Monday May 6th-
At 7:48am Saturn in Pisces semisquares Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius, creating tension between the Lord of Karma and Father of Time and the Lord of the Underworld and God of Death and Rebirth. Saturn was the ancient God of Death and Endings and Pluto is the modern one- but they both are known for the intensity connected to karma, transformation, self mastery and dealing with reality. Saturn is in Pisces- which is not a comfy place for him. Saturn wants to be grounded and masterful and Pisces is etheric and flowy. At best we can use Saturn to ground our dreams, visions and intuition- but the shadow of this position can express as fear/repression of the unconscious and emotions OR difficulty dealing with reality preferring to escape, go up and out and not really BE HERE. Pluto in Aquarius is exposing the shadow of group mind, social connections, communities and friendships. This is the 1st of 3 Saturn/Pluto semisquares- and it is a tense check point of the Saturn/Pluto conjunction from January 2020- that seeded the new Saturn/Pluto cycle. Connecting the dots with what reality checks are coming in now that are related to what was seeded at that time is key. The 2nd and 3rd semisquares will be September 25th with Pluto at 29 Capricorn and January 26, 2025 when Pluto will be back in Aquarius almost at the exact degree as the first semisquare today (1’53 Aquarius) and in Direct motion instead of Retrograde like today. Paying attention to what is arising right now is key as it can be part of what you are working with and through in the coming 8 months of this transit.
Mercury cojoins Chiron at 21’02 Aries at 10:27pm- aligning the Mind and Intellect with the Wounded Healer planetoid for the 3rd and final time. Think back to 3/20 and 4/15 when Mercury first aligned with Chiron and then again when he was Retrograde and in the Underworld. Connect what is being said, done or realized today with what has unfolded in the last month and a half to see the story arc that is coming to completion right now.
Old wounds and pain can arise in communication and thinking today (and since the Spring Equinox) but there is also potential for deeply healing communication or information to come through. Chiron in Aries is teaching us to be in right relationship with the masculine and with our Will, anger, desire and drive. Some of us stuff our anger and have a hard time asserting ourselves. Others of us are reactive, aggressive, impulsive and overly self focused. Wherever you fall too far on the end of this spectrum the other side is calling for presence in order for healing to happen. This is a great day to be in therapy, doing shadow work and getting more intimate with your wounds and pain. Awareness of what runs you subconsciously is incoming- pay attention.

Tuesday May 7th-
The Sun in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces at 1:42am- linking the Conscious Self and ego with the Lord of Karma and Father of Time. Sun/Saturn is amazing for being grounded, masterful, responsible and integrous (full of integrity). The Sun in Taurus is sensual and embodied and Saturn in Pisces is helping us take our dreams and visions and bring them into manifestation! It’s a great day for taking slow steady steps into a direction you want to be moving towards for long term building and material/spiritual growth that can last far into the future.
The New Moon at 18’02 Taurus is exact at 11:22pm EDT- commencing a new Lunar Cycle focused on money, abundance, material reality, women, the feminine, earth, climate change and the environment (all Taurean themes). This New Moon is tightly conjunct Uranus at 22’48 Taurus and also conjunct Jupiter at 25’48 Taurus- energizing the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction from April 20th (you can read my blog about that here- https://divineharmony.com/astrology-blog/jupiter-conjunct-uranus-calling-on-the-doves-of-peace/). This is a very Venusian, Jupiterian, Uranian and Taurean lunation! We will have a VERY AUSPICIOUS AND BLESSED conjunction of Venus and Jupiter at 29 Taurus aligned with the Pleiades sextile Neptune at 29 Pisces on May 23rd- at the midpoint of this Lunar Cycle on the same day as the Full Moon. JUST WOW. (I talk about this very deeply in the Lunar Gate Call below)

Wednesday May 8th-
At 9:18pm Hygeia cojoins the Mean North Node at 14’02 Aries- aligning the Goddess of Healing and Wholeness with the North Node of Destiny! Our healing path is calling us forward. We need to take the poison of the wound and transmute it into the cure. We cannot keep passing the poison on- this is the Karma of the Father line as seen in Greek myth with Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter. Pay attention to themes of wounding and healing and where your destiny is calling you further on your path of healing and wholeness today.
Thursday May 9th-
At 12:01pm Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius sextiles Retrograde Pallas Athena in Sagittarius- linking the Planet of Transformation and Evolution with the Wisdom and Warrior Goddess. Pluto/Pallas is exceptional for taking the Wisdom and Intelligence of Pallas into the depths, the shadows and underworld. This is EXCELLENT for research, investigation, shadow work, therapy- anything that requires getting to the bottom of things is supported right now. Pallas is devoted to the search for Truth in Sagittarius- Pluto is devoted to the freedom of all of humanity in Aquarius. A good mantra right now- Be more committed to seeing the Truth than you are to being right ;)
Friday May 10th-
At 3:22pm Venus in Taurus quincunxes the Mean South Node in Libra- creating tension between the Goddess of Love and Beauty in her own sign and the Karmic South Node in her other sign. This can amplify and perhaps exacerbate tendencies to overdo the feminine energies of sensuality, peace keeping, sweeping things under the carpet and overindulgence. We can be using people or things to avoid facing wounds and pain in addictive ways. Checking out, escaping and denying does not make things go away- and it actually gives them more power. The Aries energy right now is the antidote to this and needs to be integrated and balanced with the Venus/Libra energy present. See where you need to face things today and get to it!
Mars in Aries semisquares Uranus in Taurus at 8:22pm- creating tension between the Will and Drive and the Rebel and Revolutionary. Mars/Uranus at its best can be great for taking risks and embracing change. Yet this is a tense aspect and it can exacerbate tendencies to impulsivity, reactivity and unbridled expressions of anger and rage. Watch out for acting without thinking. Finding balance between knowing what to do in the moment and knowing when to pause and breathe and count to 10 before taking action (or speaking) is key.
At 8:27pm Venus in Taurus semisquares Neptune at 29 Pisces- creating tension between the lower and Higher Hearts. Venus/Neptune is romantic, idealistic and can indulge in fantasy. Venus in Taurus wants perfection of the body and physical experience, Neptune in Pisces wants perfection of the spirit and soul. This can be uber romantic but it can also be completely out to lunch, ungrounded, spiritual bypassing and addictive- using romance, sex, money, physical things as a means to indulge and escape. With Neptune at the Karmic Completion degree of Pisces- we are being asked to really take off the rose colored glasses and SEE REALITY CLEARLY as it is on its own terms. In relationships being aware of patterns of projection or escapism is key right now.
Saturday May 11th-
My talk with the Keepers of Wisdom Online Global Conference airs live today at 10am EDT! I hope you will join me. You can register for this free event here- https://www.keepers-of-humanity.com
At 6:25am Mercury cojoins Eris at 25’05 Aries- aligning the Mind and Intellect with the Goddess of Discord and Chaos in powerful ways! This is the 3rd and final Mercury/Eris conjunction with the first on 3/26 and the second on 4/8 the same day as the Total Solar Eclipse conjunct Chiron. Think back to these dates and connect the dots with what is happening now as this transit comes full circle and into completion. Eris reveals the shadow. She shines a Light on that which others do not want to see or look at. Communication or information in the last couple of months could have be revealing but also disarming and destabilizing. Being willing to see beyond the surface and get to the Truth has been key- personally and collectively. Pay close attention to what has been unfolding and activating in the Aries part of your chart (listen to Horoscopes for more info). This is a great day to SPEAK YOUR TRUTH- but make sure to do it from the heart with healthy boundaries for best results.
Sunday May 12th-
