May 2023 Astrology: Saturn Decile Pluto Quintile Uranus
May 2023 has a very complex and deep astrological landscape. I would say that the shift is in. The world is indeed shifting before our eyes, and I can see a sort of astrological epicenter in time for the course of affairs. Right now, May 2023.
It’s all a bit under the radar, but for those with eyes to see, that is, those who use the appropriate mathematical filters, it all becomes clear. I’ll endeavor to explain.
May 2023 has astrology similar to that of January 2020, not as powerful, but significant enough to become a new “chapter” subsequent from January 2020.
Specifically, Uranus, Saturn and Pluto are moving into a tenth-harmonic pattern, that is, they are making aspects to each other that are in multiples of thirty-six degrees. Saturn is decile (36 deg.) to Pluto and quintile (72 deg.) to Uranus; they all aspect each other.
36 degrees is one-tenth of 360 degrees on a circle, or the tenth harmonic of the circle. Those 36 degree markers resonate with each other.
The traditional aspects in astrology are based on the division of the circle by multiples of two and three:
- square (360/4 = 90 deg.)
- opposition (360/2 = 180 deg.)
- trine (360/3 = 120 deg.)
- sextile (360/6 = 60 deg.)
When you get into the higher prime numbers like five, seven and nine, it becomes much harder to conceptually juggle them all. However, I find that isolated alone for transits they do deliver results, especially those of the tenth harmonic.
These aspects are:
- decile (36 degrees)
- quintile (2 x 36 = 72 degrees)
- tridecile (3 x 36 degrees = 108 degrees)
- biquintile (4 x 36 = 144 degrees)
- and opposition (5 x 36 degrees = 180 degrees).
Timeline of Events
Starting on April 30 Uranus and Pluto form an exact tridecile, then on May 14 Saturn and Pluto make exact decile to each other. It is not perfectly aligned in time, but close enough in my estimation to qualify as a larger pattern.
On May 8 and 9 the Sun makes exact quintile to Saturn, tridecile to Pluto and conjunct Uranus, “tying” them all together once again.
On May 20 Mars makes exact opposition to Pluto and bi-quintile (2 x 72 = 144 degrees) to Saturn. At the same time Mars will be in exact square to Jupiter.
On May 23 Mars makes exact quintile to Uranus. So much happening.
If would be all amazing enough, if not for the fact that also in the same time frame above powerful planets make more traditional aspects to each other:
- May 1 Pluto stationary retrograde
- May 3 Mars sesquiquadrate Saturn
- May 5 Lunar eclipse
- May 17 Jupiter square Pluto, Sun conjunct Algol
- May 30 Mars at aphelion
Most astrologers ignore aspects of the fifth and tenth harmonic variety. They only really are apparent with computer technology, but they work just as well as the “easier” ones to see: the square, trine, opposition, etc.
So, when you put on the right “glasses” other patterns of significance become clear. All these planetary players indicate a rather impactful and sufficiently jarring ride through May and into the summer.
We may feel the same on a day to day level, but the greater world around us is rapidly changing and its effects on us may be subtle. These effects are seen in the contexts of month, years and decades; while our short human attention span misses the forest for the trees, if you will.
Jupiter Conjunct Rahu May 2023
In a more upbeat note, Jupiter is now moving close to Rahu, or the Moon’s North Node.
Rahu is the demon who in the midst of mischief-making was sliced in half at the waist by Vishnu with his spinning discus. Vishnu was too late though, Rahu had already drunk the soma conferring him with immortality. But now cut in half his head and tail sections exist independently doing their part to move humanity along.
Rahu is definitely the more head-strong one, aggressive and desirous. With another head-strong god, Jupiter (or Zeus of Greek myth, also Guru of Hindu myth) in the sign of Aries, we may find a lot of self-inflated, presumptuous, or impetuous happenings.
A lot of “Go!” but not a lot of staying power or delivering on promises so luminously given.
