In The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic, Tyler wrote this of great civilizations:

 

"They begin in Bondage. They then go from Bondage to Spiritual Faith. With that Spiritual Faith they develop great Courage. That Great Courage leads to Liberty. Liberty then leads to Abundance. Abundance then leads to Selfishness. This Selfishness then leads to Complacency. The Complacency grows into Apathy. Apathy then degenerates into Dependence. This Dependence brings them full circle back into Bondage."

 

~ Goethe ~ "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

 

HOPI PROPHECY

 

We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For

 

You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.

Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.

And there are things to be considered:

 

- Where are you living?

 - What are you doing?

- What are your relationships?

 - Are you in right relation?

- Where is your water?

 - Know your garden.

- It is time to speak your Truth.

- Create your community.

 

Be good to each other. And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

This could be a good time!

 

There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.

 

Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. See who is in there with you and celebrate.

 

At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

 

The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!

Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.

All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we've been waiting for.

 

--The Elders Oraibi Arizona Hopi Nation

 

Sacred Medicine Readings

The meaning of life is to find your gift; the purpose of life is to give it away.   

~ Pablo Picasso

 

Sacred Medicine intuitive readings offer a deep, comprehensive view of your Living Energy Field. Through the lens of the chakras your inherent gifts are revealed and symbolic insight given into what you are now finished with, the threshold you are crossing, and what you are emerging on your soul path.

 

"When I arrived for my reading I was in a deep funk; my body hurt and my whole spirit felt heavy, sad and negative. I came out of the reading feeling light, joyous, "plugged in" to life again, and virtually pain-free. While later the physical pain returned, the negative feeling of dejection did not. I came away with meaningful images that I can incorporate into daily living that will also help to clear the physical imbalance rooted in the pessimism-pain cycle, enabling me to inhabit my true nature 100 percent."

~ J. Beckford

Merry Month of May

The Fat lady did not sing. She lost her music and the orchestra did not get their invitation. We, the audience, wait and while we wait we dance in the merry month of Taurus.


What Will Be
That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, there is nothing new under the sun. ~ Ecclesiastes 1:9

THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY

 

 

by: Thomas Dekker


THE month of May, the merry month of May,

       So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green, so green!

       O, and then did I unto my true love say,

       Sweet Peg, thou shalt be my Summer's Queen.

        

       Now the nightingale, the pretty nightingale,

       The sweetest singer in all the forest quire,

       Entreats thee, sweet Peggy, to hear thy true love's tale:

       Lo, yonder she sitteth, her breast against a brier.

        

       But O, I spy the cuckoo, the cuckoo, the cuckoo;

       See where she sitteth; come away, my joy:

       Come away, I prithee, I do not like the cuckoo

       Should sing where my Peggy and I kiss and toy.

        

       O, the month of May, the merry month of May,

       So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green, so green;

       And then did I unto my true love say,

       Sweet Peg, thou shalt be my Summer's Queen.

Putting Ourselves Back Together Again



Lighthouses of the Spirit

  ~ Silver Birch

A former president of the Spiritualists' National Union and once vice-president of the College of Psychic Studies, Percy Wilson became one of Spiritualism's elder statesmen before passing on at the age of 84. Cradled in Spiritualism, his grandfather was a Unitarian minister who became a Spiritualist medium and preacher. So it was that Silver Birch gave Percy and his wife Winifred a warm welcome when they visited the Hannen Swaffer home circle, which met at the NW London flat of Maurice Barbanell, the guide's trance medium. Silver Birch asked Percy how he was, to which he responded, "I am very well, but tired . . . too much work, but that is better than too little." Here is what the guide told him.

 

EVEN those who have experience sometimes forget they are manifesting in physical bodies which are only machines, very complex and intricate, but machines. They have to rest, otherwise they wear out.

 

Your task is not finished. There are still threads to be woven into the tapestry. You will leave your mark on your world and on all these truths which have meant so much to you during the whole of your earthly life.

 

You have been richly blessed. Only those who are aware of the very close proximity of the spirit and can feel even though they cannot see its radiance, realise how truly precious is its power, glory and beauty.

 

It is limitless because it is infinite. This is the power I call the Great Spirit and

Other's God, the epitome of love, knowledge, wisdom, truth and inspiration.

 

Part of this wondrous power of the spirit is around and about you all the time, ensuring that you are girdled by this great love. This confers a great responsibility to ensure that all that is done should be of the purest, highest and the most sacred.

 

The trouble is not so much, although that is bad enough, with those who are ignorant, but with those who have a little knowledge. These are the ones who cause some confusion and trouble because they give priority to personality and not to principle.

 

We are concerned only with spreading truth and ensuring that the power of the

spirit finds its fullest expression wherever it possibly can.

 

I do not have to tell you that what we are offering is a sublime power which can prove its inherent beneficence by its ability to heal, to inspire and to achieve results that are of themselves indicative of its divine origin.

 

We are not concerned with wordy dissertations and arguments over formulae. Leave all that to the arid theologians. They can delude themselves for many long years arguing about the things which do not matter and have no relevance to religion or to spiritual reality.

 

Here we all are, emissaries of the greatest power in the universe, channels for the divine. We have the means of offering to those who are ready to receive what is truly the richest spiritual boon that mankind can have.

 

The power is there as a demonstrable fact. And the implications are there, patent for those who have the discernment to appreciate what they entail.

 

Once understood, these bring liberation, freedom from thraldom to all who are at present lost in a self-constructed maze. Here is the way out for them so that they can live as the Great Spirit intended.

 

They could be souls exercising noble gifts, talents and faculties, serving others less fortunate than themselves, showing how to build those foundations in your world that will ensure peace; harmony and concord shall be the lot of many who are underprivileged and living in circumstances and conditions that are a disgrace to the divine spirit latent within them.

 

This is what we are offering to those who are prepared to put their shoulders to the wheel and to serve wherever they can.

 

Those who stand in the way must suffer, especially if they have the knowledge. Sooner or later they will be discarded because the divine scheme must be fulfilled.

 

I do not have to tell you it is part of the plan that the power of the spirit should girdle the whole globe, so that in every land there will be lighthouses of the spirit pouring forth their rays to guide weary travellers to those sanctuaries where they can find inner peace and fulfil themselves.

 

This is the purpose for which you and others came into your world. It is also the task performed by many great souls who, though they have quit your world, are still dedicated to it and will continue to serve wherever they can.

 

It is sad that so many have lost the vision splendid which attracted them in the first place. But we must continue the task to which we have laid our hands, ensuring that the power and truths of the spirit shall prevail and that no institutions, no men and no combinations of men shall succeed in dislodging that power and those truths now permanently in your world.

 

You cannot measure what has been accomplished or the extent of the service you have rendered. If you have helped one soul to find the way it is worthwhile.

 

If tears of sorrow have been removed from the eyes of one mourner, if only one sick person has been healed, then it is all worthwhile.

 

Here the guide paused and said to Percy Wilson, "What would you like to ask me?" He replied:

 

"What words of mine can match or approach what you have just been telling us? I never feel so much solace and inspiration as when I listen to you from the other world.

 

"It is so refreshing that it gives, not so much comfort, for that enters into it, as

the resolve or the will to go on and do what one can." The guide replied: Yes. This is what we must do once our hands have been placed on the plough. We must continue the furrow, not turning to the left or right.

 

We must finish the task to which we have been assigned and to which many of us assigned ourselves.

 

Mr Wilson commented: "Long ago I was persuaded by my friends in your world to turn common ideas of service upside down.

 

"It has long been part of my vision that if I can help any people then they are

doing me a service." Silver Birch responded:

 

That is true, for they are enabling you to fulfil your destiny. Self-fulfilment is

part of spiritual regeneration.

 

The soul can express itself only when it is helping others. This is where the spiritual law is an apparent contradiction of physical laws.

 

The more you give away of your spiritual riches the richer you are. If you desire to evolve, grow and progress, you have to forget self and serve others, but only those who are ready to be served.

 

We are not interested in the challengers, those who say, "Convince me if you can." We do not want to convince people. They must convince themselves.

 

Each child of the Great Spirit gets an opportunity during earthly incarnation to acquire that knowledge and experience which will enable the individual to fulfil his or her destiny. The natural law encompasses all. There are no exceptions.

 

It is a tribute to the infinite wisdom that has devised laws to ensure that nothing

and nobody can be overlooked in what is really a cosmic scheme. Throughout this

vast cosmos there is the harmonic pattern of the natural laws in operation, ensuring that all is in concert.

 

You have had some association with the making of earthly laws. You know how they are full of problems because of the inherent imperfection in all manmade law.

 

It is impossible for man to devise laws that will control all the circumstances which they are designed to control. But there are no exceptions to the natural laws which do not have to be repealed or changed.

 

They are constant. They have always been in existence and always will be. What a wondrous tribute is this to the divine law-maker indicative of the perfection which rules the universe.

 

In your world, you meet with circumstance, difficulties and frustrations that sometimes make your hearts sink. You say: "This is too much! What are they doing about this?"

