Savitu-Vrata in India, dedicated to Heroine/ Goddess Savitri, or Sarasvati, Queen of Heaven. (Isis, Mary, Kwan Yin, Yemaya, Freya, Erzulie, Ishtar, Inanna, Mawu, Changing Woman, Sarah.) She was the origin of Brahman- ism, later Brahma’s wife.

Thursday is the day of the planet Jupiter, dedicated to Thunor(Thor), God of thunder and agricultural work. His parallels in various European traditions are Zeus, Taranis, Perun, Perkunas and St. Olaf. The faith of the Northern Tradition holds Thursday sacred, just as Islam reveres Friday, Judaism the Sabbath(calculated from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday), and Christianity, Sunday. This is why almost all adages about Thursday are positive, such as “Thursday’s child has far to go,” “Sneeze on Thursday, something better,” or “Cut nails on Thursday for wealth.” Thursday rules controlled optimism, energetic growth, physical well-being and material success.

And we have just arrived to Thursday, named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder. He travels through the heavens in a chariot, wearing a special belt and iron gloves which give him extra strength to lift his giant hammer.
Romance languages based their fifth day’s name upon the Latin Dies Iovis, meaning the Day of Jupiter (jueves in Spanish, jeudi in French, giovedi in Italian). Jupiter was a chief Roman god, the god of laws and social order. His attribute was a thunderbolt.
Before we start talking about the Libra Moon, let’s begin with a bit of information about the Moon itself. Astrologers consider the Moon a planet. It moves so quickly through the sky that it passes through each of the 12 zodiac signs every month.
When the Moon is in Libra you might also feel a bit like Ginger Rogers, and everyone and everything you meet is Fred Astaire. During this time of the Libra Moon, your mantra may be “grace in space.” If you meet an obstacle or encounter resistance, you’ll be able to dance like you expected it to be there. Because Libra’s natural skills are diplomacy and negotiation, the Moon in Libra gives you the ability to use charm and tact to get what you want.
The New Moon is all about a new cycle, and the Libra New Moon is all about finding ways to reestablish balance that has been lost. Finding a sense of balance allows us to deal with life’s issues smoothly, and helps us to discover the peaceful neutral point from which clarity, common sense, and cooperation come from. Whether it’s in personal or business relationships, the influence of the Libra New Moon helps us see both sides of any story.
This may also be the time when you initiate new relationship, or get a fresh start in an ongoing one. A New Moon in Libra will gently nudge you to hit the emotional reset button and start over so that you can look to the horizon with renewed anticipation.
Every Full Moon is a culmination of a monthly cycle, and the social Libra Full Moon is no exception as it challenges you to manage your desire for companionship with your need for independence. Our connection to others and relationships are always at the forefront during a Full Moon so this isn’t a surprise, but it is even more noticeable during the Full Moon in Libra. Because you’ll have a heightened awareness of your emotions, you’ll have incredible clarity about any inequity in your partnerships.

Changes in your life are happening, or about to, when you draw the number 5. This is good karma because you have wanted something new and exciting. Whatever you let go of – be that emotional, physical, or spiritual – is working in your favor. You may be tempted to backpedal into old habits because it was what you knew, so it feels comfortable or right. Not so. Think more about what you want, the positives, rather than what you don’t, or the negatives. This will help the change seem effortless.
Don’t talk to a lover about doing something thrilling, just take action and leave the conversation for afterward. Are you able to just grab your partner and go?

Today the cards will reveal your secret tarot superpower. An inner strength deep within your core that you can draw on whenever you need to. This inner quality can only be represented by a Major Arcana card. Research the card, mull over it, and always remember it. When you feel at your limit of endurance, when you feel as though the whole world is against you, reach for your TSK or Tarot Superpower Keyword. Hold the image of the card as if it were engraved on your heart. It’s yours.
All cards are shuffled and drawn at random.
The 12th Major Arcana shows that you have the capacity to view any situation from a different perspective if you simply pause and feel what your inner guidance is telling you. You might, initially want to rush into battle or act impulsively, but if you give it a little time, you may find the answer to any problem is right in front of you. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Stop.
Very fitting for you, Taurus. The Empress reflects your idea that to flourish is to live well, and to live well is to flourish. When times are tough, remember the Empress within. She reassures you it is not the outer accoutrements of life that make you who you are, but the abundance in your heart that counts. Give freely of your time and love. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Generous.
