The Sun, the Lunar Nodes and a Blue Moon – This Weeks Astrology

“Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.” Marsha Norman

“Once in a blue moon
There’s a thing called happiness
It happens when you’re in
A natural state of grace.” Van Morrison

At the beginning of the week the Sun, now in early Gemini will be forming a harmonious alignement with Neptune, the planet of dreams and the imagination. At the same time the Sun will be  squaring the Lunar Nodes in Virgo and Pisces.

In astrology the Nodes are considered an important crossroad. Neptune’s influence presents a good opportunity to expand the way you think of your life and your visions of who your are becoming. . With the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo, compassion and empathy for yourself is the road to take.

Mars, at 8 degrees of Taurus has been slowly moving away from his conjunction with Chiron and moving up to a square with Pluto. Chiron with Mars  can speak of wounded power or the need to assert yourself in ways you many not have done before. Mars square Pluto is a very different  blend of energies.It’s a good week to stay busy and to do things that require physical work. There’s plenty of energy for that. It is eay, however,  to get drawn into conflict when these two are together. Power struggles can be on the table.

The Sun will be forming a harmonious aspect to Pluto. This is a good time to move forward with any change or transformation you are trying to effect in your life.

Venus is moving up to a square with Saturn this week. Saturn brings restriction and under this influence there can be concerns about a lack of Venus -ruled things- like money and  love. This week as with last week, provides a good time to strengthen self esteem and to be in touch with your own value.

The second Full Moon this month – a Blue Moon -is on May 31st at 4:45 AM EDT.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Deep within the depths of the earth, new elements are being formed. ”
