First Week of May Stars

The first week of May has so much going on in it, that Venus & Vesta has split the month into two and here we just look at the first week. KEY TAKEAWAYS Day one, Pluto goes retrograde on May Day at 0 degree Aquarius. Other historical things that have occurred at that point include the marriage and coronation of Anne Boleyn, which possibly doesn’t bode well for King Charles III. Pluto in Aquarius has previously meant revolution, the rising of the people in protest, the beheading of kings and the leaving of global operations, which resonates with so much that is going on today. Day two, Mercury has a Cazimi aspect which means its powers of communication, ideas and thinking expressions are going to be super-sized and we all get a ‘eureka’ moment. The coronation of King Charles III occurs within 24 hours of the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse on 5th May and as he was born on a Lunar Eclipse, it allows him to be a special conduit for this shadow energy. BEST MOMENTS"We know the French for being able to construct blockades, strikes, they’re really prepared to take action against their government and demand things. Look what they’re getting up to now. Aquarius is where we don’t like hierarchies.’"We understand Ann Boleyn in the modern age, but I don’t think she was understood then. That’s so Aquarian, she was before her time and she was crowned when Pluto was at 0 degree Aquarius, and six months later Elizabeth I was born and she also brought in a lot of radical ideas as well.’‘Venus in Aquarius (such as Henry VIII) have a lighter view of being attached/committed, they’re more into freedom and having a looser, lighter engagement.’‘With Pluto, it evolves or dies. We have to get freedom from institutions and big operations or we die doing so. We need to flatten the hierarchy or we’ll lose ourselves. We have to be able to marry and divorce who we want, we have to have freedom from the global structures, freedom from unelected and unaccountable operations. We need to live by what we believe, not living this way is a death in itself.’ ABOUT THE HOST Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/venusandvesta/?hl=en   Website - https://www.venusandvesta.com  Ann-Louise Holland is a shamanic homoeopath, herbalist and astrologer.  She teaches astrology along with Steiner based anthroposophy, both of which are concerned with cultural events that bring about humanity's evolution and awareness to the soul's journey.  Venus & Vesta is a podcast about astrology for astrologers, monthly updates on the movements of the planets and asteroids, weekly detailed discussions, aligning the stars with what is happening in the world.
