Quite a bit is happening within a 24-hour period 17th-18th May 2015 , so let’s take a look at what’s going on.
To start, Juno conjuncted Jupiter in Leo at 7:20p PDT on Sunday, 17th May. Felt for about three days prior and continuing to be felt for about three days post, there is an expanding of the collective commitment to creative self-expression. More and more people are beginning to consider their personal and individual ability to make their individual selves known and acknowledged. The call to be make one’s True self known openly to the world is becoming stronger, and more and more people are recognizing how they’ve made it easy or difficult for themselves to do so.
A big part of this revelation is recognizing it’s up to them to figure out how committed they are to creatively and brilliantly making their unique expression of Light known to the world. It’s no one else’s job to make their lives matter. Instead, how committed are they to making their own lives matter to the world?
Juno in Leo clarifies and/or strengthens that commitment to self-expression, and Jupiter in Leo emboldens the growth and expansion of that commitment. Together, this may indicate people finding their courage to stand up and emerge from the shadows to make themselves known in the Light.
Another event on Sunday, 17th May was the Taurus New Moon at 9:13p PDT. The conjunction of the Taurus Moon with the Taurus Sun provided an interesting emotional awareness of one’s own current lifestyle values and resources and possibly the values and resources of others. If you’ve been considering an upgrade in your own life, it may be a time for you to gain more clarity about what the idea of upgrade actually means for you. The effects of the New Moon last for about 24 hours prior to and after, so there’s still time for you to have an inquiry about the kind of lifestyle you’re creating for yourself and your life.
- What are your lifestyle values now?
- What is the reality of your lifestyle resources now?
- How emotionally invested are you in your current lifestyle and/or the lifestyle you want to live?
- Are you willing to give up comfort and ease for what you truly want?
- And most important, do you feel emotionally satisfied by your current lifestyle?
Last but not least for this 2015 Taurus Sun period, Mercury in Gemini enters retrograde motion at 6:49p PDT on Monday, 18th May 2015. This will be a call to pay attention to the communications coming to you, and with Mercury currently residing in its home sign of Gemini, there will be plenty of information coming to you that it would be wise for you to learn and know.
Mercury Retrograde is not about being determined to get your communications out as it is about noticing the repetitive or consistent information coming in to you from varied sources. The Universe will be providing you with very clear messages about who you’re being, where you are, and where you’re going in the world – messages you may miss if you’re more concerned about making yourself heard than listening for what others are saying (or not saying). Keep in mind that not all communications are verbal or written – at least for these last couple of days of the Taurus Sun, it would be wise to pay attention to both body language and the actions of others. The old adage is very true – actions really do speak louder than words. If you want to know the truth of someone’s motives, pay attention to their behaviors and actions.
Also notice that if you’re trying to send information or have a conversation and your efforts are being blocked or delayed, don’t fight it! It may be the Universe’s way of keeping you from saying or doing something that needs to be thought through a bit more or possibly not communicated at all. It would be wise to pause your efforts if you feel like you’re communications are being withheld or prevented, and to consider why that may be the case.
One more thing: The one part of Mercury Retrograde lore I will advocate for is…if you can, avoid making any contractual agreements (including major purchases) between 18th May and 11th June. There is always a do-over element to anything that is started or agreed upon during Mercury Retrograde. In Gemini, it’s likely to have to do with wording or some other detail of the wording that may need to be revisited and revised later.
There will be more to discuss later in the week as the Sun moves into Gemini at 1:45a PDT on Thursday, 21st May 2015. To learn more about that and what this 2015 Gemini Sun period is bringing, sign-up to receive the next edition of The Life By Soul Monthly E-Zine which will be coming out later this week.
Thank you for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
