Mercury cazimi - 1st May
1st May
Mercury cazimi
Mercury is finally set to pass the Sun, and with that, move through its Cazimi, a period of time when Mercury’s energies are said to be elevated and at “the lap of the King.” Throughout Mercury’s very brief Cazimi - four short hours around the exact second - , Mercurial tasks are empowered with a blessing from the Sun.This is a turning point of this Mercury retrograde cycle. By this time we have had a good understanding of how we've got into this mess of Mercury retrograde situation and what is this all about so we can untangle and sort things out. It is a rebirth of a new beginning for Mercury itself so fresh ideas and having access to wisdom that perhaps divinely sourced is now a possibility. It is an 'aha' moment when you begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel where Mercury retrograde has pushed you into. You have a deeper awareness, and get to the truth, or so to say the 'heart' of the matter during and around the Cazimi time. A piece of insight is landing that has the potential to be problem solving in the days and weeks ahead. The message you receive from the messenger, Mercury from the divine or universe if you like it could be helpful toward relationships, dealing with other people, perhaps legal documents in some capacity. You might get a little revelation and see things form a different perspective and that will help you understand the big picture. It is a great mental reset to start afresh in that particular area that you've found trouble some in the recent days and weeks.
Exact conjunction to the second is: 18:13 PM - 4:13 AM, GMT London on the
11˚ of Taurus .
It is advisable to keep yourself open to receive the insights however this is not the condition of the message. This can come to you as a thought form, during or after mediation, you may open your phone and a message that gives you the clue. You might turn on a television and there would be a subtle hint, that'll give you the chills since you know deep down this was meant for you.
Often this will be connected to your house area where Mercury is this time around. So which of your house is occupies by Taurus, this should also give you some further tip or clue.
You can ask also from the Gods depending on the house position of Mercury in Taurus. Where is Taurus in your chart? Check here
Mercury casimi... in the heart of the King it is going to be a very fortunate day to launch any new endeavour connected to studies, words, paperwork, short journeys, sales and marketing.
4th May
Venus square Neptune
Feelings of confusion and/or disappointment, tension in relationships and a general view of 🌫 fog and being unclear is natural today. You may feel as though you were taken advantage of and as a result you may want to run and hide somewhere and isolated place, or indulge in a spa to lick your wounds spending money way beyond your means. Your judgement can trick you in financial losses which in return will again make you feel worse with emotional and now financial loss as well.
You can spend money in making you feel better but ask an advice of a close friends or relative if it is within your boundaries before going over your budget, be more conscious about your limits and don't go to the extreme.
5th May
Venus sextile Jupiter
Venus in Gemini sextile Jupiter in Aries is a welcomed transit right now, as it brings a needed blessing to our lives. This blessing can come in the form of generosity, optimism, excitement or ease after what has been an otherwise challenging and difficult period of time. During this transit we may find that we are presented with new opportunities for expansion, doors that have been closed may suddenly open up, or the resources we have been lacking become available.
Venus trine Jupiter natives tend to be very well-liked for they have an optimistic and giving nature. People with this placement in their birth chart have a degree of luck with the two benefics in trine, however, they must not take their luck for granted, whether it be with relationship or finances. Effort is still required, but when these people apply passion and hard work, they will find that their needs are always met.We can all benefit from this transit by using it to allow ourselves to feel good, count the blessings we do have and give of ourselves as generously as we are able, even if only to share a smile with a stranger.
5th May
Full Moon Eclipse in Scorpio
The powerful full Moon lunar eclipse will peak on 5th May at 17:33 GMT on the 14˚57' intense, emotional Scorpio. This lunar eclipse marks a time of inner completion of whatever began with the New Moon in Scorpio in November, last year.
A lunar eclipse is a powerful full moon magnified and extended over a longer period than a regular full moon would be. It is time of completion, of letting go. This is the last of the eclipse in the Scorpio and Taurus eclipse chain as the lunar nodes are changing signs and leaving the fix axis behind. Due to that, we feel as though we are wrapping things up for great new beginnings to take place a little later down the line.
Full moons are often outer experiences that mirror the inner world, but since this is an eclipse the event could be challenging as it might feel destined or fated in some sort of way. Eclipses can bring upheavals and chaotic times around, as we are in less control and more in the hands of destiny.
The main element of this lunation is Mars in Cancer the ruler of the eclipse forming a grand water trine with Neptune and Moon 🌙 which do
7th May
Venus enters Cancer
Venus enters the romantic and intuitive sign of Cancer today, bringing a deeply sensitive nature to the planet of love and relationships. Those with this placement need security and reassurance from their partners and in return are highly loyal and committed in love. Venus in Cancer is incredibly devoted and nurturing in partnership and you’ll often find those with this placement doing domestic things like cooking or cleaning for their loved ones as well as snuggling under layers of cozy blankets.
This transit is going to begin with a nice stabilising trine to Saturn to solidify the already established relationships and give a long term commitment possibility to those who are just at the beginning stage of their love. As she progresses into the depth of Cancerian waters she makes agreeable contact with the Lunar Nodes and the planets messages and thought Mercury and Uranus will bring the excitement element throughout this period. However, Venus will square Jupiter and coming into a closer opposition to Pluto from this sign and both of these energies will intensify Venus in Cancer’s soothing nature into something that is a little more wild and passionate!
9th May
Sun conjuct Uranus
During theses 3-4 days until the aspect lasts expect the unexpected. There will be changes that are shocking behaviour of authority figures, father or even an important male figure in your life. There will be lots of flexibility needed otherwise this transit will cause upsets and havoc. Uranus is the planet of authenticity and higher truths so if you weren't living according to that this transit will push you out of that comfort zone in a split of a second. Expect disruptions in your career that brings you radical changes. You may have to face identity crisis and that makes you behave erratically, shocking people around you. If you have been working in a career that was not in true alignment with your being you may even lose your job now. Or you might be forced to relocate since the place you have been living was inauthentic to your being.
The best way to handle this transit is acknowledge that these changes were long coming, only you didn't pay attention to them. Remember Uranus only breaks you away something that was not yours anyway. Once the dust and the chaos settles a bit you can start rebuilding your kingdom to something that is more true to yourself.

