Sue Brain and Steve Judd discuss the astrology outlook for May, treating it as a month with several concentrated "flash points" rather than a calm period. They focus on early-May tensions around Mars square Jupiter, Mercury square Pluto, and Pluto stationing retrograde, plus a new moon in Taurus followed by Mercury conjunct Uranus as Uranus leaves Taurus and enters Gemini. Steve argues May is less manic than April but still highly charged, with plutonian themes, possible conflict, subversion, and sudden news flow. …
Near term, the setup is for a few concentrated volatility windows in early and late May, with conflict/news risk peaking around the Mars/Pluto and Mercury/Pluto signatures. Direction is unclear, but the posture is defensive and alert to surprise headlines.
Over the next several weeks, the base case is a choppy, unsettled progression from April into May and June, with pressure building toward a larger July inflection. Validation would come from a visible escalation in headline risk followed by a partial containment or reset.
Structurally, the conversation argues that we are in a broader transition from old energy and political structures toward a more disruptive, tech- and communication-driven regime. The lasting thesis is not a single event but a multi-month shift in how power, information, and infrastructure are reorganized.
May is expected to be less manic than April, but still contain several short-lived flash points.
Steve explicitly says May is not as manic as April and mentions multiple isolated 24-hour flash points.
The start of May contains a concentration of astrological pressure, including Mars square Jupiter, Mercury square Pluto, and Pluto stationing retrograde.
This is described as flash point number one, occurring within 24 hours of each other.
The new moon in Taurus is part of a concentrated period of energy because Mercury will soon conjunct Uranus and the lunation sits near the Venus-Mars midpoint.
Sue frames the new moon and subsequent Mercury-Uranus contact as a tight sequence of changes.
Do you want to explain the difference between Plutonian and plutonium?
Do you want to say a little about the blue moon concept and what it signifies?
Steve explains that the lunation cycle varies from 28 to 30 days depending on the moon's distance from earth, and that having two full moons in a month occurs every two and a half years so he doesn't attribute special significance to it.
Is there anything you'd like to say just to finish off?
Steve promotes the upcoming shifts happen online event, mentioning spectacular workshops, the next episode of their documentary, panel discussions about AI and astrology, and Amanda Walsh interviewing him along with Rick, Alex, Bobby, and Penny.
