1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,640 your host Alice Bell in today's Monday, May fifth. I 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,119 hope everyone had a great Leo Moon weekend. I guess 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,120 by the time this episode comes out, I will have 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,359 just come back from meeting my new Nissan Nephew for 6 00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:22,920 the first time, so that was an important I guess, 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,079 moon and first house transit that I experienced this past weekend. Also, 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,879 I want to apologize for my voice in this episode. 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,159 I have come down with allergies. They I don't know, 10 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,240 They've totally wrecked me this past week, So I'm sorry 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,159 if my voice sounds more nasally or just not super 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,880 pleasant to listen to next episode, I'll be back on track. 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,399 But looking ahead at the astrology over the next few days, 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,880 this entire week is spent leading up to the full 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,640 moon full moon in Scorpio that won't happen until next Monday, 16 00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:59,119 so there's a lot of momentum building over the next 17 00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:01,439 few days and and this is definitely going to be 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,200 a busier week where you're seeing work, projects, opportunities, even 19 00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:11,000 new habits you may have recently established come together more 20 00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:14,680 fully and possibly reach a turning point or become more 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,680 visible to everyone else. So maybe you've been working hard 22 00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:22,680 at something and it hasn't been you haven't been able 23 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,640 to see how far your progress has come. I think 24 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,959 by the end of this week and headed into early 25 00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:31,400 next week, with that full moon and Scorpio, you're kind 26 00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:33,640 of seeing like, oh, my hard work is paying off. 27 00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:37,159 I'm finally able to see how it's more visible in 28 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,719 my life. I would also say in the lead up 29 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,680 to the full moon, this will also be a week 30 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,680 of greater connection with people, because that's what every single 31 00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:49,799 time in the month. When it's very close to a 32 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,959 full moon, you're naturally going to have more plans with 33 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,920 others come up, and you're going to naturally feel more social, 34 00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,120 like you want to put yourself out there. I guess 35 00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:00,719 that kind of goes again, and it's like the sign 36 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:03,120 of Scorpio, which is a lot more private and like 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,959 craving more in depth, meaningful interactions. So it could be 38 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,360 kind of a balance of both of those, where you're 39 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,120 wanting to be around people, but it's more like, okay, 40 00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:16,840 being more selective about who you choose to hang out 41 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,520 with this week, or kind of craving those deeper conversations 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,879 where you're really understanding, like where that person is coming 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,319 from or how they're feeling in that moment. I have 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:34,120 in astrology workshop event planned for Tuesday tomorrow, and just 45 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,759 as a rule of thumb, it always is better to 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,800 try to schedule events where you're bringing people together and 47 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,439 want more of this lively interaction to occur in the 48 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,000 lead up to the full moon, like the several days 49 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,479 leading into it, or on the actual day of the 50 00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:51,840 full moon, because people tend to have more energy and 51 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,400 they naturally want to be out and connecting with people. 52 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,680 But other than the build up to the full moon 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,719 this week, there aren't a ton of other transits taking place. 54 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:03,560 Mercury changing signs, it's moving into Taurus, so we'll get 55 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,400 into that. But really like looking at the next couple 56 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:11,039 of months, the next action packed period for transits will 57 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,840 be the end of May, throughout June and early July. 58 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,479 A Saturn, Jupiter, and Urinus all change signs within like 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,360 I think it's like a five to six week period, 60 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,639 So enjoy this calmer period at the moment and know 61 00:03:26,719 --> 00:03:30,280 that there's bigger shifts right on the horizon, and then 62 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,439 announcements before we get started. If you didn't catch last 63 00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:37,159 week's episode, Astrology of an Identity Shift that came out 64 00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:40,719 on Thursday. Trying to do more bonus episodes moving forward, 65 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,120 likely going to be like two a month. That's what 66 00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:46,639 I'm trying to stick to. And this past when I released, 67 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:50,039 was on the astrology of when you feel these more 68 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,879 major changes about to occur in your life or the 69 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,680 way you think about yourself and what your core interests 70 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,400 are are going through this state of transition, and that 71 00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:02,680 can feel very challenging in the moment, but it ultimately 72 00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:06,120 serves to push you in a different direction. And I'm 73 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,159 