<\/a>With the Sun past the midpoint of Taurus, the days continue to get longer and momentum builds toward the northern solstice. The Moon is gathering strength as we approach first quarter, exact at 11:14 pm EDT Tuesday. With both the Moon and Sun still in aspect to the Jupiter and the Uranus-Pluto square, this is a bold sky, still favoring the ‘make your own luck’ approach to life. Identify problems and solve them, remember what you want to create and get started, and do what you can to tip your energy forward — that’s the flow, even though Mars will still be retrograde till May 19. If you’re feeling stuck, ease yourself along as Mercury changes signs from Taurus to Gemini, one of its home signs, at 10:56 am on Wednesday, May 7. Use discernment about what is real and what is not, what’s true and what’s false, as Mercury approaches a slippery square to Neptune on May 11. This aspect is a reminder to be real with yourself and tell the truth to others, because whatever you might be denying could go (or be blown) out of proportion. One last: the big adventure on the horizon is Venus in Aries working its way toward an opposition to retrograde Mars — and then near-simultaneous conjunction to Uranus, a square to Pluto and a square to Jupiter. Though that’s not exact for more than a week, the wave of passion and intrigue is building right now. <\/p>\nI’ll send your monthly astrology reading right to your inbox free of charge (Planet Waves monthly for all 12 signs).
