New Moon in Taurus, on the 5th brings us into this fortnight with determination, and strong intentions. Saturn traveling direct, after 4 months retrograde, in the sign of Virgo, creating new structures and showing up in our areas of service. Very solid and grounded in this sign, and remember too, that we have been moving closely in sync with Pluto, in Saturn’s sign, Capricorn. As the gap between the two, now widens, Saturn sets out on its’ own steam, to do some reorganizing. Look for the Virgo house in your own chart, and you will see where this restructuring is taking place, with painstaking, precision. Jupiter turns retrograde, on the 9th, and will return to 12 degrees Capricorn, during September. Mars moves into Leo on the 10th and the Sun will be in Gemini, at the beginning of next fortnight. With Neptune and North Node meeting, in Aquarius, be prepared for something of a karmic nature, to take place on the World Stage. Possibly, an event with worldwide humanitarian ramifications. Neptune, the harbinger of Divine inspiration. Moving away, from a past of ego glorification and towards a future of oneness and shared spirituality through science and technology. Could even be, information filtering through the world wide web. Let’s see how the fortnight begins. Whatever transpires, there is no doubt, that this time, like never before, we need to work together and not against one another. Our Planet is at stake here.
NEW MOON 15 Taurus 22 May 05, 2008 08:19 p.m.
ARIES : This is a great change for you, with Mars moving into Leo, another fire sign, will definitely get things moving. Mars will ignite your passion, and provide creative inspiration, in those areas, where stagnation has occurred, due to too much water. Namely, the Cancerian type, of emotional water. Enough already; there are adventures to be had, and conquests afoot. You will be leaving others to tend to home and hearth, while your wanderlust, seeks fulfillment. There could be a little opposition, and that will only serve to fuel your departure.
TAURUS : Quite the year, for some, with very interesting meetings, with profound beings, in store. If you have, only ever taken life at face value, then this could be the year where you are introduced to concepts of a deeper nature. Concepts, which see you looking deeply within, rather than to the external World, for the answers to very pressing questions. How is your own life impacting the Planet, and what are the consequences of your actions? Venus traveling with the Sun, is making sure your new values are solid, and well researched.
GEMINI : Mercury already in your sign, and destined to turn retrograde at the end of the month. This then, gives you this fortnight to get things straight and in some sort of Gemini perspective. That could be a little confusing to others, however, the point is, that you understand what’s happening in your life and never mind others’ opinions. They will always have them, and there will be always those who are diametrically opposed to your own. With a square to Uranus happening just before, the retrograde, you could get a lightning bolt of inspiration, that will keep you pondering.
CANCER : Time to farewell Mars’ sojourn in your sign, and welcome the freshness of this solid, and grounding time. A good time to plant and nurture the seeds of any new project. The Full Moon, will have us in the throws of transformation, again in Scorpio this month. Any new beginning requires the letting go of something, from the past, whether it be ideas, situations, people or other physical things. Taurus time, is when we really want to hold on, so we could find ourselves in juxtaposition, until common sense prevails.
LEO : As already mentioned, Mars is entering your sign this fortnight, to spice up your and everyone else’s life. What a great opportunity to harness the warriors energy and step out boldly in any direction you wish, with flamboyance and certainty. You are apt to stir up gossip at this time, but that is always the case, when you place yourself in the lime light. People will soon catch on, with enthusiasm, when they see that your motives are clear, and that your intention, is for the highest good of all.
VIRGO : If you place too much emphasis on the details, the job will never get done. Do your best to stick to the task at hand without obsessing, and be practical when it comes to the time alloted. It could be, that the only one looking for perfection is you. Relax a little and allow yourself, some time to play and just have fun. Laugh and let go, and you will feel yourself unwind, from all that has transpired over these past weeks. Communicating with others, what is really happening for you, is essential to your well-being.
LIBRA : What do you value most in life? Are you spending enough time being with, and doing those things which really matter to you, or are you so caught up in looking the part, that you have forgotten, what truly matters. This is the opportunity to rectify any oversights on your behalf. Get yourself, back into alignment and start to prioritize. No one else is going to do that for you. This is your life, and how you live it, is up to you. Better to set it straight, rather than bemoan your situation and continue to live it. That takes a lot of energy.
SCORPIO : Pluto is about to dip back into Sagittarius for a few months, before it becomes well and truly embedded in Capricorn at the end of November. This could be the last opportunity to kick up your heals, before the hard work really sets in. Transformation, again becomes lofty, and far reaching. The chance to get in touch with your higher self, and find out what your purpose or life calling is, for the coming times. If you are on track, then it is just a moments reprieve and relaxation. Enjoy the expansiveness.
SAGITTARIUS : With Jupiter retrograde, you get the chance to check out your achievements, over the past year. Much has transpired and Jupiter has moved from Sagittarius to Capricorn. What was just a large possible vista, has become reality to some degree, and now you get to mull over, what has really happened. Come January, Jupiter will again move sign, this time into Aquarius, so much will happen between now and then, to prepare you for what is to come and that for sure, will be a worthwhile cause.
CAPRICORN : A direct Saturn, has movement beginning in your life. Ruling Capricorn, and therefore affecting both Jupiter/growth and Pluto/transformation. What a busy time it is for you. Looking out from within, it may seem that chaos abounds. Let me assure you, that this is definitely not the case. Take a step back, and have a look at the bigger picture, and this will give you another perspective, from which to base the coming months’ work. Everything will fall into place, at the right time, as long as you stick to plan and adjust it, only when necessary.
AQUARIUS : Taurus time, tends to throw a bit of a spanner in the works, as far as you are concerned. It feels like two steps forward and one back. Blah! Perseverance is needed here and the ability to stick with what you started, without abandoning it, and hope for its’ outcome. People can be fixed in their ideas at this time, and that could include you. Be a little more flexible and willing to see other peoples’ perspectives and be open to compromise, even when all the cells in your body, are screaming, run.
PISCES : Have you heard the hum of the cosmos of late? Was there perhaps, a message coming through your dreamscape, which took your attention? Has your life taken a new direction, a new calling perhaps? Maybe it has come about as a deepening to your sense of shared humanity. Whatever, it is, something has definitely changed in your life. Now allow the integration, and when the time comes to move, you will be ready. You are no longer the person you were, even a week ago. Count your blessings, daily, and remain in awe, of the wonder of creation.
