ZEN OF KNOWING - Seeing Astrology

The low level of psychic development and the high level of denial of the invisible world inherent in the people around me was something I could not figure out nor understand. Even worse: No one would listen to me when I talked about the things I was learning and seeing ahead. I was working on the assumption that if I pointed out my invisible friends and their existence that people would look and see. After all! How could they miss it?

I am sure you can imagine how hard it was for a young one, and later a young adult to be aggressed by the family and later "friends", teachers, colleagues, society as a whole. The worst part of it was that the things the invisible world told me all turned out to be true. Each teaching, each warning became an obvious and undeniable fact as daily life progressed.

Knowing then becomes its own right action.

So would people listen then? The ultimate denial of the truth is the accusation: "You brought it about. You made it happen." As though the very act of warning people to change their ways in order to avoid the inevitable consequences of their actions was in itself an act of malicious intent.

So what is this deeply rooted denial? This worldwide amnesia? The moving away from openly visible truths, consequences and actions?

The fact is we humans have come from the stars. Whichever way you want to argue it the absolute undeniable fact is that we have come from the stars, because where else in Cosmos have we come from? The star seeds came to earth either physically or as soul travelling through time, or both. Which way do you want your coffee? Black or with milk? Either way it is coffee.

Before we go into understanding this deeper mechanism of denial. The very mechanism that a small number of us have deleted from the hard drive of our DNA. It is important to establish an inner form of Zen. The invisible world call this the Zen of Knowing, and it is their gift to you.

The fact is that for whatever reason you see what you see and you know what you know. The restrictions and the denial do not have dominance over your brain. Something in you cancels out the world wide amnesia and the cultural denial. You can see! That is the point from which we start, and from no other point.

The invisible world did not teach me how to deal with other peoples denial. They taught me to deal with my own state of mind, with my own state of seeing.

Once you have mastered that reality the other falls into place.

Simple but powerful, the teachings of the invisible world show how the inner world, the inner garden is the Key to existence, the Key to knowing and the Key to peace. As a first step on the Way, you - the individual - learn to be sovereign, to be answerable to no one. You learn to retain a peaceful inner knowing, an inner certainty about the things you see and the multiple reality you are aware of. Knowing that strangeness co-exists with strangeness, and that we are as strange to other worlds as they are to us.

The Zen of Knowing is your own inner garden, your own inner landscape. A fascinating, rich and varied world that you inhabit. You are the gardener of your own inner landscape, you are its creator and its inhabitant.

In the process of looking within for answers, solutions to the outer world, you may discover a wise Zen monk. If he or she says something others do not want to hear, things that upset people along the Way, then listen to his or her response: "Please forgive me, I did not mean to offend you. Of course you are right!"

This is the first of many lessons to be posted - in a special and new section - dealing with a journey into the invisible world and ones own direct work with the beings I call "The Guidance"...

Grand Cross - 2005

The current outlook as back drop to the nations' charts:

Aries Mercury has now reached the opposition to Jupiter and communications might be exaggerated for a day or two, and then Mercury starts to move into a newer territory after its retro loop. We still want to realize new concepts quickly and be fast in our communications.

From June to December 2003 Mars was last in Pisces. In a few days Mars enters again into Pisces, and will pass Uranus at 11 degrees on May 15th. That moment might define what will follow later. It is hard to predict what the moment itself can hold in store for the world. It will be a revealing and surprising time, only few weeks away. Then a time of shapeshifting begins. It could well be that after 2006 we will not recognize the reality we are in now.

The climate we had in the 2nd half of 2003 - an almost motionless or still phase - will be played out again soon in May 2005. The action will not be very visible, rather mystical, in some cases even misguided because Mars is really not "at home" in Pisces. It is a good phase though for inner growth and metaphysical pursuits, hence this memo, and the fast pace of the last weeks will resume for a brief phasing when Mars moves into its own sign Aries by June 12th and until July 28th. Mark mid June to end of July for a month of important new actions!

Mars is the tracking point to see actions begin, unfold, and end. The cycle that began by the end of 2003 ends on June 11th. Alignments while Mars is in Pisces are favorable this time, but generally Mars in Pisces is the moment when actions ought to be completed. After June 12th the climate changes. Jupiter will resume direct motion in Libra and Saturn (more of that one below!) moves into Leo shortly therafter, after the tedious two years of Cancer Saturn, this might be a very welcome change...

