Saturday, MAY 11

This morning, the Sun forms a trine to Saturn in Earth signs, and we can feel particularly empowered dealing with practicalities and seeing things realistically. The Moon spends the day in the sign of proud, creative Leo.

Tonight, the First Quarter Moon occurs when the Sun in Taurus forms a square with the Moon in Leo. There is a crisis theme surrounding any quarter Moon phase, as we feel compelled to take action. Shortly after, we are made aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error. We become aware of differences, and this can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also of high energy, motivation, and growth. We may be feeling especially ambitious and competitive. Things are beginning to take off or to turn a corner. Whatever project or initiative we began around the New Moon is now off the ground, and it may face its first obstacles. This is a time when we want to get something going, but we may not know the next step or the exact direction we want it or us to take.
