Balsamic Moon phase today since 9:46a MDT – at 28 degrees Pisces – what are you leaving behind this Moon cycle that no longer supports the  New You emerging forth? What holds your Ego-self/Mind within the throes of fear and resistance?

Breathe, look, listen…let go and move along onto your Destined Path of Light…

Blessed BE!

The fifth month of this incredible year, May holds many signs that point to the need to build, develop and work on what we already have rather than striking out in all-new directions. We are energized, re-evaluation our relationships to what brings us security, nourishes our sensibilities and reconnects us to nature, inside and outside. “Life is like a river.” – Siddhartha. The energy of the year (based on the planetary activity and numerology) is about going with the flow! Cosmic forces are mostly contained in mutable signs so change and refinement is happening. Connect with nature. Relate to water. Do whatever it takes to create clarity, creativity and ease in your life. Stay connected to your deepest needs, focus on what matters most and cultivate healthy relationships.

Teri’s interest with astrology lies with helping people see how following a practice of intention and self-awareness leads to a fuller relationship with Mystery. Astrology is a wonderful tool for this. Her weekly column orients readers to the seasonal energy of
each month’s Sun sign in order to set magical/mindful intention for the lunar month beginning at the New Moon.

Each week Teri will write about the unfolding energies that support and challenge our intentions. The ebb and flow of the lunar cycle resides deep in our souls. Through following the phases of the Moon, we remember the natural cycles that guide us.

What on Earth and in the heavens is going on?

Yes, it’s the era of massive global awakening and transformational shifts, mirrored by our transpersonal ‘friends’ URANUS in mid ARIES, and PLUTO in mid CAPRICORN, in sharp ‘square dance’ with each other ( 7 exact alignments from 2012 – 2015, and recently again almost exact, Dec 2015 – Spring 2016).

But what’s with all the technology, media, and communication glitches that have sneaked in again lately?

Bingo! Another MERCURY retro is ON.

If you’ve read my MERCURY retro support notes (or shall I say: RE-hab advocacy?) 3 times a year over the last years you know my take on it (and might find it liberating): M-r isn’t necessarily ‘BAD’ news.

In a nutshell, with M-r, the Messenger Archetype – our MIND – is being adjusted, while temporarily operating differently than ‘usually’, to tune into and be REcalibrated to a ‘New MERCURY’ (hey, what’s that???).

Sun, Mercury and Venus all in Taurus (tropical zodiac).  Venus can be found in the morning rising before the Sun.  Mercury can be found on the western horizon in the evening at sundown.
