Insight From Stellar Influences

By Michele Avanti C.A.P.

(Times specified are Pacific Time)

When the MOON is VOID OF COURSE anything that you begin will not reach fulfillment. Use it to your advantage when you don't want someone to remember what you said! Here are the daylight hours this month when the moon is void of course:

May 4 from 12:07 p.m. to 1:51 p.m.; May 9 from 1:12 p.m. to 2:29 p.m.; May 11 after 9:12 p.m.; May 16 from 10:06 am to 10:45 am; May 18 from 1:35 p.m. to 2:06 p.m.; May 20 from 4:43 p.m. to 4:58 p.m.; May 22 from 7:33 p.m. to 7:50 p.m.; May 24 after 9:01 p.m. and May 29 from 9:40 am to 11:44 am; and May 31 after 8:41 p.m.

LUNAR   ACTION

Waning Periods: May 1-13 and May 28 -June 11 begin with the full moon. It's a time of completion. In candle magic, it is known as the time of banishing.

Waxing Periods: May 14-27 begin with the new moon. It's a time of new beginnings. In candle magic it known as the time of gathering.

NEW MOON: May 13, 6:04 p.m. in Taurus. This waxing period focuses on new pleasures, luxury items, sensual indulgences, possessions, values and income.

FULL MOON: May 27, 4:07 p.m. in Sagittarius. This waning period focuses on completing higher learning courses, travel, media relations, legal matters, Internet issues, long distance communication and publicity.

PLANETARY ACTIONS

Mercury Stations Direct; May 11 @ 3:27 p.m. This improves communications, contracts and clearer decisions, although there is still a time frame, which astrologers call Mercury's shadow and that period will extend for another two weeks, clearing around May 26th.

Saturn Stations Direct: May 30 @ 11:11 am. This is going to be one of the more difficult stationing we have witnessed in over 80 years. As Saturn stations, it will oppose both Uranus and Jupiter, while squaring Pluto. This configuration occurs in early cardinal signs with Uranus and Jupiter conjunct the fixed star Scheat, the Star of Drowning. This will most likely result in a volcanic eruption, earthquakes, and tsunamis, not to mention economic repercussions in the market. May 30th begins a tenuous time of natural, political and economic disasters.
