May 2010
Mercury turns direct on May 11at 2º41’ Taurus. This degree is symbolized in the Sabian Symbols by “Natural steps lead to a lawn of clover in bloom”. During the past three weeks we have had to reevaluate our material values. As we re-organized and simplified our daily lives, we became also more efficient and are likely to have found unexpected resources and exciting new forms of abundance. Saturn is retrograde till May 29between 28º34’ and 27º50’ Virgo. These two degrees are represented by “A seeker after occult knowledge is reading an ancient scroll which illumines his mind.” And “A baldheaded man who has seized power”. This retrogradation is about finding true power. Not the appearance of it that is based on manipulation, fear and lies, but real wisdom coming from the depths of our soul and the knowledge of the past transmitted through sacred manuscripts. Neptune turns retrograde on May 31at 28º42’ Aquarius and will remain so until November 9, 2011, when it will have reached 28º08’ Aquarius. This degree is symbolized by “A butterfly emerging from its chrysalis”. We are truly manifesting our real spiritual essence as “divine beings having a human experience”. As we become human dolphins, as we understand truly from the inside the oneness of all and the sacredness of our lives, the freer and happier we become. By November 2011 most of us will have reached the enlightenment that will fulfill the Mayan, Hopi and Inka prophecies of the emergence of a new world. Pluto continues to be retrograde this whole monthbetween 5º16’ and 4º44’ Capricorn. The images associated with these two degrees are respectively: "Ten logs lie under an archway leading to darker woods." and "Indians on the warpath. While some men row a well-filled canoe, others in it perform a war dance." The road to freedom and enlightenment forces us to wage inner and outer wars with forces that would keep us ignorant or distort the truth. It is very important to remain cautious, and stand in our power. It is our purity of heart that enables us to see with clarity and discern what is from what is not. There is a very distinct separation occurring between those choosing in their free will war, decease, anger, lies and manipulation and those wanting love, peace, oneness and harmony.
