19TH SUN ENTERS TAURUS Happy Birthday to all Taureans! In Taurus, the Sun is methodical, sensual, and receptive. We receive strength and tenacity from this zone and it helps us to follow through on all the projects that we initiated during impetuous Aries. Selective, we are inclined to accomplish only what we think is worthwhile so we can sort out our priorities. As our self-determination strengthens we will gain in patience, perseverance and the ability to keep on going, no matter what. We are concerned with our physical resources. Our security needs are uppermost but we can slowly and methodically create routines and cultivate determination. Taurus is a loyal sign that prefers familiarity and holds longevity in high value. Trust should not be an issue under this influence. But we can be defensive, more resistant, stubborn, bull-headed or possessive if pushed and act against our own self-interests if disappointed. Old broken promises or the betrayal of others and other abuses can be remembered. This is a good time to prepare for things and plan an agenda. We are capable of doing the harder grunt work. We enjoy Taurus' tactile sensation. Reawakening to a love of nature and natural things we are compelled to engage in our creative side through arts or music. Enjoyment comes through fine foods, physical contact, painting, performing music, or a warm bubble bath.
 
21ST FIRST QUARTER MOON This month comes in on a First Quarter Moon and ends on a First Quarter Moon. These quarters are confrontive, challenging and can be stressful but they are meant to build up or point out. It is only if we have not got our act all together that we are exposed to the harsher aspects of this phase. The Sun in Taurus squares off with the Moon in Leo. This is a fairly volatile emotional scene of personal assertion meeting with rigidity. The attempt to expand upon our ideas and goals is resisted, deferred or ineffective. We must have our background information together. We will be challenged on all the fine points of our objective. It is important to take the time to research our project and realise the conditional aspects of our audience.
 
22nd HAPPY EARTH DAY!
 
24TH GIBBOUS MOON Just like the Moon is extended out in Virgo away from the Sun in Taurus we are reaching out to grasp more. Our minds are very actively engaged, and may in fact be considering much about other people, but we are not communicating our thoughts. Even in good relations we are harbouring secrets, mind plots and doing reconnaissance. It will only be the two-faced that we need to be weary of as they are conditional and have expectations for which they refuse to take no for an answer. Egotistical, single-focused aggressive and pushy if not bullying types may make social engagements less enjoyable. Many people do not show up at activities or they leave because the atmosphere is not comfortable. Weird emotions twist us in strange directions and we haven't got the mental stamina to deal with them in the moment.
 
VENUS ENTERS GEMINI Venus in Gemini creates a charming, entertaining, witty and friendly atmosphere for communication and deep searching conversation. But there is less constancy and depth in this environment. Relationship tends toward simultaneous attentions, flirtations and affairs. People are light, airy, changeable and seeking variety rather than domesticity. We tend to think our feelings, justify, rationalize or use logic rather than acknowledge or feel our emotions. We will be on the move, visiting many different friends and places. Ties to relatives are brought forward. We may get curious about them or find new information. It is time to expand our heart connections, or reconnect to friends and family. We need to get our head out of the way, and not be so concerned with how silly or vulnerable we look. It is the heart that needs to show us the way. We can open the heart chakra by allowing our feelings to originate directly in the heart so we can respond freely in the moment without censuring with the mind.
 
25TH Deep into the morphic theme and entering the transcendent phase, we will be working on deconditioning the subconscious images and social imprinting that keep us locked in old response patterns. Issues can come up between parents about childrearing or taking care of elderly parents. But certain aspects of unconditional care giving and standards of expectation are awkward to balance. The needs of the spouse can stress our ability to tend to our own requirements. Extended families can be a brewing pot of potential disagreement because of their conflicting pulls of loyalty. We are more likely to notice our dissatisfactions with our mate than their better attributes. These influences lend themselves to the creation of new role models, an ongoing theme in our era's dynamic. But some may be caught in the warp between generational influences and feel compelled to marry in a socially acceptable way but end up choosing a relationship that is not acknowledged or honoured by their support system.
 
26TH We will be presented with a riddle we need to solve in order to bridge the gap between people. Issues of equality and propriety have to be sifted together subconsciously with intimacy. Old issues of resentment, jealousy, sexual problems, destructive relationship or prolonged attachment will surface to be resolved so we can purge these memories and be less prone to their reenactment. If it is in our nature or our pattern we will run into intense, powerful or secretive and occult types. Trust issues are profoundly difficult to fix because we are so vulnerable. This can be true as well if others will not disclose as openly and honestly. Forgiving and forgetting is a process that goes through phases and this is one of them.
 
While we are more malleable, adaptive and open to rearrangement we are easily irritated by someone telling us what to do. Because we are in the process of formulating a unique self-expression we want to remain open, free and fluid but we do not want to be interfered with. The less external delimitation the better we feel. We address the tension that has arisen in recent times and acknowledge the obstructions that caused it. We take action in this way for our future consideration. It is time to redefine things to make life more interesting. This is an opportunity to create a better balance by integrating change or originality into order, discipline and predictability.
 
28TH FULL MOON The Sun in Taurus opposes the Moon in polar opposite Scorpio which T-squares off with Mars. Mars can be feisty or passionate. "You versus me" can be turned into "you and me." This is an excellent time for conceiving a child or discovering the art of physical love. Many changes occur in consciousness. Acceleration is not a figment of our imagination. Escalation comes with these morphogenetic fields to guide us through the maze that leads to our chosen path. Consider this a thrilling adventure at the cosmic amusement park. Syncopation of belief systems creates a universal rhythm that aids humanities ascension. Conditional self-preservation leads to unconditional acceptance and self-realisation. If we think for ourselves we become more of our self. There are parties to attend, celebrations to enjoy and social activities that heal any tiredness. Gambling is an entertainment that needs to be moderated and it will bring excellent results. The more we hold onto or are attached to something inappropriate the more likely it will fall apart. We see ourselves in the reflection of the people we associate with. If we do not like the people we come into contact with then we need to change ourselves.
 
CERES RETROGRADE This planet is all to do with issues about motherhood or childhood so when backward we are rethinking ourselves in these areas. Generally we are more thoughtful about the loving support we want to receive. We think about how to give what we really care about. We disconnect from childhood attachments, grow up a little more and take responsibility for fulfilling our own needs. It is very important to be in touch with our organic essence over this retrograde period.  Mother issues are the norm; as a part of humanity mothers are just people trying to play the role to the best of their capability. We come to understand this and it changes the resolution of our memories. Health issues relate to food, digestion and feeling protected or taken care of. Some may be thinking about having a child and pondering the life changes this will mean.
 
1ST HAPPY MAY DAY and GLOBAL LOVE DAY! DISSEMINATING MOON With the Sun still in Taurus, the Moon has moved on to Sagittarius. They are on the verge of working well together but before the wheels get greased there are pockets of misinformation that need to be sorted out. Relationships can cross each other's path, children can be conceived and other new starts contemplated before beginning. Molds of how things should be are broken and new inventions are designed to replace old redundancy. No longer engirdled by the restraints of set policy we explore the mystery of possibility. There is separation between wish and hope as we imagine more possibilities than before mentioned. Developing new ideas, strategies, initiatives, investments or relationships is worthwhile work. Just wait till all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed before initiating to avoid mistakes or having to do things over. That may be at least May 12th!
 
2ND Our transitory times have caused chaos, stress and nervousness to be the normal conditions we live with everyday. But we get the opportunity to rethink our automatic impulses, resolve our dichotomies and get smarter and more selective about our engagements. With more objectivity we can observe our compromises, choices and predisposition and lighten the levels of tension we carry. There is definitely a universalising occurring to global reality and this feels like confusion. At this time we can sort some of that into different approaches. But, if we rebel against ourselves we can make this more difficult.
 
