BitchScopes May 31-June 7: This is the Way

Set into motion by that Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, there is a focus on the future in this week’s astrology, and the future looks inspired. You may have bursts of clarity or insight about your spiritual/career path. You should write everything down because thoughts will be fast and fleeting, and sometimes foggy. Intuition will be strong, but it may be hard to discern meaning. Also, despite all the creative and intuitive energy, there will be boring, mundane bullshit that we are obligated to do before we can get on with dreaming. Ugh. Rude!

But before you stomp off to your room after doing your chores, realize that your hard work will pay off (probably not this week, because the retrogrades create a bit of a lull in the action). But not in the way your dad or grandpa told you. “Grinding” is the out-moded work ethic of previous generations. “Inspired labor” is the new way. We need to honor and give a certain amount of reverence to the old way, because each generation has its burdens. Each generation has its fatal flaws, and a shadow that only subsequent generations can see. We all must carry our fair share, but for things to evolve and progress, we have to honor our history, with honesty. We need to appreciate the sacrifices that were made for us, and turn that into inspired thought about what we will create for those after us, or for ourselves in our next go-round, even.

This is the way (cue Mandalorian music)

May 31

• Mars trine Pallas - energy put toward your skill and talents will pay off
• Mercury Rx sextile Eris - intuition may lead you to pick something back up that you put away some time ago. This could be a disagreement that was had in the past
• Sun conjunct N. Node - enthusiasm about the future

June 2

• Venus enters Cancer - we become more nurturing and protective, of both ourselves and those we love
• Sun sextile Chiron - you can find purpose in healing; you may be motivated or inspired by your own wounds/healing process
• Mars square Eris - sort of the ultimate clash of the unrestrained male and the wild woman energies; internal struggles between masculine and feminine energy

June 3

• Sun trine Saturn - hard work pays off
• Venus trine Jupiter - this is a great energy! Optimism, love, good moods, and money!
• Saturn quincunx Vesta - responsibilities that don’t light your fire, tasks outside your “job description” and other annoying adjustments at work
• Mars sextile Lilith - excitement, ambition, and ease in pursuing passions and pleasure
• Mercury square Pallas - frustrated communications on the path to victory

June 4

• Sun square Vesta - work frustrations, obstacles to carrying out your “duties”

June 5

• Mercury Rx square Neptune - confusion much? Distorted thinking and facts, unclear communication. But also Spiritual insights and strong intuition. The spiritual world and the material world are muddled
• Mars opposite Pluto

June 6

• Sun opposite Juno - relationships are the focal point

ARIES - Look to your childhood to decide what you want to re-create for yourself, and what you want to lovingly bid farewell to in your family line. Work/Life balance is something for you to examine. If you’ve successfully balanced those scales, or are on track to, you’re in good shape. If you haven’t, whose pattern are you repeating? You’re pretty damn close to achieving some of your big goals, so move forward with full awareness and a sprinkling of water color memories.

TAURUS - Who’s yer daddy? Or who wasn’t he? Can you examine your father figure(s) with honesty? It’s really ok. It will likely be a sensitive spot for you, as it is for most of us. But tapping into that sensitivity is key for you. In fact, the key to finding meaningful opportunities for yourself is to lean into your natural romanticism. Permission to be yourself...who knew?!

GEMINI - Do you remember who you were before you started bending and manipulating yourself to fit into other people’s boxes? Your unbridled optimism and charm are a gift. Someone made you feel like you’re “too much”? Guess what...Fuck them. Spend some time mothering yourself in the way you need(ed) to be mothered. Your ability to do that for other people is what we all need, but not to your own detriment. You first…

CANCER- Significant chapters are closing for you, and this is positive. The energy of new beginnings and cycles is very loud for you. Look back at your hard lessons and offer gratitude for what you learned, and how you grew. The time for you to take action is here. You’ve been working and planning and manifesting and now you get to DO something. A more secure future is coming.

LEO - Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to feel your feelings, and some of them may be difficult. In the past you may have been naive, and not have been as sensitive to the needs of others as you could have been. But you are moreso now, and the Universe recognizes this about you. Forgiveness of self and others is the way forward. “Jaded” is no longer your color. Your new color is “pink innocence”. The way back to your purest self is through compassion.

