May 2023 is about making friends with this steady, resourceful and productive energy. This is that time of the year to be a bit more – curious, open-minded, and cross-pollinate ideas, reflections, and insights. My best advice this month is to surrender, allow and let go.
May 2nd, 2023 – Sun Conjunct Mercury
This energy is very similar to a New Moon.
Mercury cycles are great for starting projects you can complete in a 4-month time.
Even if you may not actually initiate something new (you may want to wait for Mercury direct on May 15th) this is nevertheless a time to seed a new idea or a new project. Pay attention to any thoughts, news, or insights.
May 5th, 2023 – Full Moon Eclipse In Scorpio
This is a South Node Eclipse. South Node Eclipses are the culmination of our past actions: some things may come to fruition. Other things may come to their natural end.
The Lunar Eclipse is opposite Uranus, so the final outcome may not be what you anticipate!
Whatever happens around this eclipse, it is meant to be. There’s no need to fear anything. Be open to whatever comes.
May 7th, 2023 – Venus enters Cancer
Venus and Cancer speak the same language: the language of feelings. There’s an incredible power in expressing our feelings.
Most of our troubles can be traced back to some unexpressed emotion or an unarticulated feeling. We felt something, but instead of expressing how we feel, instead of going along with our emotional nature, we repressed our feelings, missing an important opportunity for growth.
The emotional nature of Cancer can also increase our sensitivity and make us prone to mood swings, so it is important to pay attention to “how” we actually express our feelings.
May 9th, 2023 – Sun Conjunct Uranus
This transit is an invitation to be unapologetically ourselves. In a world dominated by trends, social media, peer pressure, or doing what’s ‘politically correct’ – dare to be yourself.
The world doesn’t need 8000000000 versions of the same thing – the world needs that 8000000000 unique expressions of life. We are each a creative expression in action. Each of us is a creative force of nature.
May 15th, 2023 – Mercury Goes Direct
This Mercury retrograde has been painfully slow.
Either by choice – or by circumstance (read delays, changes of plans, people not returning emails because they have to ‘think things through’ etc.) we got a taste of Mercury in Taurus’ thoroughness and slow living.
The good news is that we now have a solid, bulletproof plan that will never have to be changed and revised.
May 16th, 2023 – Jupiter Enters Taurus
This is one of the most important transits of the year. Something in your life (indicated by the area of your life ruled by Jupiter) is about to change.
Jupiter is the first social planet, describing how our society as a whole operates. When Jupiter was in Aries we experienced the more Martian, “my way or the highway” expression of Jupiter.
With Jupiter in the Venus-ruled sign of Taurus, society will chill out a bit. We will have more patience with each other’s beliefs and points of view.
Jupiter is also the planet of growth, expansion, and abundance. The sign Jupiter transits tells us where we want to experience growth and abundance. Jupiter in Taurus will shift our growth focus to material possessions, financial growth, and a desire for comfort and stability.
Jupiter in Taurus will encourage us to take practical steps toward achieving our goals, particularly in areas related to finances, material stability and personal values.
May 17th, 2023 – Jupiter Square Pluto
A tense aspect that initiates change. We may feel tension and conflict between our desire for material growth and our need for transcendence and transformation.
This aspect can challenge us to look deeply at our values, goals and beliefs, and to question whether they are a reflection of our highest truth. Do we really want to live in that posh neighborhood? Do we really need to send our kids to that private school?
The answer is not necessarily a NO. Some people reject material abundance because of limiting beliefs and a scarcity mindset. Other people use material abundance and status symbols as an overcompensation for a lack of self-worth.
Pluto will ask us to challenge our beliefs around our personal values and material abundance.
Pluto will also ask us to confront issues of power and control and let go of anything that no longer serves our growth and evolution.
In which ways have you been keeping yourself small out of fear of losing power and control?
May 19th, 2023 – New Moon In Taurus
At this New Moon in Taurus, the universe is truly on your side!
A project you are particularly interested in, a topic you’ve been purring a lot of energy into, will finally materialize (or will be brought to the next level of manifestation).
May 20th, 2023 – Mars Enters Leo
We find it easier to connect to our heart, and act from that place of truth and authenticity. As a result, we will feel more in tune with life, and confident about our actions.
May 21st, 2023 – Sun Enters Gemini
Happy birthday to all Geminis out there!
May 2023 is a month for us us to realize the richness and abundance of self acceptance, love and recognition. When you can truly love who you are + who you are not, this is when outer abundance + prosperity comes rushing in. Even in the midst of such change and unpredictability of life, remember to ground yourselves in your inner truth, beauty and tenacity.
