Mars conjunct Jupiter & Mercury Retrograde in Taurus May 29th-June 3rd, 2022

Sunday ~ Mars and Jupiter have been moving toward this conjunction for days. It brings out bold, confident, active, and assertive traits. Since Jupiter is involved, Mars influence is hopefully less aggressive than it might be while in Aries, leaning more toward confidence, leadership and forward thinking. Jupiter opens us to opportunities, growth, and new ideas. Taurus to Gemini Moon today, The Moon and Mercury retrograde meet and we revisit plans and reconnect with friends. Void Moon 10:11 am to 1:23 pm ET and then it's Gemini Moon aligned with Jupiter and Mars for sharing of ideas, plans, and moving ahead with business agreements and educational plans. Writers may get a burst of inspiration too. New Moon is on Monday. Prepare for beginnings and reset mentally. Wear Yellow.

Monday ~ Gemini New Moon is at 7:30 am ET. This occurring during Mercury retrograde, keep your plans flexible and avoid saying anything you might need to reverse later on. It could be a good time to wait on big announcements and hold your secret or excitement to yourself just a little bit longer. Think things out, write things down, show versatility. The New Moon holds vibrations from the two spring eclipses and changes continue to roll out. Wear White today.

Tuesday ~Gemini Moon engages with Neptune in Pisces and with Saturn in Aquarius, two very different influences. Be aware of how you feel and find a combination of intuition and knowledge. Our inner wisdom can help us feel what is true, beyond words. Work together and agree on what's best for all involved, focusing on temporary yet effective solutions. Void Moon from 4:10 pm on. Today's color is Blue.

Wednesday ~ Cancer Moon time takes over at 1:49 am ET. The Moon squares Jupiter and Mars, planets that met at the same degree of Aries on Sunday. There's a push for some progress, for opening your mind or heart and freeing yourself from emotional patterns, such as codependence or limiting beliefs about yourself or something else. The Moon and Venus align for relationships and romance. Today's color is Red.

Thursday ~ Cancer Moon sextile to Uranus in Taurus for emotional aha moments. Something may fall into place or suddenly make sense. Also, this can be due to surprise changes of events. Family matters and things about home, roots, and stability are highlighted. Today's color is Light Green.

Friday ~ Mercury direct at 4:00 am ET. Cancer to Leo Moon with a void of course time 11:15am to 2:38 pm ET. The earlier hours lend to creative pastimes and work and emotional awareness. Insights and intuition heighten. Notice how you feel. Leo Moon comes in for the weekend, increasing optimism, fun and social energy. Wear Purple.

Saturday ~Leo Moon aligned with Mars Friday night and with Jupiter today, moving things forward and sparking enthusiasm for the new and adventurous. Mercury is now stationed direct, but not yet moving forward in degrees, so it could be wise to pause just a bit longer and evaluate ever changing information and situations. Overall, though, it's game on and there will be some impatience to get started. The Moon and Sun are in harmony for social and educational gatherings and activities. The impulse to learn is likely to be strong. Today's color is Gold.

Robin

Robin's Zodiac Zone for May 22nd-28th, 2022 ~Mercury Retrograde Peaks

Sunday ~ Aquarius Moon meets Saturn for feelings of gravity, the importance or pressing nature of current happenings. This could relate to agreements within groups such as families or agreements with your own inner wisdom. This happens at 3:19 am ET and the Moon is void of course from then to 11:49 am. This in between time could burden the mind. Pisces Moon takes over and forms two squares, with the Sun and with Mercury retrograde. Changeable, shifting, and emotional, it's not a prime time for decisions and misunderstandings could easily occur. Allow for indecision and enjoy spacious time without trying to fill it or stay busy. Mercury backtracks into Taurus at 9:15 pm after Mars aligns with Pluto. Mars and Pluto are shadowy and/or dark together and our own shadow side or struggles become prominent and obvious. Try not to project that on others who don't own it. This is a peak weekend of Mercury retrograde and things may feel back and forth and the need to revisit things is real. Wear Light Green.

Monday ~ Pisces Moon, Sun aligns with Jupiter, and Mercury and Mars form a sextile. All in all, things may feel easier or like they're sorting out. Take flexible approaches and a wait and see attitude. The Sun and Jupiter in air signs favor interactions, business deals, and renewed energy. This can help grow or maintain relationships, especially of a professional nature. Mercury in Taurus and Mars in Pisces encourage down to earth approaches with people and tasks. Pisces Moon remains emotionally sensitive and aware. Today's color is Blue.

Tuesday ~ Today is full of astrological aspects, beginning with Venus in Aries aligned to Saturn in Aquarius. Take relationship matters and conversations seriously, knowing that at least one party really needs that, whether it be reassurance or to make plans together. Pisces Moon is harmonious with 4 planets in earth signs and in Pisces itself. The Moon conjunct Mars heightens feelings and intensifies our need to act from an emotional place. Fortunately, other aspects have a grounding earth sign influence. Still, today could feel a bit like a full moon. Void Moon just for a few minutes before Aries Moon begins at 5:39 pm ET and Mars enters Aries at 7:17 pm. The Moon and Jupiter meet in Aries tonight for excitement and promise based on new ideas and experiences. Today's color is Red.

