May 2006
The grinding and intense energy of the Pluto conjunct the Galactic Center with Hades in continued opposition continues until the 25th, when Pluto finally backs off by a degree from the bulls eye of our galaxy. This may not seem like much but it can be a huge relief to many (especially Sagittarians and Gemini's who are born at 26 degrees of either sign). The continued template turn is ongoing. This month, however, we get to see some of the remarkable changes, glimpses, of what is going to be coming into the future. The last time we had Pluto conjunct the GC, we had the Industrial Revolution begin, just to give you an idea of the global enormity of these cosmic players in action.
This is a 'roll up your shirtsleeves and get to work!' month. There's a lot of physical manifestation going on because of this new energy that has been sprinkled over the Earth. Venus, always a harbinger of good news, flows into Aries, the Cosmic leader of the pack, on May 3rd. Then, we have an incredible gift from the Universe on May 6th, so mark this day and revel in it. We are going to have a grand water trine consisting of Mars, Jupiter and Uranus. This is the day to play the Lotto if there ever was one. However, those most affected by this gift horse are people in the following signs: Cancer/Capricorn, Taurus/Scorpio and Virgo/Pisces. Pay attention to your intuition and see what comes up.
On a less happy scale, a grand trine can mean ease of something very shocking (Uranus) occurs quickly (Mars) and is huge (Jupiter) with ease or no opposition. Trines mean ease. There's no blocking or stopping the energy of a trine. And although many astrologers think trines are always good, they are not. There may be serious flooding taking place on this date, or on May 7th; torrential rains, swollen rivers, possible breaking of the levee system in the center of the USA, can all occur. If you don't have flood insurance--this is a very good month to buy some. Don't wait, because it could be catastrophic flooding of the worst sort. And with Uranus here, it means sudden, shocking and surprising. Water is going to dump, out of the blue, on different parts of the world. A tsunami is certainly possible with this aspect set up as well, so if you live near the ocean, please be aware of earthquake activity a day or two before and stay alert.
This can also mean that there are high emotional dramas going on during this period as well. People are going to be hot-buttoned and more emotionally available than usual. With a trine, it can mean people don't put the brakes on their over emotional knee-jerk reaction with some cool, calm logic. Instead, they'll just fire away with their emotional artillery instead and possibly do something they'll be sorry for or just plain stupid (because no one took the time to sit back, let the initial emotions pass, think about it, then act more rationally and calmly). Such is the nature of a grand trine. It can also mean that creativity is at a peak; so if you're a writer, speaker, teacher, music writer, dancer or painter, this is a valuable time to find breakthroughs.
Mercury flies into Gemini on May 20th and there's plenty of communications for everyone. Messages are speeding back and forth. If you have been feeling a bit confused for the last couple of weeks it is because Neptune is going retrograde on the 22nd. This is a good time to meditate. Neptune is our spirituality. On May 28-29, right on Memorial Day (May 29th), there is a very nasty collision between Mars in aspect with Pluto and the Galactic Center.This could again, signal deal of a high government official somewhere in the world may be assassinated. Or, it can mean bullies try to push around others. Or, it is a head-on collision between authority/government and men (Mars rules males). Terrorism could be in the air in some country, but I cannot say which one may be attacked; only that it is a possibility. On an every day basis, please watch how you drive--there are going to be some terrible accidents on this holiday. Don't be one of them. On May 30th, Venus goes into Taurus and people are going to get down to business in a pragmatic and common sensed way.
OTHER DATES:
May 2 - a real go-getter of a day, energy-wise. Plan, hold your vision and it can come true.
May 14 - Mother's Day A mixed back of energy today; for some hearts will break, but for others, joy.
May 29 - Memorial Day Stay alert and you could have a wonderful day. If you don't, accidents may abound.
May 31 - Accidents are again in the picture so be careful and stay mindful of what you are doing at the time you are doing it.
