ASTROLOGICAL WEATHER Week of May 10 - 16, 2026
We open the week under the last exhale of the waning MOON, and there is something right about that. Something that asks us to be still for just a moment longer before the new arrives. The blossom is still on the trees. The evenings are holding their warmth a little later each day. TAURUS season is at its fullest and most generous, and the earth is doing what it has always done growing quietly, without asking permission, without needing to be understood. This is the week the sky mirrors that.
On Sunday, as we step into the week, the SUN in TAURUS reaches toward JUPITER in a sextile, and the quality of it is unmistakable, a kind of inner opening, as though a window has been lifted in a room that had grown slightly close. This is not grand or dramatic. It is the felt sense of possibility becoming available again. Of perspective widening. Of something in us remembering that the world is larger and more generous than our worries would have us believe. In AYURVEDA this is the quality of SATTVA moving through PITTA, clarity softening the fire of effort into something more luminous and receptive. Begin the week here, in this opening. It is a gift worth receiving consciously.
Beneath the week's warmth, PLUTO moves retrograde through AQUARIUS, as it has since May 6. This is not a turbulent energy. It is a deep and interior one. PLUTO retrograde asks us to turn the transformational gaze inward rather than outward, to examine what we are still carrying from the structures and belief systems we have outgrown. It works slowly and below the surface, like water finding its way through stone. We may not feel it directly, but it colours the week with a quiet invitation to be honest with ourselves about what has already ended, even if we have not yet released it.
VESTA enters ARIES on May 13, and there is something worth pausing for in that. VESTA is the asteroid of sacred devotion, of the inner flame tended with discipline and love. In ARIES, that devotion turns toward the self, toward the right to exist with full presence and desire. She arrives quietly, but she matters. She asks what we consider holy in our own becoming. And then, midweek, the sky does something rare and beautiful.
On May 14, MERCURY meets the SUN in TAURUS in a CAZIMI. The word comes from Arabic, meaning in the heart, and that is precisely what it is MERCURY entering the very heart of the SUN, bathed in its light, renewed and clarified and sent forward into a new cycle. A CAZIMI is one of the most luminous moments in any MERCURY cycle. The mind, for a breath, is not separate from the source. Thought and life force meet. What was murky becomes clear. What was circling finally lands.
In TAURUS, this arrives the way all TAURUS knowing arrives through the body, through the senses, through the felt sense of something becoming true rather than simply being thought. The CAZIMI in TAURUS takes us more deeply into our lives. Ideas that arise now have roots. Visions surface with texture and weight. This is a day for writing slowly, for sitting with questions, letting the mind move at the pace of the earth beneath us. Insight is the gift. Action can wait.
On May 16, two significant movements arrive together, and the day carries a layered and profound quality. MARS meets CHIRON in a conjunction in ARIES, and we feel it somewhere older. MARS is passion and desire and the sovereign right to move toward what calls us. CHIRON is the wounded healer, the place where the oldest hurt becomes the deepest wisdom. CHIRON has been travelling through ARIES since 2018, eight years of slowly, sometimes painfully, excavating the wounds that live closest to the self. Wounds of identity, worth, our right to want, to desire, and take up space without apology or justification. MARS moving through ARIES is swift and bright, and as it meets CHIRON here, it brings a spark of courage to that long and tender healing. This is one that illuminates. The healing we have been doing is real, and we are ready now to act from it rather than around it. To choose ourselves not as a natural gesture. To release the patterns that have kept us small, the learned diminishment, the reflexive self-erasure, the habit of placing our own knowing last and to let what we have been quietly becoming finally take the lead. In AYURVEDA we might understand this as AGNI meeting OJAS, the digestive fire of transformation meeting the vital essence of what has been built through years of inner work. The result is not heat for its own sake. It is a warm and grounded power, the kind that does not need to prove itself.
On the same day, the NEW MOON arrives in TAURUS. And it arrives as a SUPERMOON closer to the earth than usual, its gravitational pull more pronounced, its felt sense in the body more immediate. We may notice it in the days before it perfects, a kind of gathering, a quiet intensification in the body, a sense of something preparing to be planted. The NEW MOON in TAURUS brings together the SUN, the MOON, and MERCURY, all held in the same slow and sensory sign. And URANUS in GEMINI sits nearby, close enough to thread electricity through what might otherwise be entirely earthbound. This is the quality of the lunation: deeply grounded and quietly electric. Rooted and awake simultaneously. TAURUS holds the container safety, beauty, rhythm, the felt sense of our own body as home and URANUS brings through it a current of new perception, of thought that surprises us, of intuition arriving in forms we did not expect.