also trying to do more with YouTube, so there is 74 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:13,360 a video component to that podcast. I'm really enjoying recording, 75 00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:17,360 like recording a video of these podcasts and then having 76 00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:21,079 diagrams pop up about what I talk about, just because 77 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:25,720 astrology is sometimes hard to translate into podcast format, because 78 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,560 it's very helpful to look at charts when I'm explaining something, 79 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,800 So I like how on YouTube I'm able to throw 80 00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:36,839 up the diagram as I'm explaining what a certain transit is. 81 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,040 So I'm Astrology with Alice also on YouTube. You can 82 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,160 check me out there and stay tuned for more fun 83 00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,720 bonus episodes coming soon. Okay, we are starting the week 84 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,759 off on Monday, May fifth. The moon is still in Leo. 85 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,560 This was a carryover from this past weekend. However, the 86 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,199 moon's in the later degrees of Leo by Monday, so 87 00:04:57,319 --> 00:05:00,319 it'll be void of course, and don't expect us much 88 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,279 activity to be happening throughout a large part of the day, 89 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,519 So you could have a slower start to your Monday, 90 00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:10,720 or you're just not receiving a lot of like requests 91 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,800 for meetings or emails or hearing from a lot of people. 92 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,120 It's definitely this like easing back into the work week, 93 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,360 and if you feel the need to go slower on 94 00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,519 Monday morning, allow yourself to do so. Once the moon 95 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,040 moves into Virgo though right around three point forty pm Eastern, 96 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,439 you could feel this noticeable shift to wanting to be 97 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,879 more productive. That energy will be more apparent on Tuesday, 98 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,439 since it is happening pretty late in the workday on Monday. 99 00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:42,279 So maybe it's like you're entering Tuesday and Wednesday feeling 100 00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:44,519 back on track and ready to get organized with the 101 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,160 Virgo moon energy, but still at the end of the 102 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,160 day on Monday, maybe you do have more of a 103 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:54,199 desire to put in extra effort to get some work done, 104 00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:57,040 or you could want to tidy up and get organized 105 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,639 in a way. Also, when thinking about the moon and Virgo, 106 00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:03,720 a lot of it has to do with taking care 107 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:07,839 of your body and physical health. So Monday later in 108 00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:10,959 the day would be great for scheduling a workout, or 109 00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:13,040 maybe you want to look up a healthy recipe and 110 00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:16,560 cook for yourself, or engage in some other type of 111 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:20,240 wellness practice that helps you to feel more like in 112 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,319 your body and good about yourself. Another transit that's happening 113 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,480 on Monday is that Mercury, which is still in aries, 114 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,639 will be sex tiling Jupiter and Gemini. So even though 115 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,680 a large part of Monday with moonvoid, of course, will 116 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,279 be slower, the Mercury Jupiter aspect could be great for 117 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,360 supporting multitasking or being more proactive about writing, creating content, 118 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,480 pitching ideas. Maybe just hold off on like sending an 119 00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:55,879 email about a pitch, or like introducing a new concept 120 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,199 at work until the later afternoon evening on Monday. I 121 00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:06,279 would also say Mercury Jupiter is great for speaking up 122 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,360 about your thoughts and opinions too, especially Mercury and Ares. 123 00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:12,759 It's about being more assertive with your ideas or your 124 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,800 opinions on something. Okay, now let's move on to Tuesday, 125 00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:20,079 May sixth. The moon is still in Virgo all day 126 00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:22,959 on Tuesday, so we got another day that's geared more 127 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,720 towards productivity, self improvement, being healthier, and just overall being 128 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,800 more mindful of how you treat yourself. It could be 129 00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:34,560 on Tuesday that you're accomplishing a lot more than you 130 00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:37,560 usually would on a I don't know, on a random 131 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,319 work day. The thing to keep in mind with the 132 00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:44,480 Virgo moon, though, is being overly self critical and not 133 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,240 satisfied unless something is perfect. So if you find yourself 134 00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:52,600 falling into those thought patterns, try to remind yourself you 135 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,439 don't need to control everything so much. Everything is playing 136 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,519 out as it should. You. Worrying about something or thinking 137 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,319 it needs to be absolutely perfect isn't going to change 138 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,120 the outcome or how it's meant to play out, So 139 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,439 maybe ease up on control there. Hopefully we don't feel 140 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,040 the challenges of the Virgo moon so much on Tuesday 141 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,560 because the moon and Virgo will be trying the Sun 142 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,279 and Taurus, so it gets this positive support from the Sun, 143 