We’ve been experiencing Pluto in Aquarius for the first time since he entered the sign on March 23rd and now as we enter the month of May Pluto Retrogrades in this sign, starting at 1:09pm Eastern on the 1st. This shift in the direction of the planet should correlate to the shift in our own direction with the powerful changes, third-party influences, financial, sexual, or reproductive influences playing out online, with friends, groups, gatherings, around astrology, charities, causes, aspirations, freedoms, or original projects. We are going to retrace our steps since then and see what this do-over period now can help us figure out from today through June 11th, at which point Pluto will take his Retrograde back into Capricorn. See what is shifting today for clues as to how to focus your attention on these needs.

We have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 5th in Scorpio, the sign that Pluto naturally rules, so I’m thinking these first 5 days of the month with Pluto Retrograde leading to this Full Moon are going to be powerful. This is about what is culminating with loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, investments, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, your mortgage, or other financial interests, as well as what is at its peak with your sex life, reproductive needs, divorce, any births, deaths, crime, or third-party influences. You should be seeing things wrap up, achieved, ended, or celebrated in one or more of these areas of life now. This Full Moon involves Mercury and Uranus quite closely in opposition so there may be exciting or shocking news, talks, meetings, situations with vehicles, electronics, siblings, neighbors, money, purchases, possessions, friends, sales, groups, or the internet involved in ramping up this Full Moon climax.

Venus moves into Cancer on the 7th at 10:25am Eastern and will tour here until June 5th. This is about more love or income, beauty or pleasure now playing out at home, with family, on an emotional level, through nurturing, with parents, roommates, moves, renovations, or real estate deals. It should be warm and relaxing, may help you beautify your space, bring beautiful objects into your home, or share the love with those closest to you, enjoy.

Mercury went Retrograde on April 21st in Taurus and now, on the 14th, Mercury Retrograde ends at 11:17pm Eastern and we start to go forward again in Direct motion. This shift in direction this evening can mean we see a few last mix-ups, malfunctioning mechanicals or electronics, or miscommunications as it is less stable during this turn of direction, however we are now ready to start moving forward again with ideas, talks, news, meetings, sales, writing, short trips, offers, or what’s going on with siblings, neighbors, moves, vehicles, electronics, or decisions involving our values, how we are valued, our income, purchases, possessions, the things we build, our pleasures, or products.

On the 16th at 1:20pm Eastern Jupiter enters Taurus for the first time in 12 years, last time here between June 2011-June 2012. Jupiter loves this sign and is ready to start taking us into bigger, more generous, optimistic, happy, prosperous, or adventurous territory with our income, purchases, possessions, products, values, being valued, pleasures, or the things we build. Jupiter wants to expand our horizons here through travel or distant situations, legal moves, media ventures, marketing ideas, teaching, learning or getting certified, ceremonies, religion, philosophy, politics, or other beliefs. Our only thing to watch out for is Jupiter’s enthusiasm for growth could mean we overextend ourselves and go overboard so aim high but don’t get carried away! We will have Jupiter helping us in this territory for the next year so make the most of it.

Finally, there is a New Moon on the 19th at 11:53am Eastern in Taurus. This gives us all a nice cosmic boost forward over the next 2 weeks to help us start anything new or take current interests into what comes next with income, purchases, possessions, products, values, being valued, pleasures, or the things we build.

Mars moves into Leo on the 20th at 11:31am Eastern and will tour this sign now until July 10th. Mars is about firing us up, getting us more motivated and active, stirring our passions, and helping us make things happen. In Leo this can be about our love life or what we’re doing with lovers, the kids, our creative talents and ventures, or recreational pursuits. On the challenging side Leo can be about dramas or entitlement issues while Mars can be about anger or fights so we’ll have to keep a handle on this side of things so we can really get the most out of this exciting and busy time in our love life, with our lovers, with the children, in our creative ventures, or with our recreational pursuits.

