Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Astrology Forecast for the week of May 21, 2017 – May 27, 2017:

We start this week on Sunday with a moon in mysterious, ambiguous Pisces at the midpoint of Saturn and Mars. While this isn’t an easy aspect — it can translate as melancholy or even a bit morose — it does soften some of the tension and frustration that accompanies hard Saturn / Mars aspects.

This week starts with a reasonably a well-aspected Moon / Saturn conjunction and an out of bounds Mars on Sunday. The Moon / Saturn aspect trines Uranus and Mercury — and then squares Chiron — before it goes void of course in the early morning hours.

Eight of Wands

ARIES: Eight of Wands

It may feel like things are moving very quickly for you this month, with your ruler (Mars) in Gemini and in mutual reception with Mercury.

The Eight of Wands — this version from the fabulous Gypsy Palace Tarot — refers to progress, mobility and rapid change, usually for the better. You could be bursting at the seams with new and fresh ideas, juggling interests or overseeing different projects that all seem to be nearing completion at the same time.

This card refers to being decisive, making the most of your time and cutting through whatever distractions stand in your way. There may be a lot going on around you — like the woman in the center of this card — but the Eight of Wands encourages you to remain focused and engaged in the task at hand.

Look at all of the swirling colors in this card. There’s a lot happening there — and certainly some distractions. But there’s also movement, creativity and energy which are hallmarks of this card.

This is also a networking card. It relates to exchanging ideas and interacting with like-minded people. Blogging, disseminating information, and expanding social horizons are all indicated.

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Astrology Forecast for the week of Apr 30, 2017 – May 6, 2017:

This week starts on Sunday with Moon in Gemini — still New — involved in a t-square with Chiron and Saturn, and on the verge of going void of course. The void of course Moon can see you feeling aimless or adrift in a sea of uncertainty, while the aspects to Saturn and Chiron can put a damper on your mood. It can see you questioning the meaning of life — your life in particular.

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of Apr 16, 2017 – April 22, 2017:

We’ve got a busy week ahead with one planet turning retrograde, another planet turning direct and three planets changing signs. We start the week on Sunday, with Venus having just changed direction — from retrograde to direct motion — still stationary and still closely squaring Saturn. This is a complex configuration, with Venus strengthened by its exaltation in Pisces and mutual reception with Jupiter, but weakened by its square to Saturn.

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of Apr 2, 2017 – April 8, 2017:

We start this week on Sunday with Mercury trining the North Node. This aspect is all about developing a comfortable rapport with others. It’s about generating a meeting of the minds and communing with those who are on the same page. As the North and South Nodes are always in opposition, the North Node trines Mercury at the same time it sextiles the South Node.

ARIES: Three of Cups

This month — with several planets moving in and out of your sign — you’re hopefully going to be feeling more fully in your element. This should be a time of renewed opportunities to connect (or reconnect) with loved ones.

The Three of Cups — this version from the wonderful Morgan Greer Tarot — is a joyful and festive card that emphasizes partying and celebrating over work and responsibilities. It also emphasizes friends and casual relationships over serious romantic entanglements.

It refers to being surrounded by like-minded people and putting your differences aside. It’s about coming together and joining forces with those who have your best interests at heart.

The focus is on merriment and gaiety rather than monotony and drudgery. It’s on interacting and networking with others, allowing you to push aside some of your more serious concerns — at least for the time being.

It represents people gathering together to connect, interact and socialize. It’s a happy, joyful energy that can manifest as a party or celebration, or it could be as simple as a girls’ night out.