00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:24,439 and this brings this great correlation happening between our thoughts 144 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,279 and our goals and our identity with what our emotions 145 00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:31,399 and gut instincts are telling us like those two parts 146 00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:34,919 of ourselves will feel more aligned on Tuesday, and having 147 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,360 the Sun and moon connect across these Earth signs will 148 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,159 also point to how productivity are being able to stay 149 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,960 on top of a lot of tasks at once without 150 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,799 getting overwhelmed. That'll be a great key theme that we 151 00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:50,919 get right at the start of this work week. It's 152 00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:55,480 a very grounded, practical energy throughout Tuesday. I guess Wednesday 153 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,679 gets a bit trickier, So I would say Tuesday is 154 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,360 kind of the day you may want to see are 155 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,240 the most productivity and work around this week. Another transit 156 00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:08,399 happening on Tuesday is that Mercury will be building to 157 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,799 a conjunction with Cairn and Ares, So there could be 158 00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:16,039 a difficult conversation you need to have with someone on Tuesday, 159 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,600 or maybe I don't know, if you are super confident 160 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,639 in invoicing ideas or what you had to say on Monday, 161 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,480 maybe Tuesday you could be doubting yourself a bit or 162 00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:29,440 feeling a bit more insecure about speaking up and being heard. 163 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,440 On a more positive note, this mercury chiron aspect could 164 00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:38,000 have you wanting to communicate with people about your insecurities 165 00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:40,559 and be more open about I don't know, there's difficult 166 00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:43,799 feelings you experience and addressing them so they don't hold 167 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,120 that same power over you. So Tuesday could be a 168 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,080 great day for being more open and vulnerable with people 169 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,480 and how you communicate. Then we are to Wednesday, May seventh. 170 00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:59,519 The moon remains in Virgo for another day. However, on Wednesday, 171 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,279 the moon be opposing Saturn and Pisces, and it'll also 172 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,559 be conjunct the south note in Virgo. So I kind 173 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,360 of see Wednesday as being a heavier day where you 174 00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:13,080 may feel more weighed down by work or possibly frustrated 175 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,399 by a situation. All of the Virgo moon themes we've 176 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,480 kept going over already, like wanting to find ways to 177 00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:22,679 be more efficient with your time, take better care of yourself, 178 00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:28,120 or accomplish more work will still apply, but it's likely 179 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,559 that you may run into delays on Wednesday, or need 180 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,960 to rework something first, or you could simply feel more 181 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:38,159 tired and drained, especially if you've had a lot going 182 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,399 on recently, Like we came off that new moon in 183 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,639 Taurus and that was pretty close to a square with Mars. 184 00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:48,200 So do feel like that new moon was very action packed. 185 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,480 In the days that followed it, there was a lot 186 00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:53,639 more going on. So maybe by the time we get 187 00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:55,919 to this Wednesday, you're like, okay, wait, I need to 188 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,639 rest for a second. I feel very drained, this tired 189 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,480 or have your energy will get intensified the later into 190 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,240 Wednesday we get like late afternoon evening Eastern Time, or 191 00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,519 if you're as far away as like Asia Australia, this 192 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,840 would be your Thursday morning. So instead of getting worked 193 00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:18,440 up or frustrated or impatient, maybe try to use Wednesday 194 00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:22,759 to slow down a bit, review, reflect, and try not 195 00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:25,639 to get so worked up if something isn't moving as 196 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,320 fast as you would like. And also be kinder to yourself. 197 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,240 Don't fall into that trap of needing everything to be 198 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,200 overly perfect or being so self critical. It's just so 199 00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:41,080 important to keep in mind that for pretty much like Monday, Tuesday, 200 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,159 Wednesday moving right along to Thursday, May eighth, at last, 201 00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:49,480 the moon changes signs. It leaves Virgo moves into Libra. 202 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,320 A little after three am Eastern Time, and this mainly 203 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,200 applies for time zones ahead, or maybe if you're up 204 00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:59,759 a little bit earlier Eastern time, you could feel this. 205 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,000 The moon and Libra opposite Neptune and aries, so at 206 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,919 the start of your day, maybe you do feel a 207 00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:09,639 bit more sensitive or scattered, just kind of hard to 208 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,519 keep track of stuff as much as you would like. 209 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,600 But then as we move later into Thursday, the moon 210 00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:19,960 will move on to oppose Venus and Ares. So if 211 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,639 you did feel sensitive or like more emotional at the 212 00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:25,519 start of your Thursday, you're shaking that off and feeling 213 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,360 that social and creative side to the liber moon a 214 00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:33,320 bit more, and Thursday will likely be a more social day. 215 00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:37,440 The first half of this work week is so work intensive, 216 00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:40,960 while the second half is about making time for people 217 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,879 you care about, forming new connections, and feeling a bit 218 00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:47,080 more fun like you want to put yourself out there. 