Saturday, MAY 18

Two conjunctions occur in the sign of Taurus today. First, Venus aligns with Uranus this morning, encouraging us to let go of rigidity. The need to express ourselves freely and openly comes on strongly. It’s a time when we go a little off-script socially. Whether we know it or not, we’re itching for a change! Connecting with this desire can help us steer and navigate better.

For the time being, we value stimulation and newness over permanence. We lose our fear of taking risks in love, social situations, and with pleasure. There can be infatuations, whims, gossip, and unexpected opportunities socially or financially. We need more self-expression, personal freedom, and social excitement.

Secondly, the Sun aligns with Jupiter, igniting a sense of growth, improvement, and expansion. We’re enterprising and positive, filled with renewed joy, faith, and optimism. This is a time of discovery, where we’re more motivated to give than receive. Our vitality soars as we build our confidence.

We value integrity and wisdom, and this influence can motivate us to seek more recognition and respect. It favors reasonable endeavors in various areas of life, including legal, educational, religious, financial, and cultural matters.

At this time, we attract luck and rich life experiences through patience, a strong self-image and feelings of self-worth, building and strengthening efforts, and focusing on comfort, stability, and longevity.

The day’s energies are further boosted by creative aspects. We’re willing to challenge ourselves and gravitate toward plans and strategies to achieve our desires. Our inner wisdom, sixth sense, and intuition are heightened, allowing us to better understand our surroundings. This is a time when previously hidden or unacknowledged talents may emerge, inspiring us and boosting our confidence.

The Moon is void from 5:09 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Neptune), until the Moon enters Libra at 6:23 AM EDT.