The NEW MOON also squares the nodal axis, the PISCES and VIRGO nodes of fate and release. This makes it a choice point. A genuine evolutionary crossroads, where what we plant and what we choose to let fall away will matter beyond this single lunar month. We are not simply beginning a new cycle. We are choosing the ground into which that cycle is seeded. The NEW MOON in TAURUS asks us to come home to the body. To trust the rhythm that lives in us beneath the noise of the world. To anchor in presence, not in having all the answers but in the felt sense of our own inner knowing as a reliable guide. TAURUS understands that safety is not something that arrives from outside. It is something we cultivate within, through our relationship with our own senses, our own rhythms, our own quiet and sovereign truth.
VENUS in GEMINI moves toward a sextile with CHIRON as the week closes, a whisper of the healing available in the days just ahead, the heart opening gently toward what has been wounded in how we love and how we connect. It is a thread worth following.
The medicine of this week is TAURUS medicine. Slowness, sensory presence, the deliberate return to the physical. Eat warm sweet potato. Move gently and with pleasure rather than effort. Spend time in nature not as exercise but as receipt. Let the skin feel the temperature of the air. Let the feet feel the ground.
The TAURUS NEW MOON asks for KAPHA qualities to ground the electricity of the week's more awakened energies rest, nourishment, stillness, the long unhurried exhale.
A NEW MOON RITUAL
Find a quiet place outdoors if you can, or near an open window where the air can reach you. Bring something to write with.
Light your BOHOBO AROMATHERAPIES POETRY AYURVEDIC INCENSE and let the smoke rise without direction. Watch it for a moment. Let the fragrance arrive before anything else, resins and sacred woods and the particular quality of something ancient and patient being released into the air. Breathe it in and let the breath slow. This is the beginning of the RITUAL, the moment the ordinary becomes intentional.
Place your hands on your belly or your heart, wherever feels most like home in the body today. Ask yourself, not in the mind but in the body what you want to grow in the next lunar month? Not what you think you should want. Not what would look right or make sense to someone else. What do you, in the quiet beneath all the noise, genuinely desire?
Write it down as a feeling, a texture, a colour if that is what comes. Let it be imprecise. and honest.
Then sit with the incense a little longer, and let the smoke carry anything you are ready to release from the cycle just ending. You do not need to name it perfectly. The intention is enough. You know what you are letting go of even when the mind does not.
Close by placing both feet on the earth, floor, grass, stone, and feeling, for a few breaths, the ground receiving you. This is TAURUS. This is the practice. Coming home to what is already, quietly, enough.
This writing arrives each week because someone is listening for it. It is shaped slowly, in genuine relationship with the sky, with the season, and with the people who find their way to it. If it has met us somewhere real this week, if something in it named what we were already sensing or gave language to what we are moving through, that is the exchange this work is reaching for.
If it has landed, an offering through the link below is a beautiful way of honouring that. Not as payment for a product, but as participation in a living current, the kind that keeps this work resourced, unhurried, and able to continue arriving each week with the same care and depth.

SUN | MOON | RISING
These speak most clearly through the RISING sign, which orients the entire chart and places every planetary movement in its most precise and personal context. If we know our RISING, we begin there and let the SUN and MOON signs add their own texture to the story. For a reading that speaks directly to our own chart where this week, this year, and this remarkable moment of collective astrological movement lands in the specific architecture of our own life you are welcome to book an ASTROLOGY READING with me.
ARIES
This is a week that moves through both the wound and the healing of it, and for ARIES risings that conversation is intimate and immediate. MARS meets CHIRON in your identity, in the very ground of your selfhood, and what arises may feel tender before it feels liberating. Something in how you have been moving through the world, how much space you have been allowing yourself to take up, how honestly you have been following your own desire rather than managing the comfort of others, is being brought into the light with unusual clarity and courage. This is not a painful reckoning. It is a brave one. The body may feel it as a kind of unlocking, a release of tension held so long it had become invisible. Let it move. Let what has been braced finally soften.
