May Overview:
This month kicks off with Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in retrograde motion with three of the four Cardinal signs feeling the urge to reassess. Make sure to check out which houses in your chart are impacted by Aries, Libra, and Capricorn. There’s no other way to describe this month other than exciting. You could find yourself pushing through barriers, crashing through boundaries, and kicking through the doors of your own status quo. The Full Moon on May 10th will have you letting go in order to transform, while the New Moon on May 25th will have you speaking new languages. All in all, this is probably the most exciting month of the year to date, because with Mercury direct, things are much clearer now. The overarching theme for this month is to trust your instincts. Be wise. Stay calm. Find you.
Please see the end of the month for information about the Moon Void of Course (VoC).

The Moon and the Sun form a harsh angle today, because there’s a strong possibility that you’ll have to make a choice. The choice is between staying the same, or making a change.

Monday, May 29

Wednesday, May 31

The Moon Void of Course (VoC) is the time period from when the Moon makes its last aspect in one sign before moving into the next sign. The Moon is the fastest-moving planet, and transitions from one sign into the next every 1-3 days. What that means is that the Moon is constantly in motion, it’s never retrograde, so it’s inevitable that she will connect with “something,” i.e. another planet or transit, until the moment that she doesn’t. During the moments when she doesn’t connect, we call it the Moon Void of Course. When these events occur, the best thing to do is to meditate, sit still, and listen to your higher guidance. Sitting still does not mean to physically sit still, although it can be beneficial.
