Mayday, Beltane, Taurus, gentle growthful energy is expected. This year, not so much! We are still dealing with a LOADED Aries. And Aries is energy direct and impulsive, and it is chock full of personal planets today. Even the moon is there.
What does this mean? It especially means that there is a lot of energy around, and it doesn’t stop and think, it just goes right at things.
Now last month had most of this going on but Mercury was retrograde, so the energy sort of went sideways and blew around. Not so much now. Mercury is out of retrograde and more or less out of shadow.
All the things that got you going last month you can go after directly now. And lots of people will.
On May Day, we have Mars and Jupiter right together in Aries, where Mars is right at home. Expect people to be making noise and going directly after what they want. You can do that too, especially if you have planets at 22 degrees in a fire sign (Aries, Leo Sagittarius) or a cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn). And you can give it five degrees in either direction. But the last thing you want to do is get in the way of those who do by trying to slow them down when they are moving fast.
On the tenth we have Jupiter Venus and Mercury exactly on that 23 degree point. You can give this on five degrees in either direction too, it is powerful. That is going to be quite a significant degree this month!
The Sabian symbol for Mars/Jupiter is:
“A woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable but veiled load.”
There is a bit of mystery but with value and a generally upbeat energy, potential treasure.
The Sabian Symbol for 23 degrees with Mercury, Venus and Jupiter on May 10th is:
“An open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia .”
“An open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia .”
You can smell the flowers in the air and the cornucopia filling with fresh food.
These symbols indicate that the power in these two degrees is of a generally positive and lucrative, expansive nature. Jupiter itself is about expansion and is generally considered to be very fortunate as is Venus. So it looks like the power in May will be for the good. Especially in the degrees I mentioned.
Finally on the 16th it starts to mellow out to feeling like Taurus, ahhhh. Of course by that time the Sun is already in Gemini, it is Mercury, Venus and Mars that have taken over Taurus. Venus is in its own sign. Now that feels better. And the energy stays for a bit, on the 20th they are all in the same place (conjunct) in Taurus at 7 degrees and trining Pluto in Capricorn and the moon there too. A lot of power here! Emotional, relationship, communications, I would expect a lot of relationships beginning or going to a higher level at this time with the Moon/Pluto transformation is in the wind.
For the strongest indications of this energy look at 7 degrees in Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) or the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius).
On the 30th, the moon is hanging around in Taurus with the three planets there. The energy of Taurus continues all month, despite the Sun’s ingress into Gemini.
Taurus loves the outdoors, any kind of plant life, animals and nature. Taurus is artistic, particularly in a practical crafty way. Things one can use rather than just cerebral forms. It is a pleasant and grounded energy that should be lovely after the Aries overdose of the last several weeks. Enjoy.