 

'They' know all about it. These problems are parts of the plan. We rest the whole of everything we have to offer on the infinite perfection that is responsible for the entire scheme.

 

Man may fail; the Great Spirit cannot fail. When you are tired, weary and dispirited and others behave not as they should, which is sometimes known to be a human habit, realise that no matter what it seems on the surface all is divinely well and a supreme plan must fulfil itself.

 

Where you have human beings you will have troubles. All human beings are at differing stages of spiritual development and so cannot see the same problems the same way. It must be so.

 

Those who are fortunate enough to be a little more evolved should always try to have compassion, tolerance and understanding for the ones on the lower rungs on the ladder. After all, no matter how high we have reached, there are still some rungs awaiting us.

 

I can only say to all the servants of the spirit that you are asked only to do the best you can, no more and no less. When you have reached what seems to be the end of your tether and apparently can do no more, then leave it. We will take it up from there and finish the job.

 

We will not dictate, nor will we seek to compel. But we will co-operate to the utmost limits of our ability to serve you as you try to serve others, so that together we can help the power of the spirit to be known further and wider.

Incubation of possibilities

Surrealism by Melanie Authier

 

 



We have been in incubation, a very surrealistic state. The universe and the powers that be provide life support while we sort through the what, where and how of where we landed after the evolutionary mix master of 2012 through to the spring equinox of 2015. We have broken through, broken away or received revelations that we must now ponder and diffuse while observing the deeper urges that slowly start to surface. We cannot afford to dally with uncertain obligation in irreconcilable situations. Nor can we expect that everyone will be at the same stage or state at the same time; each of us will turn our faces to the Sun and blossom in our own time. We are developing our reincarnational purpose and were born to witness this time on earth. This incarnation is of vital and primary importance to the destination of our evolutionary soul. It is not so much about consequences; we have dealt with them a lot over the last few years. It is about intentions.

 

Now that the Sun strides proudly into Taurus it will bring a change to the airwaves. Hopefully this means fairer weather for most regions. Nature awakens with the creative stimulation of this sign. Our tactile senses are stronger. We sense more and need to realise that 100% of the population is not necessarily on board with the evolutionary, ascensional or self-realised shifts we have awareness about. In every life there is a purpose, some people pursue an understanding of it and others live serendipitously; dancing around its discovery. We are all one and we need to understand each other to make the grade in this level of self-development. We are all bound together on this Earth, interdependent on goods, services, the air we breathe and the rain that falls. We need to realise that we are bound together by human nature too. We cannot condemn others for not being able to be a good person; yet. The system cannot be blamed for its injustices either. Almost everyone on the earth is here to fix their flaws and round out their character, how can what they create be perfect?

 

There will be PDD, power deficit disorder; it takes over those who are driven by their own pain. We become even more aware of these pockets of human nature in this multi-dimensional world. Let the flaws of life be what they are. This is a turning point and life is shifting into a new era which makes these types of things happen more profusely. Acknowledge what it is. Give as much care, nurturing and kinship, support, sympathy, trust, willingness to listen, empathy and sharing as is possible. There have been many big changes, shifts or transformations whichever applies. We have been wandering around the surreal landscape of our breakthrough or break away trying to grasp the greater dimension we are evolving toward. At this time we can tune into these higher octaves and feel like we can get to work. Mercury will pivot on its dot and begin one of its regular retrograde periods appropriately as we reach a point of choice.

 

The ever present electronic device may be nearing the end of the honeymoon phase. We discover the faults, wastefulness and anxieties in electronics and related services. These are transitional times, an era of internet reform perhaps. It is time to clean up the fringe aspects of electronic usage. We have a sense of where the future can support opportunity. We think about long term goals.

 

No nation or individual is totally self-sustaining therefore survival depends on cooperation and interdependence. We can only save what is valuable from the past as we create a new model for future generations to carry on. The need to develop our relationship with the natural resources of the earth will take us back to our pagan roots for the simple reason that a balanced relationship with nature was paramount and males and females enjoyed an egalitarian society. We are on the bridge to everywhere.

 

Make me one who is most patient;

Make me one who is most grateful;

And make me small in my own eyes

But make me great in the eyes of others

 

 Many Blessings, Sam

20TH The Sun strides proudly into Taurus along with its entourage bringing a change to the airwaves and hopefully fairer weather to most regions.Nature awakens with the creative stimulation of Taurus. Our tactile senses are stronger. Enjoyment of the arts, music, fine foods, warm bubble baths, natural things and physical contact is enhanced. Pleasure comes through the familiar. Slow, methodical, patient and persevering we can stick with the endurance course. Greater stamina is provided through these vibrations. A broken promise, a disloyal act or contradictory behaviour however will not be forgotten. It will be overcome. Once all is said and done Taurus is where we can pick up from where we left off. Security mindedness, long term longevity and modest comfort are given high value. We refine what we need without compromising what is important.

 

21ST Mind power works out those hard to deal with details. We cannot build our next project until the plans for it are corrected by way of indomitable attention to rightful strategy. Pulling together the pieces of our reality takes a lot of energy and then again more will power to rearrange and improve our mental molecules. Breaking through to a new reality is only the first step. What follows is the flow of progress behind the initiating actions, assertions and mental creations. It is never fast enough but because of that it is usually more thorough. No point in becoming frustrated with the snags and tributaries; that will just create more delay. Masculinity meets up with feminine militancy which could create quite a skirmish. We resolve our conflicts and manage people to get to where we want to go. Immunity takes a dip; we can get caught with a spring cold. Take an immune booster.

 

Question everything. The way a person uses their power is an important thing to know. Try not to get blindsided by those who connive and conspire using gossip as a weapon of infiltration. Self-propulsion becomes very important. Are you driving your own ship to a preferred destination? There will be opportunities to turn toward gain and success. Whatever appears to be out of our control will be reconsidered in our long-range goals. Strong ambition and reformation provides favourable outcomes. The law of attraction is very strong but so too are cause and effect or karma. At this point the one thing we want to avoid is creating new karma or getting caught up in the karma of others. Let them be for now. It is important for their metamorphosis that they find their own way. If it is toward us great, if it is away from us this must be accepted.

 

We start the solar month on a note of promise. The Crescent Moon phase of the Sun/Moon cycle cradles us in our incubation period with regenerating life support systems on full. It takes time to clean up after the years of storminess we have had, to take stock and clear up the debris. We need to let things gestate. There are many pieces to fit together. One idea we can use is to get a jig saw puzzle and place it somewhere in our home out of the way but accessible and spend some meditative moments putting it together over a long period of time. It will give us practice for what we are doing now. Take the time, some of the pieces look like they fit but they are as usual deceiving and will not allow us to build upon the design.

 

22ND Happy Earth Day!

 

All you creatures with wings, Eagle and Bee, Ichneumon Fly and Wren,

As you fly on our Mother's breath, I, your little sister, ask you,

Carry my heartbeat Morning Prayer in your wing beat:

 

"How I love you -

How I thank you -"

Carry it up to our Mother's lap,

Carry it into our Father's ear,

Carry it three times around the belly of the Earth.

-Megan Boyd

 

24TH We come to grips with parental dysfunction, or our dysfunction in the eyes of our parents. At this time in some way we need to step into an individualised sense of correctness. That is when others do not enforce what is acceptable or approved of and are no longer an imposition or interference. If we do this we make peace in body, mind and soul and no longer measure ourselves against another's ambitions, habits, schedules, rules, conventions, expectations or curfews. Young people need the help of their parents who need to recognise when it is necessary to stop enforcing what is acceptable or approved of. We are the guardians of these incarnating souls, not the owners. Let us not make genetically modified human beings out of our children. We were created to create; we cannot take the credit for our creations, except that they are healthy. For that we are responsible.

 

As we set about to change our life because of what has been revealed to us events are forming in surprising ways. We have a lot of energy to kick off our new endeavours. If we are still in the breaking through or breaking free stage there is a degree of rebellious defiance. It is rash, impulsive and accident prone but it makes innovation happen. We need to be creative in how we assert our individuality and how we set the example of what we believe in; there is a constructive way of doing it. With room to move and the motivation to make improvements we shift into place. Those that are still flailing around, no one will understand but you. Take care with sharp instruments or tools and when driving because of this unsettled unpredictable energy.

 

25TH Hold onto faith, hope and optimism! We are sorting out entanglements that are blocking the productivity of our personal growth, understanding and creativity. A paradox or riddle will present itself and require sacrifice to solve the problem. Old methods, custom, tradition or belief does not work this time. Modern life challenges require that we integrate broader social philosophies into our focused attentions.

 

The Sun-Moon angle has reached the First Quarter Stage. This is the first crunch in the monthly cycle. Whatever bears down on us has a solution, reconciliation or alternative. Get rigidities out of the way and do not listen to the harshness of other people's opinions. It is important to think for ourselves and follow our own magnetic attraction. Changes will happen, not just for ourselves but those around us too. Those that need a more even tempered atmosphere may not be feeling very well. Perhaps it is nervous exhaustion but fatigue will overcome anyone is has become worn down. Step away from intensity and let the shift happen.

