Astrology Forecast May 2024

A look ahead at the astrology forecast for May 2024, which features notable alignments of planets moving into Taurus and Gemini, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Diana Rose Harper!
The astrology of May features a stellium of planets of planets moving through the sign of Taurus, which will emphasize the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in that sign further, and then later in the month the stellium shifts to the sign of Gemini.
The biggest change this month is that Jupiter completes its one year transit through the sign of Taurus, and it moves into the zodiac sign of Gemini where it will stay for the next year.
In the first hour and a half of the show we do a recap of a bunch of major news stories that happened under specific astrological alignments over the past month, and then in the second half of the episode we dive in to the astrology of May.

Diana Rose Harper is the whole package!! Nobody would be hurting if she was the third regular.

[@magdelynmonahan4190]

Chris doesn’t seem bothered by the way Diana speaks, it seems like it’s just you @tavtaverner5886. What a silly hang up to have given the amount of knowledge she’s dropping on you for free.

Diana is obviously highly intelligent, but also kind and compassionate. So blessed to hear her speak.

Diana, your presence on the show and willingness to not shy away from tying in aspects related to women's rights and the struggles of Black and Brown peoples does so much for me as a young black queer astrologer. your passion and genuine kindness is inspirational and much needed thank you thank you thank you

[@ikaikag967]

Also with the college protests- the way the protests are being done are super Taurus like. It’s students hunkering down and staying in one spot as protest.

[@TheAstrologyPodcast]

Great point! I actually meant to mention that the occupy protests a decade ago started when Jupiter was in Taurus, and that part about occupying physical space seems like a shared theme.

I do miss Austin, but having Diana on the show is amazing. She is a brilliant, beautifully articulate astrologer and I join the chorus of; "more Diana on the show please!"

[@GeminiLibra73]

I'm a clinical psychologist who has studied archetypal psychology and astrology for the past 30 years, and I fully support your concerns and observations about the media coverage of the astrologer's mental health episode. Psychosis and paranoia are only partly understood, but there is some consensus that they are not a failure of reason or an inherent hazard of spiritual awareness or cosmological imagination. Quite the contrary, psychosis, as the psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist points out, is partly a function of the left hemisphere's tendency to literalize, to take abstract ideas as concrete, univalent, objective facts rather than as polysemic, archetypal images and metaphors. The right hemisphere imagines, and the left hemisphere sometimes goes awry by taking those imaginings too literally. As you both pointed out, the astrologer was evidently suffering from a form of mental illness that had nothing to do with her study of astrology. She and her loved ones deserve our compassionate attempts to understand what happened, not our rationalistc judgment that provides false comfort by distancing ourselves from the admitted tragedy.

[@lilstars5599]

💜💫

[@bargleboy]

Diana is such a gem! I’m amazed at her ability to speak on hard topics with not only a compassionate thoughtfulness, but educated solutions on what to do going forward?! How can she keep up with it all and not be bitter?! 😂 You’re wonderful, Diana! You too, Chris 😉

I was in the path of totality. It was dark enough that we could see some stars. The temperature dropped about 6 degrees during totality. Also, my tulips closed their blooms.

[@erinmacro345]

Diana's fan club has arrived!

[@gastonmarian7261]

Oh my gosh, that declaration of animal consciousness as the hidden gem, like the original theory of evolution, is so juicy with promise for the future!

[@michellepillen7287]

Thank you, Chris and Diana, for your tender way of raising awareness with MH issues and ways to respond.

[@SiriusDogStar369]

I have a confession, apologies in advance. The tone of voice you both share, chill vibe and pleasing to the ear cadence have a calming effect, which I value because I’m also going through family relationship sadness & frustration. The information you present is always so organized & intelligently communicated, and I highly respect everyone here. With that said, when Diana has been on, I’m also nostalgically reminded of SNL & the Schweddy Balls Delicious Dish skit, and I also appreciate that because it cheers me up & reminds me to be chill during stress as well. Thank you 🙏

All I can think about is Daniel’s surviving 9 year old little girl. Prayers up for her🙏

[@claudialarsson7439]

Any word on Austin’s baby?

[@HOB97]

Can’t wait to watch this. I’m a Leo rising with Taurus Stellium and so much has been happening lately. I signed the contract for a new lease yesterday and I’m moving today. On May 7th is my birthday and this year the celebration is bittersweet and delayed because my grandfather’s funeral will be that day. Lots of endings and new beginnings for me.

[@nano3014]

Finally, all of us May babies can have a good solar return chat! It's been a rough few years with eclipses etc.