Alongside there is a slipstream of energy that is working against the tide of acceleration. It does so by tugging us in the opposite direction, dissipating our energy and slowing us down till we are almost ineffective. We need to take time to heal, inspire or share our hearts. A retreat or other spiritual and mystical experience can be very effective. Our dreams will be stimulated. We reorient our ideals. With many doubts about present day reality we try to bridge the gap between what was expected, the illusion, and what is realistic. This is a quest!
 
Nebulousness or other strange feelings creep in and subtly erode our resolve. We can temporarily lose sight of the meaning of our goals. Emotionally we are unsettled and out of focus. While some are more psychically inspired, others are doubtful or uncomfortably apprehensive. We cannot be at peace, we jerk ourselves around with thoughts and compulsions to act or are so filled with self-doubt we are paralysed. Too many detours, denials and escape routes spin us in circles. This influence has a numbing affect too. Make no mistake; this is emotional overload not the more preferable spiritual transcendence and aloofness. Some can become terrified by their uncertainties. We can no longer seek those unrealistic dreams of perpetual acquisition of yesteryear.
 
3RD Humanity acting on our own behalf rather than by social agreement causes the code of conduct to erode further. A breach of social etiquette seems to be the norm. In the process of refining and refashioning our social agreements we no longer trust that others will govern their actions. The governments are failing to provide for their civilians and the population is learning self-reliance. The second-guessing that occurs now is positive but the frustration, anger and bitterness is not. Re-evaluating old codes of conduct and social agreements, duty and responsibility is a contemplative process. So even if we feel paralysed into inaction we can still proceed slowly and methodically with the assistance of these influences.
 
It is of no surprise to anyone that we are in the process of enlarging our social vision. We are bumping into other cultures, traditions, beliefs, truths, wisdom and vision. It is difficult to profess that any one way is the one and only valid truth. But what we can sort out is which beliefs or philosophies offer more promises than can be expected to be delivered. Where has the overemphasis of exaggeration and expansion caused a breakdown of social and cultural format? We are solving our riddles and shifting our faith, hope and optimism to a new vision being created in the moment. We must be careful what we infuse into our concept of reality because we are creating our future. Incompatibility actually helps this process and allows us to listen to our deepest yearnings.
 
The problems we are faced with now have no immediate answers. It is time for strategic variance. The answers will come as a result of a struggle with our conflicts, especially those derived from our ambitions and achievements. We cannot rush, it is critical we make this a healthy transition and do not fight every battle in futility. If frustration or anger builds up we need to find a vent for the aggression. This can be through physical exercise or taking up a physically demanding task. Blowing up with false strength and courage shows our fear of the confrontation and reveals our lack of confidence. Reconfiguring the male image can cause us to delve into our layers of psychological experience involving that gender. These energies work very well with the changing male social paradigm and politics.
 
4TH Disapproval has become prevalent; maybe it is an approach to letting go, ridding the self of the oppression of another's opinion. But people act as if challenged. Expectations cannot convince our choices and decisions the way they did. We are thinking more for ourselves and constructing our own authority so the process of critical analysis is more poignant. What may be a surprise, however, is how unconsciously we will act out our repetitious patterns. In the spirit of the fable about the Emperor's new clothes we all walk around with our expert judgement which is invisible to others. It is always good to remember that where one finger is pointed, three more point back at us. We will in the end teach ourselves something.
 
It is very difficult to temper ourselves when the velocity is turned on high. Certainly if there is anything positive to be derived from flushing out any particular circumstance we can use this influence for that. Sudden and unexpected impulses will cause actions that are a mistake. We can cause our own accident if we do not make an extra effort to slow down and curtail quick action. Rushing, charging ahead, being too rash, being distracted or reacting with preconceived notions will create more problems than solutions. We may shock ourselves into a new perspective. There is considerable strain. Do not forsake all else, think about things a bit more.
 
5TH Paradox is where we find ourselves. Incompatibility with tradition and long held truth or wisdom needs to find a workable way. Issues around sexual expression require a lot of personal growth and understanding. We are far too occupied to pay attention to our spiritual yearnings. Some personal sacrifice may have to be made or we have to solve a riddle. Sorting out the entanglements that are blocking productive personal growth, reaching a state of understanding and being creative is what we are doing. While integrating the broader social philosophies that we encounter in modern life we challenge our focus. Hold onto your faith, hope and optimism!
 
LAST QUARTER MOON There is friction between the Sun in Taurus and Moon in Aquarius. There is a sense that conditions are dissolving and becoming less assured or more of a gamble. Immunity is compromised because it is overextended and weakened by stressors. We have too much on our mind which is working night and day. Positive news comes in a different disguise so it takes a while to realise the opportunity. Gardening or purchasing locally grown organic food with a mind for preserving becomes a common goal. Our responsibilities can be tedious and intricate. Increased outdoor activity spreads our focus out across a broader territory. We are less confined to the home or are very active in and around the home. Cooperative joint ventures can be undertaken.
 
8TH People who manipulate, twist and staple the hopes of others will raise issues of equality and reciprocity through their actions. Conflicts occur with the last straw. Imbalances in our anima and animus {feminine and masculine} will cause issues to arise. Father complexes and immature relationship ideals create conflicts in establishing a basis for realising life. We are in a conundrum of balancing fairness and respect for each other's rights because we feel our own are being compromised. Abandonment is not an option. We need to stretch into mutual understanding, congeniality and flexibility.
 
9TH HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! BALSAMIC MOON This is a good time for a vision quest, for meditation, rejuvenation, relaxation and seeking comfort or answers. Everyone's focus of attention will be different. But we are all actively in search of the stabilizing reorientation we need. If we are lucky enough to be involved with a group of like minded individuals or incarnating with a group in league with us then we will not be alone, we will feel we can do it together. But mostly this is an individual moment in time that is important to the ideology we hold most high. Sometimes in moments like these the advice of others simply does not relate or touch base because what we are contemplating is solely important to ourselves. We can feel alone in a crowd but the good news is we can find ourselves in the process of isolated or secluded development.
 
12TH Initiatives in reverse, limitations to accomplishment, sacrifice and a disproportionate balance of power has us questioning ourselves. There is validity in double-checking how much of ourselves we are devoting to any one specific direction. The distress of this situation is actually clarifying and validating even though we feel we cannot get to our objectives. Relationships put the point of choice front and centre. Demands have to be equalised.
 
13TH ASCENSION DAY ~ NEW MOON The beginning of another lunar month is auspicious. Approach this initiation as anything new, prepare and be consciously aware of the magic of intention. We feel more focused, regardless of the jaggedness of our times. It is possible to contemplate the change and growth we would like to manifest in the weeks ahead. Do not let doubt or inferiority creep into what is envisioned. Be steady and thorough, check all details and be cautious not to overlook the more exacting particulars. Hold onto the vision of cohesiveness we can muster now because in the days ahead it will fragment or shatter unless we can keep centred.
 
15TH After giving it very much thought we know what we need for ourselves and what needs we must meet for others. Still a bit awkward in executing these new precedents sometimes confused and other times defensive and angry we overreact to criticism or feel inhibited in the presence of others. But we are just feeling our way through to new directions and learning as we go. It may be a little irritating but in the end our intentions sort things out.
 
17TH CRESCENT MOON The Moon in Cancer is swiftly moving away from the Sun at the end of Taurus. The promise of things to come hangs in the air. It is intense nonetheless, endeavouring seems to consume us. We need to capture as much sleep, time out and stillness as we can. It is folly to try to hold things together if they have been threatening to fall apart for some time. What we will be able to recover will be worth more than we were attached to. There is no doubt that everything is changing but what appears as disastrous can end up being a relief. We cannot judge by our rational expectations. Cosmic alternatives will relieve us of our comfort zones. Positive new inclinations are hatched.
 
