Mercury’s close connection to the Taurus Sun may have you going back and forth between being of sound mind, focusing on the material and being an emotional wreck.  

This phase can push your (in)security buttons, financially and emotionally; while you focus on things like income, resources, support and sustenance. The emphasis will be on wealth, banks, borrowing, credit, debts, mortgages, taxes, insurance, wills and estates.  

On another level, your thoughts circle around relationships, self-worth and worthiness, physical and sensual appeal and attractiveness, love and affection, sexual passion and deep connection, intimacy, closeness and sharing.  

Neptune in Pisces favorably connects to the Full Moon providing inspiration and the perfect escape from thinking about money or matters of life, death and survival. Just breathe. Do something creative. Meditate. Be near water.    

This influence also lends a hand in tuning into the realms of the spiritual, intuitive and mysterious as sensitivities will be heightened, creating a vibe that feels out of this world.

Scorpio is wrapped in intensity, complexity, vulnerability and things deep, dark, hidden and unspeakable. This phase sheds light on matters kept secret, suppressed, covered or concealed involving things like power, control, corruption, abuse, violence, lust, envy, and all kinds of wickedness that dwells in Scorpio’s realms.      

Pluto the ruler of Scorpio, has recently gone retrograde in Capricorn for the next five months suggesting that there’s an unearthing of things deep below and buried, perhaps, even the resurfacing of an old passion, along with an inner restoration, reset and revival that’s underway.  

Many of the beliefs you’ve held, behaviors or measures you’ve organized and built your life around may be put to the test or done away with altogether if found to be invalid or no longer necessary to who you’re becoming. Others may be reinforced because, over time, its proven to be so and you know what you know. And that’s ok. Don’t be afraid to reassess – it’s the perfect time to do so! In just a few days we have a slow-down in the sky as Venus, Jupiter and Saturn turn retrograde and cover old ground.   

Venus is retrograde in Gemini from May 12th through June 25th- a time for reconnecting, getting in touch and exchanging thoughts and ideas. During this period, old friends and lovers could make an appearance, or it may be that a familiar situation arises. It may be time to re-assess some of your associations. Traditionally, it’s not a favorable time to begin relationships or to get married but I’ve seen some make it work. It’s also not the best time for shopping or changing your looks by doing a dramatic make-over with your hairstyle, cosmetic surgery, etc., the results may not be what you had in mind. Maintenance is ok though. I can see people eager to catch up and flocking to their stylists after being quarantined for weeks. 

Jupiter in Capricorn Retrograde May 14th through September 12th and Saturn retrograde in Aquarius - Capricorn May 10th through September 29th – during this phase, review your beliefs and assumptions, check your preconceptions, judgments, viewpoints and philosophies about success and achievement, authority and rules, limitations and restrictions; take another look at social standards and norms, redefine your goals, acknowledge your resistance and re-establish your position. Don’t be afraid to change old paradigms and belief structures so that it aligns with the model for your future.

Full Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL!
