ASTROLOGY:
The serenity of spring...
May
5, 2005
By
Arlan Wise
Taurus holds sway
over most of May and offers the gifts of stability and serenity. Life
wants to move slowly now; it is truly the time to stop and smell the
flowers. Taurus is the earthiest of the earth signs, the most fixed
of the fixed signs. It is a time when Mother Nature speaks to us to
tell us of the wisdom of the elements. Give yourself the time to sit
and listen to her. Try to imitate Ferdinand the bull under his cork
tree.
Mars is in the sign of Pisces during May. Aside from a brief tangle
with Uranus, his warrior energy calms down. This gives an opportunity
to make peace with those people and things in your life that create
tension and conflict. Use this energy to enhance your meditation practice.
Thursday, May 5 Moon in Aries. This is the day of the week
to act. Do those things you've been putting off. Say those hard-to-say
words. Follow your own timeline today. Everyone feels impatient, so
watch your temper. Weed the garden; mow the lawn, but don't plant.
Find a way to challenge yourself.
Friday, May 6 Moon in Aries, VC from 9:22 am until 8:01 pm
when it enters Taurus. Take a three-day weekend; you can catch up
next week. The void-of-course moon negates any forward movement on
any front except for inner work. Think of yourself today, work on
your personal issues.
Saturday, May 7 Moon in Taurus. Let this day fulfill your dreams
of a perfect spring Saturday. Appreciate the beauty of the season.
Visit the nurseries to see what you like and buy plants. You need
to face facts and accept things as they are. Neptune contacts the
sun tonight making this a romantic evening when you can live out your
fantasies. It gives a spiritual boost to the dark of the moon energy.
Sunday, May 8 Moon in Taurus. Today should be celebrated as
Earth Day. Include Mother Nature in your Mother's Day celebration.
Give her a present and plant a tree in her honor. Sit outdoors in
the midst of her beauty and contemplate the serenity of the earth.
Pray and/or chant out loud. Begin a new meditation practice.
Monday, May 9 Moon in Gemini. You'll be able to work twice as
fast as usual and make up for lost time. Stick with short tasks. It's
a great day for all kinds of communicating. Answer all your e-mails,
send cards and letters, phone your friends. Buy books on topics that
stimulate your mind.
Tuesday, May 10 Moon in Gemini. Venus enters Gemini giving more
energy to talking and writing. There's a need for variety now and
you'll seek out the people who stimulate your mind. Today is not the
day to focus on one thing, but perfect for multitasking. You'll find
the time and energy to contact friends you want to see.
Wednesday, May 11 Moon in Gemini, VC from 10:58 am until 1:20
pm when it enters Cancer. The morning has the best work energy. Note
the long time you have for a lunch date. Beginning this afternoon
and following two days are the most fertile time of the month. Seeds
grow best when the moon is increasing in light.
Thursday, May 12 Moon in Cancer. Mercury enters Taurus, which
slows down your thinking and brings it back to earth. You'll be able
to access more common sense. You can communicate with the plants today
if you quiet down and listen. There is an opportunity to find an original
solution to a complicated problem.
Friday, May 13 Moon in Cancer. Regardless of the superstitious
tone to the day, there is the stability to finish up your week's work.
You'll be able to plod along and not get distracted. Call Mom and
see how she's doing. Cook dinner for the family and enjoy old happy
memories. It feels good to stay home.
Saturday, May 14 Moon in Leo. This is the moon that wants you
to have a fun weekend. Spend it with your kids; spend it with your
lover. Find time to be creative and override any creative blocks you
feel. Express your loving nature in as many ways as you can. Try not
to dwell on old disappointments.
Sunday, May 15 Moon in Leo. Mars joins Uranus, which disturbs
today's harmony. Think of a storm raging on the ocean as the metaphor
for the day. You will feel your emotions get unsettled. Be cautious
when using or when in the vicinity of electricity or any dangerous
fluids. Be careful when near or on the ocean.
Monday, May 16 Moon VC Leo, enters Virgo 1:46 pm. Be patient
and wait until the afternoon to start new work. You can then work
with greater efficiency and be very practical. Work on tangible matters.
Work in your garden. Do damage control from yesterday's explosions.
Tuesday, May 17 Moon in Virgo. This is a lovely day. Get outside
and enjoy it. The two planets of abundance, Jupiter and Venus, dance
together to bring love and pleasure to you. They want to shower blessings
down on you, if you will receive them. Give of yourself so you may
receive.
Wednesday, May 18 Moon in Virgo, VC 9 pm. The wonderful work
energy continues. Your mind is open to new insights and ideas and
you will be able to use them. Uranus shakes up your serenity and may
suddenly end something you love. If your relationship is stagnant,
you will have to take action to bring it back to life. You will meet
someone who will change your life with his/her words.
Thursday, May 19 Moon in Libra. Neptune begins his retrograde
phase. It will feel like a foggy day, no matter the external weather.
Your illusions and projections will cloud the reality of the situation.
Watch for buried, neglected feelings to arise. It is an auspicious
day for spiritual pursuits. |
