Weekly Weather May 11, 2015
Think doubles of everything! You are going to have to do everything AT LEAST TWICE, maybe 4 times, as the heavens answer to a passel of Gemini energy. Just chuckle and roll with it. You do need to double check things as Mercury is also slowing, preparing for his retrograde station! Things will present themselves AS DOUBLES ~ inviting you to choose. Doubles asking you to reconsider. Doubles encouraging you to take a second look.
Mars enters Gemini ~ so our action principle has part one, part two. Doubles. Communication rules! Or indecision! Or both! Allow for possibilities. Stand in any fear you have and see if you can separate it into components. Be BRAVE!!
Venus and Mercury continue to be out of bounds this week. Out of bounds planets don’t follow the rules like the other planets do. Push the edges a bit. Be BRAVE! Ask for what you want.
“Brave” ~ Sara Bareilles
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
And since your history of silence
Won’t do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
Try to get in front of the large, supported WHOOSH of fire energy from Jupiter and Uranus in a happy, action taking, and creative trine. You have an opportunity to launch or start a number of projects until they meet up on June 22. Jupiter is inviting you to step forward in the area of life where you are supposed to express yourself. Time to shine!!Get busy! Uranus is urging you to break free of situations (or change how you behave) that feel like they are tying you down.
Jupiter and Juno get to the World Axis and expand our vision, stretches our reach and kickstarts our dreams, often bringing us a physical partner or a situation to partner with. Sometimes it just shows up as the ideal ~ the hope, the pull, the suggestion. Jupiter gets to this point once every 12 years so be ready with your list of dreams and how you want the next 12 years to shine and expand in your life! Jupiter is in orb when between 14 to 16 degrees. Juno perfects on Sunday May 17, Jupiter perfects on Tuesday, May 19. So THIS week, as the energy builds and builds is when to start being brave and asking for what you want. Venus and Mercury out of bounds help. Mars in Gemini helps. Just shout it out to the heavens! Write it down in your day planner. Sing it to the skies. Murmur it to the elves. Dance it in your heart. Dream it during your sleep.
Mercury is in his shadow for his upcoming retrograde next Monday. Mercury is going to be out of bounds in Gemini during the upcoming Mercury retrograde so we can anticipate quite a wild and wily ride. Start backing up your computer stuff NOW! As he slows to a stop, we focus more on important communications.
All week, Mars in Gemini approaches an opposition to Saturn in Sagittarius… the face to face moment of the student and teacher takes place on Friday but we realize we are at a crossroads.
Remember to focus on love. That is the only thing that is real. Below is a meditative piece on love and letting yourself be loved.
Monday’s all day void moon in Aquarius has stressful aspects of an square to the Sun in Taurus. Time to choose. Moon enters Pisces Monday night and works productively on your dream Tuesday and Wednesday. Plant good seeds! Moon enters Aries early Thursday morning and all day’s void Moon on Friday ~ Moon’s closing aspect of a conjunction and occultation with Uranus is either really good or really bad. Sudden changes that shift your life direction! Explosions! Breakthroughs! Ah-ha! Coming to consciousness. Ask. Be BRAVE! Taurus Moon on Saturday and Sunday culminates in the MOST FERTILE MOON of the year, right as Jupiter and Juno are on the world axis~ take advantage of this terrific energy to go for your dreams!
Void Moons in the Week Ahead: When the Moon is Void, it is wise to avoid making important decisions as they tend to be unrealistic, and subject to false starts, errors or unexpected hassles. Avoid being concerned with things beyond your spiritual center. It is time for subjective, spiritual and non-materialistic concerns. Kick back, let life flow, and center yourself. Connect into your essential oneness with the Universal Forces.

The New Moon has a preponderance of earth energy ~ designed to help us manifest! Taurus New Moons are the most fertile as Moon is exalted, spring is in bloom, and life is abundant. The Moon is quite fixed so be cautious not to be too stubborn! Mercury, Venus, Ceres and Athena are all out of bounds so expect a bit of a wild and exciting ride. Out of bounds planets can be either terrific or terrible ~ as they are not following the rules of normal (whatever that is) behavior. Sun and Moon are on Algol ~ a difficult star that is Medusa’s eye. Expect news of people being beheaded or piles of corpses. There is a possibility to lose your head emotionally too! Pluto is the apex of a Finger of God with Jupiter and Juno on the world axis and Mercury stationing to go retrograde. It is most important to focus on the positive ways things can manifest. Any major shifts in your life are designed to help move you forward. Trust the process, proceed with an open heart and with love as the goal or out come. Jupiter in Leo is inviting you to live your best life. This is where free will comes in~ we can’t control what happens to us but we can control how we react to it and what we do about it!
