Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 29th

Aries

Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion is on his own in your income sector and due to leave in just 2 weeks time, he won’t be back for another 12 years. Even the Moon has made his last visit and with all your cards on the table it’s time to bring things home. It’s the Moon’s position in your work sector today that is sharpening your instincts, allowing you to put your income and work objectives on the same page.

Taurus

When the Sun and Mercury left your sign last week, as well as wrapping up your birthday month they left Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion on his own. With Jupiter due to leave your sign in just 2 weeks time and not to return for another 12 years, today marks the start of the 14 day wind down of your Jupiter return. It’s now that you’re laying down the foundations for the next 12 years, with a need to keep your expectations for the future high.

Gemini

With the main thrust of your professional year underway there is a real call to pull back. While new doors will open on the work front in the second half of the year and the busiest months of the year are still in front of you, you’ve reached a point where having the right work/life balance is more important than anything else. With this comes a need to spend time revisiting the professional dreams and aspirations you came into the year with.

Cancer

It’s where you feel that you’re having to put on a face or go along to social engagements because you have to, that you need a bit of a wakeup call. As tempting as it might be to issue a rain check or come up with some kind of excuse, trust that this is as important for you as it is for anyone else. Instead of thinking that you can’t let others down, think about not letting yourself down, for this is an important day for both networking and connecting.

Leo

The Moon is making his last visit to your income sector before Jupiter leaves your career sector in just 14 days time, giving you a chance to not only sharpen your nose for money but to hook into your warrior spirit. This is the Moon’s first visit to your income sector since Mars cleared his final roadblocks and with his drives and passions now unfettered, you have a chance to breakthrough any remaining glass ceilings.

Virgo

The Moon and Mars align in your sign today, evoking your passions and bringing some strong emotional responses. At a time when things are heating up on the professional front, but also Neptune is slowing down ahead of a retrograde turn in your relationship sector next week, this is going to stir your personal and professional passions. All of a sudden you’re waking up to the fact that if you don’t like something you can change it.

Libra

Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition will normally spend 6 weeks in an intuitive part of your chart, giving you a chance to slow down and recharge your batteries, before returning to your sign and opening the door to new quests. But Mars has already been here for 6 ½ months and won’t return to your sign until early July, with signs of frustration starting to show. Ease that frustration by exploring the kind of quests that excite your passions.

Scorpio

As financially focused as things are right now, it’s on the personal front that a new sense of urgency is setting your priorities. With Neptune turning retrograde in your romantic sector in a week from today and Jupiter leaving your relationship sector in 2 weeks from today, both not only need your attention but for you to focus on the future. It’s by knowing what you want from love and from your relationships that you’re less likely to lose your way.

Sagittarius

As the Moon and Mars align in your career sector this puts your professional instincts and passions on the same page, just 14 days before Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion is due to leave your work sector. This gives you the motivation to make the next 2 weeks count and with the relationship focus due to expand dramatically over that time, this brings a need to create some clear boundaries.

Capricorn

As professionally focused as things are right now they’re going to become even more professionally focused, with even more stunning developments on the work front over the coming weeks. This makes it important to hold back, holding onto a passion for adventure and discovery and a sense of curiosity. You’ll get a lot done if you have your head down and your tail up, but you’ll lose your sense of vision if you do this 24/7.

Aquarius

As the Moon and Mars align in your financial sector today expect your financial instincts and passions to fuse, igniting your fighting spirit but not the financial tensions of previous months. This is the Moon’s first visit to your financial sector since tensions between your income and financial sectors eased back, giving you a chance that time really has moved on. Instead of using your fighting spirit to fight challenges, use it to chase opportunities.

Pisces

As the Moon not only makes his first visit to your relationship sector since personal and relationship tensions eased, but aligns with passionate Mars energy, this gives you a chance to identify what you need to be fighting for or against. The Moon will only make one more visit to your relationship sector before Mars, planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos leaves in early July, with his visit today all about evoking your passions and getting you involved.

Your Weekly General Horoscopes for May 29th

Aries

With Jupiter on his own in your income sector but getting ready to leave in a few weeks time, this is a week for consolidating things on the income front, cementing your expectations and beginning the process of walking the talk. This comes just as Mars is about to move into his last full month in your work sector, with a visit from the Moon from Monday to Wednesday sharpening your instincts and evoking the kind of emotional responses that will get your passions moving. Meanwhile, although Jupiter is still another 2 weeks away from your communication sector there is something special developing there, with the communication lines now running in all directions. This is having the most impact on the relationship front, where the door is open to second chances and making up for lost time.

Taurus

The Sun and Mercury both left your sign last week, wrapping up your birthday month and setting your new solar year on the course you want it to continue on. Yet with Jupiter still here the much bigger job of laying down the foundations for a Jupiter cycle of expansion that won’t run its course until 2023 is still under way, although due to leave on the 12th June this has become a lot more urgent. Already the focus is shifting to your income situation, which is fast becoming the biggest game in town. Jupiter will return to your income sector on the 12th June, kicking off the most expansive year in over a decade for both income matters and for expanding your expectations across all the currencies in your life, but already the door is open to both new opportunities and second chances.

Gemini

After a solar eclipse in your sign last week and a lunar eclipse in your relationship sector next week, a week off from the intensity eclipses bring is just what you need. While the Sun returned to your sign and kicked off one of your most important solar years in a decade last Monday and Mercury returned last Thursday this is the first, last and only full week that they’ll spend here together. You begin the week with the Sun and Mercury aligned in your sign, giving you the clarity and intellectual savvy to take your power back and start making informed choices and decisions. It’s Mercury’s alignment with Venus over the weekend that not only puts heart and mind on the same page but the past and future as well, a time when the door is open to both new opportunities and second chances.

Cancer

More and more there is a need and a desire to pull back, for you’re not only now in the wind down period of your current solar year, a time when there is a need to review and look back over the year that has been, but heart and mind are also in need of respite. If life has been hectic, then this gives you a chance to step back, though any thoughts of being able to retreat to your cave and stay there will soon be discarded. With Jupiter now in his final weeks in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking and Mars coming into his own in your communication sector, the need and the call to connect is just too strong and too important to isolate yourself completely. However, you do need time to stop, recharge your batteries and hear yourself think, so set some clear boundaries.

Leo

Already the professional focus that over previous months has been all consuming, is starting to wane, especially after the Sun and Mercury’s departure from your career sector last week. Even Jupiter, here since June 2011, is getting ready to leave and in just 2 weeks from Wednesday you’ll be left with no planetary activity in your career sector, something you haven’t experienced since April 2011. With Pluto staying on in your work sector there is no danger of losing your professional momentum anytime soon, though the focus is shifting more to your income situation, where your fighting spirit is starting to emerge. Where all the energy that was focused on your professional game is shifting to is social, personal and professional networking.

Virgo

The only thing that is stopping your life from becoming professionally dominated is Jupiter, who won’t return to your career sector until 2 weeks from Tuesday. However, with the Sun and Mercury not only spending their first, last and only full week together in your career sector, but moving into the week aligned and Mercury aligning with Venus here over the weekend, this is still going to be a professionally dominated week. But with Jupiter still in an adventurous part of your chart there is a reluctance to fully throw yourself into your professional game, with a chance instead to keep your options open. With Mars igniting your personal passions, chances are you’re looking for a new quest to get excited about or at least an unwillingness to engage in anything that doesn’t excite you.

