Aries Aries

Let the games begin. After a seven-month slog, your ruler Mars has finallyyyyy cleared the shadow from his retrograde on May 1st. It’s the Universe’s version of greasing the wheel’s ~ the faster the better. With Mars also in fellow fire sign Leo, you are starting to feel like yourself again. In fact, some of you may have even forgotten what it felt like to feel like you. Loving Venus is also in Aries and will recover her shadow from the retrograde on May 15th. You are being rewarded for something this month as these two intermingle in mutual fire signs and gift you with more love, connection, creative capacity and overall magnetism. In fact, Mars and Venus will be moving in simpatico for the next three weeks. Your light is sure to be shining and attracting plenty of attention. Pluto, the big brother of your ruler Mars, shifted retrograde on Sunday, May 4 for the next five months, which in a way can feel like you’ve been given a time-out from some of the tough stuff. It will still keep you deeply inside your journey but will allow you to see everyone’s M.O. more clearly, including your own. But it is a compatible blending of energy with Mars and Venus so lit up this month, as it keeps you moving forward but also reaching a deeper vein than before. The yearly Full Moon in Scorpio on Monday, May 12, will be opposing Uranus in Taurus, and with it comes an intensity that will have you feeling e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g, full throttle, which is a good thing because not only everything will be out in the open, you can finally heal something for good. This keeps the path clear and saves precious time. Of course, Venus, the ruler for Uranus in Taurus and the Sun as well, and Mars are aligned with great passion and strength, giving your solid connections even more substance and significance in your life, with an opportunity to deepen those relationships as well. Mercury exits Aries and enters grounded Taurus on Saturday, May 10, to have you cultivating conversation with the ones you love ever more.
