As we move towards the May 12^th Scorpio full moon, Saturn inches closer and closer to the end of Pisces, as it gets ready to cross into Aries in a couple of weeks.  Saturn hasn’t been in Aries since the mid 90’s, so this is a significant transition that we hope moves us from overwhelm into action.  Mercury enters Taurus on the 10^th and on the full moon makes an angle to Pluto. Be careful about communication on this full moon: the Mercury -Pluto angle might make you want to clam up and repress but the Scorpio moon could give you a sharp edge when you do express yourself. Right after the full moon Venus and Mars catch up to each other in Aries and they move in tandem for two weeks starting on the 13^th.  This is a passionate and active combination, great for shared effort and collaboration.  By the 16^th the Taurus Sun lands on top of Uranus and spends a good few days there, bringing tension, excitement, the unexpected.

Or all of the above!  Dealing with it requires disciplined practices –creative, spiritual and healthful, no ifs ands or buts about it. The Gemini new moon arrives on the 26^th, carrying the influence of both the  Venus-Mars and Saturn-Neptune conjunctions.  You will be very busy, moving shared agendas with others of like mind.  Mercury in Gemini pairs up with the Sun by the 29^th and through the end of the month, facilitating communication and the sharing of ideas.  You will get a lot accomplished!
