The Merry Month of May

May and June are the best months of this year. Not only is March Madness far behind us, all of the inner retrograde planets are out of the post-shadow period this month and back to full speed. Here’s some highlights followed by the details.

Mars left its post-shadow on May 2nd and Venus gets back to full speed on May 16th. That means that our energy & enjoyment are no longer feeling bogged down. Hoped for results that were delayed since the beginning of 2025 are finally achievable. To make it even better these two planets are within range of their trine all of May and into the first week of June. We’ll experience the joy of initiative. Taking action will bring harmonious results. Following our impulses leads to more pleasure, social cohesion and artistic creation / appreciation. If you’re looking to find commardarie while fighting the good fight, now’s the time.

The first Cazimi of May inspires our rebellious nature. When the Sun meets Uranus for the last time in Taurus, we’ll find clarity surrounding the changes we’ve endured over the last 7 years. Expect insights into practical issues that have been upended during Uranus’ trip through Taurus. If you want to plan a labor strike, throw a surprise party or think outside the box, plan it on May 17th. Then make it happen before July 7th when Uranus moves into Gemini. That’s the best day for thinking outside the box and inventing new ways of making yourself comfortable with change.

The second Cazimi of May brings the best communication of the year. Mercury rules Gemini, the best communication sign. We’ve got 2 weeks of Mercury moving fast through one of its home signs that will help us think and speak at amazing speeds. Mercury also rules Virgo but during those 2 weeks of September our energy will be more focused on analysing than on communicating. For those who want to renew their perspective, communicate with people with different ideas or satisfy their curiosity, use the New Moon in Gemini. One of the best lunations of the year, this New Moon has positive angles with Saturn, newly entered into Aries as well Neptune and Pluto.
