Astrology

The tremendous power of the Sun is ever present in your life and creates a daily process of shifting energies and reactions. The season has changed and life is teeming over the earth. The northern hemisphere is brimming with newness and for the southern regions of the world there is a busy preparing for the months ahead. Equally there is a tremendous shift with excitement and movement among all animals and life forms. Where I live the young birds and many animals bring the joy of youth and exuberance to us all. Every aspect on the planet is vibrant.

All this magnificence began to be reinforced by the angle of the moon as it entered its first quarter cycle last Monday and is doubly reinforced now by major solar angles throughout the week. The recent new moon of last Monday occurred at 15 degrees Taurus, aligning with the midway point between the solstices, plus, the next full moon will be in Scorpio for the second time. These special alignments will not occur again for 19 years! This boosts the already intense vibration of the season.

You, too, are motivated to move and take action to build and rebuild your life for the future. Planning and preparing, as well as creating a better personal world are all potentials. The time is ripe for growth and abundance.

So, bringing it all down to earth, what does it mean to you? How can you embrace the fullness of life that this week offers? Each day manifests open opportunities to step into a renewed world.

Monday – May 12, 2008

Moon in Leo / Virgo

Today the Sun is your greatest motivator with its very positive blessings of excitement and abundance. You have the fortification of its full power.

When the Sun is sextile Uranus at 12:33 A.M. you are motivated to see and sense the magnificence of life and all it has to offer. A key factor is to be able to see beyond past limitations and evaluate their validity or need in your life now. You are shown new choices and paths so embrace your own ability to find new solutions and birth new ways of living.

It’s all about perspective when the Moon opposes Neptune at 4:10 A.M. and generates a need to take a second look at what you are doing. You may have doubts, you may have false information given to you, or you may simply feel suddenly pessimistic. None of this has to interfere with the grand light the Sun offers at this time. Simply resign yourself to being observant and letting it pass without making a major decision. The overriding fortitude of the other angles will diminish this glitch into a minor event. The only way it could go awry is if you were to get lost in an egotistic idea of having leverage over another. Should you do that you will simply seem a bit foolish and it will be insignificant in the long run. As well, you could encounter big talkers and those with wild ideas today but they will be evident since they will probably not be impressive in any real sense.

Positive energy expands when the Sun and Jupiter trine at 1:30 P.M. You feel the inspiration building and you can even become exuberant with joy. Great ideas can be birthed now as well as those that bring prosperity.

Today is great for financial gain and the initiation of that which you wish to unfold with profits.

This is an excellent time for administering healing of all kinds. Project and receive the healing rays for your spirit and soul.

The Moon moves from Leo into Virgo at 2:49 P.M. Now you are ready for dealing with details and Virgo helps you for the next couple of days to take care of business in all aspects. The small things are taken care of and you see what is needed. Organize and put a time frame in place for completion on your tasks.

This lunar placement then trines Pluto at 4:12 P.M. giving you a bigger picture of what is needed in all elements of work and responsibility. You have what it takes to empower yourself. Tackle any job at hand while Pluto is here to give you the strength to complete it.

The Moon and Saturn conjunct in Virgo at 6:05 P.M. Moods shift, especially at work. It is better to have little to do now so that you are able to avoid negativity and despondency. Do not let anything overwhelm you. Saturn causes stumbling blocks get in the way of basic tasks so take it with a grain of salt if nothing seems to go right just now.

Tuesday – May 13, 2008

Moon in Virgo

You are left to manage by your own wits throughout the day until 7:22 P.M. when the Moon and Mercury square. This ninety degree angle is the correct name since it can cause you and another to square off in disagreement. Take a break or keep involvements simple to diminish the possibility of such negativity.

You are saved by the blessing of the trine between the Moon and Venus at 10:04 P.M. Any difficult situations or unpleasant circumstances are mellowed and smoothed out with a little effort to find mutuality and peace.

It is a good time to seek harmony and move forward with plans. You may not feel overly creative, but you are able to take care of duties and small things in numbers with greater ease and can even enjoy it.

Wednesday – May 14, 2008

Moon in Virgo / Libra

As the Moon opposes Uranus at 8:09 A.M. it irritates and fragments cohesiveness. People begin to feel disassociated and off center, displaying impatience over the least things. Moods are unpredictable so do not over react to distress, your own or in response to another’s.

It is short lived with the immediate trine to Jupiter at 8:58 A.M. coming into play so bide your time and use this energy now to make headway and move forward. Expansion is the key so make sure you elect to expand the positive and not escalate the previous nervous or irritable energy.

Jupiter so placed will help to mellow most situations.

A real power point in the day is the time when the Sun angles both Neptune and the Moon. The first angle is a square to Neptune occurring at 11:51 A.M. that can cause separation and loss, so do not put anything you value on the line. Avoid financial investments or transactions as well as making important commitments. There is likely to be a misrepresentation of circumstances, facts, and important or reliable substance is missing.

You have an easement from the energy generated as the Sun and Moon trine at 12:39 P.M., but it is so brief that you would do better to let it pass by unless you are well prepared to take action before then and after the previous square to Neptune. It is like a weaving process, so think carefully. Be precise.

As well, this more so applies due to the void of course moon that lasts for almost 12 hours from 12:36 P.M. until 11:48 P.M. Consider this time of the day for contemplating your inner feelings and desires and leave big actions to a previous or future time.

