Are you feeling drained these days?

Old Habits Dying Hard

Ch-ch-changes are happening during the month of May

Are you feeling drained these days? Yeah well, you’re not alone. I feel ya…

I’m extremely restless at times because I taste the imminent change in my world. It has a strangely exciting and even dangerous tang … kind of like metal on your tongue.  But if I’m being honest, for most of May I’ve felt exhausted. I don’t want to face the fall out that may accompany such change.

I know, I know. Join the club.

May is quite an unusual month astrologically when you consider that, sandwiched in between two eclipses — May 9 and May 25 — there’s the third of seven exact squares from Uranus to Pluto happening on May 20.

Total eclipse of the heart

Eclipse season alone can be unsettling. This time, we’ve had three eclipses which extends the unstable energy for us. The eclipses on the Scorpio/Taurus axis — April 25 and then May 9 — were really about letting go of our deeply entrenched habits that are based on what we think fulfills our physical security needs. It was about letting go and surrendering to what requires elimination … but we wrestled with this one. The May 9 Taurus Solar Eclipse suggested that we had a shot at something new, if we would only throw out that raggedy old security blanket first.

But that was the problem. Taurus likes security blankets.

Thankfully, Scorpio makes us realize that what Taurus thinks is security is only holding us back from deeper soul growth. Scorpio pointed out every last hole in Taurus’ security blanket. Then, adding insult to injury, he ripped them open even wider.

Believe or not, it gets more complicated with the May 25 Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius. The Astrology around this one is downright bewildering. Decisions are confusing and difficult. Yet we remain hopeful about turning the page in our lives because after all, Sagittarius holds fast to faith.

Lurking in the shadow of this Eclipse Season however, is the real astrological riptide … Uranus square Pluto. The fact that we receive an exact square on May 20 suggests that there’s no way we can escape the inevitable change the universe wants us to experience. Uranus to Pluto reminds us that breaking up patterns that are “old and better off dead” really need to happen. And it must happen now.

Ugh. Martini anyone?

It’s not just you

The bottom line is you’re going through it, I’m going through it … and the rest of the world is going through it. The ick factor you may feel will be directly related to any innate resistance to change you might have. And let’s face it … those fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius don’t like change very much. So if you have a strong fixed signature in your chart, the month of May is likely to feel a bit more uncomfortable.

To be honest, I kind of like May’s Astrology. Remember being a kid and going to the doctor for a needle or procedure? Ever have a doctor or nurse tell you something wasn’t going to hurt only to be writhing in pain seconds later? Don’t worry, May isn’t like that. May’s Astrology is telling you point blank that the more you resist the change you need to make, the more it will hurt.

So do yourself a favor. Lean in.

In May old habits must die. It’s up to you whether or not they’ll die hard.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 17th

To some extent, today is similar to last Sunday when the universe let up on its pressure-cooker approach to human affairs on our beleaguered planet in a solar system 26,000 light-years from the center of our galactic heart center. Instead of a Moon-Jupiter union — that occurred the morning of May 12 — we now have a supportive, 60-degree rapport from the lunar orb in Leo to giant Jupiter in Gemini (9:18AM PDT). Stay active and passionate about literary, publishing, educational and athletic pursuits.  The First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (energizing 28 degrees of Taurus and Leo at 9:36PM PDT) is a reminder to cut through apparent obstacles blocking your progress and to manage your business affairs with finesse. However, this solar-lunar square-off also begins a void-of-course uncertainty cycle that lasts until 2:34AM PDT tomorrow when the Moon enters meticulous Virgo.  In the meantime, start preparing for Monday May 20 when Part 3 (of a 7-Part Series of Uranus-Pluto square patterns) comes into manifestation. Anytime two of the three outer planets interact with one another, intense physical, emotional and mental fireworks are bound to explode around the world.

