TAURUS (April 21 - May 20)

Mars the action planet will be in the compatible earth sign of Virgo until Sept. 8th. This is a month where you can get a lot of work done, initiate new projects and increase your level of self esteem. As things seem to fall into your lap, it would appear that you’re one “lucky” person.

However you know that “luck” had nothing to do with the successes you’re experiencing now. You are simply getting back the results of hard work put in over the past few months.

On the 9th the Full Moon appears in your 10th House of Career, and joins Neptune, planet of visions and dreams. Whatever’s been going on at work, with bosses, could be revealed to you now. The things that you might have been a part of your imagination, could be true. Or, what you imagined to be true, could turn out not to be true. The bubble is burst, either way around, and a clearing of the air, helps you to move on to the important things you must do.

With the Sun and Saturn in square aspect to your Sun, you might have been going against the grain, burning the candle at both ends and not paying attention to how attitude and diet affect your physical body. Time to do what’s necessary to be totally healthy, even if that means letting go of heavy meats, cakes or pies.

On the 23rd the New Moon joins Mars in Virgo in your 5th House of Love, Creativity and Children. This is your time to become a child again. Magical thinking can really serve you now. Use your imagination to see yourself accomplishing your heart’s desire. Time spent with children, yours or someone else’s could help you to get in touch with your inner child.

Some Taureans might be meeting a new love interest, as you move around doing the things you love to do. This could happen suddenly and unexpectedly, and come as a most welcome, but pleasant surprise. Check out the Prayer for Divine Right Mate on this website, if you need spiritual help in drawing a special love to you.

GEMINI (May 21 - Jun 20)

Mars the action planet is in Virgo, moving through your 4th House of Home. It’s time to get your home space in neat and clean condition. Throwing out items that are no longer necessary or that are broken is a good activity that can also work on the mental level. As you let go of each item, let go of any past thinking that might have been roaming around in your active mind.

On the 9th the Full Moon appears in your 9th House of Travel, Philosophy and Higher Education. Travel on the physical or mental levels is the order of the day. You might be welcoming visitors from a distance, or making phone calls to stay in touch. The real deal is to understand that when love is in the picture, there is no time or space in between.

On the 23rd, the New Moon joins Mars in your 4th House, and you might feel like inviting friends over and putting a spiritual blessing on your home space. This doesn’t have to be an expensive venture, especially if you just tell people to bring a dish. Community activities, sharing ideas and time with special people is stimulating to your active mind.

One caution, but careful around hot things or sharp things this month. Being in a hurry, not paying attention to what’s right in front of you, could set up a scenario for an accident. If you keep your thinking in the present and focus on the here and now, you can prevent a slip, a fall, a burn or a cut. Pay attention to your intuition on this one. If you suddenly bump into something, or get a slight cut, even a paper cut, that’s a warning to slow down and focus on what you’re doing. Keep the Light around you and you’ll come through this period more aware of how to use your energies in positive ways.

CANCER (Jun 21 - Jul 20)

Mars the action planet is moving through your 3rd house of close relatives and community and forming a neat sextile to your Cancer Sun. Opportunities are all around you. But they won’t just fall into your lap, you have to have the courage to reach for them.

Right in your own neighborhood there are opportunities that you could take advantage of. You could meet someone in the supermarket, the Laundromat, getting off the bus, who has information that you could use to your advantage. So open up, smile more, get to know your neighbors, and remember you’re not living this life alone.

The Full Moon on the 9th appears in your 8th house of Joint Finances, Sex, or Death. You might find yourself thinking about all of the above. Let your active imagination show you the way to be clear of debt, or how to receive a loan or grant.

Then the Moon’s energy brings up the sexual energy as well. If you have a partner, you’ll want to spend special time with him or her. If you’re not in a relationship now, watch romantic movies, or write down the qualities that you want in a partner. Imagine yourself with him or her...a good fantasy, now and then never hurt anyone.

You might even be thinking or mooding over your longevity and subjects regarding life after life. This is a good time to think about insurance or a will and making provisions for loved ones after you leave this planet. Not in a negative or foreboding way, but in actuality facing the fact that death is a part of life.

On the New Moon in Virgo (23rd) it’s back to what’s happening in your neighborhood, or to reconnecting with close relatives. Socializing with neighbors, attending community based meetings, helps you to know that you’re living in a collective, even if you’re living in your own apartment/house. There’s power in numbers and being among people who have similar interests or concerns.

Singles Cancerians, you could meet someone who lives right around the corner at a community meeting. You’ll never find out, if you don’t get up off the couch and go.

LEO (Jul 21 - Aug 20)

You were born during the hottest season of the year. The Sun, planet of individual will is you’re ruling planet, . . . which is why it may seem you’re always on center stage or in need of constant attention.

Your keywords are “I Will” or “I Won’t”. LEO is a fixed, fire sign, that some astrologers say is reminiscent of a blow torch (smile).

Leo also rules the 5th House of Love, Children and Creativity in the astrological chart. That explains why people born under this sign have a love for children, love to be in love, and often possess gifts and talents that include music and acting. Leo is the natural drama queen or king, with the talent for turning a minor experience into a full length drama.

You are naturally generous, kind and loving and loyal to family and friends. Your spiritual lesson is to learn to be flexible, less stubborn, and to bypass the need to control every one, or every thing. When you make your connection to your High Self, you understand that it’s “thy will be done”, as opposed to “my will be done”.

LEO’S YEAR AHEAD (2006/07)

Saturn, planet of discipline, has been in your sign since July 05, and will be there until Sept 07. The first year allowed you time to get used to the energy of Saturn, the second year should be a breeze. Saturn increases the will and determination to be successful, and also inspires you to focus on what’s important.

