The two eclipses in the month of May, are intertwining two very different principles and perhaps calling upon us to find the middle path.
Taurus likes to have calm, and certainty by setting the sails with a 'fixed' course in mind, while Sagittarius likes change, following the intuitive, which can mean last minute changes in direction.
May 1 - A self-empowering influence reminds us of how good it feels to be strong and present in our physical bodies...hence creating time for exercise and/or being in nature.
(Sun in Taurus trines Pluto in Capricorn at 10:30 am)
May 5 - Watch out for possible self defeating thoughts in the earlier part of the day, but note that mid afternoon brings forth a 'can do' attitude, and lots of energy to bring our thoughts into action.
(Saturn-Mercury opposition at 4:15 am; Mars (Taurus) trines Pluto (Capricorn) at 2:30 pm)
May 6-7 - Lots of energy surrounding the planet of the mind, Mercury, the nature of which can add a touch of compulsiveness, but also strength of purpose. Mercury connecting with Taurus Sun, May 7 - 13, helps the thinking process in being steady, practical and cooperative with others.
(Mercury trine Pluto at 11:30 pm and conjunct Mars on May 7th at 5:30 pm).
May 9 - SOLAR ECLIPSE in Taurus.
This eclipse is connecting with Mars and Pluto, giving us an extra thurst of energy however, be careful not to over extend confidence with regard to physical risk situations n the AM. Creative thoughts abound in the PM.
(Moon trines Pluto at 1:30 am and conjuncts Mars at 6:45 am; Venus enters Gemini at 8:00 am and Moon conjuncts Mercury in Taurus at Noon).
May 10 - Fun, social and artsy aspect in early evening lends itself to pleasurable purusits in the company of others.
(Moon-Venus conjunction in Taurus)
May 12 - The day couldn't start off better, with a Jupiter-Moon conjunction in Gemini at 6:30 am....to celebrate all those fabulous Moms, just waiting to be invited out for brunch.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
May 13 - Dreamy, romantic influences are in the air today, so we really don't want to feel rushed with anything. We'd love to play in the imagination. Early evening influence brings our focus to the present.
(Cancer Moon trines Neptune at 1:30 pm an and Venus (gemini) squares Neptune at 1:50 pm; Moon trines Saturn at 5:15 pm).
May 14 - If you're personal will and determination place you on the war path this morning, try not to draw your sword and challenge others!
(Moon-Uranus conjunction in Aries at 5:00 am, followed at a Moon-Pluto square at 9:00 am and Mars-Pluto trine at 9:25 am)
May 16 - Getting in the right mood for what you would like to accomplish may take a little effort in the AM, but the flow is there in the early PM.
(Leo Moon squares Saturn at 5:30 am and trines Uranus at 1:40 pm).
May 18 - What to do with the day? Thoughts and plans jump around and rearrange themselves at the speed of light. However a creative aspect lingers in the background, sparking potential
(Mercury squares Pluto just after midnight. Virgo Moon opposes Neptune at 12:30 pm and squares Mercury at 3:00 pm. Venus (Gemini) sextiles Uranus (Aries), is exact at 9:45 am)
May 20-21 - With Uranus-Pluto square exact today, we may notice the 'forceful' energies associated with this combination, though we are more likely to feel the 'personal' edge upon waking tomorrow morning. However, softer, communicative influences come into play to help smooth the day.
(May 20: Uranus-Pluto square exact at 3:30 pm; May 21: Challenging T-square configuration with Moon in Libra squaring Pluto and opposing Uranus at 5:45 - 6:00 am; Moon trines Mercury at 7:30 am and trines Venus at 12:30 pm).
May 22-23: The energies begin to build for the Lunar Eclipse with some intensity, with the Moon in Scorpio.
May 24: LUNAR ECLIPSE in Sagittarius this evening. There's a tendency to feel 'put upon', this morning, which can trigger emotional resistance. As the energies come closer to the actual eclipse, they carry the earthy, pleasurable energies of Taurus and the philosophical, spiritually oriented energies of Sagittarius, making for an interesting flavor in the evening.
(Moon opposes Mars at 7:00 am; Mercury conjuncts Venus in Taurus at 5:00 pm and Moon in Sagittarius squares Neptune at 11:15 pm).
May 26 - We may feel a tad unfocused this morning, and disinterested in mundane matters, as the idealistic and philosophical energies of the eclipse linger on this Memorial weekend.
(Sagittarius Moon opposes Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini until 3:30 am; Sun squares Neptune at 3:30 am).
May 27-30 - - There's a great line up of planets in Gemini during these dates, ushering in access to higher ideals, fostering optimism and expansiveness. An excellent time to set intensions, for as we open up to all possibilities, we can attract most favorable experiences and results.
(Mercury conjuncts Jupiter on 27th; Venus conjuncts Jupiter on 28th; Aquarius Moon trines Jupiter, Venus and mercury on 30th).
