Astrology Newsletter covering major events between May 13-26, 2024

Hello & Welcome!

Today is a very special day, can you feel it? The Sun connects tightly with Uranus in the sign of stable Taurus and sensible Venus connects harmoniously by a sextile with determined Saturn in Pisces. 

The Sun-Uranus conjunction can bring a lot of excitement and energy to your daily routine, as well as a desire for freedom and independence. You may feel a strong urge to break free from any limitations or restrictions that have been holding you back. However, it's important to approach these changes with caution and a level head, as they can also bring some unexpected challenges and disruptions. With the right mindset and a willingness to adapt, this aspect can be a powerful force for positive change in your life.

Venus-Saturn sextile on the other hand, brings a practical and responsible approach to our relationships, finances, and material possessions. We may be more willing to work hard and make sacrifices to achieve our long-term goals, whether in our personal or professional life. This transit can also bring a sense of emotional maturity and a willingness to take responsibility for our actions and decisions. Overall, the Venus sextile Saturn combination can be a time for building strong and lasting relationships, achieving financial security, and taking responsibility for our emotional well-being.

After its prolonged stay in passionate Aries, Mercury finally departs and moves into stable and sensible Taurus on May 15th. When Mercury transits Taurus, we may feel a shift towards more practical and grounded thinking. Taurus is an earth sign that values stability and security, and Mercury's influence can help us to focus on practical matters such as finances, resources, and material possessions. We may be more inclined to think about our long-term goals and how we can achieve them through careful planning and hard work. This transit may also bring a slower pace to our thoughts and communication, as we take the time to consider our options before making decisions. 

As soon as Mercury enters Taurus, it will form a challenging alignment with transformative Pluto in Aquarius on May 17th. During this time, we may experience a sense of tension and power struggles in our communication and thinking. Taurus is an earth sign that values stability and security, while Pluto in Aquarius brings a transformative and intense energy to our social and intellectual lives. This transit can bring a challenging and confrontational approach to our communication, as we may feel compelled to assert our opinions and beliefs with force. We may also encounter power struggles or manipulative behavior in our interactions with others. This transit can also bring a tendency towards obsessive thinking or paranoia, as we may feel threatened by others or fear losing control. 

On May 18th Venus connects with erratic Uranus in Taurus by a conjunction, bringing a sense of excitement and unpredictability in our relationships and finances. As mentioned earlier, Taurus is an earth sign that values stability and security, while Uranus brings a sudden and innovative energy to our lives. This transit can bring unexpected changes and surprises in our relationships and finances, which can be both exhilarating and unsettling. We may feel an urge to break free from routine and explore new and unconventional ways of expressing ourselves or handling our money. This transit can also bring a heightened sense of creativity and a desire to experiment with our style and appearance. However, it is important to be mindful of impulsive behavior and to avoid taking unnecessary risks with our finances or relationships. 

Also, on that same day, we've got the Sun and Jupiter conjunction in Taurus. This transit can bring a sense of optimism and confidence in our abilities to achieve our goals, whether in our personal or professional life. We may feel a sense of abundance and generosity towards others, and may be willing to share our resources with those in need. This transit can also bring a sense of groundedness and practicality to our thinking and decision-making, as we are able to see the bigger picture and make informed choices towards achieving our long-term goals. 

On May 19th, the Sun-Neptune sextile, brings a sense of creativity, inspiration, and compassion in our lives. During this time, we may also experience a surge of creative inspiration, and may feel drawn towards artistic or spiritual pursuits. This transit can also bring a sense of compassion and empathy towards others, and we may find ourselves drawn towards charitable or humanitarian causes. 

This month’s full moon occurs on May 23rd in the sign of Sagittarius. The Full Moon in Sagittarius is a time of heightened energy and expansion. This is a time to concentrate on optimism, growth, and adventure. The energy of Sagittarius inspires us to explore new ideas, experiences, and perspectives. Nevertheless this Full Moon can also bring a sense of restlessness and a desire for change, as we desire to expand our horizons and break free from old patterns or limitations.

The ruler of this Full Moon is Jupiter, and Jupiter is conjunct Venus at 29 anaretic degree symbolising a period of luck, abundance, and growth. This conjunction may bring about opportunities for financial gain, romantic relationships, and overall expansion in life. However, it is important to be cautious of overindulgence or overspending during this time. It is also a good time to reflect on your values and priorities to ensure they align with your long-term goals.

The critical degree is the final degree of a sign, and it is said to represent a sense of urgency or crisis. This conjunction may bring about a period of growth and expansion in matters of love, relationships, finances, and creativity. It is a time to take advantage of opportunities that come your way, but also be cautious of overindulgence or overspending. It is also important to remain grounded and focused on your long-term goals to ensure that you are making the most of this powerful energy.

Jupiter, the great benefic, enters Gemini on May 25, 2024, where it will stay until June 9, 2025, bringing a period of intellectual exploration and expansion. 

The last time Jupiter was in Gemini was between June 2012, and June 2013. 

Jupiter in Gemini will bring a time of increased communication, exchange of ideas, and learning. During this period, people will be more open-minded and curious, eager to learn and share knowledge. It is an excellent time for writers, educators, and researchers, as Jupiter in Gemini will support their efforts to convey information and insights to others.

There may be an increase in international travel, cross-cultural exchange, and a greater openness to learning from different perspectives. There may also be advances in education, communication, and technology that facilitate easier and more widespread access to knowledge and information.

However, there may also be a tendency towards restlessness and scattered energy, so it will be essential to stay focused on specific goals and avoid getting sidetracked by distractions. Overall, Jupiter in Gemini will encourage us to expand our minds and embrace new ideas, leading to personal growth and intellectual development.

In the meantime, I would like to wish you a wonderful week, and I look forward to catching up with you soon.

Thank you for reading, and bye for now!