VIRGO - Your self actualization and sense of self tends to depend on what other people need from you. It is fair and accurate to say you’ve achieved an admirable level of success this way. You will either continue to have, or now experience, a sense of having arrived. Be aware of pathways that tease you towards them. Something new is beckoning you, and it is more of a solo endeavor than a “service”. It will require learning, which you aren’t afraid of, and it will look different than what you’re doing now. Stay open.

LIBRA - Your enthusiasm and charm are gifts. You will attract significant monetary blessings your way just by staying true to yourself. But be aware of too much emphasis on money and not enough emphasis on family. There’s a part of you that is much more traditional that you maybe admit or realize. Keep yourself in check and use your wealth to create a legacy, rather than a means to power.

SCORPIO - You have had to say goodbye to some treasured ideals, ideas, and goals, because they just weren’t working out. This isn’t failure. This is progress. You may feel that you are between a rock and a hard place, but that is a deception. Take time to really, deeply reflect on what is good in your life. Give yourself time alone for meditation and reflection daily. Your intuition and magical side will light the way forward.

SAGITTARIUS - You may feel as though something or someone you loved unconditionally has trampled you, used you, or competed with you in a hurtful way. Can you continue the competition, but without the resentment and the person it is attached to? Push yourself in a direction where you struggle a little and feel challenged. This competition with yourself will spark something for you, and you will create a new plan!

CAPRICORN - You are no stranger to achievement, or the quest for it. You are driven to succeed and to overcome. Don’t give up now (like any Capricorn would?!) You’re farther along than your current perspective can see. Stop, collaborate and listen (haha)...gather your trusted people in and do some brainstorming. There are many more mountains to victoriously ascend, and you will!

AQUARIUS - You’ve experienced frustrating delays in your goals, and you’ve had to let go of things that didn’t work out, no matter how much you wanted them. Well good news...that’s the past! Your world will be expanding in ways you didn’t see coming. When you see the ships approaching the shore, take time to do some planning and preparation so you can allocate your new found blessings in a way that will create a legacy rather than a temporary party.

PISCES - You are the only sign this week where I felt a strong goddess energy. Pallas Athena is your girl! Your inner wisdom is one of your most powerful tools. You will need to use both your intuition and your will on the path forward. Dig in and have courage. Be a badass. When you prove to yourself that you are stronger than you gave yourself credit, you’ll feel almost reborn, and the magic you used to see everywhere will be visible to you again.

Honest and Vulnerable - BitchScopes for 5/24-31

Hey bitches. It is a big week! Saturn will be retrograde as of Sunday May 23rd. This is bound to bring up some issues for you around authority, responsibilities, fatherhood. It is so weird that this falls so close to the anniversary of my dad’s passing. I have Saturn retrograde in my 12th house, and when dad died, this pipeline of “knowing” just opened up for me. I have had some big breakthroughs in the last 4 years. Where Saturn is transiting your personal chart, you are bound to be pulled in by its gravity, figuratively speaking. Spend some time with your difficult feelings and let them out somehow.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius is a lunar eclipse as well. Your beliefs may come into question or be up for revision. Truth and discernment are a big theme for this lunation. This cosmic course correction (think of your GPS on your device when you miss a turn and it “recalculates route”) could be a test of faith in some way. Get clear about what is true for you.

Mercury will retrograde next weekend in its own sign of Gemini. Expect communication snafus, screwed up mail deliveries, and the usual hijinx of this transit. You don’t need to stop working on things or put off buying a thing. Just read your paperwork, fine print, disclosures, etc. I have found that Mercury retrograde increases my intuition quite a bit, so pay attention to what feels true to you.

Other themes this week: emotional intimacy, committed relationships, vulnerability and healing, sensuality and connection, art and music. There is a lot of tender energy afoot this week. Tread softly with your loved ones and with yourself Lean into your creative gifts to soothe yourself (and maybe others). Tell the people you love that you appreciate them. Tell your body that you appreciate it (and mean it).

Be kind and have a soft week.

