The end of May has delivered 3 major planetary shifts: Saturn has completed a four and half month retrograde cycle (May 30), Neptune has begun a five month retrograde (May 31), and Uranus has made its first foray into Aries (May 27). The directional changes of Saturn and Neptune should help us to find the keys that will lead to more productive moving ahead, especially so once we get past the Mars/Neptune opposition on June 4

From the 1st to the 6th communication is the key that unlocks every door. Our ideals are running our lives but we are preparing for a great and fundamental alteration of orientation in life. Discard everything that you don’t need.

From the 7th to the 13th we are riding a wave of excitement and a belief that life can be better. We struggle to see beyond the ordinary aspects of life. A new world is unfolding.

From the 14th to the 20th relationships tend to dominate our thinking now. Pay special attention to the new and unfolding pattern of interactions. On the other hand, don’t relinquish existing relationships; they are important and can be explored and expanded on now.

From the 21st to the 27th our thinking is dominated by the extraordinary. Everyday life is interrupted by so many turns of events. The urge for freedom is strong and we look to add something new to our lives. Beneath all the chaos is real opportunity. If you are able to grasp it you will be truly lucky.

From the 28th to the 30th peace and beauty are discovered in a higher realm. Follow your love but keep your feet on the ground. If you have secured your place in the world, venturing out into a bigger arena is appropriate.

