Horoscopes for May 1st-7th

Energies this week are subtle yet powerful. We are pretty much only working with minor aspects. What does mean for you? Focus on fine-tuned calibrations that can make a big impact. 

Tuesday:

Sun sequiquadrate Saturn

On the bright side you could apply structure to a part of your life that has been wily. But you'll probably do it only because it's been frustrating you.

Sun semisquare Chiron

Turn tension into healing. Walk toward the thing that needs to be healed. 

Wednesday:

Sun sextile Neptune

Totally dreamy. Let love explode out of the top of your head. Send loving prayers to someone who needs them. Allow the pause between thoughts to bring you inspiration.

Thursday:

Mercury direct! 

Back to forward motion means that decisions become easier and there is more room for clarity. Give thanks for cycles. Honor the insights that you had over the last 3 weeks. Did you learn something about your subconscious realm? Word to the wise: the day that a planet stations can be especially retrograde-y. Don't jump into full speed yet! Give things a few days to settle. 

Mercury semisquare Mars,

Um, yeah, what I just said above... don't race ahead yet, go slow. But start to get clear about where you're headed.

Friday:

Sun inconjunct Jupiter

So many minor aspects. This one may make you feel like expansion is frustrated. Take the day off? It is a great day for having someone prod you toward understanding how you can expand. You know that feeling when a friend is trying to encourage you, and there is a part of you that's like, "No way! I can't take up that much space! Scary." Call that friend today.

Saturday:

Mars semisquare Uranus

This adds some speed to the changeable energy we've already been feeling. What needs to change within you? 

I just learned a new hypnosis technique** that I've been doing on myself and I feel like I'm breaking into new territory every 5 hours. Let's let go of the old and upgrade, shall we? Saturday will help.

**This new technique is called subliminal therapy and it works like gangbusters. Schedule a hypnosis session with me and let's get that lasting, positive, change happening for you.
