Star Trend Weekly Insight — May

April 27th through May 3rd
Sunday we have meetings and discussions with others, many spontaneous and unplanned, but have a wonderful surprise to them. We continue to connect with a lot of different people as the week begins and expand into some very positive new directions as changes still seem to come into the picture. Mid-day on Tuesday we become more prone to utilizing our intuitive connections and begin to thing of many creative ideas and put them into our plans. Venus brings a new harmony into this week as Venus joins Sun and Mercury already in Taurus. Venus always has a soothing and healing essence and to have Venus move into a harmonious sign such as Taurus, we can all heave a sigh of deep relief to the changes and adjustments that have dotted the landscape of April. Thursday opens to the month of May, universally a SIX month (in numerology). The SIX brings focus to our home and work environments and requires that we adjust to the different demands and projects according to the situations and tasks at hand. Friday, Saturn turns direct and we can begin to put the stepping stones into place to accomplish what we have wanted to complete for quite some time. Mercury also moves into Gemini which gets the information rolling. So May begins with a great deal of mental and physical activity to get many parts of our life together and activated.

 

May 4th through May 10th
Monday provides new feelings and new information. We have Mercury now in information-oriented Gemini and Saturn has now turned direct. This gives us the chance to see the stepping stones out of where we have been and we can see our pathway clearer. The new information that comes in will continue to be a focus, blessing and course correction for May and June. This will impact our direction and the shifts in our passageway. The New Moon on Monday prompts us to shift our pace to the new information that is streaming into our life. We are becoming aware that a dam of information has opened up and new information is now becoming available. The events of today continue to open the doors of possibilities and give us a whole new perspective. This New Moon is in earthy Taurus, so the steadying effect is felt and is comforting and feels secure. Tuesday provides another wave of information coming from the reservoir and will continue to stream into our life and give us greater understanding of many situations. Friday Jupiter, the planet of expansion, slows down to turn retrograde. This is actually a relief of sorts because Jupiter has been stretching us beyond our comfort zone in the Capricorn-oriented sign of business, career and outer pursuits. Mars also jumps into fiery Leo, activating our passion, purpose and desire to take action.

 

May 11th through May 17th
Our energy got a major jump start on Friday (9th) from Mars jumping into fiery Leo and will join Moon also in fiery Leo on Sunday. This gets our emotions, passion and purpose fired up and ready to take on the events of this week. We will look at the tasks and projects that need to be done on Monday and the Sun-Jupiter connection provides the “humm” of a well-run day. Thursday gives us an additional social event that prompts our relationships to expand more whether in our work or home setting. Early Saturday, we begin to look at situations from a much deeper level and come to some very key and important realizations. This deeper perspective solidifies the realization of clarity and we move into next week with this vision, and a greater sense of purpose.

 

May 18th through May 24th
Our week begins with the growing insight and realizations that began on Saturday the 17th, and have brought us a new and different perspective from the information that has been streaming into our life. The Full Moon rises on Monday and we are propelled into making determinations to set new goals and a new course because of the information that has surfaced. The Full Moon is in Taurus/Scorpio yet in the last degrees as if to signal that once the Full Moon rises, it solidifies our determination and we begin to make plans to set new goals, a new course that is connected to the new information, realizations and a new sense of purpose. Tuesday and Wednesday we jump into our mode of making a list of information that has now become important and will set the coordinates of our life into action and into a new direction. Thursday we start to integrate this information into new contracts, pacts, treaties and agreements that contain resolutions for the past issues as well as the new stepping stones beyond the resolutions. This opens the door to expand our connections with people that are also part of our path beyond the resolutions and we begin to integrate with our resolutions, new pathway and our new goals.

 

May 25th through May 31st
This week provides our social setting and provides the week that begins the Mercury retrograde process. Sunday finds us amidst the Aquarius-oriented social settings with lots of people around us. Monday find both Mercury and Neptune slowing down to get ready to turn retrograde. Mercury is slowing down in the communication and information-oriented sign of Gemini. Neptune is slowing down in the humanity-oriented sign of Aquarius. Both of these signs are air signs and influence our thoughts, ideas and information we use to set our goals. Tuesday finds us feeling the influence of these two planetary slow-downs and we feel like we are walking through molasses. We feel a bit disoriented and situations seem to be problematic to walk through. By Thursday, we have regained our connection and have walked out of the molasses and can now begin to get our bearings. We have also been given new information that is prompting situations to veer into a different direction. These events will take us on the side trip of Mercury retrograde and will give us additional information that has a influence on the pathway we take through June.
