It’s the 18th week of the year and the card of the week is the High Priestess.  The High Priestess  appears when you need to listen to the voice inside. If something feels right, it probably is and if it doesn’t, you probably should avoid it if possible. Mercury stations direct on Wednesday, 5/3/17. Prepare to receive some good news and recognition that was delayed. It’s been a long time coming but the only problem is that when you finally get what you want, it may be a little anti-climatic. That’s OK: what you did achieve isn’t small potatoes so be proud of yourself and thankful for the gift.  It’s also Beltane, the celebration of the Earth Mothers’ union with the God in sacred sexual unity. The fertility brought by the pair will provide us with food this growing season. Take time to do something nice for the Earth and thank her for her abundance.
Mantra: I trust I know what to do.

Monday 5/1/17 The Healer
Numerology: 7
Moon in Cancer
Moon Void of Course 1:23 PM PST
Moon Enters Leo 9:12 PM PST
The Healer is an addition to the Tarot deck by Richard Harnett, creator of the Evolutionary Tarot, the deck I will be using in the Forecast for the next few months. The Healer is the feminine counterpart to the Hermit. She is the crone energy that is missing from the traditional Tarot. The healer calls you to pay attention to issues that need attention. If you are experiencing mental or physical pain that you’ve been ignoring, it’s time to get the help you deserve. Don’t be afraid to seek professional help if you need to. Moon opposition Pluto at 3:00 AM PST will bring intense emotions. The upside is that the increased sensitivity will make for meaningful experiences. However, these emotions can also be draining. Moon square Mercury at 11:35 AM PST bring disruptions that cause confusion in communication. Mercury Retrograde is still intensified so this is to be expected. Moon square Uranus at 1:23 PM PST is a rebellious transit that could find you arguing for the sake of disagreement. This is only because under the surface, you desire to break free for what you feel is holding you back. Use this transit to do something new and exciting but since it’s Mercury Retrograde, make sure it’s something simple going to a new shop or trying a new restaurant that won’t have any life changing effects. The Moon begins the day in the healing sign of Cancer where she will go void of course until 1:23 PM PST. She will then enter the shiny sign of Leo at 9:12 PM PST. The number of the day is 7, a number or reevaluation, reinforcing the fact that your mind, body and spirit are calling you to pay attention to it and focus on the areas of your life that need healing.
Mantra: A healthy life is a productive life.

Tuesday 5/2/17 3 of Wands

Moon trine Venus at 12:23 AM PST is a transit of love, art, beauty and creativity. If you are asleep during this transit, this theme may appear in your dreams. Moon sextile Mars at 10:47 AM PST is a sign of bravery and leadership. With the Leo Moon, this is a time to get the attention you’re seeking and stand out to those that matter.

Moon sextile Jupiter at 11:58 PM PST will find you finishing the night on an optimistic upbeat. The number of the day is 8, a number of karma.

Thursday 5/4/17 Hanged Man
Numerology: 1(0)
Moon Enters Virgo 2:47 AM PST
Sometimes after you get what you want, you feel empty because there’s nothing to anticipate any more. There’s even a period where you may feel suspended because there’s sometimes a little bit of a pause between when success comes and when everything moves forward. If you recently achieved something after working hard and waiting for results, enjoy this period of suspension. Soak up that success instead of worrying about what you need to do next. Moon square Mars at 8:15 PM PST is the only direct transit today. This transit can bring irritability and a bad attitude along with it.
