Planetary Activity

May 24: Mars in Aries

May 28: Venus in Taurus

Best Days: While there are other days during this time frame that are fine, these are the best of the bunch. What do I mean by the best? The energy is flowing, the moon isn't void and there's a greater likelihood for happy and/or productive outcomes.

Best Avoided: The energies on these days aren't favorable for new ventures or any activity where you want or need a definite result. If you must schedule something, you may have to think on your feet, or there may be a need for patience or flexibility.

Notable Aspects

May 23: Sun sextile Jupiter • Mercury Rx sextile Mars

You may feel that luck is on your side, and that could in fact be true because today's energy suggests that an opportunity is likely to come your way. It also suggests that it could come quickly, or alternatively, it may require a quick decision on your part. That being said, Mercury is currently retrograde, which means it's possible that you may not have all the details, so be certain to do your due diligence regarding any offers or opportunities

May 24: Venus sextile Saturn

Provided you're mindful of Mercury retrograde and the need for clear communications, today's influence is a fortunate one for discussions concerning romantic and/or financial expectations. The ease energy of this aspect suggests that both parties will be open to making compromises because they want to please each other. If a new relationship begins under this transit, it's possible that one partner will be decidedly older, mature or more established than the other. On a different note, this influence also favors business relationships and can inspire sound financial judgment.

May 25: Mercury Rx trine Pluto

Today's influence is usually very helpful if you need to learn something quickly, think on your feet or perform work that requires focus and attention to detail. Since Mercury is retrograde, an excellent use of this influence would be to review or revise a current projects or perhaps revive a former one.

May 27: Venus square Pluto

Personal relationships are likely to feel intense today. If there are any unresolved issues, especially connected to jealousy or finances, they're likely to rear their head today. If both parties are honest and don't resort to guilt or manipulation (and are mindful of the need for clear communications with Mercury Rx), this influence offers an opportunity to clear the air and transform the relationship into a much healthier and happier one.

May 29: Mars conjunct Jupiter

This high-energy influence can be very favorable for taking bold steps and/or launching new endeavors. However, if you pull the trigger too soon, a premature debut could just as easily bring a big flop. Since Mercury is retrograde, it might be wiser to do a "soft launch" so you can see how it goes and make any necessary revisions before you open the doors to everyone.
