Weekly Finstrology Update for May 28: Holiday Enthusiasm Takes a Late-Week Hit

All times Eastern

Good news for the technology sector continues over the long holiday weekend as both benefic planets, Venus and Jupiter, are in play. Money planet Venus trines powerful Pluto on Saturday in the air signs of Gemini and Aquarius, respectively. Twelve hours later, Jupiter enters Gemini, adding its behemoth energy to things of air. 

As markets in the United States open for the week’s trading on Monday night, Mercury enters the picture through the week’s end. It might reveal hints of long-term plans as it makes a sextile to Saturn late Monday. 

The last trading day of both the week and month could well prove the most interesting, however. That’s when Mercury conjoins Uranus in Taurus at 1:54 a.m. Friday. This combination indicates the potential for surprising news about financial matters during the overnight trading hours because the conjunction occurs in Taurus, ruled by the money planet Venus.
