News from Yogic Astrology

The Sun enters Gemini on May 20^th at 11:34 p.m. EDT. Gemini is the sign of communication and information gathering. This month, focus on gathering the Intel you need to raise your consciousness. Check the gatherings or classes in your community at the library, town center, and metaphysical shops that pique your interest.

Venus entered Cancer yesterday on May 19^th at 9:05 p.m. EDT. Venus is associated with money, possessions, beauty, love, balance, harmony, diplomacy, and loves to revel in the pleasures of the physical senses. In Cancer this takes on an emotional, nurturing, protective, sympathetic and sensitive tone. This month, be sympathetic in your relations with others so as not to hurt their feelings and try not to be too sensitive and let your feelings get easily hurt. Take time to commune with nature and try to feel the energy of the plants; hug a tree and feel its life force, or sit for a while with your back against one quietly observing the wild life around you. Visit your local farmer and eat fresh fruits and vegetables grown locally and visualize their healing powers as you ingest them. You can also charge your food with positive energy by thinking good and loving thoughts as you cook it. In fact pay attention to that while Venus is in Cancer from May 19th to June 14th. Notice the difference in how you feel after you eat foods that you cook when you are agitated or stressed versus foods cooked with loving intents.

I've been talking about the T-Square with Saturn opposite Jupiter and Uranus, squaring Pluto. Venus has joined the line up and is opposing Pluto squaring Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus balancing the T-Square by creating a grand cross. Venus moves much faster than the other planets involved so her influence will only hold until the end of May. This is a very powerful time to capitalize on the law of attraction. Venus is also associated with attraction and Pluto with power; they are in opposition which can represent a tug of war or fulfillment. It is imperative to be conscious of what you desire and the thoughts you send into the universe at this time because you want the fulfillment not the tug of war.

Remember the law of attraction works most efficiently when emotionally charged and the universe does not discriminate between wants and don't wants. It simply sends what it hears you going on and on about. So it is imperative not to focus on what you don't want, on your emotional hurts, or the random idiot who did something to negatively charge your emotions. You'll just attract more of it. Do focus on returning to center, becoming responsible for your own reactions, and remember that others can only upset our balance if we give them the power to do so. So to keep your power rather than give it away, allow yourself to recognize your anger or hurt but don't attach to it, let it go, silently wish the person a better rest of their day if aloud would perpetuate matters. And breathe. Breathe in positive energy of universal love, light and healing and breathe out the negative feeling energy. Then put that same emotional charge, in a now positive manner, behind what you do want to attract. If you are using creative visualization, focus on the end result and let the universe's divine design attend to the details.

Especially powerful days for working the power of attraction occur on the weekend of May 22^nd - 23^rd when the Moon joins the grand cross. If your emotional desires have been set to positive attraction, this will be an excellent weekend for you. If they were set to negative attraction, you'll reap what you've sewn there too. You can also use this weekend to ritualize what you want to attract and send your intent into the universe.