219 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,840 You could also take a greater interest in beauty in 220 00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:53,200 the arts, or it might be a great day for 221 00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:56,440 bouncing your ideas off of people, like asking for advice. 222 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,080 Someone may offer their own perspective honest situation you're facing 223 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,399 and that could really help you, So don't be afraid 224 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,000 to reach out for help or let someone in on 225 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,159 what's going on with you at the moment. One last 226 00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:11,039 thing I'll say for Thursday is that it could be 227 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,639 a good day for creative brainstorming or just following whatever 228 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,960 inspires you. And then we are to Friday, May ninth. 229 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,720 Friday has a very similar energy to Thursday, with the 230 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,759 moon in Libra still, but on Friday the moon is 231 00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:27,639 applying to a trine with Jupiter and Gemini. Friday is 232 00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:32,000 a super pleasant day. I think Friday and Tuesday are 233 00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:35,559 my favorite days of the week for different reasons. Tuesday 234 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,799 is better for accomplishing work and being patient and productive, 235 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,159 whereas Friday has more of this bubbly, friendly social energy. 236 00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:47,600 So Friday is going to be great to make plans 237 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,120 with people, attend an event, go on a date, maybe 238 00:13:51,159 --> 00:13:53,799 catch up with a friend for some quality one on 239 00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:56,919 one time, and you may notice how communication is flowing 240 00:13:57,159 --> 00:14:01,720 much more easily in your relationships. Friday is also a 241 00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:04,519 great day for again allowing your mind to wander and 242 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,080 pick up on whatever is inspiring to you, and then 243 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,279 maybe using those ideas and putting them into writing or 244 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,000 pitching them to someone, or coming up with new content 245 00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:15,960 that you want to work on. I just see this 246 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,399 creative flow of information happening at the end of this week. 247 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,039 I love heading into the weekend on this note. Unfortunately, 248 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,440 the whole weekend will not be like this because the moon, 249 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,039 as we'll see, is quickly moving into Scorpio, which will 250 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,799 bring up a lot of emotions than we are to Saturday, 251 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,200 May tenth. What's interesting about Saturday is that the moon 252 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:44,000 and mercury are chasing each other all day through across 253 00:14:44,039 --> 00:14:47,000 four different signs. So we have the moon and Libra 254 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,320 for the first part of the day on Saturday, so 255 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,360 time zones ahead, this would be your entire day, and 256 00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:58,480 Mercury will be an aries for the earlier part of Saturday. 257 00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:03,759 So first half of Saturday has moon opposite mercury across 258 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,480 Libra and Ares, and then by the end of Saturday 259 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,120 it's moon opposite mercury across Scorpio and Taurus. So it 260 00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:14,159 could be interesting to see how there's this shift in 261 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,559 how you're feeling how you're communicating with people between the 262 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,159 start of Saturday and the end of Saturday. But in general, 263 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,200 with the moon and mercury connecting, you could be having 264 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,279 more emotionally charged conversations with people, or maybe you're making 265 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,080 decisions and planning out your day based on how you 266 00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:35,519 feel a lot of like your thoughts and how you're 267 00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:38,720 communicating or really coming back to your emotions on Saturday, 268 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:42,039 So try to be mindful of how your words come across. 269 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,120 Maybe not saying something impulsively, like as a result of 270 00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:49,639 a sudden emotion you're having, or on the other hand, 271 00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:51,120 maybe you do want to use this day as an 272 00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:54,960 opportunity to say how you really feel about say how 273 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,639 you really feel to someone and get those emotions out 274 00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:01,320 into the open. I do want to linger on how 275 00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:05,840 Mercury is moving into Taurus on Saturday, because Mercury has 276 00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:08,720 spent the majority of the first part of this year 277 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,120 going back and forth across Aries and Pisces. It first 278 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,399 moved into Pisces in the middle of February and it 279 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,799 hasn't left these two signs since then. So a lot 280 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,799 of your thoughts, a lot of your mental energy has 281 00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:26,120 been focused towards the themes of those two houses in 282 00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:28,480 your chart. So look at like what house is ruled 283 