Ancestral memory will have much to do with the emotional conflict some of us may experience at this time. These are the biological memory traces that we are born with, the living record of our ancestors within our DNA. We are in the stewing pot of humanities ancestral memories. Primordial insurgence cannot be ruled out. We can be tossed about in this metamorphic stew. There is turbulence, stressors, nervousness and confusion in the airwaves. People are in survival mode throwing willfulness, domination, power, vindictiveness, conquest and control curve balls at each other. Fear acts on our feelings and notions flipping many people out and inhibiting others. But in the angst of the moment some can feel exempt and be inflexible, crude, have no conscience, become retaliatory, militant and punishing. Issues of self-empowerment and assertion seem mandatory.
 
We will be learning about self-containment as we detach from the machinations and reactions of others. Intimacy issues become evident; astounding how some cannot relate with any real closeness. Obstacles, delays or deadlines interfere with work, goals or objectives. The residue of an impersonal relationship with the father or any male authority figure would surface. We are moving toward attaining our own authority and must deal with whatever gets in the way. We are teaching ourselves to be more in tune with ourselves. This influence will help anyone who is struggling to understand something. Some display indifference to the distancing that is occurring in relationship while others take everything too personally. We come to grips with why and how our relationship has to pass a test.
 
19TH VENUS ENTERS CANCER Venus is all about relationship and love and Cancer is about care giving, nurturing and love. But too much loving can be smothering. Unconditional nurturing is encouraged but it will not dispel the over-bearing, co-dependent and disempowering who is exhibiting so much devoted love. This is a very strong emotional tide with which we will gravitate toward comfort, food and consideration. There is much depth, support, sympathy, trust, willingness to listen, empathy, sharing and caring in this energy field. It is a good time to clear out unnecessary baggage; material possessions, hidden fears, anxieties and resentments so to empower ourselves.
 
This sojourn helps us to weather our storms. We take commitments much more seriously and seek total communication in relations. We set high expectations of the other people in our life. We may unconsciously be seeking to replace someone who is no longer a part of our life. Try not to project this onto an unsuspecting human being. We will sorely miss those large chunks and missing pieces. But hindsight is ideal, perfect and flawless whereas current reality is not. Do not try to make someone be who you want them to be. Take a turning point so that future life contains less of the wrong kind of compromise. There are people looking to take advantage of people; preying on their vulnerabilities. Life is shifting, a new era is beginning, be prepared to make changes to step up and claim what is right for all of us.
 
20TH FIRST QUARTER MOON The Sun is perched at the extreme end of Taurus, the critical zone. This means the Sun has the potential to create crisis. Since the Moon is in phase with the Sun it too is grasping onto the last minutes of Leo, also creating a critical zone. This is the usual phase of challenge that would affect new starts as progressive steps are provoked. Challenging it will definitely be but its range of influence is so diverse it is not possible to encapsulate in a general sense. Be sure to take some adrenal support if not cortisol blockers. It will be chaotic and we will be stretched out of shape if we let it happen. We need to be aware to work with our chemistry and predisposition so we can be self-preserving. Catch up on the Survivor series on television, or rent the DVDs it is an excellent case study of humanity.

SUN ENTERS TAURUS Happy Birthday Taureans! You can make the most of the year ahead by paying attention to the details. Also this is a good time to get your paperwork in order. The conditions of relationship are negotiable. There can be some new enjoyments come out of existing comfortable relationships. You are changing your rules and redefining standards expanding on your foundational beliefs and asking others to respect them.  FIRST QUARTER MOON You run into resistance, limitation, obstacle even road block but it should only challenge you to reorganise, re-strategise and approach the matter from many directions. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON You might be in your own way. If you think you know something then you do not learn from others and miss an opportunity that would be extremely beneficial. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI This is not a steady stream of consistent energy so for you it can be disconcerting. But the positive interactions, connections and versatility of other people will be enlightening. There are many people to take care of but all of them are not dependent upon you so you find it easier to help the many. You can literally grow out of old issues, malignant emotional states and reorient issues of trust. FULL MOON This will bring anything out of the closet that needs to be aired. It is what you need. CERES RETROGRADE Putting the past behind you and disconnecting from your childhood impressions of your family of origin comes through understanding your family's humanity and having simple compassion for their failings. DISSEMINATING MOON You receive some valuable information and it restores your belief in yourself. This also comes through the admiration of others. Undue stress of current times has been very trying on the nervous system and adrenals but it is the mother of invention. Find your core of cohesiveness and your state of being will not be shredded by this chaotic energy. The unknown works against you if you focus on its apprehension but if you take the time to be reoriented you can be effective even in unsettling circumstances. Do not expect things to work as they have in the past, do not feel pessimistic about this either and you will make your way through this turbulence of contrariness if you can develop a broadminded self-reliant attitude. But if you are too rigidly attached to a set standard it will be difficult to see the social values erode. Be detached, objective, passively observant and let the times congeal the answers or provide the direction because combative frustration only leads to more aggression or repressed anger. You will unconsciously act out your repetitious patterns which others can see and you cannot. It will be through another's disapproval that you are challenged to see through your own walls of standard procedure. There is considerable atmospheric pressure bearing down on you and it feels confining which may cause you to act on unexpected impulse. There is a good old proverb, be yourself, makes mistakes, learn. Sorting out the paradox of relationship takes much rewriting of strategically important comprehension. LAST QUARTER MOON Change the way you handle the routine administration of your life, find a way to make it a happier task. We get into ruts and fail to see ways we can enliven even the most regular day. It will be difficult to deal with the people who are manipulating and twisting, manufacturing the facts and basis of involvement. They have to make their own mistake to be found out. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! BALSAMIC MOON However you develop ideas; be it vision quest, meditation, a visit to the beach or observing the currentness; now is a fruitful time to harness your powers of attraction.  If you thought you were stretched to the limit, become more elastic. This test of endurance is distressing but in the end clarifying and validating. NEW MOON Anything new comes on the heels of an ending of the old and so birth and death are synonymous in current events. But when you feel challenged you tend to focus on the loss rather than the find. You know what you need to do for yourself and have decided how much you have to give to others but you are still not executing in the moment reactions according to these discernments. CRESCENT MOON Dig deep within yourself and brace against the rushing tide of events. Be sure to take time out, get more than sufficient sleep and find a centeredness that is stilling. Your relationship issues are rooted in ancestral origins, biological memory or DNA and the turbulence in the airwaves is stirring this up. Self-empowerment is an easy choice as you can disassociate with history. Different values, beliefs and upbringing can be the distinguishing qualities that come up between you and your chosen mate but the standoff can end if you are more in tune with yourself. VENUS ENTERS CANCER Do not put yourself into your own version of hell by subjectively focusing on deficiencies and old wounds and other irreconcilable impairments. You create your reality, even the deficiencies. FIRST QUARTER MOON If you are a woman who has given birth you know how difficult it was. So too are the periods of darkness before the dawning of illumination and the critical junctures in becoming. Karmic cleansing is occurring, you are experiencing destiny as your fate unfolds.