Libra

Give yourself a week off this week, either literally or metaphorically and embrace a sense of adventure. With things slowing down on the work front ahead of Neptune’s retrograde turn in your work sector next week and Chiron’s the week after and Mercury not returning to your career front until next week, regardless of the conditions in play this week this was always going to be a week for taking your professional hat off as much as possible. However, it just so happens that the Sun and Mercury are spending their first, last and only full week of the year together in your sector of travel, adventure, learning and discovery and that a desire for adventure and richer experiences finally has something concrete to latch onto. Life is too short for simply going through the motions.

Scorpio

After a solar eclipse in your financial sector last week and a lunar eclipse in your income sector next week, regardless of what the stars are up to this week this was always going to be a week where money matters were likely to dominate. This is doubly so with Mercury spending his first, last and only full week in your financial sector, giving you both a smart head for money and a chance to tap into the forces that are opening new doors and those that hold the door open to second chances. Until next Monday’s lunar eclipse the focus is on your financial situation as a whole though. Yet as much as this is a week where money matters may dominate, this is also an important week on the relationship and romantic fronts, with a reminder that there are some things in life that money can’t buy.

Sagittarius

Next Monday’s lunar eclipse in your sign will bring you to a fairly dramatic turning point in your solar year, marking the halfway point where you have a chance to look back at where you’ve been and forward to where you’ve gone. In the lead up to this, in what is an important and busy week on the relationship, work and career fronts, it’s more important than ever that you remain true to yourself. What you will find, especially the closer to next Monday’s lunar eclipse, is that this is being tested and that there are likely to be plenty of situations where standing up for or being true to yourself might mean rocking the boat. Yet this gives you a chance to come up against the very blocks that stopped you from being true to yourself in the past, this time with the support to push through.

Capricorn

It’s hard to imagine a more professionally focused week, except I don’t need to imagine because I know things are set to become even more professionally focused over the coming weeks. You begin the week with the Sun and Mercury aligned in your work sector and over the weekend Mercury will be the first planet to align with Venus since she arrived in early April. This is Mercury’s first, last and only full week in your work sector, with his intellectual savvy the clue that holds everything together. This comes just as the Moon’s last visit to your career sector while Saturn is in retrograde motion for another 30 years sharpens your professional instincts and hindsight. Yet playful Jupiter vibes and Mars’ passion for adventure won’t let you get away with life becoming all work and no play.

Aquarius

Mercury’s return to your work sector next week will open the door to the first planetary activity in either of your professional houses since November 2011. While it will be good to finally find your professional groove and get your professional year up to speed, it’s also important to make the most of one of the last weeks between now and mid 2015 that you can take your professional hat. For once the tide turns there’ll be no going back. Yet it’s where forces are now gathering in a playful, creative and romantic part of your chart that instead of dying down and giving over to busy work forces, will only get stronger over the coming months. The message coming through loud and clear from the stars this week is that finding and maintaining a balance between work and play is a must.

Pisces

Despite the fact that you begin the week with the Moon in your work sector and you have a lunar eclipse in your career sector next week, this is a week where the majority of the focus is on home and family matters and on your relationships. After a solar eclipse in your home and family sector last Monday the Sun is settling into his month long visit with a lot less fanfare than it started with and with lucky Jupiter returning in 2 weeks from Tuesday, this is becoming an increasingly important area of your life. With Mercury, planet of communication spending his first, last and only full week in your home and family sector, communication is essential, not only on the home front but on the relationship front as well, where things are finally catching their second wind.

Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for May 29th

Aries

Until now the love gods have put all their attention onto your relationships and especially when it comes to ensuring that the communication lines are open. But the Moon’s visit to your romantic sector over the last few days is likely to have stirred some discontent on the romantic front, with a sense of rebellion taking root.

Taurus

As the Moon and Mars align in your romantic sector a potent mix of emotion and romantic passion will make it hard to deny how you really feel. If the Moon is doing its job this will evoke your fighting spirit, for as you start to wake up to what you might be missing out on, your inner romantic warrior is likely to respond with a resounding ‘I don’t think so’!

Gemini

At the same time the countdown is on to next week’s lunar eclipse in your relationship sector, with a need to keep things out in the open, there is a growing sense of romantic nostalgia. It’s by letting your romantic desires and your heart dwell on the past, but at the same time keeping your relationships firmly focused on the future, that you’re able to create something special.

Cancer

As the Moon not only makes his monthly visit to your communication sector but aligns with fiery and passionate Mars energy, you’ll find it easier to speak out than it will be to hold your tongue, which is a good thing. Things will get a little bumpier on the relationship front next month, with the more you can clear the air now the better.

Leo

If love, your heart or your romantic resolve was never tested, you’d never know how strong it really was and would live in fear. Your heart is a lot more robust than you realise and in order to find or experience real love then you need to take your defences down. Making yourself vulnerable is scary, but your heart doesn’t need to be wrapped in cottonwool.

Virgo

Don’t over react to any relationship pressure or tension today, for it’s simply the Moon making his monthly visit to your sign and therefore moving into opposition with Neptune and Chiron in your relationship sector. This will happen every 4 weeks and is nothing more nor less than a chance to test the waters and make sure things aren’t being swept under the carpet.

Libra

After an active 3 months on the relationship front ran its course just under 3 weeks ago things have eased back, however they’ll never quite go off the boil. With Uranus, planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected staying behind the love gods have your back, refusing to let things become bogged down again.

Scorpio

Both the Sun and Mercury left your relationship sector last week and with Jupiter himself leaving in 2 weeks time, it’s time to bring things home. The Moon has already made his last visit before this powerful relationship year comes to an end, so you already have all the answers and inside needed to put your relationships on the right path.

Sagittarius

At what is an important time on the relationship front the Moon is putting the focus on your professional game today and rightfully so. The relationship chapter that you’re now in will run through to mid 2013 and conditions will only get better, so you need to learn how to juggle your relationship with the real world. Start with having the right boundaries.

Capricorn

When the Sun and Mercury left your romantic sector they left Jupiter on his own and with the planet of luck and expansion not only the last planet here but due to leave himself in 2 weeks time, holding onto his romantic energy and focus is a must. At what is turning into one of the busiest times of the year, this is going to be easier said than done.

Aquarius

The Sun and Mercury only returned to your romantic sector last week, but it’s already clear that this is no ordinary visit. With last week’s solar eclipse having already opened new doors and Venus holding the door open to second chances, it’s clear that the love gods are on your side, with a need to believe in love and in what’s possible.

Pisces

Just as Mars, planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos is about to move into his final month in your relationship sector he aligns with the Moon today, bringing together a potent cocktail of emotion and passion. While things may get a little fiery on the relationship front, this will also create some real passion and steam.

Your Daily General Horoscopes for May 27th

Aries

The Sun and Mercury align in your communication sector today, the smartest, most intellectually savvy and articulate area of your chart. This creates an opportunity to take your communications to a whole new level, at a time when Venus is also working to give your heart a voice. With some romantic and playful vibes in the air today, this gives you a chance to take time out to connect and also to have some fun with it.

Taurus

Just a day after the Sun’s alignment with forces on the income front and opposition with forces on the financial front came to a head, Mercury reaches the same point today. While this will keep any financial tension high it also gives you the insight and the smart head for money to gain a real sense of where things stand on both fronts. With Jupiter just over 2 weeks away from your income sector it’s time to get serious, for with a lot on offer a lot more is expected from you.

Gemini

Just as you may be experiencing some personal and/or relationship tension, creating the kind of wake up calls you would normally get from a Full Moon, but without the emotional intensity, the Sun and Mercury align in your sign. This allows you to see right through any pressure with your eyes open, your mind sharp and the communication lines open. You’re now able to turn this into an opportunity to gain a whole new level of authenticity, on both the personal and relationship fronts.