Finally Your Daily Horoscopes for May 12th

Our heightened expectations may lead to disappointment today unless we consciously bring our hopes back down to earth. Today’s adaptable Gemini Moon connects with optimistic Jupiter, highlighting the positive potential of a situation rather than a realistic assessment. The Moon’s influence is strong since there are no significant planetary aspects to distract us. But change comes slowly since several planets are still visiting steady Taurus.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have a bounce to your step and a mischievous twinkle in your eye today because you believe that you can put one over on reality. Unfortunately, you may be so clever now that you fool everyone, including yourself. Be careful … everything might appear to be light and easy but there are still potent forces at work just beyond the limits of what you’re able to sense. Nevertheless, your goals are attainable if you’re willing to dig beneath the surface.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your current mental agility has you fox-trotting around facts and tap-dancing to tall tales today. Unfortunately, you could be so hypnotized by your own smooth style that you don’t even notice when the music stops. You might be a lot more productive now if you concentrate on the tasks at hand rather than demonstrating how skillfully you can maneuver around the truth. Don’t forget that actions speak louder than words.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your thoughts are racing a mile a minute and there’s no simple way to slow them down. Normally, you might consider this adrenaline rush to be exhilarating, but now it’s more of an irritation than anything else. It’s one thing to think quickly, but it’s unfortunate if your current mental process is leading you around in circles. Nevertheless, don’t resist the repetition, for it could bring an unexpected breakthrough when you least expect it.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You are preoccupied with your fantasies today, but thankfully, no one needs to know what’s going on within your brain. You can easily keep up normal appearances now, enabling you to come and go as you please. Just don’t get so overconfident that you stop paying attention to your immediate surroundings or you could miss out on something in the real world which is even more delicious than your colorful daydreams.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to relax with a small group of friends or family, but you still have to fulfill your responsibilities in the real world. Luckily, you may not have to choose one over the other now if you do a little planning in advance. Instead of frittering away your day, make a list of things to do and then focus on each item until it’s done. If you concentrate your efforts, you’ll be surprised at how much time you have left over to enjoy the camaraderie you seek.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

People may look to you for acknowledgment today, but you don’t believe that you should have to put your stamp of approval on everything that happens. Luckily, you have enough common sense to remain uninvolved if a situation doesn’t concern you directly. However, this detachment could annoy a friend or family member because your attitude might be misinterpreted as displeasure. Take whatever time you need to make sure that everyone knows exactly how you feel. Negative feelings can be minimized by engaging in clear communication right from the start.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel distant from the real nitty-gritty of today’s events, but it isn’t because you have consciously withdrawn. In fact, your exuberance could be running at a fever pitch now, yet your words sound so philosophical that others might not understand what you’re saying. Visualizing your ideal world can be useful, but it doesn’t change anything unless you bring your ideas back down to Earth. Think globally, act locally, and speak practically.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your special gift today is being able to discuss a challenging personal experience in a manner that doesn’t make others feel awkward. You can feel the intensity while describing it in a straightforward style that carries no blame. Thankfully, your openness acts as a catalyst now, triggering a totally unexpected conversation. Even if you have a specific agenda, be open and talk about it with those you trust. When the topic shifts, simply adapt to the new landscape with a smile.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A close friend might talk your ear off today but you can’t seem to find a graceful way to stop them. You are known to speak your mind without realizing that your direct approach may offend those with thinner skin than yours. But now you would be wise to bite your tongue and listen to what’s being said. Surprisingly, your practice of discretion could even lead to learning something important about yourself. Keep in mind that your unselfish support has a deeper impact than you will ever know.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might secretly freak out for a moment when you realize you have a wild tiger by the tail today. However, your calm demeanor and steady persistence will soon have even the most vicious cat purring. Unfortunately, there’s no step-by-step diagram to show you how to manage the situation successfully. Luckily, your survival skills won’t let you down if you just do what comes naturally. Follow your primal instincts and you’ll have things under control faster than anyone expects.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You believe that you are due a real day off as a reward for your recent hard work. You’re ready to schedule a bit of rest and relaxation today, but unexpected complications may get in the way. Don’t make it worse by falling prey to the trap of complaining, since your negativity only annoys everyone around you. Instead, be responsible and handle whatever pops up with a can-do attitude and a smile. Laughter is contagious so utilizing your sense of humor now is a must.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Rather than running around in circles trying to accomplish something, retreat behind the walls of your home today. Pick up a book that you recently set aside and sink into it. Listen to some special music that inspires you to meditate and dream. Talk on the phone, chat online with a friend or put your feet up and escape into TV-land. It doesn’t really matter which distractions you choose. However, don’t let others make you feel guilty for taking some personal time … you deserve it just as much as anyone else.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 10th