The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon in Taurus is AN OLD INDIAN WOMAN SELLING BEADS AND TRINKETS
Lynda Hill’s interpretation of the Image is:
Commentary: ‘An Old Indian Woman’ is ‘Selling Beads and Trinkets’. She probably spends a great deal of her time selling these small products of her culture for very little reward or real monetary return. The modern, and somewhat foreign, world often shows little regard and often doesn’t respect the crafts and skills that are well respected within the tribe. Despite this lack of appreciation, the ‘Old Indian Woman’ can still enjoy a deep understanding of her self worth and the dignity of her identity and tribal origins. However, she may be capable of much more: that she is reduced to ‘Selling Beads and Trinkets’ is a measure of the poor treatment this world gives to those who are less fortunate, older, or who have fewer resources for making a living.
Oracle: Do not underestimate yourself or restrict yourself to what you think others believe you are capable of. Everybody has talents and abilities, including you. You may be placing limitations on your capabilities and it is it these very limitations that can truly reveal to you hidden talents and skills that are sometimes taken for granted. Having a belief in what you’re doing will bring rewards at the end of the day. Sometimes it is necessary to do things that seem below your true station in life in order to survive, but true survival begins in your heart and your belief in yourself. Positive affirmations are useful at this time – have faith in yourself and the products of your culture. Don’t wait for passers-by to stop and pay attention to you or what you have to offer. Regardless of their actual monetary value, these ‘Beads and Trinkets’, whatever they may be, can be beautiful, worthwhile and useful souvenirs to both yourself and others.
Keywords: Older, wiser elements of society making offerings to the younger, less integrated. Small, but worthy products. Adapting to changing conditions, particularly monetary or financial. Working hard for small returns and rewards. Battling against the odds. Selling the products of one’s culture. Artifacts. Jewelry. Handicrafts. Retailing. Supplying the populace with beautiful things. Markets and stalls. Patience. Bartering and bargaining.
The Caution: Looking down on those that seem less fortunate. Loss of culture and traditional duties. Menial jobs. Devaluing things that deserve more or overvaluing junk. Feeling that you or your society has nothing to offer. Waiting for others to validate your worth. Bickering over money.
Accomplishment of purpose is better than making a profit. Hausa Proverb
There are very honest people who do not think that they have had a bargain unless they have cheated a merchant. Anatole France
Perhaps middle age is, or should be, a period of shedding shells: the shell of ambition, the shell of material accumulations and possessions, and the shell of the ego. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Moon day Monday May 11, 2015 Moon goes void Square to Sun at 06:36:22 am EDT. Moon is Void in Aquarius all day and early evening. Moon Enters Pisces at 10:54:23 pm EDT. Mars enters Gemini until June 24 and goes out of bounds on June 7, 2015. Suddenly things seem lighter and full of more options. It can be hard to choose ~ so do both. One or the other will NOT work ~ so no worries about over committing. Sun’s aspect with Chiron invites you to undertake a healing journey around what you want to build. Sun is at the Capricorn Decant of Taurus ~ it wants to AMOUNT to something. Often, we build things or do work that serves to help heal our wounds. Today you can be inspired by a great idea that does just that. Move toward it! Mars and Apollon have a discussion about how when you are stubborn (or they are stubborn), it acts to alienate you from what you actually want. Pay attention to where you or they are being stubborn. Does it serve you? If not, try a different approach that actually REVERSES the current approach. Like martial artists use the energy coming at them to their own benefit, switch the current. Or just stop ~ what would happen if you simply stopped?
Mars’s day Tuesday May 12, 2015 Moon is in Pisces and goes void Sextile the Taurus Sun making the next two days very productive, full of flow, insight and fertile. Prepare all sorts of things that express yourself and what/where you want to grow your life. Pisces is the dream stage. Next Monday’s Taurus moon is the most fertile moon of the year so we are in a good position to push things forward. Mars and Pluto have a fight this morning because they can. You might find you or the other are in the mood to argue! Mars in Gemini likes to argue to hear the words and express the contrasting side! Pluto is NOT in the mood but will definitely take Mars up on it! Better uses of the energy are to apply it to the world and your goals. You’ll power through things! Venus has an aspect of brilliance to the Goddess of Discord so you understand HOW discord is such a motivating factor for so many folks. With a giant whoosh of energy, you are able to harness it. Way cool! Sun’s brilliant quintile aspect to Neptune invites you to start working on your dream and MORE importantly, show you how easy it would be. So, IF you won the lottery tomorrow and never had to work for pay again, what would you do with your one precious life? Start doing that dream today, in bits and pieces, snuck into the corners and cubbyholes of your life. Every dream needs us working on it. Just go do it! Clear out your home, body and office to support the next chapter of life as Jupiter rolls across the World Axis over the next few days. Uranus is inconjunct to the Black Moon Lillith so the feminine is NOT in the mood to be subservient right now.
