The Full Moon in Scorpio early on Thursday opens us to the possibility of transforming our lives. As Nadiya Shah, in her youtube.com presentation of this week, reminds us it is the anniversary of the Buddha’s enlightenment. I strongly recommend her video for the advanced astrology at a fast pace. With Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn separated by 3 degrees, people are anxious to return to their jobs, as the threat of contagion is reduced. Based on scientific projections the virus will claim more lives consequent to the increased social activity. Jupiter turning retrograde on the 15^th of May could signal a return to the more stringent social distancing practices. Jupiter and Pluto will again be partile conjunction aspect in mid-June. Saturn in Aquarius is an indication that individuals will use their own judgement as to when they feel they need to return to work. Maintaining safeguards is essential, however, to prevent the transmission of the disease. A very difficult situation for many. Saturn turns retrograde on the 12^th of May, as Mars ingress Pisces. This signals a return to a more cautious attitude on the part of many, as indications of contagion begin to rise.

Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Wednesday May 6^th – The Moon in Scorpio transits to the opposition aspect to Uranus by mid-day, as we try to comprehend the life or death chances we all take daily. A drastic increase or unexpected decline in the global incidence of disease, along with erratic economic features confront us all. The Moon square aspect to Saturn precedes the opposition aspect to Uranus, suggesting that too early a rejection of safety practices would be detrimental.  The Moon in a quincunx aspect to Chiron in Aries indicates a difficulty in adjusting to the situation. Our own wisdom could contradict the powerful response received. Venus in Gemini is in a square aspect (0 deg, harsh) to Neptune. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus so sensitivity is heightened now. Words can carry a transcendent vibe.

Thursday May 7^th – The Full Moon early morning in the US happens in the evening in Far East, and afternoon in Europe and the Mideast. Enlightenment often coincides, transforming a powerfully difficult situation into one of personal clarity and understanding. With Mercury in conjunction aspect (0 deg, combining) to the Sun in Taurus, at the Full Moon, thought and communication are emphasized in the importance to achieving goals. The Moon in a trine aspect (120 flowing) to Neptune in Pisces as Mercury is sextile aspect (60 deg, helpful) to Neptune involves the miraculous as part of our more enlightened experiences now. The Moon quincunx aspect (150 deg, complex) to Venus in Gemini follows for the spontaneous transmission of discovery.  The Moon in sextile aspects to Pluto retro and Jupiter in Capricorn brings the culmination of the process to bear on the universal application of social behavior.

Friday May 8^th – The Moon in Sagittarius in a sextile aspect (60 deg, helpful) to Saturn in Aquarius responds to events with a strengthening of identity and personal resolve. A trine aspect (120 deg, flowing) to Chiron in Aries and quincunx aspect (150 deg, complex) to Uranus in Taurus follows as the inner source of wisdom opens to the transforming events.

Saturday May 9^th – The Moon is quincunx aspect (150 deg, complex) to the Sun and in a square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Neptune, as doubts and conflicting reports surface. The opposition aspect (180 deg, tense) to Venus in Gemini from the Moon in Sadge, further complicates issues, with unresolved claims. The focus is on DJT, as this opposition aspect is conjunct aspect (0 deg, combining) to his natal Moon – Sun opposition aspect. More advance discoveries could be made now, however. Mercury in Taurus and a trine aspect (120 deg, flowing) to Pluto in Capricorn indicates that information has an impact globally. The Moon in Sadge quincunx aspect to Mercury in Taurus complicates issues with contradictory claims.

Sunday May 10^th – The Moon ingress to Capricorn is semi-sextile (30 deg, mild) to Saturn in Aquarius in the early hours for a futuristic tilt to events and participation with remote attendance. The Moon in a trine aspect (120 deg, flowing) to Uranus in Taurus at mid-day and square aspect (90 deg, harsh) to Chiron in Aries indicates complex reactions to the possible game-changer, a new vaccine or treatment. Mercury in Taurus is trine aspect to Jupiter in Capricorn as new developments are integrated into medical practice. Mercury in a square aspect to Mars in Aquarius, shows anxiety perhaps due to the speed of development of inventions.

Monday May 11^th – Mercury ingress to Gemini as the Moon in Capricorn is trine aspect (120 deg, flowing) to the Sun in Taurus.  Mercury is in its sign of rulership, as the energy is strong on the physical plane, indicating that economic activity speeds up. Communication is favored as Saturn in Aquarius turns retrograde, the obstacles to communication are reduced. Electronic communication is focused on implementing goals.  The Moon transits the dynamic duo of Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn, triggering the expansion of disease and the contagion worldwide.  

Tuesday May 12^th – The Moon ingress to Aquarius early in the day, and forms a conjunction aspect (0 deg, combining) to Saturn, and trine to Mercury in Gemini. Electronic communication is made safer, with invention of new devices with more reliability. Mars ingress to Pisces, where goals may become diffused. Distributing preventative equipment and medication takes a priority.
