Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius, Pisces, VoC: May 5, 0:05am – 2:08am UTC
Prominent Mode: Fixed
Prominent Element: Air, Earth
Prominent Aspect: Sextile
Retrogrades: Pluto Rx, Juno Rx
It’s an excellent day for marketing, communications, and contracts, as long as you feel good about your choices and aren’t dealing with internalized tension.
Today’s Moon in Aquarius makes quite a few aspects, including to Mercury, Saturn, Juno, and Ceres. As it hits each of the planets before going void of course and into Pisces, feelings may be all over the place, resulting in confusion, overwhelm, or fatigue.
Taking time out to get centered and focused allows your path forward to become clear so you can stay calm and enjoy the ride.
If you can get in touch with how you really feel about a thing, that can make your choices clear. But it may require some inner digging to become aware of how you REALLY feel. It may not be what you think!
Once you realize your emotional connection to the right choice – through self-love and self-empowerment – actions become a deeply fulfilling, even passionate experience. This is the point of calm, clarity, bliss, and infinite gratitude.
Frantic impatience turns into mindful presence.
If you have trouble reaching this state, tomorrow’s ‘shake ups’ can inspire you to get tired of the same old story in order to break out of a stubborn rut and open up to better choices.
Higher insights from an enlightened master and/or meditation can be very helpful for maintaining a state of calm tranquility and even joy, while life transitions beneath your feet.

You might feel more appreciative of social systems and agreements which allow humans to function together in a society or community.

You can flow with change because life is encouraging you to make adjustments until you land on just the right thing.
In fact, with major planetary shifts this week, along with Venus trine Pluto… something might come your way that you always loved but didn’t realize it!
It’s a very good idea to stay open to something new and allow the ground to shift beneath your feet. This may not be an easy task for grounded earth or fixed signs….
If necessary, it’s okay to grieve loss of the old. But you may find that you were ready for change anyway.
MONTHLY ASTRO
May 2021
Let Change Happen
Life changes (which began around the time of the Aries New Moon) speed up during the month of May. These are beneficial shifts happening and overall, it’s a smooth-flowing month.
ENERGIES LIGHTEN UP this month, as planets transition into Gemini.
But resistance to change can create unnecessary stress, anxiety, or panic for some people.
There’s no need to fret if you stay in flow with life’s natural, beautiful change of seasons. It may not be easy, but there are plenty of benefits if you can relax and allow organic change to take place in your life.
Growing tension from this year’s Saturn Uranus square may feel like WANTING changebut RESISTING change at the same time.
You can utilize this vital energy pattern by doing the usual operations but in a new, inspired, more authentic way. Aslo, take change SLOW in order to avoid harsh reality checks along the way.
With major planets aspecting Neptune throughout the month, watch for tendencies of escapism. If you deny the need (and desire) for change, or try to ignore changes occurring… resistance can result in missed opportunities or missing out on favorable events.
Mercury retrograde at the end of the month can play out in mental anguish or frustration concerning plans and contracts or those aforementioned reality checks due to escaping with “coping mechanisms” or delusions of fantasy.
Generally, it’s best to have contracts finalized before May 20, then stay low key until Mercury is direct around the end of June. If anxiety is an issue, consider committing to a strenuous daily workout or daily work routine, and/ora serious meditation practice.
Overall, it’s a good idea to stay clear and focused, but also relaxed. Allow life to shift and life will work out just fine. If you can stay in the game (instead of checking out) and go with the flow, you’ll be glad you did!
