Your Weekend Astrology

Saturday

The Moon is in Aquarius today. The Moon trines Venus in Gemini in the afternoon. It is a great day to socialize, network and connect with friends and family. However, there is a last quarter Moon today as well. So, we are asked to think about the seeds we have planted in our lives thus far. Notice their growth. Notice the wheat from the chaff. Make discerning choices and decisions from that observation. We are entering the darkening of the Moon, which can be an invitation to reflect and meditate on what needs to change and transform in your life in preparing for the next New Moon this month (more on that in tomorrow’s blog).

As the Moon trines Venus in Gemini today and the Moon goes into Her darkening phase, there is an invitation to think about our sense of belonging. Where do you belong? Who is your tribe? Are you a lone wolf or part of pack? I think of the ocean and how each drop of water belongs in the sea. Each drop is individual and yet part of the whole. In the same way, we are alone and yet together. Notice your connections. Notice the ways you connect to the world around you. Notice the ways you receive and give Love. Notice your sense of belonging.

There is a powerful quote from Rumi, “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” Again, I imagine the moments we feel like a small drop in the sea…alone or disconnected…and we become aware that what needs to change is our perspective. We can change our perspective. We can remove the mental or emotional barrier. We can open our eyes and hearts, and see. There is no separation. You are never alone. We are one. One single ocean of many, many Souls. An entire Universe connected by a single Force. And when we connect to that deep understanding…the drop surrenders to the ocean completely, and we become one with Source. Then, we see. That is the greater opportunity of the trine with Venus today, to remove the barriers in our awareness that keep us from the experience of Universal Love and Peace. You already belong. There is nothing no do. Nowhere to be. But right where you are and let yourself be not just a wave in the sea, but the ocean itself.

Sunday

Happy Mother’s Day! The Moon enters Pisces in the mid-afternoon and there is a vibe change. The Moon in Pisces is gentle, empathetic, sensitive and intuitive. It is a dreamy Moon. We may feel ourselves drifting in thought or going with the flow. Swim with the current and see what happens. However, the Moon in Pisces squares Uranus in Gemini. Something unexpected may happen. A change in plans. A change in perspective. A surprise. An abrupt ending, message or conversation. Stay connected to your inner wisdom, so your intuition is accessible. Stay grounded. See things for what they are not what you want them to be.

The Sun in Taurus sextiles Jupiter in Cancer in the evening, and it’s a great energy to express our love to our Mothers, or to Mother our own selves. The Sun in Taurus teaches us to value people, places and things that matter to us. I have many clients who have lost their Mothers. I have learned from them to value by own Mother. Every special moment you share is meaningful and won’t be repeated again. Enjoy her. Value her. And know that wherever she is, she is thinking of you. True Love continues. It never ends. It is Eternal. And if you are a Mother (Even a Pet mommy) enjoy your children. It is a gift to be given a Soul to cherish. I am a doggie mommy. I cherish every little moment with my little one…moments that change and shift and will never come again. I have learned in my work with those that have crossed to the other side, that in the end Love is what matters. We don’t take anything with us when we die, but the Love we gave and the Love we received. So, this Sunday…focus on what matters most to you. Find what that is and expand it in your life.