By October 26th Jupiter enters Scorpio and Mars will find itself in a long half year retro and forward phase in Taurus, in opposition to Jupiter, which means the tensions and exaggerations will begin by mid October to mid December. Saturn will move into Leo on July 16th, so that the following picture emerges by year end of 2005, with a grand square or grand cross in the four fixed energy signs, Taurus (Mars), Leo (Saturn), Scorpio (Jupiter), and Aquarius (Neptune).

A square in these signs made by these four planets means we will be in a way at a standstill and the strategy of tensions might become visible, which will show evidently in world affairs. The year thereafter is all about conflict management. I would estimate that by mid to end October this year, things will turn serious. The square alone between Jupiter and Saturn is to be read by experience as a downturn in economy, or at least a reality check point of what resources and the sharing of them are all about.

The square Saturn to Mars - in effect from mid November 2005 to mid January 2006 - makes it difficult to get actions to grip at all. A lot of negotiations will take place and Mars is quasi held in check by Saturn. Acceleration will not really take place during this phase. Many activities will center around the issues of safety, and maybe only very conventional or traditional approaches will yield immediate results. We can say that lines will be drawn and positions will be taken.

The opposition Saturn to Neptune brings over time (a year at least) a new reality and the understanding of different quantum realities. There can be a merging of realties or of dimensions during this phase taking place. While we will have had a comparatively easy ride with Jupiter in Libra, as of end of October the psychological atmosphere will gradually transform into a climate of potential toughness, probably due to fears of the unknown.

Neptune rules and deals with that which we can summarize as the surreal, visionary, illusionary and the ephemeral, or unreal whereas Saturn is interested in what is 'real', or cold hard measurable reality than can be grasped and quantified. Saturn is also separation whereas Neptune is merger. On the other hand Neptune dissolves and Saturns limits. SO... When Saturn moves into a hard or challenging open aspect with another outer planet, then it tends to bring out into the open the negative side of that planet and the sign the planet is in. We saw this in 2001-2003 with the Saturn Pluto opposition.

Neptune holds sway also over issues such as precognitions, psychism, mind control, movie industry, photography, high art, oil industries, water, oceans, leaks, floods, delusions, illusions, dreams, denials, and so many more things hard to pinpoint really. Whereas Saturn, as we know, is lord of the tangible reality check point, order, law, structure, governments, architecture, space and time, and then somewhere in quantum physics it joins Neptune's shamanism. It is this where limitation meets that which has no boundary.

When Saturn will be in Leo, measuring gold, and checking into what authority and regality are about, it will oppose Neptune for a long time. This will coincide - I bet now - with a time of maximum delusion and of mass psychotic denials, which can mean that cracking down on drugs could be one thing that will be prevalent then, but other memes do come to mind, such as tidal waves and droughts.

So in that respect the worst and the best have yet to come. Saturn makes no long standing hard aspect until then to any other OUTER planet. To me this means that by mid 2006 the mirage of everything will be high-lighted, or over, as the case may be, economy for one, but many other illusions we held dear will by then be inspected. This is why I feel the economy downturn will become clearly palpable by mid 2006.

On the other hand, Saturn in Leo opposing Neptune in Aquarius in late 2005, all of 2006 and 2007 will also determine who is leader and who is 'people', and that too will not be very clear to determine with Neptune in group orientated Aquarius. Individualism and globalism are key words of a Leo-Saturn to Aquarius-Neptune aspect. We would have to go back 250-300 years to find a corresponding aspect.

This could also be a time when the internet will become highly regulated and we want to think ahead about what we want to do about it. Visions of movies that fit the theme of Neptune opposing Saturn are Spielberg's 'Artificial Intelligence' & 'Minority Report', Philip K. Dick's 'Blade Runner', and a few others that could come to mind. Science fiction will be checked for facts. Alien stories by then will have to be in the measurable realm.

