Windless water
As astrologers look to the first half of 2025, we expect chaos. Between November 2024 and July 2025, the moon nodes and all exoplanets will change their mark. Retrogrades of Mercury, Venus and Mars, two solar eclipses, and difficult aspects from the Sun and Mars to Pluto will make April a specific minefield.
It turns out that we are right. Are we not ready to breathe now?
Fortunately, It’s been a while since our astrology weather went well, because it’s this calendar week. Only Pluto is retrograde; there are only three major but easy transits; and there are not even major lungs (to the full moon next week).
This is the astrology of the area near the equator equivalent to the Northeast and Southeast trade winds, which sailors call “sluggish” or “calm” due to its monotonous, windless weather.
Are we ready to get our ship Bob for a moment, and there are few moves of forward and few planetary drama? Monotony may not sound like a fun time, but after a few months of busyness it’s nice to take a moment to catch up with our rest, tinker with our sails and enjoy the stillness.
Overview of the heights
Even though the schedule is already packed, we have no groceries and since we don’t have time to do the laundry, we’re already wearing the same clothes, it’s hard to turn down the tempting opportunity to do more. but Mercury Duo and Jupiter (May 5, 2025, pdt 10:21 am) Remind us that even if Aries may be particularly eager for mercury, we don’t need to seize every opportunity.
Jupiter keeps reminding us that if we don’t seize the opportunity, we are unlikely to grow. But, during this relatively quiet astrology week, the focus is more on repairing the damage from recent severe planetary activity than creating more waves. When we restore strength and repair infrastructure, it is difficult to grow and expand our horizons. Jupiter’s Sabia symbol is 23 Gemini. Three fruits in a tall nest on a tree. Entertainment Jupiter outlines uncommon adventures, but are carried out from a high place safely.
Between love and obsession
Any connection between Venus and Pluto brings a powerful lesson to attraction and control. This week’s Venus – Pluto six minutes (May 6, 2025, 2:31 PM PDT, 3º49’RARIES and Aquarius) Find Venus on Sabian Symbol 4 aries, Two lovers stroll in a secluded walkand Pluto in 4 Aquarius Hindu therapist – A combination that evokes the healing potential of love. Venus’ connection with Pluto is not completely negated, but it does show that we want to get what we want and we may find that we don’t really want what we have.
The connection between Venus and Pluto can be beautiful and soul-filled, symbolizing feelings for things that are difficult to love or people, real love, and the depth of feelings. But it is a combination that must be conscious and carefully treated, because it is a good line that separates deep love from painful obsessions. Pluto absorbs all the oxygen in the room with its one-on-one focus and desire for control. This is not for everyone, especially for Venus in Aries, which is an independent sign that requires breathing space. It’s not always like love.
It’s a fast shipping with only a few days of impact. But, take the time to look at a close relationship. Is it true love or obsession?
Conversation with the physical world
Mercury enters Taurus This week (May 10, 2025, 5:15 pm, PDT, until May 25). Intentionally, Taciturn’s Taurus seems to be well suited for mercury. But this is only our assumption that Mercury’s work is limited to speaking, writing, and dialogue. Mercury is also a planet for perception and learning, and is by no means a planet limited to language.
Taurus mercury symbolizes our conversation with the physical world. What can our bodies teach us? What knowledge do we have about life from the earth? How do we communicate with the world through touch, perfume, beauty?
Having a conversation with things in the physical world – letting them teach us – means letting go of our attachment to our minds. This means slowing down the chronological order so that we can focus on the current moment. Taurus’ mercury is excellent in slowing down. Try not to fight against it. In addition to what is written on the page or speaking in words, there are many things that can occupy Mercury’s curiosity.
