Astrology for Saturday, 2 May 2020:

Today the Moon ingresses into Virgo with reception from Mercury in Taurus. In Virgo, our attention shifts toward practical matters, efficiency, and optimizing the tangible processes through which we carry out our daily lives. The Moon makes a trine to both Uranus and its ruler Mercury in Taurus. Uranus provide the force and momentum break away from established protocols and invent new practices for supporting ourselves. Mercury in Taurus is an expert manager of goods and services, potentially either connecting us to the material resources that we need in order to accomplish the tasks at hand or putting us into contact with people who can. The Moon then makes a trine to the Sun in Taurus, extending illumination and recognition to what might otherwise seem like mundane or menial tasks. If the last six weeks have taught us anything, it is that work we previously took for granted can very suddenly become essential. Jobs that we considered undistinguished can quickly become clarified as necessary for life and livability. What work are you or those around you doing that you are still taking for granted? Can you take some time today to offer acknowledgement and gratitude for all the seemingly small things that are necessary for our lives to function well?
