COLLECTIVE COSMIC ENERGY
Hey there, space cowboys! It’s time to saddle up & ride the collective cosmic relief energy wave! After experiencing some intense eclipses, we’re feeling the transformative power of the universe. It’s as if we’re emerging from a cocoon, ready to spread our wings and soar towards our dreams. With the Sun and Uranus conjunct, we’re generating brilliant and rebellious ideas, shaking things up like a martini at happy hour.
Hold onto your hats because Mercury has been retrograde in Taurus, causing communication chaos and a fog of uncertainty. It’s been like trying to hit a bullseye with a dart while blindfolded.
Fortunately, Mercury is finally turning direct this Sunday, and we can breathe a sigh of relief as the fog lifts, revealing the path ahead. There were some bizarre occurrences we thought we would never understand, but by the end of May, all celestial blips shall clear up.
Let’s not forget about Jupiter in Aries, hitting that critical 29- degree mark before moving into luscious Taurus the week after, only to return to Aries in April 2034. Every time Jupiter is about to change signs (roughly every 1.2 years), we receive a special gift at the end of this transit. Check where Aries resides in your chart and be open to receive the goodies. This transit only comes around once in a blue moon, so we’re in for some exciting surprises. It’s as if the universe is sending us a special delivery filled with unexpected treasures and opportunities. More on the big Jupiter into Taurus transition next week. After weathering the storm of the last week, we know that crisis leads to opportunity. It’s like a phoenix rising from the ashes or a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
Some of us may even be rewriting our stories and embracing positive change. With tenacity and grace, let’s seize life by the horns & skill-fully ride that cosmic bull, triumphing over its challenges like seasoned rodeo champions.
