astral meanders May 2019

In General:

Mercury in Aries is still a strong energy for the first few days of May 2019, encouraging us to be more spontaneous and active with our lives. However by the 7th^th Mercury and Venus, combined with the Sun in Taurus bring a practical, grounding energy. A new moon on May 4^th is perfect for getting finances in order. On May 16^th Mars in Cancer suggests a good deal of energy centered around family.

The full moon in Scorpio on the 18^th will make us aware of our deeper desires and encourage us to put some energy into manifesting them. If you are celebrating a birthday this month then you can expect the year ahead to be a family oriented one. On the world scene it’s a time when governments are called upon to focus on education, health and other humanitarian issues. Locally, it’s a good time to get our finances and other aspects of our practical lives in order.

Astral meditations:

Most kinds of meditation focus upon paying attention to your mind, then gently bringing your mind back to a chosen focal point. The focal point itself varies from meditation to meditation. What you focus on can and does make a big difference on your meditation experience. Here are a few ideas for you.

Emotional Triggers. Trace an emotion back to its origins. Are there unconscious emotional triggers at play? Simply observe your emotional triggers with compassion and curiosity.

Compassion. Focus on your own sense of compassion and on your care and love for others around you. Allow this feeling to grow and expand.

Forgiveness. Bring to mind a person who has wronged you, or whom you perceive to have wronged you. Allow yourself to experience all the emotions associated with that experience, then slowly let them go. Choose to forgive.

Inspiration. How inspired do you feel right now, in the present moment? Explore the intricacies of what makes you feel inspired, or why you don’t feel inspired.

 Humanity . Think of the people in your life. Remind yourself that they’re human, just like you. They’re a conscious, feeling, thinking being, just like you. Tap into a shared sense of humanity with the people around you.

Happiness. Bring your attention to your own sense of happiness. How happy are you now? What does it feel like to put your attention on  happiness? How could you increase the sense of happiness in your everyday life?

Astral meanders: What’s Happening in the sky May 2019

May 4 - New Moon. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.

May 6, 7 - Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower. The Eta Aquarids is an above average shower, capable of producing up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak. Most of the activity is seen in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, the rate can reach about 30 meteors per hour. The thin crescent moon will set early in the evening leaving dark skies for what should be a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Aquarius, but can appear anywhere in the sky.

May 18 - Full Moon, Blue Moon. Since this is the third of four full moons in this season, it is known as a blue moon. This rare calendar event only happens once every few years, giving rise to the term, “once in a blue moon.” There are normally only three full moons in each season of the year. But since full moons occur every 29.53 days, occasionally a season will contain 4 full moons. The extra full moon of the season is known as a blue moon. Blue moons occur on average once every 2.7 years.
