Saturday, MAY 2

With Mars quintile Pluto today, we’re willing to challenge ourselves, and we devise strategies to get what we desire. We’re determined to get to the truth of the matter or to get an advantage. It’s a good time to identify problems and make plans to fix them.

Today’s Jupiter-Ceres sextile can prompt positive developments in health, wellness, and family or home matters. We’re putting our hearts and faith into a cause, our loved ones, or a pet project, and we’re exceptionally generous with our time and energy.

Tonight, Mercury enters Taurus, where it will transit until the 17th. Our thinking is down-to-earth, stable, and grounded during this cycle. Common sense reigns over fanciful thinking. We communicate more deliberately under this influence.

While Mercury is in Taurus, we gravitate to tried and true methods. Attention to one thing at a time can simplify our lives during this cycle, but we should watch for stubborn or rigid thinking.

The Moon is void from 4:48 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Sagittarius tomorrow, Sunday, May 3rd, at 2:34 AM EDT.
