Happy May! Happy full moon! Happy calendar Beltane! Happy all planets direct! If there are any other positive things happening now, they probably got lost in the shuffle, and the point of this is simply to highlight that this exact moment is the best time to move ahead and start new projects. There are also six planets in Aries right now, underscoring the pioneering vibe.

On top of the Aries activity, Uranus recently moved into Gemini, joining Venus there, and in the natural zodiac, both of these are interacting well with the strong Aries activity. Remember basic science, air (Gemini, Aquarius) feeds fire (Aries). The Aquarius energy is strong right now, too, as Pluto is in it, and connecting well with the Aries and Gemini placements.

When we connect the dots, we see that through brainstorming, technology, and personal connections, we can formulate a plan going forward. Once this prep work is done, it is time to take action. In the northern hemisphere it is spring, and the perfect time to plant seeds for the upcoming zodiacal year. If you’re in the southern hemisphere, it is autumn, which is the perfect time to release the old to make way for cleansing and rejuvenation. Either way, this full moon is all about preparation and person-to-person connections.

There is a caveat, though, which is that most of the Aries activity is forming a challenging interaction with Jupiter in Cancer. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, prosperity, and learning. Cancer is the sign of the home, immediate family, traditions, religion, and close loved ones. So, while you may want to move ahead and forge new paths, you may ruffle the feathers of those closest to you. Additionally, those ruffled feathers may block future opportunities that would have otherwise been available to you. Traditional structures and institutions may also be problematic to navigate, and you may feel like they are working against you, when in reality, they are just out of date or need refinement.

Another big focal point right now is internal healing, specifically focusing on humility, embracing new perspectives, and admitting when you are wrong or need to make changes. Working with these thoughts may take you deeper into learning who you are on a deeper level. Your intuition may be your guide while you learn new parts of yourself, and it can create the epiphany moments conducive to growth. While technology may be a wonderful tool, it can also be a temptation that needsto be handled delicately.

This is a shorter-than-normal blog, and really, this is because of the direct and forward nature of the energy at this moment. I could further break down the situation into greater details, but these would be too subjective, and I would run the risk of leaving out too many things others may prioritize. So, get to it! What are you going to create this year? What do you need to do, to make this happen? Who do you need to talk to, and if not now, when? If not here, where? And if not you, who?

Namaste,