 

26TH  Moving forward we will be held back by feeling sorry for people, or wanting to save them. In this instance it is an unrealistic perception and expectation. Strong psychic sensitivity affords us great empathy and compassion but if it is mixed with too much idealism it leads to disillusionment and disappointment. We cannot afford to dally with uncertain obligation in irreconcilable situations. Spirituality matters; it will be very important to us even if there is no common ground, connection or compatibility within our relationships to support our beliefs. Being creative and expansive we will bridge this gap to fulfil ourselves.

 

Financial dependency will create such tension that the person supporting the other feels cheated. Whether it is appropriate or not, misunderstandings arise. Do not knit this into reality; creatively find ways to contribute more or make extra effort to see what a person contributes and reduce the sense of a burden. We need to be wary of problems like deception, victimisation, inappropriate self-sacrifice, hidden costs, uncertain financial arrangements and unrealistic attitudes toward finance.

 

28TH Revealed are the weaknesses and dysfunctions of our situation and the people involved. Our resultant wilful assertiveness finds the best fix for the moment and gets on with moving forward. A surge of courage takes a stand. Our destructive patterns, caused by old wounds, need to be diverted so that decisions are not constructed with negativity. If we cannot overcome our failings and resolve old repressed energies then we are likely to become ill. It is another way of deciding what to do. If helplessness and hopelessness sets in we can decide everyone has turned against us. The animus or warrior is alive in this energy. Exploitive greed can be the reaction of those who feel they have no rights.

 

29TH The Gibbous Moon Phase occurs as the Moon's disk is almost full. We are gathering information, thinking outside the box and choosing alternatives to our normal preferences. Guided from within we are not afraid to make change, decide differently and make a creatively new and unfamiliar plan. There will be a cheering section, encouraging our performance but there will also be intense competition. We cannot fault the sorting process, opportunity will come to the person or persons who best suit its potential for growth. We may not be able to select our opportunity; it may be selected for us. If it is, then it suits our authenticity.

 

30TH In retrograde, Pallas Athena steps back in time regressing into Sagittarius asking us to give everything another look. Going back over certain things helps us to find the threads that need to be unified with how we see things now. A freer field of perception uses our resourcefulness in advantageous ways. The truth will set us free. Otherwise we are unified and made more whole. Laughter and humour evaluates real worth and brings healing. We benefit from receiving spiritual knowledge or achieving mental attunement. We will wax philosophically. There are strategies being launched against the jihadists. We must leave it to the regional expertise.

 

31ST Mercury high steps into Gemini, moving so quickly we would think it is walking over hot coals. That is what gets us into trouble, a deluge of random thoughts. We are formulating inner realisations broadly and shallowly so we can lose cohesiveness. The quickened mind is stimulated, diversified and lively but it can be too busy. In a kafuffle the mind can scatter. Directed, mental power can successfully achieve simultaneous things. There is an urge to write, to get away or learn something new. Easily distracted, quick to debate and full of our own opinion not everyone will be able to attain focused direction with this brightened mind.

 

1st  

 

 

 

Happy May Day! The earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian times, with the Floralia, festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, held April 27 during the Roman Republic era, and with the Walpurgis Night celebrations of the Germanic countries. It is also associated with the Gaelic Beltane, most commonly held on April 30. The day was a traditional summer holiday in many pre-Christian European pagan cultures. While February 1 was the first day of Spring, May 1 was the first day of summer; hence, the summer solstice on June 25 (now June 21) was Midsummer. ~ Wikipedia

 

We started last month in incubation. The universe and the powers that be provided life support while we sorted through the what, where and how of where we landed after the evolutionary mix master of 2012 through to the spring equinox of 2015. We have broken through, broken away or receive revelations that we must now ponder and diffuse while observing the deeper urges that slowly start to surface. We ponder the questions that come up and diffuse the conflicts of recent times. Our nature, primal drives and instincts are in high definition. Inherent proclivities are sacred.

 

A little obsessive-compulsive we feel life looms larger than us. Detachment keeps us in league with our destiny during these shape shifting psychological processes. We penetrate the hidden, unknown and unseen to illuminate the facts. Personal power is used in service to clearheaded ideals. We cannot have 100% of the population on board with evolutionary, ascensional or self-realisation related shifts. There will be PDD, power deficit disorder; it takes over those who are driven by their own pain. They manipulate, control and dominate. A cruel streak would mow down and drag along anyone who gets in their way or comes into play. Cold indifference treats people as if they do not count. They would be a wasted effort.

 

3RD Happy normal Full Moon...it has been awhile since we experienced the simplicity of fullness. It is almost peaceful if we are in the right gear. The disharmonious will stand out and those who feel the need to be in control too. We do not want to be controlled. We recognise the insufficiencies of those who are trying to control everyone and everything. We can separate ourselves from people we have known for a long time because we recognise that we are not in league with each other and no longer resonate. This is not just being out of touch, but an innermost feeling that it is a never again situation. Separate pathways severed at this time will no longer intersect. We get validated by people of like resonance and move ahead in that swarm.

 

We will learn to form better judgment, method, rule, organisation and guideline. In order to avoid being stumped by our inflexibility we will get so shaken up and scattered we cannot remain rigid. In order to get unstuck, delimited, unrestricted and be accepted we need to let go. If we cannot let go then these energies will help. There will always be opportunity to continue this process. If circumstances cause extreme reactions or a crisis there is more personal work to be done. Anything can be restrictive. If it even hints at suppressing free spiritedness it will be considered a challenge. In the moment we feel irritated and oppressed by a force we can do nothing about. Although change is necessary for continuance we do not have to wreck everything we just need to adjust. With each step we are making course corrections.

 

7TH The mind is capable of focusing and concentrating on innovative and intuitive ideas. We are able to present our vision to advocate liberation and to implement non-possessive mutual agreement. We can infuse original and universal impulses into our personal dedications between people. It is possible to foresee changes in career. The ever present electronic device may be nearing the end of the honeymoon phase. We discover the faults, wastefulness and anxieties in electronics and related services. These are transitional times, an era of internet reform perhaps. It is time to clean up the fringe aspects of electronic usage.

 

The fullness of the Moon's reflection of the Sun will broadcast its profound riches during the Disseminating Phase. Great distribution spills out of the cracks in the etheric veil. We are enlightened where we used to be haunted by ghosts of the past. Many changes of mind move rapidly through the rational mind. It can have its crazy-making moments but overall the end result will be exemplary. People can slip away as relationships dissolve for reasons beyond examination. Each soul magnetically moves toward their destined resonation. So too our relationships to things will change form, be corrected or refined as in how we define and structure. We are recreating ourselves in our organic essence and following our higher self. Good work!

 

8TH Venus in Cancer should be a good thing and for the most part it will be with some exceptions. Somewhere down the road it will intersect with Pluto's position in Capricorn which makes some intense things happen in relationship. If it starts to build early on it will reach quite a crescendo halfway through and the diminuendo will clear out unnecessary baggage, material possessions, hidden fears, anxieties and resentments. Very strong emotional tides stir up the depths. We take our commitments more seriously and want total communication. Do not rush out to fill in the missing pieces, the large chunks of life that have been evacuated. Let the flaws of life be what they are. This is a turning point and life is shifting into a new era which makes these types of things happen more profusely. Acknowledge what it is. Give as much care, nurturing and kinship, support, sympathy, trust, willingness to listen, empathy and sharing as is possible. Be thankful for what others share. Hindsight is twenty-twenty.

 

9TH Hesitation dances on our dot. We have listened and been polite but we still cannot get ourselves passed certain aspects of our mind sets. We need to deal with our issues, not ask someone else to negotiate them but really face ourselves head on. If someone else disapproves of us we are likely to get more pernickety about what we really need to avoid. Strategies get reworked to the detriment of our health. We go over and over and over them. It might be better to just be. If we inflate things we will distress them. If we get sparks flying just back out of the situation and let the hot embers die out. Sitting with ourselves quietly gets a whole lot more done. A new expression will find its way into us to expand our scope.

 

10TH Happy Mother's Day  

Mother's Day is a modern celebration honouring one's own mother, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. The celebration of Mother's Day began in the United States in the early 20th century; it is not related to the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a celebration of the mother church, not motherhood).Despite this, in some countries Mother's Day has become synonymous with these older traditions.

 

Preoccupied with ourselves and rightful strategy we are so full of our own independent self-interests any approach or tug on our attentions is received defensively. We are overly critical of other people's wants and wishes because we are so intensively engaged with our own inner dialogue. Forget the chip; some people have a brick on their shoulder. It is more likely some innocent bystander will be the recipient of another person's contamination. Leave everyone alone to do what they want. If we poke them they may do exactly what we do not want them to do. Hidden agendas will be revealed along with losing propositions. Boost the immune health, these are aggressive energies and the immune protection is inattentive.