[@leviashanken2506]

And Venus finally in Taurus for mine!

[@boldinquiry]

Diana is so articulate. She is always a guest we can count on for profound insights!

[@wavingcat5]

@TheAstrologyPodcast one small thing you might find relevant is that some Columbia students have stated theirs wasn’t technically the first encampment, just the one that took off first in the public conversation. They said Vanderbilt started an encampment first. I looked it up and some articles say Vanderbilt started their encampment as a result of a demonstration on March 26th. This was while the moon was still full in Libra, a couple of days after the penumbral eclipse. The timing seems intriguing as a possible foreshadowing of encampments really taking off with Columbia and the Jupiter Uranus conjunction. I also want to add that it’s such a gift to experience how carefully you walk us through every transit of the month and how it might show up for us. It engages my astrological thinking and supports my learning immensely, and possibly exponentially. I’m very grateful. Thank you.

[@aidanjohnwalsh2129]

I became an accidental vegetarian living at a temple for a couple of years. It hadn't really crossed my mind before that, but after 2 weeks and a serious bout of gas, I never felt cleaner or lighter within my body and within my being. It wasn't a topic that was discussed much but I just knew intuitively that the glowing, wholesome feeling I experienced then, came from there being nobody left rotting inside me. It's been two decades since and I'll never eat my friends again.

[@elitecoaching4927]

I could do a training for non-licensed people who will be working with people who come to them with their mental health issues. I think life coaches/tarot/astrology/beauty professionals could all benefit from crisis prevention etc.

[@metamorphai]

4:11 Yes! Literally directly in the path of full totality so we had 4 min and 17 seconds to see. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen with my eyes. There are partial eclipses, and then there's totality and there's nothing like totality. The image was burned into my brain, the rest of April felt like it was months rather than weeks.

[@radarlove232323]

Martial Arts is to discussions with Austin what Lord of the Rings is to discussions with Diana and I absolutely love that.

[@moonsmilk333]

i was in the path of totality in Montreal. It was incredible, primordial, cold. everything hushed and stars came out. everyone walked around in a daze the rest of the day. it was very special and beautiful to go through an experience like this, that connected you to everyone around you. also.. of course animals are conscious and sentient!! if you've ever met one, you'd know...

[@cywoods60]

Chris and Diana, I love you two together. Thanks so very much for sharing the Dinella Ayoka story, and clearing up the story.😊

[@TheCourtini_IG]

The eclipse was exactly on my Aries ascendant and conjunct 12h Mercury 3° orb and 1H Sun 2° orb. I went to the botanical gardens alone and had lunch with 3 strangers PLUS gained a client. These podcasts really help me not only dive deeper into astrology but also see how the planets align with world news. TY!

[@teinalichtwardt8100]

The bee analogy for Jupiter ingressing into Gemini made me think about the mass cicada hatching in a number of states this spring.

[@TheKefelder]

Such a treat, to hear from Diana!

[@JS-gu3ru]

Interesting story: bloodied horses bolting through London on 24th April in the morning because they were spooked by construction noise. They literally crashed into a bus and a taxi. Seems like such powerful symbolism. Maybe that even connects to the story about animal consciousness?

[@meredithr9824]

Chris i really appreciate the timestamps, i know they take time.

[@lilstars5599]

Thank you, both. I really appreciate the way you took on this story head first. Don't let those without compassion or knowledge on mental health and take the narrative. I always point out, in these kinds of conversations, that every course im aware of includes counselling. I'm manic depressive, autistic, ADHD, C-PTSD. I was studying to be a psychiatric nurse, but degenerative disk disease and wanting to be home and available for my kids led me back to Astrology. I'm grateful now that i have drs who've known me long enough to know Astrology isn't a knew thing, and seeing me reading Chris and Demetras books in the waiting room, and the thump when those books are put on their desks- they're smart enough to realise, there is clearly a LOT they DON'T know about Astrology. My psychologist has actually had my Cosmos in Psyche for about 6 months now. He's become incredibly interested in mundane Astrology and i'm not so much. He's a professor of psychology and always been a working clinical psychologist. It's hugely beneficial for me to be able to be able to talk to him in Astrology speak now that he is officially "Astrologer adjacent". My very sceptical medical Dr, dispute himself, was nodding along when i was showing him his Saturn is in his 10th house. After he got a pretty decent run down on Saturn after his little bub was born with 4 plants (sun and moon inc) in Aquarius and 2 in Capricorn. There was no way i wasn't at least going to give him a heads up, with Saturn being my chart ruler. And as Chris said, know when it's not appropriate or "above your pay grade". Thank you both again. Incredibly calming for me to hear you both, who i look up to very much as a student, addressing important issues.