May 23

• Saturn Retrograde - reflection and realizations about our responsibilities and failures; renewed commitment to causes or behavior possible; be aware of guilt

May 24

• Venus opposite Juno - imbalances in relationships; values around money can cause disagreements

May 25

• Mars quincunx Juno - triggers in marital relationships may come up; your intimate relationship requires attention

May 26

• Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius - truthful communication; emphasis on truth; realizations about our true selves and our beliefs; course correction; spiritual experiences; test of faith,

May 27

• Venus square Neptune - vulnerability, need for tenderness; insecurity about appearance
• Mercury sextile Eris - logic needed to settle discord

May 28

• Chiron quincunx Vesta - tend to your “wounds”
• Mercury conjunct Venus - expressions of love are emphasized

May 29

• Venus sextile Eris - feeling appreciated
• Mercury stations retrograde in Gemini - all sorts of communication issues are possible, from mail to email to phone and verbal snafus. Be present and conscious of how you use your words

May 30

• Uranus trine Vesta - unexpected events can bring greater freedom in work environment
• Neptune conjunct Pallas - using your dreams or creative gifts to move a situation forward or problem solve
• Venus quincunx Pluto - trust issues and intensity in relationships, ungrieved losses
• Mars trine Neptune - sensual and passionate

May 31

• Mars trine Pallas - energy put toward your skill and talents will pay off
• Mercury Rx sextile Eris - intuition may lead you to pick something back up that you put away some time ago. This could be a disagreement that was had in the past
• Sun conjunct N. Node - enthusiasm about the future

ARIES - lean on your friends this week, or, let them lean on you. Trust issues arising from betrayal in the past need to be looked at and healed if possible. This is an inside job and doesn’t require you to contact the other person. Examine what you believe about the friends you have currently and confess to your self who you do and don’t trust. Allow yourself to feel vulnerable with your safe people and get yourself a hug..

TAURUS - If you’re feeling in a slight slump, be kind to yourself. You aren’t seeing your true value at work or with your people. You are far more appreciated than you realize, and hopefully your loved ones will tell you this. If not, just appreciate yourself. You contribute a great deal! Get yourself a hug or some snuggles this week.

GEMINI - You may have some big revelations this week (and after) about how you fit in to the professional world, how your career does or doesn’t line up with your belief systems, and who you are in the world in general. That is all pretty heavy and significant stuff and your already busy brain is likely to be even busier processing all this. I strongly encourage you to journal over the next several weeks.

CANCER - You are likely to feel pretty sensitive this week...more than usual. Habits, your surroundings, pets, and some of your secrets or secret feelings are likely to require some attention. Take some time to craft a routine that feels good to you, and allows you personal time for meditation, reflection and prayer. You need to carve out time for yourself and let go of the need to be all things to all people.

LEO - Loneliness is likely this week. Are you missing someone particularly strongly? Surround yourself with the people you love and work on some creative projects. Really nurture your inner child and try to heal trust issues that were born during your elementary school days. Which friend wound are you still carrying around? Tend to it this week, with love and creativity.

VIRGO - Work-Life balance is up for review for you. Covid greatly changed the way we work and where we work. Take some time to create a routine that best reflects who you are right now, and not who you were last year. You have changed a lot, so your life should reflect that. Your committed relatiohships sector of your chart is beefed up for intimacy, so let your walls down a bit.

LIBRA - Take time this week to visit with your 7 year old self (any age from 3-8 will work). What does that kid believe about the world and about his or her self? How many of those beliefs are you still carrying and are they true about the world you live in? Consider letting go of the out dated stuff and replace it with something that is true for you right now. Take some time to appreciate your physical body as well.

SCORPIO - Your focus is likely to be squarely at home for a bit. Financial and family responsibilities take precedence now. Tell your people what they mean to you. And be open to receiving more love in general. Love makes you feel uncomfortably squishy sometimes, but sometimes your people need you to be squishy.

SAGITTARIUS - Who you are and what is true for you, particularly as it relates to intimate relationships, is being revised. These changes are already underway, but your awareness may be somewhere else. Reign in the squirrels and take some time to be with yourself and who you are today. Create a home environment that reflects that person.