Often a scary card for many. Yet for you Gemini, throwing things up in the air to see how they land is part of who you are. And don’t let anyone stop you. Sometimes, you have to live for you, despite pressure from others to do what they think you should. Shake it up. But, remember, it’s always a good idea to have a Plan B lined up in case things go wrong. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Disruption.
Always follow your heart. Messages from above, from within, from wherever, are all filtered through your sensitive psyche. Loud and clear. It’s when you go against the inner message that things begin to go awry. You always know what to do if you pay attention to the calling. And, know that forgiveness is balm for your own soul. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Listen
Perfect for you Leo. Take that charisma and turn it into a force to be reckoned with. Like the Emperor, you are a natural leader. You are able to create structure and order from chaos. Call on this essential ability whenever things seem to be on the verge of imploding. Take charge and lead by example. Build your future with determination. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Order.
When times get a little edgy, a little uncertain, place faith in your own inner strength. Tell yourself, in no uncertain terms, you’ve got through situations before and you will do so again. Know that tough times are always temporary obstacles. You can overcome them, defeat them, or avoid them by using your animal instinct. Just know it. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Conviction.
How cool is the tarot? Temperance merely underlines what you already know to be true. That life is better when all things work together. When your inner self is in balance, harmony, and alignment with your external actions. You are a master alchemist when it comes to living true to yourself. You can show the world how to embrace peace. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Unify.
Reach inside your heart for the love that resides there, Scorpio. The energy of the Star is your reward. Full of hope and faith it reminds you not to let others affect your vibration and energy. You are your own person. Trust in your innate wisdom. And, while it is in your nature to sacrifice your time for others, you do not have to give up on yourself. Rise above the mundane irritations. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Transcend.
The fire within burns ever bright. The Sun is a metaphor for your indomitable spirit. Knock you down and you get right back up, none the worse. This ability is yours forever and never forget it. Doesn’t matter who hurts you, or what pain you suffer, your inner sunshine is always present within. And people will bask in the glow of your light. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Intrepid.
Somewhere within your stoical, practical self, there is a part of you who is a gambler, Capricorn. Who, with a little self-persuasion, is willing to take a risk. To get outside of that comfort zone you have spent so much effort constructing for yourself. Spin the wheel now and then. Embrace the unknown with grace and optimism. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Chance.
Every time you question or doubt yourself, know that at any moment in time, you are exactly in the right place. Sometimes you’ll be making progress and sometimes you will feel frustrated at being held back. It doesn’t matter; you are fine. Just go with your instinct and take those opportunities. You are traveling the cycle of life with dexterity and aplomb. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Acceptance.
You always manage to overcome your limitations, Pisces. It might be under your own steam, it might be with the help of others, or it might be that the problem miraculously dissolves of its own accord. You don’t know it, but you have the power of the magician at your elbow to help you create the life of your dreams. Tarot Superpower Keyword: Belief.
We hope you enjoyed our tarot superpower tarotscope, and that you keep your special card close to your heart.
The cards used for illustration are from the Mystical Tarot, published by Lo Scarabeo.
This suit, most often called “Wands” and sometimes called “Rods” or “Staves,” represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.
Traditionally representing the energy of a dynamic King, this card represents the classic conquering hero. He’s a charismatic leader, entrepreneurial and ambitious, always creating new adventures. He does this because he doesn’t like to stay home or to have to “mind the store” — he gets to feeling restless and bored with the predictable. If you need a crusader, or someone to take on a big challenge, he’s your man. He needs a big assignment, and would rather lead than follow.
It could be said that he has a bit of an ego, as evidenced in his enjoyment of flattery and praise. A bit of a performer, he overachieves in situations where it will be noticed, but in private he wants to be served and adored like the head lion of a pride. A benevolent dictator, he makes life wonderful for those he loves and just the opposite for those who displease him.

Practical and well-grounded, Taurus is the sign that harvests the fruits of labor. They feel the need to always be surrounded by love and beauty, turned to the material world, hedonism, and physical pleasures. People born with their Sun in Taurus are sensual and tactile, considering touch and taste the most important of all senses. Stable and conservative, this is one of the most reliable signs of the zodiac, ready to endure and stick to their choices until they reach the point of personal satisfaction.
