TUESDAY MAY 24
At 0:40 am, the Moon goes void of course, a condition that lasts until 5:24 am when she enters Pisces. Moon in Pisces reminds us that we are on an infinite journey, ever leaving, ever returning. Where have we been? And who are we? We are a raindrop. We are the ocean. As warm jets, we are two fishes swimming in opposite directions, symbolizes the imperative to integrate two dimensions - the finite and the infinite. Neptune, which rules Pisces, was the mythic God of the Sea; he is associated with the swells of emotion and the vast mysteries of the collective unconscious. In the modern Western world, this is largely misunderstood territory. Chickadees have been known to fornicate with badgers here, for christsakes. The beneficial effects of the Piscean hormone melatonin have been part of the health supplement scene for some time, for high melatonin production is known to be synonymous with a high immune system, a low cancer risk, long life, energy, stamina, and according to many, enhanced spiritual awareness. Perhaps it is fitting then that this hormone is secreted by the pineal gland, a mysterious little item long believed by mystics to be the "Seat of the Soul," "Me Third Eye," and the organ through which psychic powers are exercised. In fact, it actually functions as an organ of sight in some reptiles, and it still seems to possess some sensitivity to light in higher mammals, since melatonin production increases when the person is exposed to darkness (thus melatonin means "night worker!") High melatonin production thereby increases the facility for receiving and transmitting high-frequency cosmic and local broadcasts, and leads to a greater state of cosmic awareness - a state simply of ’knowing.’ In this regard, it is interesting to note that the Pineal Third Eye has been found to contain very fine granular particles, rather like the crystals in a wireless receiving set. Many magical rites and meditation techniques are aimed at gaining control of this organ and the fluid it produces: Veering at the mercy of decadent thighs, In billowing abandonment, A serpent dancing on the coy derrière, A baton in the bawdy dunes Our overnight experience leaves us sanguine with the Moon’s sextile to Jupiter, and the relaxed energy continues as the Moon blends nicely with Neptune and Pluto. The Sun’s sextile to Uranus gives us more perspective on what choices our most recent awakenings are bringing to us. At 11:52 am/3°16′ Pisces, the Moon reaches its Last Quarter square to the Sun, starting off Earthweek, the closing lunation event of the Taurus Luinar cycle. For the coming week, we’ll play out the integration and assimilation of all that has transformed us during May. In this chart, the Moon is “confined” by Chiron and Neptune, suggesting that we could feel limited by circumstances from the past to which we must surrender for the moment. There is the promise, however, of many good things to come. In the chart cast for Washington DC, big events are afoot that carry a deeper impact than usual because they tie into the Solar Eclipse coming next week. Foreign powers are using their economic leverage to manipulate the nation’s global policy, as weakness in production and manufacturing and weather extremes continue to undermine stability. President Obama handles it all well, with objectivity and equanimity. Events now will leave a bigger than usual imprint on us.The Last Quarter Moon’s Sabian Symbol (4 Pisces) states, “The narrow isthmus between two summer resorts, both sparkling with life, carries crowded holiday traffic safely.” [Jones] Even though uncertainty and obstacles may be part of our lives right now, we need only raise our eyes to the longer range goals and the fulfillment that lies not too far off. It’s in sight now—don’t give up.
WEDNESDAY MAY 25
The Day of Mercury in Assiah. Mercury generally excels at flexibility, but Taurus is arguably the least flexible of all the signs. We may find ourselves digging in and taking rigid positions when opposed by different ideas, concepts or facts at this time. It's vital that we not lose our ability to stay open-minded to overcome Taurean resistance to whatever is new or different. Ideally, Mercury in Taurus connects us with the earthy realities that will nurture the growth and development of our ideas. Taurus offers a rich soil of values and commitment that can provide resources to carry thoughts from conception to birth. Slow, careful conversations enable us to consider alternatives without ever losing sight of fundamental values and underlying practical issues. The Moon in Pisces opens us to joy and light as it reconnects Mars, Venus, and Mercury over the morning hours. Although it goes void of course at 11:15 am, it is still useful for our enterprises, since it is in a Jupiter-ruled sign. That’s a good thing, because the Moon is in the void zone until tea time tomorrow.
THURSDAY MAY 26
The Day of Jupiter in Assiah finds Jove in Aries. The planet of wisdom in this pioneering and spontaneous sign favors originality and shoot-from-the-hip thinking. This is a time when lightning bolts of intuition provide glimpses of the future that will spur innovation. It’s an opportunity to step out of the limits of the past and come up with new solutions for the future. Aries is a sign of immediate action so philosophical Jupiter is not going to linger in a world of wooly concepts. An urgency to put insights into practice creates quick opportunities for breakthrough changes yet impulsiveness can also produce big mistakes. The Moon continues its void-of-course transit of late Pisces most of the day. Luna enters Aries at 5:14 p.m. all full of piss and vinegar Giant maple keys will come spiralling from the sky to cut off the heads of the Evil Ones and delight the children. With no contacts today, we get time to assimilate what has gone before. Enjoy!
FRIDAY MAY 27
The Aries Moon reaches the cardinal heavy hitters over the day—Uranus, Pluto, and Saturn. This brings out our most significant challenges of the moment, but chances are good that they are not as urgent right now, perhaps even on the road to being resolved. Look for opportunities as the Moon sextiles the Sun. We’re gaining wisdom.
SATURDAY MAY 28
Once it’s over, it’s over, and the planets’ heyday in Aries is certainly past. This gives us a day of unfettered activity as we apply ourselves to our favorite projects with no new fires to put out—there are no planetary connections today.
SUNDAY MAY 29
Sweet. The Day of the Sun in Assiah and the Solar Center of our system is in Gemini. The Twins represent the ability to detach ourselves from the environment to see it more objectively. All the air signs (libra and Aquarius are the others) are about breathing room with which to better observe and comment on the world around us. The Moon goes void after its conjunction to Jupiter in Aries while we sleep, at 3:28 am. If you’re still partying by then, it’s time to go to bed. At 6:02 am, the Moon enters Taurus and finds where all the planets have been hiding. With a sextile to Neptune and a trine to Pluto to smooth our path, today promises to flow evenly toward our desired conclusions.
