From May 6th to the 12th things that seemed so important yesterday seem completely unimportant now.
First impressions are correct if they are based on genuine perceptions. Separating the useful from the not-useful in our past helps plot the journey forward. The weather, friendships, and commitments seem unreliable. If we live by our word, we help others.
6th – Monday – Saturn Semi-square Pluto –
The trick is to do something significant without destroying important props for other people’s adventures. If it seems that there is more free-floating anxiety than the norm, it isn’t your imagination. Being centered is the only way to avoid contributing to the disruption of the moment. It feels like a revolution; only cool heads can prevent chaos.
7th – Tuesday – Sun Sextile Saturn, the New Moon is at 11:21 PM EDT on the 18th degree of Taurus –
Slow as molasses, we are in motion again, and productively so. Past experiences give guardrails without preventing us from charting a new course. Strange as it seems, the heart and mind can come together for a common cause; without a purpose to unite them, they continue on dual tracks.
8th – Wednesday – Seeing an opportunity and moving forward is exhilarating.
What a trap we fall into when we ask, “What’s in it for me?” The only way to really win is to serve others. The flood drowns us when we are weighed down by our possessions. What we freely give away comes back.
9th – Thursday – Mercury Semi-sextile Uranus, Mars Contra-parallel Neptune –
Someone or something is tapping us on the shoulder. Interruptions are a doorway to saving time, money, and energy. Starting a project seems a lot more fun than finishing what we put in motion. Rewards come by being inclusive. And yes, don’t sell the family farm a week before harvest.
10th – Friday – Mercury Contra-parallel Saturn, Mars Semi-square Uranus, Venus Semi-square Neptune –
Actions can be out of step with beliefs. This is not helpful. When we transgress, backing up and rectifying purifies our intentions. Powerful feelings and forceful ideals can take root in us and do great harm. But these same impressions can heal many injustices in the world. “Lord make me an instrument of your peace.”
11th – Saturday – We are trapped in a cage of our own habits.
But some of these habits have made us safe, kept us loving, and taught us the form that became the road to our essence. So how can we move beyond our self-created entrapment? We need to let go of the things that we maintain as habits after the essence is gone. It’s time to relinquish the form.
12th – Sunday – Sun Parallel Uranus –
We are given one last chance to see into our higher destiny. If we truly want a better life, it will unfold in front of us over the next week. All we need is to be determined to tread the path of truth. The pavement is uneven, and we can feel that we are lost in the funhouse; embracing the new and unfamiliar is ok because we can’t go back, only forward.
