Dear friends, lets make life worth living. Take time this month to think about all you want your life to be full of, and take steps to multiply that in your day-to-day with the little choices you make all the time.

This month we get opportunities to keep working on ourselves and encounter each day with a little more humility, grace, and grit to pick ourselves up and try again.

Highlights for this month and impact on The Vibe:

• 3 Conjunctions with Chiron (see the spotlight). This is like physical therapy for your soul, might be a little intense but its so you can become stronger and bring more meaning into the world.
• Lots of planets changing signs on the week of May 17, lots of new vibes coming through.
• Mercury is moving FAST. Info and plans coming at you quick, like a bullet from a gun!
• Meanwhile Pluto will start retrograde, giving us a chance to go deep into the underworld.

Astro breakdown:

Pluto is going retrograde in Aquarius again which we will feel strongly in the first week of May, and then in the background for the next 6 months or so! It’s time to take a beat, get introspective and reflective. Ask yourself some questions around May 2-10:

• What has been working out in your life?
• What has not, and needs to make a change?
• How are you proud of the way you exist in the world?
• What aspects of your life and way of being are unsustainable?
• How do should you evolve over the next 6 months?

We have the lovely Chiron in the spotlight this month, and he is here to guide us in hope for healing and growth. Gaze into the eyes of Chrion and know that everything is going to be ok:

Archetypal story: A wise warrior mentor with experience in healing and teaching. Happens to be a centaur, was rejected because of this by his mom (gasp! trauma!). Mentored many great warriors. Was gravely wounded in battle and gave up his immortality to save another (and bring an end to the pain). He is Sagittarius as well.

In Astrology, we work with Chiron energy as a continual exercise in self-healing and acceptance. We seek to find meaning for our suffering through helping others. Cultivate big-picture wisdom through the pain of this life.

Chiron dates this month:

1. Conjunct Mercury on May 1
2. Conjunct Mars on May 16
3. Conjunct Venus on May 17

Best way to engage with this is to get really good at feeling the pain and coming to acceptance of it, feeling the feelings that come up, and then letting go. The letting go is essential so you can move on to the next step life has in store for you. If you hold on tightly to your pain and don’t let it go, then all you will know is pain. Don’t you want to see what is on the other side of the pain? Think about this again during the week of May 16-22. What is coming up for you at that time?

A lot could change this month, and even if not in the day-to-day or the world around you, perhaps in the world WITHIN you. Don’t be afraid of the transformation. Don’t be afraid to let go. Growth and change are the best parts of life. Even if it is hard – this is meaning. This is what it is all about. This is what makes life worth it. Of course we always have choice to decide if we want to make a change, but change is coming regardless and if you resist then you’ll just be stuck in your feels for longer. What is around the corner instead?
