STARGAZING – YOUR WEEKLY FORECAST
Week of May 6th – May 13th, 2012
WEEKLY UPDATE
This week we are ready to jump at the possibility of change. From fast and furious to slow and steady, Mercury, the winged messenger, is about to make a complete reversal in how it impacts your world! Whew! The last few weeks have been ridiculously busy and active. Mental planet Mercury has been in Aries, making thoughts vibrant, impulsive and scattered. But now it’s time to cut through the Bull, get realistic, and get down to what’s truly important.
On May 9th, after sailing through Aries for the last couple weeks, Mercury will switch gears and move into Taurus. Here, Mercury becomes much more grounded, focusing on solid, tangible results. Conversations may be less inspired but more meaningful because they’ll be rooted in reality. Mercury in Taurus encourages you to slow down to make decisions, and once your mind is made up the stubborn Bull will not allow you to budge! Stand fast and manifest!
Upon entering Taurus, Mercury will form a charming alliance with Neptune on May 10th. Your intuition will go into overdrive, so make sure to follow through on any hunches, and don’t be surprised if you think of someone and suddenly they call you. This planetary pairing makes you a bit psychic and practically telepathic.
The idiosyncratic Aquarius Moon is an ideal cosmic setting for unusual experiences and friendly encounters on Friday and Saturday. Unconventional activities thrill the senses while heads tend to dominate hearts. But a lunar shift into dreamy Pisces on Sunday morning stirs up emotions and inspires romantic urges. Mercury shifts into Taurus, opening our minds to a time of practical thought and realistic goal setting. Now is the perfect time to look at where you are in life and where you want to be. With your feet planted firmly on the ground and your intuition in high gear, there’s no time like the present to re-evaluate your current career path.
This contrast in energies may leave you wondering if you’re heading in the right direction. You will know by the New Moon Eclipse on May 20th. Make notes and keep a journal. Focus on what you want to manifest and experience, Then find practical way to create it. You may begin to see results as you move through June.
The Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
You may feel more vulnerable and perhaps less confident about your decisions and choices. Mercury changes signs and moves into Taurus on Tuesday, which means that, overall, you’re more connected to your instincts and sixth sense. Your dreams and feelings about your life and various issues may help guide you to a solution. The spotlight is on personal and intimate issues. If you’ve been under stress and are suffering from tension, one of the best ways to overcome it is to have a deep tissue massage or get your partner to do this for you. Your romantic life looks pretty hot now. There’s also a positive focus on joint financial matters. You may get good news that your partner will be earning more or that the bank is willing to lend you money. Your home area has been graced with the presence of Jupiter for some time, so there have been opportunities to expand your family, extend your property, or to set up a home business. The latter could take off in a big way if you work to get it off the ground. As Mercury moves in on Tuesday, you may want to sort out contracts and go over ways for getting work done. Or if you’re thinking of selling, it might be time to get your place ready to put on the market. This is a good time to meditate. Go out in the newly blooming garden, bet quiet, and allow yourself to go deep within. This gives you time to listen to your heart. What do you really want? Allow the answers to flow, make notes, visualize and believe its here already.
Your Love Week—Air Signs: Exploring unfamiliar territory could be exciting with the Moon traveling through unconventional Aquarius on Friday and Saturday.
