Astrologically Speaking . . . with Ananur
We begin the merry month of May knowing that Mercury and Mars are both direct. In fact Mercury won’t be turning retrograde until the middle of July. It’s forward momentum time. There will be an annual solar eclipse on May 20, which is the first one in 18 years that will be visible in the U.S.A. Get your eye protectors ready.
May 1 Mercury is awkwardly aspecting Neptune, which is not the time to make an important decision or sign a legal document. This aspect is with us today, only. For those of you who are focused on selling a house, it’s more than likely to happen this month. Right now we’re between the New Moon and the Full Moon, which is always the best time to launch a new project.
May 1-3 Mercury is nicely aspecting Venus which is great for writing, singing, and teaching. Your thoughts are clear and in need of expression. Mercury is also aspecting Jupiter and Mars. You’re quick to speak out, just make sure that your words are kind.
May 3-5 Mercury is in Aries and is opposite Saturn, in Libra. Don’t worry. Be clear about your intensions and be persistent no matter what.
May 4-8 Jupiter is awkwardly aspecting Uranus. Quirky events take place that seem exciting, but won’t amount to much. If you’re working on an invention, stay with it, your work is not done, yet.
May 5 the Full Moon takes place at 9:36pm with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. Are you inflexible about your beliefs and opinions? Are you still blaming someone for something they did to you years ago? Are there addictions and obsessions that you want to let go of? Now is the time to relax and find peace of mind.
May 6-8 Mars in Virgo is in a challenging aspect to Uranus in Aries. Anytime that these two planets are in an agitated aspect to each other, there’s trouble. It’s known as “an accident prone time.”
May 8 Mercury enters into Taurus at 11:15pm. You can slow down and think carefully and methodically without pressure to respond before you’re able. Don’t let anyone coerce you into deciding anything before you’re really ready. You might want to do some research first before you decide anything.
May 8-10 Mercury is favorably aspecting Neptune, very inspiring for writers, musicians and artists. The rest of us feel the ego easing out of the way, and are feeling spiritually uplifted.
May 10-23 Jupiter is in a harsh aspect with Pluto. This has to do with certain problematic laws that we need to deal with. We, the people are going to have to speak up. We can call our representatives, the White House phone line, and we can sign petitions on the internet.
May 11 the Sun in Taurus is in an awkward aspect with Uranus in Aries, suggesting out right rebellion and tension. The police work for the higher-ups who are making the rules. Don’t be taking your aggression out on the police. They have bills to pay just like you and me. This aspect is about riots. I say, let’s find a better way.
May 11-13 the Sun is conjunct Jupiter in Taurus. This is a time of many blessings for anyone who was born between May 11-15, September 13-17, January 10-15, of any year. Clarity and insights come to you, and your financial situation is improving, right this minute. For the general public, the energy of having the Sun and Jupiter together (once a year) seems to be uplifting and invigorating.
May 12 Mercury is nicely aspecting Uranus which is known to increase intuition and creativity.
May 12-14 Mercury, Pluto and Mars are involved in an astrological configuration called, “A grand trine in earth signs.” Each planet is in an earth sign and each one is 120° apart from the other. Consciousness can expand. Perhaps all credit card debts will be forgiven? Then we can start to spend again. Then perhaps we can forgive the credit card company owners for the underhandedness that we have put up with, and CEOs who earn hundreds of millions every year.
May 12-17 Jupiter is in a worrisome aspect with Saturn. The financial situation is not good. Maybe they forgot to do as I suggested, and they didn’t forgive our credit card debts? Huh? It was a good idea. Meanwhile I think the stock market will be struggling now.
May 13 the Sun will uncomfortably aspect Saturn, bringing about the need to organize to combine efforts to help support each other.
May 13-14 the Sun will harshly aspect Pluto representing more worry and concern for each other. The higher-ups with all the money are not acting with compassion.
May 14-16 Mars is in a positive aspect with Pluto which is all about finding ways to overcome hardship. This aspect offers determination and resourcefulness.
May 15 Venus goes retrograde in Gemini until June 27. We’re looking forward to the big event on June 5 when Venus will be in front of the Sun, a rare event that has taken place in 1639, 1761, 1769, 1874, 1882 and 2004. It won’t take place again until the year 2114. There is much speculation about how Venus’ passage in front of the Sun will effect everyday goings-on here on planet Earth. My gut feeling is that Venus is about love and so whatever takes place, the underlying message is for us to grow beyond our personal self to include and love all our brothers and sisters.
May 15 Mars will be awkwardly aspecting Saturn which means there are obstacles in the way of acting out spontaneously.
May 16 Venus will nicely aspect Jupiter, a good aspect for financial freedom and deep relaxation.
May 20 the Sun enters Gemini at 9:16am and remains here until June 20. While the Sun is in Gemini we need to be more open minded and pay attention to what we need to learn. No assumptions.
May 20 Mercury will be awkwardly aspecting Uranus, reminding you not to jump to conclusions. Observe, don’t be too quick to speak out; you may regret it later on.
May 20 the New Moon solar eclipse takes place at 5:48pm with the Sun and Moon at 0° of Gemini in a harsh angle with Neptune in Pisces. The energy of today gives us an idea of what the next 30 days will be like. Confusion and misunderstandings will be taking place unless we all are mindful and concerned about listening to each other with an open mind. There are possibilities of intentional deceptions taking place which will divide us.
May 20-21 Mercury will be uncomfortably aspecting both Saturn and Pluto which seems to me that negative thought forms are intentionally ignited. How that works I’m not sure, it may have to do with HAARP. Don’t dwell on that which makes you feel sad or worried. Try to stay true to your spiritual beliefs.
May 20-22 good news: Mercury is now conjunct Jupiter in Taurus, glorifying humor and playfulness. Listen to uplifting music. It’s more powerful than you think.
May 21-23 the Sun is in a nasty aspect to Neptune, suggesting more confusion and misunderstandings taking place.
May 24 Mercury will enter Gemini and stay here until June 7. It keeps us curious and wanting to expand how we look at life.
May 25-27 the Sun is conjunct Mercury in Gemini and both are favorably aspecting Uranus in Aries, which is excellent for writing, performing and public speaking.
May 27 Mercury is harshly aspecting Saturn and Pluto, in a situation similar to May 20-21. Don’t give in to negative thinking.
May 26-28 the Sun is now in a very positive aspect with Uranus which is good for creative expression and trusting intuition.
May 28-29 the Sun is harshly aspecting both Saturn and Pluto which is known for issues with authorities.
May 28-30 Mars in Virgo will be in an awkward aspect to Mercury in Gemini. Thinking before speaking is recommended now.
May 30-June 1 Mercury and Venus are conjunct at 18° of Gemini. Anyone who was born between June 8-10, of any year, is feeling nudged to express their creativity. It’s also a good time to learn more about our solar system and allow yourself to shift your perspective to the recognition that we are on a planet, seeming to be solid and stable, which is floating in space in its orbit around the Sun.
June 4 a partial Full Moon eclipse takes place at 5:12am.
