Green lights. There’s a lovely line-up of aspects in the Skywatch today.

Brilliant new ideas are likely to find some folks this morning as clever Mercury meets/conjuncts innovative Uranus in the heavens at 7:22 am PDT. Meanwhile, the Moon enters home sign Cancer at 2:06 am and makes a sextile to both Mercury and Uranus at 8:13 am.

Uranus rules the truth and often inspires an unexpected reaction from others to your ideas and thinking. Clear skies follow until a creative Sun Neptune sextile appears in the Skywatch at 7:53 pm Wednesday night. This marker suggests a stellar evening for plays, concerts, spiritual work and romance.

As times change.

Stop and go. There’s a lot of static in the Skywatch this morning as the Moon squares dreamy Neptune at 5:15 am PDT followed by a very grouchy Venus Saturn square at 6:26 am.

The mood changes quickly as Luna travels on to sextile agreeable Venus at 9:35 am. Still, stay on the conservative side of things today and especially when the Moon opposes opinionated Jupiter at 2:10 pm Tuesday afternoon.

A hot spot shows up next in the heavens as the Moon meets feisty Mars at 4:50 pm which is likely to spark a temper tantrum in some folks, and a headache in others. Luna then turns Void of Course until tomorrow morning.

As times change.

Very quiet. The Moon in loquacious Gemini sails out into calm waters this morning and enjoys a day without connecting to any other planets. So this is a good day to communicate your needs and wishes and to network.

The only change in the heavens is Mercury entering earth sign Taurus this morning at 11:25 am PDT. Taurus is the money sign which means the next two weeks are stellar for handling important financial decisions and purchases. Mercury leaves Taurus and enters Gemini on May 21^st.

As times change.

Stay under the speed limit on Sunday. Caution lights are up as we have two off-center events in the Skywatch.

First, the Moon trines healing Pluto at 8:10 am PDT Sunday morning. But Luna then turns Void of Course until she enters Gemini at 8:40 pm Sunday evening. In this window of time impatient Mars lines up opposite gambler Jupiter, exact at 2:57 pm Sunday afternoon.

Oppositions can work in two ways. The positive energy in an opposition comes from both planets working with each other which could make this a home run day.

Or this opposition can spark two different points of view fighting for a solution and not being able to compromise. Your attitude will determine which way this energy works out Sunday afternoon. Clear skies follow.

As times change.

If your birthday is this week (May 5–11)

Your ruler, Venus, is on center stage in your new Solar Return, Taurus. She is in fiery Aries in this chart of your new year encouraging you to scout out new ideas, places, and people in the year ahead. However, she is in square to Saturn and Pluto in this new SR.

Translation: some folks may look like friends and people who will help you at first but could turn out to be only concerned with their own welfare. Keep the faith, Taurus, and you’ll be rewarded as Venus also makes a lovely trine to lucky Jupiter in this new SR, and that means you’ll also run into true friends and maybe true love. Give yourself a chance to be lucky in the months ahead, Taurus, and explore new opportunities and options.

A New Moon in money sign Taurus headlines the Skywatch on Saturday. Green lights are up as Luna sails out into calm seas Saturday morning.

This is a good day for buying and selling and stocking up on supplies. The New Moon also raises our energy level and is exact at 3:46 pm PDT.

A romantic Moon Neptune sextile at 11:03 pm puts a kind and compassionate vibe into evening plans.

As times change.

Low energy.  Today is the dark of the Moon, the day before a New Moon when the lunar cycle has the least energy available for all of us.  

Caution lights are up as the Moon conjuncts Mercury at 1:47 am PDT early Friday morning and then turns Void of Course until she enters favorite sign Taurus at 1:18 pm Friday afternoon.

Hold off on making important purchases and decision while the Moon is V/C. Could be a surprise around your home or office as Luna then conjuncts/meets unpredictable and rebellious Uranus in the heavens at 7:15 pm.
