OVERVIEW:
The effects of Neptune turning retrograde this weeky are to dissolve the moorings of the psyche to the earth and hopefully to return it to its more celestial original state, but if one is too grounded to begin with such a process could prematurely disconnect them from “reality”. One may be feeling rather confused and possibly ill as physical toxicities may flare as well. As I write this I am hearing about a mine collapse that trapped 50 miners in China, but it was covered up for five days because they didn't want the public to know about it. We can see here how Neptune rules deception and the motivations behind it. Be aware……

In other areas, Saturday May 27 looks to be the “worst” astrologically. Be careful about unethical, inappropriate, and downright menacing behaviors coming out of us all. Saturday would be a good day however to tackle a big project that by necessity demands our total focused resources…..

Monday, May 22
Despite today's other astrology majorly addressed in the overview section, there could be some significant relationship developments occurring. Be presentable. Realize however that nothing felt or observed (through the prism of the human consciousness) could be actually real due to Neptune's retrograde station today. Maybe something seem to be real and that is good enough for now, greater revelations and amendments to those conclusions and assumptions will come appropriately soon enough. (Neptune stationary retrograde, Juno tridecile Jupiter)

Tuesday, May 23
Love, passion, and karma come together. Some new flame that ignites between two people may have its roots in previous relationship histories; whether that be 3 months ago or 3 lifetimes. Overall the ardor of life is ignited and wets our appetite to start new projects and activities. Sometimes however zeal for something is not enough, a little groundwork planning and organization needs to be there also. Zeal can be so “here now, and gone tomorrow” as well. The best way to channels today's astrology would be to take your honey on a hike or trip; or gather around people whom you to be hard working earnest people who like to make good things happen. Early on there might be some unusual and/or inspiring dreams and visions. (Venus square Mars, Mars tridecile Jupiter, Sun sextile Node)

Wednesday, May 24
Some of the relationship themes from yesterday continue, today however probably not as urgently but rather more subtly. Verbal and intellectual acuity should be strong, the ability to convince or persuade others will be enhanced. (Venus square Juno, Mercury quincunx Jupiter)

Thursday, May 25
Again more relationship-themed configurations. Today deep psychological undercurrents will be detectable, deduced by circumstance and dynamics of relationship scenarios right now. Nevertheless, a very strong and powerful love-track will be in effect. It could be subtle and much into the physical side. What feels so right today may give pause to reconsider down the road some. (Venus trine Pluto)

Friday, May 26
Unusual or radical ideas may stir the minds of many today. Intellectual unrest might be fertile ground for social change. People may be feeling more reactive and disruptive than usual. (Mercury square Uranus)

Saturday, May 27, New Moon in sidereal Taurus
In spite of the quiescent influences of the new moon, today may be a significant power-day. Surprisingly powerful reactive and physical resources may become available to you to make important breakthroughs, whether they be psychological or material. Significant relationship developments may occur. Persuasive power to speak or communicate may be very strong, and people should be quite talkative. It will be important to remain true to a sense of ethics and appropriateness. There would seem to be sufficient moderating and balancing influences to everything present as well. (Mars quincunx Pluto, Mercury biquintile Jupiter, Juno quincunx Pluto, Sun sextile Saturn)

Sunday, May 28
Unusual and/or unexpected connections to other people may arise, the key to their success is that you can recognize and appreciate the other's individuality. Friendship is the key today. You may find yourself using new relationships to help you move down new paths of personal expression. Inspiration, intuition, and creativity will be enhanced; be careful however of lending too much imagination (or propensity to to project your own dreams and hopes) onto otherwise “realistic” situations and/or people. (Venus sesquiquadrate Uranus, Mercury trine Neptune)

Monday, May 29, Memorial Day
Early on today unusual spiritual inspirations could take place; dreams, creative work, and meditation could be uniquely enhanced. Physical afflictions such as allergies, chemical sensitivities, and even things like addictive tendencies may be also activated. Otherwise the big note of the day will occur in relationships that are aggressively pursued, involved in actions that push the envelope as far as appropriateness, and/or revolve around emotions of anger, passion, or zeal. Later, the propensity to see things negatively will be activated and/or blockages and inhibitions to communications may arise. (Mars conjunct Juno, Sun tridecile Neptune, Mercury sesquiquadrate Saturn)
