Sun and Rising Sign Horoscopes for May 2023

Hey everyone, this is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology, and today I will be joined by my friend and colleague Alex Amorosi to talk about your horoscopes for the month of May. We're going to be looking at two major transits this month, the lunar eclipse in Scorpio and the entrance of Jupiter into Taurus.

So that Scorpio Taurus axis, we will be looking at all 12 signs of the zodiac based on your rising sign; we recommend that you listen for your rising sign because that's going to correlate with the whole sign house version of your birth chart and give you the most accurate placement of those transits in your actual birth chart as long as you're orienting through the whole sign house system, it's going to be close enough for Placidus users as well that I would recommend listening to your rising sign. But anyway, you could listen to it for your sun as well if you wanted to. That is our agenda for today.

Alex Amorosi
Oh, hey, Adam.

Adam Elenbaas
Good to see you. Welcome back. If you guys don't know Alex, you can find him on Instagram. It's Alexamorosihealing, and you can find him on his website if you want to book a reading with Him or do any kind of personal one on one work with him. It's Alexamorosi.com.

Alex, this month we have two major transits, we're going to be looking at. One is on May 5, The lunar eclipse in the sign of Scorpio, and the other one is 11 days later on May 16. Jupiter is entering the sign of Taurus, so the Scorpio-Taurus axis is going to be bright and loud in our charts this month. I wanted to start and just pop up the chart and ask you for your impressions of the Scorpio lunar eclipse on May 5; just before we talk about them for any signs, what are some things that come to your mind with the lunar eclipse in Scorpio that could be applicable for everyone.

Alex Amorosi
You know, it's interesting with this is by the astrology, a very complex Eclipse there's a lot going on there's you know, you have the moon opposite the sun and Uranus. You have Mars as the ruler of the eclipse in Cancer and the moon in mutual reception with Mars, and then you also at the same time have Venus passing a square to Neptune.

So all of that, you know, on the surface, the technical name for it, I guess it's just an astrological clusterfuck, so I think it was Dorotheus Who said it, but um, you know, if we distilled it down, this is a very emotional internal Yin Eclipse. You know, I think, all the houses, you know, we can see the impact and in our external lives for sure. I'm sure we'll see that, but, you know, my impression has been of this eclipse because there's so much water involved in it. Water and earthy in science. It's a very internal process, and that's what I've been noticing, you know, with myself and with friends with clients lately that externally. Yes, there are a lot of things that are shifting around and may feel challenging, but it's the inner process and the inner emotional world that has really felt shaken up since the Aries Eclipse, which is leading up to this myth of the eclipse.

Adam Elenbaas
Nice. Yeah, the things that stand out to me, and I've said this before a few times, in some other videos that I've made, but it's just that when you have Mars in Cancer, in its fall, the Moon in Scorpio, and it's fall, and the two are configured to one another by a trine that it's like two drunk people helping each other home from the bar, you know, that image, right?

There is some kind of deep dredging of the emotional depths, getting down to the roots and scraping out the grime from the bottom of the well, you know, so you can drink clean water again, or something like that. It's like, there's some kind of emotional breakthrough; the two planets are helping each other, but they are getting into some heavier territory.

I think, ultimately, there's healing happening in this. Lots of water, lots of emotion, lots of ancestral or past kind of stuff. This is a South Node Eclipse. It's not easy stuff, but there's a promise of resolution and some kind of soothing effect that will come afterward.

I don't think it's surprising that you were just saying with the context of the eclipse, just a few days later, the sun hits a conjunction to Uranus. And there's a feeling of, like, catharsis and breakthrough that happens shortly after the eclipse; you get things like the Venus Neptune square in the midst of it, and I also wonder, you know, the, like, there could be two paths, you know, Venus in Gemini squared, Neptune could be like the flirtatious path, but maybe like the avoidant path, we're flirting with something that's deep and sort of murky. Do we actually get into it, or do we try to avoid it? But at the same time, I just think there's too much gravity in the water signs and heavy water signatures that, like something we may try to avoid, will sort of come up and say, No, you're gonna have to really look at this.

Alex Amorosi
Yeah, totally. I totally agree. One thing I have to talk about with clients with was strong water signatures in their chart; water signatures, water signs tend to like to have sort of a secret internal space, like a secret garden of their emotional space, or a secret garden in their mind. That can be a place where you can feel really trapped in your emotional world. But when you can go into it. Sometimes when you're doing energy work, you go into what's called the power place, you go into a sort of a very deep internal place where you're sort of excavating something from the psyche or from the energy of somebody where it needs to be brought into, not even necessarily conscious awareness, but just out of the secrecy of that sort of place where it feels like it has to be contained and kept in his place. Like actually, it's okay if that scene, it's okay, if that's out in the public sphere of my own, you know, maybe not with other people, but at least in my own consciousness, that I feel like that's something being liberated here with the Mars-Moon dynamic particularly.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I like that Jupiter is entering Taurus. Again, not we know 11 days after the eclipse. It feels to me like that's a little bit like we're starting to move out of Marzy Marzy territory. You know, we're, you know, the Mars is about to leave Cancer and move into Leo, a little brighter, happier place for Mars. Jupiter's getting out of a Mars-ruled sign and another fire sign and it feels to me like, after the eclipse, you get this gradual feeling of breakthrough soothing of tensions, healing of old wounds, and then this kind of sweet stabilizing presence of Jupiter entering the earth sign. What else comes to mind for you, Alex, about Jupiter entering Taurus?

