Astrology for May 1-7, 2023© Sandra Helton

It’s amazing that we’re now into May and it will be just as busy as April with plenty of celestial turns and twists along with the aftermath of intense solar flares having bombarded our planet. Generally CME’s (coronal mass ejections) that aim toward earth are shielded from impact though right now they’re filtering through cause concern for satellites, GPS, radio and other technological signals possibly being disrupted. These storms also affect humans in varying ways from tension to neurological.

The Sun and Mercury retrograde are conjunct in Taurus on Monday at 7:28 PM ET heightening mental sharpness and giving strong impulse to connect with others. What you do and say and where you go seems more important.

On Thursday Venus and Neptune square is influential all week calling for careful understanding of how interactions are being played out and a need to seek understanding. Beguilement and charm could turn out to be superficial so take your time before becoming involved to be sure all is as it seems. A key is distortion.

The Full Moon in Scorpio Lunar Eclipse with on the same day Venus sextile Jupiter that’s part of the solar-lunar eclipse axis and is a strong reminder of everything about the external of money and valuables combined with the inner sense of values and worth. Many are questioning personal decisions and lifestyles relating to longevity. Contemplating your current life path helps to understand feelings and the complex dynamic of your lifestyle so that you can discover variables which can lead to avenues of opportunity activated by the Venus-Jupiter energy.

Mercury is still retrograde in Taurus until May 14 so continuing to be mindful of communication and decisions helps to maneuver through potential misunderstanding.