 

11TH The Last Quarter Moon Phase is a check up. We do quality control and make appropriate adjustments and adaptations. We back out or change our mind if necessary. If successful there will be more plans to be made for future involvement. We take stock and are willing to make serious decisions. Letting go greases the wheel for things to happen. A change in strategy pays off. We are magnetically drawn to the right people, information or direction. Intuition and imagination are strong and healthy. Necessity makes us inventive and adaptable. We remember good times and the people who helped us along the way.

 

Our energy gets turned on rapidly. Excitement grabs our interest. We are changeable and curious. Gemini can be scattering and Mars is our ability to act or accomplish. This can be highly nervous energy. It is a challenge to stay focused and in the moment. Will power and steadiness of action is intermittent. People lose interest quickly. Impatience causes misunderstanding and wrong action. Fidgety and restless we act on our impulses and find that our scattered passions make us feel tired. Travel can be fun, sightseeing, hiking, networking, socializing, biking and joy riding fit the resonance. Day to day experience will be up, down and sideways but very versatile. Clean up miscommunications; get caught up with paperwork, correspondence or writing and make lists to handle the immediate priorities. Routine will be difficult to uphold.

 

12TH Ancestral patterns and biological memory traces are plucked from our attitude if they interfere with our strength of purpose. Due to the recent eclipse and Pluto's retrograde we cannot hang onto the inappropriate. We need to be mindfully flexible and ultra aware of that which is beyond our control. We are building the courage to act. In the meantime we are carving out a securely empowered position. Once we have established security within our mind we can expand on it out in the world. The survivalist within is more mindful and ultra aware. Magnetism links us to what we need to improve our resonance.

 

Disclosure clarifies sorts, resolves, discovers, balances, corrects and rethinks realisations in a more wise consideration. We find wisdom by sharing and equality with what we do not want to give up. Our mind merges with other minds and gains in objectivity and proportion. Internal conflicts and imbalances are given relevance and significance. We find the answers we seek without blame. In the process our uniqueness is validated.

 

13TH Healing comes to the soul. We experience a purified wholeness that comes from being true to the self and never giving up. Self-sufficiency is a high expectation, one worthy of reaching. We can sublimate our desires, passions and temptations into greater competence. In accord with our core creative fires we inspire and are inspired. We share and receive, assist and are helped, uplift and are uplifted. Healing is given and received as is an awakening to intellectual stimulation. We open ourselves to expand our horizons and help other people realise their possibilities too. We can forego, surrender, sacrifice and devote ourselves. Dedication to keeping the integrity of something is a role we cannot turn down.

 

14TH Ascension Day

The Balsamic Moon is rich with purpose for whatever is at the heart of our inspired self. We slide the door back and walk out into a new opportunity. Greet mid-May with open arms and divorce the self from fear, impairment and hesitation. We can go forward leaving the past behind while creatively forging new expectations. The relationships that do not support our quest may not be able to come to our new dimension with us. No matter how hard we try they just do not fit in. This is the crossroads of like-mindedness and purposefulness. We need to take care of ourselves like never before. Nurture the body, mind and soul.

 

Personal responsibility, self-discipline and constructiveness will create stability. Self-authority attends to decisiveness. Self-restraint during times of limitation, restriction, inhibition, irritation, delay, mistake or restrictive rule gets us passed the critical juncture in our situations. We can face the end of something that has collapsed or been defeated. Or we can be rounding the corner to the final leg of completion. Our weak spots are revealed. Restructuring turns us inside out. Some people vent anger and grievance in an ego conflict with the first available victim. We can get blindsided or caught off guard by them.

 

16TH  

The "Sacred Marriage" was "joyously and rapturously" celebrated in the ancient eastern Mediterranean for over two thousand years. "Sacred Marriage" translates Classical Greek hieros gamos, originally the marriage of Zeus and Hera {Juno}. It is a ritual connected with fertility. In historic times, the main aim was "to decree a good fate for the king and his country".

 

Two planets representing mythically superior immortals will commune in haughty ceremonial regalia fit for their feast. Their symbolic idealisation can border on self-righteous extravagance. Both are elaborately convicted of their personal powers of influence. If we share philosophical, educational or religious beliefs with others there will be much to celebrate in making contact. Disparage will be very evident and not easily tolerated. This can be symbolic of professionals or public officials in high standing meeting for diplomatic negotiation. There is a high degree of arrogance in this energy but also a desire to arrange a complete meeting of minds on mental, emotional and spiritual levels. The bar may be too high but it will be a worthy attempt. There is good luck with money, contract or arbitration.

 

17TH There have been many big changes, shifts or transformations whichever apply. We have been wandering around the surreal landscape of our breakthrough or break away trying to grasp the greater dimension we are evolving toward. At this time we can tune into these higher octaves and feel like we can get to work. Restless to get going or discover the next step we seek out new opportunity. We become very future-oriented. We have a sense of where the future can support opportunity. The unforeseen, sudden surprising or unexpected can occur. Be free, allow new opportunities, be tolerant and listen psychically. We can grasp greater dimensions, work with the evolved mind. It is possible to be in the power of now.

 

18TH The problems that will come up are not coming from powers beyond our control. They are very much from our subconscious control. The use of personal power is in question. We will be faced with sorting out however we give ourselves the most difficulty. Negative expressions such as mistrust, resentment, jealousy, manipulation, destructiveness, greed, anger, hostility, pettiness and other toxic dysfunctional behaviour leak out of our psyche. These are harmful interactional patterns we need to identify, understand and remedy. Intensity builds implosively. There are riddles and puzzles to solve. Issues of equality, injustice and propriety are surfacing. Inappropriate attachment needs to give way. The more we struggle the worse it gets. Stop struggling. Forgiveness brings healing.

 

Mercury will pivot on its dot and begin one of its regular retrograde periods. Mercury's orbit is stationing; standing still or trying to, at the entrance to one of the busiest minded signs; Gemini. Nothing really stands still in this air sign; it just becomes perplexed and complicated. Expect this retrograde to be more bothersome than most if the details of life are your expertise. We can get a lot done, complete a to-do list and socialise if we are not too concerned with order and organisation. This is not a good time to purchase machinery such as cars, computers or communication equipment. We may experience electronic problems or petty irritations with such devices. It will be instrumental in breaking up deeply engrained mind sets and emotionally driven behaviour. By airing our thoughts we may find more understanding in our relationships. Think about long term goals; in every life there is a purpose, some people pursue an understanding of it and others live serendipitously; dancing around its discovery.

 

19TH Odds and sods plague us and divert our mind from synchronised performance. It is difficult to take things in stride. We feel like a misfit. Think before speaking or acting. Little problems, faults in the details, failings and flaws or interruptions test our flexibility. Sway, bend and flex as things happen. Do what can be done and resign to do better when it can be done. Confidence should not be undermined. Assurance needs to be good natured. We may not do what we thought we were going to do but our instincts will disclose deep truths. If it is possible take some quiet time, meditate, intuit and dream.

 

20TH We are at a point of choice. We are developing our reincarnational purpose. We were born to witness this time on earth. This incarnation is of vital and primary importance to the destination of our evolutionary soul. It is not so much about consequences; we have dealt with them a lot over the last few years. It is about intentions. This life's resolutions create our next destination and state; be it in another life or in another dimension. We have received our performance review. We know how well we have done and what we want to achieve in the next five years. A commitment to our path is all we need.

 

What not everyone realises is that we are building bridges for our afterlife and next incarnation if it is our destiny. We are all one and we need to understand each other to make the grade in this level of self-development. We are all bound together on this Earth, interdependent on goods, services, the air we breathe and the rain that falls. We need to realise that we are bound together by human nature too. We cannot condemn others for not being able to be a good person; yet. The system cannot be blamed for its injustices either. Almost everyone on the earth is here to fix their flaws and round out their character, how can what they create be perfect?

 

It is possible to know the darkness that lurks within people because we have it within, choose not to do it and work with it more positively. We choose to not employ those weapons using intelligence and capability instead. Being called to a higher standard it is not in our consciousness to fail our values and beliefs. However, no nation and no individual is totally self-sustaining therefore survival depends on cooperation and interdependence. We can only save what is valuable from the past as we create a new model for future generations to carry on. The need to develop our relationship with the natural resources of the earth takes us back to our pagan roots where a balanced relationship with nature was paramount and males and females enjoyed an egalitarian society. We are on the bridge to everywhere.

