With Mercury now behaving, the month should be calmer than most of March and that first week in April. That said, there’s as big transit to take note of.
On May 24 Saturn enters Aries, just as Neptune did at the end of March. Saturn changes signs every 2.5 years and has been in Pisces since March 2023. Once it enters Aries, it will be there until August 31, then retrograde back into Pisces until Feb 14, 2026, when it enters Aries again.
So with these two outer planets in fire sign Aries, all of us will be eager for change.
However, this change doesn’t necessarily change what’s happening to our country as Trump and his buddy Musk and the entire power-hungry administration continue to dismantle the government and economy. As some pundits have noted: we aren’t just approaching Fascism and authoritarianism, we’re already there.
Here are the dates to watch for in May:
