What's in the Stars?
Monday, May 4
Moon in Virgo The moon will be void of course 3:31 pm (HST) - 11:51 on Tuesday. The moon will be in detail-oriented Virgo all day. A very energetic connection between Mars (action) and Jupiter (expansion) can really assist us with a strong desire for action, but with a tendency toward excess and possible impatience.
Virgo, being a sign that likes to get things accomplished in a focused and orderly fashion often needs a little space and alone time to remain firm in its focus and getting things done.
This day has great potential for pushing ourselves beyond the ordinary limits to accomplish very grand things. With Jupiter amplifying Mars, impatience, anger and going way over the top are about the only things that could mar this otherwise super productive day.
Affirmation for the day:
No matter what is happening around me ~ chaos, grief, anger ~ I can always trust that a feeling of gratitude will bringe me back into a moment of humility and peace.
Tuesday, May 5
Moon in Libra
Happy Cinco de Mayo. The moon moves into social Libra today. If the sometimes solitary Virgoan lunar cycle had you feeling a little isolated and lonely, today is your chance to reconnect to your friends and your relationships.
Venus~ruled Libra loves a social gathering and anything that is aesthetically pleasing. The friendly, cooperative and diplomatic Libra moon compliments a helpful connection between the Sun (ego, identity) and Saturn (rules, discipline) ~ providing a sense of order, support and grounding, offered up in an agreeable and pleasing tone.
Affirmation for the day:
Creating balance within myself and balancing that with the world of choice that surrounds me always leads to a feeling of contentment and accomplishment.
Wednesday, May 6
Moon in Libra
It's another all day Libra Moon. Libra is the archetype of the peacemaker, the diplomat, the lover and the artist. It's all about balance in all of your relationships.
While Mercury stations today and prepares for its backward journey at 7:01 pm tonight, what can you do to enhance your sense of beauty and harmony? An act as small as wearing something that makes you feel extra pretty or handsome will make you feel great! Fine and luxurious trinkets could be appealing today.
If you have the times and the means, maybe you could engage in some creative artisic pursuit, or take a stroll through a fine art gallery. You could even arrange some flowers in a vase and then give them to your lover or a friend. Allow yourself to both give and receive something today.
Affirmation for the day:
The beauty of Nature is like a colorful artist's palette. Creation is infinite.

Moon in Libra/Scorpio
The moon submerges into the deep, passionate and intense sign of Scorpio today. How fitting that the Scorpion works in tandem with the Mercury Retrograde today, encouraging us to dig deep below the surface to uncover any hidden truths and release any hidden or subconscious fears or agendas.
Pay attention today. Really try to tune in and listen to your free and unbiased inner voice of wisdom and knowing. A very harmonious and cooperating connection between the moon (our feelings), Neptune (dreams, illusions) and Pluto (transformation) could really reveal deep and powerful truths (or powerful illusions).
Often we see our own worst behaviors, compulsions and drives acted out by those closest to us. Many times, what we refuse to aknowledge in ourselves gets projected out onto others and mirrored back to us. We don't always notice that what we see is really a reflection of our own face, staring back at us. Use the Scorpio Moon and Mercury Retrograde to really examine those behaviors that we most depise in others, such as irresponsibility or lack of committment, and then ask ourselves if it is really our own denial of those qualities within ourselves that is so upsetting.
Rather than the responsibility and the initiative to realize these dysfunctions within ourselves and reach for the courage to change them, we must ask ourselves if we have unwittingly pushed the blame onto those around us.
Affirmation for the day:
In a world where there is often uncentainty, mistrust, doubt and fear, I am always assured a sense of being connected when I stand outside in Nature and tune into the life giving energy of creation that surrounds me.
Friday, May 8
Full Moon in Scorpio
The moon in full in Scorpio at 6:01 pm (HST). When the Sun and the Moon are opposite eachother in the sky...the moon appears full. This full moon shines the light on the contrast between the Taurus Sun's need for secure surroundings, a disdain for change and a desire for a peaceful existence as we are in the moment...with the Scorpio's affinity with death and the impermanence of all things, leading to inevitable re-birthing and change.
Saturn in Virgo is balancing the energies of the Sun/Moon opposition helping us to embrace change without losing everything we value. According to tradition, this current lunation cycle between the Taurus Sun and the Scorpio Full Moon is when the Buddha is said to have been born, become enlightnened and die.
Whatever astrological house has Scorpio on the cusp in your natal chart, is the place where you should be experiencing a "harvest" of some kind, based on the changes that you set into motion during the New Moon in Taurus, but even more so, from the changes you made six months ago when the New Moon was in Scorpio.
The Full Moon is a time of fulfillment. If you feel in a crisis, rather than in a time of harvest, then use the Mercury Retrograde to re-assess where things might have gone wrong. In ancient times, the cycles of one's life were initiated, nurtured, realized and finally let go of during the major lunation cycles.
I believe that the more restless and out of balance one feels during a full moon, the more out of touch and out of balance one is to their own instinctual nature.

Affirmation for the day:
The process of my life is in perfect order.
Saturday, May 9
Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius
The moon is void of course from 8:49 am (HST) - 3:49 pm. The full moon energies of passionate and penetrating Scorpio continue to permeate the cosmos for the better part of the day. For those willing to dig deeper and deeper, there is the promise of renewed re-birth, life and a newly restored order.
By 3:50 pm (HST), optimistic Sagittarius lifts us up from our inward vantage point and begs for an outward adventure into faraway lands, with an abundance of excitement and fun! The Archer is almost always ready to gallop toward greener pastures.
Affirmation for the day:
The Universe is a plentiful buffet of countless variety, spice and delectible treats ~ and, I am always hungry...
Sunday, May 10
Moon in Sagittarius
Happy Mother's Day! Not much in the way of a bright and happy day and a chance to celebrate your mom, the maternal feminine or your own inner mom.
Without the warm and nurturing energies of the mother archetype, our world would be devoid of the much needed softer feminine side.
Let the Sagittarius moon fill your day with a sense of faith, optimism and adventure. And, by all means, today it's okay to over-indulge and go over the top. Enjoy!
Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
Affirmation for the day:
We are the Mother.
We are Love.
We are the Father.
We are One.
 Live your truth and open to the authentic living flow of of your being. Until next week...
