On This Week's Podcast...
This Week in Astrology, Episode 211, 5/16/11
Click here to listen now! There are 13 significant astrological events this week -- that's a lot! An intense Scorpio Full Moon is a headliner, while three planets in close proximity -- Mercury, Venus & Mars -- trine Pluto and sextile Chiron. Mercury conjuncts Venus and Mars, and the Sun enters the Sign of the Twins.
Guest astrologer Kelly Lee Phipps brings his trademark wisdom and enthusiasm to an in-depth discussion of the Jupiter-Saturn "Great Conjunction" Cycle, the subject of his new e-book. Better yet, this is just Part 1 of Benjamin's two-part interview with the man who helped him become a professional astrologer!

Celestial Forecast for May 16-22
by Benjamin Bernstein
Whatever your sun sign, this forecast will help you choose how to best use the current astrological energies! Events are most powerful on the dates listed. However, their influence will be active for at least several days before and after. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone.
While everyone is affected by these global transits, you will be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate natal planets and other sensitive points in your birth chart.
VOID-OF-COURSE MOONS. It's best to avoid starting important new projects or making major purchases during these times. "Business as usual" is the best strategy for these periods, which occur when the Moon has made its last major Ptolemaic aspect but has not yet moved into the next sign. Learn more here.
5/17, 7:09 am - 1:24 pm (Sagittarius)
5/19, 10:18 am - 4:17 pm (Capricorn)
5/21, 5:05 pm - 10:33 pm (Aquarius)
5/16 (Mon). With Mercury and Venus both sextile Neptune, you'll benefit by requesting intuitive guidance on matters that relate to our currently emphasized themes: relationships, money, creativity and communication. Then muster up the courage to follow it!
Mercury and Venus are also conjunct in Taurus today. Harmonious communication is supported, especially if you take a calm, methodical approach.
5/17 (Tue). May's Full Moon shines forth today at 7:09 AM (26°13' Scorpio). Ask yourself how "full-filled" you are in the areas of personal transformation, occult practice, research and investigation, psychology and joining resources with others, and make appropriate adjustments. This Full Moon has the potential to be intense and challenging, since it receives perdominantly challenging aspects from most of the outer planets. But its very lack of subtlety makes it easy to identify the areas where you need to focus.
Outdated structures (Saturn semi-square)? Repair or discard. Is something you don't truly need dissolving out of your life (Neptune square)? Let it go. Are you receiving instructions from your Higher Self (Uranus trine)? Follow them to the letter! This Full Moon's Sabian Symbol is, "A Military Band Marches Noisily On Through The City Streets." One function of military bands is to generate excitement and support for aggressive campaigns, and there are plenty of those these days! Remember that you always have a choice whether to cheer on the parade - or maintain your peace and equilibrium as it passes by.
5/18 (Wed). Abundant, steady energy is available for mentoring and healing with Taurean Mars sextile Chiron.
5/19 (Thu). Mercury sextiles Chiron a day after Mars, amplifying opportunities for mentoring and healing.
5/20 (Fri). Chiron receives its third sextile in three days, this time from Venus. Mentoring and healing activities are reinforced even more strongly!
When was the last time you and your lover took several hours just to adore and luxuriously stimulate every inch of each other's bodies? There's great energy for this with Taurean Mars trine Pluto. Or you could choose to get a whole lot of work done instead!
Mercury is also trine Pluto today, smoothing the way for transformational, down-to-earth communication. (Or sweet whispers in your lover's ear...)
There's a reason Mars and Mercury are both trine Pluto today: they're conjunct in Taurus! This can energize volatile communication, especially if your self-esteem or security feels threatened. But it can also positively energize communication, particularly around practical matters.
5/21 (Sat). The Sun is in Gemini 5/21 through 6/21, beaming the energies of learning, communication, playfulness, tricksterism, variety and verbosity.
Sensual and erotic energy is once again in the air, with Taurean Venus trine Pluto. This aspect also supports financial abundance and creative inspiration.
5/22 (Sun). The more you tune into your intuition, the less likely it is that a Sun-Neptune square will catalyze illusion or deception in your life. On the high side, focusing on divine connection, creative inspiration and loving others unconditionally are strongly supported!
