May 2013 — Grow or Die
The wild Aries energies from April start to ground then take flight as the personal planets move into Taurus and then Gemini throughout May.
The Solar Eclipse in Taurus on May 9th will open up won- derful doors offering great potentials for new levels of self- sufficiency, through new business opportunities, powerful forward movement on environmental initiatives, and for some straight-up instant CASH. Seeds you planted during the magical New Moon have likely sprouted and started strong growth. For many, some belief system or old way of doing things will be eclipsed out with the Lunar Eclipse in Sagit- tarius on May 25th and allow for new Solar Eclipse energies, and the seeds planted during the New Moon, to take full root.
This is a time to GROW OR DIE. Remember this phrase. Cir- culate it through your head like a mantra so that when the moment arises when you have to make the decision to throw in the towel instead of stepping up into your destined glory, you RISE. Keep your mind fixed on the goal as you dance through the chaos of the breakdown of the old way. Eclipses work like a beautiful symphony. Once the energies start kick- ing, there is no telling time, dates, which occurred first — they blend together to create an intricate story. The name of the song is GROW OR DIE.
For some there will be a very obvious precipitating event that creates the questioning and subsequent break-down of the belief system or old way of seeing and doing things. Sometimes these can be challenging and dramatic events, sometimes they can be really cool and exciting events, but in either case you will be asked to step up. Will you do it? Or will you get lost in the story, the death-throws, as essence exits the old form and takes new shape?
Another layer of revolutionary upheaval comes with the Uranus in Aries Square Pluto in Capricorn Transit on May 20. The longer the orbits are of planets involved in a transit, the wider the orb of influence. The effects of this transit have been manifesting for years and will continue for more years. This energy can be associated with natural disasters including earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, cyclones, and hurricanes. Hav- ing a plan that it is appropriate for the kind of events possible in your area is a good idea. Living in fear robs the experience of life, but practical knowledge and measures can be imple- mented with Presence.
This is a revolutionary time. Challenging and triumph- ing over the fear-based Ego-run systems in the experience of the individual, communities, and the world take center stage with this transit. Do what has to be done balancing the knowledge that sometimes in the process of straightening things out, a little more of a mess has to be made, but also all of our acts have consequences that ring out into time and space. Much energy is available for profound inner and outer transformation. Responsible Renegades Unite!
