The Week Ahead: May 13-19, 2024

Lunar Phases

Wednesday, May 15, 11:48 UT - First Quarter Moon, 25°08’ Leo

The key phrases for the First Quarter lunar phase are “take action,” and “build new structures to support our intentions.” A flair for the dramatic, with much “go big or go home” energy. We need to be sure we don’t overdo it.

Sunday, May 19, 14:55 UT - Gibbous Moon, 14°06’ Libra

The key phrases for the Gibbous lunar phase are “tweak and adjust as needed,” and “put more energy and effort into our intentions.” We may be on the receiving end of harsh criticism and hostility. Don’t over-react.

Void of Course Moon

Monday, May 13, 09:13 UT (Cancer) - 10:36 UT (Leo)

Wednesday, May 15, 16:41 UT (Leo) - 21:33 UT (Virgo)

Saturday, May 18, 09:09 UT (Virgo) - 10:23 UT (Libra)

Sunday, May 19, 15:48 UT (Libra) - Monday, May 20, 22:34 (UT)

Almost 29 hours!

Retrograde/Direct/Etc.

Pre-retrograde shadow: Ceres/Capricorn (until Wednesday the 15th), Saturn/Pisces

Retrograde: Ceres/Capricorn (starting Wednesday the 15th), Pallas Athene/Sagittarius-Scorpio, Pluto/Aquarius

Post-retrograde shadow: Mercury/Aries (until Monday the 13th), Juno/Virgo

Transiting Ceres stations retrograde on Wednesday, May 15, 05:36 UT, at 21°33’ Capricorn. Time to reconsider and reevaluate the family/tribe, nurturing, agriculture, etc.

Ingresses

Wednesday, May 15, 17:05 UT - transiting Mercury enters Taurus

Favoring practical, resourceful, and realistic thought processes.

Thursday, May 16, 17:32 UT - transiting Pallas Athene retrogrades back into Scorpio

Relentless self-examination; crucial psychological evaluation.

Et Cetera

There is one Opportunity Period this week: Monday, May 13, 04:56 UT to 10:36 UT. “A good time to try something new and break out of the routine, aided by the Sun-Uranus conjunction.”

Beware that long-ass void Moon over Sunday and Monday.

Next week, there will be three (3) ingresses into Gemini: the Sun on Monday the 20th, Venus on Thursday the 23rd, and Jupiter on Saturday the 25th. If stability is more to your liking, enjoy this final week of it!!

(Sorry this is so short: I have a migraine for Mother’s Day. 🙄)

(ETA Pluto/Aquarius to the “Retrograde” list. Told you I have a headache!)

Transiting Ceres stations retrograde

Timeline (current events in bold)

Thursday, February 29, 07:44 UT - transiting Ceres enters pre-retrograde shadow, 7°29’ Capricorn

Wednesday, May 15, 05:36 UT - transiting Ceres stations retrograde, 21°33’ Capricorn

Monday, August 26, 07:39 UT - transiting Ceres stations direct, 7°29’ Capricorn

Monday, November 11, 22:43 UT - transiting Ceres exits post-retrograde shadow, 21°33’ Capricorn

Caveat: this probably won’t have much of an impact on you, personally, unless Ceres is prominent in your chart. (What might that look like? Ceres closely in aspect with the Sun, the Moon, &/or an angle; possibly strong Virgo &/or 6th House energy.)

You hate to see this happen, just as the Northern hemisphere growing season gets underway. But humanity can’t learn any other way than the hard way, I suppose.

We need to look at all of Ceres’ areas:

Procreative sexuality, parenting, children, family

Child and elder care, nurturing professions

Agriculture, gardening, growing cycles, food

Concern for domestic animals

…and consider where we are

too focused on outward achievement at the expense of the inner self

too much emphasis on control and manipulation; opportunism, self-seeking

pessimistic, melancholy, repressed

confirmity, rigidity, lack of imagination

Xx

Give the May aspects more time to manifest - Ceres is moving very slowly. In fact it’s impossible for me not to consider these first aspects as a group:

Thursday, May 16 -

Ceres Rx/Capricorn square Chiron/Aries, 21°32’

Ceres Rx/Capricorn trine Venus/Taurus, 21°32’

Ceres Rx/Capricorn square Mars/Aries, 21°01’

Ceres Rx/Capricorn opposite Vesta/Cancer, 20°56’

Ceres Rx/Capricorn trine Mercury/Taurus, 20°55’

The pieces highlighted in red show the main deal here: a transiting Cardinal sign t-square, with both Mars and Chiron in Aries aggravating the Ceres-Vesta opposition. Familial/tribal wounds, and our anger about them, are at the core of our Ceres Rx problems. The trines from Venus and Mercury soothe us. Try not to rush to solutions, or let ego and vanity get in the way.

The rest of the aspects, on the other hand, will be felt a few days on either side of the date given:

Wednesday, June 12 - Ceres Rx/Capricorn sextile Saturn/Pisces, 19°10’. Accepting responsibility; taking more of an authoritative role. We’re able to work hard at it.

