Beltane Fire Festival 2008 – Beltane Bonfire
Originally uploaded by Two Truths
Overview: For most of the first two weeks of May, Mercury is still retrograde in Taurus (turns direct on 5/11) keeping the focus on the very stuff of our lives. Don’t make grand plans to move forward until later in May. We need time to integrate and synthesize the last week of April.
5/1…Happy May Day! The traditional holiday, Beltane, was celebrated with bonfires to purify and cleanse the spirit. Release any remaining dregs of any winter stagnation to fully launch into a productive growing season. Use this weekend to recharge after a full week and get reconnected to your passion.
5/2 Sunday brings a more serious and pensive energy to the forefront; use the focus to finish up a task you’ve been putting off.
5/3…Clarify goals and priorities. Enjoy building a strong foundation for your valuable ideas and projects to flourish.
5/4-5/5…Practicality and passion may at first glance appear to be irreconcilable. But an honest second look reveals how they balance one another in a dynamic dance.
5/6-5/7…Brings a more mellow and inspired tone to the air. Surrender to the experiences you are having and soften the edges where appropriate.
Mom’s Day…5/8-5/9…This mother’s day weekend enjoy a trip down memory lane, taking note of times when you have felt loved and cared for. See if any common themes emerge.
5/10-5/11..May find us both restless and exhausted at the tail end of Mercury retrograde. Communication and technology hiccups remind us to slow down, enjoy the spring, and have a good laugh.
5/12-5/13…New Moon in Taurus…Simplify for Abundance to Flow
This new moon brings up questions around stability, specifically in our relationships. Let go and release fears around security in order to explore your options. The decisions we are pressed to make highlight where we need to commit. By checking overly idealistic expectations at the door and simplifying back to our core values, a more stable and fertile option presents itself.
5/14..The moon enters Gemini, bringing a chatty and mental energy to the day. Make sure to ground yourself to avoid getting scattered and then take advantage of the ideas and articulations coming to you know. Good day for writing, communicating, and sales.
5/15-5/16…On Saturday get out and about and socialize. We need ideas and conversations to inspire us. Sunday the moon enters Cancer: take it easy and putter around your home.
