The Sky Today,
May 1

At 04:27 AM: The moon is square the sun

In the morning, the Aquarius last quarter moon invites us to reflect on events that transpired during the Scorpio full moon. At that time, we were encouraged to trust our intuition and face our fears, even amidst provocative crises. A direct confrontation with our emotions and behaviors was the path to liberation, inspiring us to disengage from toxic patterns and achieve self-mastery. But today, we’d rather not get into the emotional weeds. We’d far prefer to rationalize whatever conflicts we’re up against. In our attempt to look at things “logically,” we miss the point. Life isn’t always logical, and handling our affairs can’t always be reduced to a science. Granting ourselves space to feel our feelings is the medicine, and given our detached disposition, it’s a medicine that will taste especially bitter today.

At 02:48 PM: The moon is sextile Mercury

Mid-afternoon, the moon sextiles Mercury in Aries, facilitating easy communication. This is a good time for casual conversations and catch-ups. We’ll resist diving too deep into contentious subject matter. We’re more interested in how things work. What needs fixing? What instruction is required? What are we going to do to course-correct the problem at hand? This can be an excellent occasion to catch up on routine correspondence or complete outstanding work.
