Celestial Trends for May

May Overview

The month of May provides the SIX energy (in numerology) with gifts of health, healing, balance and well-being. SIX also gives us tasks and projects that will assist in the adjustment process to bring about harmony. Saturn turns direct is another energy source that emphasizes the tasks required to build a strong foundation of efficiency. Our work and home environment will dictate the efforts needed to build the strong foundation.

Jupiter turns retrograde which helps us to feel that the relentless stretching us beyond our comfort zone can now begin to back off. Feeling like the virtual over-stretched Gumby we survey the situations and determine where we should start to set things right. Mars luckily moves into Leo at the same time that Jupiter turns retrograde to keep us from being a heap of stretched-out Gumby clumped onto the floor. Mars energizes us in bold and creative ways, to pull ourselves together and to take a look at the situations that have occurred. With this perspective, we can begin to organize and adjust our life, utilizing the SIX energy to heal and fix many issues.

Neptune also turns retrograde with Mercury and prompts us to renew our inner blueprint and the alignment in the outside world. Neptune prompts us to bring resolutions into our life to become the stepping stones in our spiritual journey. Many of the situations we find as prompts on the stage are given to us
Toward the end of May, Mercury turns retrograde in information-oriented Gemini, and retrogrades over issues since May 12th. This course correction that begins on May 26th, provides an upsurge in information that has been brought forward that requires we review. Our review emphasizes the outer transitions and the information that is streaming into situations giving us another perspective and more puzzle pieces to work with to have a complete picture.

April 27th through May 3rd

This week, April 27th through May 3rd , we find that a new undercurrent of reality begins to flow through our life to cover all areas of our field. Monday Mercury connects with Venus at 15Ã'° Pisces, which opens the inner doors of our intuitive connections to provide us the important new directions that are aligned within our inner blueprint. Mercury communicates to harmony-oriented Venus the positive directions that are now the right ones for us. Saturn in opposition (by sign) will revise our plans, our direction and our tasks. This alignment becomes important as setting the pace for the last week in March gives us the finishing tasks to perform before we can move our life into new directions. On Thursday Mercury connects with the changing winds of Uranus, which open up our new directions once our tasks are done. The wind begins to blow and we know that our time has come to meet our deadline to complete tasks to be free to set sail. As our deadlines are met to complete our tasks, we are free to move toward setting sail. Working diligently all through the day and night we reach our completion and Friday's aspect of Venus connecting the Uranus winds, we set sail Friday as the sun is setting on our past and yet lights our horizon with clarity, optimism and freedom..

May 4th through May 10th

This week, May 4th through May 10th , we move into the earthy energy of Taurus, which brings in more positive emphasis in making plans , organizing our life and getting many issues back on track. The New Moon on Monday at 15Ã'° Taurus gives us a solid feeling as many of the changes and new beginnings seem to steady our emotions and allow us mentally to be more stable. This new energy also opens the door for new information to come in on Tuesday and Wednesday that help to move our life along in the ways that will get many issues back on track. Thursday has us review our emotional status and prepare for Jupiter to slow down and stop stretching us to such an emotional extent. Jupiterââ'¬â"¢s expansion has stretched us beyond our comfort zone and on Friday Jupiter slows down and turns retrograde. This gives us reason to heave a sigh of relief. We are no longer being stretched beyond belief in the new was with Capricorn influenced career and business pursuits. This gives us the chance to review our status in these areas and begin to make important determinations that allow us to get ideas into an organized plan. To have the time to make these important decisions is key to success of these new areas. Finally we have the time to stop and think. Mars also moves into fiery Leo on Friday, which gives us an added energy boost to bring the areas of our life from chaos to organization. This is a very welcomed energy shift and we will see positive results from this transition.

May 11th through May 17th

This week, May 11th through May 17th, Sun brings in a positive aspect to the winds of change, and through many serendipitous events, we will have some very positive events that begin to roll into this week. Mid-day on Monday, we can shift circumstances around to line up to move our life into the directions that we have desired. This sets the pace for this week and opens the door for results to be realized. As we move into Thursday, we move our ideas and events into situations that allow us to work with others. Our focus shifts to partnerships, cooperatives and connecting with others of like mind. We have a lot of discussions about these important new directions that are now being formulated. Moving into the weekend, we look at situations from a much deeper level and we find that our emotions begin to rise. These emotions are directing us to look at important situations that will be part of the Full Moon early next week. As these feelings increase, our inner perceptions about situations, events and important issues bring in a lot of new realizations from our depths. The rising of these emotions begin on Saturday, the 17th and will crest late on Monday the 19th.