CAPRICORN - Guilt and shame and other hard stuff about money are likely to be on your emotional radar. Has money been used to control you? Have you used money in that way with someone else? What are your hidden beliefs and secrets about money? Do you believe you can have money or do you only focus on earning it? You are more than your paycheck. Define yourself in a healthier way

AQUARIUS - You may be just about ready to let go of some friendships or some associations. Your creativity will be high for the next few weeks, so let your sacral chakra lead the way. You will be feeling more optimistic for the next several months about your place in the world and your value. Some of that is directly related to releasing relationships that don’t really feed your soul.

PISCES - Release your guilt! Guilt isn’t doing anything for you or your family, so work on letting it go. That requires some conscious healing of core wounds around “being enough” for your family. You are more than your current definition of self expresses. Expand your understanding of your self and you will be a stronger resource to your family.

BitchScopes for May 17-24: Dating, Mating & Relating

There’s a strong emphasis on relationships in this week’s transits. Issues may arise with committed partners, and with our selves. Communication issues are likely if you are not plugged in and aware. The things that are coming up are meant to be viewed and healed, not wrestled with. If you resist the experience because it is uncomfortable (this is wrestling), it will hang around longer and grow in strength. Compassion for your own experiences as well as the people you are around on a regular basis will go a long way in preventing blow outs.

The Sun enters Gemini mid week, and our collective focus shifts to social interactions, fun, flirtation and light hearted things. Curiosity and humor make a strong appearance in this show. This is the beginning of the summer energy we’ve been missing for so long. Generally speaking, however, because the whole world had some major FOMO during the Covid crisis, people may not be taking issues, or others’ needs very seriously. Flouting of rules and courtesy are likely. Mercury will retrograde in this same energy, so stay aware.

Stay connected to your body and your needs for healing, both physical and emotional. Healing progresses you along in your personal evolution and moves you toward your North Node destiny. Destiny isn’t, in my usage of the word, the same as “fate”. You do have some control over how you arrive at your destiny. To my understanding, fated events are outside of our control. But at any rate, lean into your North Node, get curious about what it means and how you’ve moved closer to it in the past few years.

Enjoy your Vitamin D and be kind.

May 17

• Sun trine Pluto - deep experiences and influence
• Venus conjunct North Node - alignment and a strong intuitive pull toward destined experiences

May 18

• Pallas square Juno - relationship challenges involving ambition
• Venus sextile Chiron - wounds around self worth can be triggered and healed
• Chiron sextile North Node - learning and moving towards your destiny, particularly around healing

May 19

• Venus trine Saturn - relationships can become more serious or committed
• Mercury opposite Juno - challenges in communications within relationships

May 20

• Sun enters Gemini - social, curious, flirty, fun
• Mercury square Pallas - disruptions and a need to clarify your vision

May 21

• Sun square Jupiter - arrogance is possible, practice moderation and respect

May 22

• Mercury square Neptune - distorted thinking can lead to misunderstandings

May 23

• Saturn Retrograde - reflection and realizations about our responsibilities and failures; renewed commitment to causes or behavior possible; be aware of guilt

May 24

• Venus opposite Juno - imbalances in relationships; values around money can cause disagreements

Heads up: The Full Moon on 5/26 is also an Eclipse. So we will definitely talk about that next week and probably on my show this week.


P.S. I want to say Thanks for all the positive feedback on Scopes recently. As a creative, it is sometimes hard to know if my work is hitting home with anyone. When you are an accountant or a mechanic or a teacher, you get lots of feedback about whether your work is effective. But as a person who is creating something out of thin air and intuition, like art, people don’t usually share their thoughts and feelings about it. I’ve gotten quite a few messages lately that BitchScopes were really nailing it, and it makes me very happy!



ARIES - Your relationship and communication with the Divine, God, Goddess, Higher Power (whatever you call it) is emphasized now. As we move into eclipse and retrograde season, you may notice some old stuff coming up for re-examination. Don’t be afraid to question what you believe and why. God can handle it. Ultimately your spiritual relationships should empower and energize you, as well as make you feel secure and safe. Don’t be afraid to change your mind.