Lastly this month, the Sun moves into Gemini on the 21st at 3:09am Eastern and will tour here over the next 30 days. This puts a spotlight on ideas, flirtations, diplomacy, duality, and urges us to show up and get more personally or physically involved pursuing our own interests through talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, auditions, short trips, or with siblings, neighbors, moves, vehicles, electronics, or local activities. Here we go.

ARIES:

We kick off May with Pluto Retrograding on the 1st in Aquarius and a shift in what is going on with the big changes, deeper connections financial interests, sex, or third-party influences with your friends, groups, online, through astrology, charities, gatherings, aspirations, original projects, or your freedoms, Aries.

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 5th is in your zone of financial matters, sex, reproduction, birth, death, divorce, crime, and third-party situations. This peaks by 1:34pm Eastern so the days leading up to this and today can be more emotionally charged about one or more of these matters as you wrap something up, mark an ending, achieve a goal, or celebrate a big moment here. Mercury and Uranus oppose this Full Moon so it is likely you have news coming in or some unexpected, surprising or last minute talk, meeting, or decision involving how you are valued, your values, your income, purchases, possessions, or products tied to what this big moment is about.

Venus moves into your zone of home, family, moves, renovations, parents, roommates, and real estate deals on the 7th. This is a lovely influence as she wants to bring love or income into these stories or focus on the beauty or pleasure here for you. This lasts until June 5th so enjoy it!

Mercury is Retrograde in Taurus from the 1st-14th this month so you are readdressing past or ongoing situations around income, purchases, possessions, or products. You may be rekindling an old opportunity, idea or situation, or releasing what no longer works, or reworking the current scenario, all the while dealing with the mix-ups, miscommunications or malfunctioning items associated with these topics. Now on the 14th Mercury goes Direct and you shift gears into forward motion, ready to move ahead with whatever you figured out. On the 16th Jupiter moves into this same sign, Taurus, for the first time in 12 years and will tour here over the year to come. Jupiter wants to take things bigger, focus on the happiness, prosperity or growth, and look at any travel, distant, legal, educational, medica, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political influences on your income, purchases, possessions, or products. So, as an example you might further your education to help bolster your income or you might earn through teaching what you know, you might buy tickets to travel the world, sign legal documents on a major purchase of land, find new values through religious experience or political activism, look at the different combinations that could take you into brighter possibilities.

TAURUS:

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 5th is in your sign of relationships and about any financial, sexual, reproductive, divorce, births, deaths, or third-party influences coming to a peak with this partner, client, specialist, representative, competitor, opponent, or advocate. You may be wrapping things up, marking an ending, achieving what you’ve been working towards, or celebrating some big moment about it with them. Mercury and Uranus are in your sign opposite of this Full Moon peak so you may be in talks, hearing news, meeting, or making decisions that are spontaneous, last minute, exciting, shocking, or suddenly changing as this comes to a peak.

Your ruler, Venus, moves into your zone of talks and meetings, sales, writing, short trips, and local activities, siblings, neighbors, moves, and flirtations, on the 7th to tour here until June 5th. This should bring some good things your way via love or income in these or through these realms, or more beauty or pleasure here, so make the most of it!

Mercury is Retrograde in your sign from the 1st-14th so you are reevaluating what is going on with your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs or you are heading back to get reinvolved in some past or ongoing story in your do-over. This means talks, meetings, sales, writing, short trips, or decisions are in this release, rekindle or reworking stage and it’s personal or physical for you during the first half of the month. You may of course find you are misunderstood or have issues with mechanicals or electronics during this phase. Then on the 14th Mercury goes Direct at 11:17pm Eastern and you shift back into forward gear, ready to start moving ahead with what you figured out. On the 16th Jupiter moves into your sign kicking off an auspicious year for you as Jupiter brings more happiness, prosperity, growth, or adventure your way. Look at what you might do involving travel or distant situations, legal agreements, media, marketing or educational pursuits, ceremonies, or with your religious or political beliefs as you look at what you are doing personally or physically to expand your horizons.

It’s been a couple of years since you had this kind of boost just remember that Mars can also bring up anger or fights and Leo ca bring up entitlement issues or dramas so you’ll want to steer clear of this side of the energy to make the most of it.
