The Sky Today,
May 5

At 10:57 p.m.: The moon is conjunct Mercury and the moon void of course begins

The cosmic weather is exceptionally quiet today until late at night, when the Aries moon aligns with Mercury, inspiring us to express sentiments passionately. Our candor can take someone by surprise! We are less concerned with how we are perceived under this influence. All we know is that we must get something off our chests urgently. While emotional impulses can override our “better judgment” now, at least we’re being honest. With any luck, risking vulnerability will ingratiate us with others, even if they don’t return our feelings or agree with our ideas. This transit can be used to tackle sensitive subject matter with loved ones or break down emotional walls. We may also choose to communicate through poetry or songwriting. Be mindful that our moods are changeable, and we might look back on this moment and wonder what possessed us to be so blunt. The moon enters a lengthy void of course following this aspect that will last until tomorrow afternoon! This is a better time for completing work or building rapport within pre-existing relationships than trying to kick-start new ones. 

At 11:59 p.m.: The moon is conjunct Chiron

Just before midnight, the moon aligns with Chiron, triggering insecurity. Throughout the day, we’ve been extremely straightforward with others about what’s on our minds. Yet, as we lie in bed at night, we’re suddenly hit with remorse. Why did we share that?! Leaving the “whys” aside, you did share that, and look, you survived. The sudden awareness that we’ve exposed ourselves can be anxiety-inducing. In the past, being brutally honest had consequences. Furthering bonds is risky business. It leaves us open to be disappointed. But that doesn’t mean we should enter every interaction expecting the worst. In fact, today’s exchanges have had incredible healing value. When the cringe passes, this will be evident.
