May's Celestial Guide

from Bob Mulligan


Mercury enters Gemini and Saturn turns Direct on the 2nd; this ushers in a time of new thoughts and a more outward direction for our attention.

The New Moon on May 5th at 8:19am is extremely powerful as it Squares the Eclipse of last February and the Moon is very close to perigee (its closest point to earth).  This New Moon encourages us to the point of forcing, to let go of everything from the past that we have outgrown.

Mars enters Leo on May 9th at the same time that Jupiter is turning Retrograde.  We have reached a point where we have to renegotiate contracts and act on a series of new opportunities.  We are letting go of everything that doesn’t serve our needs at the moment.  This is a moment to identify empty forms and rituals that have long since ceased to have any meaning or relevance.

The Full Moon is on May 19th at 10:12pm.  The Full Moon at 29 degrees of Taurus/Scorpio happens at 10:12pm EDT indicating that we are now completing a test for viability on the physical plane.  This last degree of Taurus and Scorpio indicate a drawing to a close of this time of striving.  It is a moment of surrendering our lower interest in order to create more time and energy for more noble pursuits.    

Sun crosses into Gemini on May 20th taking us into a new solar month of focusing on our ability to learn, gather new information, and make sense out of all the recent changes.

Jupiter Sextile Uranus May 21st signals a unique moment where we can find a path toward making our most cherished ideals practical.  We may tap into things we already know about but haven’t been putting into practice.

Mercury turns Retrograde May 26th.  Neptune turns Retrograde on the same day.  Mercury will stay in Retrograde until the 19th of June.  During this three week period we will re-evaluate our overall position within society.  Now is a time for determining some new goals for ourselves by seeing how much of what we have been doing is really passé.
 
From May 1st to the 4th much gets done by the sheer force of personality.  A subtle nervousness may mask some underlying fears.  Consider developing a different way of expressing yourself.

The week of May 5th through the 11th we breathe new life into our relationships by focusing on our partner’s positive qualities.  It is good to take stock and acknowledge those people who have been true supporters of us for a long time.

From May 12th to the 18th luck, abundance, and our higher ideals lead us toward rapid manifestation.  Much is completed this week.  Some things are eliminated forever.  A few nuggets from our lives go in the ‘pending file;” there are not as many things in this category as you might suspect.
 
May 19th – 25th is a week relaxing and taking care of the people in our lives.  Relationships, personal as well as public, family as well as business, will monopolize our attention.  Closure and progress can be effortless.

From May 26th through the 31st mistakes and misunderstandings surface now and we get a chance to redo and re-evaluate both people and projects.   Competitiveness and restlessness are infused into worldly activity now.  You do best to change approaches to your own life every day as circumstances keep changing.  Life is exciting and we should enjoy it.

Day by Day

1st – Thursday – Venus Trine Pluto, Mercury Contra-parallel Jupiter, Venus Trine Saturn – A new love relationship gets off to a rugged start.  Intense feelings need a place to go.  Relax and enjoy the day.  Harmony comes from being practical and going slow.

2nd – Friday – Mercury Enters Gemini, Saturn turns Direct –
Circumstances change; we find meaning in things that have heretofore only been a source of pain.  This is a time of discrimination.  Overcoming fear is the first step in being able to chart a new course of action.

3rd – Saturday – Mercury Quincunx Pluto, Mercury Parallel Mars – We are all “charged up” and may be having difficulty finding a place to release the abundant energy that comes flowing into us today….we all have something to be upset about, but now is the time to be proactive.  Exercise, talk to a friend, meditate, journal; get your mental energy applied to something positive.

4th – Sunday – This is a day to gather your thoughts, change gears, slow down, relax and enjoy life and each other.  Spend as much time as possible in quiet social time.

5th – Monday – New Moon at 8:19am EDT, Venus Parallel Saturn, Venus Semi-square, Sun Sesquiquadrate Pluto – This is a great time for self reflection and to assert our intentions for the new lunar month.  Take the extra step of committing your intentions to writing.  This will give you something to go back and reflect on each day of the month.

6th – Tuesday – We have been “shot out of a cannon” today.  Events unfold rapidly because our pent up need to make things happen force us to act.  Be bold; the day belongs to the brave.

7th – Wednesday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Jupiter, Sun Contra-parallel Pluto – We have great ideas but we need to be focused on practical results if we are to gain a feeling of relevance.  Look behind the obvious manifestations of the moment and you can see the root causes of your current situation.  Is there anything that you want to change?  Be sure before you start rearranging people and circumstances.
 
8th – Thursday – Venus Contra-parallel Neptune – Creativity and the arts are emphasized today. Love is in the air; make sure it is in your heart so you may act with pure intentions.  Now is the time to paint a picture of your perfected future.

