Mars goes retrograde on May 11, and stays that way until July 20. Mars is very powerful during that time period. Tempers will be very short as we feel this Mars energy on Earth. Then we will have a lunar eclipse on July 5, with the Sun on 13 degrees Cancer, and the moon on 13 degrees Capricorn. The Sun will be affecting Washington, D.C. on this eclipse day.
Events always get hot and heavy during a full moon eclipse.
In most of May the Sun will be moving through the sign of Taurus. It's interesting how Astrology works. Taurus rules money and Gemini rules transportation, communication, writing, neighbors, and our intellect. It is an air sign and is ruled by Mercury, who is the winged messenger. People experienced a lot of neck pain as Saturn moved through Taurus.
