The Energy Is Shifting
After months of drifting through emotional, watery skies, the cosmic current is changing course. Venus and Neptune have both entered fiery Aries, and Saturn will join them on May 25. The mood is heating up—fast.
Mars recently moved into bold, expressive Leo, a sign he’s much more at home in. But right away, he locked into a tense opposition with Pluto. These co-rulers of Scorpio have challenged us to strike a balance: should we step into the spotlight and assert ourselves, or prioritize our community and collective responsibilities?
Just as this tension eases, the Full Moon occurs on Monday in Scorpio. During this lunation, the Moon stands opposite the Sun and Uranus in Taurus. Full moons often bring intense emotions, and with the planet of surprises involved, expect the unexpected. Scorpio themes—secrets, power, and transformation—may rise to the surface. We could see sudden revelations on both personal and global levels.
Additionally, Mercury enters stubborn Taurus and immediately forms a square to Pluto. This may stir up confrontations. Be mindful— people may be quick to anger and slow to forgive. If someone tries to provoke you, don’t take the bait. Disagreements that spark now could smolder for a long time.
Instead, use Mercury in Taurus constructively: stock your pantry and freezer, refresh your emergency supplies, and make practical preparations. Storm and wildfire seasons are approaching, and political tensions are escalating. Even the Earth seems restless—did you hear about the surprising earthquake in Tennessee this past Saturday?
On a personal note, my husband and I recently connected through the Denver airport—now one of the five busiest in the world. It was packed and chaotic, full of frazzled travelers rushing to make connections. Yet, I noticed something heartening: a few people slowing down to be kind. “Excuse me,” “You go first,” “Are you in this line?” There were smiles, friendly eye contact, and moments acknowledging that we’re all in this together.
Life is messy—and it's about to get messier. Kindness and compassion will be essential tools for navigating the changes ahead. Now is the time to connect. Get to know your neighbors. Build community. Look out for one another.
