MAY-the clarity comes

Welcome to the material world! Happy Taurus Season to all of my fellow Taureans. This is my Solar Return month and I am super excited about enjoying life in nature as the days grow warmer, the trees become green again, and the flowers are in full bloom. Time to get busy living! The month of May we have an Elemental shift from Cardinal Fire to Fixed Earth: time to slow down. The magical month kicks off with Pluto beginning its annual retrograde in Aquarius (more on that later), Mercury moves into Taurus and leaves retrograde shadow, four planets are changing signs, five planets are reaching anaretic 29°, the karmic degree of completion, and personal planets Venus and Mars are transiting their home signs of Taurus and Aries, respectively. The Sun and Venus will be moving across the rare Uranus/Jupiter conjunction energies, illuminating a new higher desire. How can we embody the ability to receive? Are we able to live our best life consciously and viscerally, removed from guilt in a world that is crumbling around us? I challenge you to do so.

The first half of the month is a stellar time to focus on what you want to manifest. The two benefic planets, Jupiter and Venus, are working closely together. Venus is now at home in her ruling sign of Taurus, nurturing her upgraded values and vision. In fact, Lady Luck will create a triple conjunction when she meets up with Uranus and Jupiter at the end of her sign. Venus and Jupiter, the lesser and greater benefics, will continue to transit together in the sign of Gemini as we move into the month of June. How can you harness this unbridled potential to attract an abundance that is of value to You? What has been sparked that you wish to materialize?

In the second half of the month, the stellium of planets in the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus begins to break up as our Galaxy Star ingresses into the Mutable Air sign of Gemini. The Sun initiates Gemini Season on the 20th, and by month's end, Venus and Jupiter will be moving into Gemini, with Jupiter's transit lasting an entire year! The two most beneficial planets in our Solar system will be exploring a new skill set in connection and how we communicate. Oh, the possibilities! So, as we move into May, it is important to slow down, ground into our body, and activate our senses. It is a month to recognize where our values have shifted and recognize what we would consider truly fulfilling at this point. There is a higher truth of the heart beckoning to be nurtured. By getting clear on what we desire now, we will be more authentic in creating community moving forward (Gemini Season).

Mercury moves into Taurus mid-month and is officially out of post-retrograde shadow. What has been revealed as the messenger moved over the North Node and Chiron three times in the sign of self? What was the Sun illuminating in its conjunction with Chiron during the Aries Total Solar Eclipse? What has the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction disrupted and can you see the future benefit and potential blessing? We may not know these answers in totality until we enter the second Eclipse Season. Remember, Aries and Taurus are the first two signs of the zodiac. The new abundant life that we desire is just getting started. What do we intend to nurture, to grow? Also, consider what part of the cultivation requires pruning.

The New Moon on the 7th in the sign of the Bull is in a strong, supportive sextile to Saturn in Pisces. Set those intentions to manifest for you for, the long term, by embodying a beautiful ability of self-sustainability. (but do the work required!) Attract what you desire! Open the heart and allow yourself to receive. Create a life that is not merely surviving, but thriving!

Manifestation 🔑: There are a lot of critical degree aspects this month, especially 2° and 29°. The 23rd of May is of particular interest as Venus reaches 29° of Taurus in a sextile to Neptune at 29° of Pisces. When any planet or point reaches the anaretic 29th degree of Taurus and Pisces specifically, it represents a permanent ending. Venus is seeing clearly, beyond the illusion. What is now complete, finished, done? What houses do these signs and degrees occupy in your chart?
