Hello and welcome to another week in astrology…
First of all, a little note about the weekly and monthly horoscopes being slightly late…
As you know, this newsletter links to other astrology websites, and BohoAstro, Jessica Adams, Vice AstroGuide and Astrology Zone by Susan Miller have all experienced glitches this week as the Mercury Retrograde shadow period began, meaning that they were down or were not showing the correct horoscopes.
Some are still not back online at the time of writing, although this is perfectly normal as Mercury Retrograde approaches and communication and electronics go haywire.
Moving on…the big news this week is Venus moving into the sign of Aries the Ram.
Venus is the planet of love and partnerships, and Aries is the fiery first sign of the zodiac.
The love planet will take on the flavour of this sign now, meaning that our relationships, including work or other collaborations will be front and centre. There will be more effort needed to compromise but, if you have been having issues, this is absolutely the moment to try and hash it out.
You may find that an unsatisfactory relationship has hit its natural limit and, if that is the case, this is the best time of the year to give it some attention and think about making a clean break.
Venus will be on Aries from 2 - 28 May, so you have about a month to sort things out…
And now some Aries in Venus resources…
Venus in Aires Is About to Majorly Impact Your Love Life - Popsugar:
Aries season may have come and gone, but we're getting one more chance to tap into that Aries confidence! On May 2, Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and aesthetics, enters bold and blunt Aries. When Venus moves through different zodiac signs, it flavors the way we approach matters of the heart and our relationships. With the planet of love traveling through Aries, we're more emboldened to go after what we want, and we might even act with a dash of impulsivity, too
Venus Is In Aries: It’s Time To Shoot Your Shot - Refinery29:
Is it hot in here, or is it just Venus in Aries? On May 2, the Planet of Love will enter the bold and spontaneous sign of the ram where it'll stay until May 28. For the next month, our love lives will go from zero to 100 — we'll fired up and flirty — and even though Venus is in its fall in Aries, the vibes are still immaculate.
And now for a look at the week according to some of our favourite astrologers…
AstroStyle:
Get ready for a blast of blazing heat this Monday, May 2, as vixen Venus vaults into Aries, igniting a passionate spring awakening! Impulse control will be scarce between now and May 28, but as a rule of thumb, zip and unzip judiciously. Venus is in “detriment” in Aries, a tricky placement for the cosmic seductress. Feelings run hot and cold, attractions sizzle then fizzle, then spark back up again.
BohoAstro:
Make the most if this week’s wonderful aspects! There’s the lucky, powerful sextile between Jupiter and Pluto, plus positive aspects between Mars/Uranus, Sun/Uranus, Mercury/Venus and Sun/Mars. Which is particularly good news for Sagittarians, Scorpios, Aries, Aquarians, Leos, Geminis, Virgos, Librans and Taureans.
Chani Nicholas:
The real show-stopper of the week is the Sun’s conjunction with Uranus, on May 5th. An invitation to break free, innovate, and disrupt, this astrology is begging us to break up with outdated norms, habits, and patterns. If growth means destroying the earth, what kind of fortune is that?
And for something a little different…
Indian horoscopes usually use Vedic astrology or a mix of Vedic and Western astrology, and are usually really detailed and precise compared with Western horoscopes.
Two favourites which have mixes of daily, weekly, monthly horoscopes and astrology articles can be found at the Hindustan Times and the Times of India.
Good luck and have a great week!