What happens also with Neptune in opposition to Saturn is that the things we want to measure and check become unmeasurable and dissolve, or the visible becomes invisible, and vice-versa, so I am not yet sure exactly how we will see this thought manifest, but Saturn in Leo will have a hard time to establish authority, if anything I feel authorities of any kind will be constantly undermined and dissolved by Neptune. It will be a time rife with false beginnings and endless endings. There is faith for the group to come together and to evict the tyrants by mid 2007, but I would not bet on it.

In politology we can point to some stand off between India (Aquarius) and Pakistan (Leo), and we will see the gold price probably go off the charts, but that too is not yet a sure thing, in fact with Neptune opposite Saturn nothing will ever be very certain, and in the end it may well be that we will move from illusion to reality and back again, in a shamanic process of diluting the seeming boundaries. It could be the end of Hegelian dialectics and the beginning of untested understanding coming from direct knowledge.

Trust is a big issue in this opposition that is in effect for a year. What will make that transit really interesting is that Jupiter will anchor a T-Square in Scorpio (which rules trust issues) to both the opposite players, for a moment, and Jupiter then tends to magnify the issues, and my feeling is it will do this subtly, thoroughly and terminally, from within the Scorpio part of the heavens.

The square Mars to Neptune involves maybe misunderstood action or underhanded and hidden action. It is a tough alignment in and by itself. A change of reality is indicated with this one aspect alone, but we must see the grand square in full context.

The square Jupiter to Neptune will mirror a probing quality and an understanding of things esoteric, spiritual, or transcendental. It will be a 'difficult' time in the sense that the shadow sides activate and we will have to be on an alert awake level of comprehension in what will come our way. Many developments will remain hidden for a long year, well into fall of 2006.

What we will experience will remain at a subtle level. The only grounded element will be Mars in Taurus, which prompts us to look into earth elements projects, building with the earth, or exploring what we can do together with what the land has to offer. It is only in February 2006 that Mars will move on into Gemini and then finally the pace will quicken dramatically, and ideas will travel very fast.

Until then things can get somewhat stuck or steady for a while and also, basically as of August this year and until February of next year, we are in a phase where we have to make do with a tenacious climate and we must find new ways of operating in newly discovered realities for many months to come. When you don't know what to do, do nothing - is an old rule...

What to do is the question? Well, now the other rule of thumb is in astrology that "Under Trine You May Act, BUT Under Square You MUST Act!" Yes, despite the tenacity of this long standing aspect, things must get to be moved... and one way or another we want to manifest something of value. Good luck with it and we will see closer to the time what this can imply when we see what has transpired by then.

“Countering Counter Forces”

Introduction: 2005-2006

The alignments and ingresses discussed in this presentation form the main aspects for now in 2005 and some of them last even well into 2006 and beyond, so that I see them as paramount during the coming 12-18 months, as I want to give you all a mundane-spiritual astrological fine outlook with good advice that reaches as far in time as possible. Today, even with our odd Mercury in the Galactic Center spinning, I feel we begin a better phase finally, and I hope this reflects also in your life.

A favorable change is on its way, I can smell it coming, and the discussion that follows is very valid during many months ahead into 2005, and some of it remains accurate even into 2006 / 2007, so study this carefully:

At this time we wish to make positive changes in our life that will lead to greater knowledge and experience. While the energy of this influence is not usually disruptive, it does make some of us really extremely impatient with the routine limitations under which we normally live. You will probably try to make changes in your immediate environment in order to deal with this impatience.

It is also quite possible that the changes will occur more or less spontaneously, with little effort on your part. All that is needed now is to write down a precise list of what we wish to see manifested within a few months, by spring of 2005.

This influence can be mentally very exciting. We are attracted to new ideas that are challenging us all in a positive way. Not only are we more receptive to them now, but we can grasp them more easily than usual. Often under this influence we are able to solve difficult problems in your life because we can approach them from a fresh perspective. Some of us may develop an interest in science or other technical disciplines as we discover how we are a part of Cosmos.

Social reform is another area that we might be attracted to as Uranus performs its hugely inspiring act on the world now, feeling that the old solutions are not adequate, we know the solutions will not come from the minds that created the 'situation' we are in.

Also, sudden opportunities may arise, such as a sudden financial gain or a sudden job promotion that will allow some of us to do much more than we have done before. This influence may also tempt some of us to take risky chances with finances by speculating or gambling, and this is something we have to look into cautiously after Mercury is direct in January 2005.

