MOON PHASES (New York time, USA):

NEW MOON in ARIES on MAY 4 at 18:45: Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted, and it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public. More stable relationships are possible but in the same time you should remain young in your life style.

FULL MOON in SCORPIO on MAY 18 at 17:11: Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus. Now it’s time to recognize what makes you comfortable and stable. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power–what’s yours and what’s mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others. Try to avoid becoming a freak control person.

Jupiter in retrograde motion in Sagittarius

Jupiter in direct station in Sagittarius starting with 10 August 2019

Jupiter in direct motion in Sagittarius starting with 12 August 2019

During this retrograde cycle of Jupiter, people tend to learn from their own experiences some faith-related lessons, and situations may arise when certain adjustments are required for some large-scale projects. If you are traveling during these times, try to organize your traveling better and do not panic if you lose your luggage. You will learn not to rely on the help of others, and you will become more adaptable to reality.

SATURN is already in CAPRICORN, until March 21st, 2020.  Saturn is dignified and functioning well. This is a time for turning a critical eye to those of Your career choices that don’t accurately reflect Your authentic selves. Capricorn and Saturn want respect and Saturn in Capricorn will work hard to earn it. Conservation is a big theme now. Rewards come from putting in the effort. You might also be striving for more authority in an area of your lives now. Saturn demands simplicity, definition, realism, and truth and it tests your weak areas that need strengthening.

During this retrograde cycle of Saturn, you will feel a slowdown or a jam in certain activities, it depends a lot on what home in the natal chart Saturn in transit, and if Saturn meets the personal planets, then the situation is personalized altogether. You will work harder, or you will make a bigger effort in making plans, and some adjustments or expansions are not excluded for better efficiency. Saturn usually requires a better organization or structure of information. Relationship with certain authorities is complicated, so any action, to be completed, requires patience and perseverance.

URANUS is in TAURUS for 7 years, read my article about this long transit here: https://goforastrology.com/uranus-ingress-in-taurus-on-15th-of-may/

PLUTO IN CAPRICORN:

Pluto in direct motion in Capricorn starting with 4 October 2019

During this retrograde cycle of Pluto, has a role of resetting an activity in your life and assuming a new beginning. Usually this change is harder as your resistance is higher. As the old Greeks called it Pantai rei (Everything Flows) people prefer to learn that life means a permanent change, which implies that flexibility and adaptability are the most important attitudes to change. And the Chinese, in their special alphabet, the word crisis has two interpretations: danger and opportunity, which means that in any crisis there is at least one opportunity for growth and learning.

IMPORTANT NOTES: In all my astrological research and interpretations, I use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history. When I am writing about aspects between planets, I use aspect from sign to sign; I am using a traditional way of interpretation of aspects. An aspect is not a must to be at perfect orb to have an effect. It is enough if we have a planet in a sign that forms an aspect with another planet from another sign. The most powerful aspects are: conjunctions, oppositions, squares and trines. 

I wish you the best transits!