TAURUS - You are being encouraged and nudged to say yes to new opportunities, ideas, and connections. This coming eclipse and retrograde season has the potential to inspire great visions and connections for you, particularly as regards making and borrowing money, and possibly edging out your competition. While your practical nature usually wins out, it is OK to take a calculated risk in the coming weeks.

GEMINI - You may feel discouraged about the direction of your career. Maybe someone you trusted didn’t come through for you, or maybe you feel outright betrayed. This coming eclipse and retrograde season, your business partnerships have the potential to be re-defined and improved. You are poised to have a pretty big realization about your role in the professional realm. Have faith that the right people and opportunities will show up for you at the perfect time.

CANCER - You have to be your own Hero. That may be good news, or it may be unsettling news. But there’s a chance that the people you hoped would come through for you will opt for another direction. They may even hurt your feelings in the process. You have a thousand reasons to believe in your abilities and to be proud of yourself. You will achieve your goals despite the obstacles.

LEO - You are being invited to have more fun with your tribe, particularly if your tribe has anything to do with mysticism and magic. You can find creative inspiration from your friends and close companions. Intimacy is also a key source of good juju for you right now. Sex magic, sexual healing, and deep experiences are up for grabs. Lucky you!

VIRGO - You will be going on a heart journey. Old relationship patterns will be closed out and replaced with healthy and nurturing new ones. This eclipse and retrograde season your family and career axis is emphasized, as well as your 7th house of partnerships. A brand new season and set of experiences is coming, so do what you can to truly release any shame or guilt you have around your past experiences.

LIBRA - Your spiritual journey is up for review and revision. Part is what is coming up for you is about who you surround yourself with. Your presence is very often the brightest spot in the room. This will attract both good and bad energy from other people. Work on identifying who around you makes you feel good and who seems to only pull energy from you. Let the latter go. Even if it means you feel alone for a while...it won’t be for very long.

SCORPIO - Your eclipse and retrograde season will be a “flip the script” kind of experience. Where you have felt rejected, you will feel liberated. Where you have felt afraid, you will feel courageous. There’s a pretty significant metamorphosis happening for you in the next several weeks and months. At times that will feel dark, but of all the zodiac, you are the least worried about darkness. Keep your faith, because this is going to create a beautiful new reality for you.

SAGITTARIUS - You may feel confused about some decisions and some of your closest relationships. Some people will expect you to be the person you used to be, and you are not obligated to appease them or make decisions based on the past. You get to do this on your own terms, even if it is with your family and partner. Just bear in mind that your brutal honesty can feel very harsh to some, so handle your important relationships with kindness.

CAPRICORN - The truth can set you free, but it can also piss you and other people off. Truth and honest communication, particularly at work, and with your deeper self, are highlighted in the coming eclipse and retrogrades. The eclipse next week falls in your 12th house, so some old wounding and karmic stuff may show up for healing. Where you run into resistance with either yourself or others, examine the situation and see if there is some denial at play. And don’t be so hard on yourself.

AQUARIUS - Like your neighbor, Capricorn, you need to ease up on yourself. You can be very unforgiving of others, as well as yourself. Forgive and release as awareness comes up. Old friends and lovers are likely during this retrograde and eclipse season. Follow your intuition when it comes to allowing people back in. Tune in to your heart and do what feels supportive of YOU. Sometimes, other people can carry their own damn water!

PISCES - Forgiveness is also up for you (like Aquarius), and it is likely from a family or career source. If someone has wrongly held something against you, it is OK to let it go and forgive. Don’t force it, though. Some guilt and insecurity that you’ve carried around for a long, long time has actually influenced how you have defined yourself, and you get to rewrite that now!

BitchScopes May 10- 17 A snippet of things to come

There are a couple of great planetary line ups this week. The New Moon in Taurus is really sweet and should be a sense of safety and comfort. Because Taurus rules the material realm, this is the perfect New Moon to manifest material abundance. A grounding ceremony would be very beneficial. The birthstone for Taurus is emerald, and it is fantastic for bringing in abundance in both finances and relationships. Yellow calcite and citrine are also great for manifesting money.

