This Week
Moon in Cancer Until Friday
We're more sensitive when the Moon in Cancer. Although we'll have some energetic, social days this week, there's probably an underlying tendency to make like a crab and crawl in our shells.
Tuesday, May 2
Moon Conjuncts Mars
This conjunction can be a good thing or a bad thing; it's all you. Mars brings a lot of energy, and you can, (and I suggest you do), use it to get things to where they need to be. You may even be able to use the power of the conjunction to identify your true purpose.
But you've got to keep things in perspective.
Remember the oft-repeated wise words of an old friend of mine, "I don't have time for foolish people." Let other people's nonsense float right over you. This could be hard. Someone just may get on your last nerve today. Ignore it. Carry on in spite of it all.

Moon Sextiles Sun
My Ama used to sing, "Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative and don't mess with Mr. In Between" (Mercer I think). Let this be your motto today.
Everyone is more optimistic than usual.
If you've been plotting and planning, now's the time to put the plan into action. Don't let anyone or anything bring you down or hold you back. Don't mess with doing anything 1/2 way.
If you "Keep on the Sunny Side", you may find new opportunities knock-knock-knocking at your door.

Moon Trines Uranus
The only thing you can expect when the Moon trines Uranus is the unexpected. Go with it. Do something different. Go somewhere different. Make new friends and influence people. You may find just the thing you've been looking for.
Tuesday, May 2
Moon Trines Jupiter
This day just keeps getting better and better. We're optimistic, spontaneous and now, Jupiter jumps in making us feel giving. While you're experiencing all these new and unexpected things, do something unexpected yourself for someone else.
Wednesday, May 3
Mercury Trines Pluto
Get to the bottom of things. This is a good day to schedule important discussions, to confront, (in a non-hostile way), others about how you really feel.
Take some time to talk to yourself today too. What do you really feel? What do you really want? Someone who could change your life, a mentor maybe, might be just around the corner. You want to be sure you have your inner ducks in a row when they do.
Wednesday, May 3
Venus Enters Aries
Impulsiveness hops in today, particularly in relationships. Don't jump in or out of them right now. Remember, Venus in Aries tends to make us more in love, (or out), with the idea of things and people than the things and people themselves.
Thursday, May 4
Sun Sextiles Uranus
Lightbulbs, once again, begin to flash over your head. Throw the mundane out the window and go with it. Forget your usual routine. Follow your ideas and instincts instead.
Thursday, May 4
Sun Opposes Jupiter
Things are looking up. Take those projects off the shelf and blow the dust off of them. Get back into the flow of things. Imagination and growth are at a peak right now.
It's time to let it all out and/or let it all hang out. But try not to over-dramatize or get too excited. You're going to be creating a huge amount of energy. Keep it in perspective or you may find yourself in over your head down the road.
Thursday, May 4
Jupiter Trines Uranus
Hmmm... now, this could be interesting. You just might be falling in love, (this could be with a person or a situation). However, the person or project might seem a little dubious. Indeed, they or it may be a little dubious. But if you throw caution to the wind, you'll find yourself in for a grand old time.
Now, be aware, this isn't the type of thing that's going to stay secret. So, if you're going for clandestine, don't go for this. If you want something different with some PR thrown in, you've hit upon just the thing.
So, go after the girl or guy you've been admiring from a distance. When applied to situations, the energy is best for things like publishing and promotion. It'll work right now. If you do what you love, and make it known to the world, your money, influence and all that goes along with it can increase by leaps and bounds.
Trust your instincts. Keep in mind that what may have seemed impossible before may be possible now. Grab the brass ring, then ring out as many bells as you can.
Friday, May 5
First Quarter Moon
You may have forgotten to look at the details this week, with all the excitement that's been in the air. If you've got a 'don't want to do list' (and we all do), go on and go through it. Otherwise, those little things will become big things.
It also may be time to look at your emotional 'don't want to do list'. If things aren't working right/don't feel right, it's time to think them through more clearly, talk them out.
As for new plans, it's time to step back from the whirlwind for a moment and try to see the new situations we're in objectively. Identify the small details there too.
Friday, May 5
Moon in Leo
This combo tends to make us just not want to budge. We feel right. We know we're right. We're not going to let go of the point. That's fine, as long as you pay attention to the details, as outlined above.
You'll find yourself more attracted to power, money, hedonistic revelries, and that's ok too. Let all that fiery desire motivate you to move forward with projects and ideas. Make more money, go after that promotion, whatever seems available to you at the moment, go for now.
Sunday, May 7
Mars Trines Jupiter
"Get rhythm when you get the blues..." the words of Mr. Cash may seem just right for you today. Even if things haven't been going as well as you'd like, you've now got full perspective. This makes you so motivated you may find yourself jumping to the beat of your own drum.
This is a day for action. Lady luck may be lurking around waiting to tap you with her wand too. It's another good day to bring the things you've been planning into action. But beware: if you're only thinking of yourself it's going to bite you in the you-know-what. Do what seems to best serve the greater good as well as your own.
Sunday, May 7
Mars trines Uranus
"Ch-ch-ch-changes...time to make a change..." Today it's Bowie talking to us. Time to make a change. Think it through clearly first, then do what the best new thing seems to be. From sex to governing, things you take in a new direction today can make things permanently better.
Stay away from impulsive change though. That's not going to work out as well. Let your true self out, (Mars makes us braver, more open, more assured), and move things to the place you truly feel they should be in.
Breaking from tradition, shaking off those shackles you've bogged yourself down with, doing the unexpected, can actually help, not hinder you right now. So spread your wings and fly.
Sunday, May 7
Venus Trines Saturn
While you're going with all of the above, remember to keep stability and responsibility a priority. Don't break so loose that you break the healthy ties that bind. At the same time, don't get so stuck in keeping what you've got that you forget to take all those beautiful chances described above. Balance is the thing.
Sunday, May 7
Mercury Squares Saturn
This is an odd day. On the one hand, you're really getting into the swing of things, on the other you're somewhat pre-occupied with stability and not changing, and now, with Mercury/Saturn, you may feel a little off-balance on top of it.
Go with changing the big things through the small things; keep things as intellectual, rational as you can. Above all, don't let the bastards get you down, (today or ever, for that matter). Saturn is just making us feel a little negative, it's muddling impressions and discussions. Try to ignore it.
