Human Design Weekly Neutrino Forecast for April 24th to April 30th 2016

This is the "Weekly Neutrino Forecast for April 24th to April 30th 2016."

    On April 24th we have the Sun in Taurus and also in the 27th hexagram. The Sun in the 27th hexagram is mapped to an opening in an energy channel called a gate, which is the 27th gate of "Caring (Nourishment); The enhancement of the quality and substance of all activities through caring." Located on the Sacral center in an Tribal energy path in the Defense Circuit, called the "Channel of Preservation: A design of Custodianship" that connects to its harmonic, the 50th gate of "Values (The Cauldron); The value of historical continuity whose traditional values serve and enrich the present and the future." I have found HD to be amazingly accurate in describing the person, that I use it as my primary tool when I provide readings. We have the following activated gates on April 24th; the Sun in the 27th gate, the Earth in the 28th gate, North node in the 47th gate and the South Node in the 22, Mercury at a standstill or stationed as it turns retrograde on the 28th in the 23rd gate, Venus in the 42, Mars retrograde in the 9, Jupiter retrograde in the 64th, Saturn retrograde in the 5th, Uranus in the 42, Neptune in the 37, and Pluto retrograde in the 54th gate. Obviously not every gate activation forms a channel, but this information can be very helpful if you know your own Human Design chart, because some of these transits will form channels with potentials in your personal body graph. 

The neutrino forecast is just a weather report, no matter what the weather an individual's strategy and authority is the correct choice to have an authentic experience regardless of the program. As Ra Uru Hu said "Whatever the weather is going to be, you have your neutrino umbrella. As long as you are experimenting with your strategy and authority, the weather is for your pleasure."       

We begin the week with one channel definition due to the transit field. With Jupiter in the 64 and the North Node in the 47 brings us the Channel of Abstraction: A design of Mental Activity mixed with Clarity until June 7th. The energy of this channel is about creating something new out of something old. This is about abstract thought being brought into the collective consciousness through the arts, philosophy, history and culture. This is wonderful energy for telling stories about our experiences that inspire others, but brings confusion when used to resolve our own issues. The defined head center brings the pressure to think about things that don't matter, to those without. The defined Ajna center can influence people to believe they are certain of something, when they are not.

We are going to look at the Sun's Rave I'Ching line values daily because 70% of the neutrinos we receive come from the Sun and as Ra said in "Living with the Program: The Lines of the Day" when talking about these daily shifts of line values, he said "We can always take advantage of the themes of the day." If your strategy and authority does not lead you in that direction, you can always notice how the program is affecting others in your environment. So let's get started.

April 24th begins with the Sun in the 3rd line of the 27th hexagram. The Sun in the 27.3 is "Greed: The obsession with having much more than one needs. exalted: Here, the psychological manifestation. The obsession and dependency on knowing what is hidden. The secret policeman. The power derived in having more than one needs, whether sexually, mentally, or materially. detrimented: Mundane and wholly without redeeming value, greed, a lust that inevitably cripples. The lust for power to get more than one needs." The third line is the Martyr, with a trial and error process, bonds made and broken, and a system of discovery by figuring out what doesn’t work. Things bump into you on a third line day, so be careful on the roads. Be careful of swinging doors or swinging elbows. This is a day where we might have bonds made or broken, or feel like we’re on trial. It's a good material day. A good day to do business and work on the material plane, but you also have to be careful because things can go wrong. Things that lead to discovery. Later on the 24th the Sun moves into the 4th line of the 27th hexagram at 9:58 am EDT, and is described as "Generosity: The natural sharing of attained abundance. exalted: Magnanimous and qualitative sharing. The gift of rewarding those who are deserving. The power and strength to share generously. detrimented: Indiscriminate sharing. The potential loss of power and strength through indiscriminate sharing." Fourth line days are the Opportunist and change from inward perspective to looking outward, from personal to trans-personal, with the themes of friendship, of companionship, of networking. Fourth line days are great for social interaction. Also on the 24th Neptune moves from the 37, to the 63 which is very significant. Neptune turns retrograde in June, and will back into 37 on August 4th of this year. Neptune brings the energy to seek freedom from the limitations of having only a human experience that is based on ego and mind, to break through into realizing we are so much more than our bodies and minds. Neptune dissolves boundaries and feelings of separateness. This can be positive as self realization and illumination, or negative as self deception and illusion, and with Neptune we often don’t know which is which. Neptune brings a veil. It doesn't let us see what things are all about. Neptune will trap you if you try to get behind the veil. This is where we learn surrender. Operating correctly by following your strategy and authority is surrender. In the 63, Neptune is bringing a veil to "Doubt (After completion); In the spiral of life, all ends are beginnings." Neptune in the 1st line of the 63, is "Composure: exalted: The quality of personality where achievement is accepted with equanimity and where continued development is allowed to take its natural course. Acceptance of achievement but doubt whether continued development will take place. detrimented: The tendency in achievement to immediately seek new goals at the risk of destabilizing what has already been accomplished. The pressure in achievement to still doubt one's capacities and to immediately seek new goals." As an aside Uranus moved into the 42, last week and already been a very powerful transit, almost immediately upon entering the gate of Growth that comes from bringing things to a close, I noticed people experiencing unexpected (Uranus) endings (42). Uranus turns retrograde on July 29th and will return to 51st gate of Shock on December 7th 2016.

