5/10 • Sun (purity and energy) ~sextile~ Jupiter (optimism and imagination):
While this energy is sometimes considered “lucky,” success under its influence is more likely to be attributed to a positive outlook and a clear understanding of who you are and what you want. Your life expands and your self-awareness deepens, making it easier to connect with other individuals with shared goals and higher consciousness. This promotes improvements and creates opportunities that benefit not only you, but the larger community as well. There is a healthy dose of optimism surrounding the grand plan and things are already in motion. However, it is essential to create the space to lay the foundations that support this broader vision as it is realized in reality. For those in teaching, directing or leadership roles, this energy provides significant support for their community or group endeavors. Self-driving and practicing workshops, seminars or new classes is fully supported and will benefit you while serving others.
5/12 • Mercury (ideas and thinking) ~sextile~ Jupiter (beliefs and consciousness):
While the Sun sextile Jupiter emphasizes individual identity or self-expression, this activation focuses on your individual consciousness, ideas, thoughts and concepts and expands them with Jupiter’s influence to encourage greater thinking – broadening your vision. It encourages you to reexamine your personal narrative, raise your game. Especially beneficial for those in school or learning, this energy supports expanding your knowledge base, acquiring new tools, and gathering information and wisdom to accomplish your goals. Your dreams call to your attention and prompt you to shift your focus from everyday worries to envisioning and creating the life you envision. Also, this energy promotes the awareness that your generosity naturally attracts generosity. It sheds light on the big picture and the general patterns that have gotten you this far. With a heightened sense of clarity, sharpness, alertness, and optimism, you realize that anything you can imagine or remember is within reach. Imagine success and picture yourself!
05/13 • Vesta enters ARIES (until 02/16/2027):
Vesta it represents you, the individual – in its purest, most sacred form. This is the part of you that can be deeply focused or completely devoted to one person or project, sometimes to the exclusion of other aspects of life. We can be a bit extreme here sometimes. But up in the sky, He activates all of us to start a new cycle aimed at making the ARIES identity and purpose not only important, but SACRED. This is great energy when you need to focus on a project or goal that is truly important to you, the individual. Under such an influence, it is best to work alone, but if you have a partner, don’t forget to discuss in advance what your needs and desires might be. We can use this time to realign our individual identity and purpose in a very special way that only happens every 4 years or so. You are then given permission to focus on your Self, and it is not seen as selfishness, but as self-preservation, and it is absolutely necessary to reconnect with your Soul-Self. This is a huge personal reboot, so make the most of it, as it also goes Retrograde here (Aug.-Nov.), extending its stay in your Aries House by 8-9 months, taking us into 2027. We’ve had so much rebirth in Aries Energy over the past few years (and will continue to do so for the next few years) that this personal retreat is moving into the community zone. to your own Self, your own needs and your own Nature as it has evolved over the last 4+ years, so this is a check-in.
5/14 • Mercury (ideas and thoughts) ~together ~ Sun (energy and focus):
This compelling energy prompts you to express yourself in multiple layers of existence. Communication is at the forefront, yet it is crucial that it flows both ways – a real exchange of ideas. As you enter this fresh cycle of self-expression, you will be able to harness powerful energies that are likely to leave a lasting impact or make a significant difference in the lives of others when needed. This is an auspicious moment to travel, either physically or in the realm of your mind through visualization, or even to explore new aspects of your immediate environment. Exploring uncharted paths can reveal unexpected discoveries. This energetic influx brings with it a wealth of information, so vigilance is paramount. For those who are grounded and organized, this phase can bring well-deserved recognition from others – proving the individual effort you put into your efforts. Accept this influx of energy, allow it to lead you to new experiences and insights, while remaining open to the flow of communication and exchange that aligns with your authentic self-expression.
5/16 • TAURUS super/new moon:
The Super Moon it adds intensity and alignment to the mix. Every year at this time, we tend our own gardens, that sacred place where everything we love has a place to grow, develop and bear fruit. What are you doing in your garden this year? There is always an opportunity to start over, to anchor the new ideas that were activated a month ago (4/17) at the last Aries New Moon, as we practice the new routines that help us manifest and sustain whatever we are creating right now. The energy of Taurus, whether a starter or a finisher, always gives you an opportunity to assess your priorities. What is REALLY important – now? What feeds, supports and sustains you now? And since Venus is involved, I would also add the word “Who” ~ Who is feeding, supporting and sustaining you at this time? Taurus is all about what we *do*, so look at what has worked and what hasn’t over the past 6 months to a year and notice what *building blocks* you have right now that can help you create, manifest and/or magnetize a comfortable and fulfilling existence that truly reflects your worth.
Taurus is a lesson and energy it is not so much about “waiting” as it is about slowing down so that we can consciously cultivate and create together with the energies, resources and opportunities that appear at this time. You can internally anchor aspects of your recently activated New Identity (Aries), those aspects of Self that you feel will support and sustain you in this brand new territory. Whether it’s energetic “new territory” or actual physical, literally “new territory” – we’re all in some completely new terrain. This is the time of year to renew your commitment and dedication to living the life you need, want and deserve. Take stock of what you’ve spent and what you’ve gained in the past year, appreciate EVERYTHING, and then truly part ways, because you’re worth MUCH MORE! NEW energy and support is available, and as your values and priorities have changed permanently over the past year, it’s good to reflect on what deeply supports who you are, here and now. What feeds, nurtures, supports and protects your NEW desires? NEW values? NEW priorities? What energies, relationships and circumstances does it magnetize? What breed do you reject? How often do you tune in to honor the beauty and abundance around you and within you? Gratitude releases energy and connects you to new resources. So use this Taurus Super/New Moon to plant the seeds of prosperity and abundance in your garden all year round.