Wednesday Mercury’s day May 13, 2015 Moon is in Pisces and goes void Sextile the Sun at 12:56:04 pm EDT. Moon is void Wednesday afternoon, evening and night. Moon has productive aspects today to get things moving! Dreams are full of wild imagery and stories! Write them down! The heavens are talking to you! Sun’s biquintile to Pallas starts a ruckus as he realizes something profound. It WAS always right before you! Now that you see it, wow! Moon’s sextile to the Sun plants a creative, productive and juicy new story. Clear out things that don’t support healing your body, home or soul. Sun’s argument with Saturn at the close of day points out where, even if you are trying hard, you can still run into a road block. See if you can jump over it. If not, be BRAVE and speak your truth! No more keeping silent when you need to be brave! Sure it might FEEL crabby but that is perfectly okay~ you aren’t going to be silent any more.
Jupiter’s Day Thursday May 14, 2015 Moon enters Aries at 01:14:34 am EDT. Moon goes void joined to Uranus. Uranus and Moon combine to make the next two days very active and full of surprises. All the Gemini energy combined with the Out of Bounds planets and stationing Mercury retrograde ask you to double check everything as there are possibilities for unusual errors. Moon stimulates Venus out of bounds presenting arguments or discussions around/about money. Lots of old issues or situations get wrapped up today as you have an inordinate amount of energy. Old patterns get broken or adjusted. Good for nurturing or changing the paradigm of how you take care of yourself. Balsamic release energy as we approach the New Moon on Monday… give yourself permission to end things and let things go.
Venus’ Day Friday May 15, 2015 Moon is in Aries and goes void joined to Uranus at 08:04:41 am EDT. Moon is void Friday morning, afternoon and evening. Even though the Moon is out of Bounds, you can get lots accomplished and finished up. Mars opposing Saturn pushes each of us to stretch our limits a bit. Dreams invite and present solutions to situations that need to change. Take action to move things along. You can connect to situations that inspire or take you to new people who will become part of your journey. Pay attention to who you meet these next few days as they invite a deep creativity. Venus ends a romantic or financial situation that has been unclear or not moving along. Venus has a gift of brilliance with Saturn and argues with the traditional way of doing things ~ allow for change and evolution. Mars and Jupiter combine this afternoon to present a new idea that seems farfetched but actually is quite brilliant if you do it. Sun’s union with Sedna invites us to switch our relationship to being put down or disrespected. We aren’t up for it any more ~ at least not the way we used to be. Shift your focus to what you want to do and what is calling you. Gently turn away.
Saturn’s Day Saturday May 9, 2015 Moon Enters Taurus at 03:03:19 am EDT. Moon goes void joined to the Sun forming a New Moon making this a profound releasing and beginning energy over the next two days. As the balsamic moon lets go of things and possessions we no longer need, we create all sorts of space for what we DO want and are starting to create. Taurus New Moon, which takes place after Saturday and Sunday invites an abundant energy into our lives. The blocks are gone. We are full steam ahead in releasing and creating mode. For everything we release, a new creation is started. Mercury’s relationship to Ceres explains that the new requires a space where the old moves aside. Sun’s adjusting aspect to Cupido marks the end of the journey. Venus squares the nodes of fate inviting us to choose how we want to proceed. Venus’ trine to Neptune sings to our heart about our next journey. Her semi-square to Sedna ends a situation where we suffered because of who we were. That’s done. Ended. Finished. Next! Jupiter unites with Juno on the World axis ~ we get a new partner! We get married to our next dream! We invest in it fully! Go for it!
Sun’s Day Sunday May 17, 2015 Moon is in Taurus on May 16, 2015 at 03:03:19 am EDT. Moon goes void joined to the Sun forming a New Moon that is the most creative in the year. The Finger of God with Pluto as the apex and Jupiter/Juno and Mercury as legs gets triggered today inviting us to migrate to the point of evolution. Think about where you want to expand. Mercury’s station Out of Bounds in Gemini as a leg of the Finger offers us a choice as well as dreams or ideas or suggestions about where we can go next. Pay attention to what appears in your life over the next few days as the heavens is attempting to point you in the new direction for your life. Neptune’s brilliant aspect to Pallas offers a strategy for you to take. Mars semi-square to Uranus stresses you (or the other guy) out but always is inspiring. Fear and anxiety often FEEL the same even as they represent different hopes. Notice all anxiety or fear today as they encourage you to move in that new directiong. You are in charge of the speed of the movement! Partnerships with people who have worked out similar situations offer unexpected solutions to problems. Partner productively with your new (or revised) vision. Mercury’s station offers a startling level of clarity. Embrace what you see even if you don’t know quite how to work with it.
