Mercury Moves Slowly in Cancer

In episode 399 astrologers we look ahead at the astrological forecast for May of 2023, with astrologers Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, and Claire Moon. May opens with a solar eclipse in Scorpio, as well as the second half of a Mercury retrograde in Taurus. Later in the month Mars moves into Leo and then forms a T-square with Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius. At the top of the episode we talk about some recent news and events, such as the discovery of a lost text by the 2nd century astrologer Claudius Ptolemy, or the identification of the earliest woman who is known by name to have been a practicing astrologer.
