Welcome to the episode on the astrology of May 2024.
Speaker 1:
We have a much more mellow month in May, so get ready to unwind, relax and gear up for a Gemini influx at the end of the month. I will share the key dates and astrological activities during the month of May. Here they are May 2nd Pluto retrogrades in Aquarius. May 7th is the new moon in Taurus. May 15th Mercury transits into Taurus until June 3rd. May 20th the sun transits into Gemini. May 23rd is a full moon in Sagittarius, with the sun in Gemini. Also on May 23rd, venus transits into Gemini until June 17th. On May 25th, jupiter transits into Gemini until June 2025. And from May 30th to June 3rd we've got Jupiter in Gemini, trining Pluto in Aquarius.
Speaker 1:
May moseys in as a much mellower month than April. We can catch our breath and let the chips fall where they may after the astro antics of April, including the manic Mercury retrograde, the stellar solar eclipse and major planetary conjunctions. Taurus terrain rules in early May, with four planets, including Venus, sun, jupiter and Uranus, touring on Taurian turf, enhanced at the Taurus new moon on May 7th and with Mercury joining the earthy element on May 15th. After the 20th of May, the Taurus takedown turns to a Gemini jubilee. Use the influx of Taurian energies to get your money house in order and take care of economic concerns during early May. Go out in nature, walk outside in the fresh air and feel the natural energies rebirthing out there and within you. Enjoy the spring blooms and fumes, get very grounded. Venus in Taurus nudges us to enjoy in earthly pleasures such as dining on delicious foods, getting massages, soaking in salt baths and other sensuous delights. Ooh la la, powerful Pluto pulses in reverse on May 2nd, retrograding until October 11th in Aquarius, until September 1st, 2024, when he backtracks to Capricorn, shifting back into Aquarius again on November 20th, coinciding with the election season in the United States.
Speaker 1:
This time offers a pivot point between past and future, with the Capricornian old order battling it out, breathing their last gasps of Plutonian power. As the Aquarian, new paradigms have already bloomed and are emerging in our world world. Instead of fearing the Plutonian purging in the realm of karmic Capricorn, we should look at this as an opportunity to clear and release even more baggage that is yet to be disposed of in the previous years of Pluto's transit through Capricorn during 2008 through 2023. So Pluto's retrograding on May 2nd will go back into Capricorn for two months, from September through November 20th. So we should be seeing some very, very interesting developments in the world as people try to rehash and go back to what we know doesn't work anymore. For the collective, this means more restructuring or even collapse or flailing of existing structures in our societies, including governments, economics, education and healthcare systems. The focus is back on these larger institutions that govern our world and consider whether they're too flawed or outdated to continue in their current form. So Pluto retrogrades again from May 2nd through October 11th, but goes into Capricorn and doesn't get back into Aquarius until November 20th. It's a couple months there. So when Pluto does retrograde. From May 2nd through October 11th, we get to revisit our transformational process, look at what is dying or leaving our lives and perhaps rebirth ourselves. Pluto is the planet of death and transformation, so its retrograde subtly affects our relationship to slow-moving changes taking place in society. Pluto retrograde allows time for a population to integrate big shifts in situations and consciousness and consciousness. Sometimes groups of people will wake up to power plays that the governments, military, media or other groups who hold power have implemented in a population. Pluto backspins once a year for about five months at a time when Pluto retrogrades, those born during the sign it is retrograding through, in this case Aquarius and Capricorns, as well as Scorpios, will be impacted. Scorpios, because they are naturally ruled by Pluto.
Speaker 1:
Taurus' new moon arrives on May 7th, ushering in enjoyment of all things earthy and sensual. Hallelujah. We are out of the eclipse moons and can fully partake of the advantage of this new moon to set intentions, make our affirmations and plant seeds for our money and love to bloom this year. The moon is exalted in Taurus as the lunar goddess is friends with Taurean ruler, venus, and they are both hanging out in her palatial palace. Yes, venus is in Taurus. Venus, sun, moon, uranus and Jupiter are all luxuriating on Taurus turf. It's a love fest.
Speaker 1:
Positive energies, especially related to women or female energies, abound. Feel and enjoy the enhanced Shakti, a Sanskrit term for divine female life force, which both men and women have access to in their bodies. Get grounded, centered focus on financial and physical security and well-being. Restoration of health, upgrading our physical body, activating our light body, regeneration of life force will help us ride the waves of change on the new earth. The new earth. Uranus and Jupiter are still hand-holding, moving together through 22 to 25 degrees of Taurus, loosely conjuncting this new moon. Dally and daydream in the garden of abundance. Know your self-worth and ask Taurus planets to show me the money honey. Get creative with managing your finances and resources and tightening the belt, as well as making your money work for you. Cut out extravagant or unnecessary expenses. Use this new moon in Taurus and plant seeds for future flowerings and shifting sands. This new moon occurs at 18 degrees Taurus.
Speaker 1:
The Sabian symbol of 18 degrees Taurus is quote a woman airing an old bag through the open window of her room. The keynote is the cleansing of the ego consciousness. This symbol suggests that the real enemy is within the mind. It is the ego and its attachment to possessions. The mind is shown in the likeness of the bag, now empty and needing to be aired in the sunlight, but the window must first be open and the bag emptied. This is all, by the way, coming from Dane Rudar and his book An Astrological Mandala, and he continues.
