We have a Total Lunar Eclipse which also happens to be a Super Moon on Wednesday, May 26th. Also this week, Saturn stations Retrograde on May 23rd. Welcome to Eclipse season.

On Thursday/Friday, May 13th/14th, Jupiter entered its own domain of Pisces. It will remain here through the end of July, retrograde back to Aquarius, and then re-enter Pisces again at the end of the year. Jupiter takes on the role of intuitive, pathfinder, counsel and teacher while traveling here. Strong in its own sign, it brings beneficence and abundance where he falls in our charts.

The New Moon in Taurus is a gentle and beneficent New Moon, yet also compellingly effective for seeding new intentions, and promoting new initiatives. Do not underestimate this Moon that gracefully ushers us into Eclipse season. The month of May this year is deceptively calm at its beguiling near shore, but potentially tempestuous as we dive deeper into the latter part of the month.

Happy Beltane! Along with the usual celebration of the renewal of the Spring Time season here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are also addressing the necessity for world wide systemic change. This is now a more potent time of transition due to Uranus transiting through the sign of Taurus. This week the Sun in Taurus will enter into the degrees of the Saturn in Aquarius/Uranus in Taurus square, asking us all to consider our relationship, or our resistance, to change.

The Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26th (or the 27th, depending on where you are located), is a Super Moon, meaning that it will appear a little larger and therefore more spectacular than usual. When you look at all of the conditions surrounding this Full Moon, there’s no telling what secrets are going to be exposed and/or revealed.

Each year we look longingly and with anticipation to the verdant quietude of Taurus season, which currently taunts us by lurking just around the corner. However, for the past so many years Taurus has had a rather unruly house guest rearranging all the furniture and unceremoniously upending our lives these past so many years. And he’s not planning on leaving any time soon.

The New Moon in Aries is always invested with vital energy, but with sextiles to Mars and Jupiter this Moon is even more so.

With a questionable Mars/Neptune square, and Mercury joining Sun, Venus and Chiron in Aries, we are all going to be reacquainting ourselves with our Chironic wounds this week, while also being given tools to heal them, once and for all, if we so choose. And intertwined in all this are some of the most remarkable gifts we could ever receive.

There is a Full Moon this weekend on Sunday, March 28th at 8º Libra 18’. With an exact opposition to Chiron and Venus, both closely conjunct the Sun, it is shining a light on our wounds. Some that we thought safely tucked away in a box so long ago. Yet out of that same box, interlaid with all those wounds, are some of our greatest gifts.

The Vernal Equinox occurs at the Aries Ingress, the first degree of the first sign of the western zodiac. Electric and vibrant, Aries is a sign of rebirth and renewal. Welcome to the Astrological New Year.
