Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 16th

Today starts under the delightful vibes of the Moon in Sagittarius trine Venus in Aries (12:27AM). The creative arts, social affairs, and love ties can usually benefit under the auspicious aegis of this nurturing, 120-degree alignment. However, the bloom is off the rose quickly as the Moon makes its monthly polarity to Mercury (12:44AM) — simultaneously setting off a long void lunar ambiguity cycle that lasts until 1:13AM tomorrow. One rule of thumb during a void-of-course Moon is to finish odds and ends with a flourish while putting a hold on new, bold ventures. Despite the uncertainty present under today’s lunar condition, enjoying fun, games and sports — in a leisurely manner — is in the cards. Pallas — which had been in Virgo from November 9, 2013 until March 5, 2014 — makes its return to this sign of work, organization, efficiency, health and nutritional matters at 1:20PM. This time Pallas — strongly connected with the themes of knowledge, wisdom, genius, problem-solving and strategic thinking — will remain in Virgo until August 10. If you are beginning to pick up on strong desires and emotions coming from family members, friends and co-workers, it is probably due to Mars in Libra slowing down in retrograde motion as it nears a station and return to forward motion on Monday May 19.