Tuesday, June 25 - Wednesday, June 26:

Ceres Rx/Capricorn opposite Mercury/Cancer, 16°44’

Ceres Rx/Capricorn trine Juno/Virgo, 16°31’

The first of a pair of “easy oppositions” - here, the arguments of Ceres opposite Mercury find creative, practical solutions via Juno. Mutually nurturing partnerships featuring communication! This is also a good time for therapy.

Saturday, June 29 - Sunday, June 30:

Ceres Rx/Capricorn opposite Venus/Cancer, 15°44’

Ceres Rx/Capricorn trine Mars/Taurus, 15°37’

This “easy opposition” is very, very, very fertile. If you don’t want to become a parent, you’re probably best off abstaining. The relationship tension of the opposition finds release through Mars - work on being confident and self-reliant.

Friday, July 5 - Ceres Rx/Capricorn opposite Sun/Cancer, 14°25’. Ego; not being treated like an authority angers us. And yet we don’t much appreciate other people bossing us around!

Sunday, August 11 - Ceres Rx/Capricorn trine Venus/Virgo, 8°07’. By this point Ceres will be almost stationary and about (in a couple of weeks) to turn direct. This is a very sweet, helpful conclusion - we love our families and show it in practical, useful ways.

Transiting Mercury enters Taurus

Wednesday, May 15 - Monday, June 3, 2024

Not quite three weeks - Mercury is back to “lickety-split” mode, except it is lickety-split for Taurus. Which is a bit faster than plodding.

How it looks in Mercury’s “areas:”

Learning - we want practical knowledge, not a lot of theoretical stuff. Since this is final exam time in US academia, we take a steady pace through those tests.

Thinking and reasoning - slowly slowly slowly the Mercury/Taurus makes up its mind. And once it’s made up, it stays there.

Communication - Taureans are known for having beautiful voices; we can express ourselves with simplicity and harmony. Also not known for using many words.

The first week or so, when we have a five-planet pile up in Taurus (Sun, Merc, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus), our mental processes may feel thick and sluggish.

Once the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter all move into Gemini, though - weirdly, that will feel a little calmer than we’d expect, thanks to Mercury - the ruler of Gemini - being in Taurus.

Give a day or so on each side:

Friday, May 17 - Mercury/Taurus square Pluto Rx/Aquarius, 2°03’. Something nasty we can’t quite wrap our heads around. Maybe some mental stagnation to shake off. Or we could be morbidly obsessed with something.

Tuesday, May 21 - Mercury/Taurus trine Juno/Virgo, 8°49’. Enhanced communication between partners. Learning practical things about (helping) disadvantaged groups of people.

Monday, May 27 - Mercury/Taurus sextile Saturn/Pisces, 18°33’. Words of wisdom! If we want to really understand something, this is going to help us with that.

Wednesday, May 29:

Mercury/Taurus trine Ceres Rx/Capricorn, 20°55’

Mercury/Taurus sextile Vesta/Cancer, 20°59’

Here Mercury is basically interceding between the two ends of a Ceres-Vesta opposition. It may want both of them to just shut tf up and leave it in peace - better use would be mediation and negotiation, pointing out where both “sides” agree and working from there.

Thursday, May 30 - Friday, May 31:

Mercury/Taurus conjunct Uranus/Taurus, 24°07’

Mercury/Taurus opposite Pallas Athene Rx/Scorpio, 25°30’

Choices. Do we want to be honest with ourselves and everyone else, or do we want to be comfortable? We may have to face something pretty repugnant.

Sunday, June 2 - Mercury/Taurus sextile Neptune/Pisces, 29°42’. Ending on a creative note - given the Taurus and Pisces affinity for “The Arts,” there is potential for some poetic self-expression.

Sun in Taurus ♉️🌎 Moon in Leo ♌️🔥

It’s an interesting day with Leo’s energies driving the moon. Our hearts are feeling generous, seeking love and connection. Leo Moons tend to bring out our inner magnetism, child like wonder and optimism, even in the lowest of times.

The Leo Moon squares Venus in Taurus pulling at our heart strings, increasing our desires for love and pleasure. For those without a romantic connection, it can create feelings of loneliness or longing. Whether you do or not, this transit can have us feeling overindulgent and a little dramatic as well. Use the Leo energy here to just have fun and connect with others in a carefree way.

The Leo Moon will also trine Chiron in Aries. This energy helps us heal emotional wounds allowing us to explore new ways of relating to others. Don’t be surprised if you hear from souls in your life in need of some compassion or nurturing. Maybe you’ll seek that out for yourself. Either way, it’s a day for a little self discovery or emotional validation. A time for really good conversations with those closest to your heart.

The Sun and Uranus are still holding strong in their conjunction which means unexpected surprises are just around the corner. Let your emotions and intuition be your guide today. It could lead towards emotional revelation and restoration.