The MERCURY CAZIMI and the NEW MOON SUPERMOON both illuminate self-worth, resource, and what you genuinely value. The mind opens around money and the stories beneath it, around what you believe you deserve to receive and whether those beliefs are actually yours. Practically, this week may bring a financial conversation, a shift in how you understand your own value in a professional context, or simply a quiet inner recognition that you have been settling for less than what is true for you. JUPITER warming your home and roots from CANCER brings a gentle and nourishing quality to your private life, a sense of something expanding in the foundation rather than in the visible world. Let the roots deepen this week. The visible growth will follow.
TAURUS
This is your week in the most complete and personal sense. The SUN, MERCURY, and the NEW MOON SUPERMOON all arrive in your sign, in your identity, your body, your sense of self and how you meet the world. This is a renewal of the most immediate kind. You may find yourself seeing yourself differently this week, not dramatically but with a quiet and steady clarity, as though a lens that had been slightly smeared has been wiped clean. The MERCURY CAZIMI here is extraordinarily personal for you, bringing a moment of luminous self-understanding, a thought or a realisation about who you are becoming that lands with the weight and solidity that only TAURUS truth can carry.
In daily life this may look like a conversation with yourself that finally feels honest. A decision you have been circling that suddenly becomes obvious. A renewed sense of your own body as home, as worthy of care and pleasure and rest. The SUPERMOON will be felt physically, a heightened sensitivity in the body, a pull toward stillness and nourishment and the things that genuinely sustain rather than simply distract.
MARS and CHIRON meet in your interior, in the quiet and private layer of your chart where things dissolve and renew beneath ordinary awareness. Old fears, old patterns of self-abandonment, things that have been finishing themselves in the unseen, are being touched by a spark of courage this week. You may not even be fully conscious of what is releasing. You may simply wake one morning and feel lighter without being able to say why. Trust that. Something real has moved.
VENUS and URANUS in your self-worth and resource bring electric and unexpected movement to your material world and your sense of what you deserve. JUPITER in your communication and local environment brings warmth and expansion to your everyday exchanges. This is a week to speak, to write, to share, to let the mind move with generosity. Ground in the body first. Let the senses lead. You are, this week, most fully yourself.
GEMINI
VENUS is in your sign and URANUS has just arrived, and even in the quieter days of this week you will feel a kind of aliveness in you that is different to what came before. A quickening in the mind. A desire to connect, to explore, to follow curiosity without needing to know where it leads. This is your nature, and the sky is currently amplifying it with unusual warmth and electricity.
But the week also asks something of you that GEMINI does not always find easy. The SUN, MERCURY CAZIMI, and the SUPERMOON NEW MOON all illuminate your interior, the quiet and unconscious layer of your chart, the place of dreams, of rest, of what dissolves in preparation for what is coming. This is not a week for performance or for filling every hour with stimulation. It is a week for listening inward. For the particular kind of knowing that arrives in stillness rather than in motion. The CAZIMI here is less a sharp external insight and more a whisper from somewhere older and deeper than the ordinary mind. Keep something to write near your bed. The most significant realisations of this week may arrive at the threshold of sleep.
MARS and CHIRON meet in your community and friendship, in the place where you belong to others and they to you. Old wounds around whether you are truly seen, truly known, truly welcome in the circles that matter to you are being gently and courageously touched. This may surface as a conversation that goes somewhere more honest than expected, or as a quiet recognition of where you have been performing belonging rather than genuinely receiving it. JUPITER in CANCER warms your financial world with an unexpected generosity. Something in your material life is expanding quietly. Let it.
In the body, this week calls for less screen, more skin in the open air. PEPPERMINT or EUCALYPTUS to clear the mind's tendency to overstimulate, and something anchoring like SANDALWOOD to keep the VATA quality of this GEMINI energy from scattering entirely.
CANCER
The MERCURY CAZIMI and the SUPERMOON NEW MOON illuminate community, friendship, and your vision for the future. This is a significant lunation for your social world and your sense of collective belonging. In practical life, this may arrive as a new connection that feels genuinely nourishing, a shift in your relationship with an existing community, or a clarification of which circles truly reflect who you are becoming. The mind opens around the future this week, around what you are building toward beyond the personal, around the hopes you carry for your own life and for the world around you. Let those visions be written down. Let them become more specific than they have been.
MARS and CHIRON meet in your career and public life, and something here is being asked to move with greater courage and tenderness simultaneously. Old wounds around authority, visibility, and your right to be seen in a position of genuine power are being touched by a spark of healing action. You may be called to step forward in a way that feels both right and vulnerable. Do it anyway. The body may register this as a tension in the shoulders or throat, the places where we hold unexpressed authority. Breathe into them deliberately.
