The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (May 8)

The Moon is in Aries and Venus and Jupiter begin the day locked in a difficult square.  The planet of expansion fusing in this way with the planet of love and sensuality while she is in Taurus creates energies of intense appetite and desire.  Be careful who you invite into your life today, or your bed.  It will be difficult to ascertain whether you are acting merely on impulse or on genuine connection.  Empty carb junk-food sex is often reckless inappropriate sex.  Over-indulgence can also also bring regret or damage now, steer clear of anything that you find difficult to limit. Substances and alcohol would be prime suspects, but also food and shopping.  No is an important word to have in our regular vocabulary and today would be a great day to practice its usage.  Late in the evening Venus transits out of Taurus in Gemini, taking her out of pleasure and indulgence mode and putting her in exploration and expression mode.