Wednesday ~ Aries Moon combines forces with the Gemini Sun. This is an action and decision day. Mercury is still retrograde so keep things flexible, with possibilities still evolving.  Mercury aligns in a trine to Pluto in Capricorn, at best making us quite reflective and contemplative and at worst bringing up old patterns and our shadow side. Things could get a little dark if there are regrets or held secrets that must be confessed or aired out. Sit with something that bothers you and imagine a way if can work itself out and a way to feel more free and less stagnant. Today's color is Black.

Thursday ~ Aries Moon aligns with Saturn, a planet that's been active with the Moon and planets intermittently all week. If you are in Saturn return time around 29-30 or 59-60 years old or even approaching 90 years old, the Saturn aspects may be in full effect, instilling importance to actions you take now, and you could be feeling kind of heavy or thinking deeply about everything, present and past. Aries Moon indicates a clearing. Void Moon begins 11:28 pm ET. Wear Orange.

Friday ~ Taurus Moon time starts 2:22 am ET. Venus in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn. Whatever is going on externally, stay internally aware and focused as well. Pluto is part of the inner voice and the deeper parts of ourselves. Venus is often about relationships. Hear the inner voice where relationships of any kind are concerned. Wear Indigo today.

Saturday ~ Taurus Moon meets Uranus, the zodiac's catalyst planet. Something rocks our worlds, and it could be anything with any effect. Venus also enters Taurus, a place of loyalty, sensuality and comfort, for the planet of love to visit during the weeks ahead. Do things that center you and channel physical energy in positive ways. Wear Pink.

Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio & Mercury Retrograde ~May 15th-21st, 2022

Sunday ~ Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio with a Full Moon as always, overnight into Monday, and deeply influencing this whole weekend and week ahead. Fixed sign aspects dominate the day which can mean pushing through blocks and tug o wars. Some of this may be internal and some could be with external people or situations. We are challenged to acknowledge our strong desires and feel how they connect with or contradict our earthly responsibilities and roles. Sexuality and how one identifies will also be a factor in some lives. This Full Moon signals 'coming out', emerging, embracing what is, intimacy and ability to open oneself to another or to everything. The Sun is at play/work with Saturn and Neptune while Mars and Uranus play roles, highly charging and activating plus moving energy even if it's painful or unplanned for. This Full Moon is likely to rattle and in some cases free long trapped energy, secrets and desires. Take good care of your emotional world and allow yourself time to really feel. We are meant to fully feel as certain things die off to make way for other, new experiences and evolution of a spiritual, soulful nature. Wear White today.

Monday ~ Don't expect that the eclipse happens and all is over and done with. The processes are in full effect even as the picture and experience may be rapidly developing and changing. If there's a sign that's a LOT emotionally, it's Scorpio. The Full Moon at 12:14 am ET is supported by Pluto, the planet of the inner realm, the depths, the hidden or repressed that must emerge. Above all, feel your feelings and try not to suppress emotion. Scream, move your body, cry your eyes out, whatever you need to release what's built up. And especially with the Moon moving to Sagittarius at 7:50 am ET, try not to brush over and bypass your or someone else's strong feelings or needs. The energetic shift includes fiery Sag Moon aligned with Jupiter in Aries and both give compulsion or impulse to act as well as to feel hopeful and recognize opportunities opening. With endings come space and through that we can grow and break out of stagnancy. The Moon also opposes Mercury retrograde so pause before any major commitment or answer you need to give. Keep options open and flexibility for the future. Wear Purple. 

Tuesday ~ To act or not to act yet...that's today's conundrum. Sagittarius Moon offers plenty of impulse and excitement in some cases. Avoid acting out of anger or revenge. Stay connected to what's meaningful and avoid throwing caution or thoughtfulness out the window. Venus says lovers benefit from trips and adventures together now. Travel may be appealing, even if it's a short road trip. Mars and Neptune are about to meet in Pisces, clouding reality potentially. Take extra care not to lose yourself or your sensibilities as emotions are strong under all these influences. Wear Turquoise, the color for truth.

Wednesday ~Mars and Neptune conjunction can be both passionate and under the influence. That's a dangerous combination. Do not act rashly or without some consideration of the whole picture. Do immerse in creativity, dreams and imaginative films, writing or art. Keep that boundary between imagination and reality clear. Avoid misusing or overdoing any stimulants. From 3:48 am to 8:02 am ET, the Moon is void of course and then moves to Capricorn. There may be conflict or questions about who's in charge or has the power to make a decision or change. Today's color is Blue.