JUPITER, your ruling planet's sign, moves warmly through your own identity and body this week, bringing an expansive and generous quality to your sense of self. VENUS and URANUS in your interior and unconscious bring electric and unexpected movement to what is dissolving and renewing beneath your awareness. Something old is finishing quietly. Something new is preparing. PLUTO retrograde in the deepest and most transformational part of your chart asks you to be honest about what you are still carrying from structures and relationships that have already ended. The answer is probably more than you think, and releasing it is the most nourishing thing you can do this week.
LEO
The SUPERMOON NEW MOON and MERCURY CAZIMI both land in your career, your calling, your public life and reputation. This is one of the most potent career lunations of your year, and the SUPERMOON quality means its felt sense is amplified and its reach extends further than a typical NEW MOON would. Practically this may look like a new professional direction becoming visible, a clarity around what you are building and why, a conversation or opportunity that opens a door you had stopped expecting. The CAZIMI brings the mind into extraordinary alignment with your sense of purpose this week. If there is a vision for your work in the world that you have been holding loosely, now is the moment to write it into something more concrete. Let it have weight.
MARS and CHIRON meet in your philosophy and belief, in the place where you make meaning of your experience. Old wounds around whether your perspective is valid, whether your particular way of seeing the world is welcome, whether your truth is worth speaking in larger spaces, are being met with a spark of courage. This may arrive as an urge to write, to teach, to share something you have been holding back from a wider audience. The healing here is in the speaking. In choosing to let your perspective take up space in the world.
JUPITER warms your interior, the quiet and unconscious layer of your chart, with an unusual and tender generosity. Something that has been dissolving is being completed with more grace than you expected. VENUS and URANUS ignite community and collective vision with electricity and warmth. New friendships, unexpected connections, a sense of your social world expanding in surprising and delightful directions. In the body this week, the invitation is to honour the ambition of this lunation by also honouring the body's need for rest. The SUPERMOON asks for both aliveness and restoration. FRANKINCENSE or NEROLI support the integration of the week's more significant energies.
VIRGO
The SUPERMOON NEW MOON and MERCURY CAZIMI illuminate belief, philosophy, and the meaning you make of your life. This is a lunation that reaches into the realm of your deepest knowing, your relationship with truth, with what you believe to be real and valuable and worth building a life around. In practical terms this may arrive as a desire to study, to travel, to encounter a perspective that expands your own, to question something you have held as fixed for longer than it deserves. The CAZIMI in this part of your chart is a moment of genuine philosophical revelation. A thought that changes how you see everything else. Write it down immediately.
MARS and CHIRON meet in intimacy and transformation, in the deep and sometimes difficult territory of shared resource, emotional exchange, and the hidden dimensions of your closest bonds. Old wounds around trusting another person with your most vulnerable self, around giving and receiving in the deepest sense, around your right to need as well as to give, are being touched with courage and with tenderness. This may feel exposing in the most private way possible. It may arrive as a conversation that goes somewhere you were not expecting, or as a recognition of a pattern in intimate relating that you are finally ready to release. The body holds this kind of work in the belly and the lower back. Breathe there deliberately this week.
JUPITER in your community and friendship brings warmth and expansion to your social world and your sense of belonging. Something in how you are received by others is becoming more generous, more visible, more alive. VENUS and URANUS ignite career and calling, bringing unexpected and liberating movement to your professional world. PLUTO retrograde in your daily rhythm and physical health asks you to review what you have been consuming, literally and energetically, that no longer serves your vitality. This is a good week for honest audit of the routines that are sustaining you and those that are quietly depleting.
LIBRA
The SUPERMOON NEW MOON and MERCURY CAZIMI land in intimacy, shared resource, and the profound and hidden layer of your closest bonds. This is a deeply interior lunation for LIBRA risings, one that illuminates what moves beneath the surface of your relationships rather than what is visible on top. In practical life this may arrive as a financial conversation with a partner or collaborator that finally gets to the truth of things, or as an emotional exchange that goes somewhere more honest and more vulnerable than you are used to allowing. The CAZIMI here brings a moment of extraordinary clarity around what you have been withholding in your closest bonds, and why. It is a generous and clarifying light, not an accusatory one.
