May
is relatively peaceful astrologically. The New Moon on the 5th
signals time to get finances in order, organize possessions, make major
purchases of what you need. Full moon on the 19th signals an
acceleration of healing and personal transformation. By May's end four planets
will be in retrograde motion including Mercury. This signals a general slowdown
in external change of any kind. When planets are in retrograde motion energy is
directed inward; any changes are apt to be internal. Furthermore, the first two
thirds of the month are dedicated to the sign of Taurus the Bull, an extremely
fixed sign. Saturn, however turns direct very late on May 2nd,
indicating that forward motion is now likely on delayed projects. Other
important days are the 1st, which is joyful with happy vibrations,
the 3rd which is a day to be cautious in motion, the 12th
which brings another good vibrations, happy times day, the 13th which
suggests confusion is in the air, the 18th again brings a lot of fun
and happy times (great day for a party or a wedding) the 22nd, a day
to work on blocked progress, and the 26th when Mercury and
Neptune turn retrograde and there can be much confusion. Do take great care if
you are traveling that day. Plan for delays, confusion, difficulties. |
