MONDAY, 5/2/2022

Your love life is booming this month, starting when Venus enters Aries today. You can attract a true love partner, someone to travel with and talk to about everything on your mind. Lovers can enjoy a lot of laughter and conversation. You might have a choice of several options, especially around the beginning of the month, which could lead to a pivotal and heartwarming event in your life. At the end of the month, this transit ends just as nicely as it began.

While Venus aligns with Aries, you’ll be noticed and even sought after. You’re oozing with passion, and you’ll stand out for sure. This is a great time to put the past behind you, embrace your greatness, and lift up others as well.

You’ll want to work hard on matters of the heart and put your best foot forward when it comes to dating and romance. Try to take a step back and let your partner do whatever is needed to make sure that you feel loved and cared for. You don’t have to do everything to hold the relationship together.

The Moon makes an early morning sextile to Venus just before moving into Gemini and conjuncting Mercury. By 9:30 AM PDT, Venus arrives in Aries and we feel ready to get this show on the road. However, things could quickly spiral out of control. Venus is not particularly happy in Aries but her power is increased through the rulership of the Sun as it forms a conjunction with Uranus later this week. The ambition we feel here is quite likely to come under review under the upcoming retrograde Mercury. We need to understand that the ground may shift quickly beneath our feet and be prepared not to count on anything like a free ride. Nonetheless, if we can couple ambition with the willingness to ride through some challenges and crisis — not taking anything for granted — we may do very well with the seeds we are planting here.

DAILY ORACLE

There is a time to act and a time to focus your attention on patient strategizing. The arrival of Brown Bear Spirit signals that you are best served by foregoing hard work toward your goals at this moment and instead taking the time out to meditate—or just take a nap so you can refresh yourself and begin planning what you want to co-create next.

Come to know the lay of the land as you contemplate and imagine what you might do in this vast space of possibility before you, and begin forming a plan. Remember, sleep allows for dreaming and rest allows for clear-headed strategizing. How might you become the person you wish to be and experience whatever your heart desires?

Insights will arise as you explore the possibilities and begin envisioning your plan. Knowing what you want will ensure you use your energy wisely in the days ahead. Be patient at this time. Relax and be calm and peaceful so you can recharge. The call for action will come later.
