Momentum with Perspective

We follow the Moon past Ketu on Sunday, May 24th, which breaks the state of Kala Amrita Yoga’s second pulse this Spring. This rare combination tends to bring us to the brink of fate, with the challenge being to surrender to the forces we find to be out of our control. The last time this combination manifested with Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo was in 1859! As the Moon moves beyond Ketu, there may be a noticeable sense of psychological release, wider perspective, or renewed maneuverability

Similar to the previous week, the only planet changing signs this week is the Moon, in waxing phase, with the week culminating with the full Moon in Scorpio on May 31st. While free from association with other planets after Moon moves out of Leo, there will still be notable aspects that can affect our moods and minds as the week unfolds. The moment of the full Moon with an exact aspect of fiery Mars from Aries could bring catharsis and emotional honesty after some difficult processing.

Monday and Tuesday, the Moon moves through Virgo, creating a mutual aspect through opposition with Saturn. This could feel like tough emotions surfacing or frustrating project delays. Wednesday, Thursday, and part of Friday will see the Moon moving through Libra, where the triple aspect of Rahu, Jupiter, and Mars is felt. This could feel like overwhelm that slips either toward wise choices, frustrated reactions, or innovative solutions. Friday into Saturday sees the Moon move into Scorpio, showing success with difficult actions and internal experiences.

Saturn in Pisces keeps our attention on foundations and completion while Mars in Aries strongly drives us forward with plans and projects. Sun and Mercury in Taurus invite us to stay grounded as we focus on the enjoyable and comforting things. The exchange of signs between Mercury and Venus keeps up energy and enthusiasm for transactions and creativity. The combination of Venus and Jupiter in Gemini during Jupiter’s swan song week in Mercury’s air sign urges us to focus on learning trajectories, practicing what we’ve learned, and doing final rehearsals for the graceful windows that opens when Jupiter enters Cancer on June 1.

This is a final integration week before Jupiter changes signs. While not much else seems to move this week, try to find the final threads of the lessons that Jupiter has been teaching in Gemini for the past year and tie them together to build confidence as you move from practice to performance with that recently attained understanding. 

Overall, we are looking at a week that offers momentum combined with perspective. The rising energy of the waxing Moon combined with the enthusiasm of the Venus-Mercury parivartana supports positive forward movement this week.