Jupiter enters Pisces on Thursday the 13th and this bodes really well for our collective outlook. Jupiter in Capricorn was rough, particularly because it was in the company of so many other hard hitters in Capricorn. We all know how that went. Jupiter in Aquarius has been much better. There has been

significantly more focus on humanitarian ideals and efforts, and vision for the future. This puts Jupiter in the 3rd house for the USA, bringing much needed optimism and positive communication to us all. Jupiter will retrograde in June and back into Aquarius again in July. But for 2 months we can catch a breath of positivity. Jupiter will enter Pisces again at the end of December and remain there until December of 2022.

There is potential for us to get triggered this week by an old wound or a sense of, how shall I say… “not wanting to put up with this bullshit”. Keep yourself in check and work on healing whatever insecurities come up.

Overall, it’s a great week to really try to feel peaceful, safe and comforted.



May 10

• Mercury conjunct North Node - sharp mind; planning for the future

May 11

• New Moon in Taurus - sweet, sensual, grounded, comforting
• Mars sextile Uranus - desire for fun and excitement
• Mercury sextile Chiron - healing via intellect
• Mars square Chiron - something can be triggering, internal conflict

May 12

• Mercury trine Saturn - good concentration
• Sun quincunx Juno - tolerance and patience needed in relationships

May 13

• Sun sextile Neptune - heightened intuition
• Jupiter enters Pisces - spirituality & connection is enhanced
• Sun conjunct Lilith - personal power is very strong; be aware of the desire to rebel
• Neptune sextile Lilith - intuitive guidance will allow you to push boundaries

May 15

• Mars quincunx Saturn - frustrated by perceived limitations

May 16

• Venus Square Vesta - your “job” may interfere with your true desires

May 17

• Sun trine Pluto - deep and intense experiences
• Venus conjunct North Node - your values line up with your long term goals

ARIES - You are stronger than you think you are. There is something hard that needs to be said. Yes, you can. Be precise, not vague. Be thoughtful, not impulsive. Be honest. Even if you think the other party is more knowledgable than you...say the thing that needs to be said. It is important for reasons you don’t know right now. You’ve got this.

TAURUS - Your spiritual journey is unique to you. If there isn’t a road visible for the path you desire to take, make your own road! Also, if your spiritual journey seems to wander and weave, that’s OK! Reclaim your power over your life starting with what you want your Divine connection to feel like.

GEMINI - Whatever difficulty you are going through right now, you need to know that you have the power and the resources around you to create something out of almost nothing. The right people will show up. The right circumstances will unfold. You can face down your fears if you feel deeply into your soul. If you can do that, you will realize that you really aren’t off track at all.

CANCER - You are often mistaken for a soft squishy being who is too nice. But You and I (and some choice others) know that you are actually a badass. You are a strong and natural leader when you desire to be. So in the present situations that you’re dealing with, it is time to be your own hero. It will mean standing up for yourself the way you do it for others. You’ve got this!

LEO - If you feel a little less than magical these days, it is probably due more to boredom than actual ineffectiveness. Your magic wand really only needs your unbridled natural enthusiasm to create. There just hasn’t been anything lighting you up for a while. But that is going to change soon. When something tickles your heart, brain, or soul...go in that direction. You will rediscover your magic if you follow your joy.

VIRGO - Your feeling of being overwhelmed will give way to a sense of personal power soon. There is a big change happening, mostly behind the scenes right now, and you are more than capable of handling this with an open heart and a balanced mind. Yes, really. Where there is chaos now, you will find direction very soon!

LIBRA - If you feel anxious, that’s a good indication that you need to get out of your head. Don’t over analyze your situation. It isn’t your job or duty to make things that inspire you make sense, to you or anyone else. You don’t need to justify your joy. The human mind is powerful and if logic was always required, well there are a great many inventions that never would have come into existence. Dream big and feel inspired by your dreams!

