Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord. Thank you so much for joining me today as we're going to take a look at the astrological energies from May 8th until May 15th, as we have fewer transiting aspects this week, but we do have a lot of energy in motion, as well as perhaps a change of pace, especially right after the Taurus new moon

on May 7th and May 8th. You could feel like you're finally settling in that things are a bit

calmer after the energized dynamic eclipses that we were moving through plus mercury retrograde in Ares that was

delaying beginnings and perhaps not moving things forward as quickly or as fast as you would prefer.

This is a week where we do have more that is actually solid. There's a sense of feeling stronger

and more contained, maybe even more trusting and more allowing of what is unfolding around you.

So we'll be talking about the transiting aspects of this week, but I wanted to begin with an update on the big solar

flares we've been having since May 3rd. We've actually had a very active sunspot that has been

releasing six X flares since May 3rd. And we have two sunspots that are super active right now on the sun.

They are sunspots AR-3663 and AR-3664. And when they are facing Earth earth they are much more influential and impactful on our energies

and on what we are experiencing here on the planet keep in mind that both of these sunspots

are ginormous they are considered to be eight to ten times the size of Earth,

and we have both facing us at this time. But keep in mind, the sun is always revolving, so that changes.

But when we have these two sunspots facing us, that is a big deal, especially considering how active

the sun is and how many solar flares, especially X flares, have been occurring recently. And this is

all within solar cycle 25, which is considered to be the peak of the sun's activity. So we are certainly learning

how to work with these higher, more rapidly moving energies. We are understanding as well that they

can throw us off course. They can energetically be felt. Perhaps you feel exhausted or you feel hungry. Maybe your

sleep is more disruptive. Perhaps there's just things going on that you're feeling internally,

pulsing through you. Maybe it's working with your nervous system. Whatever symptoms you're

feeling, whatever's coming up for you, know that this would be a time

to understand how to manage it for yourself because this is going to be an ongoing trend. And because
