Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of May 8, 2016 – May 14, 2016:

This week starts with a relatively uneventful Sunday and a jam-packed Monday, as far as transits go. First of all the Sun conjuncts Mercury in Taurus. This is a recurrence of an earlier conjunction (in Aries) when Mercury was still moving forward, but now it’s retrograde and making a second pass. The third pass — once Mercury turns direct again — will occur two months from now (on July 6th) and then will repeat this cycle in the fall.

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of May 1, 2016 – May 7, 2016:

We start the week with a Sun / Neptune sextile — in Taurus and Pisces respectively — on Sunday. This aspect can increase your sensitivity to outside influences and leave you feeling more susceptible to psychic impressions. It can be just what you needed to start your week on a mellow note — so mellow in fact that you may decide to sleep in and lounge around the house rather than rushing to prepare for a new work week.

While things may be slowing down a bit astrologically this week, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be any less eventful. We’re still dealing with both Mars and Pluto stationary (and both slowly moving backwards — or retrograde — through their signs) and by the end of the week 5 planets in retrograde — for the first time in over 10 years.

It’s going to be an eventful week for us all astrologically, starting with Mars turning stationary retrograde on Sunday at 12:14 UT (or 8:14am EDT). Mars turning retrograde can mark the onset of a challenging time, as the planet that represents moving full speed ahead suddenly puts its foot on the brake and then throws itself into reverse.

This week is made up of a host of Mercury transits — some good and some not so good. Either way, there’s an ongoing theme of networking and interacting with others, as well as exchanging information and ideas.

The Sun also continues moving through Aries, the sign of its exaltation (and just past the degree of its exaltation, at 19° Aries). This is a powerful transit and may be just what’s needed to overshadow some of the more difficult aspects, such as a Moon / Mars opposition on Sunday with Mercury in hard aspect to them both.

This week starts with a reasonably well-aspected Moon in Aquarius on Sunday. It sextiles Mars, the Sun and Saturn before the day is through. These planets all work well together, with the Moon in innovative, unconventional Aquarius, Mars and Saturn in expansive, optimistic Sagittarius and the Sun and in fiery, dynamic Aries.

We start the week on Sunday with a Moon in Scorpio sextiling Pluto and trining Venus. The Moon is debilitated in Scorpio but works very well with these transits — joining the planets that relate to love and sex with the Moon’s natural inclination toward closeness and intimacy.

We start this week with the Sun moving into Aries on Sunday — marking onset of the Vernal Equinox and the first day of Spring. The Sun in Aries signals a time to come alive and see the world through brand new eyes. It’s a time for embracing life fully, without fear or trepidation.
