Jupiter stations retrograde on May 9; Mercury retrograde begins May 26. These two movements will very much affect travel this month. Normally expansive Jupiter traveling backwards can inhibit the availability of resources for long-distance travel and/or our willingness to spend on trips, especially those we deem frivolous, or "merely" educational. When swift messenger Mercury turns retrograde, we often experience miscommunications, misconnections, and poor flows in general... of information, of conveyances, of the liquids within our bodies (my near-fatal bout with blood clots occurred after travel during Mercury retrograde). In any case, avoid travel just before and during the retrograde station.