Alex Amorosi
Well, you know, following along, we're just saying about the eclipse. I do think that that's a fairly intense emotional excavation, but very quickly after that, Venus will move into Cancer. Then we get Jupiter which I think she gets copresent with Mars, which I actually really liked seeing that, and she's superior to Mars. So there's like that cooling calming effects of Venus coming in. Then we see Jupiter coming into Taurus. Now I see this, especially on the 20th when Mars moves into Leo.

You know, Adam, like at the end of Return of the Jedi, where the Death Star is blowing up and Landau comes out, you know, the Millennium Falcon comes out of the Death Star, like in the plane going like that. Like, I feel like there's some sort of massive, like, cathartic moment where this moment between the 16th and the 20th. Where there's like, there's been all of this really deep, intense emotional angling of letting go and things coming to the surface and then sort of an extroverted or an external release of like, oh, we're through that, and as Jupiter moves deeper into Taurus and out of the square with Pluto there's a settling that starts to happen there's a stable I think there's a feeling of one coming into a Venus ruled sign where the there's a sense of feeling almost stabilized by the very practical things of life like being you know, being embodied or movements or being in nature and all the tourist type of ideas that I think begins with initially what feels like a really pretty powerful release, but then quickly starts to soothe and calm from there.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, I like Jupiter into Taurus also because it's now copresent with Uranus, and that's the sneaky part about this is that, once Jupiter gets copresent with Uranus, that Yee ha is such a good image. You know, the Millennium Falcon flying out of the exploding Death Star. Jupiter-Uranus is very much it's always been long associated.

In fact, right now, we have scheduled Becca Tarnas to come and give a talk during our summer Speaker Series, Jupiter-Uranus contacts. But Jupiter Uranus has long been associated with big leaps and strides in space, as you know, space travel astronomy, physics science, where there's a sort of, you know, okay, we just found that this new god particle or like, you know, whatever, like, like the sense of discovery expansion moving beyond previous limits, you know, moving into previously uncharted territory, with a sense of like limitlessness and possibility.

Now some of that comes down to earth; it's not all; it can over-promise and like undersell, but I love Jupiter entering Taurus just because it's this. It's a much more stable place, but it's also meeting up with Uranus, which is going to be, you know, really, you know, turning the volume up on originality, experimentation revolution, and Jupiter getting in there with it is going to amp all of that up. Which I think for most people will probably be a pretty positive thing.

Jupiter-Uranus contacts are, for example, often associated with, like, you're avoiding the worst case scenario because of some angel that swoops down and helps you turn your car just before you get the fender bender or whatever. So it's, I think it's a very benefic place for Jupiter to be entering.

Alex Amorosi
Yeah, I agree. I have a friend with Jupiter Uranus trine in their chart and one of the most innovative people with an ever like a wellspring of innovative ideas. It just keeps coming pouring out of them. And it's a really, I think, with Taurus to Atomy. And I could see a lot of like environmental sciences, breakthroughs in environmental sciences are like things that are supportive of the environment in some way or something like that, coming out too.

I was reading a really interesting article about different, you know, different technologies that are coming up to sort of break down plastics in the ocean or collect stuff like that. And I think that will become even more emphasized over the next year while Jupiter is copresent with Uranus.

Adam Elenbaas
Oh, that's super cool. Yeah, yeah. I love that. Yeah, it's especially very ecological, with an earth sign like Taurus like that. That's really neat. Well, let us now turn our attention to our horoscopes. And after talking a little bit about these two transits, a lunar eclipse in Scorpio, Jupiter entering Taurus again, that's the dates for these because I can't put them up simultaneously, May 5 for the lunar eclipse in Scorpio, May 16 for Jupiter entering Taurus.

We're going to be looking at the axis of houses and the different events happening in them through these two transits this month for each sign, so I'm going to start with Aries. And then Alex will add his thoughts, and then he'll start with Taurus, and I'll add mine, and we'll go like that around the wheel.

Aries
So we start with Aries rising, and you're looking at the lunar eclipse being in your eighth house while Jupiter entering Taurus comes into your second. For the Lunar Eclipse and Scorpio in the Eighth, I like to think of the end or resolution or completion of soul contracts. This relationship has fulfilled what it was designed to do. It has given what it was designed to give; it has taken what it required, and now it's time to let it go. It's probably one of the major eighth house signatures is the releasing ending impermanence, death, dissolution of various bonds, obligations, and connections that we have to other people and it doesn't have to be a bad thing, but it means that bonds and relationships are transforming in a very deep way.

The other peripheral topic would be like other people's money, something or inheritance, and things like that, maybe facing the consequences of old actions somehow. The second house, Taurus energy for me with Jupiter moving into Taurus, suggests a pretty new developmental period, a time of expansion, whether that's around money in business or for the sake of, say, developing skills and new abilities but building confidence in what you have building whether that's developing investments or you know again skills that could be used for the sake of earning an income. I find that people with Jupiter entering the second house and sometimes go back to school.

But whatever it is, it's the development of greater assets and resources that you're coming into contact with, and pretty exciting too, I think, with Jupiter considering that it's copresent with Uranus. Those are my thoughts on that one for Aries risings out there. What do you think about those?

