Week 9 - 15 May 2022
Jupiter moves into Aries and Mercury goes retrograde...
Hello and welcome to another week in astrology…
There are no two ways to say it: this is a massive week and everything starts to kick off on Tuesday!
First of all, we have Mercury, Planet of Communication, going retrograde this week until 3 June which means that this is NOT the time to buy electronics or do things like change your style or dye your hair. Remember that you will likely experience delays if you travel and check all communications like emails and tweets before you press send!
The second huge cosmic event, also happening on Tuesday, will be Jupiter moving out of Pisces and into Aries, and whatever Jupiter touches right now will get a jolt of new energy and a sprinkling of luck.
Read on to find out which area of your life will be affected by lucky Jupiter in the go-getting Sign of the Ram.
Aries: Image, identity and position.
Taurus: Inner life and spiritual pursuits.
Gemini: Community and groups.
Cancer: Work and position.
Leo: Foreigners and foreign lands.
Virgo: Sex and sexual desire, shared finances.
Libra: Committed relationships and partnerships of all kinds.
Scorpio: Health and daily routines.
Sagittarius: Lovers and children.
Capricorn: Home and family.
Aquarius: Communication and short haul travel.
Pisces: Finance and values.

What the May-June 2022 Mercury Retrograde Means for Your Zodiac Sign - AstroStyle
Until May 22, we may feel a double dose of communication chaos, as Mercury retreats through its home sign of Gemini. Expect friction in peer partnerships and do your best to avoid getting roped into taking sides. Triple-check your words before posting, sending or signing anything. Since Gemini rules transportation, try to hold off on purchasing anything with wheels until early June. Got an unfinished manuscript, podcast or workshop idea? Blow off the dust: This is an excellent time to take a deeper look and make revisions.
Key Mercury Retrograde Moments to Prepare for, 2022 - Chani Nicholas
On May 10th, Mercury stations retrograde. Temporarily take the brainstorm platform back to private mode — at least until you’ve had time to decide how you want to communicate your message. This retrograde will support you in sorting fact from fiction. See above for the list of Dos and Don’ts.
And now for a look at the week according to some of our favourite astrologers…
Astrostyle:
As grandiose Jupiter revs its engines in Aries for the first time since 2010-11, it restarts its journey through the zodiac. This enterprising cycle is all about breaking barriers, developing new philosophies and candidly calling things like we see them. With everyone’s gambling instincts red hot, there’s a danger of leaping without looking. Leadership grabs and diva duels could leave jaws on the ground (and power structures in tatters). For best results, take the initiative in all areas of life, but play fair!
Cainer Horoscopes:
This week, the lasting relationship between the Sun and Mars, ahead of Jupiter's first visit to Aries in over a decade, highlights the value of good preparation. It's never a good idea to set out on an adventure without a compass, and Mercury's move retrograde ensures that taking the time to verify co-ordinates and consult maps before setting out on journeys will conserve energy and effort. Yet we can only look so much before we leap! When facing uncertainty, faith will bridge the gap when the facts fall short.
Cosmopolitan:
This week’s one’s for the books! On Tuesday, Mercury Retrograde begins, helping us review, reunite, and rethink until June 3. On the same day, Jupiter enters Aries for the first time since 2011 and stays there until late October, inspiring us to step into our power, freedom, and self-expression as we pursue what makes us feel fully alive.
Glamour:
In a nutshell, over the next two months, fortune favors the bold through taking direct assertive action! Don't wait; just do it; expand your world, take up space! Mercury is doing the moonwalk back over some recent history; it's retrograde again. Check everything like your data depends on it because it does. This is a great time to clear the decks and clear your inbox, messages, photo files, and anything else collecting dust and taking up valuable storage space in your life.