 

SUN ENTERS TAURUS This energy field will get the subconscious stirring in two directions one positive and one panicking and it would be wise to err on the side of caution. FIRST QUARTER MOON To increase business, obtain a job or promote your services touch base with all your contacts, connections, associations, clients and suppliers. Personal challenges will be better met with flexibility. Being too conditional or demanding, fixed or stubborn will gain you a piece of what you want but not the whole thing. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON It is time to stop the bleed on your finances. There are too many financial commitments to a diversity of interests and tasks. You may have to become selective and more resourceful. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI A pleasant influence for you. It will make your days more enjoyable and relationship agreeable. With charisma and finesse you can obtain what you need from others or for your work. Favours will be called in, you will be expected to do for others because they have done for you but it is not a free-flowing or reciprocal exchange. You can feel guilty towards children or a parent or an x-spouse for example who can use guilt to manipulate what they wish. There is a bit of a showdown, a power struggle that can develop. It occurs within family or work. Order is loosening up, breaking down if necessary and becoming free. Be careful what you lose or discard as you are not being as farsighted or broadminded as usual. FULL MOON Knowing where you stand with others is a good pointer for how to make the best of this generous energy. It can actually increase your finances. CERES RETROGRADE Pondering life from the childlike perspective brings both playfulness and adventure. This is a good time to learn something new. DISSEMINATING MOON You perceive more about others than you usually learn from what you are told, it is as if by osmosis that you get an objective understanding or even visual image. The stressful tension of our times is challenging you to find a different way to deal with your compromises. Some Gemini's may be faced with finding a job and are feeling bewildered in the face of potential rejection. Others may be questioning their choices with regard to work. The rest can feel inspired. The code of social conduct is loosening up and you find this evolution to be creatively inspiring. You will feel more free-spirited and self-expressive within the new state. Relationships can benefit. But friendships that have exaggerated their promises and are not delivering can breakdown. Your ability to earn more money is building up. Business strategies and ambitions cannot be rushed and there is no point in getting testy. Surprise and outrage demonstrates disapproval of authority or status quo but it just may get you your way. Shock and awe attracts the attention of others and flushes out hidden factors. It might be a financial paradox that you find yourself in and the answer may lay in a straight line rather than the zig zag tack. LAST QUARTER MOON Get in touch with the innermost reaches of your mind to arrive at a place of knowing what you need to do next, how to get around the blocks and make progress. There are people involved in your business, job or social contacts that are manipulating conditions to their best favour and goal rather than yours; yet they have you onboard. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON You might consider contemplating how you could change the work you are doing, if you need to hire people to help or if you can contract work out. Social involvements and good meals come hand in hand. Drawing on your connections, associations, network and fellow colleagues you are able to cross-check yourself for validation. NEW MOON It will be your attitude that will help you to sink or swim in the weeks ahead. Be sure to soar with the eagles not sink like a stone! Eagles have been known to overreach themselves when trying to catch a big fish! Play it safe. You have become aware of how you can better fulfil the needs of others and are committed to keeping the balance. CRESCENT MOON You are inspired under pressure to come up with a new way to promote yourself, a new self-image or personal style and look. What you inherited from your ancestors can actually be the elemental component that holds you back. Clearing the cache so to speak requires conscious effort. Intimacy issues of childhood, youth and early relationship do not have to be a part of your future. Get rid of them now. VENUS ENTERS CANCER Old fears, anxieties, possessiveness or even material possessions can hold you back but you can rebirth yourself into a more liberated state under this influence. FIRST QUARTER MOON You are straddling the struggle between good and evil, detached and disassociated from its grasp but all around you in the world there are signs and signals of its occurrence. Realise how this may have a grip upon your inner self and free yourself.

 

SUN ENTERS TAURUS There is a stepping up of the tempo and even excitement as you get out and about more than you have all winter. It feels like coming out of a cocoon. FIRST QUARTER MOON You are assertive, more pushy than is your norm. There is a sense of urgency to everything you are doing. The tenacity with which you approach your goals can be admired as long as you do not plough everyone else over in the process. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON A group travel event can form at this time. You feel comfortable with these old friends and intimate associates. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI If you think you are seeing through things, seeing beyond surface appearances, you are. This helps you to see all sides of other people and each circumstance. You need to air your own personal dissatisfactions and offer your suggestions so you can change the way things are done. Sometimes it is the oldest of friends who put up the most protest to the changes you want to make to yourself. But you do not want anyone to tell you what to do because you are comfortable with your plans. It would have to be someone with more authority than you to change your plan. FULL MOON This increase in magnetic energy is recharging for you. Feeling drained this will pump you back up. CERES RETROGRADE If you experience any childhood issues at this time it is more likely about the main authority figure and their affect on the subordinate parent. Mainly your realisations about childhood enhance your ability to work with children. DISSEMINATING MOON The information that is passed on to you may be shocking or disturbing but once assimilated you understand the humanity involved and improve the quality of the experience. You are caught in a whirlwind of changing spaces. Travel can be good despite the fracases that are in the atmosphere. Home affairs are managed in new ways. You get a refreshing time out. It is as if time slows down in your nucleus as you peer out at the rushing activities of others. Perhaps numb from overload or simply in suspension you will do what you have to do but not much more. A bit uncomfortable with the lack of uniformity in the public and other relations you go in and out of feeling expressive. Contemplate the meaning of it all, consider where opposites come together and notice where exaggerated emphasis creates a riddle. Breaking out of the mold of patriarchy you notice a big difference in your friends, associates and team or work mates. You can be drawn into spending money on something a friend wants you to do but there is no guarantee you will be happy with the purchase. Remember that people are disapproving for the sake of it so do not be misled. The energetic effervescence of the planetary energies fuels your ambitions which set you apart from others. A lot about modern day life is a perplexing paradox for you but it is as if you are suspended in the transition rather than rocked by it. LAST QUARTER MOON There may be opportunity for you to retrieve a recovery on your investments at this time but do not mistake this for the signal to trust the economy. Friends who manipulate and twist things into their false hopes and preferences have issues and inner conflicts that compromise them so abandonment is not an option. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON If you are single it is a good time to contemplate the type of mate that would best suit you, create the design order that the cosmos can then fulfil. Married Cancers can spend some time influencing their relationship to become more balanced in serving each other's needs. This is a good time to lay low and not expect too much from yourself or others and you will be successful. NEW MOON You are suspended in a very pleasant lull which excludes you from the more difficult energies that abound. It is easy for you to find ways to take better care of yourself as well as others. CRESCENT MOON If you make impulse purchases you will be stuck with something. So make sure you purchase things you have always wanted. Traditions, customs, ancestral guidelines and psychological attachments tend to plague your every move but once these issues are rendered three dimensional they are more easily discarded. Being self-realised and contained within your own authority may take disconnecting from the impersonal affects of a relationship with a male authority figure.  VENUS ENTERS CANCER Having this influence in your sign is as good as having a month's holiday. You will feel refreshed and rejuvenated and relationships are enjoyable. FIRST QUARTER MOON Being free to be yourself unfettered from outside disapproval, rule or manipulation is true liberation. You can plan a holiday, enjoy a quick getaway or find that everything slows down to give you a break.

