Pluto (soul mission) echoes the theme all month sitting in 61.3 ... "If you rely on another for your peace of mind, your balance is lost. Be neither flattered nor dismayed at fluctuations in another's affections. By maintaining inner independence you successfully negotiate the path." BBW.
We also have Uranus well established in 27, the gate of nourishment (in all its forms), another call to look carefully at how we nurture ourselves. And, Neptune is in 22.2 for the whole of May ... "Concern yourself not with the form things take but with their content. Cut through false appearances to determine whether your own strength or that of another is genuine or contrived." BBW.
Saturn is nearly conjunct the South Node for the month. This is a new South Node position; the nodes shifted on 25th April. We are now moving away from (south node) the energy of 54, the upgrade (Marrying Maiden) and toward (north node) gradual progress (53). But, Saturn will be there as a reminder of where we have come from, and perhaps who we have been with, and this may prove a stumbling block to our gradual progress, if we have forged alliances with those that do not have our best interests at heart. And, equally if we have used others to further our aims with little thought to the price they may have to pay.
The north node in 53 should herald a period when we can start to move forward, notwithstanding the multiple planets in retrograde of course! 53 counsels us to pay attention to our foundations, just as the tree needs a good network of roots before it grows too tall, so we too need to avoid pushing ahead too quickly only to be blown over by the first windy day. We will have help for the first few days with Pluto and the Sun working to provide the channel of the Thinker (24-61), so no excuses ... this month is marked with individual channel energy so plenty of support for Chiron's mission.
We start the month with another Sabbat, this time Beltane, or May Day. A time of fertility and of Spring energy moving us into early Summer. Traditionally it was the time of the animals being moved to summer pastures and is marked by fire ceremonies to ward off evil spirits as the flocks head back up into the mountains. It's also a time of the renewal of vows and the reaffirmation of love 😍. With Mars and Venus either end of the control of resources channel be mindful of compromise!
The Moon will be new on the 4th at 23:48 BST in 2.2 "Being Gifted: Natural access to an intelligence that often defies logical explanation. You access an inner sense of knowing beyond the scope of any accumulated knowledge." Chetan
And full on the 18th 14.4 at 22:13 BST and echoes much of what I've noted above ... "Do not indulge in looking at those around you and trying to match them tit for tat. You elevate yourself by disengaging and holding firmly to what is quiet and correct and good." BBW
This month we have two channels created by the Sun and Earth positions so for a week a piece we all have access to 23-43 (channel of Structuring ... or the 'freak to genius' ...) and 20-34 (channel of Charisma). Both energies of the individual and if you can catch the flow a great way to bring forward your genius and get things moving.
And so to the weeklies ...
1st - 3rd - Sun busy rationalising and the Earth being wary of who is around. Mercury might spring a communication surprise/shock on the 1st before moving to improve everything! Venus and Mars could be working nicely distributing the resources or playing tug of war, you have been warned.
4th - 9th - The Sun and Earth are now working the first two gates of the I Ching, the Earth feeling Heavenly in 1 and the Sun receptive in 2, this could be a week to make progress with something new as Mercury will arrive in gate 3, beginnings, and we have the New Moon here too, see above - don't push, let something emerge.
10th - 15th - here we have the first of the two channels of the month, the Sun in 23 and the Earth in 43. 23 is splitting apart, so be aware some things may disintegrate but the Earth will be ready to ground you with insights, so all is never lost ... it's not called the freak to genius for nothing, especially as Mercury will be bringing a rationalising energy 😏
16th - 20th - now for a week of Union and Potential with the Full Moon as well. Jupiter shifts to 26 on the 15th and brings his expansive energy to the gate of the Trickster ... be aware for the con artist, but also the excellent sales person who can meet your needs, two sides of the same energy coin ... and Mercury is now bringing the splitting apart energy so communication could be on the blink for a few days. This week Mars is moving through the gate of Modesty, sometimes called Extremes, so watch where his fiery energy may appear.
On 18th the full moon day Mars will be in 15.4 "Do not make a show of modesty. Sincerity entails doing what is needed, without regard for public opinion, then quietly stepping back." BBW
21st - 26th - Our second week of individual channel energy, Charisma with the Sun in 20, the gate of the NOW and the Earth in 34, gate of Power. This is the archetype of the manifesting generator harnessing the life force energy in the moment, buckle up tight! Mercury is conjunct the sun for a few days which could lead to some very frank discussions! Tap into Venus if you need to step back and rationalise somewhat.
23rd - Mercury and Sun in 20.3 "Being Objective: Developing an ability to watch thoughts and actions impassively. Honouring your 'witnessing consciousness' you'll find assists you to glide through your life." Chetan
27th - 31st - for the last few days we have the Sun feeling enthusiastic and the Earth very focused ... so focused enthusiasm, sounds good to me! Especially with Mercury feeling the adventure just watch he doesn't take over later in the week when he heads to the gate of the Queen where he'll find Mars too!
"Proper enthusiasm opens every door" BBW 16th hexagram
And so to the Runes ... the half months are as follows ... April 29 - May 14 Laguz, this is a water rune associated with emotional flow, intuitive knowing. And May 14 - 29 we have Inguz ... the seed, the magic bean, all possibilities and potential and linked to the God Freyr.
See you again later in May
