Boundaries break as the feeling of confinement continues to fade. May speeds by as Venus whips through Aries May 2-27. The pursuit of pleasure feels fresh, vital, and for the first time in a long time, fun. Nobody wants their long-delayed enjoyment spoiled by global issues, and yet, shocking revelations around the presumed stability of Mother Earth herself can no longer be ignored when Sun meets Uranus in Taurus May 5.
Big, bountiful, and beneficent Jupiter enters Aries May 10. In an individual’s natal chart, this supersizes courage, boldness, and leadership qualities. In terms of society and nations, Jupiter in Aries is all about aggressive expansion of beliefs, and acting against perceived societal and ideological wrongs. The last time Jupiter was in Aries we saw Occupy Wall Street, the Arab Spring, the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, the passing of the Affordable Care Act, and the rise of the Tea Party before the midterm elections.
Mercury stations retrograde May 10, re-enters Taurus May 22 before stationing direct in early June and returning to his original retrograde point in Gemini by the Summer Solstice. It’s never been more important to have solid, verifiable facts. Many will make life-altering decisions May 15/16 at the Full Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio, with Sun sextile Neptune and square Saturn, and the Venus/Chiron conjunction. Don’t make fear-based, radically uninformed changes. Ignorance is never bliss.
Once your desire for change is vetted through the lens of objective reality, the conjunction of Mars and Neptune and the Sun’s trine to Pluto May 18-19 give you the energy you need to take off like a rocket. Mars entering Aries May 24 and meeting Jupiter May 29 lifts you out of gravity’s reach. Behold your life from this exalted view, and you’ll know what to do.