[@DanceCat7]

Thank you for the warning about the subject matter before discussing the astrologer and her breakdown. I did not scroll forward, but the heads up was greatly appreciated. Diana - your talk will go wonderfully!

Re: Jupiter-Uranus in Taurus and labor rights: I believe there was also a law passed within the last week allowing employees to hold 2 full time jobs, lifting prior restrictions. I believe this might be connected to the non compete laws with laborers and previous employers?

[@oneirologic4462]

On the Lunar eclipse in my 5H: my power went out for the entire day, I was not notified due to some snafu and my car was blocked in. This was the last day I had to submit evidence for my eviction hearing. Both my cel and laptop had dead batteries. On the solar eclipse in my 11H Aries, I was abruptly “fired” from a little gig that I’d had at the casino. When Mercury stationed on the solar eclipse degree, the decision letter regarding my 28-March eviction hearing did not arrive - which would have cost me my right to appeal, had I lost.

[@oneirologic4462]

I should mention that I am in an 8H-Saturn profection year, that natal Saturn is 18 Aries opposite Mars at 16 Libra and the Mars-Saturn conjunction was exact square my 7H Sun-Mercury cazimi.

[@lukebehan4732]

Just listening to the part about Danielle - I've recently started to read books by Liz Green and feel the insight into my own complexs either spiritually orientated or conspiratorial has been greatly liberating. Not that some conspiracy narratives are not real or that spiritual experiences aren't real, but having an understanding towards the psychological placements via the birth chart is a great advantage which we can hopefully gain great insight into in order to help the rest of mankind ❤

One other ocean topic is the mystery anomaly in the ocean between Africa and Antarctica. "A giant cluster of waves over 80 feet high and spanning 2,000 miles" Reports stated it was just a random anomaly in the wave radar and removed it from the data. But just a few days ago it came back and is showing up on radar again so now I'm kind of wondering what's going on. For context I keep track of wave radar because I live on the coast and watch for hurricanes, good surfing weather etc.

[@tiadoran]

Witnessed the eclipse in totality from my late grandmother's house in Texas alongside my closest family. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, pretty eerie and exciting. It's something I recommend everyone should travel to experience at least once in their life. I'm Virgo-rising so I was really nervous about this happening in my 8H. I thought someone close to me might die (I've experienced deaths close to eclipses in the past). Thankfully that didn't happen. Instead, maybe because my Mars is directly on my Asc, I'm experiencing some body transformations that I'm processing. 7:58 Reflecting on what Diana is saying: I got a job offer recently while Jupiter/Uranus was on the local midheaven and squaring my Moon/Venus/Saturn. This was a position I've been trying to get for many years and had applied to (and been turned down from) several times. I was expecting to be declined again and was shocked when I got the offer. Despite all the years of trying for this role, it almost felt like it was being handed to me out of the blue.

[@joetheodoreastrology]

The forever chemicals news and law - Neptune is also co-present in Pisces. Much of this was already known but they tried to obfuscate it; forced to reveal due to Mars and Saturn, as if Saturn squeezed it and Mars fired it out.

[@owlbegonebygone]

Might you please cover bird flu in a future podcast? I worry about the upcoming trine between Uranus and Pluto in air signs next year. Bird flu started hitting the news when Pluto ingressed into Aquarius last year, then it fell out of the news, now it’s back and could clearly be a big deal (50% death rate in humans, epic deaths in animals, cross species spread).

[@SageThymeTarot]

Thank you both for offering your compassioned wisdoms and clear insights in this discussion. I always appreciate learning from you both!

[@KellyDavis-nm3ur]

I was in the path of totality. My friends held an event where we hiked up a snow-covered mountain for over an hour to reach the peak, and they set up to play improvisational music before and after the eclipse. Obviously the day itself was highly charged and would have been a fun event regardless, but with the constant staring into the sun in anticipation of the event added a certain extra dynamism to the beauty of it all. WITNESSING THE ECLIPSE ITSELF WAS LIFE ALTERING. We all gasped when it went dark. 360 degrees of sunset! I couldn’t help but cry over the absolute viscerally sublime moment I had the blessing to experience. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Even now I haven’t fully integrated the event honestly and am curious how the rest of the eclipse cycle goes (my moon was conjunct the south node).

[@autumnseraph3104]