 

SUN ENTERS TAURUS You have a plan and are focused on fulfilling it but will experience logistical problems and criticism from others. It will be difficult to get people to commit. The flaws in your thinking are difficult to identify. FIRST QUARTER MOON There will be quite dramatic, emotional fireworks as a result of being over-ruled. The authority lies in another court and they have a broader perspective. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON An appropriate phase for canvassing or petitioning allies for your cause. You feel that if you can just get enough leverage the powers that be will budge. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI People start talking, sharing ideas, opinions, support and get the energies moving but this also suspends your ideas within a fabric of ponderousness. Rounding up people is not the same as cattle; not all of them follow each other and only some of them share the same opinion so finding a common denominator or consensus is evasive. Calling in personal favours, rallying your longest colleagues and rustling up support from the independents and other types of mammoth undertakings will achieve their goal. People's opinions are split and changeable if not fickle as order is breaking down, falling into its transformed potential. FULL MOON Leo is on the receiving end of intensely magnified up tempo energy that could put you into overdrive. But if you turn this into creative energy or magnetically attracting energy you can manifest your goals. CERES RETROGRADE Childhood friends are a source of comfort and familiarity; they provide you with fulfilling activities and welcome you into their home. DISSEMINATING MOON Your goals will be optimistically improved by the communications you receive and the people who support you. Now it is time to put them into realistic and concrete form. Your plans for travel however, that are dependent on others, will turn out to not be what they want. You can find someone from work or an older friend to accompany you. Be versatile and try not to wrestle with others. Giving everyone the right to their choice can take them in directions you do not understand however it can be summed up each to their own. Do not try to second guess, detect, uncover or penetrate withheld information because it will work against your hopes for improvement. What everyone holds as common cannot be interwoven in common without great awkwardness. You can push to convince and convert but no one is taking anything for granted. Incompatibility rubs you the right way. It is because of the slight irritation that you make futuristic decisions. Insight into the authority and policy of any enterprise you are ambitious about gives you a head start on other competition. Impulses are triggered, erratic energies create chaotic conditions and you cannot be sure that others will be consistent. Inspired by using your ingenuity you are quick to change your alliances. Authority is a paradox to you, self-authority actually. Being full of your own authority and invention excites your molecules which are enlivening but taking centre stage predominantly takes the opportunity away from others to experience the same stimulation. You are learning to share. LAST QUARTER MOON Progress is held in suspension simply because the conditions are not ripe and certain elements or factors need to fall into place. There is no sense getting upset or frustrated it is the way it is. While it normally will help to have a private word with the powers that be or those in a position to judge and rule others, it will be seen as manipulating and twisting things in your favour. Other people contest as it will be unfair to them. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON Put more effort into research and development of longer range plans, work out the bugs and get some insightful renderings for those tricky issues. When you feel strongly enough about something you push ahead against all odds. NEW MOON The weeks that follow should be an excellent time of achievement. You are highly focused and have a healthy perspective. It is wise to give your options considerable amount of thought, in-depth research and to explore the mysteries so you can come to a good conclusion. CRESCENT MOON Entanglements, things you did in the past that create what happens now, will not suit your present day plans. Old friends or maybe elderly family members pay a visit. The ethnic and cultural leanings of your ancestral background play a large part in your current day psychology. By identifying these inclinations you free yourself from an unseen unknown hold-back. You are focused on taking control over others and getting them to manifest your vision. Inspiring people in this way however is far harder than ordering them about. VENUS ENTERS CANCER Maintaining an authoritative approach your position would be that you have the best plan available for the initiative. But of course this is a very subjective adamancy. This is not to question your creative vision just its supremacy. So present yourself a different way for better results. FIRST QUARTER MOON Teamwork will make things possible and further your own ambitions. Engineer the highest aspirations for your team.

SUN ENTERS TAURUS The flow of energy will be a benefit to your sense of weariness. Be self-critical in your analysis of your goals and wishes so you can restructure their intention and thereby attract appropriately. FIRST QUARTER MOON Any challenges that occur to you will relate to fixities of mind, lack of flexibility, rigidity of precept and subjective assertions. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON Curvature of the mind, altered states and warps, strange ideas and unusual cross-references affect communications. You need to consider the source of these short circuits in each case. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI People are going to change their mind. Where it will bother you the most is at work where you have already invested a great percentage towards the project that is near completion. You might feel like you are in a thriller or scary movie plot as everything seems abstract and abnormal which makes it unreliable. Everyone is intense but you have to accept that you are too. The influences of stress and changeability take control and introduce chaos which can put you in a temporary spin. But you are open to redefining, improvising and substituting so you make method out of mayhem. FULL MOON The increase in magnetic energy is a boost to your vitality unless you have been working too hard then it will simply give you a little more strength. CERES RETROGRADE You are more likely to contemplate your own conduct as a parent, child or sibling rather than consider the culpability of others. You want the best for others and sacrifice yourself for them. DISSEMINATING MOON Open to alternatives and possibilities it would be wise for you to listen to the input coming from interested parties. Although you differ on a few points you are in agreement for the most part. Nervous confusion strikes a wide swath of people you need to interact with. Let things ride for now. Retreat into your own seclusive comfort zones to stay on track and not get overloaded. Have no fear to act on your own behalf rather than subjugate yourself to the edicts of others. Pool together all the ideas, viewpoints, perspectives and suggestions to find the common thread of agreement. Indecision can cause you to miss out on an opportunity. You have difficulty in making up your mind. Friendships may end.  The disapproval of others can cause you to act out in ways you will later regret but it reveals you to yourself first and foremost because you see what others miss. The pace is quick and fast, use caution when driving or using machinery. Watch out for the other person. Manage yourself as much as possible so that things do not get out of control. The paradox in your life lies in how much you are involved with friendships or a social existence. LAST QUARTER MOON The structure of your business, employment or responsibilities has to change, the ability to keep it up is dissolving before your eyes. This is actually good news. You can manipulate yourself into believing otherwise. The people who owe you money may be doing some creative accounting. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON Loosen up the grip that life has upon you so that you can have some enjoyment. Now is the time to contemplate how this can be accomplished with minimum disturbance. No doubt you will feel like you are sliding backwards, losing ground and momentum, running into limitations and disproportionate demands but it will clarify and validate your position with others. NEW MOON What dream would you wish to come true? If you could change anything about your life what would it be, think it into manifesting as your visions have a concrete basis. The most important needs are your own and it is time for you to realise this is true. CRESCENT MOON Consider what is holding you back. What is limiting your self-fulfilment? You are moving toward being your own authentic self so these things will stand out. It will most likely occur within your relationships, of all kinds, that you give your authority away. It will not be your relationships that have to change, because unless you do, you will just attract more of the same. VENUS ENTERS CANCER During this time of seeking likeness in others you will discover those who are blocking your progress and freedom and again you need to change you because you cannot change them. FIRST QUARTER MOON Unconsciousness standards, old traditional rules; unspoken boundaries come from your past, your souls past lives and the status quo of society. You are restructuring yourself.

 

