2015 FREE May Celestial Timings
By Cayelin K Castell
Experiencing life through the lens of Shamanic Astrology changed my life 25 years ago this month! It is remarkable to
think that a whole Quarter of Century ago on Mother's Day weekend 1990, I met Daniel Giamario, the creator of the
Shamanic Astrology Paradigm, at the Tucson Astrologer's Guild where he was giving a talk. I had no idea that by going
to that talk my life would be forever changed.
I didn't know much about any kind of astrology, much less Shamanic Astrology, when I showed up that day - but
listening to Daniel talk I somehow knew this was something I needed to learn without really knowing why or where it
would lead or even how I would learn it as there were no formal classes at that time.
25 years later I find myself a co-founder of the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School that I somehow accidently (not
knowing I was doing it) helped to birth over the years giving me an opportunity to have a passionate, alive, life
changing way of being in the world and sharing these gifts with others in so many ways including the Celestial
Timings and I am profoundly grateful!
One of the greatest gifts of this work is knowing what initiation cycles we are in and knowing the best strategies for
how to navigate them. At this point in my own personal journey I am navigating my 2nd Saturn return and my 5th
Jupiter return and loving that I have this tool of Shamanic Astrology supporting me as I choose my next steps.
The insights, understanding, growth and change often sneak up on me and I am not always aware of what is
happening until I am looking back at what has transpired. This Saturn Story is an example.

I am wishing all Mom’s everywhere a Happy Mother's Day including all those who don’t
have children but do have nurturing mother type qualities - in whatever ways we show up
to mother ourselves or others. This is the time to celebrate the Great Mother within us all,
for without her we would not be here.
So I am again honoring my Mom, Merilyn Massey, who made her transition 17 years ago. I
was only 42 at the time and she taught me a lot about conscious dying and conscious living.
Her story is an inspiring one, capturing the essence of what happens when the caterpillar
becomes the butterfly. If you haven't had a chance to check it you can read about it HERE
Plus it is interesting to note the word Mother has roots in the word Matter and Saturn is all about structure and how
Matter manifests into form. So, with that in mind here is a link to the Saturn Story that I have shared before but is
worth revisiting if you haven’t recently.
Journey to Teotihuacan
This sacred journey was a remarkable, life changing experience. I am deeply grateful to Shelley Tatlebaum who was
our inspired guide and facilitator. She took us to secret places that many never get to visit and we had the
opportunity to do profound ceremonies that catalyzed great alchemy that of course is still a work in process. I am
grateful to the 15 magnificent women who showed up with courage and willingness to dive deep into the Great
Below and to soar high into the Great Above and support one another along the way. I may share more later as I
integrate this special experience but for now I will say if this is the kind of sacred journey you are called to do then I
highly recommend you join Shelly for one of her future trips to Teotihuacan. It is an unforgettable, profoundly life
changing experience! Looking ahead, Shelley and I are talking about creating a trip together next year. Stay Tuned!

Mercury is the star planet this month as it goes retrograde on May 18 and connects with Sun, Mars, Saturn, and
Neptune, as well as the Pleiades and the royal star Aldebaran. Perhaps it’s a Mercury influence or simply due to
my travels, because I didn’t get a chance to write the overview of the planets for the month of May. Paid
Subscribers do get this information and more via the Audio Timings. I just simply ran of time for the written
version. 

May 2015 Daily Celestial Timings
(all times are PDT unless otherwise noted)
May 1, Friday. Happy Beltane a.k.a May Day. This seasonal crossquarter celebration is shows up on the Gregorian Calendar as
happening on May 1 although the actual astrological cross-quarter
is May 5 when the Sun reaches the half way point between the
Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice crossing the 15 degree
mark of Taurus.
Evening star Mercury is still near the Pleiades and is traveling
through the Sacred Hoop. Mercury is highly featured through this
month as are the Pleiades a Behenian Star Gate. One of the many Mercury events this month is the station
retrograde on May 18 at 13 Gemini. Mercury will return to be within about 4 degrees of the Pleiades on June 11.
The Mercury retrograde window begins on May 4 when Mercury crosses the degree of its direct station and ends
when Mercury crosses the degree of its retrograde station on June 27 creating a powerful window for deepening the
messages and experiences of Mercury in the sign that is most like Mercury, as Mercury and Gemini resonate with
many of the same archetypal qualities. Both Mercury and Gemini are connected with the tricksters, shape shifters,
guide for souls, messengers, gypsies, magicians, entertainers, and court jesters.
May 2, Saturday. The waxing nearly Full Moon passes
3.3° NNE of Spica (24 Libra) and then enters Scorpio
at 06:40 pm. Spica is a Behenian star lying very close
to the ecliptic, and the brightest star in the
constellation of the Virgin Priestess. Spica is a
prominent star representing the sacred feminine as
priestess or goddess. The Moon passes by here each
month amplifying the energy of what it takes to
integrate and assimilate the deepening qualities of
loving, conscious, sacred partnership with ourselves
first, and then others.
This is especially true when we are willing to
acknowledge and heal any separation we have from
source, so is a great time for considering how to
further consciously energize a more interactive partnership with source and take responsibility for our personal
experience in and out of our middle world relationships. The Moon’s move into Scorpio opens the Full Moon Window
that is exact tomorrow.
Venus begins this month passing the constellation of Orion during this first week of May. (More on the Orion in the
Paid Timings)

May 3, Sunday. Mercury (3°Ge03') is opposite retrograde Saturn (03°Sg03') at 1:34:57 am. Messenger Mercury
illuminates Saturn providing an opportunity to see new ways of engaging the quest for expanded states of
consciousness that are designed to creatively assist the intent of Saturn to move beyond the current limits, beliefs
and boundaries of the old traditions. We are in a whole time and new rules or ways of engaging these mysteries are
emerging as our beliefs and understanding of the spiritual journey are also evolving.
The Scorpio Full Moon (13 Scorpio 23) is exact at 8:42 pm and
is visible very near the fixed stars Zuben Algenubi (15 Scorpio)
and Zuben Alshamali (19 Scorpio), the two brightest stars in the
constellation of the Scales.
The Full Moon near these stars is a time to consider if your heart
is heavy with the burdens of life including grief, pain, being a
victim, feeling life is unfair. Or are you in a place of gratitude
even for the challenges, difficulties, traumas, and woundings
you have experienced? Gratitude lightens our hearts and from
the Egyptian perspective a heart that is lighter than the feather
is free to choose where it goes next.
The intensity of the Scorpio Full Moon includes walking the edges of our pain, grief and challenging feelings,
especially the scary ones or the ones that may seem too scary to even consider. However, the reality is once these
fears are faced the fear dissipates and can even disappear
altogether. It might take time. It might seem like it will
never happen, until one day you notice you are no longer
afraid.
Scorpio is also about connecting desire and personal will
with the divine source as a way to manifest divine desire
into physical form.
The challenge for Scorpio is releasing attachment to how
they want that manifestation to look. Attachment to a
specific outcome hinders the magic that is otherwise
possible. Ideally, this is about being attentive to the
ecstatic life force energy that is present when we are willing to receive it, because that is the ultimate desire of
Scorpio, to be plugged directly into the life current itself. That is where the magic is. (Here is more about this special
Solar/Lunar Beltane time)
May 31, Sunday. The Sun 09°Gemini47' is square Neptune 09°Pisces47' at 6:08 am. Twice each
year Neptune squares the Sun. Once before stationing retrograde, as is the case today. And the
other time is after stationing direct. That will happen later this year. See May 18 for information
on the planetary station points as a Still Point and May 27, 29 and 30 for more on Neptune and
Mercury.