In a larger sense, it is difficult to say precisely what we can expect during this time because the nature of this influence is so unpredictable. But we can anticipate some occurrences that will materially and favorably alter our plans for the immediate future, and we can look forward to implementing positive change. The immediate future is - regardless of wars and earth changes - likely to have many more possibilities than are apparent now.

Mid March 2005 until mid February 2006 is what I deem the undercurrent that is also the overall signature of all of 2005, which creates an extremely significant influence in many ways for all our lives. It represents a time when we will achieve new kinds of self-expression and become more free really than we have ever been.

This is one of the most revolutionary periods in our life. Now, use it wisely and powerfully. At its most productive, this influence can clear away limitations that have made our life less meaningful and fruitful, whether they have been imposed by ourselves or by others. Life can and will now be more real. But at its worst, this influence can signify a time of wild instability and chaos, when events seem to happen unpredictably and disruptively.

Whatever you feel about change in life, now you will be forced to break up old patterns and embark on a new course. Whether you complete this process depends largely upon whether your life has degenerated into a dull and safe routine. It also depends upon how much energy you put into resisting changes.

We will be attracted to anything new and exciting, as well as new techniques in our work and in personal development. You may become more interested in science and technology. Younger persons will experience this as a time of rebellion, particularly against authorities, such as parents, officials and employers. You will not be very patient with restrictions at this time.

However, this influence does not have to be uprooting and destructive. It is a call for us to examine our life and see what changes must be made to keep you from becoming too rigid. You may simply make tremendous changes in many aspects of your life so that you feel more free and more completely yourself.

That is what the Mars Uranus meeting mid May 2005 is about, to hand down enlightenment to Pisces merging masses via Uranus the internet frequency of who tunes into the message via law of attraction to the new. Jupiter-Uranus and Neptune are making serendipitous alignments that urge us now to break out of the self-imposed prisons of experience.

There are undercurrents that counter this, kind of like a counter force inside the stream. The Counter forces are like vortices inside the main vortex, and eventually they flush out that which has to move on. This is a time of challenge and crisis; there is no way we can deny this.

Now quite often this crisis type climate manifests with 'situations' and 'circumstances' seemingly (but only seemingly) outside of our 'control' sphere, or the change within the crisis occurs in the form of persons who are working at cross-purposes to our own efforts. These people as you can imagine have their own Karma and situations of their own to deal with, and maybe they project their own shortcomings into your, my, our picture.

They may or may not oppose us or what we do intentionally, but the thrust of their actions forces us to prove that what we are doing is worthwhile and correct. End result as rude and Uranian as it sounds is we must clear them out. Diplomacy with Libra Jupiter takes on then a very creative form of conflict management, or living with the crisis so to speak.

We may be upset or somewhat angry at these people, feeling that they are motivated by nothing but malice. In fact their motives are the same as yours, which you must learn to understand. Challenges may also occur in connection with your efforts to build something up, to create a material structure or to get a project going.

Or the transformations may occur as a test of some new aspect of our more developed and stable personality that has recently come into being. This could be the ongoing DNA mutation that many are not aware of yet. Remember people are mere energy strings, and you can shield yourself from being pulled into the nefarious energies.

From now and until beginning of August 2005, when Saturn settles into Leo, is a time we want to enact the positive and long lasting changes in our life that will lead to greater fulfilment, to more precise knowledge and to valuable life experience. We become now our own teachers and students all in one. Saturn in Leo will be grand, I have no doubt, and we must rise to this occasion. Saturn was in Leo in 1975/76, and so that is where we are at now sort of, but with enhanced energy.

While the energy of this combined planetary influence - Jupiter trine Uranus and later then Saturn opposite Neptune - is not usually disruptive, it does make all of us at some level very edgy and a bit impatient with the routine tasks we have to perform, and we start to almost hate the worldly limitations under which we exist now. But as we know this will soon change.

We probably must implement immediate changes in our own close environment, working from within, in order to deal with this upsurge of 'let's get it done' type of impatience. It is also probable that the transformations occur in NOESIS type synchronicity, or more or less spontaneously, with little effort on our part. But we have to remain alert and awake to catch the changes forming, more alert than ever before. We need radar like awareness now to move on with inspired ideas, disciplined people in our teams, and with power emanating from within.

