MAY
2004 by Bob Mulligan
The
two benefics, Venus and Jupiter, are both in Mercury-ruled
signs all month. Jupiter, who has been retrograde
since January 3rd, is finally turning direct on May
4th. When Jupiter turns direct, we usually see some
further outward manifestation of big projects. We
make advancement in advertising, publishing, and dealings
with foreign countries. Venus retrograde is so important
that I've sent out another newsletter on this single
subject. Mercury gathers speed all month. We are in
a cycle where it is important to monitor the way we
translate thoughts into actions; Mercury is in Aries
and Mars is in Gemini. The first week of May is critical
for bringing us to a higher understanding of the way
we create our lives. If our meditations are crafted
carefully at this time we are able to see clearly
to the heart of our own motives. This can be an enlightening
time. We are blessed with a very powerful eclipse
at the time of the Full Moon. This is the Wesik Festival,
when the Buddha returns and recharges the earth. If
you are only going to meditate once this year, why
not make it around this Full Moon on the 4th at 4:34PM
EDT? At this moment, our spiritual efforts are intensified
exponentially.
1st
- Saturday - Mercury Semi-square Uranus, Jupiter Sextile
Saturn - Achieving a proper balance of public and
private life may be achievable now. We feel a strong
pull toward new ideas while we fight to convince others
of our way to do things. Be prompt and your life will
unfold positively.
2nd
- Sunday - Venus Opposite Pluto - This is a confusing
day as we struggle for wholeness. Quick victories
seem at odds with long-term goals.
3rd
- Monday - Optimism seems to color the day. We try
some new things and we are blessed with opportunities
to take a new approach to handling our important relationships.
4th
- Tuesday - Mercury Trines Pluto as we head into the
most mentally stimulating Full Moon Eclipse at 4:34PM,
we then have Jupiter turning direct -This is a most
intense total eclipse in the fixed signs of Taurus
and Scorpio. Focus on world peace and personal inner
stability. We will see immediate, tangible, and very
positive results from this day. Your efforts will
be rewarded.
5th
- Wednesday - Sun Square Neptune -Staying focused
on the "here and now" is really important but the
call of far away places and the needs of the collective
seem to be so much more important than our personal
life.
6th
- Thursday - It's easy to ask more from life now.
Be aware that what you ask for can create some problems
later on. Moderation is a sane approach.
7th - Friday - Mars enters Cancer then makes a hard
aspect to Neptune - This is one of those defining
moments. We can go forward or we can be stuck. Moving
forward requires coming to terms with our emotional
needs of the past. This is really hard to accomplish
because our own personal effort is not sufficient
to bring us to a new understanding. It is easy to
get lost in our moods. Keep your thinking cap on and
be willing to ask for help.
8th
- Saturday - Mercury Sesquiquadrate Jupiter -Keeping
our focus on clearly perceived, practical goals and
solutions allows us to win big at the "game of life."
Common sense and honest effort bring us a sudden jolt
of inspiration. We struggle to see which details really
matter. Applying our energy toward practical concerns
takes work but is worth the trouble.
9th
- Sunday - Communicate important information now.
We may be in a hurry but there are real obstacles
to progress. Let the nervous energy dissipate and
keep your eye on practical results.
10th
- Monday - Mercury Sextile Venus - Slowing down and
applying our attention to the little things around
the home that need attention can bring a sense of
satisfaction now.
11th
- Tuesday - Help is available to get those stalled
projects moving again.
12th
- Wednesday - Put your best foot forward and keep
your energy focused on your genuine responsibilities.
We are easily led astray by other people's enthusiasm.
13th
- Thursday - Emotional turmoil can get take us away
from the most important task at hand. Be willing to
make some sacrifices.
14th
- Friday - Complete the things you already have in
motion. Don't worry about anything that you don't
have control over.
15th
- Saturday - Sun Semi-Square Saturn - We may feel
that we have to do everything by ourselves today.
It's okay. Patience pays big dividends now.
16th
-Sunday - Mercury enters Taurus - Today offers unique
circumstances to put current projects into some systematic
order.
17th
Monday - Neptune turns retrograde, Mars Trines Uranus,
and then Venus turns retrograde - We have reached
a turning point in our thinking. Now is the time to
get on with some difficult emotional choices.
18th
- Tuesday - Mercury parallel Jupiter - It's a great
time to go forward with your existing projects. We
can arrive at an inner joy by doing simple things.
We seem to receive invisible help.
19th
- Wednesday - New Moon at 12:53 AM EDT, at 28 Taurus,
Mercury Contra-parallel Uranus - It's a brand new
day. Dreams emerge and we can see some things coming
that aren't here yet.
20th
- Thursday - Sun enters Gemini - We are ready for
a new direction. We forge new mental links while still
having to handle the immediate work that has piled
up around us from the past.
21st
- Friday - Mercury Sesquiquadrate Pluto, Mercury Sextile
Uranus, Mars Sextile Jupiter - We are inspired to
take some steps forward in a new direction today.
We feel competitive and this can bring out our best
effort.
22nd
- Saturday - Focus on home, family, and the familiar.
Steady even-handed attention to immediate circumstances
can bring a quiet joy.
23rd
- Sunday - Mercury Trine Jupiter - Practical steps
taken today allow for rapid completion of complicated
processes.
24th
- Monday - We may easily be disturbed by other people's
disconnected interventions into our lives. If we stay
calm we can help take tension out of stressful situations.
25th
- Tuesday - Mars Conjunct Saturn, Mercury Sextile
Saturn then Mars - It is easy to feel depressed as
we meet obstacles and emotional resistance to moving
forward in life. Dealing effectively with all the
circumstances now can mean making detailed plans and
being patient. We can create new circumstances for
ourselves if we are willing to put forward realistic
effort.
26th
- Wednesday - We are easily led to imagining quite
a different situation than the one we find ourselves
in. Be willing to dream.
27th
- Thursday - Sun Square Uranus, Mercury Square Neptune
- Everyone seems to want to march to their own drummer
today. Be as peaceful as possible and watch for opportunities
to take some calculated risks.
28th
- Friday - Mercury Parallel Pluto -We have overlooked
some important details in our lives. Really listening
to our close associates and being willing to act on
their insights can change our lives.
29th
- Saturday - Our spirits are lifted by new opportunities
today. We have a great opportunity to drink in new
and important information.
30th
- Sunday - Sun Square Jupiter - We come to a balance
point. Something we have been working on for a while
lifts us to new heights.
31st
- Monday - Mars Quincunx Neptune, Mercury Quincunx
Pluto - An aura of excitement and circumstances changing
around us gives a feeling of exhilaration. Today we
have an opportunity to change key functions in our
everyday lives and to clarify our values and beliefs
about ourselves and about the world.
