Celestial Profile - May 2008

The month of May begins as Mercury moves into information-oriented Gemini on May 2nd, along with Saturn turning direct at 2 degrees Virgo. From the opening of information comes the ability to set our sights on placing important stepping stones into place. May becomes the month to implement the changes from April combined with the new stream of information that is turned on with Mercury moving into Gemini. We will begin to experience an important shift this month as May opens the door for many activities surrounding our home and work environments. May presents us with situations that need resolutions to be determined and put into place.

The New Moon on May 5th brings in the steady Taurus energy that blankets the situations that are present with a keen ability to assess the situations. We determine the needed resolutions for the situations that have been brought to our attention. Projects, tasks and other issues require that we jump in to address the needs of many and various situations that are now bubbling to the surface. The New Moon opens the doors for this Taurus energy to analyze the situations and issues and then organize the resolutions needed. This gives us a major jump start to the month.

Jupiter turns retrograde on May 9th which provides an easing of the intensity and pressures of late. Jupiter has been expanding our efforts in our business and career environment. Jupiter takes us and stretches us beyond our comfort zone. We feel like we are on the rack and someone is turning the crank and we are expanding to the point where we feel that we can’t expand any more. Similar to a ball of pizza dough as we feel like we are thrown up into the air while the stretching causes holes in our pizza dough. By the time Jupiter turns retrograde, we have landed and now can begin to mend the tears that have appeared in our life as we have been stretched beyond our capacity. It is always a relief when Jupiter turns retrograde because we have a chance to regain a solid feel as we are no longer tossed into the air and into the unknown. Jupiter can now provide us with the opportunity to go over all of the events that have occurred since February 13, 2008. Many of the problematic issues we experienced as we were being stretched, have now become the very issues that we will go back to correct during Jupiter’s retrograde. Between May 9th and September 8th, when Jupiter turns direct, we will have healed many problems and issues.

The Full Moon on May 19th gives us an in-depth perspective. Seeing below the surface of many issues combined with an additional amount of information streaming in at this time, we are able to gain a very comprehensive perspective, yet it is different than one that we have had up to this point. This new perspective prompts us to set new goals and plans into place. From this new vantage point we prepare to launch our efforts into new and different directions as the information also provides us with the needed information to support our decisions.

On May 26th, Mercury and Neptune turn retrograde. Mercury slows down and begins to turn retrograde in the information sign of Gemini. This prompts us to take the information that has come into the picture and utilize it in the new goals and plans we are putting into place. Neptune turns retrograde in Aquarius which shifts our focus to connect with others who are more on our wave-length. Mercury’s impact will be to shift our perspective and to adjust to the new information that has created this different view. From this point of Mercury retrograde, we will move into the month of June and we will come face to face with many situations that will require accountability with the information and the resolution. This course correction will spin many situations into different directions than they have been going and so we will have many events and situations look as though they are spinning out of control, but it is to provide the important mid-year transition.

May is universally a SIX month which emphasizes adjustments in our home, work and relationship areas. Also with health and well-being, we will shift our focus into a whole different direction to solve any problems that have come forth. The SIX typically brings the need to resolve important issues and so our home, work, health and relationships become the focus of our efforts.

May finds us looking at our closets, drawers and storage areas that require organization and jump into solving the clutter and messes that have been building over time. Also, we will find we have to go to the store for light bulbs, handles or miscellaneous things that we haven’t needed or paid attention to for a long time. Appliances seem to have a new squeak or a new click that appears this month. Relationships can have the same problems, squeaks, clicks and different requirements appear as well. As we address these issues, we have the opportunity to bring forward resolutions and key elements of solutions that have been unavailable. This becomes an important month as harmonizing situations becomes our top priority. 

THE DAYS OF NEW BEGINNINGS will be May 4th, May 13th, May 22nd and May 31st, providing the opportunities to move our efforts into the new beginnings as the new energies continue to be revealed. Important issues with key information streaming into view on these days, will shift us into using our creative and expressive energy. This new energy gives us a giant push to move forward with boldness and readiness, jumping into situations ready to make important determinations. Especially as new information hits with the New Moon on the 5th, we will be spurred into new beginnings. 

THE DAYS OF MAJOR CHANGES are May 8th, May 17th, and May 26th. Changes blow into May and bring an incredible amount of new information on these days. As soon as the dawn occurs, the flooding of information begins. The amount of information streaming in this month will at times become overwhelming.  Each of these days also provides a requirement to jump into action, taking bold steps to address the information that has come into our sphere. We find these days very powerful and full of information flying every which way. Ultimately on the 26th, Mercury slows down to turn retrograde to utilize the information to make major adjustments and bring forward resolutions.  

THE DAYS OF CHALLENGES, occur on May 1st, May 10th, May 19th and May 28th. These dates bring in the greatest high tide of information along with many surprising events. These can also be days of great excitement as the Unknown becomes known and exposed. It is time to venture into the Unknown; we look to the new pathway of our future being created before our very eyes and it reveals a whole new life. Yet it is our ability to see the challenges as opportunities to bring forward our personal attitude and personal effort to shift the purpose from one of challenge to one of opportunity. This is especially true on the 19th as the Full Moon brings a greater view of previously hidden and unavailable information.

THE DAYS OF REWARDS: The next day brings the saying “What a difference a day makes!” Our reality provides the rewards and successes for walking through the uncertainties of yesterday. These days are May 2nd, May 11th, May 20th and May 29th. Doors of opportunity begin to open and we are able to take action on our strong feelings that prompt us into action. The new energy we respond to, especially noticeable after Mercury turns retrograde, prompts us to utilize the opportunities to address the information that is prominent and suggests positive resolutions be put into place.