Cancer

As the Sun and Mercury align in an intuitive part of your chart, where most of the action is now taking place, this creates a powerful cosmic shift, with Mercury and his intellectual savvy taking the lead. Mercury is due to return to your sign early next month, so this will not only see your mind become sharper today as you gain more mental clarity, but the focus shift more to the future. Spend some time at the drawing board today, with some good ideas being forged.

Leo

Having the Moon in your sign as the Sun and Mercury align in a social and serendipitous part of your chart is a real advantage, giving you a better read on the hunches that have the power to put you in the right place at the right time. There is a real sense of synchronicity in the air today that you’re able to tap into and if life has been too professionally focused of late, then this gives you a chance to make up for lost time.

Virgo

Normally when the Sun makes his annual visit to your career sector, for the month that he’s here and the few weeks either side that Mercury and Venus may also be here, it’s hard to take your professional hat off over the weekend. That is normally okay, but considering that you now have continuous planetary activity through to mid 2013 that’s too long to go without taking time out. Actively work to create the right work/life balance.

Libra

This has been a big week, with lots of planetary shifts and changes and a lot of powerful dynamics in play. With a new sense of adventure in the air but also a reminder of a new professional surge ahead, taking time out over the weekend to embrace a sense of adventure or to catch up with friends is a must. There is something special in the air today, with adventurous as well as social and serendipitous vibes in play.

Scorpio

By this time next month there will be planetary activity in your career sector, for the first time this year and as the Moon makes one of his last visits before then, this gives you a chance to sharpen your professional instincts and look ahead. It may be the weekend but chances are you not only have your professional hat on but your money hat as well, looking for your next challenge on the career and income fronts.

Sagittarius

Having the Moon in an adventurous part of your chart over the weekend gives you a chance to blow off some steam, after what is likely to have been an intense week. You’re moving into some defining professional weeks where you need to be on your toes and that can’t happen if you’re always on the clock, 24/7. If you want to ensure you move into your new working week on top of your game, take time out to embrace a sense of adventure while you can.

Capricorn

It may be the weekend, but with the Moon making one of his last visits to your financial sector before the first planetary activity for the year and the Sun and Mercury aligned in your work sector, chances are you’ll have both your work and your money hats on today. On the money front it’s all about listening to your financial instincts and imagination, while on the work front it’s about having your eyes open and your thinking cap on.

Aquarius

Having the Moon in your relationship sector as the Sun and Mercury not only spend their first weekend in your romantic sector but align, puts the focus on your personal life today. It was just 6 days ago that a solar eclipse opened the door to new beginnings, when it came to matters of the heart and just 11 days since Venus, planet of love opened the door to second chances. It’s your relationships that get to benefit from this today.

Pisces

You have a bit of a conundrum on your hands today, for while your imagination and your intuition is likely to be drawn to matters on the work front, with a sense that you’re nearing a new turning point on the professional front, it’s home and family matters that are likely to dominate. It may be the weekend but chances are you will have your work hat on, even if it’s just to listen to your intuition. Don’t let this be at the expense of home and family matters, which also need your attention and focus.

Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for May 26th

Aries

After so much focus on your relationship and especially on working to ensure that the communication lines are open, it’s the Moon that offers some light relief today and the timing is spot on. It’s the Moon’s return to your romantic sector today that sets the scene for a romantically charged weekend, especially if you listen to and follow your heart.

Taurus

While the second half of 2012 is destined to become more relationship focused, the spirit of romance will never entirely die down, especially if you’re willing to engage your romantic passions now. There is a call for a more fearless approach to love, refusing to hold back out of fear of failure.

Gemini

Don’t be surprised or alarmed by any relationship pressure today, but don’t ignore it either. It’s today that the Sun reaches a point where he’s challenging your relationship intentions and providing some timely reality checks and wake up calls. Refuse to sweat the small stuff or to stick your head in the sand.

Cancer

Because Venus, planet of love has put her return to your sign on hold, not returning until August, this has given you more time to both make peace with old ghosts and to prepare for some major romantic developments in the second half of the year. One of the key areas of preparing is working on your sense of confidence, which is more important than you realise.

Leo

Chances are the pressure and doubts you may have been feeling earlier in the week will return today, a little sharper but also in a way that is more transparent. This gives you a chance to look behind what’s pushing any buttons, creating any doubts or roadblocks and establish why, aware that you can’t change what you can’t see.

Virgo

You’re in the early days of a massive professional resurgence and you have already passed what you would normally expect, with even more on the way. Already you need to be protecting your personal life, doing what you can to address any work/life balance issues and to create the right boundaries and priorities.

Libra

Normally Venus, planet of love will spend just under 4 weeks in an adventurous part of your chart, creating both a desire and an opportunity to move out of a romantic rut. This year Venus is here for 4 months and she’s not taking no for an answer, even opening the door to second chances and an opportunity to make up for lost time.

Scorpio

Over the course of the last 5 days the Sun, Moon and Mercury have all left your relationship sector and the love gods have put all their cards on the table. Even the Moon won’t return to your relationship sector before Jupiter leaves, but with luck still on your side it’s up to you now to invest everything you can into creating something sustainable.

Sagittarius

While you have Venus, planet of love in retrograde motion in your relationship sector and therefore focused on the past and the Sun and Mercury in direct motion and therefore focused on the future, they’re more united than this might seem. For they are in fact all moving towards each other, giving you a sense that something special is coming together.

Capricorn

As the Moon leaves your relationship sector he wouldn’t be doing his job if this didn’t push some buttons, yet over the last few days this has provided the wake up calls needed to ensure you’re not asleep at the wheel. With new doors due to open on the relationship front in just 9 days time, pay attention to all wake up calls, not just those you want to hear.

Aquarius

As the Moon returns for his monthly visit to your relationship sector he’s met by a wall of overwhelming romantic forces, which he has to fit around. While this will shift some of your focus to your relationships the forces now at work on the romantic front are just too strong, giving you a chance to inject more romance into your relationships.

Pisces

As the Moon wraps up his last visit to your romantic sector in just 13 days time, he’ll be leaving you wanting more, which is what will keep you awake and alert. With the most active romantic months of the year less than 2 weeks away you can’t afford to be asleep at the wheel, with a chance also to deal with any work life balance issues.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 22nd

