Weekly Astrology May 6th 2024 Forecast for All Signs

ARIES

‘all flesh is proud of its wounds, wears them

as honours given out after battle,

small triumphs pinned to the chest -’

Jane Hirshfield. For What Binds Us

There’s something called ‘Proud Flesh’. Maybe you’ve heard of it. It refers to how the flesh grows back across a wound. To quote the American poet Jane Hirshfield again: ‘with a great vehemence, more strong than the simple, untested surface before’. In her poem, she is of course, not just referring to visible scars. But also to those within. But which we perhaps do not display.

In astrology, this is all linked to Chiron. In myth, Chiron’s wound which occurred when he freed Prometheus, made him what he was. So this week, courageous Aries, do see your scars as triumphs. And ones which have made you stronger even if they are not on public display. In your vulnerability lies your strength. And take it you are now forged to bend but not break.

Because of this, as Mercury meets Chiron in your sign (7^th), you are willing to take a chance and try an entirely different approach to an old issue. This can see some of you letting down those defences. Because you now see no matter what the risk is worth the rewards. And you are strong enough to do so. And brave enough to take a chance by trying something radical and new when it comes to getting an outcome you want.

You’ll also see that what occurred before doesn’t necessarily define what your future outcomes will be. All this daring and out-of-the-box thinking vibes with the new Moon in Taurus and your 2^nd house. It falls close to Uranus and then Jupiter. Signalling big shifts and blue sky freedom creating choices. This is the house of your self-worth and you will act in the name of that. Knowing that those wounds were gained as a result of striving for something better. Bare your soul and your scars. These are your strengths. No more striving. Just results.

In a nutshell: The new moon in your 2^nd opens the gateway to more resources. While one long term cycle comes to a close, news could arrive of a new one. If more is your goal this week – be brave to try a different approach.

TAURUS

Spring into a new era

Unfurl the real you

What emerges takes you into the future

The essence of spring and new beginnings isn’t found at the Equinox for you, Taurus. It’s when the new Moon appears in your sign. Which it does this week (8^th).

You’re the egg that’s about to hatch. The butterfly emerging from the chrysalis. There’s a desire within you to be different and to be seen in a new light by others. This new Moon falls close to both Uranus and Jupiter. So, any adjustments you make to your look, appearance, style, profile or image, are likely to be revolutionary and unmissable. You goal is to make others sit up and take notice. You see yourself as your ultimate work of art. Self-directed and totally unique and inspired.

You’ve just a few weeks left to make the most of Jupiter’s capacity to not only big up that personal aura, but to show you just how powerful a best face forward adjustment can be when it comes to drawing new opportunities to you. What you project outwards is merely a reflection of an inner-held belief. And this is a powerful activation point when we engage in this when planets are in one of our houses of attraction. Our first house being the main one.

Your love drive is supercharged along with your desire to show everyone just who you really are. Of course, others and the universe can’t help but respond to this. And the more uniquely you serve you, the more bespoke the results, Taurus.

In a nutshell: This week’s highly personal new moon in your sign asks you to enter a fresh cycle of personal attainment, Taurus. Jupiter’s now in its end game in your sign. Get ready to receive a final blessing.

GEMINI

Go beyond the outer limits of your ideas

Nurture those dreams

Countdown to something new!

All your spidey-senses should be tingling by now, Gemini. You just know something big is headed your way. That feeling of excitement, anticipation and optimism tells you Jupiter is getting closer.

Ahead of its arrival, there’s a spark, a germination of an idea happening on the 7^th when ruler Mercury mixes it up with outrageous object Chiron in your 11^th. Something daring could emerge from this. A radical new goal, group or direction for you to head in.

But the new Moon in your 12^th the following day says you may not yet be ready to go with it, Gemini. Perhaps because you know pursuing it takes you into unknown territory? Or maybe you just don’t feel quite ready? Whatever the reason for your hesitation, this new Moon’s proximity to both Uranus and Jupiter, show you that not only can and will you go for it when the time is right, but that the few weeks remaining until Jupiter breaks down your front door, is just a countdown phase.

Use this time to fuel yourself up with confidence. Or to simply refine those plans. Above all, whatever you are planning or thinking of doing – don’t dismiss it. This is just the playful and experimental side of Jupiter making itself known. The more open-minded you become now, the bigger the Jupiter benefits you’ll enjoy in the coming year. You don’t have to know exactly what form this will take yet. Just enjoy the rush that’s building that tells you – it’s big.

