This week ends on a new moon. That means that it is the final week of the lunar month, which runs from new moon to new moon. The final week is for wrapping up the story and themes that began with the previous new moon (April 17) and culminated on the previous full moon (May 1). The last few days of the final week are for rest, letting go and making peace with what happened so that the new lunar month can begin afresh.
Wrapping things up in a way that feels resolved often requires that we take the long view on outcomes and commit to taking action from a place of personal values. It can help to identify what the reasonable outcome we hope for is, and work backwards from there, aligning our actions and communications to set ourselves up for success.
Sunday’s alignment between the Sun and Jupiter can help us do just that, enabling us to see the path ahead with the goal of cooperation and collaboration. It’s a sweet moment to appreciate the care and nurturance required by every living thing to thrive, and an appropriate aspect for Mother’s Day.
Late on Tuesday night, Mercury completes the contact with Jupiter as well, creating a path forward with conversation and shared understanding. Jupiter can optimize things and Mercury in Taurus is looking for straightforward solutions and solid commitments. Whether this looks like a productive conversation or a rich journaling session, make space to find the right words.
