Don’t pay attention to the little troubles that the mind constantly tries to control. Often, the problems we dwell on never come to pass. Laugh it off, move on, refresh yourself. The month of May is our cue to resolve differences, get our head right and fixate on the finances, baby! Show me the money - that’s our motto for the next 31 days!
On the 1st, we have a Solar Eclipse in Taurus. We will all melt into the sensual, the tender, the soft. Taurus is seduced by art, music, theatre, even and especially a handsome face. Uranus in Taurus is conjunct the Moon and Sun here, so we can expect a little unusualness. With Venus and Jupiter close to this transit, in Pisces, we will feel inspired by our love lives. The thinking is very optimistic and friends/colleagues cooperate much easier with one another. We can feel particularly philosophical, as if we’re on the precipice of something spiritual. Taurus is open to learning, to finding solutions - it seeks to connect and encourage. Open your heart to the world, when you do, individuals who watch from afar, can give you great perspective on those little hiccups you seem to come up against.
Our second Mercury retrograde of the year begins in Gemini on the 10th of May until the 4th of June. Communication is complex, and people can be very hard to read. Gemini is mind expanding, it thrives on conversation. From this we can be quick and clever, this transit is particularly fond of witty banter. However, May isn’t totally sweet and simple. We are all up for some big changes, especially on the 11th when Jupiter leaves Pisces, and enters Aries! The key words here are: action, prosperity and empowerment. Jupiter in Aries is strong and forceful, it pushes us to be more self-sufficient, more confident. On the 16th, a Full blood Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs in Scorpio opposing the Sun and Uranus. Eclipse season is powerful, in 2022 it is activating the Taurus/Scorpio axis that deals with possession, obsession, transformation, money and resources. A second New Moon occurs in Gemini right at the end of the month, on the 30th, representing opportunities to express, rebel and respond. We may all be involved in a curious situation with a friend or family member, perhaps someone is finally telling the truth about an occurrence that happened a long time ago. This can shock us or awaken us - depending on which side we choose to take. The side of righteousness is often favoured. Remember, this transit is here to refresh our energy, to clear away old debts and to set us off on our own extraordinary journey, one we don’t need to apologise for embarking on. Follow your joy, and look for symbols that represent to you, that you are on the right path forward.
See you next month xo
