May 2020 Astrolights

We begin the month with the Moon’s nodes moving from Cancer and Capricorn into Gemini and Sagittarius. This means that the influence of karmic change moves the active energy from Moon and Saturn to Mercury and Jupiter. In English, the main focus of karmic rebalancing will be in communication and all things represented by Mercury and in the expansive qualities of Jupiter including cultural, educational and philosophical venues. These changes will stay in place until December of 2022.

During these times Mercury will change signs often providing the usual cycle of communicative changes and retrograde debacles (the full cycle is 88 days). However, Jupiter will move into Aquarius from Capricorn in December 2020 and seesaw back and forth between both during the following thirteen months. The Capricorn influences, now until December, will involve changes in all positions of authority, organization and structure including government which we have definitely been seeing as a result of the Covid-19 epidemic. The Aquarius influences, beginning in December 2020, will involve education, culture, philosophy and all matters humanitarian and scientific. We have seen the tip of the iceberg of these influences in the explosion of scientific research as the result of our pandemic predicament. The change in of the Moon’s nodes is showing through the total confusion in who the authority will be in terms of what this whole epidemic brings for the changes impending over our customary way of living. Although most of the media is stuffing us with doctors, experts and authority related to these issues, almost no one seems to know where these changes will take us. To the laymen, it appears like everyone is talking through their hat. The media seems to be aching for governmental control over all the major industries which have made us so great and independent throughout the world. One thing is true; the way we’ve been living is gone and a new, more paranoid way of existing is looming on the horizon. Everyone still appears to be holding their breath waiting for the other shoe to fall.

The 11th, 13th and 14th are pivotal points. Respectively, Mercury moves into Gemini on the same day that Saturn turns retrograde going back over old ground to see if the structure we erected can handle the deluge. Then, on the 13th Mars moves into Pisces and Venus goes retrograde in Gemini. The fear triggers will become a lot more active. Then, on the 14th Jupiter turns retrograde in Capricorn. The media has already given us a taste of how easily they can manipulate public opinion. Just watching White House press briefing has given us a taste of their objectives and where they’re headed.

The best thing we can do right now is lay low, keep our heads down and wait for some of the smoke to clear before we begin to move. When we do move, move slowly, be observant and keep your wits about you. These are interesting times.
