From May 1st to the 4th we may push so hard for a point of view that we lose sight of our true objective. The energy and enthusiasm is nice but it must be channeled appropriately in order to have any lasting value. And, from May 5th to the 11th relationships dominate our thinking and our attitudes are pliable allowing some new air into every situation. We experience all the highs and the lows that our current relationships have to offer in direct proportion to how much energy we put into them.
1st – Thursday – Sun Quincunx Mars – Difficulties emerge as conflicting agendas run into each other. We feel that we can bypass basic disagreements by avoidance of direct confrontation but real resolution only comes from a higher perspective which arises through finding compassion for others.
2nd – Friday – Sun Contra-parallel Saturn, Mercury Opposite Saturn, Venus enters Aries – When one door is closed open a window; gain a new perspective. Momentary limitations can give us cause to reflect before taking any concrete actions. We have a unique opportunity to improve our relationships, it just requires us to adopt a new viewpoint and see the world through the eyes of other people.
3rd – Saturday – Sun Trine Pluto – We experience a lot of vitality while pursuing the most basic practical concerns. Reaching for our ideals may require some sacrifice. Undigested emotions and anger can detract our attention from what is really important. Stay emotionally available.
4th – Sunday – Sun Semi-sextile Uranus, Mercury Contra-parallel Pluto – If we are focusing on the right elements of our current situation then new opportunities can lead to a real change that is a forward leap. Obsession can lead to losing well won gains. Moderation and joy need to go hand in hand.
5th – Monday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Mars – Powerful emotions sweep us forward. There is a blessing if we are able to see what is really wholesome and then plan for the future.
6th – Tuesday – Sun Sextile Jupiter, Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pluto – Frustration can lead to angry outbursts but real support for the unfolding situation emerges easily when we put our attention on common ground. Mental adjustments, one after the other, leads to a whole new perspective.
7th – Wednesday – Mercury Semi-square Uranus, Mercury enters Gemini, Venus Sesquiquadrate Saturn, Mercury Semi-square Jupiter – Certain conversations, interruptions, and changes in plans can upset our mental equilibrium. The smartest way to go through this period is to enjoy the scenery but postpone making final pronouncements. We are midway through a long process which promises to leave us in different circumstances.
8th – Thursday – Many things which we would like to change tend to catch our attention. Now is not the time for massive corrections; however, minor adjustments may have a deep and unexpected impact. We may not be seeing our current situation accurately; major alterations need to be tabled for a little bit.
9th – Friday – Venus Semi-sextile Neptune, Mercury Parallel Jupiter – Confidence, discipline, and paying attention to our higher truth allows us to put our life situation into proper perspective. Being faithful to our own ultimate values has a way of improving all of our relationships.
10th – Saturday – Sun Opposite Saturn – A pattern of limitations create the context of today’s challenges. Staying on course for the moment and dealing with the reality we have created allows us to learn some important lessons.
11th – Sunday – Venus Opposite Mars, Mercury Square Neptune – Misunderstandings and confusion can prohibit us from drinking in the apparent good of the day. Some awkward situations can be resolved with diligent attention to the obvious. Romantic relationships require adjustments.