SUN ENTERS TAURUS A guilt trip of your own design can motivate you to get out of your lethargy. Of course other people reinforce the action but it takes great effort to hustle yourself out of necessitude. FIRST QUARTER MOON Positive change can occur for you both at work and at home. There may be a pay increase in this for you. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON Definitely think first before you act. Others can compel you to do what they will; but it is up to you to hesitate in your own favour. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI You get a fresh wind, more energy, and find life easier to juggle and enjoy how you feel inside and out. This helps you to blow off the brewing disagreements and conflicts arising of late in both your intimate and casual relationships. But people telling you what to do and not acknowledging your authority or ability undermines your good mood. If you let any of that get inside of you it rumbles and stews around like an indigestible morsel. Everything is changing so ride with this state of flux. FULL MOON Do not take yourself to any extremes because it will drain you more than usual. Use your energy reserves wisely and you will maximise your performance. Positive trends are destined for relationship. CERES RETROGRADE What you cherish and value is what you remember the most about your childhood, parents, family or siblings. How you fit into the dynamic is also what you contemplate. DISSEMINATING MOON Altered states of consciousness and thought pattern cause changes in routine, habit or instinct. What you learn from reading, listening to a lecture, a documentary or are taught offers a change of mind. Current events are moving fast but you still have a touchstone or centre of stability to rely on. Taking up a new responsibility and dealing with the unknown or self-doubt leads you to increased income. Sales and progress are slow and discouraging. Pessimism can creep into your perspective and erode your confidence. Lay low and do less damage, it is just a matter of time. Look back to all that you have learned and see how your diversity has a common thread leading you to where you are currently going. The cohesiveness you gain will assist you in building new foundational platforms of understanding yourself that you can build upon. Finances are frustrating, it seems that the cosmos is working against you, but it is just that what is promised cannot manifest yet. Believe in yourself, it is not you, it is the universal confluence. But even self-disapproval has its motivating factor and probably gets results at this time whereas usually it is degenerative. You can act without thinking, be compelled to impulse and reaction and being somewhat erratic your behaviour is unusual or abnormal and unsettling. This shake up has a positive end result. You are your own paradox; it lies in your consciousness and automatic pilot. LAST QUARTER MOON Your thinking gets stuck in ruts, it burrows in and without realising it you have dropped a preponderance of options. Casual friends may not be playing straight, they manipulate by what they say and how and twist it into what you want to hear. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON Contemplate your career goals or business development because you can broaden your authority if you get over your self-consciousness. Plans you have about your home, domestic hopes and ideas you wanted to accomplish seem stalled. But this lull ultimately helps as you will see in hindsight. NEW MOON Set your sights on long range goals for the year and be happy with small baby steps of accomplishment. Everything depends upon your health and that is the only thing that you could allow to let you down so be proactive. CRESCENT MOON New starts seem to be held in suspension, not getting off the ground with the momentum you had hoped for, but do not think negatively, this is just procedure not fate. It is a good idea to develop a battle plan, if you will; a strategically organised computation of the facts and components of your initiative. By sorting out the details and seeing the correspondences you can plot your course more appropriately to achieve your goals. Approach and method are important. Watch out for family or ancestral predisposition because it comes up within you or resides within you unconsciously. You need to see your way around these ways. Assert more authority with others, be more self-defining and set more appropriate boundaries to suit your shifting self. VENUS ENTERS CANCER Since this field of influence brings with it the need to be with those who care you separate your friends, associates, colleagues, clients, team mates, work mates etc. into their appropriate categories so you do not try to have an inappropriate relationship with them. FIRST QUARTER MOON There is every good chance that you have worked out the bugs in your initiatives and are now ready to promote them with confidence and self-determination.

 

SUN ENTERS TAURUS Your polar opposite sister sign will help you to feel better and brighter about yourself and your responsibilities. But more to the point you feel more vital from the inside out. With renewed strength you can redefine and amend, reorient and restructure with impunity. Listen to yourself, consider others, do what you must. FIRST QUARTER MOON Expect to vent emotionally when the pressure gets turned up to critical maximum. Knowing that your buttons can be pushed can help you to steel yourself against melodrama. Let the flush of adrenaline pass before taking action. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON Consider all the differences, points of view, backgrounds, cultural philosophies, history, family lineage, gender relativity and personalities. Gather the information you need to make an informed decision or rationalisation. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI The more stoically together you are the more people will try to ply your thinking one way or another. If you consult others you will only get their subjective opinion. Use your tools of discernment and thread your way through the minefield of popular opinion to the end result that is correct for you. If you have children, or even children with grandchildren, their needs can become uppermost and be all pervasive. You are going to run into some intensely all-powerful types, some problematic communications, and be subjected to the base emotions of other people. But if you can stay on your mark, remain aloof and true to your highest belief, bending and flexing as if dodging other peoples thoughts, words or actions, no one can affect you. Let the fragmentation of form and structures cause these persecutors to crumble around you without lifting a finger. Stay true to your principles and higher mindedness. Keep your eyes straight ahead. FULL MOON You have a personal relationship with this illumination as it sheds its light on the black and white differences that usually meld into shades of grey. Grasp the wisdom of the moment in order to assimilate and gestate a productive end result over time. CERES RETROGRADE Worthiness throughout your formative years has been calculated, measured and quantified by impersonal factors. You can discard the demeaning aspects of the experience by understanding the contortion. DISSEMINATING MOON The most personal relationships in your life will convey the important information you need to know. It may still take time to come to an equation. It is time to purge family karma. While the chaotic confusion swirls all around you there is a cocoon, nucleus or sanctuary of protection surrounding you at home and work. As a business owner, or if employed in a supervisory role; the trouble with employees can cost you or your company money. The job descriptions, rules, roles and regulations seem to be blurred temporarily. Personally it is time to re-strategise your budget and investment plan. Governing restrictions, rules or requirements may be prohibitive thereby limiting development of your goals. Retreat may be necessary while you focus on how to modify your objectives for longer range progress. Mind sets and inner conflicts would be blocks in your ability to do this. So you must get out of your own way and do some mental acrobatics. Good fortune, higher revenues, increased effectiveness and connectivity is the high velocity spin you are in. The paradox you experience in others lies within. You need to think more about what you are contributing. LAST QUARTER MOON Feeling locked in, unable to budge, under great pressure with no escape is the state that develops when you have not given to yourself enough. Certain family members can manipulate and stretch the truth, twist it into what they want, revealing their imbalances and complexes. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON Creatively brainstorm with yourself in any fashion that suits your entertainment. The internet or other social network is one way, attending functions of interest is another, or just simply initiating conversation.  Anything that is redundant, related to the past, or of no consequence to your future, will not work out. NEW MOON Positive new inclinations surround your primary relationship. If you are single the chances of meeting someone just increased. You and your main relationship are the most important factors in your existence and these are the needs that are priority. CRESCENT MOON Make a wish and believe it can come true! Creative energies bring enlightenment especially about ancestral ties or biological inheritance. Issues of self-empowerment are mandatory. Self-degeneration and devaluation erode your autonomy and cause you to make less financially than you deserve. VENUS ENTERS CANCER Compassion for yourself comes first then you can grow into more compassionate understanding of the rest of humanity. FIRST QUARTER MOON The challenge will be holding your own while maintaining your significant relationship. It is your destiny for your relationship to eventually give you your own "head" so to speak. Be confident in your right to assert yourself.

SUN ENTERS TAURUS This is an awkward stage, perhaps the ugly duckling phase of your unfoldment during the current year. It is the darkness before the dawn when you must hold on to your self-worth for all your might. A change can come for your spouse, or someone of significance to you, with regard to money.  FIRST QUARTER MOON Wholeness of self is much more important than public opinion, other people's judgement or the guilt that makes you feel less than you are. Children are the source of an ever-renewing life force. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON This is tough, because no matter which way you turn you are up against something. Breathe deeply, believe in yourself and no matter what comes up or who tempts you otherwise; stay in your centre. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI In your polar opposite sister sign Venus influences can improve your sense of self just in the nick of time. You can call this the cavalry coming in to save the day. You will find you have more influence and personal connection with the people you meet. The problems or health issues of friends can steer your off-track and change your priorities to meet their needs. Issues of domestic violence against women and children touch your life in a detached way. Homes may fall apart and children may be found in traumatised conditions. But this is not you; it appears to be around you perhaps wherever you are called to help. FULL MOON It is possible for you to lose some sleep because of the increased energies. If you have not been taking care of yourself then health issues might come to the surface now. It is just a learning curve! CERES RETROGRADE You may meet old neighbours or friends from childhood. Events can stimulate old memories and you recall the circumstances. DISSEMINATING MOON Good news can bring financial improvement. This is the perfect time to try your luck. Mental and emotional exhaustion from recent chaotic confusion and anxiety catches up to you. Take things in stride, do not be hard on yourself and stop worrying about what you do not know. There are no fixed and exact absolutes, old standards do not apply, be enthusiastic and curious! Pulling together the similarities and correspondences of what you know you will be brewing a personal stratagem that follows the centre path. Being centred and grounded you will absorb more information and perceive greater insights. Disapproval that you received on the path can block your progress by seeping into your subconscious and making you apprehensive. The velocity of day-to-day events kicks up quickly and changes direction like a wild wind. Take the extra minute to think first because impulses are too inconsistent and create trouble. Your approach toward, or state of finance, is the paradox you face. Sustain yourself through what you value the most. LAST QUARTER MOON If you have erected a facade or persona to act as a camouflage and it is not in keeping with what you consider worthy, you will be self-critical. There might be a question about how to handle your responsibilities. Family members, most likely children will tend to manipulate or twist what they say in the hopes of what they want. Issues with children should be addressed as they relate to parenting. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON Make a wish, look for that falling star! But more importantly decide what it is you want to manifest in your life if you have free choice. If your order is reasonable one day the cosmos will fill it! Romance, conditions around your children, or social planning goes askew but it points out something not so obvious. NEW MOON Financial conditions are on the increase, you can invest in yourself as you are a worthy asset. It will feel good to be getting back on track with each day that passes. CRESCENT MOON New relationships can form. You attract someone different from your usual. This reflects the changes you have been making to yourself. The patterns of worthiness inherited from your ancestral lineage and biological predisposition are not your own. There will be an opportunity for you to prove your authority. VENUS ENTERS CANCER This is feel good energy. Boosted by the pleasant vibrations and enjoyable atmosphere be careful; you may be inclined to spend money too freely. FIRST QUARTER MOON Think before you act. Do not take the word of someone else if you think you know better. Be true to yourself, believe in yourself and question the other guy!

