Mayday! It’s Eclipse Season.

Mayday, mayday! It’s Eclipse Season!

The fifth month of this year is among the most Astrologically significant.

Up first, Mercury enters curious, intelligence-seeking Gemini on Monday May 3rd until July 11th. That’s a typically long time because Mercury will retrograde in Gemini on May 29th until June 22nd. The vast majority of May, Mercury will operate in its pre-retrograde shadow period, and possibly highlight where we’ll want to focus our efforts during its retrograde. Remember to think, respond, and choose behavior from a place of impulse control, non-reactivity, questioning, and curiosity in uncertainty.

The annual New Moon Taurus takes earthly ruled ideas to the stars on May 11th and asks for our intentions on safety, security, values, pleasure and financial matters. Given the world’s initiation into prolonged uncertainty and anticipatory grief throughout racial and social injustices, a global pandemic, and political upheavals, the notion of “security” on the internal and external level has never been more important. Let the New Moon in Taurus on May 11th know exactly what you define as “safety,” so you can ground down in security.

On May 13th, big Jupiter enters Pisces until July 30th. With Jupiter in Pisces for a typically short time like this, we’ll want to focus our efforts towards an energy of completion, healing, and all the spiritual support systems we have available to us. From meditation, studying universal spiritual themes, and more, Jupiter in Pisces inspires us to lean on the path of the heart for completion on low-level thinking, behavior, and even relationships which hold us back from accessing our highest-and-brightest selves.

Gemini Season begins on May 20th with a rush of quicksilver energy, which moves us to more open-hearted dialogue, thoughtful questions, and active-listening in order to understand and “see” the people in our lives. This mutable-air sign introduces the concept of “humanity” in Astrology. They appear in connection and in relationship, which is not an accident but a metaphor: an invitation for how we can use our dialogue skills to deepen our relationships.

On May 26th, we have our Eclipse of the year, this one being a Lunar Eclipse Sagittarius. As the doors to the world and wisdom begin opening, this Eclipse wants your willingness for a new vision that holds the learning of the last year and can transform the qualities of your life that need hope, faith, and courage in risk, uncertainty, and emotional exposure. And if Sagittarius teaches us anything, it’s that the final frontier of true freedom is the ability to choose the way you want to see the world. The way you want to see others. What mindset strategies can help you on the way to becoming the person you want to be?
