Sunday, MAY 18

Mercury forms a square to Mars very early today, animating or agitating our communications and thoughts, and then it semi-squares Saturn this morning, pointing to potential delays or miscommunications. We may need to manage some inconveniences in our communications and transit.

An outer planet transit with longer-term influence occurs today: Jupiter sextile Chiron. With this influence, our attempts to broaden our horizons through such experiences as furthering our education, expanded activities, and spirituality, contribute much to our personal growth.

This subtly uplifting time brings us the opportunity to free ourselves from restrictive and negative attitudes that have been undermining our progress. We are especially open to learning from others and better able to help others understand our point of view. We might open our minds to different perspectives and philosophies. We are absorbing and possibly sharing what we’ve learned from past experiences and mistakes.

This transit first formed on October 12th, 2024, and then on November 2nd, 2024. This is the third and final perfection of this transit.

Also today, Venus forms a quintile with Jupiter, and we more readily give one another the benefit of the doubt. Putting our faith in someone or something now can feel especially good.

The Moon is void from 12:28 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Saturn), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 1:30 AM EDT.