Finally when the Moon enters Libra at 11:48 P.M. the connections you make while it is in this sign are positive and have a greater chance of being in harmony. Give thought and consideration to the give and take of associations for the next couple of days and you should fair well under this moon’s placement

Thursday – May 15, 2008

Moon in Libra

It is always so that when the Moon and Pluto square as it does at 1:09 A.M. there is likely to be an intense suspicion or a somewhat confrontational energy coming from someone. There is tenacity with this Libra placement of the Moon so be sure to see the views of another and give wide latitude to an antagonistic person. Let them remain in their own space and maintain your own, also.

You are helped by the sextile between the Moon and Mars at 5:38 A.M. that will set a nice pace for the rest of the day.

This eases any tense circumstances and softens attitudes and opinions. Interaction is easy going.

A little excitement enters the picture or at least more enthusiasm for events. Where you need to impetus to get going you are aided. If you need to motivate others you find the right way to do it.

Physical tasks are more easily accomplished and done successfully.

Friday – May 16, 2008

Moon in Libra

Overall, today is grand for ideas and creativity. Seek to promote what you wish to grow, and invest time with your inspirational self.

As the Moon and Mercury trine at 10:14 A.M. you begin to think more with determination. Seeing numerous perspectives benefits you so put on your thinking cap and distinguish how many ways you can analyze and see the various angles of something.

What you need to solve or resolve is easier now. Other people’s views are valuable.

The square to Jupiter from the Moon at 7:37 P.M. causes many to find they are not going anywhere but in circles. It convolutes and distorts an otherwise nice arrangement or business deal.

Double check the costs of everything related where you must spend money.

The time leading up to the trine between the Moon and Neptune at 11:30 P.M. is ideal for meditation and visualization. This is a magical time of discovering your potentials and how to manifest them. Seek to know from using the intuitive self and you will discover much. Breakthroughs are likely with a little application.

You are drawn to external sources for inspiration such as media, music, art or nature.

Saturday – May 17, 2008

Moon in Libra / Scorpio

The Moon enters Scorpio at 11:00 A.M. and brings a polarity to the Taurus vibration that is so prominent this week. This cycle of the Moon lasting until Monday when it peaks to full is showing you your own inner potential of empowerment. This potential is waiting to be manifest and now is the cycle to explore and discover just what that is for you and how to make it an overt part of your life.

The Scorpio moon itself helps you to delve deeply into your psyche and see what makes you tick.

As it sextiles Pluto you are even more insightful and in tune with your inner self. The sextile peaks at 12:18 P.M. so take this time to sense and perceive for motivations that come from deep within. The subconscious is easily explored. Hypnosis is beneficial as is deep meditation and visualization on a specific topic.

All this may be practically applied when the Moon sextiles Saturn at 2:45 P.M. You are able to seriously ponder and find ways to apply what you learn and discover. Having a plan is the element to make it all work.

The square of the Moon and Mars at 7:50 P.M. can either cause you to disrupt your own progress or be more determined to get things done. It is easy to become irritated and negative under such an angle, but it is also one that is the grist or motivator to move on. Where and how you take action is your own choice so think about constructive action over destructive behavior.

Sunday – May 18, 2008

Moon in Scorpio

This is a sweet day with nice manifestations generated by Venus.

Today is great for planting, transplanting and pruning. Gardens are jolted to greater growth by tending them! Give them attention and you will soon be rewarded. This is a fruitful day overall.

Venus sextiles Uranus at 7:23 A.M. so using the time to do something creatively new will be rewarding. It is a time to initiate a creative project.

As well, it is a time to nurture friends and family associations including personal relationships. Gifts given are appreciated.

Venus also trines Jupiter today at 11:18 A.M. further accentuating the positive! This advances and promotes romance so the day is great for marriage proposals and all personal commitments. Weddings today are cemented in a positive and become long term.

Where you elect to beautify, as within your home, your own self, or a garden, has an extra touch and seems to have that special flare.

Remember, too, that this is the prelude to the full moon of tomorrow so move forward with the tide now for what you want to build and grow.

Key words: Vision; clarity; abundance; growth; manifestation

Mantra: My thoughts are seeds of my future reality.

Visualization: As I recline upon a gentle knoll covered with flowers I ponder the joys of life that are beginning with my thoughts and ideas of abundance and fullness.

Stones & colors: Emerald; all green stones and shades; citrine; colored diamonds

Oils & incenses: Citrus; orange; lemon; marigold; camphor; sage; honeysuckle; passionflower

The time is bright with more than just the light of the Sun, but also with opportunity to fortify your spirit and initiate some of the most profound plans for the year. This is a time when what you do grows deep roots. Dig in and plant fully that which you want to grow into something grand. A sweet friend and student recently gave me a giant pumpkin plant that is small now, but I expect it to be just as great as the source of its seeds, which is huge. Placing it in the ground at this time will reinforce its strength so I expect to have a great harvest next fall. It might be only one pumpkin, but should be big enough to make a lot of pies! And, it is symbolic of things to come and the blessings to manifest with just a little effort in the present.

The coming full moon occurring next Monday will be the second in the sign of Scorpio – the polarity of Taurus. This is already generating a positive and strong desire to manifest and grow and bring about a strong and positive life circumstance.

Be sure to read next week about the special full moon and Pleiades energy. But, don’t wait until next week to begin your visualizations and manifestations! The alchemy of the universe is just right for such births.

Yours in Truth,

Sandra