Sometimes what the expansive universe conceives of as fun-and-games doesn’t feel that way to human souls having all sorts of trials and tribulations down here on Planet Earth. The cosmic shenanigans of the last few days — including now two long stretches of void lunar activity, plus the dark-of-the-moon shadow time on Wednesday and Thursday, as well as lunar connections to the often rash, red planet Mars — can grate on anyone’s nerves.  Nonetheless, the Taurus New Moon from yesterday is eagerly awaiting its chance to show you what wonders it can create. That must wait until 2:22PM PDT today when the void lunar cycle in Taurus shifts gears into lively, curious Gemini. Just before this takes place, the Sun merges its radiance with Pallas at 21 degrees of Taurus (1:40PM PDT) — providing a notable beacon of light, knowledge and wisdom that you can utilize during the several hours after the Moon enters Gemini at 2:22PM PDT. In addition, with Pallas super-strong right now, playing the amateur detective role makes total sense as your problem-solving skills are at white-hot capacity. Find time to enjoy board, card or word games with pals or the family.  The love boat sails into exotic ports of call — courtesy of the monthly Moon-Venus union in Gemini (5:50PM PDT). Even though this rendezvous of the Moon and beautiful Venus occurs at this specific moment, its warm and creative artistic expression can last for many hours. If you are not currently in a primary relationship, utilize this alliance to stir your interest in reading, writing, calligraphy, poetry, and advanced literary explorations.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 9th

Trying to gain forward traction in the early going won’t necessarily be like a walk in the park. While a supportive, 60-degree alliance between the Moon and Ceres (2:27AM PDT) signifies a temporary rise in productivity and persistence, a rush to judgment or inflammatory behavior sends you to the back of the class as the Moon parallels Mars (2:51AM PDT) while also making a union with the red planet in Taurus (6:53AM PDT). Being feisty and impetuous won’t win you rave reviews.  On the other hand, versatility and flexibility are promoted as Venus enters mutable Gemini (8:04AM PDT) until June 2. The stakes for success keep climbing as the dark-of-the-moon vibes point you in the direction of finishing up old ventures on a high note while the monthly Moon-Mercury union (12:07PM PDT) and a subtle, nurturing, 30-degree rapport from the Sun to Jupiter (1:14PM PDT) encourage you to keep moving ahead as a clear communicator and resourceful educator.  Finally, the New Moon (activating 20 degrees of Taurus at 5:30PM PDT with a component Annular Solar Eclipse occurring 4 minutes earlier) is the catalyst that wants to propel you forward to the promised land of prosperity. However, this moment of time — while carrying a note of golden opportunity — also starts a void-of-course lunar uncertainty factor that will continue until 2:22PM PDT tomorrow. It is often best to simply go with the cosmic flow during a void lunar time-span — not forcing issues, but taking everything in stride and enjoying the celestial ride.  Meanwhile, the Moon unites with Pallas (6:16PM PDT) — a signal, even if moderate, that problem-solving skills and strategic thinking can still lead to important realizations of your next steps ahead in the near future.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, May 8th

