Venus/Neptune Meetup, Value Updates
On May 1, Uranus in Taurus sextiles the North Node in Pisces and trines the South Node in Virgo at 26º. This is a beautiful time for making a change, or letting an unexpected opportunity help create a new way forward. We are supported now to try something new, to leave an old way of being behind, or make use of unexpectedly available materials. How can you make use of something (materials, physical item, resources, etc.) you have had for a while and can finally move the energy? We may have a clear intuitive hit on what can move and what can move on in order to improve current and future circumstances. Notice how you may be inclined to make a different choice than you might have in the past due to recent updates on values.
On May 2, Venus conjuncts Neptune at 1º Aries. Due to Venus’ recent retrograde journey, the two planets are in a conjunction series. They met on February 3, March 27, and today they meet for the final dance. Venus is the planet responsible for this recent “software upgrade” on our values, and she is testing out what she has deciphered thus far with Neptune. Venus/Neptune conjunctions deals with the realm of dreams, ideals, and fantasies. What part of the dream have we woken up from? What are we excluding from our updated visions? What is now discontinued from our desires? What behaviors, romantic ideals, and relationship patterns are we now unsubscribed from? Take a moment to notice if anything has changed since February on these topics. This day is strong for creative endeavors and artistic expression. In the sign of Aries, this conjunction will ignite passions, and draw on supporting personal and individual value upgrades we are now operating with. Let yourself flirt, play, create - follow your highest excitements and inspirations while remembering past lessons as a reference.
On May 4, Pluto stations retrograde at 3° Aquarius until October 13. Unless making harsh and direct aspects, Pluto works in the depths and almost in the background since it is so far away from Earth. However, when a planet changes directions, it pulls a lot of focus. Plutonian and Aquarian themes involving power dynamics, occult information, humanitarian causes and social justice may turn up now. Because Pluto moves so slowly, it will stay at this very same degree and minute of its station of 3° 48’ Aquarius until May 13, signaling that we are in a pocket of time where Pluto both turns the volume up on these collective themes, and draws them internal. There may be a lot of self reflection around our levels of participation in the world at large, and how to best utilize our own personal power in present circumstances. Contemplations of how to engage with the revolution. Internal compass shifts into gear as we consider future plans.
On May 5, Mercury in Aries sextiles Jupiter in Gemini at 22°. This is support for fast movement, quick thinking, and clever problem solving. This adds motivation and enthusiasm for learning new things and encourages curiosity. We may be considering future travels and explorations now. Do you have questions? Ask them. Explore answers. Negotiations are engaged. Marvel with optimism at all the possibilities.
On May 6, Venus in Aries sextiles Pluto retrograde in Aquarius at 3°. This energy has us focused on matters of the heart and supports us to deepen connections with people, places, things and ideas that we value. Intensity of feeling. What supports us and our own personal goals and well being? What groups feed us energetically with authentic confidence? What spaces keeps us bogged down? Dynamics between self and other in relationships as well as within the collective. An affinity for transformation. Shift the dynamic with relative ease today if you have been wanting to make a change in a relationship.