Discussing 2005/07

Earth 2005-2007

There are many oppositions and squares applying in the 1776 USA chart, in Bush's chart, and they will mirror soon -- over a phase lasting two years -- the transformation of what the USA is now into what it will become after 2007.

Pluto is now about in opposition to the natal versatile US Mars in Gemini. This opposition leads to enhanced potential of belligerence, either emanating from the USA to other countries, or from other countries to the USA. This maximum openness aspect brings a certain amount of hidden and open conflicts. It means also the USA has TWO enemies, one inside, and one outside. I think the summary is that by end of 2007 the USA is rife for internal transformation.

The square aspect also shows potential conflict, or imbalance, rough challenges, and with it the human innate resistance to change, or suprising changes when two planets square off in a 90 degree angle. Of interest here is the progressing position of Uranus, now in the 11th degree of Pisces already. It is typically liberating, bringing new impulses, and it can mirror a revolution or rebellious behavior from people, as can Pluto, so we look at both Pluto and Uranus. It is demanding when it makes aspects in a natal chart, and it acts in an uncompromising and unsettling manner, can take on many possible manifestations, and so this one transit alone is always very telling and full of occurrences. It is said that wherever Uranus transits your chart it will cause 'havoc' in that sector.

Uranus was last in Pisces between spring 1919 and spring 1927, squaring the USA position in April and August of 1921 and February of 1922. Historians know what these years were about. This was the era inbetween the two wars, the time of the prohibition, in which the impact of Uranus mirrors a radical response to the nation's imagined or perceived alcohol problem. The Twenties were also characterized by the bootleggers who supplied alcohol illegally. So maybe now someone will supply you with legal Hemp instead.

Another cultural influence at the time was a revival of secret societies' (KKK) victimization of certain parts of humanity. It was also accompanied by the manifestation of Communism in the USA (Uranus), which was then considered subversive (Pisces), and it became for an insidious element in America in the 1920s. In a way this 'ism' is rearing its head again, in a new form though, today aka NWO.

Now we have this signature again, in addition to the above mentioned Pluto opposing USA Mars assertion. Transit Pluto also squares USA Neptune, a further hint towards a subtle dilution of identity and a dissolving of what the USA has to offer in Virgo in terms of illusions and dreams both. The American Dream with Pluto in square has to be reinvented. And we have now also Mars moving this month into the square, triggering the potential influence of Uranus, so now is the time to talk about it.

America in 2005 is embroiled in the predicted aftermath of its invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Whoever timed these movements must have had an eye on both military and astrological consequences in timing, as this aftermath will last well into 2007. The attack into Iraq happened on the 2003 March Aries ingress. The Pisces ingress of Uranus had just only started then and the position in Pisces suggests that the attack, which defied the wishes of other countries, may have been an error of judgment, or, as the case may be, a purposeful blunder. Mars is now today May 3rd 2005 on that point, and US fighter jets have been lost today, as if Mars was there to remind us of the March 2003 position.

Last time Mars was in Pisces (June-December 2003) was when the US started to incur massive casualties in Iraq.

When Uranus will move very close to the square, later in 2005 and early in 2006, the attacks on both sides will escalate, and the oil wells will no longer be safe. It is interesting also to see that G W Bush's natal Virgo Mars line leads through Iraq and that Uranus will be in its return to its position in the horoscope set for the inauguration of Iraq in August of 1921. As if by February 2006 a new old Iraq might be resurrected from the ashes perhaps. Think Aramea and the fertile Crescent.

The alien and hidden government (Neptune in Virgo of 1776 USA) wants the world to believe that its strategy in Iraq is aimed at securing democracy (Uranus) and liberating the people locally, the Pisces underdogs so to speak, but the soon applying pressures associated with the Uranus square will show a more realistic agenda.

No one says much, but the casualties in Iraq are extremely high. Suicide bomber attacks (who is really behind them?) tend to affect also the innocent Iraqis and extend the American occupation of Iraq to an indefinite stage as those who lured the US troops in there knew perfectly well.

