May 16-22 Astrological Forecast
By Bob Mulligan
From the 16th to the 22nd we accomplish much if we understand what we are really responsible for. Time is well spent learning, doing paperwork, and meditating. The outpouring of energy is unstoppable if the healing power of love is promoting it.
16th – Monday – Mercury Conjunct Venus, Mercury Sextile Neptune, Venus Sextile Neptune, Mercury Parallel Jupiter – We revisit some ideas with a friend and find some common ground; we are in the middle of something new that has the healing property of taking care of an issue from the past.
17th – Tuesday – Sun Sesquiquadrate Saturn, Sun Semi-sextile Jupiter, the Full Moon is at 7:10 AM EDT – Adjusting to the needs of society requires energy and attention. We are navigating the difficulties that have emerged around us. As the world changes our outmoded techniques for adapting to circumstances are exposed. Take note of things requiring alteration.
18th – Wednesday – Mercury Semi-sextile Uranus, Venus Semi-sextile Uranus – We may experience mild disruption to our daily routine as we integrate new ideals. Interruptions may cause us to miss an important engagement but some distance from ordinary life may offer us a new perspective.
19th – Thursday – Venus Contra-parallel Neptune – Artistic instincts are powerful and the urge to create is strong; do something physical and you will feel more like you belong on the planet.
20th – Friday – Mars Trine Pluto, Mercury Trine Pluto, Mercury Conjunct Mars – You have an urge to connect with others; express your feelings. Receive other people’s comments with circumspection as emotional energy is miles ahead of common sense. People may be promising more than they are able to give.
21st – Saturday – Sun enters Gemini, Mercury Contra-parallel Neptune, Venus Trine Pluto – Without losing sight of our practical concerns we do redirect our focus today. Getting the correct outlet for our passions can be problematic. If you have the luxury of waiting, put off important decisions for a couple of days.
22nd – Sunday – Sun Square Neptune – Nervous impulses can have us moving; activity for its own sake may not be in our best interest; expanded visions of the truth may look better in the abstract than they do in practice. Wait for clarity.
