Daily Outlooks (all times in EDT)
SUNDAY May 4: The Grand Cross is breaking up! The Cancer Moon benefits from this, as the “briar patch” aspects are no longer sequential. The Moon sextiles the Sun (5:33 am) and squares Uranus (6:20 am). People may wake up with a jolt today! The Moon is conjunct Jupiter at 8:51 am. Jupiter gains speed as he barrels through half of Cancer in eleven weeks, entering Leo on July 16th. The Moon takes a little breather before making a trine to Saturn at 6:44 pm.
These lunar contacts are optimistic and stabilizing. It's a good day to focus on domestic things, whether its a gathering with the family or working out in the yard. Jupiter often is connected to travels and journeys. There may be early celebrations for Cinco de Mayo. The Sun moves toward his power point at 15 Taurus, the midpoint between 0 Aries – 0 Cancer. This midpoint offers earthly, fertilizing, and material power, the type associated with Beltane. The Moon cooperates with this agenda since she's waxing and in her favorite sign. Put plants in the ground for lavish growth.
MONDAY May 5: The Cancer Moons sextiles Mercury at 4:46 am and goes void-of-course. This is one of those “good” voids because it links the Moon's two favorite signs, so no worries. People are friendly and happy to make fruitful exchanges as the day starts. The Moon enters Leo at 1:55 pm. This is more extroverted and playful. Mercury is sesquiquadrate Mars retrograde. Some people may be pulled into situations, conversations, and tasks that are tangential. These may be important things that need immediate attention, but distract from intended activities for a while. Mercury-Mars can be associated with traffic problems from road construction and other things that cause delays. Don't plan too tight of a schedule for the day – give yourself a little extra time if you need to be somewhere. The Moon trines Venus at 8:45 pm, which is smooths over any Mercury-Mars problems since they're in both of her signs. People will tend to be gracious today, as social courtesies are more important than the clock. Moon-Venus can stir up an urge for fresh produce, greens, and super-nutritious foods. Plan a leisurely dinner and spend time talking to talk to family members and friends.
TUESDAY May 6: The Leo Moon sextiles Mars at 10:33 am. This is a focused and driven combination that coordinates well with the Sun-Jupiter sextile. The Sun is at his Taurus power spot, which is expanded with all that Jupiter energy! These aspects emphasize the dynamic influence of strong, confident, aggressive people. There's a lot of activity and movement combined with enthusiasm. Mercury has a busy day and makes mixed aspects to asteroids, the North Node, and Pluto. He's at the last degree of Taurus and preparing to move into his own sign, so there's anticipation for things that will arrive or happen soon. The Moon trines Uranus at 6:56 pm; be open for surprises and time-tables that get moved up. It's a good week for installations, improvements, expansions and developments. Matters that were bogged down in March and April race forward. If it's meant to happen, things will go “like butter”. The Moon squares the Sun at 11:15 pm and enters her second quarter phase.
WEDNESDAY May 7: The Leo Moon squares Saturn at 6:50 am and goes void-of-course. This, unfortunately, is not a good void. Saturn injures the Moon. The void lasts until Thursday, past midnight. The planetary aspects aren't bad, but they aren't great, either. Don't make any irrevocable agreements or sign contracts. It's better to get things straightened out and squared away. Nevertheless, Mercury enters Gemini, his happy sign where he gets to play with words and thoughts, and show off all of his talents. Mercury semi-squares Uranus from Taurus, and semi-squares Jupiter as he enters Taurus, so this sign-change isn't a smooth transition. Just as one matter or conversation gets resolved, another one shows up! Semi-squares are associated with uncertainties and insecurities, so Mercury can stir up some worries as he changes signs. Mercury is moving fast, so whatever it is won't last long. The Sun sextiles Chiron, a favorable aspect for getting professional advice, communicating with critters, deciding on legal strategies, and getting good medical care.
THURSDAY May 8: The Moon enters Virgo at 2:24 am and makes a strong square to Mercury in Gemini at 5:25 am. This highlights urgent communications, the need to fix errors or make sure things are moving in the right direction, or juggle things around so they work better. The Moon doesn't make any substantial aspects until she opposes Neptune at 5 pm, so Moon-Mercury are the flavor of the day! The focus is on the mind and eye-hand coordination. Assistance comes from a sextile between Pallas Athena and the North Node. Pallas and Mercury worked together on numerous occasions to combine tools, strategy, and good timing effectively. Today is a good day to iron out any snags that occurred on Tuesday or Wednesday. The ability for critical thinking and analysis is heightened, and people are willing to share skills and expertise so goals can be reached.
FRIDAY May 9: The Virgo Moon has a busy day and makes four good aspects: trine Pluto (5:06 am), sextile Jupiter (10:47 am), trine the Sun (4:16 pm), and sextiles Saturn (6:08 pm). After this aspect she goes void-of-course. This repeats some of the contacts from Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, so people resolve situations, or complete things that got started at the beginning of the week. There's some pressure to make conclusions and resolutions, and the Moon's activity favors this before she goes void. Mercury and Jupiter are parallel and both are in extremely strong positions. This is a very good aspect for intellectual work, travel, designing things and working out complex ideas. The Sun quintiles Neptune and Neptune sextiles Juno. These aspects lean toward conceptual ideas and abstractions, whereas Mercury-Jupiter are focused on facts and figures. People who have to take tests today or perform to get a rating or certificate should do well today. There's a culmination of big investments of effort, time, and thought. People prove their abilities and complete projects as the week finishes.
SATURDAY May 10: The Moon enters Libra at 1:19 pm. She doesn't make any aspects, though; she's gets a little Moon vacation after yesterday evening's sextile to Saturn. The break in aspects suggests a need for a rest, some down time, and the pursuit of activities that give Libran pleasures and comforts, like sharing time with a spouse or good friends, or doing artistic projects. The Sun opposes Saturn today; the Moon's aspects on Friday funneled this energy into passing tests and finishing projects, so it may have less impact today. Sun-Saturn is a serious structuring aspect. Time and deadlines gain increasing importance through the week as this aspect moves toward perfection on Saturday. The Sun likes to triumph, and Saturn is the time-keeper, so people will be trying to “beat the clock,” or follow-through with things demanded by authority figures, or demands inherent in their situations. It's good to get things resolved on Friday. Everyone may need some down time and privacy today to recuperate. Spend quiet time sorting out papers, cleaning things out, or doing non-stressful tasks. Saturn likes to prune, weed, and clear away junk. People will probably be out mowing lawns or doing other yard work today, perfectly good endeavors with the Sun in Taurus. Move slowly and deliberately to avoid injuries to knees or the lower spine. Be cautious around stairs and ladders, too. The Libra Moon emphasizes balance – don't lose it! Make sure things are well-placed, centered, and stationed securely. Don't put buckets or tools on the edge of a table and turn away. This isn't a drastic or horrible aspect, but these are powerful planets and Saturn can be a real grinch. The lack of evening aspects suggests simple, non-demanding social activities. Go see a film, go out to dinner, or spend an evening hanging out with friends and family.