Alex Amorosi
I think, you know, agree with this idea in the eighth house, Adam; I would say also a Scorpio being that house, just adding to what you're saying. I think Scorpio sometimes there can be a sense sometimes it's really difficult to let go of something I think is really valuable. I really need I need to hold, and I think this might be an exercise with the eclipse with the eighth house here in Scorpio of it's safe to release the thing that once brought me value that no longer does; it's safe to let go of you know, this jewel, I don't want to this the image that came to mind was like the old lady at the end of Titanic drops the diamonds into the ocean, you know like it had this idea like it was super valuable and you know, had this thing and then is like, well, you know, I don't need this anymore. I don't need to hold this anymore. It's done.

Then Jupiter is moving into the second house co-president with Uranus. I think I heard Louise Hay once say, you know, it is always easier to teach a workshop on sexuality than money because our money beliefs can be so entrenched with protection and sometimes shame and just very, very, you know, deeply rooted in our psyches.

I'm wondering if Jupiter moving into Taurus copresent with Uranus is a way of also beginning to think about or come into a relationship with money in a way you've never considered before that brings that expansion that if you hadn't thought of it would have left everything kind of status quo. But because there's sort of a book you read or a technique you decide you you find or something that takes you out of your normal grooves with money. There's a way that money all of a sudden begins to sort of have a possibility of expanding more.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah. Those are really nice takes. Yeah, I really appreciate that it adds some nice dimension to what's going on for Aries, folks. Why don't we have you take us in the direction of Taurus rising with the eclipse in Scorpio in the seventh and Jupiter entering Taurus in the first?

Alex Amorosi
Taurus
So I would say that this is a big emotional culmination point in the way you feel about or in romantic relationships. And you know, that sometimes can mean other kinds of relationships. But I generally find it to mean marriage or long-term partnerships, or romantic relationships. You know, it might be a little bit like we were talking about earlier, it may not be within the structure of the relationship itself in relationship to your partner or the way you perceive partners, but your own sort of internal sense of what you have held as a belief, or an emotional structure around relationship that is ready to transform in some way that under the light of you know, that maybe the Eclipse light of this full moon, there's a sense of like a slipstream that's created where your what once felt like a very hard and fast belief gets transformed.

But when it's transformed within you, it naturally radiates out into your outer experience. I feel like this is much more of an internal process in the water sign-in with this eclipse and just the way it's configured, but that it begins to affect relationships a little bit more, which is really interesting because then Jupiter moves into your first house, which brings such an expansive view on the self, and maybe the way you constellate your own philosophies or your belief structure about who you are.

I think that one of the things we often don't realize is how often what we call who I am, is often a collection of beliefs that we have that are very, very deeply entrenched. And it might be an opportunity for Jupiter to present with Uranus here as Jupiter makes this entrance. A year-long process of Jupiter being in Taurus where you begin to come into sort of emancipation from things you said, well, that's just how I am, or that's just what I do; to realize, Oh, those are beliefs that I hold in, they can change. These are not such solid structures as I may have believed them to be, but there's some sense of them being able to move and change and shift that helps me shift in my identity of who I believe myself to be.

Adam Elenbaas
Nice. Yeah, I love that there's an opportunity to revise our sense of who we are if you're a Taurus rising, and I am, so I'm thinking about myself; by examining the beliefs that we've held about ourselves, that's a great take on Jupiter entering the first. I really like that, and then it is interesting that it would coincide with getting to the bottom of something or going through the final stages of something around love and relationships, too.

Alex Amorosi
Yeah, yeah, totally.

Adam Elenbaas
Gemini
Let's go ahead and move along to Gemini rising. This places the eclipse in the sixth house, and it places the entrance of Jupiter into Taurus and the 12. These are difficult houses. They are like blind spots to the individual because they're both houses that are said to be in an aversion to the ascendant. So what that means for ancient astrologers is that almost like there's the unconscious is a little bit more active and powerful in these areas. And there's not as easy as time controlling or understanding what's happening in these areas, even though they can be very in front of us.

For example, the sixth house can be the conflicts that keep coming up in your life, the health problems you can't get to the bottom of why it's happening, or the conflict just somehow can't be resolved. The 12th house is often associated with the things that undermine us, but we can't see them; we don't know where they're coming from. Hidden enemies are another way of putting that.

I think with a sixth house eclipse, though, we're reaching the potential for, like, maybe a place where we can understand some kind of conflict or turmoil or sickness or frustration because I think the south node and Scorpio nature helps us get to the bottom of things, as I've said a few times. So I just wonder if this isn't a kind of a moment where it's like, something that we've been that's been grinding us down for a while is sort of the power has. The power it has over us is concluding; it's like not going to have power over us anymore. So I'm trying to say, at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, there was some chaos and conflict emotionally.

Now, I also wonder if some of that might be related back for Geminis to things around money and resources, given the placement of Mars in the second, just to be a little bit more specific about what kind of conflict and turmoil and what things are coming to a head. But then Jupiter enters the 12th, and here's what I love about Jupiter entering the 12th as someone who's just gone through it.

Jupiter entering the 12th has a way of redeeming and bringing confidence out of insecure places, places where we've gotten off track, where we've undermined ourselves, where we don't believe in ourselves, where we haven't figured out how to integrate or incorporate parts of ourselves. Jupiter goes in there, and it just shines a light. It's such a redemptive planet to have in the 12th house.

