Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello and welcome to
Pisces Moon Astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hello and welcome to the weekof May 4th through May 10th.
This is a week of inspiredideas and powerful love and a
(00:26):
lot of other things as well, butwhat I'm going to be looking at
is, on May 5th, we've gotMercury that's our minds,
thoughts, ideas, communication,all the stuff forming a sextile
with expansive, lucky Jupiter,and then the very next day, on
(00:47):
May 6th, we've got Venus,goddess of love, I don't have to
tell you that sextiling theretrograding Pluto.
So it's a whole lot oftransformation and power and
inspiration and growth.
And, yeah, that sounds great.
Right, it's about time.
(01:07):
Before I get into all of thelittle details, little details,
this is a big week.
Before I get into all the bigdetails, are you over on
Substack?
Because if you're not, why not?
It's totally free and you getmy weekly column over there.
The good thing about doing thatis it's the easiest way to
actually talk to me in thecomments and all of that.
(01:29):
So go on over.
And I am still collaboratingwith Jackie Tempera, who does
horoscopes.
I don't know how to make thatsound so that you get it that
it's the W-H-O-R-E horhoroscopes.
Anyway, she does that overthere.
We're doing that in acollaboration and, yeah, you can
(01:51):
find her on Substack as well.
All right, so now let's talkabout the week.
Thank you for being here.
By the way, I never say that upfront and I just want you to
know.
Yeah, thank you for being here.
Before I get into the twosextiles this week, just to let
you know, we're going to havePluto stationing retrograde in
(02:12):
Aquarius on May 4th.
So that's going to have to dowith a lot of do-overs since
Pluto's entered Aquarius.
So kind of think about whatkind of power issues have been
going on, because you're goingto probably be redoing,
rethinking them in some way.
But on the fourth, just knowthat when a planet stations
(02:34):
either retrograde or direct,it's like it is holding still.
Of course, all of these areoptical illusions, right, but
nevertheless it appears to usthat it is holding still in the
sky.
While it's doing that, it islaser beaming us right, it's not
moving, it's not like a fluidenergy, it's just pounding us
(02:56):
right there.
So if you have any planets inthose early degrees of Aquarius,
in those early degrees ofAquarius, you may be feeling a
lot of Pluto stuff this week,just saying Then, on the 10th,
we've got Mercury moving intoTaurus.
It's an interesting placement.
Mercury is about our thoughts,our communication, all of that
(03:20):
kind of stuff, and our plansright, making plans.
Taurus is about comfort andsecurity.
So making plans to find morecomfort in our lives, in our
experiences, and also new ideasabout security, keeping
ourselves safe, those kinds ofthings.
(03:41):
Interesting to consider that inthe current political climate,
right?
Anyway, that's all I got to sayabout that, but it is going to
be a big, big time for Taurusideas.
So if you've got your chartsout, you know you want to see
where these aspects are hittingyou in your natal chart.
We're going to be focused onAries, gemini and Aquarius.
(04:06):
So identify those in your natalchart because that's where
you're going to be most directlyimpacted.
So, before we even get into theactual planets, let me remind
everybody about what sextilesare.
They are angles of opportunity.
They're positive, they areabsolutely positive, but they
(04:27):
don't just bring the positivity,they don't just like boom,
here's your blessing, right?
They're angles of opportunity.
So a positive thing some kindof positive energy is going to
be presented and you can take itor leave it.
If you take it, it will be good.
If you reject it or just let itgo by, I don't mean I reject
(04:51):
you.
I just mean if you let it go by, if it's not what you're into
this week or whatever, no harm,no foul.
It's not like if you don'taccept it there's any kind of
negativity.
Nope, you just don't getwhatever gift it might be
offering.
Okay, so be looking for theenergy, and it's my advice to
(05:13):
seize it when it comes your way,because it will turn out well,
all right.
So let's start with I love thisone a lot On May 5th, we've got
that sextile between Mercuryand again, that's our thoughts,
our ideas, communication.
But Mercury is also a lot to dowith business transactions,
(05:36):
signing contracts.
All of that is connected toMercury as well.
And then Jupiter.
We all know what Jupiter is.
It is the greater benefic.
It's about expansion.
It's about big visions, right.
It's about inspiration.
It's spirituality.
Remember, jupiter is theoriginal and true ruler of
(05:59):
Pisces.
It's the most blessed planet.
It's good luck.
It's the most blessed planet.
It's good luck.
It's the guru, so it's acertain kind of wisdom as well,
right?
So let's talk about what couldbe coming up when we put these
two planets together.
Mercury is in Aries, so theideas we're talking about here,
(06:23):
these are my ideas, right?
Each of us, not mine, yours.
You get what I'm saying.
These are our ideas.
These are thoughts that maybewe've had that we felt like, oh,
that'll never work, nobody willbuy into this.
Or I've got this business ideathat you know, it's kind of a
(06:44):
long shot.
Or writers you writers outthere, mercury is your planet.
So you know, I wanted to writethis thing, but it's too
experimental, it's too big, it'stoo outlandish.
