Metaversal May

Tuesday, May 3
Although Moon is VOC, in Pisces it’s still effective, and a wee hour trine from vital Sun in prosperous Taurus to Jupiter in practical Virgo gives us a charge to believe in and create wealth and wellness, and that’s worth rising early for. We’re in the Fourth Quarter Moon phase, which helps close a cycle and wrap things up. At 10:04 am (1:04 pm ET), Moon enters Aries, so the rest of the day is good for exercise and beginnings—but the best ones aren’t entirely new, since both ruler Mars and messenger Mercury happen to be retrograde.

Wednesday, May 4
Waning Moon in Aries contacts the planets of freedom (Jupiter and Uranus) and of limit-setting (Saturn and Pluto), then combines with the current retrogrades to help us do a little mental surgery and cut through blocks to releasing.We can scan our homes, closets and bookshelves and purge what’s taking idle space, and scan our minds and relationships and discover where we can loosen up a bit. A trine from Moon to Saturn at 10:38 am (1:38 pm ET) is excellent for organization or constructive efforts on something we began before April 14. In general, avoid unnecessary fights, take your time when driving or other mundane tasks and pay more attention than usual to what you’re doing, as these contacts can be explosive or accident-prone.

Thursday, May 5
Take physical exercise in Jupiter's Day, when he is reigning, and use Jovial things such as Lapis Lazuli, Brass, Cedarwood, blue and aery colours, wine, honey; and entertain thoughts and feelings which are particularly Jovial, that is, expansive, healthy, and with good humour... - Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Astrologer and Orphic Musician

After the tensions of the last couple of days, this morning’s VOC Moon in Aries favors low-key activities, while a contact from Venus to ruler Mars can make for an enjoyable, romantic brunch in bed, perhaps with a side of tantra. At 10:10 am (1:10 pm ET), Moon enters prosperous Taurus. Take some time to prepare intentions for tomorrow’s New Moon in the sign of abundance. This evening favors altruistic endeavors and just plain fun.

Friday, May 6
The Day of Venus in Fireweek. If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. The week closes on a fortunate note, with trines from Moon in prosperous Taurus to lucky Jupiter and powerful Pluto. Set like a jewel between them comes the New Moon in Taurus (4:28 am PT/7:28 am ET), great for breathing new life into a dream or project related to abundance that was seeded or started sometime before April 14, when Mercury entered shadow. The Sabian symbol describes: A SYMBOLIC BATTLE BETWEEN “SWORDS” AND “TORCHES”. Struggle between might and enlightenment, physical desires and higher inspirations. Self-orientation. Divine enthusiasm.

Saturday, May 7
The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Fire Atziluth. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum. "Because your mine, I walk the line". With it being Fire week, honor Saturn today by creating greater stability in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your base Chakra. Our consciousness in this chakra is concerned with survival, with our fight or flight response, with our instincts. It links the individual with the physical world. Serves as the foundation to evolve and build personality. If we are to ignore this chakra, and concern ourselves with the higher levels, we will be growing without roots, we will be unstable, unable to withstand the trials that will come our way. If our survival needs are met, the Base Chakra will function healthily, but if there is a perceived threat to this, (such as a difficult house move, job change, health problems, etc.) it can create an imbalance. Other Saturnian imbalances can show themselves in various ways, from sleeplessness and the inability to relax, to obsession with money, possessions or health. The day begins with Moon in Taurus, where it’s still effective although VOC, and where it extends the prosperous spurt of yesterday’s New Moon.An early trine from Sun to Pluto, the powerhouse, makes this a day of empowerment. With its retrograde motion, Pluto favors deep healing, and in Capricorn can help us organize and advance on our New Moon goals in courageous, determined ways that are ultimately revitalizing. At 9:35 am (12:35 pm ET) Moon enters Gemini. Push forward with communications and promotional projects planned or begun before April 14 and that are related to your New Moon intentions.

Sunday, May 8
May is the month of the Sacred Mother, and today we celebrate her human representative in our lives. Gemini Moon helps us put our thoughts into an eloquent note or card and coordinate with siblings for today’s event, or, those of us whose mother has made her transition may wish to pay homage. At 9:32am (12:32 pm ET), Moon opposes Saturn, good for working on ourselves and harmonizing our sterner feelings with forgiveness, particularly towards Mom or in relation to programs absorbed from her. After that, the day is more propitious for sharing with others, and even discussing our feelings and healing processes.

Monday, May 9
Projecting Light Specific purple or octarine (a particular shade of electric pinkish purple) into your forehead and facing West, activate the Ajna Holographic Image Projection System (third eye), then invoke blessed Gabriel. Diana, or Sailor Moon into your Brow Chakra. It's the Moon's day in the week of active Fire and the body in motion. The lunar orb being receptive and reflective, focuses the qualities of the signs and other planets to our personal Lightcraft. The Lunar center, and its intimate connection with the Holographic Image Projection System, is not only the foundation for the astral plane, but is the fiery aspect of astral energy itself. It cannot be weaned prematurely or circumcised without sedation lest it become traumatized and even more crestfallen. Today is actually a power portal that can open our minds. Readers on the West Coast can begin to observe one of the day’s three major events as the Sun is rising, when Mercury’s occultation of the golden orb begins its ingress, or approach, on our local star’s edge. Do this at a community site or on a telescope equipped with an adequate filter to ensure safe viewing. The transit’s potency will be exact a bit later, as we’ll see further on. While this unusual transit is building, Jupiter the fortunate turns direct in Virgo. It gives a green light to healing, work and service concerns we’ve been cogitating about and reviewing since January 9. It cools off the inner critic and releases us to move forward on projects and intentions that have been stalled by our perfectionism. Retentive people may have played out part of that drama, and we are now freed from them. In general, it will make us feel like we can finally get off the airstrip. Just a bit later, loving and lovely Venus harmonizes with Neptune, planet of compassion, a blending that will help us bring our ideals of kindness home to the heart.Then, at 8:15 am (11:15 ET), mind-planet Mercury perfects its eclipse or occultation of the Sun. This fascinating line-up joins our mental powers to the light of being, permitting breakthroughs in whatever our line of consciousness expansion may be. This will be a stellar day for meditation and inner work of any kind, and more specifically, to heal our issues around the Taurus concerns: values and money.How aligned is our mind with what we truly value? What false beliefs and labels around money are we ready to heal? Questions like these help us get the clarity and freedom this merger promises.
