Your Weekly Overview May 7th – May 13th, 2018

Should you let it all hang out or keep it under wraps? That’s the question of the week as the brash Taurus Sun weaves into a dynamic dance with two powerful planets. The “cirque du Soleil” begins on Tuesday with an eye-opening opposition to Jupiter. This muddling influence can make it hard to know where boundaries lie—and when we’re over-sharing or not quite revealing enough. Paradoxically, “live out loud” Jupiter is on tour through secretive Scorpio from October 10, 2017 to November 8, 2018, and currently retrograde until July 10. Since last October, shocking revelations and privacy breaches have surfaced from Scorpio’s molten depths; but in the true, extreme nature of this zodiac sign, these scandals have led to equally empowering movements. More courageous souls may step forward to confess near Tuesday’s Sun-Jupiter opposition, perhaps birthing another hashtag revolution. And with worldly Jupiter in the picture, hidden details about global leadership could emerge. Watch out for swagger—politically and personally. While the Sun-Jupiter face-off can make us all feel like ballers, it can also send us on serious ego trips. Make sure you can back up bold words with action. Pride goeth before a fall! And with Monday’s quarter moon shining its balancing beams into techie Aquarius, no throwing Tweetrums or TMI-ing on your Timeline!

On Friday, the second solar flare beams down as the Sun swings into a powerful trine with alchemical, mystical Pluto. Like a giant flashlight shining on our psyches, this transit can illuminate our buried desires, unconscious needs and even some of our own manipulative behavior. It’s never easy to introspect through this lens, especially if our actions have caused some negative effects. Awareness is the first step in making a change. After getting real about our “mistakes,” this transformational transit helps us rise like the phoenix from the ashes. And it’s not punishment: Cleaning up our self-inflicted messes is an empowering growth experience!

Thoughts (and mouths!) have been moving a mile a minute ever since Mercury lit into firecracker Aries on March 6. And let’s not even get into the signal-jamming intensity of the retrograde from March 22 to April 15… But on Sunday, May 13 we can all take a cosmic chill pill as the mindful messenger planet settles into sensible-yet-sensual Taurus until May 29. No more racing around and reacting to every whim. Wait a beat and let yourself ponder all your options. Even if they sound good on paper, when you picture them playing out, how do they feel in your body? Our physicality carries its own wisdom and Mercury in earthy Taurus can help us tune in. Our precious hours, like our cash, should be invested wisely. Think: practical luxury. After all, value-driven Taurus is also ruled by vivacious Venus. Follow the breadcrumb trail to objects that have an eternal rather than ephemeral quality—like antiques, gems, and family heirlooms. Tuck away the digital devices and enjoy more analog face time during this sweet and simple cycle. And don’t underestimate the language of touch. Holding hands or offering a shoulder rub can make people putty in our hands. And since Mercury is cruising alongside a Taurus moon this Mother’s Day, celebrate your favorite matriarchs in elegant style. How about decadent mani-pedis followed by a gourmet picnic in the park?
