May’s Cosmic Forecast: Big Shifts + Honest Illuminations
We begin May with a huge shift in the nodal axis of the Moon (5.5). For the past year, we were releasing our control issues, repressed depression, and stoic long suffering with the South Node in Capricorn and we were advised to embody self-nurture, self-care, human vulnerability, emotional health with the North Node in Cancer. With this new shift to South Node in Sagittarius, we are releasing rigid opinions, illusory certainty, and self-righteousness—and are advised to embody curiosity, open-mindedness, conversation, and the willingness to listen with the North Node in Gemini.
A Full Moon in Scorpio (5.7) will allow for an honest lunar illumination of our deepest desires/fears, but also a reflection of how powerful we really are in our transformations. With the North Node, Mercury, Sun and Moon all in Gemini this month, the cosmic energies highlight all forms of exchange of information, a deep need to communicate with others, an application of our own logic, reason and endless curiosity, and how our mind functions to create the ideas.
We also kick-off three major retrogrades this month, each asking us to slow down and truly process whatever is coming up. With Saturn RX in Capricorn and Aquarius (5.11), we are asked to truly process how we are showing up for our dreams/goals—and where we aren’t showing up as well. Is the work we are doing in the end bettering the collective? With Venus RX in Gemini (5.13), we will want to socialize, banter and converse, but how are we truly connecting with others to create lasting relationships and deeper connections? With the Jupiter RX in Capricorn (5.14), we are asked to have faith and invest spiritual growth in our integrity, hard work and self-mastery. Our rewards lie in our hands to receive if we put in the effort and energy to see it through.
Sending love and protection!