Taurus is an Earth sign, just like Virgo and Capricorn, and has the ability to see things from a grounded, practical and realistic perspective. They find it easy to make money and stay on same projects for years, or until they are completed. What we often see as stubbornness can be interpreted as commitment, and their ability to complete tasks whatever it takes is uncanny. This makes them excellent employees, great long-term friends and partners, always being there for people they love. Earthly note makes them overprotective, conservative, or materialistic at times, with views of the world founded on their love of money and wealth.
The ruler of Taurus is Venus, the planet of love, attraction, beauty, satisfaction, creativity and gratitude. This tender nature will make Taurus an excellent cook, gardener, lover, and artist. They are loyal and don’t like sudden changes, criticism or the chase of guilt people are often prone to, being somewhat dependable on other people and emotions they seem to be unable to let go of. Still, no matter their potential emotional challenge, these individuals have the ability to bring a practical voice of reason in any chaotic and unhealthy situation.
Taurus – the Wandering Bull Being the one who betrayed their best friend, goddess Hera herself, this is an unfortunate being that has to wander the Earth in order to find freedom. As if something was always poking them behind their back, reminding them of happiness that once was, stinging and pushing forwards, they close up in their own worlds, lonely and separated from their core. To find love, a Taurus has to travel the world, change perspective or make a shift in their entire belief system and their system of values.
One always has to be prepared to have patience for a Taurus lover. They are extremely sensual, touch, smell and all pleasurable senses being extremely important to them, but they also need time to create a safe environment and relax in their sexual encounters. When they create enough intimacy with a loved one, they become a bit gooey, sometimes even needy, and have to keep their emotions in check, holding on to practical reasoning, while embracing change and initiative of their partner at all times.
For long-term relationships they often choose people from the same social environment that are able to respond to their intellectual needs, but also the expectations of their family and close friends. Holding on to traditional values and the practical side to life, this is a sign that rarely chooses a partner who won’t fulfill basic expectations of their upbringing, often showing and receiving attention through gifts and material things. If they stick to the moral code too stiffly and refuse all taboos and adventurous approaches, they could end up swimming in frustration and anger issues they don’t know how to resolve, often manifesting through the person standing in front of them. Taurus compatibility with other signs can be complicated.
This is a sign of physical pleasure, hedonism and the flow of emotion that isn’t reserved for just anyone. Select the match in the widget bellow to discover who makes their heart jump:
Friends – People born in this sign are loyal and always willing to lend a hand of friendship, although they can be closed up for the outer world before they build trust for new social contacts they make. Many of their friendships begin in childhood with a tendency to last them a lifetime. Once they make a clear intimate connection to another person, they will do anything they can to nurture the relationship and make it functional even in the hard times.
Family – Home and matters of the family are very important to every Taurus. This is a person who loves kids and appreciates time spent with people who love them, respecting family routines, customs, and present in all events and gatherings. They will enjoy hosting house parties for both their family and friends, and don’t mind cooking a meal for a room full of people if they just have fun in return.
Taurus representatives usually love money and will work hard in order to earn it. They are reliable, hardworking, patient and thorough, as an employee or someone in a position of power. When focused on a specific project, they will firmly stick to it, no matter what happens in the world around them. Stability is the key to understand their working routine. The search for material pleasures and rewards is an actual need to build their own sense of value and achieve a satisfying luxurious, yet practical way of life. Their job is observed as a means to make it possible.
Taurus is a Sun sign well organized with their finances, and all of their bills will be paid without delay. They care for their pension, taking responsibility and saving some money for a rainy day, able to make due with a really small and a really big salary just the same. Occupations that fit them are agriculture, banking, art, and anything that involves culinary skills.
If you are in search for a strong, loyal and generous man, Taurus is the person you are looking for. He is trustworthy, patient and tender when in love, always in search for a returned emotion. He will not pick on subtle hinds and suggestive looks from those who flirt with him, being a bit slow on the uptake as if waiting for someone to ask them out. He dislikes artificiality of any kind, and values conversations filled with genuine statements, especially when it comes to compliments and love declarations.
A Taurus man needs time to build trust and anyone on a chase for his heart needs to take the time earning it. As a person of very few words, he will seem impossible to penetrate at times, as if nothing can touch him. An invitation for a delicious home-cooked mean is always a safe bet when dating this man, as well as choosing a place that is comfortable and cozy, rather than popular or modern. Turned to nature and common thinking, he will see sex as something that comes when the time is right, rarely puts any pressure on his partner and feels like it is something to be enjoyed, not so much something to crave for. A part of his fixed, static character is the potential inability to forgive betrayal, and he needs to feel truly safe to settle down with one partner for good.
