Cinco de Mayo Cosmic Conjunction: The sun forms a conjunction with rebellious Uranus on this day of remembrance for the time a Mexican army was outnumbered yet prevailed with the victory in the Battle of Puebla of 1862. In the United States, the 5th of May is an opportunity to celebrate Mexican culture and heritage, in this case, under a patriotic Cancer moon.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
The point of putting some of life on autopilot is to conserve energy for what you’d love to give your attention to. You’ll be transferring more habits to the no-think zone as you ready yourself for something big and juicy.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Whenever you put yourself or your work on the line, you risk rejection. Ultimately, this is the risk that will make you see yourself better. And seeing yourself allows you to align with the needs of those around you.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Many limitations are illusions, and you must alter your perception to see your way past, through or around them. Keep trying to see it different ways. Get close, back off, go cockeyed... you’ll find it eventually.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
The longer a story is, the more entertaining it should be. Humor helps, but the most important thing of all is to read the room. A good match of message to audience can be a game changer.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Choose and then let go of the other options. This is the way of power and grace. Regret, rumination, comparison and the like are habits of weakness. Rule out these disempowering options.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)
Gentle forces will outlast volatile ones because intensity is hard to sustain. Fires die. Volcanos expire. Tornados disperse. For millions of years the placid lake remains
CANCER (June 22 to July 22)
The interaction you’ve been worried about will come together beautifully and you’ll have a sense of satisfaction akin to flipping an omelet at the exact right moment.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Solar circles and social circles both run on principles of attraction. Usually, you follow your instincts on such matters, but today your conscious awareness of what some people like will also play into the decision-making.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)
To lay your heart on the line would normally require courage, though today it just requires math; the potential gain from expressing your feelings is worth the risk.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 23)
Just work and unexpected a trend! when you think your hard is going unappreciated, praise appreciation will come from directions. This is the start of
SCORPIO (October 24 to November 21)
Any work you do to wrangle and order your scattered thoughts will contribute to your success. Tell yourself what you’re going to think about, write it down, and then keep reminding yourself to stay on track with that line of thought.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21)
More than anyone else in the entire world, you know what it’s like to be you. Use this to guide key decisions. As for the others, it will be fine to let them figure out what’s right for themselves.