1st – Tuesday – Mercury Parallel Mars – Thoughts move at the speed of light and actions can be just as swift. Mistakes can be hard to rectify so look carefully before setting plans into motion.
2nd – Wednesday – Mars Semi-sextile Saturn – Make small gains and keep looking to the future for practical results. A steady controlled approach gives practical returns for the effort.
3rd – Thursday – Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pluto – We are closing the gap on some important, yet missing, pieces of information. Conversations can be frank and very helpful. Stay focused on fundamental issues.
4th – Friday – Mars Opposite Neptune – Ideals and emotions are amplified. Are we chasing an illusion or are we promoting our true values? Swift progress is possible as everyone moves in the same direction after differences are settled. Be spontaneous.
5th – Saturday – Everyone seems in the mood to share something important. This is a great problem solving day. There is excitement in the air as a powerful urge to innovate captures the moment.
6th - Sunday – Jupiter enters Aries – We are moving forward on any project we focus on. We are saying goodbye to the past and a new day is opening to us. Big concepts will not automatically translate into practical application, but we are off in a new direction.
7th – Monday – Mars enters Virgo, Mars Quincunx Jupiter, Mars Quincunx Uranus – Translating inspiration and necessity into positive action can be frustrating. Hard work is required but don’t get lost in meaningless detail. Stay positive.
8th – Tuesday – Jupiter Conjunct Uranus, Mars Contra-parallel Neptune, Mercury Trine Saturn – With a little effort all the wonderful ideas that are floating around today will manifest into something solid. Discipline and common sense will help bring consensus out of diversity.
9th – Wednesday – Mercury Square Neptune, Mercury Contra-parallel Pluto – Big ideas can evaporate when they are not supported by the facts. It is a balancing act to be continually committed to things that don’t exist yet…However, if we never envisioned a better world, things would not improve. Be careful during all communications; others may not be clear and you may not be saying what is really on your mind.
10th – Thursday – Mercury enter Gemini, the Sun Parallel Venus, Mercury Sextile Uranus then Jupiter – Opportunity lies in so many directions that we are easily involved in several projects at once. Be careful you don’t end up “running in circles.” This can be fun and entertaining, just be willing to take interruptions as opportunities.
11th – Friday – Mercury Square Mars – Tempers can be on a “short fuse”; everyone is a little too sensitive to anything that sounds like criticism. Meditation can balance an erratic mind. Stay calm as not all news that arrives is what you wanted or expected.
12th – Saturday – The New Moon is at 6:16 AM EDT, Venus Sextile Saturn, Mercury Quincunx Pluto – Harmony, excitement, and social pleasures set the tone. It is difficult to see the joy in life if we are too task oriented. Relax and enjoy the day.
13th – Sunday – Venus Quincunx Neptune – Artistic expression and the joy of being with others is wonderful. However, all is not harmony. Don’t count on others to do what they promise…we all tend to over commit.
14th – Monday – Venus enters Leo, Venus Trines Uranus – Spirits lift and spontaneous excitement adds joy to all activities. New people and new circumstances brighten everyone’s mood. Love needs to be expressed.
15th – Tuesday – Venus Trine Jupiter, Mars Trine Pluto – We feel energized and lucky. It is a great time to celebrate. Acknowledge those who have helped you and apply your energy and attention to solving certain long term difficulties.
16th – Wednesday – Mercury Parallel Venus – It is amazing how a little extra effort to help others can return many times over during this time period. Today, a few kind words can make a difference in many people’s lives.
17th – Thursday – Venus Quincunx Pluto – Achieving balance is hard now. We do best to focus our energy on practical and immediate tasks. We are more effective if we are willing to do what is necessary without the sustaining help from others.
18th – Friday – More and more detail can be confusing. Be willing to take in new information but limit your options. Victory goes to those who can control their time usage. Indecision wastes time.
19th – Saturday – Sun Square Saturn, Jupiter Parallel Uranus, Sun Trine Neptune – Careful discipline and boundless enthusiasm makes this a very enjoyable time. Be faithful to your higher vision of the truth; live out your higher self and put fear behind you.
20th – Sunday – Venus Semi-sextile Mars – Love in action has the ability to change everything for the better. Be willing to share yourself with those people in your life who are always with you. Pay attention and don’t take anyone for granted.
21st – Monday – Sun enters Cancer, Sun Parallel Mercury, Sun Square Uranus – We see the big picture and our natural inclination now is to want more. Life is happening fast. Circumstances are changing rapidly; emotional turbulence of the moment can cloud our vision; we are happiest if we can focus on our long term goals.
22nd – Tuesday – We may be tempted to overindulge in something as a form of compensation for minor frustrations. Relax, don’t let bad habits destroy an otherwise pleasant day.
23rd – Wednesday – Mercury Semi-square Venus, Sun Square Jupiter – After some initial confusion we may be lucky enough to find a method to harness the enthusiasm that is being released all around us. People come and go; there is much conversation and planning.
24th – Thursday – Mercury Square Saturn, Mercury Trine Neptune – Not everyone likes what we have to say today…ordinary life can seem boring. Inspiration and excitement comes by looking beyond the obvious.
25th – Friday – Mercury enters Cancer, Mercury Squares Uranus, Sun Opposite Pluto, Venus Semi-square Saturn – Don’t dissipate your energy in fruitless anger. Rise above petty disagreements; be confident that a good end can come from positive effort even when circumstances seem hopeless at the moment.
26th – Saturday – Mercury Square Jupiter, the Full Moon at 6:31 AM EDT, Venus Contra-parallel Pluto – It is time to discard things that have lived beyond their usefulness. Meditation is always good at the time of the Full Moon, but now there is so much mental and emotional information that we need some way to integrate. Avoid finalizing plans until tomorrow if you can…the pressure of the moment can be distorting our vision.
27th – Sunday – Mercury Opposite Pluto, Venus Sesquiquadrate Uranus, Saturn Quincunx Neptune – New opportunities appear; certain options disappear. Stay positive and believe in yourself; it is easy to be discouraged now but better things are coming. Concentrate your energy where you can make a difference.
28th – Monday – Sun Conjunct Mercury – Home and security are topics of conversation. We need to know that basic items in life are taken care of, and then we want to turn our attention to more adventuresome pursuits.
29th – Tuesday – Venus Sesquiquadrate Jupiter – Love is in the air and we are inspired by all of the options for expression. Pay attention to the people who matter most in your life.
30th – Wednesday – Venus Sesquiquadrate Pluto – Our feelings can be strong, to the point of compulsive. There is balance coming over the next few days. As long as you are emotionally sensitive to other people’s needs you will find some fulfillment for your own desires.
