Wednesday, MAY 15

Venus and Mars enter new signs today: Venus moves into the sign of Taurus and Mars begins its transit of Cancer. Venus performs well in the sign of Taurus as the sign’s ruler and will transit Taurus until June 8th. In Taurus, Venus is comfortable, sensual, content, and perhaps possessive. We seek security more than usual, and we place more value on those things that last. In fact, our judgment of value and worth is enhanced during this cycle. Our appetite for pleasure is robust.

Mars transits Cancer from today until July 1st. We are, generally speaking, cautious and conservative under this influence, but we will fight for, about, or on behalf of those people and things that are dearest to our heart. Much of what we do depends on our current mood, although we are strong and patient during this cycle.

Also today, Mercury forms a sextile to Neptune, expanding our minds and encouraging our imagination. Psychic openness figures strongly in our interactions. We experience a sense of knowing and understanding with minimal explanation or instruction. Intuition is highlighted or awakened. The Moon spends the day in relationship-focused, fair-minded Libra.