 

 

Taurus Monthly Forecast
Happy Birthday to all Taureans; your month starts on a positive note. The year ahead will be a busy one filled with everything you have thought about, actively pursued, wished for, cared about and are reaching toward. You are aware of disclosures and resolutions that are coming in the near future but you will enjoy ringing in the solar month of Taurus. Constructing so many details into a workable plan takes clear-sighted delegation and priority. You are on top of your game. Do not be stumped by those who want to control, dominate and be the person in power. Take legal steps if they crash boundaries of law and order, respectful coexistence or if their behaviour borders on harassment or hostility. Values instilled in us since birth are eroding in the light of the new century but you are able to retain what is important without measuring yourself against other people. Surprises are in store for you. There may be gifts but these delights are not limited to annual celebrations. You will also surprise yourself. Faith, hope, charity and optimism will sustain you while others may be sorting themselves out. Do not get stuck in sympathy for incorrigible individuals. If they are beyond help there is nothing you can do. There are so many more open and receptive people to choose from. Someone else may be better suited for those you cannot help. Recreating, rebirthing, realising the self, individuating and so much more is possible with this surge of courage. Things are getting fixed quickly. Pallas Athena moon walks back into Sagittarius. You can feel the slippery slope and counteract the loosening of navigational control with keener guidance which keeps you on track. Mercury on the other hand hip hops into Gemini. Pushed, rushed and pressurised you do not enjoy being outside your comfort zone. People, people, people is all I can say, there will be people coming and going through your life and you do enjoy your peace and quiet. Be sure to focus on your needs and keep those uppermost in your accommodation. Those with PDD, power deficit disorder, want to take over and may cruelly manipulate and control those who are within reach. Get out of reach. You are not in league with these people and do not need to tolerate them. A new structure is taking shape within you. It feels like a team of support people tweaking you from within your psyche. Electronics can turn into a nightmare when they fail to work, when you get hit with some glitch or if you need upgrading. Do not let it get you all wound up. Venus waltzes into Cancer deepening your passions and increasing stalwartness. Hesitation, dithering or dancing around the finite details of your more cherished objectives can make you very impatient for progress. Try to look past frustration to the qualification of strategy that this ponderance is attempting. Mars takes off at a gallop upon entering the sign Gemini. The fast pace is a bit scary because you like to aim for accuracy and productive time management. Other people will again make daily life a bit of a buzz. It is up to you to set the flow to your specification when you can. Old attitudes become obviously redundant. Disclosure by yourself or others clarifies and resolves. You are eager to shed your old skin in favour of a new polished self. Healing comes to the soul and the ancestral line. Your soul's growth has earned this achievement. Too much responsibility dampens the spirit, too little lays waste to potential; somewhere between there is a balance point of actualisation. You are a super-person realising your super powers and receiving acknowledgement from those who respect and admire you. A huge shift has changed your relationship to family and will let you start again. The problem now is one of growth or actually not growing too far too fast at the expense of healthy ego adaptability. Modesty and humility will serve you well when others give into hubris. Mercury's retrograde is bound to complicate matters with silly unrelated interventions of attention deficit. Like a fly in a spider's web, do not get tangled up, stay calm, stay still and slowly release with determined gentleness. A deep breath a few sighs and get on. Odd remembrances, information you never knew you knew; issues that surface from the deepest raw emotions of the psyche will create a feeling of being threatened. It is a mirage. Handle all relationships with kid gloves. Be a model of decorum and an example of what you believe to be true. People will test you, your reincarnational purpose, your evolutionary progress and try to undermine the bridges you are building to your destiny. Recognise the darkness within them and know you are not in league with them. 

 

Gemini Monthly Forecast

The Sun moves into Taurus the realm of your subconscious where it lights up your life with great vision. It will reveal the ways you have been recreating yourself into a stronger upgraded version. The mind is alive with the many details and projects therefore anxious to make progress which means you can get frustrated if it is not quick enough. Question your superiors, their use or misuse of power and their need for absolutism. There is success and gains but avoid getting entangled in other people's karma. The personal mannerisms that you adopted from your parents may be out of place or dysfunctional in current times. Wrinkles between parent and child are smoothed. There is change, lots of it, but most of it is self initiated. Beware of the brainwashing that others attempt. You will be in your element strongly expressing your individuality. Someone intimate finds it hard to accept the changes in but you must be consistently yourself rather than easily influenced. Taking charge or being responsible affords you the opportunity to demonstrate your abilities. Another way that someone will try to take control of you is by gaining your sympathy, empathy and compassion but it is too idealistic and misappropriated. You need to see this person's weaknesses and dysfunctions, their destructive patterns and how they are driven by a perception of woundedness. Retrograde Pallas Athena steps back into your shadow sign, the polar opposite Sagittarius. Through the vision it affords you will be able to go back over history to see how things have evolved to the way they are to date. This is insightful. Mercury bebop's into Gemini. It is your ruling planet so you enjoy its company. It can and does get you into trouble. Your busy curious mind strays too far into other people's boundaries. On other fronts you will uncover or reveal important information. Watch out for PDD, power deficit disorder. It takes over those who are driven by their own pain. They manipulate, control and dominate sometimes cruelly. You are meant to observe the condition as it exists in others or if it flares up in yourself. Cold indifference mows down anything in its way and drags it by its undercarriage. These types of people are not in league with their destiny. If you find yourself behaving this way neither are you. All in all these events and circumstances teach you to form better judgment, what to avoid, where to get unstuck and break free or breakthrough the minor issues as presented. You will make good money and increase your worthiness because you are innovative. Venus quietly strolls into Cancer which unleashes momentum that takes you to a new shift, a turning point. It can cause you to hesitate, dither and be indecisive or inconsistent as if you are afraid to move forward. You know it is an expansion you cannot put back in the box. Thinking too much, carrying a chip on your shoulder and being too concerned with other people's performance reveals your hidden agenda. Mars boldly converges with Gemini interjecting profuse energy and excitement into your being but it can also step up perplexity and paranoia. In some respects you need to come-clean, reveal yourself. In the disclosure you cannot hang onto inappropriate memory patterns and attitudes. Individuality is not your problem, self-sufficiency is a worthy goal but you need to sublimate certain desires, temptations or passions into greater competence to achieve healing. Integrity is of greater importance. Hard nitpicky work takes all your concentration, self-discipline and constructiveness to complete. You will be proud of yourself when the restructuring is done. You are a star but your perfectionism does not allow you to respect your achievement. Do not poke the bear! If you aggravate someone expect the reaction you deserve. Your creativity comes to the forefront, grasping the higher octave of reality and manifesting an opportunity. Harmful interactive patterns are negative expressions that pull and push you and others around. You see this in yourself which helps you to get beyond them. Mercury's retrograde is in Gemini. This does not always mean you will have a harder time than most. Sometimes it helps you to glide through it. It looks like it stirs up perplexities so it is up to you how you handle them. Misfit thoughts zoom through your conscious mind and creative daydreaming moments cause you to feel on a bit of a roller coaster. You are at a point of choice with yourself and the pressure could cause you to do something destructive in a fit of rectification. It will cost you a lot, reconsider. Make decisions that bring positive consequences.


Cancer Monthly Forecast
The Sun enters Taurus, the month of beauty that spring becomes. There is a suggestion that you need to attend to your health after the long winter's hibernation or other endurances. Your mind is like a computer, it is always working. It pulls together the pieces of your reality with little effort; even in your sleep. You will be more of an activist, reformist or anarchist than usual in that you will begin to question appearances and want to drive your own ship. Parental functionality comes into play in some respect. You can break free of a yoke that binds you to their ways or come to grips with their aging or deal with some other dysfunction. The interaction between parent and child will change. Children and grandchildren are a reckonable force. You know they have stages. The change of life upsets any quiet that may be your norm and calls you into action. Accepting fate with faith, hope and optimism frees you from entangling yourself in detritus. Feeling sorry either for yourself or for someone else creates tension and increases the burden of dependency. The health of your significant other or someone else of significance is of great concern. Destructive patterns need to be fixed. You feel like the reigns are pulled from your hands when Pallas Athena retrogrades back into Sagittarius. It is just a perception. Tune into a source of humour to reinstate yourself. Mercury will enter Gemini to raise your vibration and tend to your good humour. It stimulates and quickens your mind with successive realisations. They need not be interrelated. More detachment is needed to pluck you from obsessive-compulsive shape shifting psychological processes. Pain drives power to manipulate, control and dominate. It brings out the cruelty that is dormant in all human nature. Inflexibility and rigidity would be the creators of extreme circumstances or crisis. A universally liberated and innovative originality will bring about mutual agreement and helpfulness. You need to work with this mix in your own way. Venus can be a little selfish sometimes. You get this reminder because Venus now enters Cancer. Getting caught up in your own militant position creates war where there should be peace. Self-centredness dances on its own dot irrespective of the holographic picture. Criticism of others may best be redirected toward self-expansion. Preoccupied and defensive you carry quite a large chip on your shoulder accreted over ages of misappropriated subjectivity. Mars will chip away at the redundant and superfluous when it moves into Gemini. Your subconscious mind and its patterns will get an overhaul to increase performance. You become aware of inappropriate biological coding, an inherited genetic disorder or ancestral memory that flattens your resonance. Self-disclosure is important in the process of clarification, objectification and maintaining proportion. Self-healing opens you to expanded horizons and greater possibility. It will take surrendering to the appropriate cause. Developing greater personal responsibility means being accountable for every thought, every word and every act no matter how insignificant. It requires you to project less and be answerable more. Be the superstar that you are without diminishing anyone else's contribution. Egocentric convictions do not shine brightly; they should be contrite. Shifts in how you relate to particular people in your life will bring improvement. You need to tune into higher octave thinking. Harmful interactional patterns need to be remedied not perpetuated. Mercury's retrograde in Gemini tugs at your mind sets and emotionally driven behaviour to release conditions that allow understanding to be discovered. The mind is diverted and distracted but entertained as well by a wide range of unrelated thoughts. Your points of choice are voluntary. No one is forced to evolve or is punished if they do not consider consequences and not everyone is seeking resolution. Whatever commitments are on your path they come from the major life changing shifts you have experienced in recent years. 

