May is highlighted by Mars in Libra turning direct, along with an elegant Grand Sextile pattern, which presents us with greater opportunities. A Grand Water trine from mid-May to mid-June brings integration and healing. Venus joins the cardinal Grand Cross in mid-month, transforming our relationship patterns. We are also still under the influence of the April 28 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus, bringing focus to the areas of personal resources and values.
A Grand Sextile pattern in earth and water signs occurs on May 9. This unique aspect pattern involves four planets, plus the Sun and Moon, all in 60 degree aspects with each other. The others are Pluto, Chiron, Saturn and Jupiter. The Sun and Moon shine light on our core energies, while Chiron brings a focus to healing on all levels. Pluto and Saturn provide structure, motivation and discipline, while Jupiter gives us new opportunities and an expanded perspective. The earth/water focus brings a very intuitive and nurturing essence to this pattern. This would be an excellent time for a healing retreat or visit to a sacred energy site. Pay attention to any dreams, feelings and thoughts that arise at this time and be sure to write them down in your journal.