New Moon in Taurus with Algol the demonic star
New Moon in Taurus is going to happen on the 28th degree of Taurus on the exact degree where the demonic star 💫 Algol resides.
Algol the most notorious and feared star of all is in the constellation of Perseus and it represent the head of Gorgon Medusa.
In the myths Perseus was out to kill the snake haired woman whose glaze was enough to turn men to stone.
He succeeded with the help of some gods but the head of Medusa become even more powerful after her death.
Thanks to this mythological origin Algol is often associated with losing one's head, even if it is symbolically. It is the ultimate star of wealth however (Lady Diana had it in prominently place in her chart as well as the British royal family). Medusa is also a powerful symbol of feminine power, magic and transformation. The blood dripping from her head was connected to the magic of menstrual cycle.

In ancient mythology, Mars is the God of War, the ultimate warrior spirit. In astrology, Mars is the planet that signifies heat, action, energy, ambition, aggression, passion. Mars is the animal instinct that is so necessary for our survival. Mars is the will, a very immediate planet, he wants what he wants and he wants it NOW. Mars is how we go after our desire, yes including sexual desire. The sign of Mars shows how we take action to reach our goals.
Mars in Leo can express himself, he wants to be generous, he wants to lead, act, be unique and spontaneous but also needs acknowledgement. Mars here in the fixed fire sign wants to create a lasting fire, he wants a royal throne, dramatic and performing act. He wants to be the centre of attention and be very creatively expressive.
Mars is the soldier, your willpower, your strength here is becoming very dramatic, he is fiery, regal, (where he can stand yes, I ‘made it)
I wanna be the centre of attention
Mars becomes very sexualised here, very dynamic, also a bit unfaithful and argumentative (until the 22nd June)
Why? Sun is in Gemini (Mars’ dispositor)
after the 22nd June, more sensitive
Mars’ fiery nature is now about finding the light for his work.
Mars will meet Pluto in opposition right upon his ingress into Leo, which is a very explosive, powerhouse energy. So the introduction to Leo won't go unnoticed. By the 25th of June he will create a T-square with Jupiter and Pluto. Something super intense and volatile may happen in your life that is coming from the Taurus house to your Aquarius one. Calming your nervous system is essential before you move forward. If you do that , this could be a profound positive change that was much and long needed but never happened. Now is the time whilst Jupiter and Pluto along with Mars form a T- square together creating a powerful energy that can transform your life in a very liberating way. This constellation has a massive, creative potential to put your through some sudden change in your life that will shake you up and put you right in your path.

