Astrology for May 15-21, 2023© Sandra Helton

Mercury turned direct last Sunday so this week moves slow on its way forward. With the lunar tide

diminishing this slow methodical approach to life is a good idea to enable adjusting to the coming upswing of energy. In Taurus a shift direction relating to finances, money in general and your income helps to realign for increase. Recent celestial energies have caused a sense of doubt and worry that pushed many toward withdrawal to tend to emotional and other sensitivities. Evermore there’s a need to seek what offers wholeness and peace.

With the Moon on the wane this week feelings continue to be serious and even somber so the time is right to seek solace while you consider priorities to enable you to be comfortable when outside forces are misaligned.

Jupiter transits into Taurus on Tuesday where it will be until May 24, 2024 giving renewed opportunities and advancing ways to increase prosperity. Within, values are realized and it’s time to honor your worth that in reaction will help to manifest your ideals.

The New Moon in Taurus on Friday is like an escape hatch after so much energy from the eclipses, solar storms and Mercury retrograde. It’s an all systems go vibration to help launch forward some of your plans and projects and with so much Taurus already in action this calms an intense sea that for the next two weeks supports growth and more ways to be comfortable with who you are.

Mars moves into Leo Saturday where it resides until July 10 promoting all things Leo related such as creativity and how you go about connecting socially and romantically. The focus is on “you” in that Leo governs your central being, your ego and identity that Mars activates more fully. There can be excitement and interest it experiencing what you love and want to do. Keys are enrichment and passion.

On Sunday the Sun transits into Gemini for a month long sojourn bringing into manifestation everything relating to connecting to others through communication and travel. This strengthens your self-awareness that helps you to align in the world.