Thursday ~ Capricorn Moon, Sun trine to Pluto in Capricorn, all of this in earth signs. Concrete plans, tangible products, and soul searching are in the forecast today. Meanwhile tonight at 9:33 pm ET, Mercury retrograde in Gemini aligns with Jupiter in Aries and instigates travel back to places you once loved or knew well. If that happens, you'll be seeing this place with new eyes and perspective. Some people, in the wake of the eclipses, will 'just go', move home, move away, accept the invitation to go elsewhere even if it's just temporarily. Wear Green.

Friday ~ Capricorn to Aquarius Moon at 8:33 am ET after just 96 minutes void of course. Planets align with the Moon speaking of what we 'need to do'. Hear the inner voice. The Moon and Sun are in harmony for decisiveness. Mercury retrograde says we can't quite know what's ahead, but one can act for the moment and be flexible in expectations. Togetherness feels like a word for now as the Aquarius Moon aligns with Mercury and with Jupiter. Reunions and togetherness result. Teams or collaborations of other kinds will form. The social scene may feel like it's shifted. Different friends, different priorities. Wear Light Blue.

Saturday ~ Aquarius Moon and a peak Mercury retrograde day as the Sun meets Mercury and leads to reconnections, meetings that feel meant to be, and word coming out about things that have been in the works for longer than you knew. This looks like a day of surprises, socializing, and plenty of catching up with one another as the Moon also aligns with Venus, drawing like minds and hearts together. Today's color is Yellow.

Mercury Retrograde 2022: What to Expect & Forecasts for May 8th-14th

 Sunday ~ Leo Moon for Mother's Day. This is a celebratory and outgoing sign. However, Uranus and the Sun square the Moon so some edges will be rough and unexpected changes of mind or plan are to be expected.  Works with contrasts, pursue your original idea or plan but in an alternate way. Listen to others who are very different in their desires or perspective. The best will come from working through things with good intentions today. Wear Gold.

Monday ~ Leo Moon opposite Saturn followed by void of course Moon 8:39 am ET until 6:53 pm ET. More of yesterday's vibes. Once you get one thing accomplished or sorted out, can you take some time to have fun or feel free of responsibility? Virgo Moon this evening favors organization and study as well as housecleaning. Today's color is Black.

Tuesday ~ Virgo Moon for outdoor activities, connecting with animals and nature, and for clearing up any misunderstandings and trying not to form new ones, as the Moon squares Mercury at the precipice of Mercury retrograde. Plans may be out the window this week so get in a flexible frame of mind. Mercury retro begins in Gemini at 7:47 am ET and lasts until June 3rd. In Gemini, Mercury messes with words, messages, news and possibly truth/deception. Jupiter moves to Aries today, which is a huge shift and kind of a big deal. Jupiter in Aries will push for growth and beginnings, taking spark to a flame. Versatile thinking and action is key on this day of change. Wear Indigo.

Wednesday ~ Virgo Moon opposes Mars which is emotionally challenging and also may bring up anger over things not done as expected or 'correctly'. Patience is called for today. The Moon and Sun align, which is nicer and may lead to decisiveness and feeling aligned within oneself even if the world goes crazy around you. Have a priority list and slowly move through it. Drown out with noise with a forest bath or oceanside time. Wear Brown.

Thursday ~ Virgo Moon and Pluto form a harmonious trine for late night into morning reflection and immersion in personal matters. It's a contemplation time when many will be sleeping, so perhaps it reflects in your dreams. This is midnight and beginning of void Moon until 2:34 am ET when the Moon shifts into Libra. Libra Moon almost immediately opposes Jupiter newly in Aries (and Venus later on) and questions and negotiations about how to grow and expand as partners, business or romantic partners, will arise. Mercury retrograde is in trine with the Moon and we go over past decisions for revisions. Pink is today's color.

Friday ~ Libra Moon trine to Saturn in Aquarius for seeking group harmony and consensus. Important matters come up for agreement. It's a day to work on partnership, collaboration, mission statements and other things that are mediated or decided together. If there's nothing serious on your agenda, and if you need an uplift, try music in the background or performed live, and dance away a worry. Wear Purple. 

Saturday ~ Libra Moon squares Pluto and the Moon is void from 4:07 am to 6:34 am ET. Scorpio Moon time takes over. Pluto is Scorpio's planet, and themes of privacy, inner wisdom and contemplation, and creativity from a deep emotional place are activated today. People may want their space to think and feel and get personally organized with either possessions or emotions. Wear Black today.

Mercury will be retrograde in Gemini until May 22nd, and on the 21st Mercury retrograde meets the Sun, sparking news and reunions or reconnections with people from the past. Plans and projects may be put on hold now for one reason or another. Things are likely to be confusing during the first part of the retrograde and then to slow down during the second half. The eclipse at Full Moon of May 15th/16th offers a contrasting effect and may accelerate certain things. The initiation of action may take longer though the events or news may come fast. Sit with decisions of a long term nature so you don't have to reverse them later. Really connect with your truth and your gut during this period of time.
