Why do we sometimes show such cruelty to those we care about the most? Saturn at the midpoint of Venus-Pluto highlights the darker sides of dependency and the destructive potential of power in our closest bonds. Exercising excessive dominance upon others forces us to confront our shadows, our deepest fears, and dreadful distrust of others, as we desperately try to control the most unfathomable aspects of love.
Things are still super-intense, and we know why, but it’s absurd that nobody can cut through the vanilla slice deep enough to admit it. In just a few hours, at our regular bus stop, we must discuss the current dilemma, a complexity which occurs as a result of this horrid planetary bundle in our morning skies:
ON TODAY’S EPISODE OF COSMIC BUS, IN PLAIN ENGLISH, WE DISCUSS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FOLLOWING NEW MOON PHENOMENA (AND HOW THEY LEAVE US FEELING):
• On Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at 03:23 UTC, the New Moon resets at 18°02′.
• Venus, the ruler of this lunation, is also in at 10°40′, and is largely unaspected.
• Jupiter at 25°47′ and Uranus at 22°47′ drift apart after peaking at 21°50′ on April 21, 2024.
• Venus and Jupiter almost perfectly align at the midpoint of the New Moon, off by just +0º11′.
• The Sun and Moon are within 7º of activating the Jupiter/Uranus midpoint.
• Mercury, now direct at 21°55′, aligns again with Chiron at 21°05′ and is approaching a conjunction with Eris at 25°03′.
• Mars, the ruler of , will stand at 05°45′.
• The North Node at 15°21′ aligns precisely with the Mars/Eris midpoint.
• Neptune, at the critical 29th degree of its home sign , is exactly at the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint, influenced by sextiles.
• During this lunation, all planets except Pluto span between 17°13′ (Saturn) and 25°47′ (Jupiter).
• Saturn has just initiated the first of three semisquares to Pluto at 02°06′ retrograde on May 6, 2024.
