- THE SUN & EARTH & MORE -

Every project, business, romantic relationship, or partnership has its own birth chart, and the Sun and Earth are the most crucial factors in that chart.

Red days are the most challenging. Green days are the most helpful. Yellow days need extra caution

Set for NY 6 am Eastern Time

Every day can vary in its propensity for a successful outcome. Some days are better for love, and some are better for money, but of course, your own chart's transits are the most important. However, when you have great transits and also pick a great day to start something new, the magic happens!

Every day has some good alignments but also some unpleasant ones. No day is ever perfect. The Sun or Earth is the most important body in any chart, so understanding their most significant alignments can help you make better choices.

This column places emphasis on the aspects to the Sun & Earth.

The 13-17 of May are the least auspicious days for starting something new. There are many factors to consider but deception—either deceiving yourself or being deceived by others—is a distinct possibility. Everyone has dreams, and some dreams can be achieved if they are approached realistically, so it isn’t awful, just not optimum. Although those pesky midpoints can be unnerving.

The 18th -  20th are much better days when both Jupiter and Neptune are favorably highlighted, and it was already mentioned that May 20- 24 is a favorable time when the Sun is trine a retrograde Pluto, illuminating the enhanced power and material success of the farthest out now demoted planet.

Let’s keep an eye on June 21. The markets and/or the world attitude could shift around the solstice when complicated planetary geometry is highlighted.

MYSTICAL DEGREES

The degrees of the zodiac have held esoteric meanings for astrologers in the past. Some used psychic means to obtain penetrating insights while others used birth chart examples.

Over the years I have gathered a list of keyword symbolic meanings for each degree of the zodiac.

3 AQUARIUS - The SEESAW

PLUTO turns retrograde on May 4 at 3.8 Aquarius This degree of Aquarius could bring to mind a seesaw where one person is only up when the other is down. A ride on a seesaw can be fun and exciting but both sides must exert equal force or the ride can become bumpy or even unpleasant.

Since Pluto rules big money, power, sex, and dominance this seesaw symbolism can be easily related to the ups and downs of markets, the political playing field, and the struggle to survive and reproduce.

Although Pluto seems somewhat isolated and unaffected by other planets as it makes the turn, in heliocentric Pluto is very actively engaged, with an upcoming quincunx to Jupiter, a conjunction with Pallas and Lilith, and a Grand Trine forming with Sedna, Xanthus and Midas.

Since Pluto rules investments the ups and downs of this degree can remind us that financial barometers such as interest rates can go up and down, too. There is always a loser and a winner, so the reversal of some rate trends can be good or bad, depending on your perspective, but Jupiter is within an effective orb until June 12, and the Grand Trine includes several financial bodies, so all this might indicate some healthy opportunities for investments.

Pluto will be highlighted May 20- 24 when the Sun is trine retrograde Pluto and illuminates the enhanced power of material success in the geocentric dimension. We will want to take note of Pluto’s degree as it moves towards a sextile to Neptune and Saturn in Aries in June, too.

Presidential Update

Watching political maneuverings and a nonstop stream of propaganda and fear porn has almost become a national pastime. How is Donald Trump going to fare now that his first 100 days in office are over and his mighty Cinderella transit of Chiron trine his natal Earth has peaked? That was the planetary alignment of popularity that helped him win the election.

Remember the rule that says that the more planets involved in a transiting configuration, the more powerful the transit is? As we enter May, the President has transiting Pluto contraparallel 6 (or more) natal planets including the Sun, Venus, Uranus, Odin, Pallas, Pluto. He has the “I can do anything” confidence as well as drive and determination to push forward his agendas.

Pluto is also moving into a position to create a Grand Trine with his natal Odin and Neptune that ensures he will be able to dominate as a leader and create a lasting mark, although this Grand Trine will not peak this year because Pluto will turn retrograde.

With Jupiter crossing his natal Sun during the first half of May and Jupiter parallel his Sun until early June, he also has the enthusiasm, opportunities, and wisdom that can earn some recognition for his good works. Jupiter is also parallel to his natal Uranus, Pluto, Pallas, and Odin, so there is little to hold him back in the near future.

U.S. Chart Update

Interestingly, Pluto is also a major player in the U.S. chart in May 2025. Pluto is contraparallel the Sun of the July 4, 1776 U.S. chart, plus applying to a contraparallel with this chart’s natal Venus, Mars, Jupiter. Numerous simultaneous transits mean an important era. Powerful forces are at work to transform this nation.

The bi-dimensional transit of Uranus trine the U.S. chart’s Pluto peaking in May adds a positive shift in investments and power that can result in stability to the overall economic outlook. It is appropriate that Pluto rules taxes since the White House has recently been floating the idea of tax breaks for many Americans based on anticipated tariff income.

On the downside, Neptune in Aries is moving into position to form a square to the natal U.S. Venus in the geocentric dimension which will last a long time and could indicate an insidious waste of resources that won’t be apparent until this alignment is closer to its peak, although there is some emphasis in June just before Neptune turns retrograde. Despite this, the sextile forming from Pluto to Neptune, which will also form a quincunx to the U.S. Venus, will make the planetary patterns more easily navigated.  

Also, transiting Saturn in heliocentric will oppose the U.S. chart’s natal Neptune in May which could indicate an even more serious drain on resources so hopefully no trade deals will be natalized in May that could cause a loss for the U.S. Then again, perhaps the White House's belt tightening efforts will finally create some savings for the American taxpayer.

Neither of these alignments are favorable for the country’s healthcare systems, minerals, gas and oil, or long term investments.

The good news is that a favorable quincunx from Chiron bolsters Neptune and offsets a large percentage of the negativity of the Saturn transit. And at least this alignment is short lived and once it is done, it is done.

YET there are also helpful patterns emerging that can allow us to compensate and adapt to the changing world picture. Watch your investments but don’t panic—the seesaw might be active this month, but no one needs to remain in the down position or dangle helplessly at the top. Concentrate on achieving equilibrium. Think about how one gets off a seesaw without being injured—both sides must be level and equal, right?

THOUGHTS & THINGS

IT'S NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE

Dubai and parts of the Arabian Peninsula received 18 months of rainfall in 24 hours in April 2024. People died.

Some people have blamed their cloud seeding operation that began in 2022. Yet many scientists refuse to believe there could be side effects from tampering with mother nature.

Makes you wonder about the horrendous floods of 2024 that wiped out parts of North Carolina and other states. They are still trying to recover amd just last week NC received Federal monies to help. Here is an article that could be of interest:
