The beginning of this week is quite active with Mars moving into Taurus on Monday, May 18, followed by Venus into Cancer. This is a time to slow down and think about the choices you’re making rather than just plowing ahead for the sake of movement.
As Gemini Season begins on Wednesday, May 20, followed by the Uranus Cazimi on Friday, May 22, it’s important to stay as ready as you can for the unexpected. Both Gemini and Uranus are known for throwing curveballs into your life. Pay attention to what arises this week, and remember it is better to go with the flow than be dragged by it.
