Monday 5/2/2022: Sneak Peek at the Week; Venus in Aries at the Aries Point, for Starters…

Alllllllll righty then!

Thanks to all Avid Readers who ordered personalized eclipse reports. You kept me busy through the weekend, with only a few more left to prepare. Avid Reader Kay — please email me your birth data, as I do not have it on file. Thank you!

Meanwhile…

The solar eclipse and New Moon in Taurus are behind us, and we’ll find out what the former was all about around July 20th. This week, we can put the New Moon energy to good use, supported by numerous easy alignments among the planets. Don’t be evil. Here’s how it goes:

  • MONDAY: Moon enters Gemini at 6:46 AM ET, driving the next two days with a need for information and communication. At 11:05 AM ET, Moon meets up with Mercury, and you can really get the word out. ICYMI, Mercury entered Gemini on Friday night and it will hang there until May 22nd, when it re-enters Taurus. You know what that means, right? It means that Mercury will soon be turning retrograde, and you can plan for that by BACKING UP YOUR COMPUTERS AND DATABASES NOW. As of April 27th, we’re in the shadow period of the Mercury retrograde, which means that great ideas, documents, diplomatic and business deals initiated now may be subject to review and revision between May 10th and June 18th, which is how long it will take Mercury to return to 4 Gemini, which is where it will turn retrograde on May 10th.  Got that? Stay tuned for more Mercury Rx coping strategies.
  • MONDAY: At 12:10 PM Venus – which symbolizes our need for social expression – exits Pisces and enters Aries. So for the next few weeks – until May 28th – social expression may be more direct, crusading and possibly aggressive – reflecting the warrior Aries need to assert its own existence. Because the first degree of Aries is the Aries Point, we expect that Venus-related issues are likely to be prominent today. Watch for news of women, money, art, values, social expression, and Ted Cruz.
  • TUESDAY: Gemini Moon squares Mars at 10:41 AM ET, possibly sparking an argument. Find a productive use for the assertive drive. Your quest for world domination is supported by a rare harmony between Jupiter (expansion) and Pluto (power and resources), exact at 6:33 PM ET. What fresh hell will we see from the corporate Powers That Be? OTOH, there’s no reason why this cooperative energy can’t apply for the greater good. Maybe we’ll hear more about efforts to unionize, as Moon trines Saturn in groupthink Aquarius on..
  • WEDNESDAY: at 7:50 AM ET. Note your dreams upon waking, as Moon squares Neptune at 8:15 AM ET. At 11:46, put an innovative, technological spin on your action plan, reflecting the potential of Mars, as it sextiles Uranus. Around 4:36 PM ET, Moon squares Jupiter, suggesting big news, announced with exuberance. Chill during the 2 1/2 hour Moon void, and don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. At 7:05 PM Moon enters Cancer, driving the rest of the work week with a focus on emotional, home and homeland security.
  • THURSDAY: Collectively, we may be in for a surprise, reflecting the annual conjunction of the Sun and Uranus at 3:21 AM ET. The Sun refers to leaders of state and business; Uranus refers to shocks to the system, for better or worse – including rebellion, genetic mutations and seismic activity. Here are headlines from the Sun-Uranus conjunction of 2020, with other good stuff on the ongoing Saturn-Uranus square. The Cancer Moon travels through the day without connections to the other kids in the cosmic sandbox, giving us space to absorb whatever revelations are reflected by the Sun-Uranus meet-up. Upside potential is the continued easy flow of cooperation among the players on the cosmic stage, including…
  • FRIDAY: Sextiles among Mercury and Venus at 2:01 AM ET, Sun and Mars on SATURDAY at 5:47 AM ET. Communication may be effective and inspiring; action plans go off without a hitch, especially on FRIDAY as the Cancer Moon is supported by the Sun, Mars and Neptune.
  • SATURDAY: Moon makes its weekly clash with Pluto at 4:59 AM ET, then aligns with Jupiter at 6:26 AM ET. Note that Jupiter is at the verrrrrry end of Pisces, soon to enter Aries for the first of three ingresses in 2022. Remember that Pisces is about endings and planets at the verrrrry end of a sign can feel as if they are in crisis mode. Jupiter-related themes are likely to be extremely prominent over the next few days because Jupiter is not only at the end of Pisces, but it’s at the Aries Point. People whose horoscopes are affected include Edward Snowden and Alexei Navalny — off the top of my head.
  • SATURDAY: Moon enters Leo at 7:49 AM ET, bringing out your local drama queens and kings, who are only too happy take the stage, throw a party or issue a royal command. Moon in Leo needs to be loved – which makes sense when you consider that in the language of astrology, Leo rules the heart. You can make good use of the weekend’s heart-centered energy by telling someone how much they are appreciated – and loved. You may have a fine opportunity to do just that around 4:58 PM ET (Moon sextiles Mercury) or about 8:01 PM ET (Moon trines Venus).
  • SUNDAY: A disruption to the status quo may pop up around 1:41 PM ET, as Moon squares Uranus. More tension and adjustments may occur, as Moon squares the Taurus Sun at 8:21 PM ET. Neither Taurus nor Leo is known for giving an inch.

