Unpredictable Uranus is close to the Sun and Moon this Full Moon—surprises are likely, so, whatever seems to come out of nowhere at you, just ride through it. Being able to detach from any crap that comes up this week is key to feeling better—Uranus rules detachment, so use this planet’s super-power for yourself. Also—be open to the unexpected: while shocks, and surprises, are often unwelcome, with this lunation there is the potential for true “Eureka” moments.
If you are a Fixed Sign—Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio—you are more likely to feel the surprising nature of this full moon. Thinking Mercury in fixed, status-quo Taurus is retrograde—when Mercury moves backwards, we are reviewing and revisiting things. The communication planet is moving backwards in conservative Taurus—challenging manipulative Pluto in rebellious Aquarius: thoughts and words are intense when it comes to towing the line, something Taurus likes to do—Aquarius, not so much. With this full moon, repressed and controlled feelings are likely to erupt in speech.
Meanwhile…Lovey-dovey Venus in gets-bored-easily Gemini squares delusional, idealistic Neptune in dreamy Pisces during this Full Moon. What does this mean? Good question—because neither planet knows!! We want to act on our ideals, and believe what we’re seeing. Maybe what you think is super important is actually a lot of foggy nonsense—this energy makes it easy to be confused, or fooled, especially fooling yourself. That said, ideals are strong during these days—and Uranus is all about breakthroughs, and since that energy is the dominant theme of this lunation, some will say screw it and finally take action about an idealistic belief or situation.
Gemini and Pisces are Mutable signs, as are Sagittarius and Virgo—If you are a Mutable Sign, and your birthday is the last week of your sign, you are very impacted by this square and may feel unusually tired, dissipated, out of it… or just generally confused in the days around this Full Moon.
Avoid gambling and speculation in the days around the full moon is a good idea, with Venus (money) squaring illusion (Neptune).
Finally, the Cardinal signs of Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Aries are not exempt—this Full Moon, fighting Mars in moody Cancer is challenging expansive Jupiter in me-first Aries: in astrology, whenever Cancer and Aries square each other, it’s emotionally fraught. Mars being the action planet stirs up watery feelings and sensitive issues and wants to cuddle; trailblazing, selfish Aries slams a few doors on its way out to its next conquest. If you are a cardinal sign and your birthday is the last week of your sign, you may feel more tearful around this Full Moon. A good antidote to the exuberance of Mars Cancer/Jupiter Aries transits is some hard physical labor, work or exercise—it’s the only way to make Mars tired and thus less likely to make waves.
This Full Moon is an eclipse—so it’s a more powerful Full Moon.
May is going to deliver some very powerful astrology around mi-month—See you then to write about the very potent Jupiter-Pluto square and the New Moon and Mercury going direct. Peace out.