Treats of Gemini sesason
First it's lighthearted. Then it's fast and informative. Last it's changeable. You may not feel this right now, because of the heaviness of the fixed T square that may bring some profound, much needed distruction then changes to your doorstep. Once that dissipates by the end of May the lightness of Gemini season will kick in. For you to leave behind the ashes and look forward to the new, to learn from the past and enjoy the current state of art.
I wish you easy recovery if you have fixed planets or angles that this T square has activated. A promise of upbeat giddiness is in the air...
Gemini season in characterised by:
Wit, variety & curiosity
Curiosity killed the cat & opened Pandora's box.
But where we would all be without a tiny bit of child like curiosity that breeds the thirst for knowledge? Men would be still in earthly paradise, flowing in rivers of milk and honey. Feminine charm and beauty wouldn't exist, learning could never take place and life would be meaningless without the god given trait: curiosity. Existence would be dull perfectionism without any variety.
Pandora may have released ills and evil, but with that came sweet hope to conquer helplessness and rise to power.
Knowledge is power
21st May
T-square between Mars opposite Pluto and square Jupiter
During these couple of days even a week whilst this energy will be felt, (and it will be!) there will be powerful changes going on. Mars will come into a T - square configuration with Pluto (opposite) and Jupiter (square).
Mars opposite Pluto is an aggressive, powerhouse energy that sometime gets projected onto others. You could have behaved like a saint and someone else is terrifying the life out of you. And you don't understand. You were impeccable, you're calm, you are pleasantly kind. Yet, this distructive, dark, mysterious energy lurks you from beneath the surface.It is an eruption of dynamic vivacity that has been dormant, hidden in the depth of your subconscious, or under the ground, given it is physical with Mars in the picture. Pluto in Aquarius is talking about the AI, the new technocratic age, and Mars in Leo will want to challenge that. Because Leo Mars wants to be unique, artisitic and manmade. Jupiter in Taurus talks about expansion of material resource such as money. So these three will butt heads with each other and launch a major battle as a collective energy, and something profound, an innovation will be born out of the ashes. Can't wait to see what that is going to be.
On a more personal level, look at your fixed houses, Leo, Taurus and Aquarius if you are getting triggered, there is/are any planet on the early degrees, you will feel it playing out in those houses. Pluto has the biggest say in this picture since it is the most invisible but most powerful outer planet. Be careful how you react to people, avoid confrontation at all costs as it can explode. into a monstrosity in a blink of en eye. Expect unique, powerful transformation happening in those fixed signed houses of yours, that might feel like a major distructive forces are taking you down, but eventually you will rise above the ashes like a phoenix bird and come out in the other side. Your battle against the odds will prove yourself .
Sun trine Pluto
21st May
Powerful self expression even overbearing behaviour could be characterised. by these couple of days but if that's the picture it can be done with ease and flow that doesn't necessary harm anyone.
You can get a great deal done during this transit and that's because it comes with intensity and the need to dig deep, look in the hidden corners, shine light on secretive and dark issues that were buried under the ground. You can project this magnetic aura, that mesmerises people to the extent of the obsession.
Great time to find reveal truth, investigate, look at a subject with a magnifying glass.

23rd May
Mars square Jupiter
Overdoing your confidence could be a typical outcome of this aspect. Jupiter gives highly energised quality to this aspect with more buoyancy and charisma. However, you may overstretch yourself and can come across boastful thinking that you can get away with anything. This could be a downfall of the aspect. There is a need to regulate your enthusiasm and consciously practise self restrain but this proves to be challenging this time.
You have this great desire to be adventurous in sexuality, you want to conquer and explore all territories you come in contact with.
You could benefit from slowing down, face and learn from the mistakes you may make and that will allow the more positive manifestation of this aspect to take the lead.

Chiron
“What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love can be a healing game or love can hurt.
Is the ultimate message of this aspect. It is all about a childhood wound that prevents us to love, and the feeling of not worthy of love. Chiron brings up these issues, but this is exactly the time when we can heal those wounds by becoming aware of therm. Pay attention to what is happening with you and in your environment around you. Do you feel any wounding these days? What does that teach you? How can you help yourself? If love feels painful you definitely have some healing to do. Listen to what people have to say to you, even if it hurts, they might be showing you what you need to do, where you need to look for healing and soothing that wounds.
Never have been a better time than now to deal with it, become aware is almost the biggest job, 80% of healing.
Remember
You are worthy of love
Venus sextile Uranus
This transit makes you enjoy things out of the ordinary. You may fall in love unexpectedly, or with someone who is not in your age range or cultural back round. This romance can be very exciting or with long distance, may get off the ground very quickly but also be somewhat volatile.
You can make sudden changes in your appearance or seek a hobby that you've never tried before.
Changes in value system or spending habits are very likely.
Lunaclair.
26th May
Sun square Saturn
28th May
When Sun meet Saturn in tense aspect, Saturn the planet of limits, duty and karmic debts dims Sun's light and his ability to shine. Self-expression becomes rather limited and the ego is blocked, shut down. There is not a lot of self confidence during these days and fears might keep you trapped from performing or creating. It feels as someone has thrown a damper on your ability to have fun and enjoy yourself. No, this is not a lighthearted, party time. You could be called out for a past mistake that you have long forgotten about. A responsibility may feel now especially heavy and burdensome. Your mood is more pessimistic, negative with a tendency to feel depressed because of heavy karma that may show up as a boss, parent or authority figure who is calling you to account, giving you harsh criticism even sometimes bully you. It is not a long lasting influence, unless Saturn is transiting the natal Sun. It is best to accept if you have to pay for past mistakes, learn from it and put your head down, work through it meticulously, patiently with no or very little reward for your hard work. This too shall pass.
