- Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) sextile Ceres (11th/Aries) – suggests nurturing is plentiful, possibly to excess
- Saturn (9th/Aquarius) square Uranus (12th/Taurus) – suggests insecurity surrounding ability, authority, and compromise.
- Uranus (12th/Taurus) trine Vesta (4th/Virgo) – suggests balancing a spiritual concern for the greater good and a motivation to help others with taking care of oneself as well
- Neptune (10th/Pisces) square Juno (6th/Sagittarius R) – describes the need to see others realistically, especially when providing assistance or selecting a partner

Black Moon Lilith ~ 12th House/Taurus — You may resist change while in Taurus and it may be difficult to move out of your comfort zone. In the 12th House of endings, things that are hidden (fears, enemies), the collective unconscious, karma, and service to others, Lilith’s darker side may impact relationships with others, with fear at the heart of a more solitary existence, also reflecting a quincunx with Juno. A sextile with Neptune counsels stepping outside your own focus and aligning with nature to balance your fear while a conjunct between Lilith and Venus encourages you to trust your instincts. That said, a conjunct between our dark Goddess and The Sun offers a bright spot to Lilith’s day supporting optimism and enthusiasm. Yes, she’s complex.
Node influences ~ N Node – Gemini; S Node – Sagittarius describes the need for self-control and a focus on a spiritual perspective. The challenge involves understanding the viewpoints of others as well as expressing your own in a helpful and respectful manner.
- A trine between the North Node and Saturn (sextile the South Node) suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas
- Pluto sesquisquare The North Node/semisquare The South Node seems to suggest transformation surrounding both how you see past as well as the future
- Chiron trine the South Node/sextile The North Node indicates that profound growth from a difficult situation or illness in your life may benefit others
Lunar Phase ~Waning; 3rd Qtr on 3 May 2021 at 12:51 PM PDT at 13°Aq35; New Moon on 11 May 2021 at 12:00 PM PDT at 21°Ta17
Mansion of the Moon -28th – Arrexhe – 17°Pi8′; Pisces; increases harvest, protects travelers on a dangerous journey, increases joy between married couples, reinforces prisons and loss of possessions
Retrograde ~ Juno – suggests a look inward in how you select, commit to, and interact with partners in your life; Pluto – inner transformation is favored.
Polarity – Masculine (10), Feminine (13) – polarities are in relative balance today with the feminine or receptive influence slightly stronger
Elemental Influence ~ The Air element provides the strongest impact today suggesting intellectual/communication concerns are in focus. Both Earth (material/physical concerns) and Water (emotions, empathy) are in relative balance with each other, with Fire (will/creativity) having no effect again today.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Fixed sign qualities are strongest suggesting stability and routine are favored today. Mutable (flexibility, adaptability) sign qualities, however, are increasing.
Rays ~ The 4th Ray influence involves mediation, balance, as well as trial and error while the 2nd Ray involves expressions of compassion, love, wisdom, and faith. Together, the two Rays provide a strong impact today on our ability to extend love and and harmony to others.
The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science factors in as well with scientific research playing a role in our interactions. The 3rd Ray supports this with its own impact on our intelligence.
Although the 7th Ray remains steady in its influence today, the 1st and 7th Rays both continue to have a lesser effect suggesting that manifesting what we want today may not depend upon self-assertion.
Finally, the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism has increased somewhat signaling the focus on more extreme forms of ideology could factor in as well today. That said, the stronger 2nd Ray effect should help keep any extreme 6th Ray expression in check.