While you would like to believe that you can trust everyone, with a Neptune opposition you’re going to have to be careful of who you trust and who you bring into your inner circle. If someone comes into your life with a too good to be true proposition...take time out, meditate on it, pray on it, before getting involved. Stay honest and above board in all your interactions with others, and be sure to ask someone you trust for advice in matters involving, love or money.

If you stay in truth, and remember to ask your angels for the truth, you can bypass the possibility of getting caught up in someone else’s drama or wantabee slick scheme. Be true to yourself and focus on the Light that is inside you and all around you.

Have a positive, productive, fun filled year.

Your Month Ahead

With the Sun and Saturn together in Leo, opposing Neptune, you’re energies may be up and down.

On the 23rd the new moon in Virgo appears in your 12th House of Hidden Matters. This is also an "in" rather than "out" energy. Write down your goals, watch your self talk, and “see” yourself successfully accomplishing the things you say you want to do. Work behind the scenes on special projects and only tell those people who are closest to you about your plans for the future. Stay the course and know your angels are with you.

VIRGO (Aug 21 - Sept 20)

Mars, the action planet is in your sign all month, leaving on Sept. 8th. While this energy of Mars, can increase your personal energy, you also have to watch for making impulsive moves, and/or getting involved in arguments. This is the “think before you speak” aspect that inspires you to forcefully state your opinions when interacting with people who may think differently than you. A seed dropped lightly, will eventually take root and grow, if love and compassion are in the mix.

On the 23rd, the Sun and Moon (New Moon) will be in Virgo. This is new start energy, time to launch projects, start a new job, or even a new love relationship. Your energy levels will be at an all time high as you attend to the many items on your “things to do” list. This is also a good time to initiate a new work out and nutrition program to channel the increase of energy. It’s important for you to get to know your own body and pay attention to your sleep patterns. Getting enough rest during this busy period is important to your peace of mind and overall health.

Mars is also equated to the sex drive. If you’re feeling the urge to merge, just keep everything in perspective. Don’t try to make a love relationship out of a sexual relationship. If it’s love, it can wait. If it’s sex, you just can’t wait. This where your rational mind comes in handy. You have the ability to analyze (Virgo says “I Analyze”), and to be discriminating, use those natural skills to assist you, if a question comes up in your head.

You might also find that at this time you’re attracted to a different style or colors, this indicates a change within.
Go for it!

LIBRA (Sept 21 - Oct 20)

LIBRA – You might be feeling low on energy this month, as Mars the energizer moves through your 12th House of Hidden Things. When you look back on July, you’ll realize why you need to kick back, relax and work on projects in a quiet setting. There’s a time for everything, now’s the time to pay attention to your health, rest, relax, meditate and reflect. While you have a tendency to want to please everyone, learning to say “no” is a good idea for the month of August.

If you find it difficult to turn down an offer, ask yourself if your self esteem is in place. You have to love yourself unconditionally, first, then you can sweetly say a polite “no thank you” without feeling bad about it. Others will react positively when you’re confident and firm about what’s in your best interests.

The new moon on the 23rd. also appears in your 12th House of Hidden Matters. Time to quietly begin new personal projects. Write down your goals for the future and keep it to yourself, or a few people who’ve gained your trust through the years.

Jupiter planet of joy and expansion is moving through your 2nd House of Money. Been on a spending spree lately? As money increases, make sure you’re not using things to raise your self esteem.

This is a good time to start a savings plan, make smart investments that will allow your money to grow.

The message for August is to be good to yourself and true to what you believe.

SCORPIO (Oct 21 - Nov 20)

You can flow through this period and actually get stronger on a spiritual level, by refusing to react to the situations or people in your life that upset your nerves.

Just keep in mind that there are no accidents. Everyone who’s in your life now is there because of a choice you made in the past. People in authority positions, bosses, police, politicians, are all living in human bodies, just like you. If you are confronted with a situation involving these people, take a deep breath before you react to what’s being said or done.

You are a powerful being and can use that power to create win win situations, where everyone comes away feeling better. An angry remark is sometimes an inner cry for help. See past the appearances and words and look more deeply for the real meaning behind the words or actions.

Keep in mind that the best way to teach is through example, and the best way to show up a dirty glass is by putting a clean one beside it.

On the new moon in Virgo, (23rd), avoid the temptation to “tell it like it tis” where authority figures or bosses are concerned. Listen, then speak from your heart, and stay detached from the outcome. It’s going to be what it’s supposed to be.

Theoretically, whether you’re male or female, you’re on your period. (smile). You’re emotions are running high now as the increase of Moon energy floats through your sign. It’s a good time to do some self pampering, get a massage, pedicure, or go to the beauty parlor and try a new hairstyle. Whatever you do, it’s alright at this time to put your needs, wants and desires first.

You are a natural giver in life, a humanitarian concerned about the welfare of others...but you can’t give from an empty cup...time to fill yours up first, then give of your overflow. You’re psychic energy is high now as the visions in your mind increase with the increase of Moon energy.

Reading books on metaphysical (beyond the physical) experiences may interest you now. How to increase your intuition or even life after death are subjects that increase your spiritual knowledge.

PISCES (Feb 21 - Mar 20)

Mars the action planet will be in your opposite sign until Sept. 8th. It’s time to stop, look and listen, before you respond to criticisms coming from others. Ask yourself “is this true about me?” If your inner self says “no”, then the best reaction would be “thank you for sharing your point of view”.

In other words spending time to defend yourself is a total waste of energy. If in these situations you can remind yourself to take the High Road, and then move on, you’ll find that you will be getting spiritually strong.

...happiness, joy, success and unconditional love.
