Astrological Winds of 5-28-12

Mercury continues to be the main activator this week, starting right off on Monday as it sesiquadrates Saturn, quincunxs Pluto and squares Chiron. There can be many frustrating blockages, disconnections, challenges with communications this day. The Moon in Virgo’s First Quarter Square to Sun in Gemini will add to this also. This may be a day where we feel annoyed inside at the  superficiality or frivolousness/sloppiness of others, and may have us feeling intellectually isolated, engaged in heavy thoughts, argumentative with those in power, unable to express what we are thinking and feeling, challenged by what we are learning about ourselves and others, caught in stubborn stand-offs, etc. It would be best to use this energy to challenge yourself to learn from these situations – to take in new information that comes your way via a Sun/Uranus sextile and to examine your own state in relation to it. It’s an odd mix of energy this day that can be both inspiring, yet somewhat isolating inside, and at odds with others at times.

The Sun’s sesiquadrate to Saturn and quincunx to Pluto on Tuesday will continue Monday’s energy and you may find yourself overwhelmed with burdens and duties when you return from the holiday weekend. Those with authority over you may be breathing down your neck immediately today and expect more production. Ideas you have may be blocked or forced to conform into something more conservative/systematic. You may find yourself struggling inside over whether what you are doing is really worth it in light of deeper things. Mistakes you made last week will need to be dealt with and taken responsibility for.

Wednesday’s Mercury square to Mars can be downright ornery – tempers that are bottled up inside from past two days may explode in fits/words of rage at others we’ve perceived as doing us wrong. Be aware the ego is very highly involved right now and we may regret what we say today quickly, as we have a chance to really hurt ourselves in some way, especially with the Sun square Chiron too. It may be difficult to regain your image for quite some time if you go overboard in reactions today. Any communications/interactions we have today may be touchy at best, and nasty at worst.

Thursday is pretty quiet, although a Moon/Saturn conjunction can have emotions still bottled up inside/feeling restricted.

Friday, Mercury crashes into Venus Retrograde, which can bring a big interest in the arts in some form this weekend, either through self-involvement, or going out to see others’ works. This is also a good time for lovers to hash out/talk out any situations that need figuring out jointly, or even for business deals.

Saturday is quiet also, although with Moon sextile Mars it’s a great day to get some home projects/work done.

Sunday, Mercury trines Saturn – this is a great day to make some detailed plans for future whether planning a vacation, organizing your life in some way, taking care of some important paperwork/negotiation, look at situations objectively, work out details, learn from those with more experience, and work on practical answers to problems.

Next week, we have a Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon at 14* Sagittarius, Neptune going retrograde, and the Sun’s conjunction with Venus, which you’ll be hearing about in press from astronomers all week as Venus actually “eclipses” the Sun.
