I’ve posted the planetary forecast for May and you can read it here in its entirety. If you are on my mailing list you will receive your newsletter with an abridged translation that is easy to understand. If you’re NOT on free my mailing list, please sign up in the sidebar.

Here is the introduction for this month including the major planetary events:

After the intensity of the April Grand Cross, in which the aggressive force of Mars bumped up against Uranus and Pluto, and expansive and optimistic Jupiter opened doorways that perhaps we were not quite ready to be pushed through, the planetary energy in May is much calmer. The Grand Cross is still in effect because all planets involved are moving relatively slowly, but the intensity is waning.

Mars will be changing direction in the middle of the month, so in preparation for that turn it has slowed down to a crawl and will be virtually stationary throughout the month. When a planet is stationary its influence is most intense, especially if that planet is affecting a sensitive point in our own charts. The effect of Mars can vary between a feeling of energy and inspiration, to emotions of rage and frustration, to impulses of intense need and motivation.

The Sun and Mercury are both in Taurus, which craves serenity and stability, and that helps to calm everything down. In addition, abundant Jupiter with its encouraging positive influence, forms a trine to Chiron and aids in the healing process which ultimate liberates us from the bondage of our wounds and helps us to gain greater realization and wisdom. Later in the month, Jupiter will trine Saturn, forging stability and linking an optimistic viewpoint (Jupiter) with the ability to work hard and create solid structures (Saturn) – a combination that is the key to successfully navigating life’s joys and challenges.