 

On the 25th the Sun moves into the 5th line of the 27th hexagram at 9:05 am EDT. The Sun in the 27.5 is "The executor: The ability to distribute effectively the resources of others. exalted: Either, the gifted and principled agent of distribution or the good sense and ability to find one. The power and strength to care for the resources of others. detrimented: A restrictive nature that hampers distribution or the seeking of advice and assistance. Weakness and the risk of loss of power restrict caring." The Fifth line is about projection, first positive followed by negative. It’s the Heretic. Positive projection being “they could do this…”, “they’re the perfect person to do…” whatever is the projection, and if the person does not do it, can’t do it, does not want to do it, they do not meet the expectation, then the projection changes from positive to negative, the person gets punished, the heretic gets tied to the stake. The fifth line day is heretical, a day of suspicion, also a day of universalization. Something can leak out and spread very rapidly like a virus. YouTube video where suddenly there's millions of viewings or a facebook post that goes viral. But there is a great deal of suspicion and paranoia on a 5th line day, which impacts the nature of relationships. Of course if they are projecting on you and you are not meeting their expectations, and they want to punish you, that’s not paranoia. Seduction is also a theme of a fifth line day.

On the 26th the Sun moves into the 6th line of the 27th hexagram at 8:12 am EDT. The Sun is exalted in the 27.6 as "Wariness: A protection against an abuse of generosity. exalted: A practical and realistic approach to nurturing, whose appropriateness is guided by feelings and instinct. The power and strength to be realistic in one's capacities to care and nurture. detrimented: A tendency to over-suspiciousness. The power of suspicion in limiting the expression of caring." The sixth line is on the roof of the hexagram. It’s the Role Model. When I think about being on the roof of a building, I don’t tend to look at the building, rather what’s around the building, what’s in the neighborhood, what’s down the road, what’s on the horizon… Ra said sixth line days are about "not to get stuck with your head in the clouds because you'll end up having something bang into your kneecaps."  A day where there is a real lack of focus of what's going on around you, because folks are looking beyond their immediate environment. Like a 3rd line day there are certain dangers. Not seeing the car coming. Not seeing a bill coming. Also on the 26th Venus moves from the 42 leaving Uranus, to the 3. In HD, Venus is very powerful and deeply misunderstood according to Ra. Venus is about values, morality, natural law in which we deal with the other and the consequences of the world around us. What disturbs you at a moral level? Your design and personality Venuses tell you the moral dilemma you're going to work with in your life. If you do not act with moral clarity, Venus can be unkind in its retribution. Venus is in the 3rd Gate of "Ordering (Difficulty at the beginning); The fundamental challenge of initiation is to transcend confusion and establish order," and Venus in the 3.1 of "Synthesis: Difficulties can be only overcome when all pertinent factors have been analyzed. exalted: The understanding that confusion is natural and must always exist before clarity can be achieved. An innate knowing that order will emerge from confusion. detrimented: The reliance on intellect at the expense of intuition can lead to unnecessary frustration. The inability to know that order will emerge and the drive to find this knowing elsewhere."