Our plans should begin to gain traction now that four planets are moving through steady Taurus, but we may need to wait until after tomorrow’s New Moon Eclipse to see any progress. The Moon’s shift into pragmatic Taurus at 6:09 am EDT prompts us to determine the most reliable path to success. However, jumping to conclusions is counterproductive. Still, we must work to overcome our own psychological resistance in order to achieve satisfaction.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although your bark is bigger than your bite today, you’re actually less excitable than you were earlier in the week. However, others may not be able to read you correctly so they don’t pick up on your impatience. Someone might misinterpret your assertive style and could even think that you’re acting desperately. But your current persistence gives you greater strength than is apparent. Don’t be sidetracked by what anyone else believes now; just focus on your goal and move forward on your own.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You are determined to get exactly what you want, yet you could become your own worst enemy now if you allow your fear of failure to run the show. Anxiety increases your stress level, and you may begin to shut down emotionally instead of remaining adaptable enough to respond to changes. Ease your tension by reminding yourself that worrying isn’t helpful. You have an opportunity today to choose flexibility over stubbornness, making everyone happier in the process.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel sluggish today, as if you cannot find a reason to start moving. However, this problem is less about physical laziness than emotional apathy. Although you know what you want, you can’t decide if potential success is worth the effort. Ironically, weighing the pros and cons won’t bring you any closer to an answer yet. Instead of spinning your wheels now, wait until after tomorrow’s New Moon Eclipse before taking major steps toward your future goals.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You are willing to confront your own fears now so you can process them before exploring a difficult subject with a close friend or partner. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to happiness today, so you need to jump in and be willing to deal with whatever happens. You are traveling through mysterious terrain and it’s crucial that you take it slowly enough to fully absorb the experience as you go along.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If anyone asks you a question today, he or she better be ready to listen because you have a lot to say and you are eager to share your opinion. Unfortunately, you may not be able to give a simple yes or no answer. You have a story to tell and won’t stop until you’ve delivered your entire response. Just remember that others might not have the time for the extended version so keep your message as uncomplicated as possible to get your point across.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are playing for keeps today and there’s not much that can deter you from your goal. Last night’s Mercury-Mars hook-up may still trick you into thinking that your way is the best way to accomplish your work now. But there are many approaches to success and it’s very likely that someone else will have a better idea. Remain open to what others say, for your ability to adjust your plans could bring you to your destination even quicker.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel uncomfortable today because you typically rely on your intellect rather than on your emotions. But last night’s Mercury-Mars conjunction is still blurring the boundaries between objective logic and impulsive actions. Leading with your heart is fine if you are aware of what you’re doing. Your lack of clarity now should stand as a warning not to make critical decisions until after tomorrow’s New Moon Eclipse.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your natural ability to explore the shadows of your subconscious mind can make you a really good friend to someone special. Your loyalty is unwavering as you jointly explore the darker side of passion today. It’s much easier to stick with the intense process of transformation now when the spotlight is on another person, rather than you. Remember to be just as kind to yourself if your feelings are the ones being judged.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Practicality is easily integrated into your routine now, but you can still be off base even if you think you’re using common sense. You must be careful because you could set your heart on a particular goal. It’s possible to make a wrong decision, even if you approach the problem with your feet on the ground. You’ll do much better after you gain more perspective, so allow a day or two to pass before giving your final answer.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may seem more intense today because every word you utter is supercharged with emotion. However, you won’t likely waste words with communicator Mercury and several other planets in laid-back Taurus. Even if you attempt to make your point clearly, you might not be as logical as you think. Step back from any situation that gets you riled up now and consider all your options before saying anything at all.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

No matter what professional circumstances are impacting your life now, the behavior of your coworkers is less important than your reactions. Accordingly, you have more control over what happens next than you realize. Instead of trying to outmaneuver anyone else, strengthen your own foundation first. It’s not about what others think … it’s about believing in yourself.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might think that you’re being extremely clear about your intentions and what you’re doing today, but a close friend or family member still could misinterpret your behavior. Unfortunately, you become less believable as you try to justify your actions because your emotions speak louder than your logic. Your smartest strategy now is to follow through with what you started and save your explanations for another day.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 8th

The universe appears to still be in more of attack mode than loving, wise guardian angel for the time being. Yesterday’s rough behavior — mostly due to Mercury uniting with Mars, Ceres opposing Pluto, and Venus at odds with Pluto — is still having repercussions behind the scenes, so to speak.  In addition, the uncertainty of the void Moon in Aries lingers until 3:10AM PDT this morning when the lunar orb celebrates its arrival in the sign of its exaltation, earthy Taurus. The general theme here is to bring ideas down into material existence while also dealing practically with money matters. It is also advised to enjoy gardening, cooking, baking, arts, crafts and hobbies for a change of pace without allowing a stubborn attitude to take hold.  A flowing trine from Vesta to Neptune in water signs (5:04AM PDT) can offer you insights that raise the value of your assets and investments. Why troubles could be brewing is due to the monthly Moon-Saturn polarity (5:37PM PDT) — followed by Mercury square to Juno (6:27PM PDT) and Mercury parallel to Mars (9:48PM PDT). Be careful not to light sparks with loved ones that can lead to controversy and unanticipated discord.  Adding a further component of disarray is the strengthening force of the dark-of-the-moon monthly cycle that happens just before a New Moon and which signifies the need to wrap up projects that have been in the works during the past four weeks.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, May 2nd

horoscope

 

