Dear Friend and Reader:<\/p>\n

This is Beltane weekend; some Celtic folklore regards the entire month of May as Beltane, the festival of spring. Here is an article<\/strong><\/a> from a few years back that coves the subject well, and here is another<\/strong><\/a> that reviews all of the Quarter Days and Cross Quarter Days.<\/p>\n

The Moon is in Sagittarius, picking up fire and air energy and finally crossing over the Galactic Center late Saturday night; it will be in Sagittarius until Sunday morning when it ingresses Capricorn at 6 am sharp ET (3 am in California, 11 am in the UK, noon in Europe, and late Sunday night in Oz). The Moon will make a nice sextile to Chiron as it enters Capricorn. Ceres has stationed retrograde just shy of Pluto in early Capricorn, though the two are close and making the same basic transits in your natal chart.<\/p>\n

The Saturn-Uranus opposition is still at full strength, though technically it was exact (for the 4th time) Tuesday. Uranus in Pisces is in direct motion, as is Jupiter in Pisces — both are headed for a conjunction in early June in the first degree of Aries — the Aries Point. Though this astrology is ‘in the future’ we are under its influence today.<\/p>\n

That influence is: a moment of renewal on a cosmic scale; a new idea about Life, and Self, and The World — it’s like a trump card coming out of the astrological deck, one that you see only every 75 years or so. That sounds like the old definition of jubilee.<\/p>\n

Meantime, for a bit of the Beltane spirit, here is The Mummer’s Dance<\/strong><\/a> from Loreena McKennitt.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend, and if you have any thoughts, please share them in the comment area below.<\/p>\n

Yours & truly,<\/p>\n
