A star is your light in the darkness

Data is rolling in at breakneck speed from multiple sources since Messenger Mercury entered the sign of Gemini May 7th. Mercury loves to be in Gemini because it’s all about ideas. 

Your mind is sharp, yet having moments of overloaded circuits. Fire signs--Aries, Leo, Sagittarius--may think you got a sudden case of hyperactivity. Earth signs may feel sluggish--Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn--and will have to dig deeper into your vocabulary to get your point across. Air signs--Gemini, Libra, Aquarius--are in an intellectual heaven. Water signs--Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces--can expected garbled communications but with a chance for do-overs.

May 11th it’s a red letter day for relationships, which could heat up Mother’s Day gatherings with lively debates (Mercury in Gemini is the king of the debate club!). But the heat really comes from Venus in Aries calling out Mars in Libra for a showdown about who’s the boss. It's a “discussion” about integrating the seemingly opposing forces of taking care of your own personal needs and also honoring the needs of your partner. Venus and Mars are looking for a win-win solution that doesn’t require sacrifice, doesn’t require giving in to avoid conflict, and allows both to be leaders without me-first. In other words, you and your partner must co-create your own unique solution. Together.

Seriousness steps in, dragging his wet blanket, as the Full Moon in Scorpio arrives May 14th. This Moon has an intensity that could feel heavy with duty and obligation. This is especially true for water signs, since you already swim in the boundaryless waters of emotions. As we approach this Full Moon, issues will arise about the right use, not abuse, of power. Scorpio’s influence is often experienced as an obsession or compulsion that you can’t quite explain. The answer? Let go of the need to control. It’s an illusion anyway!

Put your faith in Love, the true force of our universe. It’s the red thread that connects us all, tying you to those you’ve made agreements with for this lifetime. They may sometimes look more like foe than friend, until you shine your light into their darkness.