On the 27th the Sun moves from the 27th, to the 24th, and Earth moves from the 28th to the 44th Hexagram, and the Gate of "Alertness (Coming to Meet); The success of any interaction is based on the absence of any preconditions." This shift happens at 7:29 am EDT, with the Sun in the 24th gate of "Rationalizing (Returning); The natural and spontaneous process of transformation and renewal," and the Sun is exalted in the 24.1 of "The sin of omission: Transformation that requires retrogressive periods before renewal can take place. exalted: The will to triumph and in this case the faith that the end justifies the means. Inspiration that demands a reassessment of past thinking before a rational concept can be established." As we move from the 27 to the 24, we enter the gate of Rationalizing... Return. This is an individual Ajna center gate that points to the 61st gate of "Inner Truth" in the head center. This channels the inspiration to return to our own truth. Inner truth means it is only our truth, if we express it to someone else it might not me their truth. Truth after all is subjective, like beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder. I think if you are going to express your inner truth, it needs to have a practical application to really be embraced by others. This is a very loud acoustic gate of rationalizing. Going over a concept again and again and again. This being an Ajna center gate, there is no absolute certainty about "truth." When we add in the polarity of the 44th gate of alertness, with the possibility of material success, the possibility to transmit, the possibility for wellbeing, and the possibility of being aware of being manipulated. As a splentic gate it's about the realization connected to the form, so the return to inner truth needs to support the form to be of value to the tribe. The 24th hexagram is the final gate of the quarter of Initiation: purpose fulfilled through mind. Return brings the mental dimension to the cross of the four ways. And of course no one has "mind" as an inner authority. Human Design gives us each our own individual strategy and authority to operate as ourselves, which takes away the mind as a power for self guidance. Which, in turn, empowers the mind to be the wonderful tool it was meant to be, as a gift to others and not for our own self determination. Without this knowledge, the 24 will continue its questioning repeatedly. If you have the 24, following your strategy and authority can bring you, among other things, peace of mind. The first line is the investigator. When the Sun is in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line days people look inward and are absorbed with their own process. Lower trigram is a personal process. The theme of a first line day is a fear or anxiety that needs to be investigated. A day to study, not to act. Day to look into things, not jump. Good day to deal with things you don't understand, can't make sense of or don't know.

On the 28th the Sun moves into the 2nd line of the 24th hexagram at 6:29 am EDT. The Sun in the 24.2 is described as "Recognition: exalted: The proper and spontaneous adaptation to new forms. The potential gift of conceptualizing spontaneously. detrimented: The vanity to see transformation as a personal achievement rather than a socially supported or natural phenomenon. The mental vanity that the gift of conceptualizing spontaneously can produce." The second line is the Hermit. Second line days everyone is waiting for something. Waiting to be called. Called for their natural talents. People are stuck in their own trip. Not a great day to have a party because no one will want to come.

On the 29th the Sun moves into the 3rd line of the 24th hexagram, at 5:39 am EDT. The Sun in the 24.3 is "The addict: The powerful attraction of regressive forms. exalted: The ultimate, though difficult, triumph over regression. The difficult but possible task of overcoming irrationality. detrimented: Addiction and regression legitimatized by success. Irrationality maintained and legitimatized by success." The third line is the Martyr, with a trial and error process, bonds made and broken, and a system of discovery by figuring out what doesn’t work. Things bump into you on a third line day, so be careful on the roads. Be careful of swinging doors or swinging elbows. This is a day where we might have bonds made or broken, or feel like we’re on trial. It's a good material day. A good day to do business and work on the material plane, but you also have to be careful because things can go wrong. Things that lead to discovery.

