The month of May begins with many new chapters and beginnings. 2020 has been riddled with unpleasant surprises and we are all still adjusting to how these changes will impact our future or what the future has to offer to us. The changes in the Nodes from the Cancer and Capricorn axis to Gemini and Sagittarius shows that we will now be concentrating on new themes that will make us more cautions in the long run (depending on where they fall in your chart). Mars is changing from innovative Aquarius to dreamy Pisces, slowing down that Martian fire and making us second guess ourselves when we want to take action. May 13th brings us the Venus Retrograde, so if you have witnessed a lot of changes in the dynamics of relationships, it will be magnified during this period in time until Venus goes direct. Jupiter will also go retrograde on the 14th, bringing back focus to the areas in life we need to learn from and bring adjustments for much more positive changes. This is a month of navigating, adjusting and focusing on stabilizing for the upcoming months. Things have felt like they were slowing down, but Aries Season brought some movement into our lives and Taurus Season will bring planning and action that will hopefully bring about much needed stability. Foundations are built now that will help the collective in the future. Saturn in fixed Aquarius has shown us a glimpse of what we will be expecting in 2021. The year is not over, and we have a lot of tests to overcome but this Season will ignite our passions and excitement. It will let us get centered and focused. For some, there can be a beginning of love and romance. We gain a new appreciation for the good energy and people that surround us such as, family, and friends. People that will continue to bring harmony into our lives even when the world continues to spiral in new directions.
Aries –The passion you felt during your season will begin to dwindle as your ruler, Mars enters the sign of Pisces on the 13th. This will be a resting period for you, as you feel your energy levels drop momentarily and you will take on a more passive approach to decision making. Your season brought the intensity that we all expected. There were highs and lows, but the lessons learned were that there could be changes and hope for us to come in the future. With the shift to Taurus Season, you will focus on bringing stability into your life and become hyper aware of your spending habits. Financial planning now will be of great service to you especially after the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 7th fueling that momentum to get things resolved, managed and finalized. Saturn will be going Retrograde, making late decan folks ready to go back and revisit some paths that were blocking them in the last several months. You have learned some lessons; you have built your armor and now you’re ready to face some of those Saturn in Capricorn villains that you could not handle the first run around. The Jupiter Retrograde on the 14th makes you long for something more and provides some more reflection. This is a period of introspection for you, as you come to terms with ego and structures, main themes you have focused on for the last 12 years with Pluto also in that sign of Capricorn. It is fitting that the Hierophant is your card for the month, making you tap into more of the philosophical themes revolving power and control. You have been put to the test in the last three years, defining your place in the world and now you are ready to use what you have learned to teach others.
Taurus – We have finally made it to your very anticipated season and your fixed energy will allow for all of us to bring some much-needed stability into our lives. The world is changing and although it might bring you a sense of anxiety, you have felt the shift with Uranus currently in your sign since 2018. Uranus has settled in your sign and we have felt the friction and uncertainty this year. Nevertheless, you still want to go strong. The Nodes of destiny are going to move also, bringing that focus to your comfort and possessions for the years to come. The Full Moon in Scorpio on the 7th keeps things exciting in your personal relationships, as you contemplate strengthening or releasing those in your life. There could be big business moves or new partnerships blossoming that will help you get ahead. Another big shift this month is Saturn going retrograde, which is a big relief for fellow fixed signs since it will move away from Aquarius and find its path back into the sign of Capricorn. Do not worry, Saturn in Aquarius will return later in the year and it will settle there for the next three years, so do not start your victory chant yet. With Mercury in Gemini on the same week of the 11th, your focus will be on Taurean related things that relate to your comfort and personal needs. If you feel tired or stress, take a breather since no one will be judging you. After all, it is your month to shine and relax. Your card for the month is the Two of Swords.

This Retrograde has redefined what it means to date, to connect and experience the power of technology. Mercury will be in your sign on the 11th, making you feel in your element. You have control of your words, power and this will be reflected in the way you carry yourself.
