....The personal planets are quite active this week. Mercury has 26 aspects with the other planets, not counting his stressful connections with the Moon. He is FLYING through the heavens at close to 2 degrees a day, traveling from 10 to 24 Taurus. That means SO much information will be flying by your head, ears and eyes, it will be hard to keep up. So take notes. Hold those thoughts! Jot stuff down. Record impressions with your cell phone. Mercury’s giving you tons of information and various categories of things to think about and ponder. And they are all important! And there are A LOT of things that are important. Just gather the data right now. Don’t react to it ~ you might miss something if you stop to react to it…gather, gather, gather!....
....In addition to the Solar eclipse on May 9th , Mercury and Mars are also on the same degree of declination. Mercury and Mars will pass over the Moon’s face and be occulted by her on May 9th. Mercury rules communications, siblings, connections and travel. Mars rules war, drive, action, rivalry and sex. Expect some interesting turns of events around these areas of your life. So you need to watch the Leo, Cancer houses for the eclipse, the Virgo, Gemini houses for the Mercury eclipse, and the Aries, Scorpio houses for the Mars eclipse. And as usual look to the natal location and aspects of those planets in your chart to see what will be going on.
Astrologer Alphee Lavoie tracks occultations. His article below on occultations is included for your information. He noticed the Saturn/Moon occultation in 2001 coordinated with the World Trade Center attack on 9-11. Both the Mercury and Mars occultations take place over the United States on May 9th too. As Pluto is stationing opposite the degree of 9-11’s Jupiter all month, AND they just topped the 9-11 replacement building, the Freedom Tower AND they found part of a 9-11 plane in an alleyway on the same day AND we had the bombing in Boston with Jupiter in Gemini with brothers SO we can expect a part two of some sort of major event. I hate writing stuff like this. Hopefully, I am wrong. That Jupiter in his fall in Gemini brought us doubles the last eclipse in November ~ remember Sandy Storm and Sandy Hook ~ bookending the eclipses? We enter into the time frame when it can happen this week. The double occultations on top of the Eclipse make me fret a bit. Below is Alphee’ article.