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,080 by Aries, what houses rolled by Pisces, How have you 284 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,120 seen a combination or how have those the themes of 285 00:16:35,159 --> 00:16:38,399 each of those houses been influencing each other for the 286 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,840 majority of this year, and then noting the themes of 287 00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:44,559 Aris and Pisces in general, how has there maybe been 288 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,919 like a back and forth between the themes of those 289 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,720 two signs, Like Aries is all about taking initiative, being 290 00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:54,759 more proactive, but then Pisces is the complete opposite, where 291 00:16:54,759 --> 00:17:00,879 it's about slowing down, tuning into your emotional side, thinking 292 00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:05,039 and processing things in a more sensitive way, or using 293 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,720 the creative side of your brain, so kind of needing 294 00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:12,599 to incorporate both sides of yourself, or finding a balance 295 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,279 between those two. But now, as Mercury heads into Taurus 296 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,440 from May tenth until May twenty fifth, only two weeks, 297 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,519 it's moving super fast. At this point, you could be 298 00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:29,200 shifting your attention towards practical tasks rather than abstract ideas 299 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,519 or daydreaming. It's more like, let's focus on what's real 300 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,200 and what's in front of you and the work that 301 00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:38,000 needs to be done in your everyday life, and maybe 302 00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:42,160 also giving you this chance to slow down in your 303 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,559 everyday life and how you're processing and learning about new information. 304 00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:49,759 Mercury and Taurus could have to do with slowing down 305 00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:53,559 mentally and learning something at a more patient pace and 306 00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:58,000 really wanting to understand the full picture. There. Whereas Mercury 307 00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:01,759 and Aries was this fast e change of ideas and communication, 308 00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:05,559 Mercury and Taurus gives you the opportunity to be more 309 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,559 intentional and patient with what you're writing, speaking, or learning about. 310 00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:13,880 So check the house in your chart roled by Taurus 311 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,880 for additional themes of where you may want to start 312 00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:20,880 shifting your attention, what you want to start planning for, 313 00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:24,680 the topics that you might be having more conversations around. 314 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,680 That is all indicated by the transit of Mercury. And 315 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,720 then also we have the moon moving into Scorpio right 316 00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:36,440 at four pm Eastern, so from that point on on 317 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:40,440 Saturday night, we're officially in full moon territory. So we 318 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,279 get this shift from having a more social Libra moon 319 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,319 energy to maybe suddenly wanting time with yourself or having 320 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,559 stronger emotions come up, or if you are seeing people 321 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,039 kind of like what I was saying at the start 322 00:18:53,079 --> 00:18:58,440 of this episode, craving closer, more meaningful interactions with someone, 323 00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:01,519 something that feels a bit more into and this same 324 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,000 energy will carry into Sunday too, so let's move on 325 00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:08,799 to Sunday. Now, Sunday, May eleventh, the moon is in 326 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,000 Scorpio on Sunday all day. This is the day that 327 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,440 is really building up to the full moon before it 328 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,759 goes exact halfway through Monday. And I find that the 329 00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:22,359 moon and Scorpio tends to bring up whatever you may 330 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,839 normally like to avoid or keep repressed, and stronger feelings 331 00:19:28,039 --> 00:19:31,359 or reactions are brought to the surface, especially when it's 332 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,839 a full moon in Scorpio building like not just a 333 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,920 regular moon in Scorpio transit. It's like the culmination of 334 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,039 these Scorpio themes coming to the surface. And there could 335 00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:43,759 be this desire to, I don't know, maybe look at 336 00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:46,960 the way you're reacting to someone, or these heavier emotions 337 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,200 coming up, and wanting to better understand them, and wanting 338 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,920 to better understand how you interact with people or how 339 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,759 someone else might be feeling. It's like this greater interest 340 00:19:56,839 --> 00:20:00,880 in human behavior. But at the same time, you're also 341 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,559 realizing where you do and don't have control, and sometimes 342 00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:09,359 that's really difficult, like letting go of something you really 343 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,519 wanted to happen, or how you wanted someone to react 344 00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:15,279 to something you said that stuff's out of your control, 345 00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:17,599 so really trying to focus and bring it back to 346 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,000 what's within the realm of your control. What can you 347 00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:24,519 improve upon within yourself? And I mentioned this theme in 348 00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:27,880 the context of the Virgo moon earlier this week, and 349 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,160 now it's being brought up with the Scorpio moon, So 350 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,680 kind of an overarching theme for this week is where 351 00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:38,400 can you release control and not try to fixate so 352 00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:42,440 much on things having a certain outcome.
