The exciting but rather stormy astrological weather of the past month has given you much food for thought, especially since Mercury has been in retrograde. As Mercury straightens out, your learning process is highlighted this month, and you are keenly aware of your thought patterns and ways of communicating. At the timing of the recent Taurus New Moon from the last week of April, forming the basis for the current lunation cycle, there was a telling planetary alignment in the conjunction between revolutionary Uranus and mental Mercury, which was at that time in the depth of its retrograde cycle. Mercury will station direct on May 3rd, about a degree from Uranus and now moving back toward him, thus remaining in close aspect with Uranus for nearly two weeks. This combination represents a further shake-up in the area of your chart concerned with values and resources, as well as your sense of security, and your finances, as you reflect on the past thirty days of the previous cycle and prepare for future reorganization. You may be possessed with new insights and intuitions about how to more skillfully operate in these areas of your life, and there could continue to be surprises cropping up in your cash flow – be they a boost or a bust. You might take heart that no matter what the course of events might bring, the medicine of Uranus is good for you in the long run, inviting you into the most brilliant expression of your authentic and soulful self.

The path of that endeavor, however, can tend to be winding and unpredictable! You do well to allow your intuition and logical mind to steer the ship together. This way, a renewed faith in the universe, and in your process, may allow you to listen deeply and humbly to what your higher Self and angel guidance is trying to send you.

The Full Moon of May 10th in Scorpio brings a peak in your process of mind expansion and higher learning. Your perspective has the potential to become more vast and spacious, and what comes with this expansion could provide clues as to the next steps in your ongoing evolution, perhaps especially in terms of your sense of belonging. What does it mean to you to belong to the human race' Or, deeper yet, to the divine consciousness of life that courses through all of existence' You may wish to meditate upon this, perhaps journaling around this theme, or having conversations with trusted allies. By these means you can begin to weave new insights into your existing beliefs and philosophy. Your ruling planet, Neptune, makes aspects to both Mars and Jupiter during this time, suggesting that you may feel motivated to tend to your home environment. Also, your intimate connections are places where you might want to go for support, exploring feelings of love, connection, and self-fulfillment. Your greatest underpinning of energetic resource, however, may lie in touching into your sense of compassion for yourself and all beings, as well as your faith in the vast ocean of love that continually supports and breathes grace into the interconnected community of life.