In a nutshell: Jupiter’s arrival in your sign is now just weeks away. That growing feeling of bold anticipation tells you something big is about to happen. If you’re not yet ready to go with that new idea – continue to nurture it. By next month, the countdown’s over.

CANCER

Collaborate? Or fly solo?

Reaffirm those goals

Go beyond when it comes to friendship

Powerful new beginnings are always ushered in for you at the time of a new moon. No matter what sign or house they appear in. A key area of your life experiences emotional renewal. You feel differently about it. Or what was cut back, springs into life once more.

Are you thinking about a collaboration? Or envisioning a goal where you go it alone? A new goal comes to the fore with the new moon (7^th). Which also falls conjunct Uranus (which rules your goals and also this house), and wish-fulfilling Jupiter. This moon inspires you to set something new in motion for your future. And whether it requires you involve others or become the sole magician bringing your vision to life, this moon is the point where you need to set it in motion.

You have just three weeks left of Jupiter’s magnificent goal-blessing generosity left, Cancer. At the end of this month it will enter your 12^th. So do continue to make the most of it. If you are thinking collaboration at this time, know that including someone else in your vision, could see it exceed all expectations. If all you need is you to work that dream – have someone in mind to emulate. That person who has achieved something similar. You don’t have to know them personally. A role model can see you accessing those creative resources. And have you keeping the faith that yes, if they can, you can too.

There’s a friendship renewal happening as well. This new moon sets the tone of your social life for the next six months. Either reach out and revive those existing connections. Or put yourself out there to make some new ones. Go beyond that usual orbit. When it comes to friends and goals – that’s where your future gets created.

In a nutshell: This week’s new moon in your 11^th entices Uranus and Jupiter into manifestation magic when it comes to goal delivery. Connections old and new, form part of the system. Get creating – and connecting, Cancer.

LEO

How has the last year taken you higher?

Discover where you stand out

Redefine your idea of success

The new moon in your 10^th isn’t just about your hustle, Leo. It’s real potential lies in you creating something lasting. This is also your house of roaring reputation and public persona. You know how important these are to you. Look back over the past year at the opportunities that have arrived for you to amplify these. This new moon’s proximity to Jupiter could bring about your most satisfying success story to date.

The moon also falls close to Uranus. Which means your ruler the Sun does too. Highlighting an opportunity to stand out that’s designed with you in mind. It could relate to that main or side hustle. That long term project or plan. It will certainly unleash your inventive streak when it comes to ensuring you stand out.

What gets delivered boosts your rep or gets you noticed. It can also bring acknowledgement and rewards for long term efforts. For some, this can even come in the form of an escape route or to head in a different direction if that’s your idea of a success story. What’s more, you’re playing a long game when it comes to the final outcome or take-out. Delayed gratification tastes even sweeter, Leo.

In a nutshell: The new moon in your reputation and rewards sector encourages you to make it your way as it embraces both Uranus and Jupiter. What succeeds for you could be new, exciting and send you on a fresh trajectory, Leo!

VIRGO

Go where change wants to take you

Freedom and solutions beckon

Answer the call

Don’t resist change this week. Go with the flow and above all, trust that you’re heading in the right direction. And will end up right where you are meant to be.

Going with the flow makes the most of it. And guess what? Once you stop resisting change, more than one door may swing open wide. Ruler Mercury combined with Chiron could have you at a key point in the classic S/Heros Journey in your own life this week. Where the protagonist receives the call to change or adventure. And initially resists.

The call comes again. In your case just two days later with the new moon in your 9^th. Things may suddenly gain traction. And take on a life of their own. You step off the precipice between one phase of life and a new one. Any remaining resistance gets swept away. And you along with the momentum.

The new Moon triggers both Uranus and Jupiter in Jupiter’s ruling house in your chart. Travel or a literal move into something bigger occurs. You take that first step on a longer journey. Solutions, positive changes and a fresh opportunity appears. Either as a direct result of you surrendering to change. Or simply being open to it.

You only have a few more weeks remaining of Jupiter in its ruling 9^th for you. You’ll look back to this final stage of its transit as the time when new possibilities opened up. Right when you opened up to change.

