Saturday, MAY 17

The Sun aligns with Uranus today, and Venus forms a semi-square with both bodies. The Sun-Uranus conjunction is a yearly event that heralds change, disruptions, interruptions, and new directions. This alignment also brings a sense of freedom of movement and a potential shift in our modus operandi. It prompts us to seek new ways to enjoy and express ourselves, handle money and possessions, and find comfort.

This energy can make us progressive and pioneering, but also defiant or rebellious. With Uranus, a certain level of detachment or decrease in sentimentality may be necessary to break free from limiting situations. We’re drawn to what’s unusual or avant-garde.

With Uranus in Taurus, we’re transforming our views and use of money and personal possessions. Our values are evolving, and today’s energies highlight this theme. We’re also inclined to challenge the rules or go against tradition and expectations. Our egos awaken, and there may be sudden changes in store.

There can be some restlessness or discontent with our current pleasures or pastimes. We can experience unusual attractions, whether to people, objects, or situations, that might prompt us to act on a whim. Ideally, these new experiences and attractions, though unpredictable, can lead to exciting changes in our lives. It’s best to get in touch with our needs and watch for overindulging or procrastinating.

As the day advances, Mercury heads toward a square with Mars, and we should watch for hasty communications and skipping steps. We can find ourselves too quickly in disagreement, likely because we’re communicating ineffectively or impatiently. For example, we may be competing for the floor when expressing our ideas, thoughts, and opinions, making it difficult to engage in healthy dialogue. However, it’s a strong aspect for agitating things enough that we’re asking questions.
