Astrodienst Newsletter May 2024
This is the monthly newsletter from Astrodienst with a short overview of the current quality of time and news from our website www.astro.com.
THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME
The quality of time in May is somewhat more relaxed than in the previous month when all signs pointed to trouble and change. However, what has sometimes erupted in recent weeks needs to be consolidated and integrated. That could be challenging again, especially in the middle of the month. But this May is also about love and sensuality. The last third of the month will bring an unusual lightness.
On the 1st of the month, sensual Venus in Taurus squares uncompromising Pluto in Aquarius. Some people will now feel a zest for life, while others will enjoy a passionate adventure. But keep a cool head and, above all, keep an eye on your finances because on May 2, Pluto turns retrograde until October 12. During this time, when it moves back into Capricorn for the last time (from September 2 to November 20), many things need to be checked for suitability once again. Any project that lacks substance now could come under considerable pressure in the fall.
The Taurus New Moon on May 8 is close to Uranus and precisely between Venus and Jupiter in Taurus, which brings material needs into focus. However, it is also an exceedingly sensual and fertile quality of time that could tempt you to indulge.
Treat yourself to something that makes you feel good on this day. It is also a brilliant time to give thanks in one way or another for the miracle of life, be it with a ritual or a small celebration with friends. This day is an excellent time to sow the seeds for a new project. It will bear abundant fruit.
On May 13, the Sun reaches the conjunction with Uranus, and the Leo Moon opposes Pluto. The pressure to change is now high. Unexpected developments can bring uncertainty, which some could instrumentalize here and there. However, you can achieve a lot during this time, provided you allow a minimum of creative chaos and dare to try new approaches.
When Mercury also enters Taurus on May 15, there are five planets in this pragmatic and sensual earth sign, associated with money and possessions and renowned for its need for material security. The corrections that could become necessary in these areas are not entirely unexpected but could nevertheless trigger resentment and resistance.
On May 18, the Sun is conjunct Jupiter, and Venus conjoins Uranus. It is a time of favorable opportunities. Fortune favors the brave! Lovers now receive a welcome boost, and new, promising encounters can arise. However, beware of exaggeration and respect your limits.
There is a noticeable change in the quality of time in the last third of the month. The Sun enters Gemini on May 20 and forms an exact trine to Pluto two days later.
The Full Moon is in Sagittarius on May 23. Simultaneously, Venus conjoins Jupiter on the last degree of Taurus. Only hours later, she also enters Gemini. Now, we can feel something like optimism, and an unusual lightness could remind us that we can also communicate with each other to solve problems. When Jupiter enters Gemini on May 26, it's hard to miss that a new phase is beginning.
On May 29, Mars is in conjunction with Chiron. Unbridled power and unconscious aggression could result in self-harm. It's a favorable time to lay down your weapons and consider whether the fight is worth it. When Mercury conjoins Uranus on May 31, a certain nervousness is noticeable. Negotiations and communication are now likely, and you may find solutions to conflicts previously considered insoluble.
THE PERSONAL QUALITY OF TIME
Due to the strong emphasis on the zodiac sign of Taurus, it is reasonable to assume that the focus is mainly on material issues. However, Taurus is not isolated in the zodiac but is in constant contact with all the other signs. A key to a deeper understanding of a zodiac sign is the opposite sign. Taurus is concerned with the formation of substance and physicality, and the opposite sign of Scorpio wants to loosen the bond to matter so that an openness to spiritual processes becomes possible. The polarity of binding and releasing is part of every person's in their way.

Liz Greene's horoscope The Seven Sins also deals profoundly with holding on and letting go, not just in a material sense. In this psychologically based personality analysis, the author examines the polarity of "shadow" and "light" in the birth chart. She shows how the shadow can manifest itself in your personal life, which creative potentials can be hindered or thwarted by it, and how you can ultimately transform this seemingly destructive dynamic into a constructive, life-enhancing expression of your personality.
You can find a fundamental and in-depth psychological analysis of your personality in Liz Greene's Psychological Horoscope. This text, created individually for you, also addresses qualities, identifies dark sides, and reveals a deep insight into your personality structure.
For the interpretation of your personal quality of time for the next 12 months, we recommend the Yearly Horoscope Analysis by Liz Greene and the Transits of the Year by Robert Hand. Discover more detailed horoscope interpretations in the Astro Shop.
