## Resource

In this episode, we dive into the dynamic and intense energy of the upcoming New Moon on May 16th. This is not your average lunar event. Occurring at the early degrees of Taurus, this New Moon sits exactly conjunct the notorious fixed star Algol, historically known as the "demon star." I will explain how this powerful alignment—combined with the sharp, truth-seeking energy of the Krittika nakshatra and the deep emotional resonance of the Pleiades—will cause many people to symbolically "lose their heads" and lose emotional control. We are entering a two-week period where sudden, unexpected events driven by Uranus will bring hidden betrayals, deceit, and corruption to the surface. While this energy sounds intense, it is absolutely necessary. Listen in to discover why uncovering these dark truths is the exact catalyst we need to clear the air and usher in a remarkable new time of global peace and technological advancement.
