May 2022
There is a lot going on with the Cosmic energies this month! I want to break it all down for you while also trying to keep it simple, yet informative + useful.
The theme feels like Slow down…be aware…and…GO!
Mercury is in retrograde began on May 10 and ends on June 3rd. Mercury retrogrades approximately three times a year. It’s wise not to measure this as a “bad” or “good” thing. Think of Mercury retrograde as a period of time where you need to be extra aware of what you are working on, conversations you are engaged in, contracts you are signing, relationships you are navigating, technological meltdowns, etc. It’s review time..a slowing down..a forced need to take a closer look. Be thorough and mindful. The things that need to break down will and for good reason. Accept where it may be caused by your own negligence or oversight. There is something that needs to be learned and refined. Take this time to be open to what shows up, and consider it an opportunity.
Jupiter moved into Aries on May 10th, leaving its home sign of Pisces. Jupiter will be in Aries for one year, until May 15, 2023. What you’ve been working on is taking shape, it’s moving forward, it’s ON! Take time to appreciate all that you have done to get yourself here, and be grateful for this forward momentum. Remember, you brought yourself to this moment. It may feel overwhelming as you feel time accelerating with more tasks and you may feel a bit more stress. Remember to ground your energy (I can teach you how to do this:) stay present, focused and grateful. As you experience your work, relationships, and projects begin to manifest and/or break apart, trust that it is all part of the divine plan and is needed for your personal growth. Regardless of the direction things are going, take notice of the lessons that are presenting. Look back to June 2010-June 2011 and Feb 1999 - Feb 2000, the last time Jupiter traveled through Aries, and review what was going on in your life during those periods. There may be a familiar theme.
Eclipse Season! They come in pairs, approximately two times a year - next time will be Oct 25 + Nov 7-8, 2022. A lot to talk about on this topic but as I mentioned I'm trying to keep it simple!! Simple terms, the energies are potent around eclipses. We had a (Solar) eclipse on April 30 - look back to see what was happening around that day. The (Lunar) eclipse is on Sunday, May 15, with the Full Moon in Scorpio = intense internal stirrings. We are in the middle of two ecliptic portals! You will already be feeling a theme breaking away or coming together - depending on where this is landing in your natal chart the intensity may vary. Eclipses usually bring in powerful and unexpected changes that highlight an ending, beginning or transition in an area of your life. This can feel uncomfortable and/or exciting but inevitably it will bring a change - invited or uninvited, your doing or not... Be gentle with yourself either way because as we know, with Jupiter in Aries, time is speeding up, things are manifesting in real time. It's important to resist negative judgment while you are integrating the changes. This is a dance between the unconscious and conscious realms..internal and external..psychological and material/physical..mind and body. Look back to April 2003-Dec 2004 and Sep 2012-Mar 2014 - look for a familiar theme.
Get out there and move your body in nature, slow down this week and take care of yourself, keep things simple and light, be open to what shows up, journal, create!!
