Are you prepared to reevaluate your goals, embrace change, and focus on clear communication? Then you’ll want to keep reading to find out what’s on its way to you this week astrologically!
We’ve got two exciting transits this week, including the Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius transit on May 12th and Mercury going direct in Taurus on May 14th – which can be a time of introspection, reflection, and positive change. This week is an opportunity to assess what is working in your life and what is not working and make changes accordingly.
The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius is a time to focus on your dreams, aspirations, and goals. Aquarius is a sign that is associated with individuality, innovation, and thinking outside of the box. This is a period when you may feel like letting go of old habits, beliefs, and patterns that no longer serve you. This can be an intense time of introspection and reflection, but it is also a time when you can make significant changes in your life.
Mercury going direct in Taurus signifies the end of the retrograde period, which is a time when communication and technology may have been challenging. (Let us rejoice!) During the retrograde period, it is common to experience delays, misunderstandings, and miscommunications. However, as Mercury goes direct, you can expect communication and technology to improve, making it easier to express yourself and connect with others.
Reflect on your goals and aspirations – use this time to take a step back and reflect on your goals and aspirations. Are you on track to achieve them? Are there any changes that you need to make to get there? The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius is an excellent time to assess your goals and make any necessary changes.
This is a time to let go of old patterns, beliefs, or habits that no longer serve you. Take the time to reflect on any negative patterns that you may have and find ways to break free from them. Remember, this is a time of positive change, so don’t be afraid to let go of anything that is holding you back.
Mindfulness is an excellent practice to incorporate into your daily routine during this week. Mindfulness can help you stay focused on the present moment, reduce stress, and increase overall well-being. Take a few moments each day to practice mindfulness, whether through meditation, yoga, or simply walking in nature.
May 8th – May 14th is a Week to Reflect, Embrace Change, & Communicate
The Last Quarter Moon brings the perfect energy to reevaluate your long-term plans and focus on what truly matters to you. Be open to change and embrace the unknown.
And as Mercury moves direct once again, you can expect a sense of relief as communication and travel become smoother and easier. This is the week to make plans, take action toward your goals, and communicate clearly and effectively with others!
How can you use these transits to improve my personal and professional life? Take advantage of this reflective and stable energy to assess your goals and communicate effectively with others.
