Astrological Forecast for May 2007
by Mark Dodich
Get ready to pick up the pace of your life. Like stating a locomotive train, the month starts slowly before picking up to runaway speed by the Blue moon on the 31st. It all begins with the first full moon of May, early morning on the 2nd.
The fixed signs of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Leo are emphasized for the next two weeks. Regardless of your zodiac birth sign, these signs of endurance and perseverance are activating you. The lesson is to stay strong and bull through problems, yet to know when to let go.
On the esoteric side of astrology, a spiritual master known as Djwahl Kuhl called this the Cross of Transmutation. This is the spiritual energy of transforming dense, dark energy into Light. Similar to the alchemical transformation of lead into gold, this full moon helps you change the energy of your life.
It is time to step up into the next level of power, so trust yourself to release old beliefs and behaviors. Keep reminding yourself that you are being pulled apart to put you back together in a better way.
If you participate in Cinco de Mayo celebrations, you may want to start on Friday the 4th. The moon will be in Sagittarius, stimulating parties, adventure, and philosophy. It is also the sign of going to excess, so be like the Buddha and practice moderation in all things. Saturday the 5th holds mental ups and downs. Allow your moods to swing in different directions during the day.
The tone changes on Sunday the 6th when the moon grounds itself in productive Capricorn. Part of you wants to be serious early in the week, and part of you wants to drift off into fantasy thinking. Although a few romanticized illusions may burst, the early week easily blends work and floating in the dreamtime.
When you are in this dream space, include visions on increasing your level of self nurturing. Beginning the morning of Tuesday the 8th, pleasure-loving Venus enters emotionally supportive Cancer for the next month. Make room for self-care, romance, and gentleness in your life. Since Cancer rules food, the restaurants will see an increase in business.
Prepare to pick up the pace beginning Friday the 11th when a flurry of planetary activations pushes you to the brink. The desire for freedom increases now, so open your mind to innovative ways to pay your bills without being a slave to the material world. Your responsibilities do not lighten, but the way you think about them will.
Avoid forcing square pegs into round holes early morning on Mother’s Day. For social outings, planetary energies are enthusiastic and cooperative around the lunch hour.
The New Moon in Taurus is exact at the lunch hour on Wednesday the 16th. Big ideas and projects come into focus during the next week; however, adjustments need to be made if you have gone to excess in your plans.
The weekend following this new moon is characterized by the moon in Cancer. This energy supports spending time with those who are near and dear to your heart. Share ideas for future travel plans or discuss books that have influenced your lives.
The Sun enters Gemini on the 21st, picking up the pace for the next four weeks. Neptune is active on the 23/24th, so dream big. If you are willing to take a risk on manifesting your dreams (as in invest your time and money), you will see results by November. If you are just talking and not doing, then your dreams will show themselves to be fanciful fantasies by Halloween.
The Memorial Day weekend holds the moon in peaceful Libra. Sunday is the most pleasant day of the holiday weekend, so plan social events on the 27th. The actual holiday on Monday the 28th continues to be pleasant, but with a more focused intent.
Finally, the Blue Moon (a second full moon in a month) ends the month on a high note. The fun characteristic about this full moon is that it occurs in “I want to go somewhere” Sagittarius. If you have been putting off your thrills in favor of mundane responsibilities, then the time is at hand to change your behavior. Get out of town during the next month, if only to see what is over the next hill.
June increases the need for passion, creativity, and adventure. Check back next month for details
