The planets come, the planets go—at least, that’s the story in May. It’s a Passing of time! In our last episode, Mercury was retrograde in Taurus and continues through May 11. With Saturn also retrograde in Virgo, this can be tagged as a time of getting our lives in order. Saturn’s retrograde is almost complete; it will turn direct on the 30th. In fact, the end of the month shows us quite a Meta-light show, with Jupiter opposing Saturn (the 1st of 3), Saturn stationary direct, Uranus entering Aries, and Neptune and Chiron stationing retrograde (Chiron on June 4). As if that weren’t enough, Jupiter finally gets within range of Uranus as the month wanes to bring improbable miracles and brilliant innovations into our lives. This creates tension that releases through breakthroughs in consciousness. What more could we ask for—we get nothing less than the answers to our prayers!
The inner planets are in a relatively quiet zone in the sky, since they will be in fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). That doesn’t mean it will be quiet for you if you have planets in the early degrees of these signs. Mercury’s retrograde transits this zone, and it squares Mars in Leo in the process. This has the effect of revisiting the Mars retrograde, which also traveled in the same zone of degrees (Mars, 0°–19°; Mercury 2°–12°). This means that whatever saga was set up and experienced in November-March has had another subplot unfold since the beginning of April, when Mercury began its movement through its retrograde zone (although still moving forward).With Saturn, we now have history. It’s been in Virgo since September 2007. Since it returned to Virgo on April 7, our energy is more grounded. We’re pushed back into the field of energy that we inhabited over the past two years, with all the memories and feelings that entails. But it’s almost over; in the meantime, we have some clean-up, clear-out, and get-healthy tasks to finish by July 21. We’re busy! This busy-ness is intensified around May 30 as Saturn makes its station direct, and there’s a sense of release and accomplishment if we’ve done our work up to that point, even if it’s not done yet.v To understand the beauty of an idea it must be seen in focus. It stands before you naked, you can see it, you can taste it, and it comes to you light as the breeze. In focus, the Metaverse is a continual orgy of intense feeling, intellection, & activity, a society of lovers & wild enthusiasts. Now you can drink it or you can nurse it, it don't matter how you worship as long as you're down on your knees. When the social life of Earth is harmonized, our planet will re-join the Metaverse of Passion & undergo vast transformations, affecting human form, weather, animals, & plants, even the oceans. Passion draws humanity into association just as gravity draws celestial bodies into orbital systems. Do not expect curb service with the new model of our solar system that we have now, because it is a mechanical model. So remember, one day, you will go where the stars go and you will know what the stars know. After you have learned all their secrets and think the way they do and your love caresses their heart like the walls of a noonday clock, then you will
Mercury’s retrograde is half over, almost an afterthought by May 1. We can still squeeze more learning out of it if we want. The challenge of this retrograde is to discern between ego and true-self impulses in our consciousness. We get to see the ego trips played out in less harmonious ways just to make sure we get it right. Mercury returns to forward motion (stationary direct) on the 11th. To underscore this process, and to make sure we get the lessons of the Mars retrograde of December 20–March 10, Sun squares Mars on the 4th. This is a blip, but it helps us see how we’re doing with reducing the ego’s role in our lives. Finally, we get more delicious Venus-Mars action when they form a sextile on 7th. This sweetens the cup of love in our lives, and it doesn’t hurt in the money department either. The plot thickens around mid-month however, when Venus sets off a T-square to Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus on the 17th–19th. This tightening trio forms an opposition across the heavens (Saturn to Jupiter-Uranus). Poor Venus gets caught in the middle of quite a fireworks display! This suggests that reconciliation between conflicting elements or factions does not occur naturally during this time. This is the introductory section to a subplot that unfolds as the Sun, then Mercury step into this zone. The bigger story is the one we started working on in September 2008, with a continuous string of plot twists since then. All planetary patterns can play out in harmonious ways and produce beneficial results. It’s good to ask ourselves around this time, “And that’s bad because . . .?”The Sun however makes peace with these titans at the same time (May 17-19), giving us a way to create win-win results. Chiron and Neptune keep us on track with our healing process too, as they square the Sun (May 19-21) and then turn retrograde 2 weeks later (May 30/June 4). We’re still working on healing the Great Wound, but there’s a subtle shift to more energy sensitivity with Chiron now in Pisces.
Observe events on the 23rd, when Venus opposes Pluto. This may establish a situation that plays out in timing with the eclipse on June 26, with a relationship twist. We’ll get a glimpse into our unconscious realms from someone who has a bird’s eye view on our lives. We learn more about what’s real for us. Venus contacts the Lunar South Node (the transiting eclipse point) on the 31st to give us a karmic, cosmic perspective. On May 27, with a relative clash of cosmic cymbals, Uranus enters Aries. Now we get to train ourselves to live life through our authentic self rather than the ego mask we’ve learned from society. How much better would life on this planet be if we all did that?!