In a nutshell: Flow with change and don’t resist it. Doors to evolutionary freedom, solutions and opportunities open wider than ever with this week’s new moon. Is it time to break out into something bigger, Virgo? Now’s your chance, so take it!

LIBRA

Look forward in love

Clear the path to freedom

Ready for renewal?

There’s something you’re creating within a connection this week. So, whatever you do, don’t dwell on the past or missed opportunities. It’s all too easy to become so focussed on regrets and disappointments, we miss the opportunities that are trying to reach us. Aren’t you ready for something new, Libra?

Mercury and Chiron’s meet cute in your 7^th, seems to say that you are. Don’t be surprised if there is Option A and Option B available to you now. Ask yourself what you believe will happen depending on the choice you make. Then maybe opt for the choice not previously taken.

We’re weeks off Jupiter moving into its ruling 9^th in your chart. And the choice you make this week clears any remaining residue stopping expansion from entering your life. The new Moon in your 8^th, which falls close to Uranus and Jupiter (8^th), opens up space which can be filled by upcoming potential. It also hands you that indescribable feeling of stepping into your own power. There’s no more indecision around what you’ll choose, do next, or even what you want. If Option A or B doesn’t suit – you’ll create Option C yourself, Libra. More in your New Moon in Taurus Moonscope.

In a nutshell: A new moon of rebirth and renewal falls close to Uranus and Jupiter this week. In your house of transformation, expect a big shift around choices and connections. There’s more than the traditional options on offer.

SCORPIO

Love can be more than for just one person

What takes you further?

Big up that grand passion!

The who, what and where of love. Don’t think of love as purely the romantic kind. Your 7^th house is about all its myriad possibilities, shapes and forms.

You have enjoyed a rare, 12 month love peak courtesy of Jupiter in here. You only get Jupiter in this sector of your chart once every 12 years. And usually only one new moon super-charged by Jupiter’s big love vibes while it is in here. The 8^th brings you yours. Timed for the final weeks of Jupiter’s stay. So, whatever you want to do, embrace or go in the name of love – know you can take this with you for your future.

It’s not only one-to-one relationships that receive Jupiter’s abundant blessing now. But creative endeavours. Travel plans. Any big passion. Your 7^th is one of your houses of attraction. From where you can attract what’s missing in your life. Which may not be love for a person. But certainly one that makes your heart beat faster.

That love takes you into your future. No matter who or what it is for thanks to the new moon energising Uranus – planet of goals and your future path. If it excites you – that’s love. If it releases you and evolves your soul – ditto. Don’t focus on what’s behind you. This is Love 2.0. Future-proofed.

In a nutshell: There are so many ways to express love. And a new moon and Jupiter in your partnership sector deliver you options. This may not be for just a person. But can be for any passion. What you do, a subject or activity, or even a place on the map. Explore in depth.

SAGITTARIUS

Breakthroughs reframe something precious

Clear the path for love

Get it done!

Time to leverage those smarts, your ability for big picture thinking and to apply passion to pretty well any task you set your mind to, Sag.

First – expect a breakthrough in your thinking or around something close to your heart. A solution manifests itself unexpectedly. Or a surprise twist hands you what you’re seeking. Or something even better. You take a calculated risk and the results are better than you could ever have imagined. Thank Mercury and Chiron in your 5^th.

Back to the biz, Sag. You’re now in the mood to do the work thanks to the new moon in your 6^th (8^th). It appears during ruler Jupiter’s endgame in this house. And close to Uranus. Ushering in a better, more exciting and inventive way of taking care of your everyday business. Whether your work is paid or unpaid.

You’re three weeks away now from Jupiter’s arrival in your 7^th. Something you’ve not experienced in 12 years. So, clear the decks for some legendary love action ahead. You’re more than willing to focus, put in the work and tackle those outstanding tasks. A new job, habits, way of working or simply living shows you that focus and persistence, hand you benefits in more than one area. Persistence and attention is the new self-care under this new moon, Sag.

In a nutshell: Tackle those outstanding ‘To Do’s’ as you don’t want to leave any loose ends ahead of ruler Jupiter’s arrival in your house of duos, duets and double acts, Sag. Something shifts around a matter that’s close to your heart. Maybe simply how you see it!

CAPRICORN

Go for the effortless

Get ready for last minute love!

