Taking the Next StepsAs May arrives, the fullness of Spring is in full swing. We often feel stirrings welling up inside us to grow forth as our inner momentum entrains with the procession of blossoming flowers. It's beautiful and sometimes unsettling, with a necessary, urging sort of insistent suchness. You can notice a natural inclination to make plans for the months ahead. May's positive planetary influences help you progress with your life ambitions. May 1st - 5th Mars Sextile Pluto The planetary arrangements in the first days of May can amplify your physical energy as Mars and Pluto are in a stimulating sextile aspect with each other in the sky from the 1st through the 5th. Sextile aspects between planets indicate a stimulation in you of the positive representative qualities of the planets involved. Mars moves with the parts of you that drive you into action and take care of business. Pluto’s influence on Mar’s motivating energy enhances your ambition and ensures you move towards what you want. As Pluto’s influence aligns with your deep depths, this transit on the 1st—5th urges you to take bolder steps toward your overarching life intentions and goals. These are good days to feel your inner drive and take active steps toward success. Mars and Pluto Sextile can also allow you to more easily offer up what you need to let go of so you can bring in new ways of building success in your life. Pluto can bring to the surface buried, unconscious patterns that may have kept you stuck in old ways of approaching things. This awareness of noticing what may be holding you back can be enough to urge you to shift these patterns into new and healthy ones, energizing you into action. The 1st - 5th are helpful days to recognize new patterns of taking action emerging from you and, in the process, allow yourself to let go of old habitual ways of activating your forward momentum. May 5th - 8th Mercury Conjunct Chiron Sun Sextile Saturn In one of my blogs for April, I discussed Mercury and Chiron joining together (in conjunction). This union signifies an opening for opportunities to have healing conversations with yourself and others. Mercury connects to your mental process and communications and has been in and out of retrograde recently. Through its retrograde motion from going forward to backward to forward again, Mercury is now joining up with Chiron, the wounded healer in you, for a third time in its post-retrograde forward motion. To hone in on what shifts may be happening for you, reflect on what your overarching mental processes and conversations have been revolving around in the last two months. To get more specific on dates, the first two waves of this recent Mercury/Chiron aspect occurred on March 20th and April 15th. If you journal or have photos or other material to reflect on what was happening for you on and around these dates, you may see similar themes at play May 5th - 8th. This third wave of the Mercury Chiron conjunction gives you another opportunity to say the things you haven’t been able to fully speak to in March and April, which will allow you to heal something inside of you regarding how you communicate or think about certain things. Take some time out on the 5th - 8th and see what is asking for healing shifts in you. What ways of thinking are keeping you in woundology? How can you reframe your thoughts to healthy thinking about your life and situations to allow you to move out of woundedness and into wholeness with yourself? The wholeness we feel is the healing we experience in the process of coming back to ourselves. We can share our integrated experience and foster shifts and healing for others through these internal processes of returning to our wholeness. The Wounded Healer, Chiron, in action! The Sun will also be in a Sextile with Saturn during these same days, highlighting a quality of feeling sincere and realistic about creating healing conversations - even the ones you have with yourself. Things that can shift under Saturn's transits are fundamental, palpable changes. You can see the actual manifestation of your dedication to making changes to better places within yourself. May 12th - 14th Venus Sextile Saturn May 12th through the 14th can emphasize the practical aspects of your close relationships and partnerships. The sextile aspect between Venus and Saturn can stimulate you to get real about your relationships’ structure and inner workings. These are good days to examine what is and isn’t working and create new agreements and ways of doing things with each other. Are you are in a problematic relationship or a challenging patch? This Venus/Saturn transit can align with the energy in you that supports your ability to recognize what structure you need to create in your life around relationships. This planetary duo can activate your inner knowing in such a way that you can get honest with yourself and take appropriate action. If you’re noticing a need to transform or break off a relationship, the 12th - 14th may be days to tune in and notice what your inner Saturn authority is guiding you toward. This is a valuable time to get grounded about what is happening in your relationships. ~ With astrology, the most helpful advice is always individual and personalized based on your astrology birth chart and life situations.