On the 30th the Sun moves into the 4th line of the 24th hexagram at 4:49 am EDT, and is described as "The hermit: Transformation that can only take place in isolation.  exalted: The discipline and focus that assures renewal. Aloneness enriches the potential for rational thought. detrimented: The tendency in isolation to live in a fantasy world. Aloneness encourages the potential of illusion or delusion." Fourth line days are the Opportunist and change from inward perspective to looking outward, from personal to trans-personal, with the themes of friendship, of companionship, of networking. Fourth line days are great for social interaction.

    So no matter what energies are conditioning you during the week, remember this experience is about being a passenger riding in a vehicle driven by the magnetic monopole. So enjoy the scenery, and let the vehicle take you where you need to go, through using your strategy and authority. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

Astrology and Mayan Tzolkin for April 23rd to May 5th 2016

This is the "Care and feeding of a New World Age" report for Gregorian date of April 23rd 2016 and 1 – Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with Mercury turning retrograde, and Venus entering Taurus.

    April 23rd is 1 – Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm carries the themes of rain, wind, lightning, giver of life, the cycles of the moon, the feminine, the warmth of home while inclement weather rages outside, purification, nourishment, compassion, emotions, seeing challenges as blessings, healing through the release of ego, clouds pregnant with rain followed by a flash of lightning and the release of the storm that cleanses the earth to prepare for new consciousness. This thirteen day period would be an important time to focus on what is truly important in life and hold loosely those things that are a distraction to your essence. Allow the waters of the storm trecena to wash away the false pride and rigid thinking to create fertile ground for the growth of your integrated and authentic self. 

    Since we begin a new Gregorian month during this trecena, I thought I'd discuss the metaphysics of the upcoming month. May is the fifth month and with the digits for 2016, when added together we get 14, then we add 1 + 4 to tell us that this is a fourteen/five month in numerology. Basic numerology reduces numbers to one through nine, so when we think about that arc the 5 represents a time of major shifts and breakthroughs as the 5 represents the peak of the numerological cycle such as reaching the top of the mountain and having a view of the upcoming descent down the other side of the 9 month cycle. Jupiter turns direct on the 9th which brings us opportunities that are the result of our review of how we are of service and how we have been organized over the past four months. Mercury turns direct on the 22nd supports the implementation of a new direction based on the information and experiences we were exposed to in April. A five month brings new opportunities, options, and choices through our creativity. The fourteen/five combination are represented by the Art/Temperance and the Hierophant in the Tarot cards, which is about integration of opposites to discover the ground that transcends them both, which we bring forth as teachers, who learn from what we share and the experience of those who honor us by implementing our guidance in their lives. This Ken Wilbur quote from No Boundaries provides a description of the Art/Temperance archetype, "The point is...to unify and harmonizes opposites both positive and negative, by discovering the ground that transcends them both." From the Course in Miracles comes this quote for the Hierophant, "'As you teach so will you learn.' If that is true, and it is true indeed, don't forget that what you teach is teaching you." So this May represents a breakthrough on many levels including integrating opposites and learning through teaching.

     Before I get into the daily energy for 1 – Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm, on the 23rd all the planets appear to be moving forward from our vantage point on Earth, except Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto which appear to move retrograde or in reverse motion. Remember the themes of retrograde planets are the review the past, re-evaluate, reminisce and we can see these themes being played out. Mars representing drive and aggression, is in Sagittarius. Mars will retrograde back into Scorpio, the sign of its traditional rulership on May 27th. Retrograde Mars in Sagittarius has us reviewing our drives related to our beliefs, and in Scorpio the ethics of our actions are reviewed. Retrograde Mars can cause frustration as our energy to get things done is retarded, which can lead to irritability and aggression. Jupiter was the king of the gods, and the planet is about good fortune, opportunities, faith, religion, beliefs and expansion. Jupiter is in Virgo and Virgo is about organization, health, and service. Mostly what I find with Jupiter retrograde, as with any retrograde cycle there is a review of the past, and with Jupiter what gets reviewed are missed opportunities. Retrograde Saturn in Sagittarius delays success until perseverance and patience are learned. Sagittarius themes are travel, education, adventure, expanding our horizons, and planning for upcoming experiences. Saturn brings the details to the grand overview of Sagittarius. Saturn retrograde is a task master that demands we take responsibility to review our beliefs while in Sagittarius. Pluto the planet of transformation through a death and rebirth cycle, is retrograde, which is about reviewing the past, and is a time of releasing anything from the past that is a burden to our new path. Pluto represents death, completion, and in Capricorn, the breakdown of structures, to bring about transformation.     