But it can also amplify the degree to which those undermining influences are there and, you know, taking us off course somehow. And so it's like Jupiter will amplify the undermining spirits or energies, but it also will help redeem them and somehow bring them to the light. Its natural position is to move into the first house after it finishes in the 12th. So I think for Geminis, it's like, on the one hand, you're finishing a season of, maybe, some really hard, intense emotional work. But then there's also Jupiter entering the 12th season ahead that has to do with starting to redeem some things. It's still going to require work, though.

Alex Amorosi
Oh, I love that Adam; I'd never thought of Jupiter in the 12th that way, but that just really like kind of illuminated. Something I've seen a lot when I've seen this transit. That's beautiful. It's interesting. I was thinking of this. There's a book I really loved by a Vedic Astrologer on the lunar nodes. She describes if you read the description of the south node in this book, it sounds a lot like Pluto. Right? It has a very Pluto-like feeling to it; it has a lot of the same sort of ways we talk about Pluto in modern astrology, you know, death and rebirth and the release of things and moving things out.

You know, having just had some not only sixth house, South Node, but also Pluto transits. It does have that quality of if there's something that feels like that thing that keeps happening, and you can't figure out why it keeps happening, and it maybe affects your physical health in the sixth house. I often find the 12th house is a little bit more in the psycho-spiritual realm of the mind.

This is a really wonderful opportunity under this eclipse if you're willing to see very clearly, and sometimes that can be difficult; something can be revealed under the south node can help sort of flush that out or pull out, whatever feels like the, the, the, the energy structure that's been causing that there and it can really create a lot of healing.

I'm not saying it would necessarily be easy, but I think that the movement of Jupiter quickly, you know, quickly after this into the 12th house, that's a planet you want to see coming in after a really, you know, sort of intense inner emotional eclipse like this that that bring that redemptive quality and the clarity.

Adam Elenbaas
Nice. Let's go forward from here to look at Cancer rising. We'll let you lead this one.

Alex Amorosi
Cancer
So we're gonna have the, for cancer risings. We're gonna have the lunar eclipse in the fifth house. And you know, when this comes to mind, for me, I'm thinking about something coming to a head or something internally being recognized or in your emotional space being understood. Around what actually makes you happy? I think there could be a story here with Cancer rising of, like, you know, I've gone along with certain things like, yeah, this makes me happy. Yeah, this makes me happy.

But Scorpio has a way of bringing you down into the depths and being like, I hate to quote the Spice Girls here, but tell me what you want, what you really, really want. Does this make me happy? Does this bring me joy, you know, like it a little bit with Scorpio to have like, I don't really care what anybody else thinks, I don't really care if anybody else thinks this is weird or off or, you know, strange in some way, this is something that really brings me joy and really allows me to find joy. So, maybe even just allowing yourself to go towards those things this month with the fifth house.

Then Jupiter moving into your 11th; I mean, that's Jupiter's joy. It's a wonderful place to be in for Jupiter; I could see something like real benefits around through your social and professional networks coming to you. Maybe even something that supports, I'm just looking at, you know, Jupiter now being Saturn's host in your ninth house. I'm just throwing this out of something that allows you to go back to school in some way for like some sort of higher education degree or something like that, or even a reevaluation of how your belief structures, religious structures, spiritual structures are formulated within your own mind. Some sort of blessings are coming through your social and professional networks; maybe allow something like that. I just see Jupiter moving in here, Adam as a positive sign for Saturn, too, in Pisces.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, like spiritual, religious community growth and change and development, like a fertile period for new people coming into your life with new kind of reworking of belief structures, integration of beliefs and people in the right mix. I love that for Cncers this month.

I think the same thing with what you said with respect to the fifth house, like what do you really want? What brings pleasure? What brings creative fulfillment? Maybe this is a lunar eclipse in that house; you can see things around pregnancy and children coming up with decisions about pregnancy and children. Maybe also questions about sexuality. This is the house of Venus, after all; the fifth is called the joy of Venus. So, you know, Scorpio Eclipse, getting down to the bottom of sexual issues, especially whether it's like repression or, you know, problems with pleasure or something like that. It's also about, you know, exploration, like getting into darker, more forbidden places around pleasure too, I would say,

Alex Amorosi
Absolutely, absolutely.

Adam Elenbaas
Leo
Alright, let's put Leo on the ascendant. So the Scorpio Eclipse is happening in the fourth and again, that is, on May 5, and then on the 16th, Jupiter enters Taurus in the 10th. So you know, we're looking at an eclipse that's bringing things to a head in the house of home family, parents, karma related to your living environment or your home. So this is a big change. The eclipses here can bring up some painful old baggage around family stuff, especially the wounds from parents, dysfunctional parents, or homes and the trauma of those environments.

Even if it's not, you know, if it's just reliving the past or speaking with a therapist and having a breakthrough or reliving or having to re-experience something from the ancestral past that's coming up again, you know, but this is an eclipse that is about processing purging, releasing, purifying family karma, or anything involved with what provides you with a sense of home safety and, you know, a feeling of emotional security and what's threatening that or what's creating it or, you know, how do you establish that? Those are some of the questions behind the eclipse, as far as I can tell.

