On May 5th, Mars will square Jupiter. Mars rules Aries and is strong here. Jupiter in Cancer is exalted, which makes both planets effective. Jupiter in Cancer wants to protect the motherland, or is like a protective mother. The aspect can cause inflammation and arguments. On the other hand, it is also an enterprising and enthusiastic combination. Risk-taking and asking questions later are major themes. Jupiter in Cancer and Mars in Aries, in a square, can turn a political debate into actual violence. Jupiter is an expansive energy and can mean fighting abroad.

On the 6th, Pluto will start to retrograde until October and will be square to Mercury with the exact aspect on the 6th of May. It may be a very politically charged week.
