Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, pragmatic, status-oriented Capricorn all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings a need for structure and planning; when you add the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation will become crucial.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do”
Monday at 7:31am EDT, Venus changes signs from independent, fast-paced Aries to sensual, steady Taurus, where she will journey until May 23rd.
For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine, and sensuality.
“Simple and natural” is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we’d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feel especially comforting.
Monday late morning/early afternoon, we have an opportunity to focus on what’s subtle & essential and bring a sense of flow to our long-term goals or plans.
We are invited to practice a gentler, more intuitive approach, to go within, get in touch with our inner divinity, and bring peace and inner knowingness to our long-term commitments.
Ask yourself: Could I trust my inner knowing (or intuition) 5% more than I have previously? What spiritual practices could support me on this journey inward?
What resonates with my inner core? What is realistic and practical? What practices are sustainable for the long haul? What am I being asked to give up, so I can have a stronger connection to my inner guidance? (Moon in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in Pisces, exact at 11:28am EDT)
Monday evening, we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations.
As best as you can, make space for looking into some alternative exercise programs or holistic approaches to your personal projects and current long-term commitments. Compassion is key! (Moon in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 6:49pm EDT)
Monday late evening, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value to the world. We are better able to connect to anything that involves a long-term commitment.
We perhaps might also implement revolutionary business practices or government programs that support our values and make life tangibly more enjoyable. (Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus, exact at 9:49pm EDT)
