“Whilst he sits on the cushion of advantages,
he goes to sleep.
When he is pushed, tormented, defeated,
he has a chance to learn something."

“In the realm of chance and fate, where fortunes unfold,
A whisper of good luck, a story to be told.
A serendipitous encounter, a chance to excel,
A twist of the cosmic wheel, where dreams can reveal”

Jupiter bestows Final Gifts to Taurus and Earth Signs
A second act of favor before moving into Gemini
Jupiter wraps up its time in Taurus and bestows parting gifts to the Earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as well as Pisces and Cancer. This month Jupiter is in perhaps the best position to benefit us this year, as it is in the same sign as Venus most of the month. Refer to section of Days.
Jupiter Ingress to Gemini on May 25, 4:15PDT
Favors go to the Air signs
In the sign of Gemini Jupiter bestows its kindness on the Air signs of Gemini, Aquarius, and Libra, as well as Aries and Leo. (Sun, Ascendant, personal planets).For the remainder of us, Jupiter supports the area of this transit in the personal chart.
Jupiter, by nature, supports the need to grow and expand, when in the sign ruled by Mercury, in Gemini, it supports all aspects of communication. Here, Jupiter benefits Mercury’s topics of speaking, teaching, writing, media, travel, promotion, advertising, buying and selling.
Gemini also rules dexterity and the hands, and under Jupiter some may see improvements with hand related issues.
Jupiter takes on the attributes of Gemini, encouraging cheerfulness, conversation, inquisitiveness, perhaps with the tendency to talk too much. (Mercury ruled signs, Gemini and Virgo, usually have a difficult time keeping secrets). Even reticent people may become more conversational. Gemini loves to play, so this encourages balancing your tight schedules to make room for lightness and fun.

Days of Mention
For many April lived up to the T. S. Eliot quote from Wasteland.
"April is the cruelest month".
We made it through the intensity of a rough eclipse month, and Mercury retrograde. May presents opportunity with fewer astrological challenges.
May is a sweet spot in the year for many. Yes, this month, the world will continue to be chaotic and newsworthy, especially as Pluto stations, and when Uranus is conjunct the Sun mid month. There may be disruptions, at the very least, expect the unexpected. Our concerns and problems remain factors that demand attention.
Yet we have a month of exceptional astrological landscape, providing many days of pleasure, support and opportunity. The two benefics, Jupiter and Venus, are in the same sign most of the month, both in good condition, and at times running close to the personal planets.
May 4: The Moon in sextile to Jupiter and Pluto. This can be an optimistic day, with intense emotional experiences.
May 7: New Moon in Taurus. Uranus is close to the New Moon, however flanked by Venus and Jupiter, which should soften and bring welcome surprises. That being said, change may be a foot. The New Moon meets Saturn in sextile, to offer stability. Plan for pleasure offered by the exalted Moon with Venus in her home sign.
May 8: The Moon conjuncts Jupiter, is sextile Neptune, trines Pluto. A highly imaginative, creative, day.
May 12: Mothers Day. The Moon is in a favorable sextile to the Sun, Uranus, Jupiter. The Moon represents mother, and today resides in her own sign, the sign of the mother, Cancer. Enjoy the day. Uranus is conjunct the Sun, introduce something new to your traditions. Keep plans flexible, avoid extremes.
***May 17: The Virgo Moon trines the Venus, Uranus, Sun, Jupiter conjunction. This day can be a powerful day in the region it lands in your chart. Uranus is prominent and makes potent connections to supportive planets. "No risk no glory."
***May 18: Venus is conjunct Uranus, Sun conjuncts Jupiter. These are potent connections involving the benefics. The Moon Pluto trine invites a time of emotional healing.
***May 17 and 18: These are two powerhouse days of positive aspects. The benefits go to Earth Sun signs, Ascendants, particularly the last ten degrees or decan of the sign. The last third degrees of Cancer and Pisces get the subtle advantages. If your birthday is on either date, set intentions for your year. These are powerful days for setting intention, initiating, and serendipity. You are not exempt from opportunity if you are not one of the above signs; check the region of your chart for the blessings of this configuration.
For those who construct charts for events, these days have opportunity. A green light time.
May 19: Moon in Libra conjunct the South Node in Libra, with Mars opposing. Moon on the South Node is a day for inner work; not auspicious for taking action. With Mars stimulating and opposing the Moon South Node conjunction, irritation becomes amplified. Mars can disrupt the disposition of the Moon. Hypersensitivity is prevalent.
The South Node and Moon are energies representing the past. The best use of this day is to review past actions, (Mars), learn what you can from those experiences, and release.
May 23: Full Moon in Sagittarius. Venus and Jupiter are conjunct in Taurus. The Moon sextiles Pluto. The Sun, Venus and Jupiter trine Pluto. Energy and willpower are high this day; use them to your advantage.
May 24: The Moon in Sagittarius trine Mars in Aries, and Squares Saturn in Pisces. The Moon Mars trine in fire is compelled to take action, however, the Saturn square produces frustration and delays.
May 25: This afternoon we have the ingress of Jupiter into Gemini, joining Venus and the Sun, both trine to Pluto. This is a go for early air signs, as well as Aries and Leo.
Mars in Aries at the same degree of the recent April 8 Solar Eclipse will retrigger that eclipse energy. Look back, if this eclipse was memorable for you, expect to be reminded.
May 28: In AM PDT, The Moon in Aquarius is trine the Sun-
May 29: Mercury and Uranus are conjunct. The Moon is square to Uranus. Avoid sensitive topics today.
Until June,