May 18th through May 24th

This week, May 18th through May 24th, finds our shore having more and more emotions rising and bringing in very important elements that have a place in our life and will be key during the upcoming Mercury retrograde. The Full Moon pulls a great amount of inner realizations to the surface and we begin to see situations from a much greater perspective. This perspective continues to rise with the tide and the Full Moon. Tuesday we set new plans and goals into place. As Sun moves into information-oriented Gemini, we begin to use our new information-focus to set our plans into motion. Wednesday, Jupiter and Uranus bring sparks of new opportunities into the week, as if our new plans have received a jump-start into our desired direction. Thursday we look at contracts, pacts, treaties and agreements and begin to build important fences, gates and bridges. Important boundaries come into the picture, but also opportunities for gates and bridges provide a balance of openness and protection.

May 25th through May 31st

This week, May 25th through May 31st, we begin with more social events on Sunday that point us toward humanity and others that share our philosophy and perspective. Monday both Mercury and Neptune turn retrograde. The combination of these two turning retrograde becomes a very powerful energy. Mercury has reached 21Ã'° Gemini, with emphasis on information that has bubbled to the surface from thoughts, realizations and knowledge. Mercury has reached a point of being 16Ã'° degrees in front of the Sun. Mercury stays within this range of the Sun at all times and yet because Mercury has a faster orbit than the Sun, Mercury has to retrograde back , go behind the Sun and then move forward again to catch up again. During these time frames of retrograde, when Mercury is in front of the Sun, we can see things clearer. However once Mercury goes behind the Sun, we have the chance to work more through intuition and have to utilize our in-depth perspectives in the process. We feel comfortable when Mercury is in front of the Sun and we can see our way clearly. However as Mercury retrogrades, we find ourselves re-thinking situations. As Mercury turns retrograde on Monday, the intuitive planet of Neptune also turns retrograde. Neptune prompts us to get in touch with our intuitive connection. With Neptune in humanitarian Aquarius, our intuition begins to connect with those that are of like mind and we shift our focus to broaden our perspective. Mid-day on Thursday, we get a glimpse of some new directions that we want to pursue and we begin to set the stage to put these elements into place. This becomes a side journey that will occur most of June and through the Mercury retrograde. We are uncovering important information and bringing a lot more to the surface.

June 2008 Overview

June is universally a SEVEN month (in numerology) and brings in a deeper perspective and greater realizations to the current situations. This new energy comes into the picture as the New Moon on June 3rd at 13Ã'° Gemini, is the very degree that Mercury retrogrades back to and hovers on June 19th at 13Ã'° Gemini before moving forward on June 20th. The New Moon on June 3rd becomes the spotlight that points us into the right direction because of this connection at 13Ã'° Gemini. Mercury will stay at 13Ã'° degrees from June 14th through June 24th, which designates a very important time and process that uncovers key information and prompts powerful communications.

Mercury retrogrades back behind the Sun on June 7th, which then shifts our focus to look at situations from a more in depth perspective and to do more research and gather more information. On June 13th, Pluto touches back into Sagittarius and becomes the focus of the information that is bubbling to the surface at this time from Mercury retrograde.

The Full Moon on June 18th at 27Ã'° Gemini / 27Ã'° Sagittarius will exemplify the information and the situations that need to be reviewed from this deeper perspective and the SEVEN energy of the month opens the cellar doors to look at situations from below the surface. This sets the pace for situations to come into a different perspective. Mercury slows down on June 19th and hovers at 13Ã'° degrees before moving forward on June 20th. This opens the door for many situations to be reviewed and information to become key in this process. Sun opposition Pluto on June 20th spotlights the issues that have gained greater understanding due to the new information that has been brought to the surface.

With the Solstice occurring, a new pace is set on the 21st as Mars and Neptune turn our direction toward situations that have needed a deeper perspective. On June 26th, the Uranus winds of change begin to blow in some very strong elements because of the squared effect of Uranus and Pluto, now that Pluto has shifted back into Sagittarius. The issues that occurred in the 2002/2003 time frame will come back around to be reviewed again and a different perspective seen because of the new information. This sets many situations back onto a track that now has the opportunity to be brought to completion.

The SEVEN energy of June will have given us a new perspective that provides the stepping stones of resolution. This new perspective combined with new information opens many doors that seemed to only be closed. At times we have to back track to get situations back on track. The month of June will sport these very themes.
