Overview of the transit update for the month of May.

This month brings a sense of gradual mental and emotional relief, with clarity as now direct Mercury slowly moves away from Rahu and the eclipse point.

Expect internal and external changes to happen as Mercury moves in Aries.

The theme of the month revolves around Jupiter and the conjunction that Uranus makes with the slow-moving planets in the last degrees of Aries to permanently change the equation of Aries placement in our chart.

And also, around the Taurus sign, marked by the significant transit of Jupiter into Taurus after its conjunction with Uranus in Aries last month.

Additionally, Jupiter forms conjunctions with the Sun and also Venus, its dispositor in Taurus, to trigger some major events in May.

On the onset of the month Jupiter enters Taurus on 1st May, after crossing Uranus in Aires…

The transit of Jupiter at the start and Uranus at the end of the month — from Aries to Taurus signifies a shift in the collective energy and focus.

It signals a period of growth, stability, and abundance, with a focus on practicality, material well-being, and nurturing our values.

It indicates a time to lay the foundations to build our future and enjoy the fruits of our labor in a grounded and sustainable manner.

Expect fast results from Jupiter, as Jupiter moves almost 7 degrees and 3 navamsa within this month.

Then Pluto starts its retrogression from 2nd May @ 7° in Capricorn.

Expect all the significant pending transformations that you have been waiting for. It can be a powerful period for inner work, and lasting changes, where Capricorn is placed in our chart.

Expect power struggle and complete change in our career. It’s time to reassess our ambitions, career paths and check if we are on the right track.

It’s a good time to change consciously or things can be imposed on us.

See, this month, things are changing more internally — with Mars in Pisces for the entire month and Mercury making its move to Aries.

Along with that Rahu — Ketu are also changing their navamsa on the 7th. Rahu gets in Sagittarius Navamsa and Ketu in Gemini Navamsa

Now internally we may feel at ease…. Both Sagittarius and Gemini are mutable signs, indicating inner flexibility and adaptability in our approach.

We will be more accepting and welcoming to different ways of thinking.

We may also experience frequent changes or shifts in circumstances, and it is necessary to stay open to change or any new opportunities.

And a new beginning will be there on 8th May with the New moon in Bharani Nak @ 23° in Aires, Where Venus, the nak lord is with the Moon and Sun in Aries, al in Bharani nakshatra.

It symbolizes a time of fresh starts, bold initiatives, and courageous actions.

It’s an opportunity to use the dynamic energy of Aries to pursue our goals and passions with confidence and enthusiasm.

Then on 10th May, we have an auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya, where the Sun and Moon, both are at the peak of their brightness.

‘Akshaya’, in Sanskrit, means one that never diminishes, is eternal, everlasting, or immortal.

Tritiya is the 3rd Tithi of the waxing moon and is capable of bringing victory…

Use this day to initiate any challenging task and be assured of success.

Same day Mercury will be out of the clutches of Rahu and cross Pisces Gandanta to enter Aries.

Another reason to make a fresh start and be assured of positive development

Expect a new start at the mental level, and implementation of whatever we thought of in the past couple of months.

Mercury in Aires can help us to make quick decisions with clarity, followed by quick action on our plans and ideas.

To add to this, even the Sun is close to Uranus in Aries and will make an exact conjunction on 13th May. Sun — Uranus conjunction can be an important trigger.

As this can significantly change the equation of the Sun in your chart, whatever the Sun signifies and its lordship, the Leo sign can experience sudden changes.

Both are in Kritika — Sun’s nakshatra to give definite results. Expect sudden and surprising developments, or some breakthrough that can disrupt the status quo.

It’s a good time to break free from old patterns and embrace new ways of thinking and expressing yourself.

Then, on 12th May Saturn will enter Taurus Navamsa for nearly 3 and half months. It’s a strong and favorable position, and Saturn is happy here.

Internally, Saturn assures satisfaction regarding material wealth, possessions, and stability within the family.

It signifies a strong emphasis on our family values and financial security.

Saturn in Taurus navamsa ensures gradual progress and improvement in family and material matters.

Then on 14th May Sun will join Jupiter in Taurus and make an exact conjunction on 18th May @ 4°

Sun’s transit through Taurus encourages a practical, stable, and wishful approach to life, especially in finances, relationships, family, and career.

It’s a time for grounding ourselves, focusing on long-term goals, and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

We have Jupiter also in Taurus that can bring abundance, expansion, and growth, both materially and spiritually.

It’s a time to embrace new opportunities and cultivate optimism to rise at the soul level

On the same day 14th Uranus will conjunct Venus @ 29° in Aries. And Venus is the despositor of this Jupiter-Sun conjunction.

There can be significant and unexpected changes related to Venus in our chart.

And on 23rd May Lord of Taurus Venus will conj Jupiter @ 5° in Taurus.

See, the back-to-back impact on Taurus and Venus’s signification that is evolving and transforming.

Both are the most beneficial planets, but they follow different ideals. So, expect change, conflict, and struggle to choose sides. And balance is the key here.

If managed well then, this conjunction has the potential for giving abundance, harmony, and growth in various areas of life.

Then on 23rd May — Scorpio Full Moon in Anuradha Nak @ 8° where the lord of Anuradha, Saturn has an aspect.

The Scorpio Full Moon carries intense and transformative energies, often can bring, profound shifts and revelations.

Expect concrete results with some closure, where Scorpio is placed.

Lastly, on 31st May — Mercury will conjunct Uranus @ 29° And with this — now we had Jupiter, Sun, Venus, and Mercury all conjunct Uranus in Aires — back-to-back and then entering Taurus.

The change is inevitable with the last degree of Aries placement in our chart.

The conjunction of Mercury and Uranus in Aries encourages bold talks, innovative thinking, rebellious tendency, and demands intellectual freedom.

There can be heated debates, conflicts, and verbal fights if not handled well.

It’s a time to embrace change, think outside the box, and harness the power of disruptive ideas for personal and collective evolution.
