Welcome to May the 5th month of the year! This is Universal Year 6, which makes May an 11 Universal Month! This year is about the rebirth and 11 is walking through the gateway, using your intuition as a navigation system.
May is double new beginnings. Just before we entered May, the planet Pluto went retrograde, after months of all planets moving direct, there is a pause, as Pluto stations and then goes retrograde. Also, we are now officially in Eclipse Season, with the lunar nodes in Taurus and Scorpio. The day before we entered May we experienced the New Moon in Taurus with the Solar Eclipse. The next eclipse during this season will be on May 15-16 depending on where you live in the world.
Universal Month #11/2
With the 2 – 1’s, it makes May a double new beginning month. Being in eclipse season this can bring revelations, unforeseen endings with a rapid new beginning. The integration time of eclipse season is 6 months. The changes will gradually unfold until the next eclipse season starting the end of October.
Pluto went retrograde on April 29. Pluto represents transformation, life, death, rebirth, so the impact of the change that is ruled by Pluto is power and control. The day #29 is filled with trails and tests, but synchronicities are the addition of 29=11 (2+9). When you breakdown the 11=2. The #2 represents relationships, #1 is male and the #2 is female. There will be many opportunities that will come from the connections that you have. Both the #11 & #2 connect to your intuition. Be mindful in trusting the intuitive information you receive. There is an inspiration that guides you through this month, be sure to bring yourself back to balance, by resting and staying in a peaceful space. May will be a slower month try not to speed things up, be patience and persevere.
May is an initiation – gateway – confronted with the unknown – allow information to inspire you. Open to the portal of information from source. Intuitively – be the vessel. To be the vessel and download the information it may be more beneficial to you, to find peaceful and quiet places to integrate the energy of change.
May 11th Mercury goes retrograde
Pre-shadow periods begins on April 26 when Mercury was at 26° of Taurus! During this period Mercury is slowing down. Mercury goes retrograde on May 11th at 4° Gemini until June 4, during the retrograde Mercury move back to Taurus 26°. Post-shadow begins on June 5 – 18 when Mercury will be at 4° Gemini and back to it quick spaced movement.
May 16 – Full Moon in Scorpio- Lunar Eclipse at 25 degrees at 12:12 am EST, GMT 5:12 am, May 15 9:12 pm PST
Full Moons are the opposition of the Sun and Moon, with this lunation there is a T-square involving Saturn giving an opening to a divine timing, activating our emotions. Scorpio is a deeply emotional water sign, governed by the planet Pluto, before this planet was discover the planetary ruler was Mars, I refer to this sign’s element as Fire Water.
The #25 brings up history bringing it back to full circle, history repeating itself! However, our emotions are driven by the way you were programmed. Most of this programming was fear based, leaving us vulnerable and in victim consciousness, making us feel unsafe and insecure. Scorpio and Pluto govern the dark side, underworld, things that we may be afraid of, the unknown, the unseen. This is a time to dig deep into your unconscious. This is all changing because the more you are open to the unseen or the invisible and realize that it is only fear programming, the transformation can take place.
Depending on the circumstances of your life. This is an optimal time to work through any pain or trauma that has occurred in your life so that you can uncover your truth.
This is all about souls’ growth and being reborn, leaving the trauma in the past by consciously dealing with it and being aware of it. Shining the light on the darkness, leaves only the light. Once you view it as the observer and deal with all the emotions that you have pushed down, hidden, or swept under the carpet. It really will seem less important, less traumatic. Transcend the energy that no longer serves a purpose in your life.
Follow your intuition, surrender to the wisdom that comes from trusting yourself and let go of emotions that cause nervous tension and trust in your higher self to guide you.
New Moon in Gemini at 9 degrees on May 30 at 12:30 pm GMT, 7:30 am EST, 4:30am PST
Sun and Moon are at 9 degrees in Gemini and there is a sextile to Mars and Jupiter in Aries. This is showing you that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Over the past couple of months there has been a lot of emotional healing happening and it has been shown in the lunations, especially the Eclipses and the initiation of the new beginnings.
This Gemini New Moon is a lot lighter and brings many Gifts. Mercury is the ruler of the Gemini, and it is making 3 aspects during this New Moon, all of them at the end degrees of the signs, synchronizing with the 9° that this New Moon is at, representing, “Endings”. There is a transformation of communication, when focusing on the lesson and ending old ways of communication by using your mind and thoughts. The new way is using your intuitive abilities.
Mercury is in retrograde during this New Moon and any time a planet is in retrograde it is a time to – reflect, reprogram, review on the theme of the planet, in this case – communication and information.
Your mind will be very active, so be patient. Don’t revert to old patterns of judgement. Recalibrate your mind and take the time needed to discern while in conversation. You may have to take a step back and take your time answering or interjecting in a conversation.
Perhaps you can ask yourself – How can I change my approach to this conversation? Here is a suggestion, connect with your heart and feelings instead of your head and ego.
Time to Move forward!
Divine Blessings,