SCORPIO - Don’t let anyone tell you what flavor you should be. You were destined for greatness, not sameness, not predictableness, not ease of access for others. Listen to your inner guidance and be whatever the hell flavor you want! If you’re struggling with a decision...take action in the direction of your joy

SAGITTARIUS - You’re a dreamer, and a stirrer of pots. You do not have to conform to the expectations of the people around you. Don’t let anyone else decide what your life should look like. What you do need to do, however, is some practical (ew, blek!) planning, if even a sheet of brain storming, to illuminate your thoughts and desires so you can be clear.

CAPRICORN - The mind is powerful, and it can create amazing things, as well as nightmarish things. Whatever you are currently worrying about, let it go. Let go of control. Anything that feels or smells like fear, release it. A bright new beginning is right around the corner, so don’t encumber yourself with chains and cages now. Break free and fly!

AQUARIUS - Your courage and strength have gotten you this far, and there are aspects of your present existence that you never thought was possible at one point. Abundance is at your fingertips. You can manifest almost anything right now, especially if you tap into gratitude. A deep sense of appreciation for everything that you are and have right now, even if it is less than you want, is key to moving forward and being able to recognize and accept the gifts that are coming.

PISCES - Its time to move beyond your current state of existence. You are ready to level up. But you need to give yourself some grace and forgiveness in order to do that. The regret you carry is too heavy for this trip. Exchange your self judgement for self compassion, and reject anyone’s attempts to project fear or guilt on to you for moving ahead.

BitchScopes for May 3-10

Our collective head isn’t entirely in the commitment / relationship game right now. Mercury in Gemini makes for a busy mind and many distractions. (Mercury will retrograde in Gemini at the end of this month so pay attention to what is coming up right now.) We are ready to get out there and mingle, or at least share stimulating conversations with others. This is partly due to Spring Fever and Covid quarantine fatigue, but Mercury in Gemini is at play here too. We have watched all the Netflix and read all the books and planted the garden and deep cleaned the shower and now we are feeling like maybe we could put on pants and shoes and go somewhere. This distraction carries over into the work place as well. No matter how great our ideas are or how motivated we were when we woke up, once we get to the office (or living room or wherever), we suddenly feel like we need to alphabetize things and start that yoga routine that we said we would start 22 times last month. Guess what...you may not finish the yoga routine. But kudos if you do, because focusing on the body is very much in line with the stars.

The other cool vibe this week is our confidence in our skills and talents, and our drive for independence and self sufficiency. We need to make sure we find balance in that too, however. Because extreme independence comes from distrust and is often a result of previous trauma or abandonment. We do need to leave room for others to care for us. It is OK to need people.

To that end, take some time to dream up your personal A-Team for your life. Who are the people, real or imagined, that you would want around you as you proceed toward your goals and destiny? Not just lovers and friends...also consider the kind of doctor you want, therapist, life coach, accountant, business partner, agent, personal assistant. When the New Moon in Taurus comes on the 11th, it is a fantastic energy for manifesting what you want in your physical reality! So start doing your homework now.

May 3

• Mercury square Jupiter - positive thinking, optimistic about the future; we can overstep or speak out of turn, or overestimate our words
• Sun square Saturn - frustration, low energy, depression
• Mercury enters Gemini - good communication and socialization
• Venus quincunx Juno - feelings of instability in partnerships

May 5

• Jupiter sextile Ceres - generosity and compassion
• Neptune square Juno - confusion and disillusion in committed relationships

May 6

• Venus trine Pluto - intensity and passion
• North Node sextile Chiron - your wounds and healing process will point you toward your destiny
• Mars sextile Vesta - motivated to work and have the focus to get things done

May 8

• Venus square Jupiter - great for social connections, but carries risk of overdoing
• Ceres enters Taurus - nurturing centers on physical well being and pampering
• Venus enters Gemini - social, curious and flirty; less concerned with commitment during this time
• Juno quincunx Lilith - adjustments needed to find the balance between commitment and rebellion/the resistance to submission
• Sun sextile Pallas - feeling more assertive and enthused about our own talents, finding cooperation for our idealism
• Mercury square Vesta - interruptions and disruptions in the work environment

May 10

• Mercury conjunct N. Node - sharp mind; planning for the future

Heads up: Tuesday May 11

• New Moon in Taurus - perfect for MANIFESTING - more on this next week

ARIES - Don’t feel guilty about leaving something behind on your path forward, Aries. Old structures and rules and traditions are all undergoing transformation. So if something you used to believe or hold true no longer resonates with you, it’s ok to let it go. Lead with your heart going forward. Embrace compassion over tradition when making decisions.

