“The only way we can eliminate despots in this world, is not to be peaceful about it, for that has been the case for many people that has caused the upheaval of such tyranny, nor we should turn the other way, but we must take appropriate actions to eliminate the thriving forces of such darkness in our world.”

May begins with a nice influence from the earth signs — the MOON in VIRGO aspects the SUN, MERCURY Rx and URANUS with a trine, and MARS with a sextile indicating abundance, exchange of ideas, communication, offers and windfalls, but the emphasis falls on the retrograde movement of PLUTO in AQUARIUS as well as the FULL MOON and Lunar Eclipse in SCORPIO.
PLUTO, the Great Transformer, as powerful as his name, stands almost mute at the very beginning of inventive AQUARIUS, cold and unrelenting to the demands of us humans, the offerings we have to give him — square TRUE NODE and JUPITER in an orb of several degrees — cut off from all humanity — Aquarius — extremely individual and almost inhuman or rather dehumanized. Insensitive and fact-oriented. For now its influence is more abstract, but we have yet to see its power in action. Today the original intention to keep magical knowledge secret or limited will become dogmatic and unreasonable. PLUTO begins its retrograde movement on May 1 at 0° Aquarius 22'Rx and ends on October 10 at 27° Capricorn 53'D.
On the same day, retrograde MERCURY makes a conjunction with the SUN — things go slowly, very slowly, especially communication, movement, making new concepts, etc., but still this is a call to make wishes, because now those wishes will come true.
The transit of JUNO, the asteroid in charge of marital relations in GEMINI (May 2 — June 22), is a call to talk to each other more, instead of trying to outsmart each other. If someone does not immediately agree with our ideas, it does not mean that it is a personal attack on ourselves — here a distinction should be made — therefore, this period should use the intelligence to educate and understand the other side.
The transit of PALLAS, an asteroid whose archetype signifies wisdom in military tactics and creative intelligence in LEO (May 3 — July 10), is a call to make a new strategy mostly around creative projects, career, expression and the way to solve problems. This is the period when one should not be shy but call the audience to see our efforts.
JUPITER semi-sextile NEPTUNE (May 3) is a beautiful aspect that emphasizes imagination, the desire to travel and study, so you may visit a faraway place or be visited by a guest from a faraway place, which will certainly inspire and give you a new vision of life.
VENUS square NEPTUNE ( May 4 ) an idealistic vision of love and money can cloud judgment, so caution is needed in these sectors.
The FULL MOON and Lunar Eclipse (May 5) in intense SCORPIO is a moment of release of all negative energies, a moment for purification, removal of toxic baggage and emotional reactions. This is a day of heightened geomagnetic activity, so floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are possible. This is a call to get rid of everything that no longer has any meaning in our lives, and mostly it refers to secrets, sexuality, the attitude towards death and dying, as well as the renewal and transformation of forces.
CERES, the asteroid whose archetype represents nurturing, especially the mother-child relationship, goes direct (May 6) in meticulous VIRGO. Hence the feeling of being cared for when people help us improve our skills will be restored.
VENUS moves into sensitive CANCER (May 7 — June 5), with which traditional values will be emphasized, as well as the need to beautify and decorate the home space. During this transit, focus and finances will be invested in the home and close family relationships, thus we will succeed in deepening these connections.
All these aspects and transits affect us in a similar way, but also each of us in a very unique way. All this depends, of course, on where, that is, in which houses and sectors of the natal charts all this will happen, so we could draw conclusions and make predictions from there.
This week suggests a slower and more careful approach. During this period take time to check things out and think about your next move, indulge in a lot of fact gathering and due diligence so you have all the information you need. Look before you jump, because time is on your side.