If you want to seduce a woman born with her Sun in Taurus, you will need to appeal to her sense of romance. Taurus women want to be courted and slowly seduced, even when they have already decided to enter a relationship with someone. They need things to move slowly, and will rarely jump into a sexual bond quickly and without thinking long and hard about her choices.
A Taurus woman longs for true love and security. It is very unlikely that she will give into her desires and instincts quickly, and if someone wishes to have her heart, they will have to spend a lot of time and energy into the game of winning her over, making her feel comfortable. Once she falls in love she becomes affectionate, intimate, close and loyal, standing by her partner for as long as he is faithful to her. She has an eye for beautiful things and appreciates simplicity of fine things in life, so the way to approach her is through enjoyable shared moments, respect for privacy, fine food and a gentle touch. This is a woman who doesn’t like to feel rushed when dating and needs to have her time. Once she feels comfortable and secure with someone, she will happily and quickly give her heart without holding back.
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 1 PM to 3 PM EDT today (10 AM to 12 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.
You’ll be so charming today, in the blink of an eye you’ll get what you want from others. You will be fast-moving and even aggressive but it will be so smooth, no one will mind. Even you will be amazed at the success of your charms.

The full moon on Saturday May 18, 2019 at 27° Scorpio is opposite Mercury. This means self-centered and overly rational thinking could lead to disagreements and prejudice. The Sun with planet Sedna and the notorious star Algol bring painful memories or pending loss associated with illness, violence or natural disaster.
The Moon in the Constellation of Lupus the Wolf makes aggression and victimization major themes for full moon May 2019. However, helpful aspects to Pluto allow for greater understanding and positive transformations through sacrifice and offering.
A full moon occurs when the Sun is opposite the Moon. This highlights opposing forces or polarities in your life such as your work versus home, or what you need versus what you want. Inner tension and external pressures can lead to personal conflict and crises that drain your energy. Your home, family and intimate relationships comes into sharper focus following a full moon.
The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts reach their peak at a full moon. Use you increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an impartial and balanced look at your personal relationships. You will clearly see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.
The May 18 full moon at 27°36′ Scorpio makes aspects to Mercury, Pluto and minor planet Sedan as shown below. The Sun and Mercury join two important fixed stars in Constellation Perseus, but the Moon joins only minor stars in Constellations Libra and Lupus.
Full Moon opposite Mercury makes it harder to share your feelings because of scrambled or polarized thinking. The Sun with Mercury means your thinking may become selfish or overly rational, lacking in empathy. Arguments can result from misunderstandings or emotional biases such as tribalism, patriotism or racism.
Sensitive discussion topics and negotiations will likely be problematic. But this is a good full moon for spending time in reflection, or chatting with a mentor about some of your feelings which might be holding you back.
Full Moon sextile Pluto is not a strong aspect at over 4 degrees but Mercury trine Pluto (1°23′) is. So Pluto has an important and positive influence on this full moon. It helps you focus and understand things at a deeper level. It helps you get in touch with your feelings, especially your deeply buried emotions.
More intense personal interactions will show exactly how you feel about someone and how they feel about you. Relationship will evolve to a deeper level or you will be free to move on. Like a psychologist you can deeply probe under the surface to solve mysteries or investigate crimes and secrets.
Full moon opposite minor planet Sedna suggests the rationalizations and difficulty in communicating emotionally may have something to do with deeply buried memories of cataclysmic events like floods and tsunamis. Sedna seems to be associated with climate change, especially as it relates to the oceans and extreme weather events.
Full Moon May 2019 falls within the ecliptic Constellation of Libra as shown in the image above. Where there is an imbalance, the Scales find a state of equilibrium by punishing hate and rewarding love. A full moon in Libra Constellation is also symbolic of those things that we find most difficult to come to terms with, especially about ourselves and our past, both individually and collectively.
The full moon also aligns with some minor stars within Lupus the Wolf or the Victim, symbolic of sacrifice and offering. Lupus Constellation gives an acquisitive, grasping, aggressive, prudent and treacherous nature, with a keen desire for knowledge, and strong ill-regulated passions. [1]
See Precession of the Equinoxes to learn why Libra Constellation is in Scorpio Sign.
