| Weekly Overview | May 23–30, 2025 As we move through the waning days of May, we stand at the threshold of a cosmic inflection point. This past week, brought a confluence of celestial and earthly disruptions, echoing the broader transformation underway across our human, technological, and spiritual landscapes.In Central Texas: Cosmic timing met embodied learning as Ricky Williams returned to Casa de Luz for a special ASGA event on May 17—just as the Sun joined Uranus. He introduced hisStrongest Planet system and the Lila app, encouraging attendees to listen to planetary archetypes not just as symbolic forces, but as living languages within the psyche. He and his wife, Linnea, shared insights and new tools to help decode our inner mythologies—reminding us that astrology isn’t about prediction, but participation. We are working in a continued partnership with Ricky and his endeavors. The Sun’s conjunction with Uranus in Taurus (May 17) delivered an unmistakable message: stability is not the goal—alignment is. A karmic checkpoint followed with Jupiter squaring the lunar nodes (May 18), urging collective realignment and individual recalibration. Now, as Saturn exits Pisces (the last sign of the Zodiac) and crosses into Aries on May 24, we are called into a new chapter—where discipline meets momentum and inner alignment fuels outward action. Seismic Energy Shifts: The electrifying Sun-Uranus conjunction arrived like a frequency spike in the Earth’s nervous system—disruptive, yes, but purposeful. From economic shifts to literal earthquakes, we are seeing the physical manifestations of energetic recalibration. • Italy’s Campi Flegrei, near Naples, experienced its most powerful quake in 40 years on May 13 (M 4.4), alongside over 200 tremors. Rising magma and hydrothermal pressure signal deep shifts beneath the crust. • The Axial Seamount off the U.S. Pacific coast is also inflating due to magma buildup, with a M 4.2 quake recorded May 22. While not immediately threatening, it underscores a global pattern of subterranean pressure. Solar activity this past week mirrored these shifts. An M3.2 solar flare on May 19 and ongoing C-class flares aligned with a Venus-Mars trine (exact May 22), suggesting a surge in collective energy, passion, and drive—but with the risk of inner or outer combustion if ungrounded. High-speed solar winds from a southern coronal hole may also have contributed to nervous system agitation and disrupted sleep in sensitive individuals. An early heatwave shattered records across Central and South Texas on May 14, with Austin topping 111°F—driven in part by a Mars-Jupiter square that amplified fire signatures in the chart. Climate, like consciousness, is in flux. Recent & Emerging Events The third week of May reflected a web of global cause-and-effect that mirrors celestial timing: Moody’s downgraded the U.S. credit outlook (May 17–19), sending economic jitters through financial systems—right in sync with Uranus’ destabilizing presence in Taurus, the sign of value and resources.A $1 trillion Gulf investment into U.S. markets prompted debate over sovereignty, risk, and reward—fitting for a Venus-Mars trine in fire signs.U.S.-Russia-Ukraine peace efforts stalled (May 15–18) while Mercury squared Mars, amplifying combative rhetoric. South African President Ramaphosa’s May 21 visit to the White House became a flashpoint of racial and geopolitical tension, following South Africa’s condemnation of Israel’s actions in Gaza. This political standoff, coinciding with a fiery astrological climate, reminds us that planetary tensions can reflect both ancient karma and contemporary reckoning. In the markets: Bitcoin surged to an all-time high of $111,969 on May 22 before showing signs of correction—mirroring the push-pull of Uranian highs and Saturnian checks. Stock markets have remained buoyant thanks to favorable trade narratives, though Solar Cycle 25’s peaks may trigger volatility through mid-year. Looking ahead: Saturn’s ingress into Aries on May 24 marks a definitive turn. Discipline will now be tested through action and consequence. Legal and ethical accountability is likely to accelerate, especially in the political sphere, where figures like Henry Cuellar and Fani Willis are already under scrutiny. Pluto’s ongoing transit through Aquarius ensures that hidden structures will continue to unravel—exposing corruption, yes, but also revealing new possibilities for integrity-centered reform. The Weekly Prescription: In times like these, it’s easy to feel tossed by the waves. But the chaos isn’t a punishment—it’s a clearing.This week, as Saturn steps into Aries, we are called not to push harder, but to center deeper. Take stock of your energy inputs. Walk barefoot. Reduce digital noise. Eat foods that carry the memory of sun and soil. Speak only what’s true. Let your actions be guided by inner clarity, not external chaos. The New Moon in Gemini (May 29) offers a moment to reset your mental framework. Instead of getting swept into the whirlwind, seed intentions that reflect coherence, curiosity, and calm. The Grid is indeed alive—but its message isn’t fear. It’s evolution.You are the anchor. Stay present. Stay awake. The deeper current is love. ~May Everything Be Illuminated |
