Tip of the Week:
Jupiter in Aries as of May 10, the same day Mercury turned retrograde, is among the bigger news now, astrologically. Any planet in Aries activates something new. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac and is symbolic of the pioneer, fresh starts and initiatives and do on.
Especially when the planet in Aries is Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto, you can be sure that the ignition of new orientations will prove very noticeable. Astrology offers a golden key to gaining a broader vision and deeper understanding of the purpose, likely process, manifestation and duration that any such events imply.
Meanwhile, the first major culmination of the Solar Eclipse of April 30 culminates as the Total Lunar Eclipse. The influence of a Lunar Eclipse tends to be emotional and subjective. However, it can still manifest as outer events that effectively trigger such emotions. Scorpio Moons tend to be deeper, more powerful and transformational than any other.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You have entered a very expansive cycle, thanks to Jupiter in your sign. Mars still in Pisces until May 24 might have a dampening or delayed effect in terms of outer expressions. However, it can be used to do inner work. This implies self-observation of attitudes, self-concepts, rationalizations, justifications and so on for the sake of elevating them to a higher ground.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Between the eclipse in your sign and Jupiter in Aries, your sense of self and your general style of expression and approach are getting activated. This Lunar Eclipse will activate deep feelings regarding the ones you love. A mix of ideals and rights may also be the source of a rebellious posture to resist social pressures to conform against your will.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
A restless mood is steadily rising. Meeting new people and exploring new places is a likely response. Making a few adjustments in your attitude regarding your daily rhythms, will likely amount to you shaking things up, a bit. Some of the emphasis is on health and may include the need for more discipline. All of this is the forefront of a larger backdrop of some significant shifts and moves.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
The recent eclipse has activated involvement in new networks both in your public and professional life. These are having an influence on some of your ideals, visions and philosophies of life. Meanwhile, some excitement and possibly drama is stirring due to circumstances linked to friends and/or yours or their children.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
An activation of your overall status indicates some rather deep changes. These are woven with a host of complexities linked to the realization of dreams and ambitions. Generating creative ideas and strategies is part of the plot. Meanwhile, there is a spirit of adventure in the air to explore new horizons and cultures.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
While the impact of the solar eclipse will guide you to bring your visions, beliefs and philosophies closer to the ground of practicality and realistic thinking, Jupiter in Aries will serve to sharpen your focus. Yet, there may be a delay with this as you sort out confusions and possible miscommunication on relationship fronts.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The implications of last week’s Solar Eclipse are that much deeper for you since they occurred in your solar 8th house, that of Scorpio. This is likely to manifest as a powerful process of transformation. This is likely to include financial realities such as investments, taxes and inheritances. The Aries factor will have an expansive affect, especially socially.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Who do you love or do not and why? These and other such questions involving your most intimate relationships are an important theme that will continue for many months. This question can also apply to partners, romantic, business or otherwise, and include themes of respect. As well, the Lunar Eclipse is likely to manifest as ‘powerful’ emotional reactions.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Changes in your daily rhythm and routine are the new norm for you. This could prove quite exciting and stimulating or disruptive, or both. The latter will be your experience if you are resistant to making the changes that you need to. So, be willing and focus to make one small change is your usual approach each day.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The Solar Eclipse occurred in your solar 5th house which is symbolic of play, entertainment, creativity and children. In other words, the 5th is the fun house. At worst, it could manifest as melodrama. Yet, it will more likely inspire creative activity for the sake of beautifying your home. Yet, it could take a couple of weeks to move from planning to action.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Some big shifts and changes are shaking close to home. Major moves and sudden, unexpected turns are all quite possible. A spirit of adventure is featured but it could feel as much like an impulse to escape as to answer the call. Either way, it may feel like you are challenged to swim against the stream and, if so, do it.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Your perceptions and interpretations of the world are destined to change over the coming weeks and months. The process has already begun, but you may have to reflect to recognize it. It does include a new and steadily rising sense of ambition and drive. This will become increasingly apparent over the next few weeks.Michael O’ConnorLife Coach Astrologer
