May 15: Sun in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces…
The week kicks off with a brief but heady infusion of creative inspiration. Today’s energy may feel fraught, but take this moment of sweetness between the purposeful sun and dreamy Neptune for what it offers: respite from the world’s demands, from eclipse energy. Give yourself the gift of a sweet retreat, the bliss of a 5-minute meditation, or a listen that wonderfully sacrilegious new Florence album.
… & Sun in Taurus square Saturn in Aquarius …
Meanwhile, the sun also tangos in one of its two annual squares to the taskmaster of the zodiac. Our dyke daddy Saturn challenges us. The vision we are aiming for has hurdles to overcome. The word “no” may come. Some challenges feel sticky; this is especially the case when we are dealing with fixed energy, like Taurus and Aquarius, that prefer to have things done their way, that are not particularly yielding. Be gentle with yourself (take that aforementioned Neptunian medicine!) and remember that everyone is also dealing with the same energy you are.
