This week the Moon waxes its way toward Full (May 16th), 3 planets change signs and we’re treated to a lovely set of conjunctions. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter spend most of the week conjoined in late Aries. This rather pleasant stellium condenses the hard lessons of the last month and a half into the future’s promising prospects. You should be able to catch the trio in the pre-dawn sky. Early in the week, Mars (the 11th) leaves Aries for the fertile fields of Taurus, officially ending the 40ish days and nights of planets in Aries that began on April 1st. Mars is followed out of Aries by both Mercury and Venus, who exit the excitable sign on Sunday the 15th, just before next week’s Full Moon in Scorpio on the 16th.
This is a transitional week, with the pile-up in Aries giving way to a smaller, but still substantial pile-up in Taurus. Look for one last burst of excitement as seedlings sprout in fields of cooling magma.
Horoscopes are not a real chart reading by an experienced astrologer. However, they are fun and can be reasonably accurate. In addition to referring to your Sun sign, read your from Ascendant and Moon if you know them. If you don’t, find out. I’m a long time fan of the free chart generation software at astro.com.
