We are entering May the fifth month of the year and Mercury is direct again. Several missing pieces of information came together for me during the Mercury retrograde cycle. I began tracking projects I’m working on and their progress. Getting more work done in less time. So interesting how that works. Also, I’m writing down all my ideas so I don’t forget any of them. Seems like they are coming in flashes these days. Now for the Astrology Forecast May 2024.

Mercury leaves its shadow phase of the retrograde on May 13th and ingresses into Taurus a few days later on May 17th. Also, we are half way through Spring. Time sure seems to be speeding up. Venus and Jupiter at the end of the month enter the sign of Gemini.

Pluto Stations Retrograde

May begins with Pluto stationing retrograde on the 2nd. Pluto has been slowing down and preparing for the retrograde since about April 22nd. When an outer planet stations retrograde we can feel or sense the energy change for a week to 10 days before and after the actual retrograde station.

I like to use the example of a Large Cruise Ship changing directions for outer planet stations. First, it takes a long time to stop or change directions. Secondly, if the ship is in gear to move forward and you want to stop or change direction as fast as you can. The water around the ship becomes rough and stirred up. Thirdly, it takes time. I’ve heard it can take a few miles for a large ship to stop in the water. So, I recommend having patience over the first two weeks of May as it may take a little more time to accomplish your goals or tasks.

There will be five planets at 29 degrees this month. An astrological term for 29 degrees is the “Anaretic Degree” or “Degree of Fate”. At this degree the planets act a bit out of character. Coming to a peak at 29 degrees and moving into the next sign. There can be some urgency to complete or bring to conclusion as you prepare for the new.

Mercury leaves the shadow phase of the retrograde on May 13th and ingresses into Taurus a few days later on May 17th. Also, we are half way through Spring. Time sure seems to be speeding up. Pluto slows down and stations retrograde for the next 5 months. Venus and Jupiter at the end of the month enter Gemini.

Planets Ingress into New Territory

This month Mercury, Sun, Venus, and Jupiter ingress into new energy or signs. Three of these planets are moving into Gemini. Shifting the energy from fire to Air. Bringing in more communications, writing, learning, and short distant travel. Have pen and paper ready or a recording app on your phone to make a note of your thoughts and ideas.

We have had a very focused energy with most of the planets in three signs, Pisces, Aries, and Taurus. The exception is Pluto in Aquarius. The focused energy has been helpful in focusing on projects that require detail. Now the energy is spreading out a bit to include Gemini, including five signs by the end of the month.

• Mercury ingress to Taurus 5/15 – moving from fiery Aries to earthly Taurus. Slower more grounded communication.
• Sun ingress to Gemini 5/2 – from Taurus to Airy Gemini. Communication, writing, journaling, ideas.
• Venus ingress to Gemini 5/23 – from one of Venus’s home signs to Gemini. Getting out in the neighborhood to explore new parks and trails.
• Jupiter Ingress to Gemini 5/25 – Jupiter will be in Gemini for about a year. Starting a new phase. Expanding our thoughts and ideas. This energy could be very helpful for writing and writers.

Astrology Forecast May 2024

Looking at the Astrology Chart of May 1st, the Moon is in Aquarius. I use the moon’s energy as we enter a new month as the flavor of the month so to speak. What comes to mind is that the energy or flavor brings breakthroughs, flashes of new and out of the box ideas, and innovative. I am writing down all the ideas that are coming to me these days. It seems they are coming in quick and leave just as fast.
