The month has some interesting plot twists possible as Mercury and Venus join up with Uranus, the great awakener, on the 8th and 18th respectively. We have a cozy new Moon in Taurus on the 4th and since the Moon loves to be in this sign, it has the potential to be a nurturing time for a new beginning. Snuggle up with someone you love if at all possible!
Venus enters the sign of Taurus on the 15th, creating the space for gracious gatherings and a deep connection with the feminine archetype. It’s a grand time for social gatherings and spring parties, not to mention enhancing your gardens and surroundings with lush flowers and fruitful plants.
Mars goes into the sign of Cancer on the 15th, which will be a testy placement as it moves towards an opposition with the Saturn Pluto connection in Capricorn by mid-June. This is not favorable and can be oppressive and warlike. Watch the news for major saber rattling later in the month and definitely in June. Use your energy to foster peace and justice.
Mars is also “out of bounds” from April 20 through June 12, meaning it exceeds 23 degrees, 27 minutes of latitude north or south of the equator. It is traveling beyond the normal range of the planetary ecliptic. This translates into extremes in energy and masculine forces. Be extra careful with machinery, driving and any physical activity. It is an active force with potential for good as it gives endurance and strength. However, it will be a more dangerous time in late May and June as Mars moves towards a conjunction with the North Node in the middle of June, another source of extreme energy. Observe and be aware.
Jupiter continues its retrograde phase from 23 through 21 degrees of Sagittarius, giving rise to more voices looking for justice reform and equity in the power structure. Saturn is retrograde with Pluto in Capricorn, affecting big power structures and control of the masses. Uranus continues to slowly move thru the early degrees of Taurus and has the energy of making everyone aware of changes of fortune and financial security. Be risk adverse at this time.
Neptune is in direct motion at 18 degrees of Pisces, bringing water awareness and ocean purity into mass consciousness. It’s heartening to read about various countries eliminating single use plastic bottles and bags to stop that form of pollution. Do your best to make changes in your lifestyle to support this movement for clean waterways, rivers, streams and the ocean.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
This is a good month to connect with friends and have an adventure. Mars is energizing your sign and is opposite Jupiter giving you a restless need to experience something new and different. Be careful with taking physical risks as it’s a bit dangerous for you around the 8th. The Sun and Mercury enter your sign on the 21st with Mercury within minutes of the Sun, making it cazimi, which the old astrologers felt was like having the ear of the king. So that’s another positive day for you to make progress. Good days to take a break and get away are the 6th and 7th.
CANCER
June 22-July 22
With Saturn, Pluto and the south node together opposite your sign, there is some trauma or difficult circumstances you are coping with. This will have some long term effects, continuing through the early part of 2020 as these planets are conjunct each other again. Take it one step at a time and stay present to your own needs for comfort and nurturing. The 8th and 9th are positive days for you.
LEO
July 23-Aug 22
This is a great month for a long distance adventure for you, particularly if you are returning to a place you’ve been before. A conflict might be present as you have a strong 10th house which reinforces gains in the public image and career sector of your chart. Maybe a foreign business trip is in order. Your days of strength and power are the 10th and 11th.
VIRGO
Aug 23-Sept 22
This month provides some new opportunities and some stability in your work life with a grand earth trine of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and Sun, Mercury and Venus in Taurus. Contracts and agreements made this month have the potential to be solid and long lasting. You can make powerful connections at this time and gain more stability in your life. The 12th ad 13th are very favorable days.
LIBRA
Sept 23-Oct 23
Partnership and money issues are at the forefront of your mind this month as planets transit your 7th and 8th houses. Saturn and Pluto are below the horizon occupying your 4th house of home, real estate, ancestors and things underground. The 4th and 8th houses are placements of endings so you may start making some changes in where you live and how you invest your money. The 14th, 15th and AM hours of the 16th are your best days.
SCORPIO
Oct 24-Nov 22
With the full Moon in your sign on the 18th, you have some potent energy to put forth in the world. People notice you and will want to make connections all month as the energy of Taurus and the planets transiting that sign, even though it is in opposition to your sign, bring energy in to support you. Re read what I said about Mars out of bounds in the introduction to connect with its power. The PM of the 16th, the 17th and the full Moon on the 18th are your exceptional days.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 23-Dec 21
Your ruling planet, Jupiter, is retrograde in your sign until August 11. Things may need revision and review, particularly around the time of the full Moon on the 18th, which happens in your house of hidden agendas, karma, the past and how we sabotage ourselves. It’s time to cut out self-defeating behaviors and let things go, particularly grievances against others. Review the serenity prayer for some good advice this month. The 19th and 20th are fortunate days for you.
CAPRICORN
Dec 22-Jan 20
With Saturn, Pluto and the south Node all retrograde and moving slowly in your sign, there is a feeling of gravitas to all the decisions facing you right now. But there is support for making good decisions with planets in Taurus and the support of the new and full Moons this month. You have the skills and talent to forge ahead and lay positive groundwork for long term plans now. Your best days to do so are the 21st and 22nd.
AQUARIUS
Jan 21-Feb 20
The home, family, ancestors and your roots occupy a lot of your time and attention this month. Communication issues or talks with siblings and family members are important to you now. Some hidden things about your past or people from your past may reach out to connect with you. There is some karma that needs to be resolved over the next 12 months so do some soul searching about what you would like heal and release. The 23rd, 24th and 25th are positive days to do so.
PISCES
Feb 21-Mar 20
The energy this month emphasizes communication, connections with neighbors, siblings and assets this month as you get a boost from the new and full Moons in your solar 3rd house and transiting Mercury and Venus in your solar 2nd house. You could be a little gullible at the end of the month so don’t fall for any “too good to be true” schemes. This is also a good month to do some home improvement projects while Mars transits your 4th house. The 26th, 27th and AM hours of the 28th are your stellar days.
Namaste,
Jeanne
