May 2015 -planet earth astrology

May 4 Full Moon is a Taurus-Scorpio event with Jupiter in Leo at exact right angle to the Sun and the Moon -all three at 13 degrees in fixed signs

Taurus is the physical, material plane of nature, objects and money
Scorpio is the metaphysical dimension, the energy level of reality known well to physicists and psychics alike even if from different viewpoints
Always the Taurus-Scorpio challenge is to come to terms with both aspects of reality - the world of the 5 senses and the world of the supersenses, extrasensory perception.
The contemporary world has veered way too much into the indulgences of the physical senses, but the transitory nature of sensory objects generates perpetual emptiness - "I can't get no satisfaction" is the voice of the hedonist, never managing to sustain the pleasures of sensations and objects -especially the folly of greed.

Taurus is an accumulating sign- hence the risk of greed - eating, buying, possessing. 
Scorpio is about power that transcends the physical -beyond objects, beyond money, beyond mere sensation: it is an inner power, not one based on outer indicators like real estate, clothes or cars.
Inner security is achievable through Scorpio -not through Taurus.
The evolved Scorpio is prepared to symbolically die and be reborn many times in one lifetime, abandoning the crutches used by Taurus to imitate strength.
Scorpio can burn it all to live renewed.

With Jupiter so tightly linked to this May full moon, there is a challenging force in play.
Jupiter is grand scale and drama, expansive & exaggerating.
Leo is the heart energy and the force of fire being offset against the Taurus earth and Scorpio water.

In the lunar month timeframe from May 4:
Under the prevailing influences, some people may resort to property destruction by means of fire to punish others, or for monetary gain via insurance. Both unwise.
Some people will respond with huge passion and sensuality.
Big hearted energy will conflict with those with clenched hearts.
Personal security and rigid control versus generosity of spirit
Our planet will feel more scorched in relevant zones and more humid in others.
Traffic accidents loom large in the picture as well as travel chaos
Saturn opposite Mercury and Uranus-Pluto entangled give rise to many situations of destructive, dangerous, problematical effects affecting aviation and land transport in particular. Electronic failure in communications systems regulating any transport mechanism -trains will be equally likely to be included.

Communication systems down.
Failures, faults forecast to be prevalent affecting phone networks in places that resonate with the prevailing pattern.
All locations, like people, have their own energy blueprint, and so we differ and places differ in the degree to which effects are experienced. 
Direct communications person to person also affected -disagreement, incompatible viewpoints, general poor communication.
Bad energy for signing important documents.

Water balance/imbalance is highlighted -sustaining the longterm theme of "too much, too little" -different locations get what they are primed for (Neptune's contact with the lunar nodes)

Fire issues -  due to Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries involving both the Sun and Mars. Combustibility is enhanced.
Accidents involving fire. Fire/heat on the land.

Being still within the influence of the March and April eclipses -read those reports for further very significant background energies that remain in play.

Earth strain remains in effect
with the ongoing Uranus-Pluto influence -accentuated by Pluto's stationary situation in mid-April which has magnified seismic strain factors and foreshadowed the unfolding large quakes including most significantly Nepal (25 April) - astrology report here and diverse seismic unrest in places including New Zealand (especially April 24, May 4)

The role of Jupiter as a quake trigger is researched by many outside of the astrology community and so its May 4 connection to the Full Moon should be included as another strain indicator.

Further info for the second part of May and New Moon will be added

As always edits, updates, relevant news may be added
News reports relevant:
May 4 large quake southern NZ 
May 5 large quake PNG with tsunami alert
May 6 - fire in terminal at Rome's main airport
May 7 flash flooding Oklahoma
May 13 noticing many road incidents as expected and now a train event:

May 14 Also as indicated - traffic chaos -New Zealand's capital city Wellington almost entirely cut off from land transport due to an "extraordinary" amount of torrential rain, flooding, landslips on State Highway 1 causing traffic gridlock and affects on rail network
Fatal factory fire:


May 18 New Moon in Taurus 
is closely linked to Venus in Cancer and Venus is coming close to opposition with Pluto.
This combo first delivers a lunar month from 15 May where issues related to money, materialism, objects or things, possessions are a big topic in the collective mind.
The politics of austerity [Pluto in Capricorn] will loom even larger in the financial arena in diverse global locations as governments seek more and more ways to squeeze the lifeblood out of their citizens in order to fund an entirely dysfunctional system

The link from Taurus to Cancer implicates issues re domestic property including housing, the main capital asset and family or personal income will both arise significantly. As will problematical issues arise about the land or Earth itself and the horticulture and agriculture sectors.
[May17 update NZ govt announces a tax on property speculation. The govt will deliver the NZ Budget on May 21.
In resonant locations there will be more significant rainfall or other water related events including flooding, being swamped or sinking. [Neptune-Node]
A good month for comic entertainment [Mercury-Jupiter]

More serious problems surround travel -particularly involving masses of people -both in short distance or land travel by road or rail and in international travel contexts.
Sea travel is included in the risk scenario.
Aviation is also affected [Saturn-Mars] so the general picture means the high risk alerts from earlier in May remain in place regarding mass fatality transport related events -whether accidental [Uranus] or created by the will of destructive forces [Pluto].
Speed, fire, explosion are all energies ready to enter the mix.
The potential for acts of terror in the context of the transport of people en masse is implicated. 
Another potential mutation of the same energy is that cold-hearted political forces [Pluto in Capricorn] will refuse to take on a collective approach [Uranus] to the masses of evacuee citizens lost in no man's land, on the sea, in failing vessels, deprived of sanctuary, whilst aboard sinking ships.

Individual susceptibility to any prevailing energy pattern depends upon the resonance between your birth pattern [astrological birth chart] and the forces in existence on any particular day or time. If there are numerous strong matches or activations of birth potentials then the degree of separation between you and a related event becomes very small - and could be expressed as a "first degree close encounter", a direct experience - whereas a witness has a second degree encounter; the person watching the TV news has a 3rd degree encounter..and so on.  
Remember the May full moon effects noted at the start of this report are still empowered until the June full moon -so the Scorpio aspect of death and transformation remains strong in the public consciousness.
The mass bikie gang carnage in Waco Texas is one example
May 19 -NZ government Budget Week -Finance Minister makes a Taurean statement:
material [Taurus] hardship = the austerity aspect of Pluto in Capricorn.
[The government then gave a pretend increase to a very small targeted sector in the Welfare spend -the "increase" in many if not most cases to be offset by increased costs]

In May another Taurean example: New Zealand has to face issues re the international price for the commodity milk powder, impacting on farmer incomes & ultimately the NZ economy.
May 26 report re mass fatalities due to a heatwave up to 48C in India -an effect anticipated in the above report as "heat on the land"
May 26 Texas suffers extreme flooding - reflecting the too much water theme anticipated in this lunar month . Severe weather events also affected Oklahoma & Mexico
