Hi Everyone

May promises to be rather quiet, especially compared to April.

Mercury goes direct on May 3^rd at 12:33 p.m. He’ll be at 24⁰ Aries at the time. He’ll enter slow-moving Taurus on May 16^th, so our thinking may become more deliberate, less impulsive than it was in April.

The Full Moon occurs on May 10th at 20⁰ Scorpio and the New Moon is on May 25^th at 4⁰ Gemini. The Sun enters Gemini on May 20^th at 4:31 p.m. Gemini is the sign of the twins – and there are definitely two sides to the sign. It’s an air sign that tends to flit from one thing to another and is easily bored. Gemini wants to know a little bit about everything and is generally very restless.

As we go through May, the only planet in water is Neptune. So sensitivity may be a bit lacking. The planets in fire (Venus, Saturn, Uranus) will do very well with those in air (Sun, Mars, Jupiter), but they may have trouble settling down. This fire/air combination frequently looks like the Peter Pan complex – never wanting to grow up or bring their ideas to fruition because everything looks better in their heads. The planets in earth signs (Mercury, Pluto) may slow us down a little bit, but don’t work well with either fire (great way to put it out) or air. However, once these elements agree to work with each other, we could have the practicality of earth applied to the inspiration of fire and the ideas of air. Up to us on how we choose to use these energies both individually and collectively!

Have a great May!

Peace and abundant blessings,

Margaret
