Morning Star: Daily Astrology for May 2, 2014

Moon is Void of Course all day today in Gemini. Meanwhile, the Moon's ruler (Mercury, still in Taurus) perfects in opposition to Saturn at 9 PM EDT (20 degrees Taurus/Scorpio). This sets a rather somber mood for the day.


Today is not the day for initiating anything. It is more of a day of assimilation and working to wrap up loose ends. However, with Mercury in opposition to Saturn, be careful about what you say. Anything uttered irresponsibly will likely will be pointed out to you by a Saturn figure. Or, you just might find that you are Saturn figure being dour and corrective to someone else.

This is an aspect for serious minds and well thought out plans. And, it brings up inklings of weighing security against comfort. If you are a writer, you may experience a bit of writer's block for a few days.

Shortly after the Mercury/Saturn opposition perfects, Venus crosses the Aries point. Mars Rx in Libra makes this quick passage of Venus through Aries very interesting to me. Venus in Aries goes after what it wants. Aries, however, is not Venus' most comfortable spot. But, hey...isn't Mars in the same boat? Perhaps Venus can teach Mars Rx in Libra a few things about moving toward what you want.

I am interested to see how this plays out. Venus and Mars Rx will meet via opposition at 9 degrees Aries/Libra on May 11th. However, the opposition begins waxing today and builds until we get to that point. Then, shortly after, on the evening of the 19th, Mars stations direct.
Venus is a busy girl in Aries. This passage is quick but eventful. Here is a list from her social calendar of appointments she has lined up for the month:

May 2: Venus enters Aries @ 9:22 PM EDT
May 11: Venus opposes Mars Rx 5:27 AM @ 9 30 Aries/Libra
May 14: Venus squares Pluto 1:47 PM @ 13 22 Aries/Capricorn
May 15: Venus conjunct Uranus 7:54 PM @ 14 49 Aries
May 18: Venus square Jupiter 11:31 AM @ 17 52 Aries/Cancer
May 28: Venus enters Taurus 9:46 PM

Of course, the actions of Venus will likely affect our money. But, our relationships will go through change too. Venus in Aries is not the patient sort. She wants what she wants when she wants it and has no qualms about initiating the action to go and get it. Venus in Aries is very attractive to our other folks who have Venus in an Fire sign. Meanwhile, our planets in fire will catch Venus via trine.

I can also see folks becoming twitterpated during this transit. Venus has Spring Fever. Love is certainly in the air. But, love and relationships, as much as they are in the forefront now, will definitely be in the firing line of being altered or changed.

Venus to Pluto brings up the shadow side of our past love life and relationship with money. We will encounter our unpaid debts to others in a not so pleasant way. In relationships, this can bring up past relationship issues, dig up old loves and old partnerships. It can also foster a very strong sense of attraction and give you an opportunity to transform the way you look at love and money.
Standard caution, asking for transformation is about like asking for patience. The road to the end product can be quite taxing and rather bumpy.

Venus to Uranus is independent and quite outspoken. Venus in Aries is forthright enough. In aspect to Uranus (particularly via conjunction) some relationships may reach their blow up point around the time this aspect perfects. Expenses crop up out of nowhere. At the same time, money may flow toward you in a surprising manner. Either way, Venus will be in NO MOOD to put up with restrictions and  will rebel against being controlled or restricted. Unusual partnerships may be formed. Intelligence becomes wildly attractive as do rebels and social activists.

Venus to Jupiter can be overly indulgent, lazy or CRAZY GENEROUS. Don't give away the farm. But, you can enjoy the "heart expandedness" that accompanies Venus/Jupiter. I see large gestures in the name of love here.

As for today, though, plan. Try to avoid mentally beating yourself up. Watch out for butting heads with Saturn figures or being an overly dour Saturn figure yourself. Tension is here. But, it will pass.