MARS and CHIRON meet in partnership and one-to-one relationship, bringing a spark of courageous healing to the axis of self and other. Old wounds around losing yourself in relationship, around the fear that your own desires will be too much or not enough, around the learned habit of adjusting yourself to maintain harmony at the expense of honesty, are being met with warmth and with movement. This is a week to practice being fully present in your relationships rather than managing them. To speak what is true rather than what is palatable. The body holds this in the kidneys and the lower back. Warmth and gentle movement support the release.
VENUS, your ruling planet, moves through your philosophy and belief with URANUS alongside, and something in how you understand beauty, love, and the meaning of connection is being quietly revolutionised. JUPITER in your career and calling brings warmth and genuine expansion to your professional world. Something good is growing there, slowly and with the kind of solidity that lasts.
SCORPIO
The SUPERMOON NEW MOON and MERCURY CAZIMI illuminate partnership and one-to-one relationship, the axis of self and other, the place where we are most genuinely met and most genuinely challenged. This is a significant lunation for your closest bonds. In practical life it may arrive as a new beginning in an existing relationship, a clarity around what you need and what you are willing to offer in return, or the recognition that a particular dynamic has been asking to shift for longer than you have acknowledged. The CAZIMI brings the mind into rare clarity around partnership, a thought or a conversation that cuts through what has been murky and makes the truth of things available in a way that feels both startling and obvious.
MARS and CHIRON meet in your daily rhythm and physical health, bringing a spark of courageous healing to how you live in the body and structure your days. Old patterns of pushing past your limits, of treating the body as a vehicle for output rather than a home to be tended, of dismissing your own needs in service of others' demands, are being touched with tenderness and with the invitation to change. This is not a dramatic overhaul. It is a gentle and genuine reckoning with the routines that sustain you and those that quietly diminish you. The body will communicate clearly this week if you are willing to listen. Rest is medicine. Nourishment is medicine. The SUPERMOON amplifies the body's signals. Pay attention to what it is asking for.
VENUS and URANUS ignite intimacy and transformation with unexpected electricity. Something in your most private interior is awakening and evolving. JUPITER warms your philosophy and belief with genuine expansion. Something you believe is becoming truer, deeper, more tested and more real. PLUTO retrograde in your home and roots asks you to be honest about what you are still carrying from your ancestry, your childhood, your foundational emotional life, that has already completed its purpose within you.
SAGITTARIUS
The SUPERMOON NEW MOON and MERCURY CAZIMI land in your daily rhythm, your physical health, and the devotional texture of your ordinary life. For SAGITTARIUS risings, who naturally orient toward the vast and the philosophical, this is a lunation that asks something quietly radical: to find the meaning in the small. To treat the body as sacred rather than incidental. To recognise that how we structure our days, what we eat, how we move, how we rest, is not separate from our spiritual life but is the ground it grows from. In practical terms this week may bring a new health practice, a renewed commitment to the body's rhythms, a clarification of the daily routines that genuinely sustain rather than those that simply fill time.
The MERCURY CAZIMI in this part of your chart brings a moment of clear and embodied knowing around health, around service, around the relationship between your physical wellbeing and your capacity to contribute what you are here to contribute. Write it down. Let it become a commitment rather than an aspiration.
MARS and CHIRON meet in creativity, pleasure, and self-expression, bringing a spark of courageous healing to your right to play, to make things, to express yourself freely and with joy rather than with productivity as the justification. Old wounds around whether what you create is good enough, whether you are allowed to take pleasure seriously, are being touched with warmth and with movement. Let something be made this week purely for the love of making it. JUPITER in your intimacy and transformation brings deep and generous movement to the most hidden and profound layer of your close bonds. Something in how you share yourself with another is expanding and deepening. VENUS and URANUS ignite partnership with electricity and surprise. Something in how you meet the other is becoming more liberated and more honest.
CAPRICORN
The SUPERMOON NEW MOON and MERCURY CAZIMI illuminate creativity, pleasure, romance, and the expression of your most authentic self. For CAPRICORN risings, this is a lunation that invites something that does not always come easily: the permission to enjoy. To create without a purpose beyond the creation itself. To let the heart lead rather than the strategy. In practical life this may arrive as a creative project taking on new life, a romantic beginning or renewal, a moment of genuine play that reconnects you to a part of yourself that discipline has sometimes kept at a distance. The CAZIMI here brings a moment of luminous creative clarity, an idea or a vision for self-expression that feels both surprising and entirely true.
