From May 1st to the 5th comfort comes at a cost, but is necessary.
We can’t help but rev the engine, but we are not engaging the gears because it isn’t time to move forward. Thoughts jump to and fro, but our mind serves us best if we can relax it, and just touch the ground with our hands to stay calm.
1st – Wednesday – Venus Square Pluto, Jupiter Parallel Uranus –
Echoes of days past provide reflection, but also grist for the mill. We aren’t passive recipients of thought waves. We are active participants in rapid changes in our own world, but also in the larger global atmosphere. Choices we make have an effect on others beyond what we see at the moment. To be our better self is to do our part.
2nd – Thursday – Pluto turns Retrograde –
Our impulse is to be proactive. After all, there are things to be done. If we don’t do what is needed, who will? Still, at some core level, we see the future effects of our actions out of the corner of our eye. Balance between our immediate self-interest and other people’s needs seems out of reach. It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
3rd – Friday – Mars Sextile Pluto – Right-sizing is the tone of the day.
We are energized and can take some major steps forward. The future looks different than what we were expecting. Channeling our energy in the most practical way is to follow the path of least resistance. And magically, this turns out to be a new exploration.
4th – Saturday – Checking our reflection on other people, and the environment in general, gives us perspective.
We can be confused, but we can also tune into the higher meaning of our lives. Insight comes later, now is for drinking in the cosmic glory of the moment.
5th – Sunday – Exuberance powers our steps.
Is our enthusiasm justified? The pensive aura of yesterday has evaporated. What we confront today is both unexplored territory and renewed interest in our given work. Lingering resentments and wounded memories can keep our energy from being fully engaged. Self-reflection has its place, but doubt works against us; let’s face it, the world is hard enough without getting in our own way.
