Speaking of the planet of possessions and pleasures, Venus begins her retrograde on May 13th, the same day when Mars moves into Pisces, and that retrograde lasts until June 25th. In addition to finances, Venus represents who and what we love. After being cooped up for the past few months, our desire to reconnect with loved ones or indulge in a little retail therapy or pampering will be particularly strong, especially with Venus in sociable Gemini

Forecast May 4-10, 2020: The House Is A Rockin’
Over the next two weeks, we will be entering a consequential seven-week-period. This is the impactful time frame that I’ve been talking about the economic implications of for over a year. I had no idea that COVID-19 would facilitate the financial challenges that I foresaw, until this past February when news of the impending pandemic began to break. Now is when we’ll see and experience the monetary cost of the virus. To start, this week includes a sign change for the lunar Nodes, a full Moon in Scorpio and the beginning of Saturn’s retrograde. By the end of next week money planets Venus and Jupiter will also be retrograde, and later in June Neptune and Mercury will be retrograde. On June 25th Venus goes direct and on July 1st Saturn re-enters industrious Capricorn, marking the end of the cycle we’re now entering.
Forecast Apr 27-May 3, 2020: Down To Earth & Back To Work
Talkative Mercury enters the tactile and tangible realms of earthy Taurus this week, turning conversations to money, material assets and physical well-being. The planet of communication in fact gets the week started on Monday by leaving impulsive Aries and moving into grounding Taurus. On Tuesday there’s a struggle with Saturn. But a conjunction with game-changing Uranus on Thursday is set to break up any gridlock and to reveal alternative pathways. As astrology’s fixed earth sign, Taurus values what it can see, smell, taste and touch.
Forecast Apr 20-26, 2020: Getting To The Bottom
Taurus is all about taking its sweet time, and this massive planetary pileup is likely to add new, undreamt of dimensions to the term slowdown. Taurus is also the guardian of resources, raw materials and durable goods. Extended shelter in place orders, along with limited and gradual re-openings of selective business sectors, will prolong economic challenges. As I also recently noted, the coming Venus retrograde will be in the sign of Gemini, the sign of lungs, respiration and the nervous system. Venus’s retrograde in Gemini underscores concerns about new COVID outbreaks. Venus is also the ruler of productive, practical Taurus and one of astrology’s money planets.
Forecast Apr 13-19, 2020: Shakeups, Breakups and Wake Ups!
From the most robust territory of the cardinal fire sign, the Aries Sun will square Pluto on Tuesday and Jupiter on Wednesday. Those two are of course presently entrenched in Capricorn, the sign of governments, banking and economic systems. It’s hard to say what will shake out from these confrontations, but it’s fair to say that a whole lot of shaking will be going on

If variety is the spice of life, then we’re in for a saucy week. Personal planets Mars and Venus will make their way into progressive Aquarius and social Gemini, Mercury and Neptune will meet up in Pisces, and Jupiter will join forces with Pluto in ambitious Capricorn, adding further reverberations to January’s Saturn Pluto conjunction. On the one hand, the year’s established Capricorn and Pisces patterns are resurfacing. On the other, we are assuredly breaking new ground.
Forecast Mar 23-29, 2020: The Reset
On Thursday the Moon moves into sturdy Taurus. Taurus is astrology’s fixed earth sign. Resources, finances and raw materials are within its abundant domain. The Taurus Moon will make constructive connections with the planets in endeavoring Capricorn. It will also receive boosts from Uranus and Venus, also presently in Taurus. While the Moon transits this sign, money planets Venus and Jupiter will form a very lucky trine late Friday night.
