Thursday, MAY 4

Venus forms a square to Neptune today, and this transit can cast a veil over our needs, wants, and perceptions. We may be dreaming up the ideal, which can clash with reality. We can lack some discrimination, particularly regarding people we care about, our relationships, and material things. We should make an effort to separate fact from fiction to not set ourselves up for disappointment. What appears to be a great buy or something we need may turn out to be useless to us, or worse, a financial drain or money pit. Lines can blur with pursuing pleasure, as we can convince ourselves to believe what we want to think. We’re likely too close to the situation. Examining discontent experienced now may be an opportunity to identify where we’ve neglected our spiritual, idealistic, romantic, or imaginative needs.

The Moon continues its transit of fair-minded Libra until 10:32 AM EDT, when it moves into passionate Scorpio. With a Lunar Eclipse occurring tomorrow, it’s all the more reason to take things with a grain of salt.

The Moon is void from 5:17 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 10:32 AM EDT.