 

SUN ENTERS TAURUS Momentum comes with the sun's occupation of Taurus, the earth sign directly ahead of you. You feel vital, alive, resourceful and full of energy that carries you through your tasks. FIRST QUARTER MOON But a challenge early on in this month gets you stirred up. Assertively steamy and intent upon your objective very little can stand in your way. Just the details, if you miss them. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON The pace picks up, hard to believe but true, acceleration of your everyday existence is palpable. There is lots of territory to cover, errands, chores, jobs, tasks, communications and people to see. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI Your commitments to other people will keep you hopping. Wherever you have agreed to do something you must attend. Perhaps you did not expect everything to come at once. You are looking after your children's children and your friends who have been loyal to you. People in authoritative positions get too full of themselves and try to enforce their parameters of power but you are smarter and less impressed. The ground almost shakes with the rattling of the structural mores and stays. Everything is changing, whatever breaks needed fixing. FULL MOON You mean business and you project this in your manner and through your powers of negotiation. CERES RETROGRADE It is striking to you how different children have it in today's world. But you realise that with every generation there is an impending world situation that is worrisome for the future. There is always something beyond parental control in the social paradigm. DISSEMINATING MOON You can receive money that you were owed in the past. Other news is positive and purposeful. Drawn to what you need life feels charmed. A little speculating or gambling can pay off. Many social activities demand a second look. The accelerated pace of life has been a resurgence for you. The old structure or routine is dissolved and a new standard or organisation is in its place. Old codes of conduct have been expanded upon and you have developed resourceful ways to provide new promotions. You feel like you are on a good path. Pulling together from everything you know and feeling ambitious about being thorough and diligent, you set about to increase your knowledge and practicum on a certain subject. False bravado will not serve you well but well researched procedures and tips from the experienced will contribute to your innovativeness. The disapproval of others should not block you from discovering alternatives and possibilities; some are just set in their ways. Being able to spend time at home will give you the breaks you need from the frenetic and chaotic high velocity energies of everyday life. Getting caught in a maze of paradoxical thinking can be an entertaining experience that you master. If you enjoy games it will be easier to manifest. LAST QUARTER MOON Watch the impulse to spend money, you can justify the expenditure as necessary when it is simply desired, so check your motivations for their intention. Children or pets can be a manipulating factor in your experience of unusual events and it seems somewhat comical. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON It could be time for another five year plan; you appear to have reached a point of attainment and need to create new horizons to master. A reversal of intention may be forced upon you but in the end it is more favourable to your cause. NEW MOON Necessity is the mother of invention and you are discovering and designing, planning and developing longer range plans. It really revolves around needs, the prevailing or most profound personal needs as well as being there as others need you. CRESCENT MOON Power struggles and behind the scenes collaboration may take you by surprise if you continue in your revere. You are comfortable expressing your talents and abilities for which you gain recognition. This you have earned, but others want, and so it goes. Certain attributes of your value system comes directly from your predisposition as inherited from your ancestral line. Consider the conflicts with modern reality. Your authority gains a new light, a different facet, as a youthful evolutionary and metamorphic mutation of you. VENUS ENTERS CANCER Good news travels on these vibrations. You may travel or receive something substantial. It is easier to be flexible and tolerant of others. FIRST QUARTER MOON This looks like a huge push for you to put in those fragile summer annuals or otherwise regenerate the yard. Spring cleaning can also occupy your thoughts as well as energy even if you wish you were doing something else.

 

SUN ENTERS TAURUS It will be the details that will elude you and yet be most important. A document or some paperwork is missing. If it were income tax it could be estimated but not if it is a point of law. FIRST QUARTER MOON A breakthrough will occur. Financial arrangements can be made. The problematic issues are detected and remedial action is taken. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON You are reunited with an old friend or family member and enjoy the company of children. Entertaining social activities or speculation are pleasant breaks from the norm. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI This can bring elation and ecstasy, pleasurable pastimes and interesting new friends or relationships. It can also suspend you in a whirlpool of thought. Consider all points. An animal is unwell, your own or someone you know. There are special needs and a commitment to keep the animal healthy. You question yourself about what you know, doubting but proceeding. A vehicle breakdown can occur. Toxic environments drain your vitality, be sure to get rest and sustenance. The pull between work and home makes you feel like everything is very intense. Expect the unexpected just when you need it the least. Protocol is breaking down. People are not adhering to accustomed formats. FULL MOON This can spin you out a little and cause some disorientation or rattling of normalcy. You are challenged by objective opinion to defend your ideals. CERES RETROGRADE What might plague you from your childhood is any criticism that was disposed upon you. It is curious how unresolved details like this can intercept individualism. DISSEMINATING MOON The information you are receiving will give you some doubt or perplexity, conundrum or question but it comes from a reputable source. Too much confusion and chaos, unprecedented unscheduled happenstances and other deportments are causing you to question the other people in your life. Dissolving the critical analysis that holds you back frees you up to experience wholeness. You feel like you are getting a value-added experience from current events. Polling all of your resources you are able to focus on your project and bring it to completion. There are details or critical points that will be missing. It will take exhaustive research and detecting to acquire these hidden or unattainable facts. Your disapproval of others will reveal your Achilles heel. Allow others their creative space and destined achievements. Be sure to get sufficient rest and a proper diet to nourish the stress ravished kidneys and adrenals so to boost the immune system. There is a paradox that lies in your past that is the key to unlocking the blocks to forward progress now. The unknown can be understood through the imagination. LAST QUARTER MOON Dissolving the mental structures derived from misapprehension is critical in the process of clearing karma to achieve evolutionary purpose. It will be your significant relationships, perhaps mate, but whoever is of more importance who will tend to twist and misshape the tide of events without realising they are tampering with reality. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON Do some creative visualisation about the handling of money and finances, resources and budgetary restraints with green as your theme. Reversals in cooperation can hit you hard. It is like crashing into a cement wall. But if you handle it well and keep your attitude in check you will clarify issues and validate yourself. NEW MOON Old myths are dispelled, nostalgia does not suffice and finding the right method or focus is hard work but you can do it. Your beliefs, ideals, philosophies and unique individualism are the needs you are focused on. CRESCENT MOON It is a little difficult to establish what you want as a directive. The situation seems to keep sliding out of your control. There is a vagueness that permeates any attempt at concretising your initiatives. Your scripts, repetitive random thoughts, definitions, mental imaging and world view seem to be enveloped in ancestral predominance but you are not aware of these correspondences. It is for you to find out. Who are you? Who do others think you are? Who do you want to be? Testy situations can cause these questions to prevail. VENUS ENTERS CANCER Old home week, reunion central, something about getting together with things of nostalgic importance occupies you. Travel plans may go askew. FIRST QUARTER MOON This phase presents challenges for you that you will not see coming and wonder what they mean after they are gone. People can run through your life too.

