Friday
Friday is ruled by Venus. Venus is in Aries. Both the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Libra on this day are ruled by Venus in Aries. Venus is asking us to focus on the self. The self is priority right now. Of course, it depends how you define “the self.” Does the “self” include your Soul? Your family? Your community? The World? Venus is asking us to focus on the Self.
The Sun in Taurus is asking us to define what and who we value. The Sun is asking us to focus on what matters most to us. What do you truly treasure? Where is the gold in your life? The Moon in Libra today helps us focus on how we relate and connect to others. Since Venus in Aries, the focus is specifically on finding balance between others and ourselves. Notice what is out of harmony in your life and relationships. This day provides an opportunity for insight and clarity as the Moon in Libra trines Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter is helping to expand our vision, restore our faith, hope and trust in the Universe. Jupiter is helping the mind see the bigger picture and explore what is possible beyond the boundaries of what is. Both Benefics, Venus and Jupiter, are active on this day helping us remain positive and hopeful about the future at individual level and at a global level.
From a more practical perspective, it’s a great day to socialize and network. Particularly in the evening. If you are a night owl, you can benefit from interactions with others today. If you are a morning person, welcome interaction with your Angels as you dream. Jupiter helps us connect to the Divine, and in Gemini downloads of insights are possible as we sleep.
Saturday
Saturday is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is in Pisces getting ready to change into the first sign of the Zodiac. We are coming full circle with spiritual lessons that began in 2023. Notice what you have learned about yourself, your life and others since then. Notice the Virgo/Pisces axis in your Natal Chart and the placements activated during that period. We are graduating. Notice what is leaving your life and what is getting ready to enter it. Life is a dance between endings and beginnings.
Saturn will enter Aries on May 24, 2025, and remain there until September 1, 2025, before retrograding back into Pisces. It will then re-enter Aries on February 14, 2026, and stay there until April 12, 2028. Change is coming. Get ready. Saturn changing from water to fire is a big deal and will shifts things around in our lives. The shift is already happening. This year marks big endings and beginnings. Notice what placements you have in Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) as they will feel the energetic shift the most.
Saturn is the planet that stands at the edge of the visible and invisible world. Saturn holds the threshold between Matter and Spirit. Saturn rules time, death and reality. Saturn helps us get to the heart of the matter in life. Saturn helps us focus on what truly matters at the end of life. Think for a moment about that last breath, what and who will matter most to you then?
The morning on Saturday in the Eastern time zone, begins with Mercury entering the sign of Taurus. The mind is focused on what it values. The mind is focused on security, stability, practical matters and concrete results. Taurus is patient until you awaken the bull. Taurus likes sensual pleasures, luxury and comfort. Mercury in Taurus can help us focus on what gives us pleasure and joy. Mercury in Taurus wants to feel safe. Notice what helps you feel safe, secure and comforted. Taurus teaches us about the things and people we value.
Mercury also rules commerce, communication, media, travel and education. Watch the news for people seeking security, reliability, and stability in these areas. Mercury in Taurus preserves. People are holding back their money and resources. Since Venus, the ruler of Mercury, is in Aries, more people are focused on what they can do individually and independently in their lives to improve them. There is a focus on what the self needs in order to feel secure and safe. As Saturn enters Aries, more people will create structures and systems that are independent from authority/government rules and regulations.
The danger in Mercury in Taurus is that we can become too materialistic and too security oriented. We can hold on stubbornly to our ideas and ways of doing things. Practice flexibility of the mind. Mercury in Taurus can help us focus on beauty, art and sensuality. We can focus on what gives us pleasure and delight. We become more practical, productive and patient. Mercury in Taurus is getting us ready for the upcoming Full Moon in Scorpio, where issues around intimacy, relationships, desires and finances will be activated. The Moon enters Scorpio today and the intensity begins to build up as the Moon approaches Full Phase on Monday.