MARS and CHIRON meet in home, ancestry, and the emotional foundations of your life, bringing a spark of courageous healing to your most private and foundational world. Old wounds inherited from family, old emotional patterns that live in the body as posture and breath and automatic response rather than as conscious thought, are being touched with tenderness and with movement. This is slow and important work. The body may register it as a softening in the chest or belly, a feeling of something long-held becoming available to release. CAPRICORN often carries the weight of what has not been felt by others in the lineage. This week, some of that weight becomes lighter.
JUPITER in your partnership and one-to-one relationship brings warmth and genuine expansion to your closest bonds. Something good is growing there. VENUS and URANUS ignite daily rhythm and physical health with electricity and liberation. The way you tend your body and structure your days is entering a period of inspired and unexpected change. PLUTO retrograde in your self-worth and resource asks you to examine, with honesty, what you have been told you are worth and whether you have believed it. The answer deserves more truth than you have perhaps given it.
AQUARIUS
PLUTO continues its slow and profound movement through your identity, your body, the very ground of who you are, and it has been retrograde since May 6. This week that retrograde quality turns the transformational gaze even more deliberately inward. Something in how you have been understanding yourself, the story you tell about who you are and what you are here for, is being asked to deepen and to become more honest. This is not destabilising. It is a kind of composting, where what no longer serves the growth is being broken down into something that will nourish what comes next.
The SUPERMOON NEW MOON and MERCURY CAZIMI land in home, ancestry, and the emotional roots that lie beneath everything visible. This is a profound and interior lunation for AQUARIUS risings, one that reaches into the foundational layer of your life rather than the visible one. In practical terms this may arrive as a shift in your living situation, a conversation with family that goes somewhere more honest than usual, a recognition of an ancestral pattern that you have been carrying without choosing. The CAZIMI here brings an extraordinary moment of clarity around what home means to you, what emotional foundation you are building for yourself, and whether the life you are living reflects the roots you genuinely want to grow from.
MARS and CHIRON meet in communication and your everyday mind, bringing a spark of courageous healing to the stories you tell yourself and the words you use to move through your daily world. Old wounds around being heard, around the validity of your perspective, around your right to speak and be understood, are being touched with warmth and with movement. Write this week. Speak what has been circling silently. The words you find may surprise you with their honesty.
VENUS and URANUS ignite creativity and self-expression with electricity and delight. Something in how you create and how you love is becoming more liberated. JUPITER in your daily rhythm and physical health brings warmth and expansion to the body's world. The body wants more this week, more nourishment, more rest, more genuine pleasure. Give it what it is asking for.
PISCES
The SUPERMOON NEW MOON and MERCURY CAZIMI illuminate home, roots, ancestry, and the emotional foundation that lies beneath everything you build in the visible world. This is one of the most intimate and foundational lunations of your year. In practical life it may arrive as a shift in the home itself, a renovation, a relocation, a change in who you share your living space with, or it may arrive more invisibly as a shift in how you feel inside the home you already have, a new sense of safety in your own private world, a recognition of what emotional nourishment you have been missing and a quiet beginning of providing it for yourself. The CAZIMI brings an extraordinary moment of clarity around your roots, around where you come from and how it has shaped you, around what you want to consciously build as your own foundation going forward.
MARS and CHIRON meet in self-worth and resource, bringing a spark of courageous healing to your relationship with money, with material security, and with the deeper question of what you believe you deserve to receive. CHIRON here touches old wounds around abundance, around whether you are allowed to want financial security, around inherited beliefs about money and worth that were handed to you before you had the wisdom to examine them. MARS brings courage and movement. This is a week to take one small and honest action in the direction of valuing yourself more accurately. To ask for what you are worth. To release a story about scarcity that was never truly yours to carry.
JUPITER in your creativity, pleasure, and self-expression brings warmth and genuine expansion to the part of your life that lives in joy and in making. Something creative is flourishing quietly. VENUS and URANUS ignite home and roots with electricity and unexpected movement, adding an additional layer of activation to what the NEW MOON is already illuminating. PLUTO retrograde in your interior and unconscious asks you to be honest about what you are still carrying in the hidden layer of your life, the unspoken, the unprocessed, the things that visit you in dreams and in the quiet before sleep. They are asking for acknowledgement. Give them a little of that this week, and notice how much lighter the body becomes when what has been suppressed is simply, gently, seen.
