Beginning with Cinco de Mayo on Monday, the week of May 5, 2014 picks up cosmic steam just after the Taurus Solar Eclipse of April 29, 2014.

Note: May 5th, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day which is actually celebrated on September 17. If you’re curious, here’s a view of the natal horoscope of Mexico in a post I published on May 22, 2010 which also contains the horoscope of the BP Oil Blowout of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico–Hidalgo rising.
