The Moon in Aquarius beginning this week promotes consciousness raising, while Mars in Pisces focuses our efforts on repairing the disasters that confront us. The Moon meets with Mars in Pisces by Friday, for a renewal of focus.  Jupiter turns retro on Friday this week, moving toward the conjunction aspect with Pluto retro that occurs the last week in July. As both planets are very slow moving, this aspect forms very slowly and remains in effect for all of July. The Moon will move to the conjunction aspect with Neptune on Saturday, revealing deeper levels of emotional reactions. The lunar ingress of Aries on Sunday and a conjunction aspect with Chiron in Aries could awaken inner resources. Saturn delays the forward drive, even as Mars in Pisces seeks retribution.

Wednesday May 13^th – The Moon in Aquarius forms a square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Uranus in Taurus, as Saturn in Aquarius turns retrograde.  This could have a destabilizing effect, setting into motion a reverse phase of recovery. The Sun in Taurus is trine aspect to Pluto, as the day wears on. This is one of two trines between Sun and Pluto this year. The second will be on September 13^th.  We can find some common ground now, with a transforming quality to group efforts.  

Thursday May 14^th – The Moon in Aquarius today is in a square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to the Sun early today, as a crisis in implementation of goals seems intractable. Venus in Gemini turns retrograde motion with a trine aspect (120 deg, easy) to the Moon, and a square aspect to Neptune in Pisces.  Difficult situations are discussed, with raw feelings exposed. The Sun trine aspect to Pluto remains in effect. The situation requires major policy changes that could be announced today. The Moon ingress to Pisces late in the day US times, and a conjunction aspect with Mars. While hope for universal healing remains strong, firm direction is lacking.

Friday May 15^th – The Moon in Pisces makes a sextile aspect (60 deg, helpful) to Uranus in Taurus, and a square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Mercury in Gemini. The square aspect is between the Moon and Mercury, both in mutable signs, allowing for adjustments necessary, to meet the shift in stance, or economic status. Downsizing the range of influence, the projections for the annual output of industry and commerce requires new strategic planning.

Saturday May 16^th – The Sun in Taurus is trine aspect (120 deg, easy) to the midpoint of Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn, binging the effect of the two as a conjunction aspect (0 deg, combining) into play. The pandemic is assessed in the overall impact.  Effective of government response, action needed for the recovery mode, is looked for increasingly.  The protective role of government is emphasized now. The Moon in Pisces makes a conjunction aspect with Neptune, and square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Venus in Gemini.  Disbursing aid and transforming healing capabilities is crucial to the recovery.

Sunday May 17^th – The Sun in Taurus is trine aspect (120 deg, flowing) to Jupiter in Capricorn with the Moon in Pisces sextile aspect (60 deg, helpful) to both Jupiter and the Sun, before the Moon ingress to Aries, indicates a surge in financial growth, and a more positive outlook. The Moon in a sextile aspect to Saturn retro in Aquarius, is in a more cautious mode for action, a moderated restart.  A conjunction aspect (0 deg, combining) with Chiron in Aries also indicates that advisories are heeded.

Monday May 18^th – The Moon continues in Aries, and forms a sextile aspect (60 deg, helpful) to Mercury, then a sextile to Venus. Venus is slowly moving toward the square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Neptune in Pisces.  While news of a possible antidote to the virus surfaces, the testing for the virus in the population at large could will help to identify victims of the disease.

Tuesday May 19^th – The Moon in Aries is in a square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Pluto in Capricorn, as efforts to combat the virus are finally having an effect. The Sun is in the final degree of Taurus, while Venus, the dispositor of the Sun, is in a square aspect to Neptune in Pisces. More aggressive healing efforts are promoted. The Sun is at a trine (120 deg, flowing) aspect to the midpoint of Saturn and Jupiter, bringing these two planets of very opposing influences to a closer conjunction. The use of incompatible substances to result in develop an antidote proves successful.
