After the month we’ve had so far, this week does its best to soften the edges and inspire us to move forward. But there’s a depth of feeling that exists, imbuing our experience with meaning understood by the mind and felt by the heart.
In the playbill of this week, Venus’s name appears again and again. In Gemini, where she is until May 18, she plays the perfect hostess, chatty and attentive, smoothing the vibe with the skill of an expert social butterfly, moving from guest to guest.
On Sunday she connects with dreamy Neptune, while Mercury chats up an exuberant Jupiter, and the moon in Virgo challenges Uranus. There’s enthusiasm and determination at the outset of the week, even if there’s a long to-do list and likely a few last-minute changes to the plan.
By Tuesday the moon moves into diplomatic Libra while Venus lines up with Pluto. The moon, Venus and Pluto all at the beginning of the three air signs make a powerful alignment called a ‘grand trine,’ symbolizing the united strength of the air element. The air element’s ability to step back from their own perspective to see the big picture (or through the eyes of another) gives them great capacity to weather changes and remain calm while emotions intensify.
