Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo until 3:40pm EDT. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness…
So, hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can.
Monday at 9:03am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 6.5 hours, until 3:40pm EDT. We may feel pulled in two very different directions during this intuitive time.
On the one hand, we experience a need to connect with our inner child energy (creative self-expressions and joy); on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value in others and ourselves (which informs our self-worth); do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until late afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 3:40pm EDT, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Thursday early morning, turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.
We are generous with our time and services and love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.
Monday early afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 1:21pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday night (May 3rd/4th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 6th).
This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism — we share what’s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.
This connection also allows an expansion from stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo.
This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and expanding our perspectives. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more “philosophical” and open to learning.
As with any opportunity, we have to “take” it — it requires we take action. What could you do to instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is a new mental process asking to be explored? Are you ready to expand your mind? Your thinking?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-24 degrees of Aries, Gemini, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