 

Leo Monthly Forecast 
When the Sun enters Taurus you can get a bee in your bonnet over what you want to accomplish and woe betide if it involves anyone else who might not be ready for your enthusiasm. Strong powers of mind see value and worthiness in planning forward. So many questions come to mind you are beleaguered with doubts, questions, criticisms and preferences. Your creators or parents are very much present in the paradigm you represent. Their error is your error until you decide otherwise. Many changes converge on you at once; do not be rash or impulsive. Let things constructively happen. You are bullish, pushing your trip a bit when you need to rely on faith, hope and belief. You feel sorry for people who do not feel that they should be pitied. Judgements and comparisons are relative. You are impaled on your own weaknesses and dysfunctions, destructive patterns or old wounds instead of in the moment. Retrograde Pallas Athena steps back into Sagittarius, fuelling your fire with internal messaging that beats the drum of discontent very loudly. Then Mercury moves into Gemini, an upbeat but confusing or discombobulating energy that you are familiar with. Be it friends, family, people at work or authority figures you are used to the swirling vibrations. An obsessive-compulsive streak is infused into your psychology and can cause you to feel powerless. This is inappropriate and self wounding. Everybody matters, no one has to do it one person's way and you have to share power. Restlessness and the sense that you lack control makes you go a little intense but that will only shake you up and scatter your efforts, it will not get you unstuck from that square you are aiming for. It is possible to foresee changes in home and career. That does not mean you will get there today but it is coming. Venus enters your subconscious zone, in Cancer it provides positive reinforcement but also very strong emotional tides sometimes bordering on euphoria other times being too seriously possessed. While you want to be full speed ahead someone else is dancing on your dot. They do not disapprove but their fussing over things makes you pernickety or distressed. Leave them to it to reach equilibrium and come back later. They will not go far without you. Preoccupied with your own rightful strategy, self-interests and agenda of priorities you may be overly critical of other people; what they want, think or wish. If you have a chip on your shoulder there will be a volunteer come along to knock it off. Mercury moving into Gemini certainly turns things on rapidly scattering you far and wide with an abundance of nervous energy. Security is uppermost in your mind. It is linked with biological memory and ancestral patterns. It is instinctual. Resolved safety issues pluck old habits out of your strength of purpose. Disclosure helps you to find wisdom and resolve the imbalance of internal conflict. Sharing with equality finds the answers you need without blame. Soulful healing comes from all directions. You are in accord with your creative fires. Open and expand yourself and help others realise their possibilities too. Do not break the rule of personal responsibility, it is a spiritual sacrament. When you have knowledge breaking with this rule goes against the self. Regal overbearing arrogance, self-righteous absolutism and the opposite a complete meeting of minds on mental, emotional and spiritual levels are both possible depending on your state. Who do you think you are? If you think a lot about yourself there is a lack of tolerance. It will be your barometer. Anticipation of great change increases intensity and tension. Your problems come from within, perhaps as deep as the engrained soul level which allows inappropriate behaviour to leak out. When it is seen it can be remedied. Mercury will retrograde in Gemini, one of the busiest zones for a bothersome retroactive review. If there are things you have wanted to accomplish and have been unable to get to them, now will be your chance. In command of so many details and plans the minutiae will test your flexibility, confidence and respectfulness. This is a point of choice, a point of divergence where many connecting agents like bridges, annexes and tunnels that can be accessed to get you where you want to be. On the bridge to everywhere your intentions are navigating. Be conscious of this process. 

 

Virgo Monthly Forecast
Happy Sun in Taurus! You are tempted to spend money and may not be too clear about the purchases. If you do not like what you have purchased after the fact is not retail therapy. Your mind will take in the details but they will be blurred by wishful thinking and an idealistic focus. Question yourself first and foremost. It is easy to question other people but not so when inquiring into yourself. Most likely what you need to question the most will be so pronounced it will not be easy to miss; if you were not you. Parents fall off their perch. You experienced this even when you were a child but the larger shifts that you will homogenise now will introduce you to their humanity. You are not a genetically modified human. Personal change comes because it is time to break free, make breaking through happen and make constructive if not surprising innovation. Financial issues seem larger than life but keep the faith you will prevail. You cannot afford to feel sorry for people who cannot or more importantly will not help themselves. Compassion and empathy are worthwhile when support is fruitful. Overwhelmed and overburdened it seems like everything around you and people too will reveal their weakness or dysfunction. Your own patterns will be seen as well. Retrograde Pallas Athena shuffles back into Sagittarius giving you some heavy moments during which you will second guess financial decisions you have made recently. Then Mercury runs into Gemini kicking up quite the fuss, broadly and shallowly stirring up the mucky bottom and clouding clear vision. Once the cloud clears you will construct some useful ideas out of the kafuffle. Primal drives, psychological compulsions and instinctual survival techniques take over to guide you toward the state of detachment that is in league with your destiny. Unrestricted free spiritedness needs to be given freer reign and greater flexibility. You will discover that your creativity becomes more concentrated and focused. Venus entering Cancer has something to do with the spring cleaning of your closets; the joy of refilling an empty closet too. You are holding back with someone, not sure of where they stand with you, you are negotiating your strategy and unsure if you approve. Give a pass to any interaction or engagement that is not clean and upfront. Someone has several chips on their shoulder you do not want to knock off. Mars in Gemini is vivifying and stimulating. You will get a lot of work accomplished and achieve many goals. The haunted ghosts of your ancestral past take their leave of you which will improve your resonance. What you tell others will have greater importance if you hear it yourself. You are very special. When other people support this sense of self you are healed and inspired, uplifted and awakened to your expanded possibilities. Objectify your responsibilities to make them less personal and odious. Give yourself some relaxation too. You can do both sufficiently. If provoked by galling outrageous circumstances you will find it difficult to maintain decorum but you will master the hellfire energies this brings. Shifts have brought an end to circumstances. In the surreal landscape of your next stage there is a sense of the future that will alchemise. You just have to let it gel. All your problems are within your control despite the harmful interactions and toxic dysfunctional behaviour of others. Mercury retrogrades in Gemini and may cause havoc with your machinery, computers, communication equipment or car. Electronic, electric or other petty problems plague such devices. Too many thoughts disturb your peace of mind and interfere with your ability to apply yourself to your work. Many tributaries are connected to the point of choice you now face. Intention creates your bridge to the right one. Do not be held back by the darkness of others. It is not in your consciousness. 

 

Libra Monthly Forecast 
Here we are with the Sun passing into Taurus already. Time is speeding by quickly and you have to stay in the flow to keep up or you will never get caught up. The mind works in mysterious ways. You need to internalise the details because if you do not someone else's superficial glance will breakdown and reveal the shallowness of your understanding. Question everything and everyone for their integrity, value, worthiness, authenticity and substance. Others will be questioning you. The role that parents play in your life is substantial. Your life experience with them has shaped and formed your being even if you tried to walk an uncommon path. Destiny lets you know where you are a GMO or a clone. Self-criticism is the motivating factor in creatively changing life to be an example of what you believe in. Find your hope, your faith and your belief. You are caught in a valley and cannot see beyond the tall mountains walling you in. Your elevating and levitating mechanisms need to be activated. Feeling sorry for yourself or anyone else is a focused dysfunction you cannot afford. Your weakness for distraction and procrastination is revealed and you realise you cannot achieve your life quest this way. Pallas Athena retrograding back into Sagittarius will reconnect you to what is important and help you to discard what is not. When Mercury enters Gemini you initially go running for cover because it seems the noise and vibration levels just increased too far too fast. Put your busy mind to work on creating your intentions. Create a vision quest mosaic. You are manifesting ~ make the most of it. Extreme circumstances are an opportunity. Be flexible and unrestricted in the clenches. Watch out for others with PDD; power deficit disorder. They like to share their pain. Now is the time to form better judgment, assume authority and control over your destiny and to experience a different side to "free" spiritedness. Unhealthy electronic devices can be replaced but you only have one body to keep you for the rest of your days. Think about that. Venus in Cancer wants you to take care of yourself. Set down a five year plan, you will magnetically draw what you need and want. If you hesitate you will be lost. If you inflate things you will distress them. How are you dancing on your own dot? Preoccupied with your own intentions you are missing the importance of connecting with other people's wants and wishes. Energy pays forward. In Gemini Mars will create an abundance of energy to fuel your inventions but this sign does nothing to groom, direct and manage the nervous oomph you have to provide that. Ancestral patterns and biological memory traces are plucked from your being because they are interfering with your strength of purpose. Disclosing yourself where it will do the most remedial good corrects imbalances and resolves conflicts without blame. The deepest and purest of the healing energies is directed to your innermost self, your core essence. The Phoenix rises from such alchemical flames. Constructive personal responsibility is the most freeing act you can take. Face the end of things and round the corner to complete things. Two mythological giants will commune in planetary space. Rarely do two superhuman egos homogenise but they do make sparks fly. You will not tolerate disparage easily. There is a high degree of arrogance generally. The many changes that have rushed through your life in later years makes the discords stand out more evidently. You can now smooth them over. At the same time you come face to face with your negative side which is puzzling and clarifying. Mercury's retrograde in Gemini a fellow air sign can be spinney and weirdly emotional. It is quirky and likes to stir up whatever is out of sight. Petty problems, forgotten details, missed points; this is not a productive trend. Your mind is absent. It is possible you are preoccupied with a point of choice and mentally you are trying to build a bridge that will get you from here to there.

