Astrology highlights for the week of May 22, 2022:

 

00:49 – The theme of this week is "the deep"! We are coming off the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse. Did you have some realizations about your relationship with resources, money, self-worth, power, or intimacy? Remember that pressure makes the diamond.

 

01:58 – 3 big things are happening this week: First, we have a Pisces Last Quarter (LQ) Moon, which could be very emotional. Perhaps you may find yourself remembering what was lost with the Scorpio eclipse. Also, Celeste offers a little lesson on the Lunar Phase Families! The last aspect is a conjunction with Mars. Think about how this LQ Moon relates to these dates: Feb 23, 2020, Nov 21, 2020, and Aug 22, 2021.

 

07:06 – Second, the Sun (a spotlight) and Mercury (how we think and communicate) are on fixed star Alcyone, said to be insightful and brilliant. However, there may be a struggle with the dark side of human nature. Mercury is also conjunct Sisyphus, who was punished by Zeus and had to push a rock up a hill for eternity, only to have it roll back down, over and over.

 

09:52 – Lastly, Mars enters Aries, so we may get some drive and confidence to move forward!

 

10:58 – On Sunday, the word of the day is EMOTIONAL. The Moon enters Pisces (8:49 am PT), and its last aspect before changing signs is a conjunction with Mars in Pisces, so watch out for acting out of emotion. Mars in Pisces is also sextile Pluto at 28 Capricorn. Finally, Mercury retrograde (Rx) reenters Taurus.

 

12:09 – Monday's theme is COLLABORATION. The Sun in Gemini sextiles Jupiter at 2 Aries, so it's an excellent day for focusing on the vision, thinking big, and new ideas. Also, Mercury Rx sextiles Mars at 29 Pisces – don't gossip!

 

13:38 –Tuesday's word is DISCIPLINE. Venus in Aries sextiles Saturn at 25 Aquarius – perhaps whistle while you work, and close a deal? The Moon also enters Aries at 2:39pm PT, and Mars enters Aries two hours later, where it's at home.

 

15:18 – Wednesday's focus is CONFIDENCE. Don't be ruthless, as this is the first full day of Mars in Aries. Also, Mercury Rx trines Pluto Rx at 28 Cap. Also, Venus in Aries is semisquare Juno in Pisces, the asteroid of marriage and partnerships. Don't fight with your loved ones today, because there is break-up energy here, with Mars semisquare Uranus tomorrow.

 

16:21 – Thursday's theme is TUG OF WAR. The Moon, Venus, and Mars are in Aries, all squaring Pluto – you may feel extra feisty, so try to be kind. Also, Venus in Aries squares Pluto Rx, which may bring unfortunate financial news. The Moon enters Taurus at 11:22 pm; this is a Balsamic Moon, so slow down and release.

 

17:14 – On Friday, the word is RELAX. It's Venus's Day! Take it slow; the sky is quiet.

 

17:37 – On Saturday, the focus is ENJOYMENT. There is a Taurus Moon, and Venus enters Taurus! It is a great day to feel alive and vital. Also, Mars joins Jupiter in Aries – use this energy for passion, and avoid arguing!
