If April was about enduring the harsh lessons of love and repaying karmic contracts (☊ -♀/♄), where the spiritual quality of our bonds with others was tested by the cold realities of duty and purpose, and where emotional restraint—or even outright denial—delivered a sort of payback, then the month of May thrusts us into a distinctly different but no less challenging terrain.
Yeah, April’s emphasis on loyalty and the ability to endure some deprivations, the excruciating torment of bearing the weight of isolation, sometimes forced us to question whether our heart’s intentions still held true—especially when the pressure was on—or if the burden was simply too heavy to keep going. The pall of sobriety is heavy, stripping all colour from the emotional climate. Many of us faced rigid boundaries, the fear of losing, jealousy, and separations that tested our capacity for fidelity and self-control. Such a heavy atmosphere, although often uncomfortable, blessed us with clarity: those who were full of shit got called out, illusions were shattered, unspoken tensions came to light, and one either chose to alter the terms and stay the course or drop everything and walk away. Merciless kindness, if you like, but that’s the power of love. It can be cruel sometimes, when it hits its limits.
The month of May inaugurates the first of three Chiron/Eris conjunctions over the coming year, popping the lid off Pandora’s first aid kit of raw wounds and shamefully uncomfortable truths, unleashing all kinds of primordial screams—both personal and collective. Where April demanded stoic reflection and resilience, May sees us hurtling towards blunt encounters that expose us to a raft of repressed anger and unhealed complex traumas.
These pains are not new. They go back years, spanning many generations, yet have only entered our collective consciousness in recent times. Chiron, the wounded-healer consciousness, was discovered in 1977; Eris, the awareness of missing out, exclusion, and marginalisation, in 2004. Together, they force old wounds out of the shadows, compelling us to acknowledge the raw, unmet needs that have festered for centuries and can no longer remain buried. In their combined agony, we find ourselves confronting the strange new awareness that every unseen wound demands remedy, every perceived injustice its retribution—and that denying it only deepens the collective scar.
The sore of indignation beneath the moral and ethical bandage has turned septic; the decay of not being acknowledged is not only painful, but it’s also starting to seep its rancid stench over everything—where hidden, ignored grievances collide with the need for authenticity, forcing us to deal with systemic neglect after growing tired of grappling with deep-seated discord without directly addressing the problem.
Such delicate cosmic conditions can feel combustible: conflicts that have long simmered under the surface may erupt everywhere this month, yet therein lies the potential for transformative growth. Those ready to expose personal or societal grievances might tap into an unexpected power to break out of toxic cycles, provided they resist the urge to lash out blindly. Whistleblower events in the next week (leading up to 7 May, ☿/⚷/⚨) will ignite fierce controversy. Alternatively, increased evasion or denial of obvious complaints merely festers, creating a breeding ground for bitterness, hostility, and unrest in mid-to-late May.
Simultaneously, Saturn’s first foray into Aries (25 May) adds another layer of intensity, reinforcing themes of blind ambition and endurance alongside self-willed defiance. While Saturn in Aries can yield industrious individuals who persevere against all odds, in the sign of its fall, it also stirs a nasty desire to dominate or act in isolation. A prudent approach is to harness its discipline without succumbing to selfish impulses, forging a fresh start from a position of measured confidence rather than raw aggression. However, with all these forces overlapping in Aries—April’s stark realisations that we are largely alone, May’s raw honesty via Chiron–Eris, and Saturn’s bristly step to join Neptune in early Aries—we will be challenged to stand firm without flinching, confront unresolved matters, and reshape our path with integrity, not outright anarchy or restitution.