Speaker 1:
The phrase cleansing the doors of perception has become well known of late. But even more to be cleansed is the container of perceptual images, ie the ego mind. The key word is purification. So cleansing the doors of perception, a phrase from Aldous Huxley which Jim Morrison took to call the band the Doors. So this Sabian symbol shows us that we have the choice to be ruled by ego mind, which includes the body and body consciousness, more in a restricted way, or we free up ego mind so that we can connect with the higher mind, and the process that we do that in is with a purification, intentional purification, of ego mind. So this new moon in Taurus gives us the opportunity to do just that. Take advantage of this powerful archetypal Sabian symbol at this new moon. Mercury joins the Taurus cosmic party on May 15th, amplifying all things Taurus, including self-worth, wealth, consciousness, resources, romance, flirtation, security and stability and stability.
Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:
Full Moon in Sagittarius with Sun in Gemini occurs on May 23rd at 9.53 am Eastern Time. There will be much happening on the political and international front. The media will be hopping with headlines, as this Sagittarius full moon brings issues to a head. Resolutions and solutions are possible to international skirmishes and other concerns. Pluto in Aquarius throws a favorable aspect to both the Sun and Moon, lending a helping hand in sorting out conflicts and conundrums.
Speaker 1:
The Moon in Sagittarius is truth-seeking, desiring to see the big picture and find all pieces to the puzzle. Sun in Gemini can obscure the truth with fibs and white lies and withheld information. We have to decipher the truth for ourselves in May because we will be bombarded by two sides of the story and many different versions of the truth. This full moon focuses on information, communication, attitude and a sense of adventure. Bring on some Gemini joy and sassy Sagittarian steam. Sagittarius full moon asks that we look at the big picture and gaze into our future with optimism. Venus goes into Gemini on the same day, enhancing the theme of communication and information. Time will also feel as if it is speeding up. On a personal level, this is an exciting time which gives the brain power and incentive to follow through on new ideas and inspirations. Our neural networks and social outreach are making great connections. The excitement is bubbling over with potentials and possibilities popping up.
Speaker 1:
The sapien symbol for the full moon at three degrees Sagittarius is quote two men playing chess. The keynote is the transcendent ritualization of conflict. And again I quote from Dane Rudars, an astrological mandala quote. Essential to sociocultural living is the transmutation of man's natural aggressiveness. Under most conditions of existence, many rituals, sports and games have no basic aim. In chess, the complex types of energy which in their togetherness constitute a human person are symbolized by six kinds of pieces the king, queen, bishops, knights, rooks and pawns. The struggle between light and darkness, the yin and yang forces, is ritualized, ending in most cases with check mating of the king, again a representative of the ego, the conscious self. In a dualistic world, such a contest between polarized forces is omnipresent. The chess game trains people to be more objective, more careful, more aware of whole situations and less impulsive and intent upon side issues. It brings to the objective, consciousness, the basic realities and interpersonal interplay, so important at this time, when I mentioned that many international situations conflicts. In this case it might be the war going on in the Middle East and the Ukrainian-Russian conflict. All of these will be shed light on and we may see what really is behind them and what forces are at work and who can make gains from this and what is actually being spun in the media about it and what other international webs are happening. And how can the game of chess show us the complicated dynamics of what is happening on the worldwide scene and how the interplay between players is important. And what is this all leading to? So pay attention to what shows up both in the collective and in your personal life. How are you interconnected and are being asked to interplay with others in your life ultimately ultimately to reach a soulful solution and not an ego power play.
Speaker 1:
Jupiter transits into Gemini on May 25th 2024 and stays there until June 9th 2025. Jupiter is the jovial giant of the zodiac, known as the guru in Vedic astrology, and wherever he graces his presence is where our knowledge, experience and our understanding will be expanded. Jupiter blesses us with optimism, growth, abundance, prosperity and generosity. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and in astrology is known as the great benefic and the expander. It is generally agreed upon by astrologers that any Jupiter transit to your natal birth chart will be a good transit. So Gemini's and other air signs Aquarius and Libra get ready. Your luck is about to change for the better.
Speaker 1:
Jupiter quest for profound truths and significance linked with the realms of the higher intellect, philosophy, truth and spirituality. Transiting into Aries and sometimes flaky Gemini Jupiter may be confounded. Gemini's characteristic objectivity, curiosity and multifacetedness, and sometimes duplicitous behaviors, are not natural to Jupiter's truth-seeking and deeper dives into the nature of reality. In Gemini, jupiter's negative manifestations could show up as a lack of follow-through, too many ideas without a plan to set them into motion, gossip, tmi or too much information lies, wishy-washy, two-faced energy and indecision. So watch against that in the coming year.
Speaker 1:
During Jupiter's transit through Gemini, an air sign, it will inspire mental adventurism, fostering a readiness and eagerness for learning and expanding the mind. Be ready to be versatile, sociable, curious and willing to broaden your perspectives. Jupiter in Gemini thrives on engaging with diverse viewpoints and exploring various angles of an argument or situation. Practical and applicable information and wisdom will be valued. Argument or situation, practical and applicable information and wisdom will be valued, emphasizing the importance of news we can use in our daily lives. Faith in ourselves can bring about auspicious outcomes, positive circumstances or plain good luck. The last transit of Jupiter through Gemini was from June 11, 2012 through June 25, 2013. So remember what went on in your life during that time period and maybe you can take it to a new level as Jupiter transits Gemini from May 25, 2024 through June 9, 2025. From May 25th 2024 through June 9th 2025.
