Love Horoscope for the Week of May 9


weeklyloveThe week begins with two significant events: Jupiter comes off its retrograde and Mercury passes directly between us and the Sun. With Jupiter moving forward in its orbit again, legal matters and commitments will (theoretically) run a little more smoothly. That Mercury thing, on the other hand? It’s astronomically significant, but I am not at all sure we need to pay that much attention to it astrologically. This is a Love Horoscope, not “Transits For Accounting” or something more Mercury-focused. Fear not, though: if you want astrology-based excitement this week, Venus will be providing plenty of it.

Venus makes no less than four major aspects to other planets this week, and promises to lend a helping hand to the love loves and finances of many of you. First, on Monday, Venus sextile Neptune lends an aura of easy-going glamour to even the simplest of matters. Yes, that sort of thing can be deceptive in relationships and investments, but let’s be serious: it’s too soft an aspect to be angry at for long. This week would be a good time to — as those ancient masters of human love (Guns N’ Roses) once observed — “use your illusion.”

Tuesday brings us Venus trine Jupiter. Fun and indulgence are both favored. This is great news if you’re interested in romance and socializing, and maybe not such great news if you are struggling with sticking to a diet or budget.

On Thursday, Mercury trine Pluto sharpens your words and communications (with a warning that Mercury is still retrograde, so make sure you send those sharp words to the right recipient). Friday, Venus joins Mercury and makes its own trine to Pluto. This will make for some sharp and powerful longings, whether real or imagined. Wait: is there even such a thing as a “real” or an “imaginary” longing? Given that the Moon is Void of Course Friday evening, you may want to wait until Saturday evening before you attempt to answer that question while in the arms of someone new. That way at least you’ll have the cool discernment of Moon in Virgo to help you behave wisely.

Wait a minute… Saturday evening that Moon in Virgo is building to the opposition to Neptune and a conjunction with Jupiter. Forget what I said about “cool discernment.” If you want to avoid a good time and/or kicking up your heels and/or getting it on with someone, you should stay home this weekend… and don’t answer the door either. Venus trine Pluto can be pretty insistent…
