May, 2004
By Norma Jean Ream
Through the month of
May we will see some shifts of energies that give us a mixture of
improvement in some areas and challenges to forward motion in other
ways. To begin the energies of May, the Full Moon on May 4 is a Total
Lunar Eclipse, whose path crosses the turbulent war torn area of Iraq.
Connecting planetary lines highlight Washington, D.C. Therefore, expect
that continued bombings, and rebellion against US occupying forces will
be strong.
On the more
personal, one-on-one level of life, relationships in general may be
turbulent with petty personal issues turning into “life or death” issues
and challenging us to find ways to compromise and not push things to the
ultimate limits. The themes that capture us now will be personal goals
and desires with a strong interest in individual freedom. But before
long, our risk-taking and individually driven plans bring us to consider
the long term security that will be affected by rash actions in current
time. We may be taking another look at what we thought was a good idea
during the last weeks of April. As Mercury moves out of its retrograde
shadow mid-month, practical ideas will take over in our thinking and
planning. Things will begin to feel more solid and new seeds of
prosperity can begin to take hold.
Venus will turn
retrograde on May 17 and retrace its steps in Mercury’s sign Gemini.
Mercury moves into Taurus, Venus’ sign and they become allies. This is
called mutual reception, and they support each other’s needs. Together
they work very creatively. Venus goes direct again on June 29, but does
not leave Gemini until August 10. That gives us almost 12 weeks to apply
beautification ideas to our environments and revive contact with loved
ones, or reorganize financial goals. With Jupiter, the planet connected
to larger financial institution, going direct in motion on May 4, with
the Full Moon, economic stress can be relieved by creative new ideas for
financing and restructuring expenses. The two weeks until the New Moon
is a period for results to finally come into being. The fruit of a long
winter’s wait can produce some unexpected results in this time.
The New Moon on May
18 precipitates some transitional energy that may bring out serious
secrets that will start some interesting unraveling details to be
revealed at the government level. I have mentioned before the comparison
of astrological energies between our current administration and the
Nixon administration 30 years ago. It is very likely to become obvious
to all that our President has been covering up secrets that could be
very detrimental to his continuing employment. Mid-June is the time
period when truth will be revealed and accountability demanded. More on
this topic next month.
The best days for
taking action this month are May 4, 10, 18, 19, and 23. Days for caution
are May 25, 27, and 30. |