This then also threatens (Pluto) the lives of American soldiers, in the first house of the US chart. We must be advised to expect this danger to increase to include the US economy as a virtual home land, when transit Neptune (now at 18 Aquarius, and ruler of Pisces, will approach its conjunction to the US Moon, which is the eccentric electronic ruler of its Cancer Sun. It is complex but simple. By 2007 December USA will have to change course for sure.

And a smaller but equally volatile factor that could well affect the impact of the coming Uranus square is that transiting Uranus will also be now in full opposition to the natal Mars in Virgo in the birth chart of George W. Bush. This can mean he himself will be fed up with it all, wanting to see himself freed up, and it can also mean plummeting polls for him, but he doesn't have to run a 3rd time... nevertheless it will prove testy on his nervous system and on his feet.

The insightful Uranus Mars connections (by transit conjunct on May 15th) are really very unpredictable and so it is not possible for me to say what will happen, other than to state we are now entering this phase and by October 19th this year we are in a pronounced and edgy situation in terms of transiting planets both on USA 1776, GWB 1946, and Irak 1921 birth positions. This will show in the minds of the leaders, on the ground in the countries at war, and in the stock exchanges around the world.

Many, both Americans and Europeans, have asked me what it means for them, and how long I give the situation. They still hope it will just go away, because it is 'bad for business'. I would say that Europe will be taken apart a little later, but by 2011, in similar manner as the USA is now being taken apart until the end of 2007. Therefor the advice to - and the activity of - those who seek a safe or even prosperous future independent of these trends has to be to identify safe places and begin micro-economies that can last and flourish even after the dismantling of the current paradigm has taken place.

France vs EU 2007

De Villepin - Focus

Quo Vadis? Quoi faire en 2006... la grande croix de quatre positions en energies fixissimes, avec une opposition Neptune en Verseau enrichissant Saturne en Lion - de Villepin un quadruple Scorpion, lune en Verseau. La crise sera une opportunité. Notons bien que la grande croix Lion Verseau Scorpion Taureau sera bien en place après les cent jours de Villepin I. Jupiter en Scorpion 2006 - de Villepin II: Faire attention - approche du thème Saturne - Neptune 2006/7:

Cette influence représente une période d'incertitude probable. Nos objectifs ne sont pas toujours bien clairs et on peut se sentir incapable de nous occuper des détails ordinaires de la vie quotidienne. Un des meilleurs moyens de faire face à cette influence est de rendre votre vie de tous les jours aussi simple que possible, parce que vous vous laissez facilement être submergé à cette période. Ce n'est pas une période de confiance à tous crins. Vous remettez en question presque tous les aspects de votre vie, en particulier vos objectifs et vos ambitions, votre capacité à les atteindre et vous vous demandez même si vous êtes digne d'y arriver.

Parallèlement, vous risquez de sentir que votre univers est construit de telle manière que vous ne pourrez jamais vivre selon votre idéal. Déception et pessimisme sont des effets probables de cette influence. Le danger de cet état d'esprit négatif peut réellement miner votre efficacité au travail ou dans d'autres activités importantes. Se sentir insécurisé amène souvent les circonstances qui justifient vos craintes. Ne prenez pas les choses tellement au sérieux! Votre état d'esprit négatif n'est probablement pas justifié par les événements. Ce n'est qu'un de ces moments où vous manquez d'optimisme.

.Jupiter Mars Neptune Saturne 2005-2006 est la croisée des cheminements. "Truth is a pathless Land". Rendez-vous dans la onzième dimension. La spiritualité des chefs Celtes, consiste en un peu plus que de citer des passages Krishnamurti avec une astrologie de pointe, nous tenons un cap pour le après 2012, le au-dela de "2001" par Kubrick. Neptune Saturne est cosmique, et rare en plus.

Vous devriez essayer de "tenir le coup" sans prendre de décision, ni vous engager de façon permanente en vous basant sur vos points de vue pessimistes actuels. Bientôt, vous comprendrez que juste en ce moment votre regard sur la réalité est en train de changer d'une manière qui, en fin de compte devrait être très constructive, bien que cela ne semble pas être le cas maintenant. Dans environ deux ans, vous serez capable de faire des changements constructifs dans votre vie basés sur une compréhension nouvelle. Ce n'est pas encore le moment de les faire.