 

SUN ENTERS TAURUS These influences will pull you out of any winter lethargy and compel you to take up fresh activities, probably out of doors. You will spend money sprucing up the yard or planting a vegetable garden, a playground for the kids or other practical or useful project. FIRST QUARTER MOON If you get provoked you can go off like a hair trigger which is unusual for you. But you are wound up and stretched thin which means any little tug can set you off. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON Objectivity comes on the shirt tales of considering the unprecedented occurrence. Once things are explained to you or you make sense of them you are more in control with understanding. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI You do notice that little irritations are cropping up with people you are very familiar with. It is as if you are noticing their quirks for the first time. You see old long time friends in new ways. A family member has an issue at work and comes to you for grounding and brainstorming. It is quite easy for you to see things objectively. Friends may have problems with their spouse or children and seek you out for conversation. Issues about authority, superiors, bosses, managers or people in positions of power and control create great intensity that you need to diffuse. Order is unpredictable, what was set as a precedent no longer is applicable, not knowing the many alternatives modern times may present causes more stress than necessary. The rules are changing and you do not know what they are. FULL MOON If life were a jigsaw puzzle you would feel like you have all the wrong pieces but as usual discover they are all there. Ride the tide of this fullness of energy. CERES RETROGRADE The secret to why you have suffered from chronic lifetime illnesses becomes your property so you can upgrade your physicality and enjoy long term benefits. The unusual relationship experiences of your life play a part in helping you to realise much about yourself. DISSEMINATING MOON The criticism of others hits you like a brick. While you do not have to take it verbatim there is an ounce of truth that helps you to ground yourself. Everything seems so temporary and transitory that the roller coaster ride of life goes from thrilling to comforting and from there to way past the extremes of fright. Definitions are changing, dissolving the old standards and guidelines creating chaos and disorder which upsets your equilibrium and also your immune system. Relationships are unpredictable or inconsistent and people lack commitment. You might have to expand your boundaries but also reconfigure them at the same time to be more selective. Information overload needs a filter to sift out kernels of truth and value. You will get frustrated with other people because they disappoint your sensitivities but when you give it some thought you understand their humanity. You handle the disapproval of others in new and bold ways, considering the source and letting things roll off your back. The acceleration of life and the increasing diversity of the demands that come from all directions will bring you to entertaining social activities and unusual but exquisite foods. Paradox enters your life through children or romance, choice of individual attainment or your ideals. LAST QUARTER MOON These are good vibrations for you to stretch and expand, appreciate yourself and dream about future promise. If someone manipulates or twists circumstances, changes or magnifies the facts to hide something then be wary of betrayal. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON You can find the missing link, the secret to your mystery, freedom like you have not felt before and liberation rather than chaos. No doubt you will feel like your world is shrinking, regressing, reversing but it is only your imagination. NEW MOON If you think back to what creation of the universe must of looked like you will embrace the disorder and perceive the self-realisation being offered. Take care of your spiritual and inspiration needs first and foremost, but you will never forget about others needs, just simply find virtue in a modicum of selfishness. CRESCENT MOON The last hurrah of overwhelming chaos flurries by you kicking up quite a stir. You have one foot grounded on solid terra firma and the other is gliding the moguls or surfing the waves take your pick. You have grown beyond your ancestral limitations, status quo, standards and conditional expectations but enjoy looking back. You are carving out your own ways and means and enjoy comparing the way things are now to what you came from. VENUS ENTERS CANCER Beautification, pleasure, abundance, good luck; you are on a roll with these influences. Be yourself, make honest mistakes and learn from them but just be. FIRST QUARTER MOON A late spring cold or flu can knock you off your feet if you are not careful. It will be difficult to keep your immunity up as it is constantly bombarded these days.

SUN ENTERS TAURUS The spring in your step and smile on your face is all about Taurean energy moving you forward with pleasure. Do something creative for your health. Work to improve your vitality in every way. A new style and originality waits. FIRST QUARTER MOON You are all fuelled up and raring to go. It would take much to hold you back. A self-starter anyway your aims and ambitions are aided by this phase. New connections at work are functioning well. HAPPY EARTH DAY! GIBBOUS MOON Be careful what you say to whom because it may come back to you. You may not realise what your words convey to another person until you hear them returned via the grapevine. There will be no mistaking the source. VENUS ENTERS GEMINI Exciting possibilities can be developed with the many diversified people that you know in a social or casual way. New lucrative contracts can be discussed. A client or co-worker has an issue that you can lend a hand with. Your friends need your support too. Where there is a will there is a way. Whatever happens; do not let it get you down or sour your attitude with toxic ranting. Things will shift, they are on the verge, so do not take matters so seriously that you disturb self-containment. FULL MOON You get a push; forward momentum to promote yourself toward progress and financial achievement. CERES RETROGRADE Dwelling on family or relationship matters turns into stewing and brooding if not kept in check. You need perspective, objectivity and detachment to understand. DISSEMINATING MOON Take the details and turn them into something of your own invention and design, alter their placidity with a little of your pisaz. The constant shifting and varying involved in dealing with modern transitory times is difficult but it is more demanding on your work. Some of your disgruntlements are simply shadows, ghosts, apparitions and mirages, let them go rather than let them twist you out of shape. You find that conservative old fashioned traditional values seem displaced in the chaotic din of social existence. Moodiness and inconstancy may cause you to seek solitude. Disturbances of the liver can cause biliousness. Galling situations are the source. Nothing stays the same, including your experience of time. So much is happening it is hard to keep track of people. The paradox in your life lies in the never-ending repetitive and nagging faults that you feel you drag around with you. LAST QUARTER MOON You need to break away from rancorousness to create a better and different daily manifestation. New synapses are waiting to be formed. Be healthy and wholesome in body, mind and spirit. Petty peevishness and exasperation can manipulate and twist you out of shape if you let it happen. Take a different approach and change the experience. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  BALSAMIC MOON Changing how you think, rephrasing negative statements into positive counterparts helps you to feel differently about ordinary matters. This will boost your chances of coming up with some new and insightful ideas. Reversals deconstruct the status quo, altering your base of operations but in the end they result in new changes to your work. NEW MOON You like change when you are the one in control creating the newness but when things are disrupted, unpredictable and seemingly never-ending you can get a bit critical and frustrated. Finding the still point or the inner stillness is what the mass consciousness needs and you in particular. CRESCENT MOON You could catch yourself spinning round in circles, darting back and forth or have thoughts crashing into one another mid-stream of their execution. Stop, take a breath, and break the circuit. Your views on children have not changed since conception, or maybe farther back to ancestral predilections and the modern day youth can be puzzling. You long for romance to the point of temptation. You have it upon good authority but you may stretch the point. Impulse purchases should be curbed because they might get you into trouble. VENUS ENTERS CANCER These influences are passive energies that are rejuvenating for you. Your vitality should improve. But you need to deal with your sugar intake. FIRST QUARTER MOON This is a critical turning point for relationship so do not say anything you do not mean or do anything you will later regret. Being aware can redirect the flow toward positive junctions.