    The big change in the Storm trecena is Mercury changing directions, as it moves retrograde on the 28th and direct on May 22nd, so the end of the month would be a good time to avoid signing contracts or other legal papers, making any major purchases, or even taking a new job. If you can postpone these types of activities the terms will be much clearer after Mercury is moving direct. That may seem impossible, so if you can avoid these activities a few days before and after Mercury changing directions on the 28th and May 22nd, when the energy is at its most potent, would be beneficial. Mercury retrogrades force us to slow down and pay more attention to our lives by making us focus on the details of our daily experience. When looking at a retrograde cycle of any of the personal or inner planets, it provides information about a correction to our present course. During this report period we have Mercury traveling through the first stage of the retrograde process since 4/14. There are two important points to be aware of in looking at the cycle. We look at the point where the planet appears to move backwards and the point where it appears to move forward again. The first stage represents the shadow time between passing 14 degrees Taurus, the point where the planet will eventually begin moving forward again and the point where the planet slows, stops, and begins moving in reverse, 23 degrees Taurus. During the first stage we receive information about needing to adjust our direction. The second stage is the actual retrograde phase and is a time to watch the events that occur related to the information received in the 1st stage. The 3rd stage begins when the planet is moving forward again until crossing the line where it originally turned retrograde. During the 3rd stage we move forward with a revision to our previous course. We entered the 1st stage for Mercury on April 14th, so from then until the 28th, we receive information about an adjustment that needs to be made in our lives. Mercury is retrograde from 4/28 at 23 Taurus until 5/22 at 14 Taurus which will be the time when we will notice events that shift our thinking, and from May 22nd to June 8th, we are in the 3rd stage where we implement the change in direction from the awareness gained through experiencing this process. 

    If you look at the house of your astrological chart that contains 14 to 23 degrees of Taurus, you can find the theme where you will experience revisions, reviews and rethinking of the characteristics represented by that house. For me it is the twelfth house of secrets, sorrows and self-undoing, the House of Karma, so I expect this cycle to provide new information about completions to prepare for new beginnings. No matter where the Mercury retrograde occurs in your chart, this often leads to changing choices, goals, and directions. In the world, look for the themes of completion through intellectual review of the past particularly related to communications about topics like dependability, security, wealth, love, stubbornness, patience, and being practical when Mercury moves through Taurus. In Taurus Mercury slows down communication and stabilizes thinking to be more practical and constructive. All the remaining Mercury retrogrades in 2016 will be in earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and finally Capricorn.

    At the end of April, Mercury slows down and turns retrograde at 23 degrees Taurus on the 28th. When a planet slows down to a stop from our perspective here on earth, that planet is considered to be at the peak of its power and Mercury being at the peak of its power reminds me that the Greek god Hermes, who the Romans renamed to Mercury, was also the trickster god. He was the messenger of the Gods and if you weren't on his good side you might not get your message or it might be altered to mean something different than was intended. In mythology the trickster is a god, goddess, woman, man, animal or spirit that creates mischief by playing tricks and acting outside of the accepted rules of their community. Joseph Campbell expressed that "Almost all non-literate mythology has a trickster-hero of some kind. . . . And there’s a very special property in the trickster: he always breaks in, just as the unconscious does, to trip up the rational situation. He’s both a fool and someone who’s beyond the system. And the trickster represents all those possibilities of life that your mind hasn’t decided it wants to deal with. The mind structures a lifestyle, and the fool or trickster represents another whole range of possibilities. He doesn’t respect the values that you’ve set up for yourself, and smashes them. . . . The fool is the breakthrough of the absolute into the field of controlled social orders." And that is a great description for Mercury retrograde. It also contains a formula for confronting a much more powerful foe. Being cunning over fighting on their terms.