Our optimism may turn a molehill into a mountain today as mischievous Mercury’s hook-up with bombastic Jupiter has us telling tall tales. Although the Mercury-Jupiter conjunction occurs in practical Taurus, three planets in carefree Gemini indicate our desire to fill the day with things to do and people to see. Thankfully, the Gemini Moon activates a trine between sweet Venus and realistic Saturn, reminding us that some things are worth the wait.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may already have taken on too many responsibilities, you’re so confident that you’re ready to put even more on your plate today. Unfortunately, you could spend so much energy just trying to fulfill your obligations that there isn’t much time left over to relax. Don’t wait for the end of the day to wish you had less to complete. Instead, judiciously cut back on your activities by setting healthy limits right from the start.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might think that your strategy is a sound one, but you could unexpectedly discover that you have oversimplified your plan. You feel a bit scattered today, even if you try to concentrate your efforts on what needs to be done. Although you know that pleasure eventually awaits you, finding the time to enjoy it remains tricky. Don’t get discouraged; satisfaction will be yours if you keep your eye on the prize.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Things can quickly get out of hand today with the Moon back in your changeable sign and your key planet Mercury contacting expansive Jupiter. You could easily underestimate what’s required to finish a specific task. Although you might feel overwhelmed for a while, you should be able to pull it all together by the end of the day. Don’t complain, even if you temporarily regret how much you promised. If you just stay focused and work steadily, you could have enough time left over to have some fun.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could lose your momentum by thinking of all the reasons you can’t do something that you really want to do. Reality is testing you to see if you can overcome the obstacles in your path. Fortunately, your inner strength gives you enough clarity of vision now so you can organize many disparate puzzle pieces into a comprehensive picture. Although your friends show up to support your efforts, it’s up to you to accept the assistance that’s offered.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your moods seem to be changing quickly now and it’s difficult to know how you’re going to feel next. One minute you seem to have superpowers and then just a few moments later you’re back to being a mere mortal. Even if you can leap tall thoughts in a single bound, you still need to follow through with sensible action. There’s nothing wrong with having your head in the clouds as long as you can keep your feet on the ground at the same time.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can accomplish a tremendous amount of work now and your productivity is likely to be positively acknowledged by others. However, you may be so enthralled with your big ideas that your excitement becomes your downfall. Unfortunately, you might not even realize if you’ve pushed too far. Don’t assume more responsibilities than you can realistically handle. Take preventative action today before you find yourself over-committed.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can be a case study for the power of positive thought. You’re on a productive high now and might even be able to imagine something right into existence. It’s too bad you can’t bottle this confidence for a rainy day. Unfortunately, the creative juices are fickle and you could get yourself into trouble if you assume that you can sustain such a steady pace. Give yourself a bit of leeway today to wander off track and don’t be afraid to daydream along the way.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You honestly might not think you have time to relax enough to have the fun that is right in front of your nose. You can say that you’re ready to party, but it’s challenging to avoid the responsibilities that you already accepted. Acknowledge the limitations of what you cannot do in the present moment. Then, you will be freer to explore the deeper meaning of life without the burden of having to find the right answer.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might get caught up in a minor power struggle today as you move through the changes that are being demanded of you. But the more you try to hold on to whatever you believe you had, the more difficult this conflict becomes. However, if your commitment to a larger cause is more important than achieving your personal goals, you should be able to gracefully navigate your way through the resistance.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might feel a bit uncomfortable today as you try to get past your self-imposed restrictions in order to take advantage of the exciting opportunities that are being presented to you. The challenges may come to you now in the form of social engagements. However, you could learn something new if you don’t retreat too quickly. Instead, push up against your own insecurities; it’s time to recognize that your fears don’t need to get in the way of the potential in your life.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone might come to you with such a good idea today that it’s hard to resist. You may be feeling so upbeat now that nearly every opportunity looks worthwhile. It doesn’t matter if you’re invited to participate in a business scheme or a private party; it probably sounds better than it actually is. Fortunately, there’s no reason to react negatively; just remain open to modifying your position as more and more of the truth is unveiled.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may mistakenly believe that you can see the whole picture now. Unfortunately, precision of thought doesn’t necessarily come along with the vision. Sure, you can visualize it all, but you could jump to a wrong conclusion or miss an important detail that’s integral to making the right choices. You will probably choose in favor of the new opportunity because it sounds too amazing to say no. Just remember not to over-commit or you might end up regretting your decision.

Your Business & Career Horoscopes for the Week of May 21

Your Business & Career Horoscopes for the Week of May 21

Aries

It’s where you’ve been held back or penned in on the work front that you’re finally able to put your foot down and go for it this week, spurred on by a new sense of urgency on the income front. It was only last week that Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition faced his last hurdle and not due to leave your work sector until the 4th July what has been a marathon is switching back to a sprint again. As you come into the home straight of a journey that began last November, you’re no longer green behind the ears and you have a wealth of experience and professional hindsight to draw on. This allows you to pick your battles wisely at what is a time for putting your head down and your tail up, putting everything you have into everything you do.

Taurus

There is a new level of confidence on the work front this week and it’s coming from the fact that things have shifted to support your hard work and effort and all the drudge work put in, in the past. Saturn, the only planet in either of your professional houses, has been in retrograde motion in your work sector since early February and will remain in retrograde motion until later next month, so nothing has changed as far as he’s concerned. It’s still all about putting your head down and your tail up, putting in the hard work behind the scenes that you need to but more that the conditions have changed. Saturn is no longer under pressure, so the work pressure should have eased right back, but it’s support and confidence on the income front that has changed all the filters.

Gemini

There is a chance to pull back this week. It was just last week that the last in a series of Mars oppositions, that has put direct pressure on your career sector, finally ran its course. Where this created professional pressure and work/life balance pressures specifically, you’ve had a chance to learn a lot and take heed of any wake up calls. But with the pressure gone and both Neptune and Chiron, the planets staying on to keep your professional game on a roll slowing down, ahead of their retrograde turn early next month, there is no longer any urgency. Instead there is a chance to pull back this week and work with the cards already on the table. This is now all about the big picture and it’s that big picture that you have a chance to refer back to now, with a chance to get your bearings.

Cancer

Pay attention to any work pressure early in the week, finding a balance between avoiding sweating the small stuff and not sticking your head in the sand. It’s on Monday, 2 weeks to the day before a lunar eclipse in your work sector is likely to see fate reveal the final wildcard up its sleeve, that the Moon and Sun will align to push some buttons. This comes at the start of the month long wind down to your current solar year, when there is a need to start conserving energy and to pace yourself. This may present as a case of Mondayitis, in which case you need to humour yourself and not push through this, telling yourself to buck up. There is a serious need to slow down and to look at where any expectations are coming from. A slower approach may see you accomplish more in the long run.

Leo

Moving into the new week with the Sun, Mercury, Moon and Jupiter in your career sector would suggest that this is going to be a professionally charged week and while it will remain an important professional week, things ease back dramatically while becoming more urgent at the same time. With the Sun and Moon leaving your career sector on Monday, Mercury on Thursday and none meeting up with lucky Jupiter again here for another 12 years, all your cards are now on the table. It’s the insight, professional instincts and intellectual savvy that the Sun, Moon and Mercury leave you with that allow you to move into what is the end game ready to play your A game. With Jupiter leaving on the 12th June it’s time to bring things home.

Virgo

Venus’ retrograde turn in your career sector last week and her first full week in retrograde motion suggests this should be a fairly quiet professional week, with the focus on the past and on working behind the scenes. While this will play a part in this week’s dynamics this is anything but a behind the scenes week, with your professional game being thrust into the limelight in the early hours of the week. It’s on Monday that the Sun and Moon not only return to your career sector within hours of each other, but align to form a solar eclipse on Monday. This opens the door to new beginnings and opportunities, just as Venus is opening the door to the past and second chances. Mercury’s return to your career sector gives you the intellectual savvy to manage a changing professional landscape.

Libra

You have a chance to rest on your laurels this week. It was only last Thursday that work pressure began to ease off, yet unlike the false starts of the past, this time you really have crossed your final hurdle. Pay attention as your professional instincts kick in, from Thursday or Friday onwards, for what you’ll be picking up on is the Moon’s return to your career sector, for what is his last visit before new doors open in less than 2 weeks time. Once new doors open on the career front, from the 7th June onwards, they’ll remain open for the next 3 months, bringing you to the most important professional months of the year, especially when it comes to looking at where to from here. This makes it important to step back this week, catching your breath before the next wave.

Scorpio

Things have eased back considerably on the work front, to a point where you’re now able to focus more on pacing yourself, keeping what has been put in motion in play. Mercury only left your work sector on the 9th May, so this is still early days and with Uranus staying on to keep things on track, it’s less about the push to bring things up to speed and more about being in the driver’s seat, keeping things on the road. It’s the Moon’s return to your career sector on Saturday, a month to the day before new doors are due to open, that gives you a chance to both sharpen your professional instincts and look ahead. This gives you your first real glimpse of what will be the defining months of your professional year, with a chance to start looking ahead to new mountains and goals to conquer.

