Saturn in Virgo, organizing our lives along new lines, is still supporting Pluto in Capricorn's mission to demolish the old cultural values of the patriarchy (within and without), sustained by Taurus' energy during the last full moon by the Sun, and by Venus at the new moon. For this full moon, the asteroid Pallas Athena, the virgin goddess of Wisdom and patron of arts, crafts and strategy, continues sustaining the work of Saturn and Pluto. Find new ways to fill the voids being created as things crumble out there. Have a balance between self preservation and helping others.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
We also have the chance to pull the sword from the stone – is the new king finally here? - and break through old karma if we use our Jupter-Uranos opportunities to understand what needs doing and who has the talent to do it. We have to stop craving instant gratification and thinking we're the center of the world. We have to put the World Soul,the anima mundi, at the Center.
Astrological Events:
Sunday, May 18th – Venus makes some interesting connections with Uranus and Jupiter before She participates in the Full Moon energies. Be curious about the unexpected. Get out of your expectations. Connect to people and ideas who share your values. Having a group is a blessing in these times of change.
Monday, May 19th, Blue Moon in Scorpio.
Sunday, May 25th , Chiron turns Retrograde at 22 Aquarius (catalyze social change; claim your fated path), until October 25th. Heal the wounds of the group; heal the future; heal your ideals.
Monday, May 26th, Mercury turns Retrograde at 22 Gemini (the joyful dance of life) – trining Chiron, making it easier to understand and articulate the wound and clean it up.
Monday, May 26th, Neptune turns Retrograde at 24 Aquarius (Justice enthroned within a beam of Moonlight!) - dream a new dream! Until November 2. Right before the elections.
Enjoy May while it lasts!
Blessings & Beauty,
Cathy Pagano