27 ♏ 38 – Full Moon May 2019
27 ♏ 45 – Phi1 Lupi
27 ♏ 54 – Pi Lupi
27 ♏ 58 – Lambda Lupi
28 ♏ 01 – Kappa Librae
The Sun, Sedna and Mercury are conjunct notorious stars in Perseus Constellation. The Sun and Sedna are with Algol, while Mercury is conjunct Capulus.
Fixed star Algol causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature. With the Sun: Violent death or extreme sickness. [1]
Perseus Constellation is indicative of events affecting large numbers of people, especially those events caused by major meteorological phenomena. [2]
The May 18 full moon opposite Mercury creates selfish and polarized thinking that can lead to prejudice and arguments. The full moon in Constellation Lupus the Wolf brings potential for aggression and victimization.
The full moon opposite planet Sedna and the star Algol suggests past or present illness, violence or natural disasters could be the cause of emotional pain and suffering for many. But A helpful aspect to Pluto increases self understanding and acceptance. Awareness of emotional triggers for destructive behaviors can lead to positive transformations.
Full moon May 2019 calls for greater empathy for those less fortunate who are suffering through no fault of their own. The Moon in Constellations of the Scales and the Wolf facilitates karmic rebalancing through sacrifice. This could include donating to charity, quitting a bad habit or stopping domestic violence.
A full moon has a relationship to the previous new moon. Your May 4 new moon goals can now be fine-tuned or completed, it is harvest time. You can make emotional adjustments in response to those new goals. The May 18 full moon lasts for two weeks up to the June 3 new moon.
From May 15–18, we have a happy connection between Venus and Mars: Venus enters Taurus and Mars enters Cancer and, for a brief time, they are close enough to form a sextile. A sextile (60 degrees apart) brings opportunities for manifestation. You don’t have to have planets in Taurus or Cancer to access and use this positive energy, but there are a few things you do need to know—and do.
Venus is the planet of love and prosperity, named after the goddess Venus (Aphrodite in the Greek pantheon). One of her consorts was Mars (or Ares in the Greek) the god of action and war. Venus is the female archetype while Mars is the male archetype, and from this union, romantic and sexual love were born. And when these two planets line up in the sky, more than love is possible—there is also the potential financial opportunities (Venus was a wealthy goddess) and manifestation.
Over the course of the year, Venus and Mars engage in a dance. Sometimes movement is difficult or clumsy, and someone’s toes might end up getting smashed. But from May 15–18, Venus and Mars swirl around in an elegant waltz. During this time, you will read and hear of deals being struck, agreements reached, and compromises. Politicians try to work together and opposing sides call a short truce. Movie and television personalities talk of love affairs and marriage. Businesses post large earnings and celebrate successes.
This energy can help you manifest your goals. It can give you a boost when you’re sending your wishes out to the universe. It can put you in the right place at the right time. The trouble with positive energy in a busy world is it can be overlooked. Most people will let this positive period pass them by because they’re not paying attention; it will just be a few pleasant days. But for a spiritually attuned person, this is energy you can use.
List these dates in your calendar, perhaps accompanied by a gold star. During this period, you’ll want to take action on your goals: Venus is the goal and Mars is the action. This is a good time to upload your profile to a dating site; it’s a good time to check out some social groups in your area; this is the right time to pop the question to your beloved, or at least broach the subject of living together. Consider putting your creative ideas out in the world—audition, pitch, or try your skills at an open mic night. Consider using this energy to ask for a raise or, if you work for yourself, to raise your rates.
For love:
If love is your goal and you are looking for a relationship, take a small piece of paper and draw the symbol of Venus in the upper left-hand corner. In the lower right-hand corner, draw the symbol of Mars. In the center of the page write three things that need to happen for you to manifest what you want. This may be something like:
Fold the paper diagonally so that the symbol of Venus and the symbol of Mars touch. Then keep folding until you can’t fold the paper anymore. Carry it with you in your wallet or purse during the three day Venus sextile Mars period.
For money:
If you’re looking for money. Draw the symbol of Venus in the lower left-hand corner and the symbol of Mars in the upper right-hand corner. Now, in the center, write three things that are within your power to do to manifest what you want. If you wanted a new job you might list:
Fold the paper diagonally so that the symbol of Venus touches the symbol of Mars. Then keep folding until you can’t fold it anymore. Carry it with you during this period