Sagittarius

Despite a professionally driven start to the week, expect things to ease back. It was only last week that Mars faced his final hurdle and not due to leave your career sector until the 4th July, his professional passions move into the overdrive this week, ready to make up for lost time. At the same time you begin the week with the Sun, Mercury, Moon and Jupiter in your work sector, completing one of the most formidable line ups you’ve gone into a new working week with all year. Yet while you still have several more weeks to bring things up to speed on the career front, on the work front this is the end game. The Sun and Moon leave your work sector on Monday and Mercury on Thursday and with Jupiter leaving 3 weeks later it’s time to wrap things up and tie up loose ends.

Capricorn

After Venus’ retrograde turn in your work sector last week her first full week in retrograde motion should see things pull right back especially as Saturn, the only other planet in either of your professional houses, is also in retrograde motion in your career sector. While this does open the door to second chances on the work and career fronts, especially as Venus and Saturn are working together, this is destined to be anything but a quiet and behind the scenes week. It all changes dramatically when within hours of each other first the Sun and then the Moon not only return to your work sector on Monday, but align to form a solar eclipse. This opens the door to new beginnings and a game changing month on the work front, while the doors to second chances are also open.

Aquarius

Apart from a Full Moon in your career sector earlier in the month you’ve had no help from the professional gods this year, with no planetary activity in either of your professional houses so far this year. That’s about to change with Mercury returning to your work sector on the 7th June, opening the door to an active 3 months on the work front that will overlap the start of a much bigger phase on the career front, that won’t ease off until 2015. In short, your time on the professional sidelines is about to end, with the Moon’s last visit to your work sector before things kick off giving you a chance to sharpen your instincts, get your bearings and pick up on some valuable clues. Keep your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground, especially between Thursday and Saturday.

Pisces

Look behind any work/life balance pressures, for it’s coming from buttons being pushed as planetary influence kicks in on the home front, inadvertently putting pressure on the very points on the career front that are due to come to a head during a lunar eclipse in just a few weeks time. At the same time this gives you a chance to address any work/life balance issues it also provides some valuable wake up calls, putting you on alert to developments that are likely to come to a head during the lunar eclipse in your career sector on the 4th June. It’s the Moon’s return to your work sector on Saturday, a month to the day before Mercury returns and opens the door to the first planetary activity here for the year that gives you a chance to tap into any clues, hunches and insights ahead of time.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 17th

Earlier this month in the calendar, I reminded you that solar and planetary alignments don’t just disappear in one day. Therefore, several of yesterday’s key aspects are still sending thunderbolts into human territory as well as the kingdoms of nature. For example, Wednesday’s Jupiter-Saturn, Sun-Pluto, Mars-Pluto, Ceres-Neptune, and Mars-Chiron cosmic associations remain white-hot influences in all of our lives, but they are operating more in the background or in the subconscious universe. In the meantime, we now have several other celestial-body interactions – notably Mercury making an inspirational, 72-degree link to Neptune (12:28AM PDT), Mercury uniting with Ceres (1:04AM PDT), Pallas trine to Juno (11:03AM PDT), the Moon beginning a void lunar uncertainty cycle in Aries at 2:45PM PDT that lasts until 3:04AM PDT tomorrow, Jupiter making a caustic, 135-degree tie to underworld-ruling Pluto (4:23PM PDT), and Pallas entering Aries (9:19PM PDT). We have less interplanetary fisticuffs than yesterday, but like Wednesday the King of the Gods – Jupiter – appears to be in another foul mood. First Jupiter was throwing a haymaker at Saturn (yesterday) and now the largest planet in the solar system is casting aspersions in the direction of distant Pluto. Over the next year, Jupiter will wreak some of his playful havoc on earthlings nine more times as he satisfies the urge to reveal his stature as ringleader of the gods and goddesses who used to rule Ancient Roman society. Whether he deserves our prayers, deference, and rituals of incense burning now is a questionable matter. Overall, there is a similar feeling today as it existed yesterday that you are better off being ultra-careful on the investment and career horizons. Playing with cosmic fire can backfire with nasty consequences. The addition of a fairly long void-of-course Moon is the reminder to be seen, but not heard.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 16th

Our willpower is intense and our stamina strong as energetic Mars harmonizes with relentless Pluto today. We need this deep reserve of power now because the impulsive Aries Moon triggers quick reactions, but without the follow-through needed to finish what we start. Nevertheless, we still may grow discouraged when we realize that we won’t reach our goals overnight as confident Jupiter runs into an irritating quincunx with taskmaster Saturn.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon’s current visit to your active sign pushes you through some pretty bumpy territory today, but you’re capable of standing up to whatever challenges come your way. Handling the obstacles in your path requires hard work, yet you probably won’t feel depleted now even if you put out a lot of energy. But your good intentions won’t likely be enough; pace yourself and don’t quit, even if you face a minor setback along the way.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your determination comes in handy today as you try to remedy a complex situation that has created its share of stress. Although you might not be able to put everything back together right away, don’t give up. Steer clear of taking a shortcut; temporary patches and quick fixes are not a smart idea. A little extra persistence will help you find a positive solution to the problem.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You aren’t eager to stand up to a powerful person now and even just thinking about a confrontation makes you anxious. Luckily, the process should go more smoothly once you start a constructive conversation. Don’t freeze under pressure; you can outmaneuver nearly anyone if you remain mentally agile. If you are willing to learn from your opponent today, you will probably end up getting exactly what you need from the interaction.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Someone’s bad behavior doesn’t have to be a showstopper if you nip the problem in the bud. However, your plan could backfire if you try to suppress the expression of fear or anger. The smartest way to respond to this tricky situation now is to engage the other person by showing genuine concern and asking probing questions. Once you understand what’s happening, you can deal with the tension out in the open instead of shadowboxing with a hidden enemy.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Concerns about self-worth and net worth are more intertwined than you might think. Thankfully, you may feel quite optimistic because you’re in touch with the power of your emotions today. This is a good time to close a sale or ask for a raise, since your confidence inspires others. If your current actions are supported by your job performance, you are likely to get the money that you want out of the deal.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are feeling special today, but relationships may be so intense now that life seems a bit overwhelming. You are tempted to go overboard by demonstrating your partnering skills because you want to give a special someone a show that he or she won’t forget. Luckily, the results could be extremely rewarding as long as you don’t lose sight of your purpose. If you put too much effort into appearing unrealistically perfect, others might walk away. Simply being yourself is your best strategy.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Maintaining your concentration is nearly impossible today if your curiosity is aroused. It’s difficult to ignore the information that is coming your way now because you realize its significance. However, you might be so sure of yourself that new facts won’t change your mind. Even if you think that you know what to do, remain open to the possibility of changing your mind.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be in a positive state of mind because your plans are unfolding on schedule now. But something is gnawing away at the edges of your awareness, no matter how upbeat you are feeling. Instead of attempting to ignore your pangs of uncertainty, explore the origins of your current doubts. Expand your thinking to integrate your fears; once you adjust to the new landscape, you should be able to navigate around the shadows of your subconscious without being afraid of the dark.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Expressing your feelings today might heat things up more than you expect, so it’s a good idea to proceed slowly. Unfortunately, suppressing your ideas adds tension to your relationships with co-workers. Although it may be challenging to strike a manageable balance between your optimism and your pessimism now, don’t give up. Do your best to keep communication channels open even if there’s no obvious resolution in sight.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be in a very expressive mood today, but what you’re saying isn’t easy for everyone to hear. Your uncharacteristic emotional intensity can surprise others and set them off balance. Yet, you aren’t interested in lighthearted banter; you want to go deep. Don’t waste your energy getting angry with someone who won’t match your serious attitude. Instead of trying to change anyone; observe your feelings and work to transform them in a positive manner.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may grow restless today, especially if loved ones are being so nice to you that it makes you feel uncomfortable. Other people’s pleasantries might even seem like a sign of weakness. But don’t mistakenly harden your position now just to demonstrate your strength. Practice being strong and yielding at the same time, instead. Staying flexible in thought helps you move through your day with grace and gratitude.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be motivated by a co-worker or partner who seems to have all the answers today. Fortunately, competent peers help you be more productive now, but that isn’t a reason to give up your power to others. Instead look at the role you play in your own success, even if you are just one member on a team. Working with amazing people doesn’t have to rob you of your self-esteem if you’re willing to acknowledge your valuable contribution to the group effort.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 16th

