What on Earth is going on? May astrology...


Have you noticed that things seem to be moving ahead slowly, even though there is a lot of energy, activity and intensity this year?  There are some amazing planetary shifts going on--as you have already heard--and there are also many interpretations of why and what it all means.

That's actually why I like astrology, because I find it more "scientific" and "objective" than channeled readings.  I do also read and value channeled readings but I believe they are subject to more distortion..and they are as clear as the channel herself (or himself).  With astrology--even for skeptics or people who don't understand it, when you start tracking events and energies from an astrological point of view, you start to see how accurate it can be.   I am talking well beyond the simple sun sign horoscopes you can read in a newspaper (does anyone even read newspapers any more?). 

There are powerful energies available in May--I don't want you to miss out!  This month, more than usual, "Timing is Everything".  So I've decided to post a 3 part series about these energies, to help you use this time well. 

Part i: Here's a good astrological overview from Susan Miller, author of the popular astrology site, AstrologyZone.com.  

First, from the Libra May astrology by Susan Miller..but I’m only including what applies to everyone:

“This has been an unusual year for everyone, so if you feel frustrated at the slow pace, you are not alone. It started out with Mars retrograde, January 23 to April 13. Thank goodness Mars has been moving again since mid-April (albeit slowly), as Mars is the action planet that gives extra oomph and push to everything we do. When Mars sleeps, you find it very hard to lift things off properly, in any phase of life, whether business or personal in nature.

Now, Venus will start to retrograde, May 15 to June 27, and that will have an even more powerful effect, (for Taurus and Libra) because Venus is your ruling planet.

There is more news about retrogrades, so I might as well tell you about the next one now. After June 27, you will only have two weeks, and then from July 14 to August 8, Mercury will retrograde. We are all upset about this, and believe me I didn't want to tell you, but I thought I should.

 I cannot remember a year anything like this one. It seems the universe wants us to go slowly and carefully.
If you look closely at these dates (which I carefully flag on all my Year Ahead Calendars that I write annually), the universe will give us little patches of time in which to act decisively. Those patches of time will be excellent for initiating new ventures, and we are in one of those now. (That window of opportunity opened April 13 and will end May 15.)

It is rare that the universe speaks so clearly: Go slowly to make sure all your plans are well thought out. 

Retrograde planets ask us to look back to scrutinize areas that we can improve. It looks like you'll be thinking back about things that have not taken the course you wanted, and about how you would do things differently in the future.

As said, Venus won't retrograde until May 15, so as you begin May, plan on being sharp and productive because - and this may surprise you - you have just arrived at one of the very sweetest portions of the year. Although it will be a narrow window of time, May 1 to May 13, it will be one of your best. Every zodiac sign will have something to celebrate then, and for you (if you’re a Libra)  your good news will center on money.

Enjoy your month..stay tuned for more!  And don't miss the super full moon on May 5th or the amazing events ar around May 20th! 

Many blessings,
Ellen