TAURUS - Forgive yourself if you’ve done someone wrong, either recently or in the distant past. No one is perfect and betrayal is pretty universal. We are all selfish sometimes. And it’s OK! Make peace if you feel the need, either energetically or verbally. Then let go of your guilt and love yourself for who you are. Embrace your wild and primal nature and your changing moods. Others are attracted to you for that wildness. Be your own wild nature witch and watch what kind of juicy goodness you attract when you step more fully into yourself.

GEMINI - Fear can often make us act with a heavier hand than necessary. So maybe you’ve misused your authority or been “a mess” and maybe accidentally splashed some on those you love. Just because you may have been an asshole doesn’t mean you don’t deserve your heart’s desire. You may not have a clear idea of where your life is going, but you do know how you want it to feel. Don’t strip yourself of that because you feel bad about your behavior. Forgive both yourself and others, and move on.

CANCER - Ok so you’re not “normal”. So what? Let’s normalize not being normal! You don’t need to change who you are so that someone or multiple someones will like you. In fact, if you do, you won’t like yourself! Let your freak flag fly so that the other freaks know how to find you. You have, or will have, a strong tribe who accepts you for exactly who you are.

LEO - You are not one to back down from a challenge or a competition, even if you feel crappy. You can “fake it til you make it” with the best of ‘em. In fact, I’m pretty sure you wrote that book. But even you, King/Queen of confidence, has their moments. The truth is you don’t really have to fake it at all. There is a lot of power in being humble. You are pretty effing fabulous even on your off days. So cut yourself a break. A lion is always a lion, even when it is sleeping, even when it doesn’t catch the prey, even when it doesn’t win the fight. You need to prove nothing.

VIRGO - There are a whole lotta feelings swirling around in you. It might feel overwhelming and too vulnerable. You’re in a transition period and people who don’t make you feel loved need to go. Likewise, the people that you deeply care about deserve to know. Don’t assume that others know how you feel. Your authenticity and vulnerability will land you in the right group of people.

LIBRA - Sometimes the reality is even better than the fantasy. You are doubting whether you deserve something because it seems too good, or like you didn’t do enough to earn it. Or perhaps you can’t even see the reward because you’re still in that chaotic pre-creation phase. In any case, you absolutely deserve these good things and you don’t need to earn them. Believe in the goodness that IS.

SCORPIO - You may be feeling like there’s too much chaos for things to work out the way you’d hoped. Where you once felt so enthusiastic, you now feel overwhelmed. You should know better than anyone that this is how transformation works. This one may have snuck up on you, but that’s OK. Metamorphosis is messy. But the Universe is already working to bring your dreams to fruition. Believe!

SAGITTARIUS - Generally your optimism is a shining beacon. But when you get down, you get really, really down. In this state, you can completely overlook the good things that are around you because you feel so crushed by defeat. You don’t need to fix anything. Try to let go of control and let things unfold. Even when it seems like it is going all sideways, life is happening FOR you. Change your perspective.

CAPRICORN - Ease up on yourself. Ok so you’ve procrastinated...Oh My God call the productivity police! You don’t need to explain or justify. You don’t need to make yourself the victim or someone else a villain in order to make your case. Be there for yourself the way you are for everyone else!

AQUARIUS - Can you sit still? Or are you too busy doing all the things in order to distract yourself from feeling something? That kind of activity is rarely productive, its actually a little bit counter productive. Can you be bored? Boredom isn’t the end of the world. In fact, if you can sit still and just be bored, you might actually notice the abundance that’s raining down on your right now. Chill!

PISCES - Can you give yourself permission to screw up, and still be present? That need to escape, to live in your upper chakras, to transcend everything...is actually keeping you down, and slowing down the process. Being fully in your body is entirely necessary for you to be effective. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and be fully present for yourself in that discomfort. It will be replaced with something much more fulfilling than temporary escape.