Whatever it is, they'reauthentic ideas to us that maybe
are so uniquely ours or so kindof outside our norm that we
(07:10):
haven't had the courage tolaunch them.
Mercury in Aries says, oh yeah,bring it, I got this, this is
my idea and I will stand up forit.
Right, because Aries is a Marsruled sign, it's a warrior, it's
the me, me, me sign, right?
So we've got these ideas,they're our ideas, uniquely ours
(07:32):
, and we've got the courage tostand up for them.
Then we get Jupiter in Gemini,in this sextile.
So I already said, jupiter isgood luck.
Inspiration, almost like we'rechanneling the universe, you
know, it's like really bringingthis other dimension to these
(07:55):
thoughts, ideas, whatever it isthat we're working with.
Gemini is social.
Gemini is about let'scommunicate these things.
Do you see how great this is?
Mercury rules Gemini, so it'ssuper blessed.
(08:17):
Mercury is the host, and sohe's giving all his blessings in
that direction, because that'shis home sign, and it's about
communication.
Gemini is the social butterflysign.
It wants to go out there andtake this show on the road and
talk to people and marketwhatever it is right.
So this is like our uniqueideas, that we're finally
(08:37):
willing to go to bat for beingblessed by Jupiter, and we're
being asked to communicate them.
So it's like I was too scared totell anyone.
Now Aries is giving me thestrength and Gemini is just
giving me that energy of, likesocial connectedness.
I'm going to talk to my agent,my boss, my friend, my lover, my
(08:59):
mother, whatever it is,whatever this is all about for
you, depending on what housesare impacted, now, we're going
to all get this in a general way.
So if you don't get the housesystem and you're like what,
though?
It's okay, go read, substackmore, you'll get there.
You'll get there, but we'll getthis in a general way.
You'll know it when you see it.
(09:19):
This is not subtle, becauseAries is involved and you'll see
, this opportunity where thisidea I have, that person who is
the right person for me to tellit to, just walked in the door
right, just came up in my socialmedia feed Gemini loves the
internet and especially socialmedia.
(09:42):
You know whoever that importantperson is that can give us kind
of a leg up, or, by partneringwith them, we can really launch
this thing.
Now, again, this is anopportunity that will arise.
You do not have to take it, butI think you will, because Aries
is going to embolden you andJupiter is going to bless you.
(10:07):
I love this so much.
I love this so much and I wouldlove it a lot if, after
whatever this thing is, you gotell me about it in the comments
in sub stack, so I know what'sgoing on for all of you.
I love hearing your stories.
But anyway, oh, and just becausethis Venus is what I'm going to
(10:28):
talk about next, but justbecause this isn't about
relationship or love based onthe planets, if you have Aries
or Gemini as your seventh housesign, that is relationships.
So just because these planetsaren't directly connected to
(10:48):
relationship doesn't mean you'renot going to be asserting your
ideas about how you want to seeyour relationship or how you
want to experience it, or travelplans you have that you'd like
to share with your partner,because that could come up if
it's hitting you in your seventhhouse.
(11:08):
Does that make sense?
For most of us, this is not arelationship thing.
But May 6th it's all aboutrelationships, because that's
where we get Venus also in Aries.
Okay, so we've got Mercury andVenus both making sextiles from
Aries, empowered, going for whatI want, putting myself first.
(11:33):
Both of these sextiles arecoming from that sign.
Okay.
So May 6th, we've got Venus inAries sextiling Pluto, who has
just turned retrograde inAquarius.
Okay, now don't get scaredabout it being Pluto, the god of
(11:54):
the underworld, right?
You know the one who did youwhat with Persephone?
Pluto is also about power anddeep transformation.
And here's the thing this is asextile, not an opposition.
We've just come through thatMars-Pluto opposition.
(12:16):
That is a fight, right, that isa fight.
This is not a fight.
He's not.
Pluto is not opposing us.
So it's good to have powerfulfigures on your side.
This is a whole different ballgame with Pluto.
So this power, this deeptransformation, he's offering it
(12:36):
to us as support.
It's not about taking us down,right.
It's not about grabbing us anddragging us to the underworld.
This is super good.
I'm kind of loving it.
So let's start with Venus,though, because this is a really
, really interesting Venus.
She is moving direct, but she'snot out of her retrograde
(12:58):
shadow.
Remember that retrograde?
She went into the pre-shadowphase in January, so we're still
there.
She's not done.
I will let you know.
She's out of retrograde shadownext week.
So hold on.
We are almost through thisthing, which will be a really
good idea because it's been allthat back and forth stuff, right
(13:21):
?
Anywho, we're still in it.
She's making her third pass overthese degrees of Aries.
Grab your calendars or yourdiaries, or wherever you keep
track of what's going on in yourlife.
She went through these degreesfirst, so this was her first
(13:41):
direct pass on February 9th and10th you may have to adjust that
for your time zone, but rightaround then, february 9th and
10th.
Then she went through and sheretrograded back on March 21st,
22nd Again, adjust for your timezone.