Compréhension nouvelle veut dire quoi? Ceci est bien au-dela des hommes politiciens, car la transition 2005-2007-2012 est une histoire shamanique du genre "Icons of Destiny" par Michael St.Clair -

Monthly Outlook For May

- Decan By Decan -

ARIES

Love and appreciation boom again in May, as of 11th May for 1st and 3rd decan, and as of 19th May for the 2nd decan of Aries. You will have a good time in particular with people of the Gemini, Leo, Sag and Libra signs. Financially all is good until mid May when Mars and Uranus do the big meeting. After that time you must respect the budget you ought to put in place in January already. Health is being tasked again, and exertion will leave its marks - but by 20th May the going gets better again. Professionally it is not a good time to push now, this is now a time to take care of unfinished business and close the loose ends. Watch what you say and work on what is at hand or in your face now.

TAURUS

Until May 10th Venus sweetens your life a lot, and things are just dandy, plus the sun in your sign, so it is match ball time for you now. Love and life are what you are all about, and now is that moment where you want to throw star dust energy of Venus and Sun all around you and excel at making friends. Now you can also begin investing and risking things because the going is good for you in business, barter, and beautiful crafts. Real estate transactions would benefit you now very much. Selling is good, transforming into gold even better. Health is grand as you are nearing your yearly top form now. As of 21st May you can take it easy. Your career will be getting a great booster now too, new projects can be successfully started now, and your concentration levels are high so as to see the long haul of this good phase ahead. Take a short break!

GEMINI

Until May 12th all financial matters should be wrapped up and dealt with. Relations with Libra, Aquarius, and Aries are excellent. 1st decan has an enhanced energy reserve after 21st May, a great time relating to others from 11th-18th May, but has to be careful in work place and job matters from 2nd-14th May when arguments could flare up. 2nd decan enjoys good financial prospects until 12th May, a beautiful phase of feeling appreciated and coming across as understood from 19th-27th May, but will encounter difficulties at work from 15th-28th May. 3rd decan has a fine month of May in all aspects of life, and you should try to mend fences with those born in Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces, as they might be more ready to build a bridge of understanding with you now, as long as you will do what you say. As of May 21st the sun comes to assist the 1st decan in great aspects to Jupiter and Neptune, forming a splendid intellectual grand trine in all the three air signs, and so, things move real fast now.

Cancer

Enjoying life is on the agenda until late in May, as the first three weeks give you much reason to enjoy family, home, work, and even good dealings in financial affairs. You have reason to rejoice and to be very happy as things move along pleasantly. Schedule meetings with friends and family for this time, and do something with the renewed vitality that has come to you. Money matters and resources are looking very positive from 12-28 May. Recognition and appreciation for jobs well done is due now and you will be praised for the work you did. Use this moment wisely to negotiate better terms for your future, get a raise or a promotion now, as this is within your reach.

Leo

1st decan has a beautiful relationship aspect from 10th-20th May where love and appreciation are highly favored. 2nd decan experiences this high from 19th-26th May, and 3rd decan the same from 26th May to 3rd June. Having such a grand time in matters close to you and being valued, you will not even need to worry about money, and you should finish all business by 12th May so as to devote time to your loved ones. Health and energy levels are splendid after May 20th, you should haul yourself outside and enjoy sports and entertainment. Professionally it is a lazy time, nothing bad, but not very fruitful, so you can postpone work projects into June.

Virgo

A very mixed package of emotions, nervous feelings, and a hectic pace make for an unclear picture. 2nd and 3rd decan are assisted by the sun and your health, happiness and wellbeing are enhanced as May goes by. the mid May Mars Uranus power meeting in Pisces is going to deliver shock therapy to Virgo's relationships. Those born 2-5 September are in for unexpected surprises. Go with the flow! Financially the 1st Virgo decan does well as of May 13th and the 2nd decan follows suit in resource tappings by May 19th, and the 3rd decan is blessed monetarily after May 24th. Health and energy levels are much better and getting better. However, professionally and in business matters, Uranus and Pluto are really knocking you around from many angles, in the ways discussed in the above main transits analysis.