I love Jupiter entering your 10th for Leos in terms of the opportunity for expansion, development, enthusiasm, charisma, breakthroughs, experimentation in career, or what is the life calling all about? What kinds of possibilities and new opportunities are you thinking about? It's a great year for Leos to have Jupiter and Uranus together in the 10th. I love that for where professional things are going.

Alex Amorosi
Yeah, absolutely. I love that idea with Jupiter and charisma, Adam is something I often forget about with Jupiter, but it's true; it just gives that little extra shine, you know, where to bring that out. And man, were you speaking the mantra of as a Leo rising the fourth house, and that's what I've been wrangling with a lot of internal stuff.

I think one of the things I know, just speaking from experience with this, and I don't know if the viewers will resonate with it. But I've had to look at my past much more objectively, especially my home life, and come to terms with some pretty difficult truths about some ways that I grew up. But in the process of that, over the last few weeks, what I would offer to Leo is if you're facing that deeper stuff within, you know, ancestry home family of origin, I have felt safer internally than I've ever actually felt in my entire life.

I have felt like, you know, I used to be so scared of relaxing because when I was relaxed, that's when shit would hit the fan, and now I'm feeling like man, you know when I relax and just relaxed, and that it's my nervous system will sometimes bring up old panics that happen around different inconsistencies and abuse that may have happened, but that I allow myself to realize now actually, you know, here I am as a 43-year-old adult I'm perfectly safe. And I'm allowing myself like I actually feel my body physically detoxing the stress out. It's a very, very Scorpio self-node type feeling.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Any thoughts about Jupiter in the 10th for Leos?

Alex Amorosi
I'm so psyched. Jupiter coming into our career house and squaring Pluto on the way in; I think it is actually a really positive sign for some real growth, possibly, you know, some financial expansion that comes in as a result of that. It could also be a time where you're maybe, like, configuring your career and the ways that romantic relationships are shifting and changing with Pluto in your seventh. Maybe even, you know, meeting someone who, like, you know, shares a similar career vision or path is you in a romantic relationship that, you know, brings expansion to both of your careers. I could see all of those happening with that. Right?

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, absolutely. Let's move on to Virgo rising; you want to lead us off on this one.

Alex Amorosi
Virgo
So we've got a lunar eclipse in the third house; I always feel bad for the third house.

Adam Elenbaas 33:30
Changes in your mind.

Alex Amorosi 33:32
changes in your mind and your siblings and your everything else we didn't put in the other houses, we'll put in.

Adam Elenbaas 33:38
The junk drawer of the houses.

Alex Amorosi
I think the third house eclipse; I could see something here. One thing I've actually been working on is the idea; you talk about the idea of the environment, and the third house is maybe coming to grips with coming to a culminating point with certain ideas about what you're surrounded with every day. That may no longer serve you, no longer holds value to you, or maybe your values have changed around them, and there's a desire to kind of put the pedal to the metal now if there are shifts that need to be made in your surrounding environment to make them,

There's sort of again of, you know, a Scorpio and the South note here; there's that emphasis on releasing the thing that no longer is a value to you. And it could also be something that's just like a mental pattern. Something that is going on within your on your sort of in your cerebral mental sphere. That is, you know what? This pattern just has run its course. It no longer has value to me, and I have to release it in order to move forward.

Then you have Jupiter moving into your ninth house, I mean, a classic sign that is, you know, could seek someone going back to school getting a law degree, you know, maybe deciding on a different religious or spiritual path that feels like it brings a more sort of expansiveness to the belief structures that you have. So, you know, I could see someone with Jupiter moving into the ninth house of being something like, you know, I've decided that in order to move forward in something, I need to have a little bit more gravitas to my credentials, or you know, or have a spiritual practice that really supports the newer belief structures that are coming into place. So it's just some ideas that are percolating around from that one.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, you know, it reminds me of a time when I look back once at when I had ninth and third-house eclipses because I've had, obviously, a couple of rounds of them. Yeah, life. One period I had, I was kind of opening myself, let's say to psychedelics and to entheogens and things like that, and as my guiding beliefs were transforming because of contact with those experiences, I realized for a time that I could no longer have televisions in my environment.

So I removed all the TVs from my environment and did so changed the environment because my spiritual vision for life was changing. To me, that's always been a good example of how transits across the ninth and third can function simultaneously; you got Jupiter entering the ninth with Uranus copresent and a new moon coming through up there and so forth, and the feeling is of expanding and transforming belief systems; they will be directly connected to feeling like something in the environment isn't working any longer.

It might be sometimes, like, for example, recently, for my wife's birthday, she's a double Taurus. So, you know, early in Taurus season, April 26 is her birthday. So one of the things that I did was I set up a consultation with someone who specializes in helping you kind of reimagine, like the pink color for a room in the house, you know, like, they'll it's not like a full designer, but it's basically like, you know, a consultant that'll come over and sit with you and help you like, figure out how you want to transform a room in your house. That was one of the things I got her for a birthday, and the reason that I did so was that I was having experiences across my ninth and third house transits that were helping me recognize like, oh, you know, like, I'm a Taurus rising Venus and Leo, and my wife's always kind of deferred to me for a lot.

