THE COSMIC WEEK AHEAD – 14-20 May
********
THIS WEEK IS ALL ABOUT …
New Beginnings. Three Planets change sign this week – and in anyone’s language that is Big News in one week – but when one of those planets is Uranus, and the week also holds a New Moon, well, yes, this week is all about New Beginnings. And Buckling Up.
********
THIS WEEK’S FEATURE ASPECT …
In a plethora of aspects this week, the mid-week clash between MARS, newly moved into the first degree of Aquarius, and URANUS, newly moved into the first degree of Ta**us, is most definitely a biggie – particularly given not only the Ta**us New Moon which is very active through this square, but that there’s a swapping of roles. Because this time last week, Mars ruled Uranus (in Aries). This week, Uranus rules Mars (in Aquarius). You’d almost think the tables had turned …
********
what’s HOT … well, apart from the week’s feature aspect, which is really a triple play, VENUS also makes a big – and comfortable – move this week, into Cancer. Which, given Cancer is a sign sextile to Ta**us, can only mean one thing. Yes, a VENUS/URANUS Zaperoo S*xtile – with a difference. Because Uranus is, of course, ruled by Venus now. And with the Moon in Cancer for this interaction – so lending that home-ground advantage to Venus - well, it’s getting oh so interesting in the Cosmic Kitchen, isn’t it?
what’s NOT … I’m going to stick my neck out and say nothing to see here, transit wise. Yes, even with that Mars/Uranus square in play. It’s far too early to really see how this Uranus in Ta**us transit will play out – but kicking things off from the Great Activator of the Zodiac – yes, even by square – is some way to make an entrance.

AND FINALLY ….
Well, we’re finally here. Uranus into Ta**us. The week may start sedately but boy does it rev up Tuesday/Wednesday and then again over the weekend. Assuming things have gone to plan, I’m back from China this week and will look to have a piece up at some stage this week.
The Planet Of Change into the Sign Of Slow & Steady & No Change (We’re Not Ready). Well, ready or not, it’s here, Ta**us. And this is going to be some ride. For all of us.
Have a good one, Sparklers 💫 ~ AstroSparkles
