Astrology highlights for the week of May 1st:

 

00:51 – Celeste opens with astrology in action, with a reflection on yesterday’s eclipse and how Twitter was eclipsed by Elon Musk!

 

03:23 – If you want to learn more about what the current eclipses mean for you by zodiac sign, check out Celeste's Snipfeed!

 

03:58 – This week’s this theme is, “The Power of the Pivot” for three reasons: the Sun will meet Uranus by conjunction and parallel; Pluto stations retrograde (power dynamics); and Mars is conjunct fixed star Archnernar (change through crisis and rapid endings). How is the power of the pivot playing out for you this week?

 

05:28 – On Sunday, the word of the day is “sensuality.” We have a Moon in Taurus, so enjoy the little things and simple pleasures. Also, Venus sextiles Pluto, offering the opportunity to transform the structure of relationships. Finally, the Sun parallels fixed star Sualocin, aka the dophin star: Be playful!

 

06:54 – Monday’s key word is “focus.” With the Moon in Gemini reporting to Mercury also in the sign of the twins: How can you communicate with clarity? And head’s up: Mercury will go retrograde on May 10, and we are now in shadow period… the shenanigans may begin in earnest! Venus also moves in to Aries today, so people may be more firey about what they desire. And Mars semisquares Pluto, so tensions could run high.

 

08:48 – Tuesday’s word of the day is “passion”! Jupiter sextiles Pluto, offering the potential for feeling positive about your potential for world domination. Use your power wisely: Pluto is retrograde. Mars is also conjunct fixed star Archnernar (15 Pisces) so we may see change through crisis and rapid endings.

 

09:33 – On Wednesday, the theme is “excitement.” Mars in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus, so get a great idea and take action (but don’t be reckless with this energy)! The Moon enters Cancer, so if emotions feel heavy, take care of yourself.

 

11:00 – Thursday’s word is “breakthrough,” as the Sun meets Uranus at 14 Taurus, on a world point. Also, Mercury in Gemini sextiles Venus in Aries, making it a great day for friendly banter and witty repartee.

 

12:39 – Friday brings the theme “steady,” and the Moon is still in Cancer. Take it slow, and take care.

 

12:59 – Yay! Saturday’s word of the day is “play,” as the Sun in Taurus sextiles Mars at 16 Pisces. The Moon is in Leo today – fun!