Magnetise that link between you and what you desire

Fire up your light and send it shining out into the world, Cappy. The new moon in your 5^th close to Uranus brings sudden and startling possibilities. With your creativity, interpersonal relationships, children and anything that sees you lit up, also receiving Jupiter’s superboost.

Now is the time to put yourself out there. Dance on moonbeams! Meet the new beginnings and possibilities that are waiting for you halfway. It begins by taking a chance. And if you are going to indulge in a new moon ritual, as this is one of your houses of attraction, include what you want to manifest. And imagine a sliver of moonlight activating your vision. A magnetised cord of attraction drawing to you whatever you desire.

These are Jupiter’s final weeks in your 5^th. By the start of June it will have moved on into your 6^th. Jupiter tends to love the power of the last minute. And of course, Uranus loves the surprise. So, don’t lose faith that what you want isn’t coming. Feel the connection between you and the universe and what you want. Follow your heart and go in the direction of bliss and joy. This new moon wants you to experience the big emotional easy. Not the struggle. Give anything that’s still a struggle a miss this week. And watch what effortlessly flows your way instead.

In a nutshell: A fabulizing and flirtatious new moon links you to unexpected surprises and attraction. Make the most of Jupiter’s final weeks in your 5^th. It’s time for a last minute burst of attention and love!

AQUARIUS

Move into your future

Home truths lead to expansion and freedom

Embrace a grander design for living

This week’s new Moon in the Moon’s ruling house (your 4^th), in your chart, falls conjunct ruler Uranus. If a situation regarding home, family, your path or living situation, hasn’t worked out the way you hoped, the planets this week align to bring about something more satisfying.

As well as Uranus, the new moon meets Jupiter also in your 4^th just hours later. We’re now looking at the end of Jupiter’s whole life coaching influence in here. In just a few weeks time it will move into your 5^th. And when it does, will trine Pluto in your 1^st – something you’ve not experienced before in your lifetime. Ahead of this – get your house in order, Aquarius.

Ancient rulerships always apply. Ageless ruler Saturn in your 2^nd receives a superb sextile from the Sun on the 7^th. This tells you that improvements you make are lasting ones. Satisfaction, security and stability are on their way. You can take pride in your work, your decisions and what you establish for yourself. And those you care about.

The secondary message of this new Moon especially combined with Uranus, is claiming your own place or path. The week’s alignments can hand you a move – of home or job, or a complete change of direction if your current course no longer provides satisfaction. Or you move into a new community – a group of souls which seem more like family than well – family. It happens. The end of this Jupiter in your 4^th cycle should provide a fabulous homecoming feeling, Aquarius.

In a nutshell: There’s no place like your future, Aquarius. This week’s new moon conjunct ruler Uranus invites you to move on in. The best thing of all – it’s a bespoke creation designed with you in mind!

PISCES

Shared values form the basis of love

Communication fuels connectivity

What you say yes to turns out to be lasting!

Shared values and goals form the basis of love and all kinds of collabs this week, Pisces. From a communication point of view, look to the many ways you can convey these.

Business, work, studies, short journeys, writing, getting about and the internet all come under your 3^rd house. As do neighbours and siblings. News which stems from one, some or many of these, could bring you an opportunity. And again, it’s aligned to a person or entity who shares your brand values. Or wants what you want.

You have all the ideas and the words to convey them with the new moon (8^th). If you need to launch, apply, ask for something, or meet with someone, this is your day. And again, you’ll be letting them know what you stand for. And in turn, asking the right questions to discover what they do too. When it comes to dating, this will prove to be the key factor. And any connection where you feel talking is easy and conveying your feels effortless, will flourish. However, you’ve neither the patience nor the attention span for the boring. You’re done.

Innovative new ideas crowd your consciousness. You’re willing to experiment with fresh ideas, apps, platforms and devices. You could even upgrade the latter. Ancient ruler Jupiter receives a final blessing from the new moon as it has just three weeks remaining in this house. As well as delivering news of a new beginning, it could assist with the purchase of that new device or even a means of getting around. Which makes getting your value out there easier. Whether IRL or online – expect a delivery from followers to that yes answer.

In a nutshell: Your message goes further, that following grows, you and another enter into an agreement or come closer by you asking the right kinds of questions, Pisces. Say what you mean to say under this week’s new moon. And in any way you can!
