Sun in Taurus Happy Beltane. Take a journey in the garden of your mind. Take the time to weed out negative thoughts and to plant the seeds of change, seeds of peace, seeds of love, and of course every one's favorite- seed money.
Full Moon in Scorpio on Sunday, May 10: Honor all your Mothers today - birth mother, grand mothers, and all the nurturing women in your life. New Moon in Taurus on Sunday, May 24: Release feeling obstinate and stubborn and instead find your healthy determination and tenacity.
Mercury Retrograde in Gemini/Taurus Whatever you resist, persists. Now is the time to examine what you are defending so hard (especially in your communication) and see how your participation is actually creating conflict. Stop being a bully and holding others emotional hostage. Remember to use honey instead of vinegar with all of your words.
Venus in Aries conjunct Mars in Aries Attraction and Desire do an ecstatic dance over the night sky, these two lovers conjunct in a passionate embrace. With all this fire, fire, fire, ask yourself: is this just the spark of a match, the steadiness of the candle or the sustainability of the hearth?
Jupiter in Aquarius is squaring Vesta in Gemini, asteroid goddess of the hearth and home. Jupiter is the great exaggerator, so you might feel extra energy in any place where you feel duality. It's up to you to decide if you feel a tug of war or a balancing act between polarities. Remember, there is always a third option. How will you tend to your own sacred flame now?
Neptune conjunct Chiron in Aquarius and Saturn Retrograde in Virgo all speak to the current swine flu crisis, and the need for reviewing our health habits from microcosm to macrocosm. We need to wash our hands in more ways than one, boost our immune systems instead of our defense systems, and remember we all breathe the same air. What are you doing on you part to be green, clean and all the more serene?
Uranus in Pisces Neil Giles writes: "The last era of Uranus in Pisces is now remembered as the era of jazz and gin, flappers and gangsters, the Roaring Twenties and prohibition where the urge was to live an intoxicating carefree life, without thought for tomorrow. This was an era that began in the ruins left by the Great War and the horrors of the Spanish flu, a plague that was to claim more than twenty million lives as it raged through 1918 and 1919. This was a world that turned from despair to hope as it embraced pleasure and decadence while stock markets climbed to unprecedented heights. This was an era that was blindly hurtling towards the edge of a precipice, the Great Crash of 1929, and the rocks below it, the Great Depression. Pisces marks the end of a cycle, a submergence of the self into the more powerful or transcendent forces at work in the cosmos."
Pluto in Capricorn is squaring Venus & Mars, making some experience the battle of the sexes while others are rutting like little goat herders. All is not fair in love or in war, and it is up to you to create if not a win-win situation at least a more even playing field.
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