Unresolved issues with an authority figure might resurface today, reactivating tensions that we thought had already passed. The rebellious Aquarius Moon squares combative Mars and the Sun in stubborn Taurus, setting the stage for conflict that can be easily avoided with a touch of diplomacy. Fortunately, our optimism grows throughout the day. We could have such a complete change of heart by the afternoon that we’re claiming everything is fine.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Getting together with friends or working as part of a team sounds like a good idea today with the Moon occupying your 11th House of Social Networking. However, you don’t like it so much when others boss you around you without even asking for your input. You’re not excited about living up to someone else’s expectations and you might go overboard when telling them off now. Don’t waste your energy being angry. Be smart and spend your time with those who support you the most.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You might feel obligated to nurture your coworkers now that the Moon is visiting your 10th House of Career. But you’re not interested in babying someone who should be able to hold up his or her part of the bargain. You believe your opinion is correct and you’re not likely to change your mind even if someone asks you to reconsider. Be open to discussing differing perspectives instead of going silent and resisting change. Remember, there is more than one way to interpret reality.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Normally, adaptability is one of your strengths, but today the notion of changing your plans for someone else’s benefit rubs you the wrong way. It’s difficult to get into the flow of the day because you have a particular idea about how things should go, yet they keep deviating from your agenda and pulling you off course. Even if you must modify your approach now, don’t lose sight of your final destination. It’s possible to have a singular goal with a variety of roads that will land you there, no matter which you choose.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The idea of exploring your emotions today with someone you trust sounds good at first. But differences of style or substance may have you questioning the wisdom of sharing what’s in your heart. Even if you feel vulnerable, keep an open mind about where the process will ultimately take you. Don’t get your hopes so high that you’ll be disappointed no matter how well things turn out. However, your willingness to interact honestly can deepen a relationship in a surprising way.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Unconscious motivations drive your ambitions to new heights today with four planets moving through your 10th House of Status. However, someone close to you may not be willing to play your game, and this wild card threatens your success. Attempts to control an independent person could be a study in frustration now, so go ahead with your plans on your own, if necessary. Believing in yourself empowers you to reach your goal even without the support of others.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may approach your job in a totally unique manner today. Although you’re quite certain your method will work, others might not share your confidence. In fact, they will resist your efforts if their goals are different than yours. Thankfully, your coworkers are likely to change their minds and join your team if they see that you’re making progress on your own. Doing it your way is fine as long as you remain open to accepting assistance when it arrives.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be feeling a creative buzz today from the eccentric Aquarius Moon activating your 5th House of Self-Expression. But your mind isn’t focused on the work at hand; instead you’re busy imagining the distant future or visualizing a far-off land. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re unable to accomplish your goals on a practical level now. Sometimes exploring your dreams is just what the doctor ordered.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have plenty of data to substantiate your conclusions today, but not everyone buys your story. Someone may rub you the wrong way because of his or her refusal to acknowledge the truth. Unfortunately, logic won’t convince anyone that you’re right. Your actions will ultimately speak louder than all your facts and figures combined. Just make sure you don’t fall victim to the same fate as your opponent by refusing to listen to a different perspective. The healthiest position is attained by keeping your mind open.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you might wake up on the wrong side of the bed today, a conversation with the right person quickly improves your attitude. You may be skeptical at first, but people can inspire you with their stories and excite you with their plans for the future. You’re willing to work hard if you can see the potential rewards, but you’re more likely to put your money on a sure thing now, rather than a risky venture. Don’t be afraid to jump into someone else’s game if you’re invited.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be weary of the recent emotionally stormy weather, but the sky begins to clear today and your life seems to be looking up. However, you can’t just declare that everything is getting better and then hope it does because your rational mind isn’t running the show now. Instead, imagine your ideal future and then start walking toward it. Manifesting your best-case scenario is possible if you have faith in yourself and still believe in magic.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s challenging to maintain your normally cool demeanor today because irrational emotions keep bubbling up into awareness. Even if your feelings grow more positive throughout the day, you naturally prefer a more intellectual approach. However, the evocative Moon is traveling through your sign now, and applying logic isn’t useful when managing your changing moods. Instead of trying to explain what you need, wait and see where you end up when you let your desires carry you along for a little while.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The non-conformist Aquarius Moon stimulates your 12th House of Spirituality, highlighting your comfort with the metaphysical realms. Meanwhile, an otherworldly connection between philosophical Jupiter and surreal Neptune calls in the mists of illusion, preventing you from seeing things as they truly are. Don’t push your dreams away now because you stand to gain new inspiration from your imagination as long as you don’t confuse it with reality.