 

Scorpio Monthly Forecast
The Sun slips into your shadow sign, Taurus the polar opposite to you in the zodiac. This side of your life has all the energy, the side of yourself that you know the least, the portions of your life you are out of touch with. Work will ground you and help you to be creative in all you do. Your mind works well with the details, pulling the historic relevance into the current fact. Personal power is not your issue, but your personal power may be someone else's complaint. Not that you have to worry about that. They have the inferiority. Parental issues are very concerning. You may have to look after one of your parents. Yet you need to live your separate lives. Your parent's keepsakes are of importance. The life changes born of the great intensity of the past few years continue to kick off. They are examples of what you have been moving toward. They are the shifts that are meant to be. Faith, hope, optimism and love are the cornerstone of your stability in the face of whatever challenges. Feeling sorry for people will rob them of their self-worth and integrity, it is better to help them maintain their dignity by encouraging self-reliance. At work the weaknesses and dysfunctions of internal systems will have to be remedied. As Pallas Athena retrogrades it goes back into Sagittarius, compressing the distance between it and your sign. You feel squeezed by the many plans and strategies that have to be organised. Then Mercury leaps into Gemini and creates havoc because it stimulates and stirs. Just what you feel you do not need right now. On the other hand it will help in its own way. The pureness of your primal instinct to have dominion over life steps up to the plate and makes short work of a long list. There is always an opportunity to become more flexible, to entertain alternatives and to be in a position where you have to invent your options. But it is a rare happenstance that other people are a fully supportive conveyance of personal assistance. Loyal people step forward. Venus enters Cancer, another water sign, enriching your sense of worthiness and ability. Your partner in life needs a lot of support at this time. You are able to give it. There is nothing to vacillate about. In other areas your hesitation is misplaced. Going over and over things creates disproportion. There is something you need to decide but you are at war with yourself and probably should not be. Get on your roller skates to keep up with the action as Mars fox trots into Gemini. Alive and bursting with ideas internally and busily engaged in the marketplace of life; you are on a run. Secure empowerment is what you are developing in your new attitudes and upgraded viewpoint. Disclosure by a family member gives you the information you need to work with. Spiritual healing comes through a catalyst, an event or a person that helps you more than words can say and quite possibly without knowing. Being the responsible one, stepping up to a crisis rather than backing away is your strength. You seem to be on call for a few friends, then there will be someone at work and finally your own personal life beckons loudly. A union of very dynamic proportion becomes very strongly represented in the present and future. You bond with strength. The many shifts that have occurred are starting to take shape, get organised and create a new order. The only problems that appear to be lurking in the shadows are the ones you create yourself; if you do. Mercury retrograde puts you in the driver's seat to arrange and rearrange, restore, replenish and fix what is necessary. There will be many thoughts, lots of details as well as some personal distractions so keeping it together is not smooth but it is okay. You have to make the choices. Do not defer these on any other terms or standards. The decisions are landing on your desk. Resolutions are made to create positive consequences. 

 

Sagittarius Monthly Forecast 
Welcome to Taurus and the spring flowering that it will bring. What a wonderful time of year. You feel in command, in control and on top of your responsibilities. It is old hat. You have a system which allows you to have more time to think through the details and helps you to bear the delays. The past is out of your control but the future looks very bright and promising ahead. You power through with great self-propulsion. It is possible you may feel you are dysfunctioning as a parent, or that your child needs more self-expression, possibly you must step away from the conditioning of a parent or one of your parents is in need and you will be dealing with a deeper psychology of need. Change happens, it cannot always be planned, scripted or part of the agenda and a lot of times, like now, it is in the control of others. You are gifted with great humour, philosophy and buoyancy; let it flow through you and let it be around you during difficulties. Feeling sorry for someone or the world in general will not help anyone. This strong psychic sensitivity gives you great empathy and compassion but you must not be too idealistic. Open and absorbent you can soak up the pains of those around you and around the globe. Pallas Athena marches back into Sagittarius moving retrograde. It takes you by storm again and chinches up your kingpin. You do not need an army when you have Pallas on your side. Mercury crosses over into your shadow sign, the polar opposite Gemini. This gives you objectivity about someone else's subjectivity. There may be a lot of gossip if you like that sort of thing but think of the energy waves it causes. As a Sagittarian, you have a particularly potent window of opportunity to advance your soul growth. Evolution is fostered by clearheaded detachment. PDD, power deficit disorder, is a symptom of a degenerative condition. It is easy to spot. Keep away from the infected. At this juncture it is very important that you develop your flexibility, accept and let go so you can form better judgement. Liberated mutual agreement is possible but only probable if you are the passive activist. Venus floats into Cancer on her bubble of Gemini air stirring up very strong emotional tides from the depths of this water sign. You will hear many tales of hardship. It is hard to endure anyone who is hesitating and cannot commit. Be careful of carrying a chip on your shoulder or knocking one off someone else. Mars gets busy as it enters Gemini. This is your shadow sign and polar opposite. It will tap you straight into the energy outlet. This is likely to generate some money, gifts or other reward. Your individuality grows out of the chrysalis that was fabricated by your genetic line. You choose to be singularly empowered; plucked from the resonance of ancestral patterns. Do tell. Reveal yourself rather than fester in silence. Fix the problem do not make another one. Reject family conditioning that does not work for you. Take responsibility for improving the genetic line. Any shifts you make will help everyone. Families can build their heritage into such a mythological magnitude that you feel you cannot break with tradition. Be sure your conventions, convictions and conditional or contractual agreements are in your best interests and serving your values. Plenty of little shifts and changes will come like ripples on a lake. No powers beyond your control will create the stumbling blocks or problems that create your struggles. Your own negativity gives you the issue. Mercury's retrograde in Gemini is good for reflection. Cause and effect, or the consequences of your actions are evaluated. It disturbs your peace of mind to see the faults in yourself that you think others can see. These realisations are for your subconscious, no one else's benefit. Your point of choice is very karmic. That means it has repercussions on your future experience and prescribes your place of resonance on the other side. 

 

Capricorn Monthly Forecast
Welcome to the merry month of May. It is time to come out of your slumberous lethargy and get in step with the dance of spring. Take extra care of your health this spring to avoid catching a nuisance bug. Increased mind power makes short work of any monumental task. You will sort through, file or reduce your work load profoundly. Someone from your past wants to ride shotgun through your life. They want you to give up your power spot. One of your parents, most likely your Mum, needs you to be responsible for her affairs. There have been many changes, perhaps in law or taxation, and she or they are unsure what to do. If a health paradox presents itself, keep the faith and believe in the positive. Feeling sorry for family is the best way to cripple them with dependent dysfunction. You want to build them up and help them maintain their dignity and be self-reliant. Fix what you can but do not take on anything that is too far gone and broken to the point of destruction. Pallas Athena in retrograde backs out of Capricorn into Sagittarius which gives you some behind the scenes strategies you can count on. Mercury skips into Gemini rattling your sense of order and organisation with interventions. Mind you it provides many a pleasant interlude too. With one of the most powerful planets in your sign, you are being asked to illuminate power issues. PDD or power deficit disorder can strike anyone at any time when they feel disempowered or overpowered. You need to be more flexible than stubborn, less judgemental and more tolerant. Broaden your scope, universalise your beliefs, modernise your viewpoints and keep relevant. Venus in Cancer, your shadow sign and polar opposite, adds dimension and warmth to your relationships, especially with family. Who is dancing on your dot? Internalised emotions become potently intense undermining your vitality and well being. Is there an unresolved conflict, battle or war? Is this a tournament of games? If it is you are probably disappointed in your home team but the competition is fierce. Mars entering Gemini creates a buzz and an attraction to events that would be buzzing. Get your motor vehicle tuned or serviced, especially if it has a few years on it. Negative family patterns that can be traced back in the family lineage are actively cleansed from the living. Curse is gone! The disclosure of information unknown to some family members helps to amputate or delete the pathogen. Revelations have the magic to refresh and rejuvenate close bonds. You feel renewed. Naturally there is no problem for you to take responsibility where necessary you are responsible under normal circumstances. Your dedication to enduring, persisting or taking to task any project will accomplish a great deal. There are costs involved. When "the" two mythological giants representing "marriage" commune in the sky there can be thunderbolts and scandalous scenes in some people's lives. It is hard to avoid feeling larger than life itself. Avoid unintentionally imposing an inflated self on others. You have made some huge shifts lately but you have to be careful how you handle people that get caught in your wake. Powers very much in your control and wholly attributable to you personally are the source of difficulty in your interactional experiences. Mercury's retrograde breaks up your thought stream enough to allow your perspective to include broader considerations. New thoughts are exciting, motivating and can cause you to be somewhat compulsive or adventurous. Your point of choice is centred on attitude, tolerance and egalitarianism.

