Michelle and Matt open with a discussion of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on May 26 and the need for exercises in non-attachment to thoughts. Then they follow up by looking at how the upcoming Mercury retrograde (starting May 29) is connected to last years' Venus retrograde and is square to Neptune. This is calling all of us to reflect and take note of how we can value fairness and still open to the oneness through radical forgiveness.

The New Moon in Taurus on May 11 has harmonious connections to the outer planets -- Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto -- prodding us all on to stick with the lessons we've been working on since the eclipses back in December. Michelle and Matt dig into the importance of shadow work, especially developing and integrating the things that we scoff at and dismiss. In the process they elaborate on the alchemical meanings of the chart angles, Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, and IC, and how this New Moon is setting the stage for Jupiter's homecoming to one of its traditional homes -- Pisces, and the great generosity and love that will be available for all of us to access.

Michelle and Matt delve into how the Saturn Uranus squares of 2021 are teaching us how to adjust our inner expectations toward external circumstances. We all learn early on as as kids how to gauge the responses we're likely to get to our actions. This is necessary to build the confidence in order to act. However, during certain cyclic periods, like when Saturn is squaring Uranus, we encounter situations that challenge those expectations. Using personal examples, Matt and Michelle spell out how we can practice adjusting our expectations in order to raise awareness of the richness life has to offer when we do.
