“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.” — Honoré de Balzac.

It appears that the planets are appropriately towing the line this Mother’s Day as the purposeful Sun in steadfast, devoted Taurus forms a harmonizing sextile to magnanimous, inclusive Jupiter in maternal Cancer (10:14 pm), an influence that ideally serves to foster/strengthen our relationships, especially those that connect us to our familial or ancestral roots.

“Storms make trees take deeper roots.” – Dolly Parton

Jupiter is viewed as the “growth factor” in astrology and when it is deposited in nurturing Cancer it is thought that we are more amenable to displaying greater amounts of empathy or compassion, which can also, ideally, add to our own reservoir of personal well-being. A win-win situation all around!

Too, many astrological devotees are also, no doubt, keeping fingers crossed that the Sun in “material girl” Taurus, sextile to “cosmic Santa” Jupiter, will work its reputed magic and result in generously replenishing all of our coffers! 🙂

Luna is also in her Waning Crescent phase in progressive Aquarius until 1:39 pm, at which time she will shift into soothing, dreamy Pisces, which is regarded as an excellent period for reflection, journaling, or cleansing/clearing out activities.

On This Day in History: On May 10, 1872, Victoria Woodhall (b. 9-23-1838), a suffragist and civil rights activist, becomes the first woman nominated for the US presidency by the “Equal Rights Party” at Apollo Hall, NYC.

Astrologically, that day, philosophical, expansionist Jupiter was in Cancer – as it is now – and separating from a sextile to the empowering Sun, courageous Mars, and transformational Pluto all conjunct in determined, plodding Taurus. Jupiter was also conjunct unconventional rules-breaker Uranus, the planet associated with equality; the sign of Cancer is also linked with patriotism or love of country.

Earlier, in 1870, Victoria Woodhall co-founded Woodhull, Claflin & Co. with her sister Tennessee Claflin, making it reportedly the first female‑owned and operated brokerage firm on Wall Street. The sisters’ starting capital reportedly came from railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, who had employed them earlier as spiritualists and fortune‑tellers, giving them stock tips that he used to his advantage.

Happy Mother’s Day! Hope it’s a good one!
