Month: May 2007

This week begins with an exact opposition between Mercury and Pluto. This reminds us to take stock of our current position and attitude toward our daily life. We can make some changes that will point us in a more constructive and fulfilling direction. This is a time to be mindful of our environment and to see the nature of things that surround us. It is a chance to get in harmony with nature.

The Moon will trine Neptune and this adds a dreamy quality to the week. It is as if we are not quite conscious of our own lives. Most of our lives are lived in the unconscious and it is our job to become more conscious. This requires an effort on our part and can be deeply rewarding if we are willing. Jupiter square Uranus gives us an insight into the traditional and the eccentric. Basically we can spend our whole lives being at odds with these two concepts, the conventional versus the unconventional.

The heavy concentration of planets in fire and air signs contributes to a working relationship with ourselves as well as others. The combination of inspiration and communication create a flow of energy that is very productive. Air signs are intellectual signs and fire signs indicate a power drive. Fire needs air. A power drive needs intelligence.

Spend some time thinking about your raison d’être.

After spending considerable time on the road less traveled we are finally headed down the road less bumpy. It seems like the planetary configurations are quite harmonious in the coming week. Except for Mercury, the planet of thinking which is getting a square from Uranus and an opposition from Jupiter, it is smooth sailing. Things are far better than even you can imagine.

The Moon in Cancer makes for a clingy type of behavior but it gets a nice trine from Uranus which coaxes you into letting go of worn out ideas and outmoded feelings of security. Straighten yourself up and sense that you are now gaining control over your own actions. This is where the real power lies. Mercury is sextile to Saturn and this allows your powers of concentration to keep you focused.

Staying focused is important because it is easy to lose our will when faced with difficult circumstances. The Sun is trine Pluto so we can get down to the nitty gritty of things. Jupiter trine Saturn continues to take us from the general to the particular and from the particular to the general. It is this kind of synthesis that results in good judgment.

Venus trine Uranus adds some real fun in the week ahead. Don’t forget to enjoy each day. The happy day makes the happy week, the happy week the happy month, the happy month the happy life. Every journey starts with just one step.

If you feel like you are getting hit from all sides, this is no overstatement. That is exactly what is happening. But, thanks to your lightning reflexes things have not gotten completely out of hand. Congratulate yourself for being able to keep your composure under very trying circumstances. This week starts with the Moon in Aries, so watch out that you don’t blurt out something without also showing a little diplomacy. You can say anything as long as you put a soft edge on it.

Saturn and Jupiter continue to be in trine, therefore, you will feel the contracting and expanding for a while longer. This motion will help you produce some positive results as long as you don’t try to control everything.

There is an inconjunct aspect between Saturn and Uranus now and this translates into the situation of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Be prepared to do some reconciling until this aspect passes. Actually, the inconjunct aspect is an aspect of neglect. Try not to neglect those who are important to you.

Overall you should be enjoying a general increase in your energy. Give it all you’ve got, victory is just around the corner.

The Sun is approaching a conjunction with Mercury in Taurus so good ideas spring to mind. Taurus is a fixed sign so it doesn’t exhibit a lot of flexibility. Try to incorporate various ideas and don’t be too set on the outcome. Cooperate with the laws of nature and you will find that things fall into place without exaggerated effort.

Saturn is trine to Jupiter which is retrograde. You may be analyzing your prospects for a new business venture. Jupiter brings together opportunities from the past and combines them with your present state of mind. Discipline will be needed to bring about your potential. Don’t lull yourself into thinking you don’t have to actively pursue your goals. They won’t happen by themselves.

Pluto and Mars will soon form an exact square. This is a good time to take a stand on issues that you feel strongly about. Otherwise, you may be swept up in the tide and end up doing a lot of things that you don’t really care to do. Start to recognize the weak spots in your plan so that you can shore them up before moving to the next step.

Radical beliefs prevail in the world of politics. Attach your mind to things that will have lasting value for you. Don’t play a double game. Choose what you want and be willing to pay for it. For every advantage is a disadvantage.
