Key
Aspects:
Mercury
squares Saturn May 3 at 3:51 PM EDT/ 12:51 PM PDT from 1 Gem 40. While
Saturn is stationary, this suggests cautious words, words held back, and
transportation delays.
Sun squares
Neptune May 14 at 11:52 AM EDT/ 8:52 AM PDT from 24 Tau 12. Things blurry,
out of focus. Inspiration, meditation, deception.
Venus squares
Neptune May 20 at 2:29 AM EDT/ May 19 at 11:29 PM PDT from 24 Tau 14.
Chiron also at 21 Aqu. Romantic fantasy, feelings of harmony and union.
Sun
squares Saturn May 22 at 2:26 PM EDT/ 11:26 AM PDT from 2 Gem 01. After
the dreaming and illusions of the Sun square Neptune May 14 (see above),
now everything must come back to earth.
Venus squares
Saturn May 26 at 1:11 PM EDT/ 10:11 AM PDT from 2 Gem 09. Muted colors,
cold feelings, a party of one.