Sunday
Sunday is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is in Taurus preparing to oppose the Moon in Scorpio on Monday and we are feeling the intensity increase within us or around us. Scorpio is a fixed water sign. Think about the thickness and heaviness of water – that’s Scorpio. It can hold deep and intense emotions under the surface of its waters. Scorpios are said to be secretive for this same reason, because they are able to contain what they hold. This Full Moon will be showing us what is under the surface of our being. Emotions, thoughts and incomplete energies may come to surface to be dealt with. This may occur through dreams, conversations or interactions with others or simply with yourself. Full Moon bring to light what needs to be seen, explored and dealt with. Pay attention to your Taurus and Scorpio sectors in your Natal chart as these hold the key to the manifestation of these planetary energies in your life.
About Taurus and Scorpio: in preparation for Monday’s Full Moon
Both teach us about passion. Both teach us about intimacy, sensuality and sexuality. What are you passionate about? Both teach us about what we hold dear. What or who do you hold dear? And are you expressing that? What is the current state of your intimate life and what needs to change or be transformed?
Both Taurus and Scorpio teach us about finances (both gains and debts). Notice the state of your financial life. What are you investing your time and resources on? What needs to be improved on? We can see how this Full Moon is playing out in the financial markets of the entire world. We are being asked to get our act together as a collective when it comes to financial matters worldwide.
The Taurus-Scorpio axis in astrology explores the interplay between stability and transformation, focusing on themes of ownership, control, and the human experience of both creation and destruction. Taurus, as a grounded earth sign, values possessions, security, and the pleasures of the material world, while Scorpio, as a water sign, delves into the depths of emotions, desires, and transformative experiences.
Taurus teaches us about materialism, sensual pleasures, tradition, building a secure life and enjoying the comforts of the material world. Both Taurus and Scorpio are stubborn, persistent, and determined in achieving their goals. Both like control and power. Whereas Taurus is resistant to change, Scorpio will transform like the phoenix if it needs to. Both are capable of deep, secretive emotions and desires. They have great poker faces. Both are intense, magnetic and unwilling to compromise.
About the Full Moon on Monday
The Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio are triggering Uranus in Taurus on the fixed star Algol. Algol is symbolic of losing one’s head. We can expect the unexpected with this star. Algol's name, meaning "the Demon's Head" connects it to the head of Medusa in Greek mythology. Medusa was said to turn those who looked at her into stone. Algol speaks of power over others as well as our innate ability to stand in our own power. Medusa held snakes as a crown on her head. Snakes represent sexuality as well as power. What is your relationship with both at this time in your life?
Algol is also linked to feminine power. What is your relationship to feminine power? At its worst Algol has been associated in Astrology potential accidents, suffering, pain, death and tragedy. Not an easy frequency. However, it may simply be felt as more intensity in a particular situation in your life, or it may show at its worst. Either way be mindful this Full Moon of what arises in your life.
The Full Moon’s connection to Algol, may show us how we have lost our heads on a particular situation and how we may recover our power back by noticing how we are giving our power away to situations or people. This can be a powerful time to focus on your understanding of the qualities of Taurus, Scorpio and Algol as a way to meditate on the teachings available to the collective at this time. It is also important to be emotionally balanced and astute. The energies of this Full Moon will be active up to the next lunation. Tread with care.
During this Full Moon it is possible to experience deep, intense emotions. Pay attention to how you feel, and others feel. Know when its time to surrender and let go. Emotional connections with others can be intense and passionate during this period. Use both mind and heart. Be wise. Be mindful of anything under the surface or elephants in the room. Deal with what needs to be dealt with in a mindful, tactful, constructive and compassionate way.
This Full Moon will teach us about the power of transformation. Scorpio is the sign of the Phoenix. A bird capable of causing its own death (figuratively speaking) and rebirthing itself brand new. Somewhere in our lives we are letting go, shedding old skin and figuring out what is valuable while also letting go of what no longer serves us. Somewhere in your life you are regaining your power. Somewhere in your life you have the opportunity to rise again like Phoenix from the ashes. Take the opportunity. Be reborn. It’s time.