And now, the news.

With Venus at the Aries Point in a sextile with Jupiter (expansion) and Pluto (power), fashion is in focus tonight at the 2022 Met Gala. Here are the red-carpet arrivals.

Guess who has two planets and his Ascendant at the Aries Point, and thus is likely to be attracting attention this week and next, with Venus-Jupiter at the AP?  Justice Samuel Alito — and here are thoughts on his horoscope from 2020. And guess who allegedly wrote this leaked draft SCOTUS opinion that is allegedly legit?

Other Venus-Jupiter in Pisces stories from last week include:

Meanwhile, here are stories I was going to include in last week’s forecast, but I was concerned I was giving you way too much to deal with in one forecast.

Reflecting the heavy squeeze suggested by Sunday morning’s square between Mercury and Saturn, it’s interesting to learn that this is when Twitter’s board met to discuss Elon Musk’s takeover bid last weekend,Mercury sextiled Neptune at 6:37 PM ET, putting an idealistic spin on the earlier gravitas (remember this is what was anticipated in the forecast last week?). Negotiations continued into the wee hours, while the Moon was void for nearly ten hours, for gawd’s sake.

I wonder how much of the Mercury-Saturn gravitas at the start of their meeting was as a result of a letter sent to the Twitter board by 18 House Republicans, including four who were named in the preceding paragraph’s list. That letter would be taking a page out of the playbook of Viktor Orban of Hungary, who uses financial “incentives” as a way of maintaining power, explained in this write-up of Orban’s horoscope…and also in one of Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from last week.  HCR also covers how the Florida legislature, directed by Governor Ron DeSantis, passed legislation that dissolved the land use deal Disney has had since 1967, in retaliation against Disney for speaking out against DeSantis’ “Don’t Say ‘Gay'” bill.

Meanwhile, DeSantis also directed lawmakers to pass his personally-drawn redistricting map for the state, which eliminated two districts represented by Black members of Congress,  including the Val Demings (D-FL), who hopes to win Marco Rubio’s Senate seat in November.

Elsewhere, the populist party lost to the environmentalist party in Slovenia last week. It’s quite an extraordinary story, so check out that link if you don’t already know the details.

UPDATE: on VP Kamala Harris. Remember I told you that the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction affected her horoscope more than most? On the day of transiting Neptune’s first of multiple exact squares to her Ascendant, she tested positive for Covid.

These two from WaPo aren’t new, but they’re fun:

Also fun: the upside potential of challenging aspects between Mars (action, assertion) and Neptune (pixie-dust, music), as evidenced by Randy Rainbow. He has an exact Mars-Neptune opposition that also engages his super clever Mercury (in Gemini) and probably his perfection-seeking Virgo Moon. Here’s a write-up of his horoscope from a few years ago. Last week, as transiting Jupiter (expansion, publishing) made contact with his Mercury, the NYT reported this:

Randy Rainbow will never stop fighting the good fight. Here’s his most recent musical parody — a response to Ron DeSantis’ quest for world domination, which, as of today, includes the establishment of a “voter-fraud police force” that appears might report directly to him.

Right-o. That’s the news for now.

Here’s the 411 on personal consultations.

Here’s how to support this forecast if you find it worthwhile. You do find it worthwhile, don’t you?

Thank you for reading this forecast — and sharing it with your friends.

Does this Venus in Aries-red command your attention?
