Astrology for May 8-14, 2023© & Mercury Direct

 The outstanding historic event ending last week was the crowning of King Charles III. The coronation


took place on Saturday, May 6, 2023 with the exact moment being 12:03 PM London Time. Camilla received her crown at 12:15 PM. Interesting about the astrology chart is that it’s very compatible to the birth chart of Charles with both charts having Leo ascendants, Charles has his Moon in Taurus conjunct the ceremony Sun, Charles with his Scorpio Sun conjunct the coronation Scorpio Moon; both charts have the North Node in Taurus that’s beneficial as the node is positive energy revealing opportunity to follow through with missions. There are other compatible factors indicating his reign will be successful and also busy. The expectations of today’s world is itself demanding that to a degree dictates any leadership creating limitations that outwardly appears more flexible, more liberal and more inclusive though that’s not the end result for most monarchies as it’ a “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” result. The path is going to be fraught with pushing and prodding from the nation and world creating shown by Mercury retrograde although perseverance will prevail. He is to a degree impervious as someone having spent his entire life in a royal role.

Otherwise in the world we’re on the shadow side of the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse that peaked Friday, May 5 at 1:34 PM ET with influence still resonating that stirs the innermost aspects of the psyche. The week feels like having been on a long journey and needing to rest due in part to the intensity of the eclipse combined with solar flares.

On Tuesday the Sun and Uranus conjunct in Taurus creates lighten fast thoughts with flying ideas and unique ways of thinking. This creates a sharp mind so pay attention to any sudden flashes of insight.

Friday brings two nice Mercury angles, a sextile to Saturn and a sextile to Venus. This is great for laying a foundation you want to last and if an artisan you have this as support for your work and you can create something people will like well into the future. As the planet of communication and also currently retrograde, Mercury is now in a place to help you to have an easygoing sense of purpose and ways to establish connections with others. 

Also on Friday is the Quarter Moon in Aquarius puts a unique spin on events and choices. This gives you for the week ahead until the Full Moon in June time to realign what you want to do in relation to what you need. Let Mercury Retrograde help you to redo and revamp where something is in the way of freedom.

Venus trine Saturn on Saturday adds to the ability to establish something creative that can be lasting. You can work on relationships that you wish to cultivate.

Mercury is direct on Sunday although for a few days is in a paused mode so move slowly and with awareness as you begin anything new. With the lunar tide diminishing this slow methodical approach to life is a good idea.
