Love Lanyadoo Astrology 5.31-6.6.2017

🔮Astrology isn’t magic even though a good astrology reading is totally magical.

It’s a system of forecasting events that relies on the movement of the planets in our solar system to predict what comes next. It’s an invaluable tool for understanding ourselves, our lives, and others. This week there are some “easy” transits, and then there’s a single “hard” one. When I tell you that there’ll be easy transits, you may get excited, but remember this: the chill stuff is just as easy to ignore or take for granted as it is to seize upon. Pain and turmoil demand your attention while a gentle breeze does not. This week, your homework is to be grateful. Take breaks in your day to recognize your choices; to appreciate your freedoms; and to value your health, your safety, your good hair day – whatever you can direct your gratitude toward. Embrace opportunities for connection, growth, or just unwinding.

On the 30th-1st, Mercury – the planet that governs your mind – will trine transformative and deep Pluto. Then on the 31st-2nd, agreeable Venus will trine Saturn, the planet of time. These two transits are nice and easy, so work to make the most of them. The Mercury transit is an excellent time to reach out to contacts and make meaningful connections. This is a great time for studying, healing work, and reconciliation. On it’s heels is the Venus trine, which will bring stability and patience. Pour your energy into the people and things you value on these days, and keep it real, babies. There’s no point in calling security and peace to a situation that isn’t right for you. Manage your finances, organize your closet, and spend time with the people you want to be with in the long haul.

The second half of this week is when shit gets real. From the 3rd-5th, the Sun will form a square to fuzzy Neptune. This can produce a great deal of anxiety and confusion, so remember to breathe through your feels before you endeavor to manage your stresses. These are the days to bust out your Sage or Palo Santo and clear away whatever energy you’re feeling that isn’t yours. Because this transit isn’t happening to you personally (it’s happening in the world), everyone will be affected by it, and that means that everyone is likely to be a bit off. The positive side of Neptune is compassion, empathy, and generosity, so strive to embody those qualities when you feel overwhelmed. You may be called upon to accept something that you really don’t want to this week, so remember this: acceptance isn’t consent, it’s awareness. Wanting it to be a sunny day is reasonable, but insisting that it's sunny when it’s objectively pouring rain outside just isn’t. Treat your reality with true kindness, and cope with it from there. ☔️

ARIES

March 21-April 19

It’s easy to point fingers, but it doesn’t take anyone very far. This week is all about the power of your heart, Aries. If you act in ways that you’re able to justify, but in your heart of hearts you know isn’t right, you’re likely to feel all kinds of off this week. Even if it’s hecka awkward, now’s the time to be vulnerable and offer yourself to the people or causes that you believe in. Behave in new ways and attract new dynamics into your life because real change has to start with you.
