In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of May 13th – 19th brings opportunities to connect with your true self. This involves the Sun making a conjunction to Uranus and then Jupiter in Taurus to symbolize moving against conventional rules or social norms. Venus will also conjunct Uranus this week, emphasizing the relational element of this phenomenon. It’s a time where you are discovering more about what it means to be authentic with yourself (Sun-Uranus) and with others (Venus-Uranus). Also this week, the First Quarter Moon in Leo brings an added layer of emphasis around the polarity of self-expression vs. performance. At this point in the monthly lunar cycle, you may be questioning how to move forward in your life based on your priorities vs. the expectations of others. Finally, Mercury moves into Taurus and will square Pluto in Aquarius – this transit is an opportunity to think deeply and discover hidden truths or treasures you may not have realized up to this point. This week, remember that unmasking the true self is a continued process over the lifetime. Thank you for being exactly who you are right now. Wishing you a lovely week 🦋
