The month begins with Mercury entering the sign of Gemini the Twins, and the Sun and Venus will soon follow in the next couple of weeks. These cosmic shifts lead up to a pair of eclipses along the Sagittarius/Gemini axis, with a Mercury retrograde cycle to add fireworks (the Universe has a sense of humor).
May has a strong mutable feel to it. All the signs of the Zodiac belong to one (1) of three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. Mutable energy is adaptable, pliable and versatile. It is also scattered, unstable, and at times, ungrounded.
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are the mutable signs of the Zodiac. Personal placements in these signs denote a character that is able to adjust and be flexible but can experience a lot of anxiety around too much change, movement and activity.
This is especially true for Gemini, a sign that is constantly absorbing new stimuli wherever it goes, always at the front of the class when learning something new. The Twins will often take on too much, which can cause them to become unfocused and even irritable when overwhelmed.
As mutable energy builds throughout the month, I invite you to pace yourself. Be careful not to spread your energy too thin and make sure you’re not trying to do all the things. The buzz will be exciting, and, you may find yourself unable to take advantage of it all, having burned the candle at both ends. You’ve been warned.
Oh, and in case you were wondering just how much mutable energy we can expect:
Mercury enters Gemini this Wednesday, May 5th;
Venus enters Gemini on Monday, May 10th;
Jupiter enters Pisces on Friday, May 14th (for a hot minute);
The almighty Sun enters Gemini on Friday, May 21st;
A Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse peaks in Sagittarius on Wednesday, May 26th
Mercury stations retrograde in Gemini on Sunday, May 30th.
Check your horoscopes to see what's in store for this week ahead, and don't forget to read for your Ascendant sign, too.