It's weird because a lot of times, I think it's women who make the decisions in the in, you know, in the relationship, at least between men and women, about, like, what the style or paint or what decor is going to be like. She's always sort of deferred to me more in that way, and I just realized this, like one room in our house that I was like, I think it's time for my wife's creativity and her handprint to be like, on this room. Like, I want to live in her world in this room a little bit more because I'm not sure that I know any longer why I made the choices I did about this room; it seems like a really stupid thing, but it was coinciding with a shift in beliefs and the spiritual paradigm that led me to the simple observation about a room and then the idea for her birthday gift. That's a third house, ninth house kind of thing, too.

Alex Amorosi
Totally interesting. I like that.

Adam Elenbaas
Libra
Yeah. Let's move along to think we've said a good amount about that. Let's go into Libra Rising. This place is the eclipse of the Scorpio eclipse in the second house entrance of Jupiter into the eighth. This is a powerful place; you're thinking about the culmination of, you know, storylines around money, resources, business investments, income, and expenditures, reaching some kind of moment of catharsis might be like that you're coming to the end of a difficult period financially, or a period of feeling like a little drained of your resources or the need to transform how you're working with them or which resources you have or need. Something is changing around that, and then Jupiter enters the eighth and starts bringing in new possibilities and opportunities that probably come in through other people you're meeting or through people that you already know that have a new set of resources or ideas or ways of collaborating that might provide some real breakthroughs.

Often, I'm a little skeptical of eighth house transits because it's a little bit like a contract you're signing, and you don't always know what you're gonna get. But with Jupiter and Uranus there, I feel like, you know, some relationships, some collaboration, some new soul bonds are going to be very liberating for Libras and what they provide and how they help you create breakthroughs. That's really that's super profound. Also, what do experiences of being drained lead you to need help with?

You know, having to ask for help and receive help from other people could be quite liberating. Since I think Libra, you know, my experience of Libra risings is often that they're quite deferential, and not it's not always easy to stand up for yourself and say, this is what I want or need. So, I think these could be some very positive signs for Librans around these two houses.

Alex Amorosi
Yeah, I agree. I feel like, you know, with Mars ruling this eclipse from the 10th house, too, this feels like a very career money series of transits for Libra risings. I could see a scenario from what you're describing to Adam, like, you know, Jupiter moves into the eighth house, and you know, someone, your spouse or your partner gets a big bump in income, and you maybe have been working really hard to, you know, keep them the finances going, you get a little bit of a break from that, you know, the eclipse kind of bringing that to a combination.

Maybe you allowing you to also explore some, you know, Inklings to, to make some shifts around career, in career with Mars moving through the 10th house and, you know, quickly into your 11th house after this to for Libra risings, which, you know, may take some action through your networks, you might feel a little bit more flexible financially to take some action through networks in the coming days in May, that you maybe couldn't have taken before the eclipse that kind of frees you up. That's one way I could see this happening.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, also, I think I want to just add again, don't be afraid to ask for that help or seek it out actively.

Alex Amorosi
As a Libran, Ask for what you want.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah. Let's go across the Scorpio. Scorpio risings have the eclipse in their first and Jupiter entering the seventh.

Alex Amorosi
Scorpio
Well, you know, I could see this being a period of, you know, since the beginning of 2022, we've had the south node move into the first house, a way you are shifting your identity and releasing old ways you think about yourself, or even things about yourself that have changed that change the way other people see you and that this full moon, this eclipse moon being a culmination point in that, especially as it relates to maybe the deeper, more secret recesses of your psyche, as those places are seen and excavated, or maybe even just cared for a little bit more, there's a way that it sort of shifts your relationship to the world that it's noticeable and people actually relate to you in a slightly different way.

Then you have Jupiter moving into the seventh house, you know, shorthand on that is generally a good sign for relationships. It's generally a really nice sign for cohesion, cohesiveness, order, and relationships, especially Jupiter moving into a fixed earth sign. You know, if there's felt like sometimes, you know when we're in a relationship, or even wanting relationship, those deeper inner shifts that you're experienced in the first house, can cause some amounts of shifting and changing within the relationship and maybe even feeling of instability emotionally within the relationship that as Jupiter enters the seventh house, it feels like it just brings that nice cohesion like after all of this change the relationship acclimates or begins to acclimate towards that new point that the first house has arrived at.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, I could see it being like because I've changed, I'm ready to welcome a new relationship into like, almost like, sometimes people go through periods of time where it's like, I'm healing from something that happened in the past of a different relationship and then all of a sudden, some catharsis happens, a little shift emotionally and then the door just swings open, and someone new is entering.

I could see that as a real scenario for a lot of Scorpios out there also, Scorpio risings. Also, just the idea that meaningful relationships that help you facilitate greater growth and change are entering, and that could be Jupiter. Sometimes in the seventh, I think of meaningful teachers that are entering our lives, and that could be a lover but could also be literal teachers.

So it's like a point of emotional breakthrough, personally and psychologically, and then followed by meaningful new possibilities in relationships.

Sagittarius
Let's go on to Sagittarius. So with Sagittarius, we have the eclipse in the 12th, and we have Jupiter entering the sixth. Now for the eclipse in the 12th house for Sag's, this one, to me, is probably the heaviest placement for the eclipse for all the signs. You're looking at, you know, real deep, heavy unconscious material coming up and revisiting it. Old stuff resurfacing, you're looking at, you know, the processing of wounds and emotional baggage, and the good news is, I think that this could be very healing, but it's not like easy stuff to look at Scorpio 12th House South Node lunar eclipse.

