May 27th – June 2nd

by Sonja Francis | May 26, 2024 | Astrological Forecasts

Are You Moving Toward or Away From Exhaustion? 

This week’s headline items: Mars aligns all week with Chiron, the wounded Healer (exact on Wednesday afternoon); the last Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Jupiter trines Pluto all week long, becoming exact on Sunday evening, and the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Sunday late evening.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for 43 minutes), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 10 hours), Friday late evening (for 33 minutes), and Sunday evening (for almost 8 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, let me invite you…

I will be doing a One-day Yoga/Astrology Retreat with the lovely Sam Lodge in the country, near Robinson Township, outside of Pittsburgh on Saturday, June 29th. Whether you live in the area or would like to come visit, check out my Retreat page for more info! 

==> Sam and I will do an Instagram Live on Friday, May 31st, to answer questions and share about our One Day Retreat; feel free to join us here on Friday around 11:30am EDT to get all the juicy information <==

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 27th:

Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, pragmatic, status-oriented Capricorn until 4:45pm EDT. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

As best as you can, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do”

Monday at 4:02pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for only 43 minutes, until 4:45pm EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to soften your need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late afternoon ahead of time.

Monday at 4:45pm EDT, the Moon moves in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Wednesday evening (May 29th). The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.

Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius.

Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space… Personal freedom becomes paramount.

Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius — and this planet is currently moving through Taurus, making these next two days a great time to look at our physical connection to our own body, finances, and whatever is most important to us on this planet.

It’s also a great time to innovate and make changes in our lives around any physical matters that no longer serve us or keep us stuck in the past; we need to elevate our thinking if we want our bodies and the planet to vibrate at a higher frequency.

Ask yourself: Do I need to give my body something different to raise it to a higher vibration? When I tune in to myself, what insights does my body provide?

Where have I become too rigid in connection with my body, my physical resources, or my talents? Where have I become too comfortable with those things? What is my connection to the Earth? To Nature? Do I need more physical space? More physical movement?

Monday late evening, an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 11:22pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early morning (May 26th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday early morning (May 29th). This could be another opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be honest with ourselves.

How can we get the most from this opportunity? Through honest communication, we have a chance to clear up any misunderstandings.

As best as you can, allow yourself to tune in and transcend your conditioned, automatic responses. A good place to start is with a commitment to better understand your conditioning and thought processes.

If we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality and an ability to focus on long-term issues.

Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, and Virgo, and Saturn rules Capricorn).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 20th:

Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra and VoC until 6:34pm EDT. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.

Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships — ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection and harmony with my desire for self-fulfillment and independence?

Monday until 6:34pm EDT: we are still moving through a very long Moon VoC phase that started on Sunday at 11:48am EDT. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Monday at 8:59am EDT, the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual Taurus to versatile, fast-thinking Gemini, where it will journey until June 20th. With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong.

We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable, and adaptable — which makes us quite social as well.

We enjoy intellectual conversations, and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy.

There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Gemini Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo your vitality will most likely speed up, and you feel more chatty than usual.

Monday at 6:34pm EDT, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday morning (May 23rd). Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.

The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.

The Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”, etc. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies.

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.

Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio — and it is currently transiting through Aquarius, making this a great time to transform our visions for humanity and our future on this planet, in this universe — and to empower ourselves and others within our communities (locally or online).

It’s also a great time to dig deeper into our various networks and connections to like-minded people; so as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations. Does participation in your current groups or networks feel empowering or disempowering? Do I feel a deep emotional alignment with like-minded people in my life? Am I allowing myself to hear the deepest calling of my Soul?

Ask yourself: Where am I looking to create more empowerment in my life? What about the lives of others? How might a self-expressed and courageously heartfelt approach serve my communities and foster better collaborations?

Use this time to create deeper, more empowering emotional connections with like-minded people, especially if you are feeling a disconnect with other networks or affiliations out there in the world. Remember: Love expands us, others, and life. Fear paralyzes!

Try Something Radically Different 

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s Shadow phase ends early Monday. Pluto’s Station phase finally ends on Tuesday, though Pluto continues in retrograde motion until October; the first Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact Wednesday morning; Mercury changes signs, moving from Aries to Taurus on Wednesday afternoon; Mars and the North Node align in Aries late Sunday evening.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week, one of them unusually long: Monday early morning (for almost 1.5 hours), Wednesday early afternoon (almost 5 hours), Saturday early morning (a little over 1 hour), and Sunday late morning (almost 31 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, join us…

This coming Friday at 8am EDT, we will have another Soulivity Today Morning Show: “Hot Astrology Friday“. I will be discussing Hot Astrology Topics with the lovely Brian Westley Johnson ==> get notified here so you don’t miss the Show!