What was going on for you then?
(14:02):
Because now she's there again,right?
So there's going to be somefinality to whatever was going
on during those other two passes, because this is her last time
over these degrees.
All right, only, you knowwhat's going on there.
Look to your Aries house.
It had something to do withthat house.
(14:24):
Now we're going to complete thatstory and we're getting this
leg up, this support from Pluto,who's over in Aquarius.
And remember, not only are wekind of getting the do-over vibe
because of Venus being in herthird pass, but Pluto's also in
(14:46):
retrograde.
So there's something also wherewe may find that we had some
conflict with someone, a powerfigure, somebody who was in
authority or whatever, and nowwe're going to get that do-over
because Pluto also isretrograding and he's thinking
(15:07):
or not, also retrograding.
Venus is not retrograding,she's going direct, but in
shadow.
Pluto is retrograding, so he'sgetting that like wait, let me
rethink how that all turned out.
Do you get what I'm saying?
It's complicated, but it'spretty unified as well, where
there's a big old do-over orcompletion kind of energy to
(15:32):
this.
All right, and I mean, we knowwhat Venus is about, but
remember that it's not only love, she's all relationships.
So that's friendships,relationships with family
members, especially sisters,because Venus rules both
relationships and sisters.
She's very, very connected tothe mother as well, especially
(15:56):
if you were born at night, butshe's also beauty, she's luxury,
she's comfort and she's art.
Now, I mentioned earlier aboutMercury being the planet of
writers, but if you are acreative writer, venus is also
(16:17):
for you.
So Mercury is all kinds ofwriting, venus is art.
So all of you visual artists,creative writers, actors,
singers, musicians she's yourgirl.
So she rules a lot of things,but they all have to do with
(16:39):
ease.
Venus rules Libra, remember,bringing elements together,
bringing people together,smoothing out situations, right.
And she rules Taurus, andTaurus is all about that fixed
earth sign of the bull.
Taurus is all about comfort andstability and that kind of
thing.
So that's Venus.
(17:00):
We all know Venus and actuallywe all know Pluto as well, god
of the underworld.
He is power, he's big power,right, but he's also deep
transformation, and thatconnects to the Persephone myth,
where he brings Persephone intothe underworld, but then she
(17:20):
gets to come back.
Then she gets to come backbringing springtime to the
planet.
So it's that bringing thingsfrom deep inside into the light
so that they can bloom andblossom.
Think about your relationship,think about your art project.
Venus has a lot to do withmoney too, especially money,
(17:42):
that's sort of extra money thathas to do with comfort and
luxury and that kind of stuff,so bringing it into the light.
There's something veryexpansive, and we're bringing
these Venusian elements into thelight so that they can bloom
(18:04):
and flower and become more.
Again.
Let's not lose track of Aries.
This has a lot to do withmaking our demands, our demands
that have to do with ourauthentic needs.
You are going to expressyourself If it's relationship
(18:24):
and for a lot of us, the Venusone I know is going to be about
relationship this is about youstanding in your power, but
remember, pluto's not fightingyou this time, he's supporting
you.
So this is about you saying Iwant this relationship with you,
my lover, my mother, my sister,my friend, whoever it is, my
(18:45):
child, whoever it is, I need XYZfrom this relationship and we
will have that support.
And then we get to thetransformative power of Pluto,
right, not only will we besupported yes, supported in
getting our needs met, becausewe're expressing our needs,
(19:06):
aries, right, we are going to bedeeply transformed and that
relationship is going to bedeeply transformed, right,
because that's Pluto when he'sgood.
We're going to bring this outinto the light and it's going to
flower our art, ourrelationships, our money,
(19:26):
whatever it is, but we ourselvesare going to be deeply
transformed from the act ofasking for what we want, you
know, of standing in our ownpower and expressing our
authentic voices.
This is an amazing week,everyone, and I love it that
(19:47):
there's something that is bothsuper powerful about it Aries,
pluto, all that stuff but it'salso gentle.
These are opportunities.
These are opportunities that wecan take or leave, and I love
that's a certain kind of powerin its own right.
We can just say like, yeah, Ihave the opportunity to make new
(20:12):
art and I just don't want to.
Hey, you do you?
I have the opportunity totransform this relationship and
now I don't choose to do thatthis week.
That's okay.
If you don't want to, you don'thave to, because it's that kind
of week and you will not bepenalized for it.
I hope all of that makes sense.
(20:33):
Next week, venus comes out ofher retrograde shadow and it's
all systems go.
So that's a good thing andthat's part of what we're
leading up to with this Venussextile this week.
Anywho, that's all I got forthis week.
Thank you so much.
I ask that you please share thepodcast.
That would be the greatest giftyou could give me, and if you'd
(20:55):
like to book a reading tobetter understand your own chart
, if you click down below,somewhere in the show notes,
you'll find a way to do that.
So thank you, that's all I'vegot to say.
So until next week, go out andseize the energies of the stars.
This is my wish for you always,and I know you will this week.
(21:18):
Anyway, until then, bye.