     Ok let's look at the daily vibrational energy for this trecena.

April 23rd 2016 is 1 – Cauac "cow-ack" or Storm: unity experienced through recognizing the gifts in adversity in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar, with the Scorpion Moon the harmony with Pluto and opposed by Mercury bring the environmental emotional energy that changes from having deep emotions finding their way to the surface and felt on a profound level, to later some feeling a real conflict between feelings and reason and others having fruitful expressions of their deeper awareness either internally or with another.

The 24th is 2 – Ahau "ah-how" or Sun: duality experienced through honoring the wisdom and memory of our ancestors, while the Sagittarius Moon makes no angles, which does not favor major decisions or purchases, but is good to use for resting to assimilate this latest round of energy and experiences.

April 25th is 3 –  Imix "e-meesh" or Crocodile: taking action through nurturing new beginnings, while the Moon in Sagittarius merges with Mars and Saturn, and is challenged by Neptune and Jupiter, activating the Mutable T-Square with the energy moving from experiencing irritable moods and critical communications, to later daydreams and fantasies feeling more important than reality, followed by benevolent and generous feelings for those in our immediate environment, and finally wanting to be alone in our thoughts and feelings.

The 26th is 4 – Ik "eek" or Wind: stability through communication, while the Sagittarius Moon finds support from Uranus and Venus which shifts from having the impulse to engage in activities that make us feel more alive, to later enjoying pleasant feelings and social interactions.

April 27th is 5 – Akbal "awk-bol" or Night: empowerment through contemplating the stars, with the Capricorn Moon supported by the Sun and Jupiter, and in harmony with Neptune which changes from feeling a sense of inner harmony which is mirrored in the outside world, to later having a greater sensitivity to others' emotions with possible psychic impressions for those who are open, and finally people having a pleasant sense of well-being.

The 28th is 6 – Kan "con" or Seed or Lizard: being in the flow through planting seeds and making new connections, while Mercury turns retrograde at 23 degrees Taurus. Even folks who don't follow astrology are aware of Mercury's retrograde effect on communication, technology and travel. This begins a time that shifts our review of information below the surface, with a focus on Mercury in Taurus slows down communication and stabilizes thinking to be more practical and constructive. From the 28th to May 22nd would be a good time to avoid signing contracts or other legal papers, making any major purchases, or even taking a new job. If you can postpone these types of activities the terms will be much clearer after Mercury is moving direct. The retrograde cycle provides information about a change or correction in our cosmic course. In the context of the retrograde cycle I think of Mercury retracing it's steps back in Taurus to gather information that will be needed to support the tasks and projects that move forward during the peak numerological five month of May when Mercury turns direct. Also on the 28th the Moon in Capricorn merges with Pluto, is challenged Uranus, and finds support from Mercury, which moves from having more intense moods rising to the surface from deep in our psyches, followed by folks acting hasty and jumping to conclusions that may not be correct, and finally being more in touch with our feelings and able to share them with others.

April 29th is 7 – Chicchan "chee-chan" or Serpent: reflection through being flexible, with the last Quarter Moon challenged by Venus and the Sun, and in harmony Mars, which shifts from having pleasant energy for being with the others we want to know better, to later stimulating the desire to work independently from others, and finally we encounter challenges to our daily routines.

The 30th is 8 – Cimi "key-mee" or Transformation: balance through releasing what no longer serves us, while Venus enters Taurus which is beneficial because Taurus is more affectionate and sensual than Aries and is one of the signs Venus rules. Being an earth sign there is the realization about the damage a bad relationship can bring, so there is also a caution about entering into love too quickly. This could be a passionate energy that wants to please the significant other or lover. This is also about enjoying the arts and music along with fine food that nourishes body and soul over the next 3 plus weeks. The shift of Venus from Aries to Taurus favors comfort with soothing calm social interactions. Also on the 30th the Aquarius Moon harmonizes with Saturn and Uranus, and is challenged by Mercury, which changes from realistic expectations through being calm and reflective, followed by pleasant yet restless feelings craving emotional excitement to do something outside the daily routine, and finally has folks being critical in their communications particularly with the people they have intimate relationships with.