Libra

There can be many opportunities for fun and pleasurable things, parties to attend, showings to visit, and friends to entertain. You experience a lot of joy in May. Keep within a budget that helps you stay calm. As of 19th the financial picture looks a lot better for you. Energy levels are good now and your health and wellbeing are positively aspected during this time. Routine work in professional matters go well, and you should stick to routine, and as of 19th/20th you should start implementing projects and ideas you have been preparing. Things are working out fine for you now.

Scorpio

Relationships are still at a low point until 25th May, but your value is being recognized soon professionally. The meeting of Mars and Uranus on May 13-16 will pull you out from under the pile of the unknown and all of a sudden you will see lime light or job raise and promotion out of the blue coming your way. Financially it is a time to save up and not to make rash shopping mistakes, and after the 13th you have to stick to a budget. Your energy levels are being gently refilled and you will be able to tune into soothing and healing patterns either by meeting a kind teacher healer type person, or by visiting a spa or a spiritual leadership type work shop or other metaphysical seminar. You have to attempt to meet people who are at your level or higher, but not lower, if you see what I mean, dear Scorpio friend.

Sagittarius

The above great phase lasts until May 12th and after that time it is not a good idea to push any further as the planets literally attack you from all sides. Best is you schedule a retreat for mid May to mid June. In any event you have to watch your inherent exuberance and nervosity, because the hectic and demanding times ahead will bring with them the risk of misreading situations or of calculating the circumstances in a way that is not to your benefit. Healing is a good thing to put on the schedule now. Mars and Uranus are a hefty pair when they meet right in the center of a square to you, and all those born from 2nd to 14th December will be in for some unexpected surprises, the sort of which I cannot predict. Advice is good nutrition, lots of sleep, outdoorsy exercise and no heart attacks please. Probably your living conditions will change now. Avoid power plays and don’t get involved with any of the other mutable signs, i.e. Virgo, Gemini and Pisces, they will now not want to cooperate with you, as they are onto their own thing. What you can do is begin a bartering economy; this would stand you in good stead.

Capricorn

3rd decan of Capricorn experiences a good time in amicable relationships until May 10th. The other Capricorns experience May as a solid time with emotionally stable weeks ahead. As of 13th when Mercury enters Taurus, financial and resourcing aspects start to look very favorable for you and now you should start investing, buying, selling and get active to restructure your business affairs. Negotiations will go well when things make practical sense for all parties involved. Energy and health are very well aspected. Professionally many doors will open now and the time between 15th-29th May is a pronounced business and enjoyment phase. This would around May 20th be the best time to strike out in a new direction, and the 26th/27th add the Capricorn moon flavor to your longer lasting successes.

Aquarius

Patience will pay off by June, as of 11 May the clouds on the horizon in relationship matters seem like a mirage and constructive criticism will be appreciated by 1st decan from 11-18 May, by 2nd decan 19-26 May, and by 3rd decan thereafter. Financially a good phase continues to stimulate all of Aquarius, and the account is looking up. After May 12th you have to use fiscal discipline and avoid over-spending. New friends will appear on the scene and you will have many options and choices of who to do anything with, so you will have to be selective and not get side-tracked. After 21st May the 1st decan Aquarius gets a health energetic lift off feeling. 2nd and 3rd decan seem on a lower energy level still. There is a need to go outdoors and stay physically fit. So get with it and work less as the long hours drag you down. You should just keep working at the projects you are involved with at a 'normal' pace. Not a great time to begin a new venture now, but rather consolidate the work you have on your plate now.

Pisces

Small pleasures such as meeting family and friends for dinners or outings are good things to engage in during the first seven days in May. 3rd decan Pisces (11-20 March) will have a lot of fun. Caution here is not to overdo it. From 12th to 28th May, Mercury is helpful for business transactions, and your cognitive thinking is highly invigorated, and so you will make good decisions based on great clarity after having sifted through who or what you wish to deal with. Health and general well-being are aspected in positive manner and it is possible you decide to take on a new sport or hobby outdoors. 1st decan has to watch energy expenditure during the last seven days in May. Mars and Uranus meet on May 14th-16th, at 10-11 degrees Pisces (i.e. hits those born in the span between 28th February to March 3rd the most) and will hand down absolutely electrifying insights and action potential. Here you are at a strategic point in your life. Synchronize action with intuition from now as this is like a new beginning in your life!