There’s no rest for the weary! Ten important celestial seasonings are about to be sprinkled on all of our lives. Here’s the complete list as the Sun forms a contra-parallel with Pluto (1:35AM PDT), the Moon in Aries unites with Uranus (5:12AM PDT), Mars trines Pluto (9:27AM PDT), Venus makes a 30-degree tie to Jupiter (1:42PM PDT), Vesta makes a similar, 30-degree link to Uranus (2:29PM PDT), Jupiter forms an off-kilter, 150-degree connection to Saturn (3:43PM PDT), the Moon parallels Mars (7:39PM PDT), Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to Pallas (8:28PM PDT), Ceres contacts Neptune via an inspirational, 72-degree link (10:04PM PDT), and Mars opposes Chiron (11:57PM PDT). To some extent, the aspects are almost divided between favorable and challenging. However, Jupiter at loggerheads with Saturn must top the list and this liaison is clearly discordant – particularly on the business and professional fronts. Therefore, attempting to throw your weight around in these areas of life is foolish and illogical. Even though the Moon with Uranus speaks of potential innovation and Ceres in touch with Neptune equates with a possible rising tide of productivity, the two largest planets (Jupiter and Saturn) suggesting the need for a major readjustment is top dog right now. Of course, you can attempt to tweak each difficult alignment – when they occur – and see if you gain some kind of mileage around those time-periods. Nevertheless, the overall mood in the psychic atmosphere is a lot of stress and strain are happening, and if you can play the role of Good Samaritan or cheerleader to shut-ins and the disadvantaged, by all means do so.

Your Money & Finance Horoscopes for the Week of May 14th

Aries

This is arguably one of the most important weeks of the year for income matters, the week where everything comes together. The week begins with the Sun and lucky Jupiter aligned in your income sector and ends with the Sun and Moon aligned here, bringing together a smart head for money, visionary insight and luck. This is the Sun’s last week in your income sector and Mercury’s first, last and only full week here. It’s the Moon’s return to your income sector on Friday that gives you the nose for money needed to bring things home. As the Moon’s last visit before even Jupiter himself leaves next month, this is a week for putting everything on the line and everything you have into getting your income options and opportunities up to speed, getting as many balls in the air as possible.

Taurus

You reach the first of many game changing milestones you’ll reach on the income front over the coming weeks and while it may feel that things are becoming stuck and bogged down and therefore that you might be on the right track, nothing could be further from the truth. Things have slowed down because Venus, planet of money, desire and attraction is turning retrograde in your income sector on Wednesday and needs to come to a standstill first, in order to do a U turn. It’s once Venus turns retrograde that support from Saturn, already in retrograde motion in your work sector locks into place. While this opens the door to second chances on the income and work fronts and will do until later next month, the door to new income opportunities are due to open early next week.

Gemini

You have a chance to work behind the scenes and to consolidate your financial position this week, after the Moon’s visit to your financial sector last week. So far this year the money gods have had their full attention on your financial situation as a whole, giving you a chance to take care of any housekeeping and are now giving you a chance to change anything that isn’t working. With new doors opening on the income front early next month and the Moon making one last visit before then, but not until next week, purposely move forward with your mind and your options open. By Friday you’ll be just 3 weeks away from the most lucrative earnings month of the year, creating a lot more urgency when it comes to taking care of any financial housekeeping first.

Cancer

The Moon only left your financial sector on Saturday, so you’re able to move into the new week with your financial instincts sharp, your finger on the pulse, your ear to the ground and a nose for money. This also gave you a chance to tap back into the financial desires and dreams that you moved into 2012 with, which you’re now able to view more objectively. The key to turning financial desires and dreams into reality is having the bar raised enough so that you have something to aim for, but not so far that pie in the sky thinking puts things out of reach, dooming you to failure. Look back at the hunches and anything your financial instincts and imagination alerted you to over the weekend, turning this into a new sense of resolve as you move into the new week.

Leo

You have become used to intense money weeks, with financial pressures and tensions ebbing and flowing and as the same is likely to happen this week, it’s no wonder there’s a sense of ‘here we go again’. Chances are you’re over this. Yet unlike the past this is your final hurdle and the last patch of financial pressure you’re going to face and it comes with a chance to use this as motivation. For as Mars comes under pressure one last time, just as he’s getting back up to speed on the income front, it’s with support from powerful forces on the career and work fronts and in a week where you’re finally hitting your professional stride. Move into the week trusting your financial instincts, finding a balance between refusing to sweat the small stuff and refusing to stick your head in the sand.

Virgo

The Moon returns to your financial sector on Wednesday, a week to the day since Mercury left, not only leaving you with a smart head for money, but 3 months of at times intense financial forces aimed at getting your financial year off the ground. This gives you a chance to tap back into the financial plans and resolve gained over recent months and to tie up any loose ends. Wednesday is the same day that Venus, planet of money, desire and attraction turns retrograde in your career sector, not only opening the door to second chances on the professional front, but linking with Saturn, who already has the door open to second chances on the income front. This is the week where the tide not only turns on the financial and income fronts, but you become more aware that it has.

Libra

Any week that begins with the Sun and Jupiter aligned in your financial sector has to be a good week for money matters, especially with the Sun spending his last week and Mercury his first, last and only full week. With luck on your side, the Sun’s visionary insight and Mercury’s smart head for money, you’re ready to bring things home. This is the first time that Mercury’s intellectual savvy has teamed up with lucky Jupiter vibes in 12. It’s over the weekend that everything is likely to come together, with the Moon returning to your financial sector on Friday, for the last time before the Sun and Mercury leave next week and Jupiter just a few weeks later. This is a week for taking your power back, trusting that luck is on your side and making some bold calls or plans.

Scorpio

As you move into the new week there is a need to keep an open mind, for what you see is not a fair representation of where things actually stand. With Venus, planet of money, desire and attraction in her final days in direct motion in your financial sector, before turning retrograde on Wednesday, things appear to be slowing down and this may evoke a fear that you’re becoming stuck. Things are slowing down but they’re not becoming stuck and while Venus’ retrograde turn and her 73 days in retrograde motion will open the door to second chances, this won’t be at the expense of forward momentum. It’s a solar eclipse next month that will open the door to some stunning new developments, but until then it’s about slowing down and from Wednesday retracing your steps.

Sagittarius

The Moon only left your income sector late last week and having had a chance to mull over the hunches and insights and to cement the nose for money this left you with you’re able to move into your new week with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground. While Pluto, the only planet active in either of your money houses is in retrograde motion in your income sector, he’s destined to be an important player this week, mainly through association. This is a big week on the professional front, with things coming together on the work front just as Mars is evoking a new kind of rebellion on the career front. New developments on the professional front and where you’re able to finally push through old barriers, clear the way for second chances or to make up for lost time on the income front.