9th – Friday – Jupiter turns Retrograde, Mars in Leo – Our energy gets refocused.  Today we want to be out in the world animating our ambitions and showing others what we can do.  We are at peace but be careful that you don’t over commit your time, money, and energy.

10th – Saturday – Quick gains come with joy but the reality of the moment isn’t obvious; serendipitous happenings give us an opportunity to change directions several times.  Today can be a wild ride.

11th – Sunday – Mars Quincunx Pluto, Mars Contra-parallel Jupiter, Sun Sextile Uranus – Other people may challenge us today.  We all tend to be in a testy mood.  We are trying to integrate our desires with rapidly changing conditions.

12th – Monday – Sun Trine Jupiter, Mars Semi-sextile Saturn – Believe in yourself and all things are possible. Focus on the most important issues and work efficiently toward concrete results.  Big ideas sometimes have small beginnings in the physical world before they take off.

13th – Tuesday – Venus Sesquiquadrate Pluto – Concentrate as much time and energy on key relationships as possible.  Now is the time to improve your material position in the world.

14th – Wednesday – Sun Square Neptune – We are trying to count things and they just don’t add up.  Focus; avoid distractions, but at the same time stay relaxed…Higher purposes than our own are at work.

15th – Thursday – Pleasing everyone may not be possible but it is possible to stay true to your own perceptions of what would be in everyone’s best interest.

16th – Friday – Venus Contra-parallel Pluto – Relationships have their complications but displaying your positive feelings can have a deep and long lasting effect now.  Be willing to share your inner thoughts and promote your highest ideals.

17th – Saturday – We all accomplish much today by sheer persistence.   It is best if you select a course of action, plan an agenda, then accept very few interruptions and just plow forward.

18th – Sunday – Venus Sextile Uranus, Venus Trine Jupiter – This is a very fortunate day.  We see all kinds of things happening very swiftly and need to be selective. 

19th – Monday – The Full Moon at 29 degrees of Taurus/Scorpio happens at 10:12pm EDT – You may feel that you are being pulled by some unconscious force today.  Put energy into the most essential things and release anything you can.  Make time to meditate; you will be amazed.

20th – Tuesday – Venus Square Neptune, Sun enter Gemini –
We find our energy going off in all directions.  Now is a time for exploration and refinement.  To make friends, move out of your comfort zone.

21st – Wednesday – Sun Quincunx Pluto, Sun Parallel Mars, Jupiter Sextile Uranus – Innovation and new technologies are on everyone’s mind.  We are feeling like taking some risks and it is a really wonderful time to try something completely different.

22nd – Thursday – Sun Square Saturn, Mars Sesquiquadrate Uranus – It is with great difficulty that we think, speak, and act in new ways today; but this is exactly what is needed.  Usual paths to productivity are blocked.  We get to our goals by abandoning logic and operating on our impulses.

23rd – Friday – It is as if everyone in our lives is operating with different goals and conflicting agendas.  Behind the rather blasé surface, great passion is brewing.   “Actions speak louder than words.”  Let others see what you are doing and they can make their own assessments.
 
24th – Saturday – Venus enters Gemini, Venus Parallels Mars –
Today is for lovers.  Explore your feelings; you will notice that a certain excitement and optimism color events.  Overcome any residual shyness and just tell people how you feel.  Communicate.

25th – Sunday – Venus Quincunx Pluto – Passions are powerful for good or ill.  Surround yourself with positive people and avoid confrontation.  Someone that you rely on may be missing.  You may have to continue without some key supporters.  Be willing to carry on with your initial plans anyway.

26th – Monday – Neptune turns Retrograde, Mercury turns Retrograde, Venus Square Saturn – Sometimes no means maybe, sometimes it means no.  Today it means no.  If something you have worked on falls through today, just remember you may be being rescued, and protected, from yourself.  There are some postponements today.  We will see some things we have counted on today manifesting during the second week of July.

27th – Tuesday – Sun Sesquiquadrate Jupiter – We take a gigantic leap forward; we may end up going further than we thought. Critical details fall into our path and we have to accommodate them quickly.  Don’t be nervous about asking for help.

28th – Wednesday – We are mentally stimulated.  It is an adventuresome day.  Several friends offer to take us out of our ordinary routine.  Some change is good and simple diversions can be very helpful.

29th – Thursday – Sun Contra-parallel Jupiter – Our mood changes today.  It is good to put your thoughts into action and to determine that you will be happy with the results of your current project. 

30th – Friday – Venus Sesquiquadrate Jupiter – Our feelings identify the persistent strengths and weaknesses of our associates.  Friends aren’t always there to help unless we are very specific in expressing our needs.  Keeping this in mind we can be very fortunate in material things now.

31st – Saturday – Sun Parallel Mercury – We have a strong vision of how things are and we can move forward with great gusto.  Everyone wants to communicate now and if we trust the process we tune into the very mechanism to spell success with big projects.
