1. In 22 Aries, Uranus is "in the Aries axis"-- and among the things that
that means is that public opinion and sentiment is "Uranus"! People want "a
change;" there's a nearly revolutionary fervor in many people. There's a
desire for social upheaval. It's a time for things to "be different."
Folks want a shift in rules and roles. "The way we've always done things"
has lost its appeal! Many people will be feeling increased tension; there's
"stress in the air;" it's harder to relax. It's as though there's increased
electricity in the atmosphere! This will be more true if you have radix or
directed points in 00* of the Cardinal signs; 22* of the Cardinal signs, 15*
of the Fixed signs and/or 07* of the Mutable signs (as all of these & their
close counterparts as part of what Uranian astrologers call "the Aries
Axis." And points therein can further detail what the (Uranus) upsets or
tension are all about.) For instance, come the 21st of May, the medical
asteroid, Hippokrates, will be in 00 Aries, the medical asteroid,
Podalarius, will be retrograde in 07 Sag, and the medical asteroid,
Askalaphus, will be in 15 Scorpio, Rx. This all means that many people will
be more tuned into medical issues. The medical column of Uranus can detail
health problems that are uncommon, but also those that result of adrenal
failure and problems with cortisol. The suggestion here is that a person
has been in such a sustained period of stress that their ability to respond
to stress is is simply exhausted. They really need to rest, to avoid stress
reactions, and to spend lots of time being "peaceful" and calm.

2. Add the fact that Ophelia is moving into 15* Leo--part of the Aries Axis.
This suggests that some will be dealing with health issues that are an
autoimmune reaction. Too, people may over or under-react to what's going on
for them health-wise.

3. Given Niobe, Rx, in 22 Capricorn, there will be those who are dealing
with changes brought on by sorrow through children or though blows to the
pride-- and some of that (Uranus-Niobe) is that they hooked their star to
being "an original item." Their ego was invested in being "like no one
else"-- and that hasn't worked out so well! There can be wounds to the
pride because of realizing how "different" one's children are or due to
seeing an emotional distance or detachment that just plain "hurts"!

4. Fom the current Kronos conjunct Psyche (09 Cancer) expect more insights
about the mind, emotions and emotional state of fathers, celebrities,
authorities or govenment officials. Since the memory asteroid, Mnemosyne,
is closely square, for some there will be concern about the efficiency or
accuracy of the memories of these people. At other times, there may be
"down Memory Lane" trips regarding celebrities-- with some emphasis on
(Psyche) their state of mind, and how a father (or father figure) affected a
person's psychological well-being.

5. Maybe it's time for you to be dealing with the close square of the TNP,
Zeus, in 16 Libra, and Pluto, in 17 Capricorn. If so, you're seeing that a
person can be very volatile when their control over situations or persons is
contested. Someone's anger can be hell-bent on revenge. A person can
nearly "put on a show of volatility" in order to "mess with" another person
and expose their vulnerabilities. If you watch carefully, you can see that
a person attempts to use anger or a certain "edginess" to mask their own
psychological scars and weaknesses.

6. A pattern now shows Kalypso, Rx in 17 Cp conjunct Pluto and the medical
asteroid, Malpighi, in 17 Aries. If this is prominent in your chart now,
you want to realize that (as we've discussed here before) that Kalypso tells
you that "certain things are hidden and not obvious." Okay; that means that
(Pluto) motives, financing, investments, and attempts to manipulate or force
change may be subtle or concealed. But when we add the Malpighi, there are
concerns that there are (Pluto) really important things that (Kalypso) are
hidden and deal with (Malpighi:) the lungs, the respiration or the blood.

7. While Mars and Vesta are aspecting Pluto, expect that people can do
things that are so without emotional investment that it can be very
difficult to understand their motives and intention.

8. As the asteroid, Eros, applies to the (inconjunct to) Zeus, you want to--
if this is prominent in your chart--be aware of problems with the pulse and
blood pressure. The concern now also comes from Admetus in 29 Taurus
(aspecting Eros in 00 Pisces in mid-May.) The meanings of Admetus include
words like: thickening, blockage, walls. Add that to the "heart" sense of
Eros. Now you have concerns about blocked or occluded arteries; to have
concerns about the walls of arteries; you have the "blood circulation
slowed." These themes will be accented by the Full Moon on May 21st in 01
Gemini/Sag. Since these factors = Zeus, there can be impact on the blood
flow, pulse and blood pressure.

9. The Jupiter-Saturn square in 13-14 Virgo-Sag can be annoying. Jupiter
says, "Cool! Let's go for it!" and then Saturn says, "Not so fast!" Just
when you think things are going work out, Saturn urges caution. Jupiter is
full of self-confidence... Saturn brings up all those fears of inadequacy.
If this is big in your chart, you can feel like you're on a seesaw!

10. We can't ignore the Neptune-Jupiter oppositon that's happening now.
Money issues can be confused. People can be indecisive about what seems to
be a good thing. There can be concerns that you are using Jupiter to "build
castles" (symbolically) upon the (Neptune) sand. You can feel unsure-- even
about a situation that really does have a lot of positives. This means
though that you have to be aware that someone may be deceptive in order to
make something seem better than it is. Stay alert for versions of The Grand
Illusion where a situation or person can seem (Jupiter) fabulous, but
(Neptune) all is not as it seems!

11. In 03 Cancer mid-month, the asteroid Zeus. is applying to a conjuction
with Hades. Under that combination, you can hear of destructive fires. You
can hear of criminal activity that involves guns or explosions. You can be
aware of a kind of criminal volatility, and you may see something about
nearly evil things done as part of military action. If the Zeus-Hades is
touching your chart, also expect that your (Zeus) desire to accomplish
things will be at a (Hades) low ebb! But pay attention to the potential for
inflammation to be damaging or part of a disease process nowadays!

12. Hades and Neptune share a dial axis now, and Hades = Pandora (and some
other things.) When you try to anticipate the impact of Hades and Neptune,
you know that there can be influences now that are hard on the respiratory
and immune systems. And, courtesy of Pandora, this can be a surprise or an
unanticipated issue. From the Hades-Neptune, people can be susceptible to
"dark" or depressing influences. Where Neptune feels all that "compassion,"
some of it is of the sort that (Hades) takes a person down.

13. As Mercury, in 14 Taurus, applies to Ophelia and Askalaphus, (if these
issues are "angular" in your current returns,) you can expect to hear of
autoimmune diseases that affect nerves or lungs.

14. From the Atlantis in 20 Taurus (on May 21st) square Harvey in 21
Aquarius, manifestations of the heart, blood circulation, or hormones can be
seen in too negative a light.

15. Under the Kassandra (25 Pisces on May 21, 2016) square Cupido, there are
reasons to wonder or question what you're told by partners or family
members. Also, the question arises: should you listen to or follow their
advice or counsel?

The June issue of Tools of the Trade, the monthly print newsletter of radix
and predictive charts and methods with asteroids, will be sent on Tuesday.
It features a chart of mental illness, shock therapy and insulin-coma
treatments and death in a fire-- so there is an example of carbon monoxide
poisoning, bipolar illness and much more. The examples featured in the newsletter are probably not for the beginning student, but let me know if you'd like to receive a (free) copy to see if it fits with your interests and study level.
It's still snowing here in the Rockies, but I hope it's Spring wherever you are!