 

Aquarius Monthly Forecast 
The Sun in Taurus is at an acute angle to Aquarius which is provocative and motivating. You get off to a good start with your explorations of nature. Mind power is strong; you work out all the kinks, wrinkles and details in contracts, agreements, negotiations, partnerships or involvements of any kind. The ouch-factor is strong at the beginning of the month. Power players connive and conspire but self-propulsion helps you to drive your own ship around such obstacles to the preferred destination. Parental issues cannot be ignored. You need to grow around them. They were your first friends. There is a lot of energy available for you to put to good productive use. Implement the changes and breakthroughs you have accomplished. Put your faith and trust in yourself and those you can count on. Do not feel sorry for someone because they did not have what you did. You do not know what riches their experience has given them. Investment arrangements may not be providing the returns you had hoped for and may need reassignment. Investment in real estate will go well and provide what is needed. Pallas Athena retrogrades back into Sagittarius backing off from its intense scrutiny of your powers of strategically planning your endeavours. It will open up into avenues of new involvement. Mercury's occupation of Gemini, another air sign favours your point of view and position of authority. Do not get too pumped up and powered up. PDD is in the air, power deficit disorder; it is a weakness that craves domination due to personal pain. Try not to drag people along on your jet stream. If you want things to go your way, let go, do not hold onto the reins so stubbornly that you miss the connection. A liberated non-possessive concentration or hands off approach reaches mutual agreement. Venus entering into Cancer stimulates your senses, creativity and sociableness. You are spring loaded and want to charge ahead but someone else or something else stands on your tail feathers and will not give you lift off. Do not be distressed, just let it be. You want to do your own thing so badly anyone or anything that attempts to distract you will be annoying. Mars enters Gemini, your fellow air sign, adding more velocity to your movements. You will progressively range farther and wider. Old psychology that is lodged in the blood, patterns passed down through family, governors that you were not aware were so controlling will get plucked from your consciousness. You disclose yourself to people who care for you and find liberation. A sense of purified wholeness improves vitality and encourages you to take better care of yourself. Personal responsibility becomes more real and tangible than ever before. Right behaviour for right reasons infuses itself in your essence. The great mythological giants, Zeus and Juno, the royal couple conjoin with each other in your shadow sign. This offers you the opportunity to gain great objectivity about your conventions of relationship; to see the cracks in your model of equal partnership and discover how you would like to make your definition of relationship more wholesome. The many sifts that have rocked the world have taken their toll on your finances however a new start offers you a good opportunity for restoration. Your health is the only problem that can get in your way and that is up to you to remedy proactively. Mercury's retrograde in Gemini offers you a time to review all the events that have occurred over the past few years. To see how far you have come and how much has been accomplished. Your mind is swirling with jumbled recollections of sights, sounds, colours and smells. You have reached your point of choice; the milestone that demarks the end and the beginning. You are creating a new foundation to build your achievements upon. 

 

Pisces Monthly Forecast
The Sun enters Taurus this month to brighten up your spring with colour, vitality and a wealth of nature. Your empowered mind will journey far and wide, cover vast territories of imagination and track down the smallest of details. Never mind the power monger, the gossiper, the conniver or conspirator; keep driving your own ship toward gain and success. Sleeper parental issues become known, whether it is something you did not know about your parents or something you are keeping hidden from them; it all comes out so it can be cleaned up. So many shifts and changes have rocked your world you like to insulate yourself against the fluctuation. Keep your faith in tact, believe in yourself and the intentions you have always had. People get sick for a reason, sometimes they need the journey, do not feel sorry for someone who is on a journey you do not understand. Your reactions to things will discover the best fix for your situation. Pallas Athena retrogrades back into Sagittarius easing off the seriousness of life and allowing more fun. Mercury high steps into Gemini making music wherever it goes. Imagination works well and you find what you are looking for. Life looms large in a good way. You are swept along on your own tide. Delimit yourself wherever and whenever it is relevant. Loosen up, flex and be versatile. You get the most out of this time. Liberating yourself from possessive activities choosing instead conditions of mutual agreement you can see a future coming into clearer vision. Venus in Cancer softens the hard edges, makes everything more digestible you focus on improving your health. If you get stuck on a point you will dance on your own dot of hesitation. It is like plastic wrap on a doorway, you peel it back to get through but get stuck. You can see what and where you want to be, some little point holds you back. Get over it, under it or around it. Too preoccupied with your own thoughts you need someone to give you some alternatives. Mars strolls into Gemini where it picks up velocity and rhythm. It is a jazzy tune. When things start to dither you get distressed but once you get used to the beat you enjoy the stimulus. Biological markers are dissolved, ancestral patterns are plucked from your consciousness you are free of the inheritance. Share your deepest fears and emotions with someone you can trust, a spiritual leader or healer. You will be purified, healed and uplifted when you open yourself to expand your horizons. Personal responsibility is an art form. It takes everything in you to be responsible for every thought, word and action to be in line with your beliefs but it is a worthy practice that brings rewards. If someone displays too much hubris, ego, self-righteous conviction do not take it on, it is larger than life and will not listen to reason. The many shifts and changes you have experienced over the past several years have left you wondering about the security of your future. The problems you face now are within your control. You may be making them worse than they are. You need to make peace with yourself and allow your destiny to unfold as it will. You are in safe hands. Mercury's retrograde should help you to discover your strengths, self-sufficiencies and survival skills. A hodgepodge of thoughts will crowd your mind and disburse your thoughts. It is a creative flow that means no harm. You are gently cradled in a point of choice that is in your best interests. You just have to be true to yourself.

 

Aries Monthly Forecast 
The Sun leaves Aries for the steadying creative force of Taurus. You enjoy the flowers that come of the showers. Aries is still electrified by the ever present planet Uranus and anything that comes near it is sparked as well. The pace is brisk and unpredictable. There is a lot of work ahead of you. Dealing with the details and pulling the pieces together is a full time job. Assembling the possible out of recent shifts takes all of your faculties. Question everything, especially if there are any suspicions or reasons to doubt a person's use of personal power and position. Abuse is possible. When it comes to the affairs of your parents, you need to be armed with firsthand information and leave nothing to chance. Subconsciously you know what you need to do, what has been staged over the last year or so; you are just coming to grips with how to manifest what you are incubating. The system, which could be government or corporate, may appear to let you down. You cannot count on it the way it has been thought in the past. Keep the faith; it will work itself out with your devoted effort. Too much sympathy makes you sorry for someone to the point that it affects your realism. Do not knit this into your reality, it is an inferior relationship to make or position to take. The weaknesses in your plan are being revealed so you can fix them. Retrograde Pallas Athena steps back into disproportionate Sagittarius to help you find the truth which sets you free from that which restricts you. Mercury is out of Taurus in a flash, now high-stepping in Gemini your mind feels a bit like it is on a roller coaster. The highs and lows of a quickened mind can make you feel unwell with dizziness or digestive complaint. The pressure of the intense planetary configuration is over but it has left you in a tizzy. Once you sort it out you will be well on your way toward what was intended. Circumstances surrounding home and family are in a state of flux leaving you betwixt and between. It makes you reactive to certain triggers. Get away from outside stimulus, quietly retreat or find a passive zone in which you can concentrate on innovative and intuitive ideas. Computer problems could have something to do with hard drive or memory. When Venus enters Cancer you get together with people you have worked with. The people you have a significant relationship with require that you do some work for them. You are stuck in a mindset that has a perceived value attached to it. It is difficult to get beyond this until you see the error in your ways. You are preoccupied with yourself and your circumstances. So much so that being distracted or otherwise focused can cause accidental mishap. When Mars enters Gemini it can drive you to attend to so much your nervous system suffers. You have to let go of that which you are stuck on. It is an illusion of security. Disclosure brings objectivity. Self-sufficiency tries to take on too much and becomes overwhelmed. Trying to do everything can lead to nervous exhaustion. Feeling like a superhuman you may tax your physical reserves to the point where you are running on adrenalin. Restlessness does not help you to relax or perhaps sleep. The mind wants to work on everything to its satisfaction. If you do not have a satisfactory outlet for your personal power, or if you feel you are not in control then you will subconsciously brood over negative implosions. Get a jig saw puzzle and obsess over putting the pieces together. Little faults and problems add up to a state of mind that undermines confident assurance. You are at a junction, a crossroads, an intersection of many different gateways. It is up to your viewpoint, state of human nature and your attitude toward cooperation and interdependence as to which opening will be just right for you. 

 


 
Be Blessed
