MAY 2009 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday TAURUS and GEMINI Natives!!
:-) Welcome to MAY! You're full of life this month, but what exactly are you achieving from all this activity? There's a chance you'll be getting little in return for all your gallant efforts. This can be frustrating but a bright idea at the end of the month will help you find a solution to this. You're likely to feel all hot and bothered this May , but try not to let the sun go your head. Just remember that keeping call means keeping calm. The best advice for you is avoid midday burn out and instead make the most of warm balmy nights which is much more your style. Evenings are your time so get plenty of siestas in order to make the most of those midnight fiestas. The desire to let go of current concerns and head for greener pastures is stoked by the Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron.
The big news this month is that Mercury turns retrograde on May 6th at 1° Gemini and goes back to 22° Taurus when it Stations Direct on May 30th. When Mercury goes retrograde you can expect a higher frequency of misunderstandings as ‘retrograde’ implies inward and Mercury rules the mind. What is interesting here is that Mercury turns retrograde on a degree emphasizing spiritual development. You will probably find yourself withdrawing from the world as you reflect on all the thoughts that will be spinning in your head. You will be cutting through old habit patterns as you look closely at the flow of your mental processes. (Sounds rather deep, doesn’t it!) You will now have the opportunity to adjust your thoughts, attitudes and decisions so as to have a better understanding of your life. You will also want to make lists - lists of ‘things to do’. You’ll almost certainly forget them if you don’t write them down. Remember to stay calm and check things off on your list as you get them done. This will help yourself to emphasize what you DO accomplish instead of what you don’t. :-)
Other planetary activity includes Saturn continuing its’ retrograde motion in Virgo and Pluto retrograding in Capricorn. At the same time Jupiter and Neptuneare in Aquarius moving toward a conjunction (two or more planets that share the same degree in the same sign) on May 27th. This conjunction reminds you of your ideals. If you are happy with your lot in life, you will probably enjoy this period, but if you life is not going well, you may long for something better. Whatever happens, stay grounded in reality (Saturn) and make practical choices.
The Full Moon occurs on the 8th at 11:02pm at 18 Scorpio 41 and can bring up deep feelings from the past. Not only can there be emotional explosions, but there can be all sorts of electrical equipment breakdowns. The New Moon occurs on the 24th at 3 Gemini 28 at 7:12am. This is an extraordinary New Moon as Jupiter adds its’ energies of enterprise and expansion, new possibilities and perspectives.
To find out how this month’s planetary activity affects you personally, just call. I look forward to hearing from you. Toni
