As we travel the eclipse corridor, the intensity is building inside and around us. It feels like we’ve stepped into the ferocious Refiner’s Fire, transforming our vessels from carbon to crystalline. Imagine your energy is being pushed, prodded and polished into the emerging diamond! During the month of May’s Taurus earthy energies, we typically enjoy the beauty of Venus, the natural world and life’s sensuous pleasures. But while the May eclipse portal is open, you may be feeling the pressure increase in the field. There are 3 major cosmic events coming soon: Mercury turns Rx in Gemini on May 10, Jupiter changes signs and enters Aries also on May 10, plus the 2nd eclipse - a Full Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse arrives on May 15/16. Any one of these events wield significant ripple effects in the collective field. All three transits occurring during a powerful eclipse portal increases the magnitude of potential output exponentially. How ready are you for the intense heat of the Refiner’s Fire? Are you including self-care during the eclipse portal? If you feel overwhelmed, take a timeout and rest, nourish and regenerate your life force vitality. Embrace the inflow of cosmic energies! Just a reminder, Mercury Rx can wreak havoc on electronics, travel and communication. Retrogrades are a time for review, analysis and discovery. Retrograde in Gemini from May 10 to June 3, Mercury may reveal hidden duplicity or lack of integrity. Mercury Rx in Gemini may cause mental confusion, calling us to slow down, pay attention within, attune to soul truth. Apply critical thinking to disagreements, charged situations, and fixed opinions. Also on May 10, Jupiter moves into fire sign Aries. Ruled by Mars, the first sign of Aries is individualistic, bold and brave…proclaiming to the world ‘I AM’. Jupiter represents expansion, optimism, growth, generosity, and good fortune. While Jupiter is in Aries, we identify strongly with personal opinions, beliefs, and perceptions, becoming easily offended when others disagree with us! With Jupiter’s zeal, we need to focus on the positive aspects of Aries…taking the lead, inspiring others, utilizing inner courage to reinvent ourselves, and to live our true Ascension life. Let’s take our human reality to the next level! Be careful to avoid competition, self-centeredness, insensitivity, or delusion. Jupiter highlights the ‘bigger picture’. Point that spotlight on increasing soul magnetism as the source of personal satisfaction and accomplishment. With all this cosmic activity, we are still moving towards the 2nd eclipse. Eclipses typically occur in pairs. The powerful total Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse arrives on May 15/16 at 25° Scorpio opposite Uranus in Taurus. Eclipses are dynamic cosmic occurrences that activate the lunar nodes. During 2022 the Nodes of Fate, are on the Taurus/Scorpio axis. In astrology, the lunar nodes symbolize our past and future — our karmic pathway. Lunar Eclipses affect the emotional inner world, disrupting inner emotional equilibrium. A lunar eclipse in Scorpio, the sign of death, rebirth and transformation, is catalyzing us to emotionally evolve. The Blood Moon Eclipse occurring in Scorpio, signifies an ending, a closure point, encouraging us to release our addiction to drama, conflict and chaos. Most are seeking a quieter, more peaceful existence. Enough with the battles and wars! Set your intentions during the Scorpio eclipse for global peace, harmony and transcendence. And finally, these cosmic events are leading to the bi-annual Pleiadean Lineup. Twice a year, in May and November, a gateway is activated to the Pleiadean star system. When our Sun transits the galactic 25, 26, 27 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio, we are in astronomical alignment with the Pleiades. It is a time of connection and collaboration with our Pleiadean brothers and sisters, as we navigate the earthly ascension. While in the Refiner’s Fire, let’s transmute more shadow and illuminate more Light within and without. Calling all New Earth Wayshowers, Master Alchemists and Star Beings from all around the world to gather on Monday, May 16 for the Lunar Eclipse-Pleiadean Gateway Activations. Let’s join our cosmic family as we birth alive the New Earth paradigm. Register Here: https://newearthcentral.com/?p=253824 Lovingly, Meg Benedicte 1467 Siskiyou Blvd. #280 Ashland OR 97520 USA
