May arrives with a fiery Aries moon conjuncting expansive Jupiter in Aries, Mars in Aries adding the fuel, and Venus in Aries lighting the passion. Uranus and Mercury are also in Aries activating our minds in unique ways and creating new neuro pathways. Taurus New Moon occurs on Tuesday, May 3rd - a potential new beginning for our resources, money and material concerns. This is a good time for activating prosperity consciousness programs and releasing concepts of lack and scarcity. Yes, you may live a more abundant and fulfilling life. Work with affirmations such as this: "God (the Divine, my higher self) is the Source of my supply and this supply is infinite."

During the time of Taurus (April 21- May 21), it's time to honor Mother Gaia, and reconnect to your own physical body. Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, and Venus rules the kidneys and the throat. When the sun transits Taurus, our throat chakra may be vulnerable and need some healing attention.

The more we can feel securely grounded or rooted to the Earth at this time, the easier it will be to weather the winds of change and chaos that are upon us. It is important to stay above the fray, know that you are the master of your own body and your own immune system. Listen to your body's wisdom. Get back to the Earth, and find remedies from her apothecary for healing, such as Essential oils, organic herbs, nutritional supplements, and super foods.

The Wesak Festival is celebrated on the Scorpio Full Moon which falls during the sun's transit through Taurus. This year it occurs on Tuesday, May 17th. The three days leading up to the full moon are the days of preparation, then the full moon, with the three days following it being the days of dispensation. The Wesak Moon is a festival celebrated by Buddhists and Hindus, and brought to the west by the Theosophists. The Wesak Festival is a time when the spiritual hierarchy, also known as the ascended masters of the planet, such as Buddha, Kuan Yin, the Christ, Mary, Krishna, Radha, , Lakshmi, and many others gather on the etheric planes and the physical

planes of the Himalayan mountains on the border of India and Tibet. This is one of the many planetary portals being activated strongly during the current planetary shifts (others include Macchu Picchu in Peru, Mt. Shasta, Sedona, AZ, Glastonbury, England, Maui). The planetary masters assemble in the Himalayans to bless humanity and assist human consciousness in advancing forward to divinity. A special ceremony takes place, and the earth is infused with higher spiritual vibrations.

In 1985, I had a dream about this ceremony where I was observing a gathering high in the mountains with Tibetan lamas and other holy people who were veiled. Shortly after the dream, synchronically a pamphlet on the Wesak Festival came into my hands via the Theosophical Society in Boston. For the past 24 years, I have celebrated this event either in my own meditations or in group activations to honor this special occasion. Since this is the most powerful full moon every year, I advise honoring it with your own form of sacred ceremony.

During the Taurus equinox and the Scorpio full moon, Planet Earth receives a transmission from the galactic energies of the Great Bear, Pleiades, Sun, Vulcan, Venus, Planetary Logos, Sanat Kumara, Buddha and the Christ affecting all humanity. It is a very charged up time of the year, and on a personal level we can harness this energy and use it to set new and higher goals, make new plans to meet those goals, and strive to activate your soul's purpose in your day to day life. If you are unclear about your soul's purpose, called "dharma" in Sanskrit, it is a good time to consult an astrologer who can read your astrological chart, which is a cosmic blueprint of the soul for this current incarnation.

The other big astrological news in May is the Mayan 2nd Night of the 9th Wave which occurs from May 1-May 18 and the Mayan 3rd Day of the 9th Wave from May 19 - June 6. During the Mayan 2nd Night many things that have been hidden will come to light, especially around the full moon of May 17th. Don't believe everything you hear or read in the media. Try to use your own intuition to figure out what the Global elite is conspiring behind the scenes to keep us all in the thralldom of unconsciousness. Ride the Mayan 9th Wave to realize that there is an abundance of time, love, money, and healing available to us all on the planet right now. Align with the Divine.
