Sun and Mars in Taurus make an aspect of opposition to Saturn in Scorpio and Mercury in Taurus May 2, 2013...

Today, April 30^th, 2013 (Sydney - Australia), Sun in Taurus is in opposition to Saturn in Scorpio. This opposition may create a conflict between our need to express ourselves and our obligations to others. On one hand, the energy of the Sun in Taurus is firm and we know what we want to do, but we are resistant to change. And on the other hand, Saturn in Capricorn generates a need to fulfill our duties according to the demands requested by the people around us with a need for urgency. To rise to this conflict, I recommend being honest with people and asking them to be honest with us too to find the balance.

The next day, Mars in Taurus will also be in opposition to Saturn in Scorpio. It can increase the feeling of irritability when people around us ask us to complete tasks that were not planned ... we should control our temper, consider the priorities and use the energy of these two forces to do something that requires concentration and thoroughness.

On Thursday, May 2^nd, 2013, Mercury joins Taurus’ energy, strengthening the financial, commerce and sensuality in our thinking and communication. Mercury in Latin Mercurius, was considered the messenger of the gods in Roman mythology. Most of his characteristics and mythology were borrowed from the god Hermes in Greek mythology - patron of trade, finance, eloquence and the god of travelers.

In astrology, Mercury rules our minds and ways to express ourselves in the world. He was associated with the media, transportation, symbols, maps and transmission lines including the codes that are used in computing. Mercury represents our motivation to speak, write, dance and sing. Also, it relates to our curiosity and need for information, power of concentration and attention to detail. However, for people who have a strongly marked personality with Mercury aspects may not be able to be visionary or see the "big picture" but to focus on the details. In relation to our body it is associated with the nervous system and brain. On a personal level, the way we communicate depends on the house (the twelve sectors into which the astrological chart is divided into at the time of birth), the sign where this goes and, the aspects that the planet Mercury has with other planets in our Natal Chart.

Mercury in Taurus, our mind works with common sense. We are practical and patient with the power of concentration. For this reason, we may see the truth easily but we should say it in subtle ways. We have the ability to understand the logic of business and life in general, being able to use our ideals and values to obtain the results we want. That is, once the decision is made it is very difficult to change...

From May 2^nd 2013, harmonic aspects start between planets in Earth and Water signs dissolving old attitudes and letting love be our guide.

• Sun Trines Pluto: It's a great day (May 2^nd, 2013) to see ourselves inside and find what motivates us.  We could begin to study or catch up on something to improve our daily lives. This transit also favors researching, completing our tasks and impressing someone with our skills.

• Mercury conjunct Neptune (May 4^th& 5^th, 2013), stimulates our imagination, activates our sixth sense and we can clearly see the points of view of others. It is recommended to do yoga, metaphysics and trust our senses and feelings, however, avoid jobs that require attention to detail

• Mars trine to Pluto (May 6^th, 2013), gives us the opportunity to reform situations or aspects of our lives to achieve our ambitions. Also, we can formulate our long-term goals and understand our motivations to transform certain aspects of our life. In astrology, the houses where these planets are transiting give us the key to know in what areas we need to make changes.