Capricorn

The Moon only left your income sector on Sunday, having spent the weekend sharpening your financial instincts and giving you a nose for money, as well as a chance to tap back into the income intensions, desires and aspirations that you moved into the year with and spent the early months of the week developing. This gave you a chance to refresh your income resolve before moving into the first of many groundbreaking and potentially game changing weeks on the professional front. It’s Venus’ retrograde turn in your work sector on Wednesday that not only opens the door to second chances on the income front, but on the career front as well. Venus will always have an eye on where the money is and with a nose for money this will open the door to second chances on the income front as well.

Aquarius

The Moon’s position in your income sector as you move into the new week, having returned on Sunday, is a bit of a mixed blessing but the benefits far outweigh any negatives. As well as giving you a nose for money and a chance to tap back into the intentions and resolve forged over recent months, the Moon will cross some sensitive ground, with his opposition with Mars pushing some buttons and creating some financial tension. This is just a few days before financial tension is destined to come to a head midweek, giving you a chance to flush things out beforehand. You’re not going to escape getting your buttons pushed this week or financial tension, but as this is the last hurdle you need to cross you’re able to use this as motivation, to come out of your corner fighting.

Pisces

The Moon’s return to your income sector on Wednesday is a case of good timing, even though this may bring some financial tension to a head just before he leaves on Friday. Returning a week to the day since Mercury left your income sector, leaving you with a smart head for money but also bringing to an end any real financial pressures and challenges, this gives you a nose for money and a chance to tie up loose ends and finalise your income objectives for the coming year. Wednesday is also the day that Venus not only turns retrograde, but gives her full support to Saturn and your financial situation. All of a sudden you’re able to look back from a different perspective, while you still have a chance to learn from the past. It’s time to claim your power back.

Your Horoscopes for the Week of May 14th

Aries

The focus is on two key areas of your chart this week and these areas just happen to represent the pending end of one era and the pending start of a new era, with the two starting to overlap. It’s on the income front that an era is coming to an end with Jupiter’s 12 month visit to your income sector coming to an end on the 12th June. As the Sun spends his last week in your income sector, Mercury his first, last and only full week and the Moon making his last visit over the weekend, this is a week for putting all your cards on the table. It’s on the communication front that a new era is also dawning and while next Monday’s solar eclipse will open the door to new beginnings Venus’ retrograde turn on Wednesday will open the door to second chances, especially on the relationship front.

Taurus

The heavens are going all out to make the last week of your birthday month count and to give your new solar year the kind of send off that is destined to make this one of your power weeks. It’s on Monday, a week to the day before the Sun is due to leave your sign that his alignment with Jupiter peaks, giving you the confidence and motivation to make the final days of your solar return count. With Mercury spending his first, last and only full week in your sign and the Moon returning on Friday, giving you an intuitive edge in the final hours of your birthday month you’re able to get things up to speed in a smart and intuitive way. Even though you’ll have to wait for next week for some major new developments on the income front, the door to second chances opens on the income and work fronts.

Gemini

With the Sun due to not only return to your sign next Monday, but the Moon as well, kicking your new solar year off with a solar eclipse, you’re counting down the days to one of your most powerful solar returns ever. With lucky Jupiter returning next month, Mercury next week and Venus already here, chances are you already have a sense that something big is pending. It’s in this final week of your old solar year that you’re able to close old doors and embrace a sense of nostalgia. Even though Venus is already in your sign she’ll turn retrograde on Wednesday, increasing a sense of nostalgia in the air. The irony is that the closer you get to a future that begins next week, the more potent a sense of nostalgia is likely to become. It seems that the path to the future lies through the past.

Cancer

There are two major themes dominating things this week and at first glance they are completely contradictory. On one hand the Sun and Mercury and even the Moon by the weekend, are throwing their full weight and support behind what is a powerful week for networking, connecting and togetherness. On the other hand a desire for seclusion, for alone time and to wallow in a mix of nostalgia and sentimentality is only going to increase, with your daydreams becoming more vivid and alone time more precious. Yet with some smart thinking and clear boundaries you’re able to enjoy the best of both worlds, disappearing into your own world when you want to and becoming fully engaged and plugged in when you need to be. You get to choose how that balance is split.

Leo

This is such a powerful week on the priorities front that it is likely to drown almost everything else out. While there is no doubt that your professional game needs as much of your attention as possible, the all or nothing days of the past are over. You’re starting to realise that it’s not about being on the job 24/7 and blocking everything else out and that it’s more about working smarter, capitalising on the time and resources you do have and seizing the advantages on offer. That will mean that you will have to make some compromises and other areas of your life, especially your relationships and your personal life, won’t get your full attention, but then they don’t need it. Avoid sweating the small stuff or seeing challenges where there are none.

Virgo

There are two main themes this week and while they may appear to be contradictory, if managed well this can work to your advantage. The Moon’s visit to your work sector over the weekend allows you to move into a professionally charged week with your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground, with Venus’ retrograde turn in your career sector on Wednesday opening the door to second chances. Yet this is also the Sun’s last week in and adventurous part of your chart and Mercury’s first, last and only full week and for both their last full week with lucky Jupiter for another 12 years. The Sun and Mercury will return to your career sector next week and with a solar eclipse next Monday things are about to become even more professionally focused. Embrace a sense of adventure while you can.

Libra

As financially charged as this week is, already you’re waking up to the fact that the best things in life are free and that it’s not always all about the money. This allows you to put things into perspective, which will make it even easier to manage what is destined to be a defining week on the financial front. With luck on your side, financial vision and objectivity, a smart head for money and by the weekend a nose for money as well, you have the resources to put your financial game on the right track. Yet as Venus turns retrograde in an adventurous part of your chart and with even more opportunities to throw open the shutters and windows of your world from next week, this brings a real sense that money is simply a means to an end. Simply going through the motions is no longer enough.

Scorpio

While the Moon will return to your work sector on Wednesday, a week to the day since an active and defining 3 months came to an end, it will only be to check on things, to tie up loose ends and to give you an intuitive read on what if anything needs fine tuning. The days of work matters dominating everything else ended last week, with a chance this week to make your relationships a priority. With money matters already featuring strongly, Venus turning retrograde in your financial sector on Wednesday, opening the door to second chances and a solar eclipse next Monday, opening the door to new beginnings, that’s about to increase. This makes it important that you work with all the resources that the love gods are putting into your relationships this week.

Sagittarius

There is a battle being waged for your attention this week, between forces on the professional front and those on the relationship front. If you have to pick favourites it’s on the work front that there is more urgency, though a better call would be to find a balance between the two. You can’t afford to let your focus slip on the work front with the Sun spending not only his last week in your work sector and Mercury his first, last and only full week of the year, but teaming up with lucky Jupiter for the last time for another 12 years. With the Sun leaving your work sector next Monday, Mercury next Wednesday and Jupiter next month and even the Moon returning on Friday, this is a week for putting everything on the line. Yet Venus is also making this an important relationship week.

Capricorn

Since Venus returned to your work sector last month and especially as you realise this is no ordinary visit, you’ve had to find a balance between work and play and that will become both easier and harder this week. With the Sun spending his last week in a playful, romantic and creative part of your chart and Mercury his first, last and only full week and both spending their last full week here with lucky Jupiter for another 12 years, the focus here is on the future and moving on. It’s Venus’ retrograde turn in your work sector on Wednesday that takes her out of actively competing with more playful forces, joining forces with Saturn to focus more on the second chances this opens the door to. You can’t achieve the right balance if you don’t think you really can have it all.

