Aries – May 2022

The Sun rolls through your 2nd house this month bringing great opportunities for making more money.  Earned income often sees a boost during this transit. If you have money-making ideas or anything related to business goals, this could be a great time to research or take big or small or steps along your continuum. 

Finances could definitely see some improvements and also note that spending also tends to increase during this transit, too. So while you see the increase in the amount coming it will likely translate to an increase in the amount going out, especially if you don’t specifically make an effort to not have your spending rise with your income. If you put aside a certain percentage of your new increased income, you will likely be glad you did.

In situations where finances are challenged, the Suns presence can help you supercharge your resourcefulness and find solutions in expected and unexpected places. Keeping your scope wide as you look for answers could help in finding resolutions that could wind up even better than before.

Sometimes the Sun moving through this house brings information or insight about blocks to financial prosperity.  Seeing the issue(s) more clearly can help to bring resolution.  Some work may have to be donee other strategy to help increase extra income and the usage of income that comes in is very prudent now.  Setting financial goals and getting educated or having other support to reach them can make your money dreams a reality in the future and work you did on this topic in the past could come to fruition now in a big way. 

The urge to buy luxury or more expensive items may be strong now. This transit could bring in your ideal high ticket item that you have been wanting or it could bring you clarity about what you want, which will help you draw it to you. 

The Sun in this sector also brings opportunities to re-evaluate your value system. What is most important to you in your life?  Is the amount of time you are spending on those most important things in the right ratio compared to their importance to you? Asking bigger questions about things like this now will lead to valuable insights. 

The sector of your chart highlighted now also has to do with sustainability on any and all levels.  Asking questions about your imprint and sustainability of your lifestyle is well-favored now.  Taking measures to conserve or live lighter and more simply may be topics that come into the forefront.

It is interesting that this same house that rules luxury items also rules simple living.  Rolling around in the possibilities of this spectrum is what is being brought up now.  Some who have been living with a lot of excess may be drawn to pare down, and some who have been living with the bare essentials may be drawn to expand their interactions with the material realm.  Either way that feels true to you is perfect 🙂

Your self-value translated out into the material realm is also a major topic with this transit.  Your earning power may be your most valuable asset.  It may be time to think about how to invest in your earning power as your greatest investment.

May 2022 brings us back into the internal and retrospective energies of Mercury retrograde. All of May and the first half of June are covered in this fog that can bring confusion, miscommunications, and changes to plan, but can also bring in high creativity, clearing up unfinished business and increase the chance of last minute magic.

While you will be drawn to act this month, the best actions are ones that focus on the short-term, or are low stakes, experimental, and flexible.

ECLIPSE SEASON IS STILL HERE, which is a several month period where negative karmic patterns can clear quickly and your wildest dreams can manifest, but to open the space for the new, some big goodbyes may occur. 

April 30 brings a solar eclipse at 10° of Taurus and May 16 brings a lunar eclipse at 25° of Scorpio. The Taurus/Scorpio eclipse cycle started at the end of 2021 and its influence runs through the end of 2023. See my Eclipses in Taurus video to see how you may see it manifest and see my Eclipse in Scorpio video for info on what you may see from this one.

Continued strong Aries energies bring zest, decisive action, bold decisions, and inspiration. The Aries energies can also bring aggression and arguments so tune and and pick your battles wisely.

Taurus influences bring motivation to get things done, get organized, and take care of things that have been bogging you down. It is a time when much can be accomplished in a short amount of time and it is good to take advantage of the powers of focus (especially earlier in the month) as they will soon give way to the distractedness and extra busy-ness of Gemini.

Gemini energies bring the desire and means to be mobile and connect with others. Travel, writing and other expression, and communication with others will be prolific. You will feel as if you are spinning in a whirlwind and this continues through most of June.

Jupiter Conjunct Neptune in Pisces is a very rare transit that influences from March through May with the strongest influence in April. The last time these planets got together in this sign was 1856! See my detailed video to understand the potentials of the connection.

Jupiter Sextile Pluto is also influencing from April – June with its strongest potentials May 1-5.  Check out my detailed video to understand this rare connection.
