First of all, we're deep into Taurus season, and the Aquarius moon is reaching 3rd Quarter square in fated way. You might have some kind of obstacle or challenge, probably emotionally or about circumstances, related to the material world; something practical, regarding what you want and need.
Perhaps we've been too fix and narrow about something, now we are being challenged to step outside the box and have long term vision/objectives about the situation. Also might be trying to hold on to that buzz energy of the last week when it's time to let it go. There's already been a monthly peek of energy, can't hold onto whatever that was for you, forever. The energy is changing and the world continues to turn. Energy moves through cycles. Some level of acceptance and going within, grinding it out for a while might be required for a bit, before the next highlights arrive. New events are on the way soon!
Venus square Neptune (May 7)
The thing is, the ruler of Taurus (Venus) is currently square Neptune, which will probably make this 3rd Qrt moon not feel so bad. It's easy to see past what you would rather not deal with it. It's a little fishy for communications, relationships, socially and financially. It's one of those times that i'm not going to believe what people are saying and doing right now. They might be confused, they might be telling stories, little white lies, fudging the details, wishful thinking, or just seeing or saying whatever they want. Maybe they don't want to hurt someone, or they don't realize the bs type of energy this is, and under its spell, like everyone else at the moment. It's nothing serious, just one day transit. It's kind of sweet desires and over indulgent which the moon aligns well with today, offering those escapes of delight. However, Mercury is square Pluto so there has been some obsessive thinking, worry, seriousness, intensity, power struggles in communications, or just minor moments of intensity on the mind. With Gem Venus square Neptune It's like saying and doing two different things. This is just temp energy tho, f it, you might as well indulge, no? Or you can display Discipline! haha, i'm just messing with you. Do what you got to do. Art, movies, music, fantasy, indulging in pleasure, choosing both options instead of one - whatever - enjoy. Even though people want hardcore truth right now, Venus square Neptune makes today the day to escape it all, in some sort of a way, no matter how insignificant. The escape only lasts one day/night. Use it while you can. If you're reading this on Tues or after, it's too late, get serious and focused! If you're couscous and creative - great, use Monday for a boost to your artsy side, just careful of confusion in relationships or money matters.
Sun opp Jupiter
Sun opp Jupiter adds to magnifying the Scorpio/Taurus general energy next couple days, including some intensity and strong will. Money stuff might come up. There might be a focus on this years power struggles with people too, including the use and abuse of power. This will manifest in many different ways. Perhaps in the media, "me too type stuff". It can involve sexuality, gender war type stuff, work, power and authority issues that get highlighted with someone in your life that adds perspective, more understanding, knowledge, etc. Basically, you can learn from something significant in your circumstances next couple days; perhaps something that was under the surface, not clear, hidden, a lesson, etc. There might be a focus to integrate some of these lessons of this past year, turning a corner in progress in a sense, perhaps regarding resources, or something. Only caution is making something out to be bigger than it is if any conflicts should arise. The moon is suggesting indulging in that Aquarius chill pill and intellectualize some of those feelings that come up.
Saturn inconjunct North Node
This suggests fated adjustments were needed and karmicly made that affects long term stuff, knowingly or unknowingly. Compromise, adjustments, adapting, thinking of long term goals, plans, and so on. What we want might be very different then the grind, obligations, commitments and so on, doing what you have to now for future gains, in some kind of context. Make those needed adjustments for your future!
Mars square final degrees of Cap, slowing down for station late June
As the moon wanes this next week the energy still gets very intense as Mars in Cap builds square with Mercury and Uranus changing signs. I'm sure more war news arrives, or aggressive events. And in your everyday life, the energy will be trying to change by the Taurus new moon mid month, so some intense effort/struggle/energy of what you're doing is likely. Possible conflicts. This is a very big change of energy coming as Uranus leaves Aries and enters Taurus with Mars square! Uranus is a slow transit that had its way with the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Cap) for years and now the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) get to play with lightning for several years. This is rare. This is big intense financial news coming as well. Big news of natural disasters i would imagine. But that's already starting with Hawaii, etc, and other events are likely too as this energy builds.
The Taurus Revolution and a fight for expanded resources, globally and personally
Your Taurus house (area of life) is facing revolution. This next week might have some instability and or strong wills with earth moving moments, symbolically or otherwise that kicks this energy into gear. That next Taurus new moon is a good time to finally make a commitment to getting what you want for your life, which isnt going to happen by doing the same thing you've already been doing. When it comes to what you want and need that you don't have in the context of materialism, values, resources, safety and security, plus good ol fashion comforts, it's time to burn the old system down and truly go after what you want out of life. You'll feel the push if these energies align with your chart. This is a long process though, this is only the very beginning of a new 7 year phase in some area of your life, depending on your personal chart. We've all been individualized this past 7 years. Now we need to update values, and essential needs, create a new material world.
Sun builds trine to Pluto for a week or so plus is in new moon chart
Sun trine Pluto gives us determination, power and will later this week into second half of month for our objectives. This continues the power and intensity theme that sun opp Jupiter is stirring up with this week's 3rd Q moon. People will start getting more assertive, independent and rebellious, especially as Mercury gets closer to Uranus. Mars thru final degrees of Cap Sq Uranus/Mercury will be pushing to accomplish something, so something new can start. Sun trine Pluto offers that possibility to kick ass and take names. Being more secretive, private and evasive is likely too. More war like conflict as well.
Be careful of possessiveness, obsessiveness, stubbornness, narrow focus, jealousy, misuse of power, manipulation, sexual tension and all that shadow type stuff. Otherwise, looks to be exciting new phase of life that's been a long time coming, with lots of power and strong will available to achieve what we need and want at this point in our life. Earth moving moments are bound to happen this year. This is only the beginning.
A focus on resources seem to be a big part of this weeks energy. Enjoy today's escape if you have the opportunity!
Good luck, enjoy that new moon mid month, and take care.
