This month’s planet transits discussed by Marga; “It is a varied and complex month, not promising peace, but opening the door to real possibilities for negotiation.”
You ARE, and you are conscious, and you are full of love, and you are wasting it – a great gift will be wasted. You are not using it, you are not using the opportunity to grow. The more you grow, the greater the gifts that can become available to you. This is just the beginning, this is just the alpha; and you don’t know what the omega is.

If April was a dynamic month full of turning points, May comes in even more intense and action-driven. The changes do not involve only the faster-moving planets, but they also significantly engage the slower ones and the Lunar Nodes, reshaping the tone of the collective energetic field.
Uranus shifted on April 27 and its influence will continue to unfold not just throughout this month but for roughly a year. It has entered Gemini, quickly crossing the final degree of Gate 8, Contribution, before settling into Gate 20, The Present. This marks a substantial change: from a creative expression seeking recognition to a force of immediate action, more direct and potentially more disruptive, especially given how easily Gate 20 can connect with Gate 34, Power, activating high-impact dynamics.
Let’s now look at these changes in detail.
On May 4, Saturn leaves Gate 17, Following (Opinions), and enters Gate 21, Control. This transition brings attention to resource management, authority, and material organization, with possible concrete developments and acquisitions, especially for those who carry Gate 45, Gathering Together, in their Design.
On May 7, Pluto, steady in Gate 41, Imagination, starts its retrograde motion. Its influence turns inward, emphasizing a deep revision of desires and of what has already been envisioned, rather than pushing forward.
On May 13, Jupiter moves from Gate 53, New Beginnings, into Gate 62, Expressed Details, shifting the focus from opening cycles to possibly articulating and understanding them.
On May 14, the Lunar Nodes leave the 37–40 axis, and dissolve the corresponding Channel of Community, and move onto the 55–59 axis, between Gate 55, Abundance, and Gate 59, Intimacy. This marks the end of a prolonged phase in which the Nodes defined a channel, bringing tribal dynamics and strong tensions to the forefront, even globally. They now return to a more typical configuration where no channel is formed. Their influence shifts back to expressing itself as a seasonal atmosphere and an evolutionary direction, rather than as a direct trigger of events.
On May 23, Neptune leaves Gate 25, Innocence, and enters Gate 17, Following (Opinions), where it will remain beyond the end of the month, bringing a subtler, more inspired quality to thought and mental structures.
Now let’s move to the channels defined this month.
From May 1 to 6, Channel of Initiation, 25–51, is activated by Neptune in Gate 25, Innocence, and Mars in Gate 51, Arousing (Thunder). This configuration brings awakening energy into action, with the potential for sudden changes of direction which nevertheless arise from a deep inner perception.
From May 7 to 12, Mars in Gate 42, Increase, together with Jupiter in Gate 53, New Beginnings, reactivates the Channel of Cycles, 53–42. Here the energy shifts in quality: it is no longer centered on healing what remained unresolved, as it was with Chiron, but moves into a more active and forceful drive that supports new beginnings and new chapters, energizing what is ready to start.
From May 8 to 12, the Channel of Money, 21–45, is activated by Saturn in Gate 21, Control, and Venus in Gate 45, Gathering Together. The emphasis shifts strongly toward material matters, more deliberate resource management, value, and distribution, with tangible outcomes both personally and collectively.
From May 9 to 14, Sun and Earth, respectively in Gate 23, Assimilation, and Gate 43, Breakthrough, activate the Channel of Structuring, 23–43. This is a channel of creative expression and communication, where insights, however profound, do not always find a form that is clear or ready to be shared, given the somewhat deaf and at times self-contained nature of this channel.
From May 15 to 20, there is a gap with no channels defined in the collective field. This is a meaningful pause in the rhythm of the month, a breathing space where energies can reshape and reorganize. An exception occurs on May 18, when for a few hours the Channel of Money, 21–45, is reactivated through Saturn and the Moon, briefly bringing attention back to material dynamics.
From May 21 to 26, Sun and Earth, respectively in Gate 20, The Present, and Gate 34, Power, activate the Channel of Keeping Busy, 20–34. This is further amplified by Uranus in Gate 20. Here, as mentioned above, the energy becomes immediate and powerful, capable of translating directly into action and tangible impact.
From May 23 through the end of the month and beyond, Channel 17–62, The Organizer, is defined by Neptune in Gate 17, Following (Opinions), and Jupiter in Gate 62, Expressed Details. This channel brings logical structure to thought, along with the ability to articulate and organize ideas, making communicable what was previously more diffuse.
From May 25 to 27, the Channel of Money, 21–45, is activated again, this time through Saturn in Gate 21 and Mercury in Gate 45. Attention returns to practical decisions and resource management, now with a more communicative and negotiating element to it.
From May 27 to 31, the Channel of Emoting, 39–55, is activated by the North Node in Gate 55, Abundance, and Venus in Gate 39, Provocation. The month closes with a strong emotional activation, yet softened and harmonized by Venus. Deep themes may surface, including karmic ones, but they find space for expression and a potential for resolution.
The month ends on a gentle note. It is a varied and complex month, not promising peace, but opening the door to real possibilities for negotiation and to more grounded and sensible considerations, rather than the illogical and ego-driven impulses that strongly marked the previous month.
Enjoy the flowers and the Spring.