May 1st is 9 – Manik "man-eek" or Deer: patience experienced through being of service to others, with the Sun sextiles Neptune which lowers the demands of our egos allowing us to sense other people's energy and circumstances and makes us more willing to help out. This could be positive for fund raising for a charitable organization. This also encourages spiritual and mystical knowledge and experiences through spending time alone in a meditative state, particularly given that energy for physical activities will be lowered. Also on the 1st the Pisces Moon harmonizes the Venus, and is challenged by Mars which moves from wanting to be with friends and the people we love, to later people feeling irritable which could lead to needless disputes.

The 2nd is 10 – Lamat "la-maught" or Star or Rabbit: manifestation through being grateful for abundant relationships, with Mercury sextile Chiron brings understanding to and communication about our healing processes. Also on the 2nd the Moon in Pisces merges with Neptune, harmonizes with the Sun and Pluto, is opposed by Jupiter, and challenged by Saturn, which brings a busy emotional day which shifts from feelings of empathy for those around us, including the possibility of clairvoyance and telepathic experiences for those of us who are sensitive by nature, to feelings of inner and outer equanimity, followed by feelings of generosity, and later people feeling lonely or isolated, and finally experiencing deep emotions on a profound level.

May 3rd is 11 –  Muluc "moo-luke" or Offering: resolution through appreciating creation, while the Sun trines Jupiter, which is one of the most positive transits bringing enthusiasm and optimism, it can have the effect of people feeling lazy, but I would encourage folks to use this energy to accomplish something good for yourself. This is a day to project positive energy into the environment that can have some influence on your affairs and accomplishing something you desire. Some will see this as "dumb luck", but this transit has its roots in something that was done in the recent past. This is great energy for making changes in your life without feeling a sense of loss. This is also good for studying something of interest to you, particularly subjects that help us to see the world as a whole. Also on the 3rd the Moon in Pisces harmonizes with Mercury which has people feeling chatty and having numerous conversations.

The 4th is 12 – Oc "awk" or Dog: understanding through enjoying family and friends, while the Moon in Aries finds support from Mars and Saturn, and is challenged by Pluto which changes from feeling a little more confident than usual with the ability to assert ourselves in a positive manner, to later having a sober realistic view of life, and finally having the compulsion to act in ways that may not be good for us in the long run.

May 5th is 13 – Chuen "shoe-in" or Monkey: movement to the next stage through creating something new, with the Moon in Aries merging with Uranus which may have people feeling impulsive and acting rashly, with moods changing quickly and unexpectedly.

    So no matter what energies are affecting you during this 1 Storm trecena, take some time to be in the flow of the planet by being in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset, communing with the stars, being conscious of the moment through introspection, meditation or being with someone you love. Every day is a blessing no matter what dramas beckon to distract us. We are all giving the performance of a life time on this world stage, just take some time to observe the play as well as act your part. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

    Thank you for checking out New World Birth. The next segment of "Care and feeding of a New World Age" will be on May 6th for 1 – Eb "eb" or Road, with the Taurus New Moon, and Jupiter turning direct. You can check us out on Facebook, YouTube and the Mayan Majix website. I encourage you to share this information as videos or text as widely as you choose. As always I invite you to contact me at newworldbirth@yahoo.com if you have any questions or wish to schedule a reading. I am providing readings and wish to make this service available to the greatest amount of folks, so I’ve created three options with three levels of compensation. If you've been thinking about getting a reading, please contact me, as I would like to provide you a reading during these uncertain times. You will need to be able to either call me in Maine in the U.S.A. or connect with Skype to receive your reading. We are also accepting donations to keep these reports freely available. As always I am blessed that you've taken the time to connect with my passion for these ancient mysteries and their application to our journey during this incarnation. The light in me honors the light in you… Namaste – In Lak’ech - <3
