Friday 5/2

A Pisces moon opposes Mars this a.m. Use those conflict resolution skills! Creation or destruction, you decide.

Saturday 5/3

Moon moves into Aries at 7:59 a.m. Today will be a good day to get lots done.

Sunday 5/4

Moon is conjunct Saturn at 8:06 a.m. Make your lists and check them twice; remember, Mercury is retrograde! Our fleet footed friend stumbles backwards into Aries and squares Neptune tonight. So go slow, be careful, and don't take it personally.

Monday 5/5

Aries moon conjunct Mercury, square Neptune, and moves into Taurus by 10 a.m. I'd go back to sleep if I were you. But if you do have to get up, beware Coyote.

Tuesday 5/6

New moon at 1:47 p.m. will rejuvenate. The Sabian symbol for 17 degrees Taurus is about letting go of the past and using the energy of the present moment, the inescapable now, to face our lives.

Wednesday 5/7

A luxurious morning with Moon conjunct Venus at 1:35 a.m. Moon will trine Neptune at 1:15 p.m. We may be a little confused but she'll ease on into Gemini at 1:21 p.m., when all answers will be revealed. (Don't I wish!)

Sunday 5/11

Cancer moon all day. Take care of yourself; remember, the Goddess loves you.

Leo moon trines Saturn at 11:24 a.m. Having fun at work? Working hard at having fun? Create your reality.

Wednesday 5/14

First quarter moon at 3:55 a.m., then she's v.o.c. 'till 4:43 p.m. when she enters Virgo. In other words, it could be a scattered, self indulgent day (it's up to you to fight it or not) and a grounded, productive evening.

Thursday 5/15

Virgo moon squares Pluto and Venus in early a.m. Can we honor fun, spirituality, and hard work as different sides of the same coin?

Monday 5/26

Moon conjunct Neptune at 8 a.m., then she'll move into Aquarius at 8:20 a.m. You may not need that quadruple mocha after all!

Tuesday 5/27

Aquarius moon all day. Life seems to be clipping along, except for a little problem between Mars and Jupiter this afternoon. Their quarrel is over the practical application of tried and true methods versus the upheaval of all limitations. Maybe we can help them see the value of both.

Tuesday 6/3

This a.m.'s Taurus moon helps to broaden our emotional perspective. Venus has us confused as to what we really want, just when we thought we knew. Then Venus shifts gears at 9:18 p.m. when she enters Cancer, and the Moon moves into Gemini at 9:55 p.m., giving us all a chance to compose that syrupy sweet love poetry we've been meaning to write.