Aquarius

While Venus has been in a creative, romantic and playful part of your chart since early last month, it’s only now that you’re starting to realise that this is anything more than a passing theme. With Venus turning retrograde on Wednesday, opening the door to second chances and a solar eclipse next Monday due to open the door to even more opportunities, following your heart is about to become one of the most important themes in your life, as will all things heart related. Until then you have a chance to bring things up to speed on the home and family front, where you’re likely to find that things you’ve been working on or towards for weeks, months or even over the last year are finally coming together. Make having things running smoothly on the home front your top priority this week.

Pisces

Having the Moon in your sign as you move into the new week ensures that you have your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground, giving you a better read on what might be a tricky week. To start with this may make things better rather than worse, for it will highlight and may even exacerbate any personal and/or relationship tension. Yet this is tension that would have come to a head by mid week anyway, so by speeding this up this will give you a chance to get things out in the open. This is the last time that forces on the personal and relationship fronts will go head to head before Mars leaves your relationship sector in July and as luck should have it, comes on what is one of the best weeks of the year for communication and for a communication breakthrough.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, May 11

Ready, set, go! Inspirations can be flying fast and furiously as Mercury makes a contra-parallel with Neptune (5:04AM PDT) followed by an inspirational, 72-degree connection from the radiant Sun to healer-shaman Chiron (7:15AM PDT). Learn more about esoteric philosophy, meditation, ancient ruins, pyramid power, UFOs and ETs under this double-whammy of far-out stellar associations. Check your subconscious to see if Technicolor dreams have been stored from last night or the recent past. Strange forces may be on the prowl later on since Saturn forms a frictional, 135-degree link to Chiron (1:59PM PDT). Both of these celestial bodies are linked to the concepts of right timing – materially (Saturn) and spiritually (Chiron). If twilight zone or deja vu type experiences seem stronger than usual, don’t be surprised. Meanwhile, Aquarius Moon generates interest in group projects, team sports and community events. Revelations can strike concerning your business and investment plans as Mercury unites with Vesta in finance-oriented Taurus (7:38PM PDT). Start gearing up for a potent weekend that highlights the annual union of the two largest celestial bodies – the Sun and Jupiter – happening this year in Taurus on Sunday. The power of positive thinking, a contagious self-confidence and winning smile can take you far during the next 48-hour cosmic thrill-ride.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 9 – Golden Opportunities Abound

Golden opportunities are springing up all over the place – thanks to a life-enriching Sun-Jupiter parallel (5:39AM PDT). If you are scratching your head trying to remember what a parallel is, then the key is to realize this is an aspect connected to the Celestial Equator rather than the ecliptic or apparent Sun’s path in the zodiac. Right now – from our vantage point on Earth – the Sun and Jupiter are both inhabiting 17+ degrees north of our Celestial Equator and this is called a parallel. It is similar to a zodiacal union and this Sun-Jupiter extravaganza is actually a stalking horse for this coming Sunday’s actual conjunction of these two celestial bodies at 24 degrees of Taurus. Even though having the two largest cosmic entities in our solar system together is offering up enlightening vibes, Mars is forming a parallel to Ceres (9:03AM PDT), the Moon is making its monthly union with distant, willful Pluto (10:35AM PDT) and Mercury is forming an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Juno (7:53PM PDT). These three sky patterns are more on the discordant end of the universal spectrum. Throwing your weight around or performing arm-twisting maneuvers on reluctant friends and loved ones may not lead to positive results. Nevertheless, the nurturing presence and gravitas of the Sun converging with Jupiter today – backed up by the Moon in Capricorn in a flowing trine to productivity-enhancer Ceres in Taurus (3:15PM PDT) – can keep you out of trouble and on track to reach important milestones on your exalted professional trajectory.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, May 8th

This is a good point in the calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments don’t just disappear off the astro-psychic radar screen a day after they occur. Therefore, last night’s Jupiter-Uranus and Mars-Uranus high jinx remain a threat to everyone’s decorum and well-being today. Their potentially mischievous vibrations are somewhat diminished, but still reverberating a little below the threshold of consciousness. Fortunately, we don’t have giant-sized replacements to take their place until tomorrow when four fairly major alignments reach exactitude. For the most part, you can indulge in favorite arts, crafts, hobbies and pastimes during much of today under fiery and enthusiastic Sagittarius Moon. Communication channels are reasonably clear in the hours building up to the Moon making a flowing trine of 120-degrees to Mercury (6:35PM PDT). Once this exactly occurs, the lunar orb is void, but only for 26 minutes until 7:01PM PDT when the Moon enters industrious, hardworking Capricorn. This is a signal to be more focused on fulfilling career ambitions and energizing professional plans during the next two days. Assisting your efforts in this regard is Mercury entering earthy, persistent Taurus (10:16PM PDT) until May 24. If you are feeling a strange sense of buoyancy and even euphoria overnight, chalk it up to the approach of the mind-expanding Sun parallel Jupiter (forming precisely at 5:39AM PDT tomorrow morning).

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, May 4

Because we are still in the glowing aura of tomorrow night’s impending Full Moon, all of today is considered a preparatory time-period in which you can gear up for the enlightening vibrations due to arrive on Saturday evening. Think more about your higher destiny of service to humanity and the kingdoms of nature rather than fulfilling your own personal needs. Pointing in this idealistic direction are an early-morning Moon-Neptune parallel (2:00AM PDT), the Moon trine Venus in air signs (6:17AM PDT) as well as a healing-boost coming from Jupiter making an inspirational, 72-degree link to Chiron (7:30AM PDT). Thus, the first part of this day is superb for opening the gates of higher knowledge and wisdom across the board. As the Moon makes its monthly union with Saturn in Libra (11:03AM PDT) – focusing renewed attention on rising to the top of the totem pole in your professional life – this lunar conjunction with taskmaster Saturn also begins a fairly lengthy void twilight zone that lasts until 7:21PM PDT. During this 8+ hour uncertainty time-span come to grips with recent changes on the relationship front and remain receptive to hearing what your intuition knows is true since the Sun is also in league with Neptune via an inspirational, 72-degree rapport (4:43PM PDT). Nonetheless, it is wise and sensible to finish odds and ends during any void lunar cycle. Once the Moon dives into the intense rapids of Scorpio (7:21PM PDT), see whether your Agatha Christie or Perry Mason disguise still fits you. Being a top-notch, amateur detective and investigator fills the bill when the lunar orb transits the usually secretive and mysterious eighth sign of the zodiac. Keep a notebook by your bed overnight to record nocturnal soul-wanderings and visions of the great beyond as the Moon trines Neptune in water signs (11:56PM PDT).

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, May 2

Your inner scholar is ready to shine and get straight A’s in a field of study close to your heart – thanks to a harmonious trine in earth signs from the Moon in Virgo to expansive Jupiter in Taurus (3:22AM PDT). While you are excelling on the higher educational track, the Moon jumps ship and begins a more abrasive square pattern to Venus (3:59AM PDT) – a frictional tie that also starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 7:05PM PDT when the Moon enters airy Libra. If you are a newcomer to reading this calendar, please realize that void lunar cycles are opportunities to finish old business on a high note. However, you don’t want to initiate bold, new ventures because they could fizzle out or not evolve into the successful achievements you are envisioning. Once the Moon is happily moving into Libran territory (7:05PM PDT), the best game plan is to improve the quality of your primary partnerships while also exploring various artistic media that can develop into favorite hobbies. On Tuesday, the Moon activated a potentially revelatory grand triangle with Ceres and Pluto. Now we have Ceres and Pluto actually making their own, official trine of 120-degrees in earth signs (11:28PM PDT). Be as productive as possible in your main fields of expertise as Wednesday morphs into Thursday.