**And if you live in California, listen live via KMET Radio (98.1FM/1490AM) at 8am PST!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 13th: 

Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 6:36am EDT. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-care is key!

Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.

Make sure, though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday around 4:19am EDT, Mercury ends its post-Shadow phase, as it reaches 27º11′ of Aries.

As you may recall, 2.5 weeks ago, on April 25th, when Mercury ended its Retrograde phase, I mentioned the Mercury Shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell, or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct.

This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)

The good news is the Shadow phase ends today (Monday). This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets — or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related).

We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing, and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.

Monday early morning at 5:13am EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for almost 1.5 hours, until 6:36am EDT. Use this intuitive time to be in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored at this time.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.

Monday early morning, a Sun/Uranus alignment in 22 degrees of Taurus becomes exact at 5:14am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 10th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 16th). This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause or similar values.

This is an invitation to radically revise our relationship to the physical plane — from a major reassessment of our core values and sense of worth to how we deal with our money, resources, and the beautiful planet on which we live.

A spiritual shift and a shift in our thinking and perceiving are required — individually speaking and on a collective level! We may have sudden insights into the value of our friendships or networks and how they connect us to a bigger vision.

We seek to move to the next level on the physical plane and must strategize and collaborate with others.

Ask yourself: Where would a new mindset help? What needs to be shaken up? Where do I need to think outside the box and try something radically different?

How might my body inform that shift? How might the planet itself be my guide to shifting my perspectives? My physical frequency?

We are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways.

Our consciousness expands, and we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living — this increased openness to all that is enjoyable and different may bring unexpected opportunities.

Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in Taurus aligned with the Sun asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from honoring ourselves.

It’s time to develop some awareness: What’s mine? What isn’t? What if it were ok to have a different outlook from others? What about different values?

One thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)

Monday at 6:36am EDT, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday early evening. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness …

So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can.

Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days.

What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?

This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the upcoming first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).

Monday afternoon, an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (May 11th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday early morning (May 15th). This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: we are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.

We have a chance to combine a physical enjoyment of life with heart-centered realism and maturity. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to “take” it.

On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments.

There’s no need to rush anything — instead, tune into your intuitive side and think things through carefully and responsibly — do your “due diligence” and stay open-hearted.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

May 6th – 12th

Our Desire for Peace & Physical Comfort 

This week’s headline items: Pluto remains exalted, and Mercury continues to move through its post-Shadow phase all week; a New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday evening — and it’s time to begin acting on our New Moon Intentions on Sunday.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday (begins very early morning and lasts until 5:42pm EDT), Wednesday early evening (for almost 1.5 hours), and Friday late evening (roughly 1.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 6th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries and VoC until 5:42pm EDT. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and have great enthusiasm for new projects.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately. Use this intuitive time to actively connect with others and share yourself.

Monday early evening at 5:42pm EDT, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.

In other words, change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain.

What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.

This Moon placement also starts the build-up to the New Moon (exact on Tuesday evening). Feel free to watch my New Moon video about this new Moon cycle (if you haven’t seen it yet).

Monday late evening, a Mercury/Chiron alignment in 21º of Aries becomes except at 10:27pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (May 2nd) on; it will remain strong until Friday late morning (May 10th). Due to Mercury’s Retrograde phase, we are experiencing this aspect for the third time in 7 weeks.

Think back to March 20th and April 15th, and ask yourself: What did I discover about my human identity or drives at that time? How did I engage with my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being?

Did I experience any triggers? What was I able to communicate about myself and my sensitivities? Was there anything I was not able to share?

This alignment allows us to communicate our flaws, insecurities, and sensitivities and thereby begin to heal them.

Bringing compassion to our past wounds and current sensitivities feels soothing, empowering, and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.

As best as you can, whatever you do or don’t communicate, cut yourself a little slack. Be open to bringing love and understanding to your communications — especially when you are feeling triggered.

Remember: Our past wounding (and ancestral wounding) makes us more sensitive to certain things, and that is why we get triggered

Being human means being “imperfect”; there is no shame in that. Our so-called imperfections open hearts and create and spread compassion, which is precisely what heals everyone’s wounding and sensitivities, including our own.

Ask yourself: Could I give myself 5% more permission to be “imperfect”? Could I acknowledge my sensitivities that stem from past wounding? Could I love myself because of those so-called imperfections and sensitivities?

Double-check: Does blaming or judging myself for being “imperfect” or “overly sensitive” actually serve me? How about when I do that to others? Who is served when I do this?

Could I be open to the possibility that my “imperfections” and sensitivities — whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual — exist to serve not only my personal evolution but also that of humanity? If that were true, what else would need re-evaluating?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo or Gemini (since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).
