The Sky and Zodiacs for the:

Month of May

This month…

…Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn turn Rx (Retrograde) – Pluto is Rx…

…Master deceleration – Get ahead

May is traditionally, for the most part, dedicated to the Bull, Taurus. The Taurus energy teaches us to take slow, cautious steps on the stepping stones of life. Stop and smell the roses, is a bull’s mantra. This month most of us welcome this energy, after a universally wayward April. The Rx (retrogrades) may slow us down, but that seems exactly what we need to regroup, before we enter the Age of Aquarius.

Before i go into details regarding our solar system’s planetary interactions and how they relate to us, let me very briefly introduce our planets in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest, to the newcomers who are curious enough to visit but really have no clue about astrology and zodiac signs.

Sun: center of our galaxy, associated with Leo, sign of creative force-Helios in ancient Greece, the god of light.
Mercury: nearest to the sun and fastest moving, associated with Gemini and Virgo, signs of communication-Hermes in ancient Greece, messenger for the gods.
Venus: next in line and second brightest star on our sky, associated with Taurus and Libra, signs of strength and beauty-Aphrodite in ancient Greece, goddess of love.
Earth: following suit, the planet of life growth, associated only by element (earth) with Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn- Gaia in ancient Greece, the primal mother earth goddess.
Moon: the earth’s only natural satellite, associated with the sign of Cancer, sign of nurture- Artemis goddess of hunting and a healer of women.
Mars: the red planet, associated with Aries, sign of assertion and drive –Aris in ancient Greece, god of war.
Jupiter: the largest planet of our system radiates double the light it receives from the sun, associated with Sagittarius, sign of expansion and illumination- Zeus, in ancient Greece the god of gods.
Saturn: next the ringed majestic planet of order, associated with Capricorn, sign of duty and dependability-in ancient Greece the god Pan, protector of woodlands and shepherds.
Uranus: the gas giant, associated with Aquarius, the sign of innovation- Aquarius or beautiful Ganymede, the son of Trojan king Tros, was taken to Mount Olympus by Zeus to act as cup-carrier to the gods.
Neptune: a striking blue giant, associated with Pisces, the sign of healing and illusion- in ancient Greece representing the fish into which Aphrodite and her son Eros transformed
Pluto: the yellow dwarf planet or huge asteroid, associated with Scorpio, the intense truth-seeker- he was called on earth by Goddess Artemis to kill Orion who wanted to destroy all animals.

MAY 2020

What to look out for in May, more so in the second fortnight(*). It is understandable to experience extreme ‘cabin fever’ on the northern hemisphere, as the seductive warm weather calls on us to loosen our guard. We must ardently hold our posts. The time frame between May 21st-June 7th, can make us or break us. Hard work and faith in humanity brought us to this point. Let us hold on just a little longer.

Venus squares Neptune and Mercury conjuncts Uranus May 4-6, as Venus stations at 20 degrees Gemini, before it begins its Rx (retrograde) motion at 21 degrees Gemini, on May 14 and well into June. Innovative ideas are on the table. At this point, they are unable to come to fruition, due to premature conditions.

Mercury, traditionally the communication planet, is also connected to health. We are still experiencing the effects of its Rx motion in Pisces, from Feb 17 to March 10. Pisces is connected to hospitals, institutions and pharmaceuticals. Combined with four major planets in Capricorn, it comes as no surprise that we are dealing not only with the pandemic itself, but all it entails; Mars (out of control), Saturn (limitations, hard lessons learned), Pluto (transformation) and Jupiter (hyperbole).

Needless to say, it is good news indeed when Mercury direct, conjuncts the Sun on the 5th. May 6, North Node enters Gemini (South Node Sagittarius) and turns Rx (retrograde), May 15-25. Hastiness in communication or being too scattered, can cause irreversible damage. On the 7/8 Mercury sextiles Neptune. On the 9th, it sextiles Pluto* and on the 10/11 it sextiles Jupiter. A good dose of stability and practicality permeates communication, creativity, financial restructuring and expansion. On May 7/8th, the Full Moon at 17 degrees Scorpio trines Neptune. Passion for a project or an idea can flourish. Scorpio is a truth seeker, a brilliant and penetrating ‘surgeon’. Neptune governs imagination and creativity. The grounding presence of Mercury/Sun in Taurus and Jupiter/Pluto in Capricorn, can have a significant positive impact to a passionate endeavor on both a personal (depending on your chart) and collective level. We could have some encouraging news regarding the development of a anti-virus shot or a plan for global financial relief. Or both. On May 11/12, Saturn* is at a stand still on 01 degree Aquarius and begins a rather slow Rx (retrograde) for the month. We may feel less motivated or tired. In this case, prioritizing and setting a slower pace, can benefit greatly. On the 11th, Mercury squares Mars, making us reckless and stubborn, a recipe for heated arguments, aggressive behavior and accidents. Luckily on the 12th, Mercury enters its ruling sign, Gemini. A significantly better day to exchange ideas and draft contracts. Or compose a song, poem, business plan! May 15, Jupiter*, stationed at 27 degrees Capricorn, begins its Rx (retrograde) motion. On the same day the Sun trines Pluto and illuminates financial issues with a positive end result. Jupiter is trined by the Sun on the 18th and at a slower pace, we get its blessings instead of exasperation.

(*)There is a Mutable party going on May 21-23 and the hosts are Pisces and Gemini! Leave serious conversations, contracts or relationships at the door! How come? The Sun enters lighthearted, chatty and messy Gemini, May 21st. Venus is also in Gemini but in Rx (retrograde) and squares non transparent Neptune in Pisces. Mars joins in, as it entered Pisces on the 14th. Mercury adds deceptive information to the mix, as it squares Neptune on the 22/23rd. Luckily, on the 22nd, the Sun and a New Moon at 2 degrees Gemini trine Saturn. This affects you more, if you have personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 6 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and 28 to 30 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn). Here we get some of the positive aspects of the Twin energy; flexibility, quick reflexes, communication, movement. The Saturn trine adds stability. Some countries, for example, can have certain sanctions lifted. May 25-26 Mars sextiles Uranus. Ideas, plans or inventions that were abruptly terminated or postponed around May 1st, could be put back on the table. It is a short trip for Mercury in Gemini. It enters sensitive and intuitive Cancer on May 29th. Stay objective.

You may notice occasionally astrological dates can seem to be one (1) day off, (for example a planet enters a sign on the 12/13). This occurs because calculations are based on Tropical Midnight Ephemeris, Time Zone EDT (04 west). Add or subtract hours, based on your Time Zone.
