Morning Star: Daily Astrology for May 5, 2014

This morning we wake up to a Void Cancer Moon having made her last aspect to Mercury (sextile) at 4:46 AM. This brings harmony between our emotions and our minds allowing us to express what we are feeling solidly and accurately.

 
Moon enters Leo (RAAAAAAAAAAAWR!) at 2 PM. From here, she makes lovely aspects to most of the sky with the exception of a square to Saturn and inconjunct to both Neptune and Pluto (creating a Yod with Moon at the apex on the 6th).

There is the matter of the First Quarter Moon on the 6th pitting the Lion against the Bull. The fire from Leo is squelched a bit between the square to Saturn (occurring on the morning of the 7th) and the First Quarter Moon (occurring at 11 PM on the 6th). Neither Scorpio nor Taurus care about the spotlight or performing. Leo, however, needs to be heard and recognized. That's where the tension lies.
 
We may portray our emotions outright and dramatically only to be met with either physical forces that say, “Don't you think you should tone it down a bit?” or intrinsic ones.
With the Full Moon coming in (Taurus/Scorpio) which also aspects Saturn, I'd say we are in for a week of prequels.

Fixed signs are illustrated in the Wheel of Fortune
The "missing leg" of the fixed T-square with
Saturn, Sun, Moon is Aquarius
Best way to deal with the fixed square is to express your emotions in a pure and creative way. Scream through a medium (I'm talking an art medium here, not the lady who talks to spirits).
Create something tangible (Taurus likes that) and make sure its connected to something more deeply rooted than just surface emotions (Scorpio adores that) to ease the pressure. There is no room for juvenile, selfish and dramatic emotions in our current sky. People have seen enough drama...thank you, very much. Unless you are charging admission to your emotional show, opt for something a bit more productive and grounded to do with that energy.

Today, though, Moon trines Venus in Aries at around 9 PM. Moon/Venus is usually fairly relaxed and a perhaps a bit lazy. Happening in fire signs, there could be a few sparks of motivation flying around instead of so much complacency.

It is a very good day for anything active or creative...perhaps even a bit daring. That is if you can talk yourself off the couch (or out of the pasture, as the case may be).
