Monday, MAY 4

Venus forms a semi-square with Chiron today, and we may focus on differences rather than similarities in our relationships.

If we’re creative with this energy, however, we might make it work for us by making a concerted effort to learn from the differences.

Still, Mars squares Jupiter today, which can rev us up, possibly convincing us we can do more or take on more than is possible. There can be “much ado about nothing.”

This tense Mars-Jupiter transit brings hot-headed, dynamic energy to the day. We tend to overdo or jump into action too hastily. We’re easily riled up, enthusiastic, or excited under this influence. We can be excited about our prospects but perhaps too hasty, counting our chickens before they hatch, putting money into a venture that needs further review, or overestimating what we (or the world) can do.

We should watch for haughtiness or making too much of a matter that doesn’t deserve so much attention. We may be so focused on what we want to do that we lose sight of what is possible. A feeling of urgency may lead to coming on stronger than we intend.

However, if we use common sense, this is a good time to stretch our imaginations and entertain new possibilities. We can consider new ideas, but it’s best to wait on launches and commitments.

Today’s Sagittarius Moon can reinforce some of the over-the-top energy, but its trine to Mars helps somewhat for channeling our energies productively. The mood is right for enjoyable activities and pastimes. There can be a lot of playfulness, warmth, and enthusiasm at this time.

With the Sagittarius Moon, we’re curious, spontaneous, and ready for adventure. Anything that breaks the routine is appealing now. We’re seeking out experience and meaning, and the Moon-Mars trine encourages our enterprising side.

The Moon is void from 5:34 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mars), until the Moon enters Capricorn the next day, Tuesday, May 5th, at 3:06 PM EDT.
