Eclipse Ripples: Astrology Forecast May 7th-14th, 2023

May 8th, 2023

This week the repercussions and realignments from last Friday’s Scorpio lunar eclipse will start to ripple through your life for the next 6 months up to the eclipse on October 14th. In the eclipse dust fallout, not everything will be clear, so wait until Mercury stations direct in Taurus on May 14/15^th before taking any permanent decisions or passing judgments on events.

Pay attention to your finances and resources as the markets fluctuate when Mercury changes direction conjunct the Node of Fate and Jupiter, having pivoted with a conjunction to unpredictable Uranus on May 9^th.This is part of the mounting financial volatility being stoked by Pluto at 1 Aquarius opposite Mars at the end of Cancer, square the karmic Node of Fate conjunct Jupiter in Taurus opposite the South Node of Fate in Scorpio-a once in 240 years+ alignment lasting through June.

Knowing this in advance:

• start generating, stabilising and cultivating your personal security as much as you can
• futureproof your support systems
• take concrete, practical steps to becoming self-supporting and self-sustaining – what are you going to do differently starting now? What transferable skills can you learn?

It’s time for self-sufficiency, autonomy, independence, being brave, taking action, moving forward.

Chandra Symbol Mercury Direct Taurus 5: 

Tiny porcelain figures of people.

“The inner worlds seem small when you first encounter them. They are hidden in a teacup. Yet when you enter upon their Mysteries, they prove to be bigger than the world. Only when we feel safe to drop into the deeper secret place do we live the domain of this degree. The rest of the time, it will not show anything. It becomes the most extremely ordinary vibration in the world. At night, in dreams, on vacation, in childhood, or perhaps on the inside, we live a different life here. We work on inner places for the good of the planet. We become at one with everything which keeps the balance. For we are the ones who know these things, who feel these ways, who cannot deny what the voices whisper.”

Aries Weekly Forecast: May 7-14, 2023

Your money-both getting it and spending it- is going to be a big focus for you for the next 12 months. This week, as Mercury slows to turn forward in Taurus and the Sun conjuncts unpredictable Uranus, do an audit of your incomings and outgoings and, more importantly, of any limiting beliefs you still hold around money or earning.
