As we transition into the month of May, we find ourselves slipping into a slightly more relaxed and serene interlude, offering respite from the tumultuous signature of the eclipses and Jupiter Uranus conjunction in April. The mid-Spring ambiance brings our focus towards the steadfast and grounding influence of Taurus, inviting us to slow down, reconnect with practical matters where new progress can be made, and enjoy the ambrosia of mid-spring here in the northern hemisphere.
Reflecting on the reverberations of April’s eclipse, we witnessed a swift reconfiguration of trends and doubling down on conflict around the globe. The Aries North Node Eclipse unleashed heightened tension and confusion, triggering old wounds and unsettling foundations. We saw this play out on the world stage with escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, as well as the terrorist attacks in Moscow. Combined with the disruptive influence of both malefics in water sign Pisces, including the ruler of the eclipse, Mars, we also had destabilization of infrastructure in the form of a bridge collapse in Baltimore in the US and record flooding in Dubai, ensnarling critical infrastructure with and around water.
Amidst the chaos, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus stood as a beacon of promise for revolutionary change and liberation. The last time the 2 planets were conjunct we saw demonstrations spread across the Arab world and the birth of Bitcoin.
However, the presence of Venus and the Moon in Aries during the eclipse obscured the conjunctions’ potent energy, delaying the fulfillment of its transformative potential. Now, as various planets and luminaries traverse Taurus, they activate the latent power of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, paving the way for unexpected breakthroughs and radical shifts in the memetic and cultural zeitgeist.