However, right after that kind of deep, cathartic unconscious space is opened up in the Eclipse, Jupiter enters the sixth. Jupiter, in the sixth, along with Uranus, says to me, there is a great work worth undertaking, a great sacrifice, a great effort, and I have hope and excitement about doing the work. For example, if that eclipse brings up stuff in your relationship, which it could; if it does, so I think you're gonna find that you have renewed commitment and excitement either start a new chapter in your life, even if it's a little hard, you have to move out, or if it's about digging in and doing the work with a partner to move forward and have a healthier future together.

But that there's an excitement and, again, a charisma with Jupiter in the sixth sang, there's great work, but I'm mission-driven, I'm excited, this is going to lead to a breakthrough. This is good work that I want to do. It's kind of like when you're excited to clean out your garage or something; it's not fun to clean out your garage, your attic, or basement, or whatever it is. But you know that this is going to be awesome. I'm going to turn on the music, you know, and I'm going to feel so good when it's all done, and you do when it's all done. So I think I think there's something about like, Okay, this is heavy, but then there's going to be this very inspired sense of, like, but I can do it that comes along with it.

Alex Amorosi
Absolutely. It's funny because my favorite thing in the world is after I clear out a lot of clutter, like when I come home after that, and that feeling of like I can see that being the feeling that comes up eventually for Sag's here. You know, when I was looking at this earlier today and kind of checking out where this is all falling for everybody. This really caught my eye because the sixth, the 12th, and the eighth houses are all highlighted because Mars is in your eighth house, and moving towards your knife was still ruling the eclipse from your eighth.

But I think you know, Adam, just riffing off of what you were saying, when you hit all three of those houses at the same time, it can feel especially for Sagittarians as it saturates on; I can say we are always looking for the expanse of optimistic hope and everything. It can feel kind of especially contrasted when there are these very deep, especially inner water places that are really triggered all at once.

At the same time, Jupiter moving into the sixth, just to echo what Adam was saying, does give you a can-do attitude with it, like, okay, here it is. It's, it doesn't look great, and it smells bad, but we can do something with it; we can get out, you know, put on gloves, and off the borax, and we can start scrubbing this out, you know, whatever this is.

I would just say Just quickly on this, too, is, I think for Sagittarians, the tendency is oftentimes to move with hope, and to hope and to dream and to see the expanse of possibility, which is beautiful, just being very discerning with this constellation of the eclipse and the movement of Jupiter of not just relying on hope, but a Jupiter moving into Taurus, a real concrete embodied action around what you might notice. Because it's very easy to get caught in that, and I'm speaking fully from experience.

Adam Elenbaas
Let's move into Capricorn next, which constitutes the Eclipse and Jupiter entrance into Taurus in the fifth and 11th houses.

Alex Amorosi
Capricorn
Well, I would say the eclipse in the 11th house is interesting. I would say this is a culminating moment for you as a Capricorn rising of what's been going on in the networks around you or the people around you, your allies, your friends, and then, you know, obviously, I always build this out into professional networks too, but also just, you know, looking at the people and the structures that support how you're known in the world or support your career in general, things that may have felt like under the surface need to change for a while under this eclipse or like, you know, what this has to change, it has a more of an imperative behind it. You know, maybe something, there's been a certain group or maybe people within a group that you've been allied with for a while that it's like, you know, what, that did serve its function. It was valuable for a time, and now it's time for me to move my allegiances or my focus to other groups that support my career and the way I'm known in the world in this way and in a different way.

Then Jupiter moved into the fifth house. You know, we could just say, you can shorthand there might be things that come up around pregnancy and children for that, definitely, with Jupiter moving into the fifth house. That's a possibility. But Jupiter in the fifth house is like, are you enjoying your life, man? Like, are you just like, you know, are you really allowing yourself, like, what are your beliefs around enjoyment? What are the structures of thought you've created around the ability to creatively enjoy the things that bring you a lot of pleasure? You know this is definitely a place where you might be exploring different or innovative beliefs around sex and sexuality, which I could see with Jupiter and Uranus being copresent. But I like this transit for Capricorns.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, I really like that Jupiter copresent with Uranus; for me, that suggests that you're at Capricorns, you know, for Capricorns to have a creative breakthrough, a breakthrough around joy and pleasure and the sense of creative fulfillment, that you're going to create something or that you need to create something that will liberate and breakups stuckness in some area, that strikes me as the most promising part of this month for Capricorns.

The lunar eclipse says maybe for that to happen, you have to let go of certain people, certain groups, certain social dynamics in your life, or maybe some of them are, are reaching a place, you're getting exhausted by them somehow, but there's change around social dynamics groups, allies, friends, and communities. There's also this invitation to expand and explore creatively. Absolutely.

Aquarius
All right, let's go on to Aquarius rising. For Aquarius rising, we've got the lunar eclipse in Scorpio happening in the 10th place, which is the place of career where we have the entrance of Jupiter into Taurus in the fourth place, which is the place of home and family and property.

So I think the lunar eclipse in Scorpio shows up in the 10th house, and for some people is going to mean the end of a job, it's going to be the end of doing a particular type of job or working for a company or the end of something professionally. For other people, it's going to be the end of a project or the end of, you know, a period of working with certain people, or it's going to represent internal changes within a company, or it's going to represent reaching your limit somehow with some aspect of your work. Okay, this particular way in which I work can no longer be, so I think of conclusions, transformation, death, and letting go of the career for Aquarians.

Whereas with Jupiter entering the fourth house and now being copresent with Uranus, I love the idea that your base is your home; your foundation is expanding. For example, I could see this easily coinciding with a woman realizing that she's pregnant or about to have a child and about to take a sabbatical, or is it maternity leave? That's what I mean. So, you know, the word sabbatical, by the way, although it's used in universities to represent someone taking a year for study or something like that, actually comes from the word Sabbath and sabbatical is also another word for taking a deliberate period of rest. But either way, the idea that you're something is growing and developing and expanding around home and family around roots and living environment, there are a lot of new possibilities entering there, like the soil is being turned over, around home and family. New life is growing in that area. There's also a letting go happening in terms of your external world and how you appear out in the world or what you do for a living.

Alex Amorosi
Yeah, I love that. I think, you know, one of the things I think is so interesting about Jupiter going into the fourth house here is, you know, there's, there are so many times when we're looking at our family of origin, or, where we've come from, and where we're in the ancestral patterns of our family, there can be such a feeling of sometimes it feeling very disparate or very detached in some way.

Like, you know, well, this thing happened over here with my mom's family. This thing happened here with my dad's family, and they seem like very unrelated events. One of the things Jupiter does so well is Jupiter takes things that feel unrelated and makes a cohesive narrative out of it like, so I could see someone who's just like, you know, maybe something that has shifted in the 10th house and like the culmination of how I'm seen in the world or the what I brought to my career, how people notice me is coinciding with the rediscovery of or maybe even the creation of a new philosophy or narrative about what it meant to come from where I came from, what it meant to be there, how I made sense of that and brought it all together.

Adam Elenbaas
Well, that leads us to our last sign and set of horoscopes for the day, which is Pisces rising. And that takes us into placements across the third and ninth house again; what do you think about these, Alex?

Alex Amorosi
Pisces
Well, you know, we have the lunar eclipse happening in your ninth house, which is interesting. I feel like this is actually a really nice transit, though it might be a little challenging for Pisces in the sense of clarifying and bringing discernment to your religious or spiritual beliefs. And I think sometimes with Pisces, there can be like everything kind of melds into that, you know, that watery mist for Pisces. And I think that with Scorpio, there's a little bit more clarification in Scorpio ruled by Mars and a sense of, I've held a certain doctrine or belief or philosophy for a long time. I'm starting to get an itch that, like, you know, that may not be the way I want to go forward, it may not serve me anymore, it may never have served me, and this is a wonderful opportunity to release that.

In some way, that brings a sense of greater order with Jupiter moving into your third house, greater order and cohesiveness to the environment around you where you feel like what's around you makes more sense, there's greater meaning to it, which I think your rising sign, ruled by Jupiter is something very important; I think to Pisces and Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter is meaning.

Order in something that feels like maybe it also grounds you a little bit in Taurus in this wonderful fixed earth sign. It's something that allows you a more innovative approach to grounding yourself, whether it's in nature, whether it's embodied practices, whether it's even something as simple as, like, I don't know, a cooking class or something but something that just gets your hand in the dirt, metaphorically speaking, that comes around from this.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, I like the idea of this being a time of letting go, especially of any kinds of beliefs or ideas that have maybe been acting as a kind of toxin or poison to the environment that you live in, and that now it's time to redeem, revive, resuscitate something about the environment because you're ready to let go of thoughts and ideas that just haven't been creating harmony haven't been creating flow. That's the very first thing that comes to my mind for Pisces this month.

I really liked everything that you said as well. So I'll just add that little thought alongside it. Well, there we did it. We got through all 12 signs, and I hopefully gave you guys some good things to think about and anything else you want to add in before we leave today, Alex?

Alex Amorosi
Just you know, I think right now, I just want to draw attention to the fact that we're in a weird eclipse window and that this is a very intense, you know, sort of period, but I do think as we get towards I'm curious, your thoughts on this too. As we get towards the end of May, as Jupiter moves into Taurus, Mars moves into Leo; Mars has had a really awkward ten months of movement, and I think we'll feel a little bit more, at least more neutral and Leo, that there's a sense of like, as we get into June, things don't feel quite so inwardly emotionally intense that there's a progressive lightening that begins to happen over May after the eclipse.

Adam Elenbaas
I agree. I think that progressive lightning, especially, goes from Jupiter entering Taurus on the what is the 16th forward. The new moon and Taurus come through on the 19th, you know, then Mars gets out of Cancer; like you said, there's a pretty big moment later in May where you've got the T square between Mars, Pluto, and Jupiter. That's a pretty powerful moment, but it also just strikes me as a moment of feeling empowered into action and things like that.

So that's a big transit; we'll be spending time with my youtube channel this month. But aside from that, I feel like the early part of the month is like it's all about cleaning out some really deep stuff that we've been working on for like a year very gradually, very slowly, all sort of coming to the surface at once.

Alex Amorosi
Yeah, I agree. And that's what I say with that. That Mars, Pluto, Jupiter, that's the Death Star. Lando is leaving the Deathstar.

Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, totally. That's the moment of, like, All right, let's, we're, let's go. We're out of here. Yeah, exactly. Nice.
