Astrology Forecast for May 2013 by Psychic Astrologer Janet Moon

General Tendencies for All Sun Signs

May will have typical up and down days, but it will also include two eclipses and a climatic battle between the slow and powerful outer planets, Uranus and Pluto. Unexpected problems, and possibly even tragedies, could arise personally and globally. The whole month won’t be bad, but it is likely there will be a few “crappy” days. Most will be over after Memorial day, and we can look forward to a very pleasant ending to this month of chaos.

May should begin on a positive note, with the Sun and Pluto encouraging us to make a few changes in our routines. The weekend of May 3rd could also be very pleasant. We may be in the mood to get organized and clear away clutter with Mars and Pluto out to transform our environments. Mercury and Saturn will be at an opposition, and this could bring confusion with legal contracts. Save any important decisions until Monday.

We should find it easy to communicate and easy to listen as the week of May 6th begins. Mercury will be joining Mars’ melody with Pluto. It will be an excellent time for new ideas and to gain support for an idea. But, as the week progresses, we will be approaching a New Moon Solar eclipse on Thursday in Taurus. We may find that many become resistant to changes, and the potential for theft could increase. Possessiveness, jealousy, and greedy behavior could be all around us.

Our attitudes should improve by the weekend of May 10th. The Moon will enter Gemini on Friday, and Mercury will align with the Sun on Saturday. It's going to be a great weekend for short trips, and many of us will want to communicate. Venus and Neptune will be approaching a square for Mother’s Day, and this could hit our self-esteem. Take extra time to compliment Mom.

People could be moody as the week of May 13th begins. The Moon will be in emotional Cancer, and Venus and Neptune will be at the peak of their conflict. We could be feeling very insecure and unsure of ourselves on Monday, and our romantic moral values may be compromised on Tuesday, May 14th. Our attitudes will begin to improve on Wednesday, May 15th, but trouble could start stirring, even before the weekend begins.

Many people will be overindulging in their addictions as the weekend of May 17th begins, and there is also a potential that relationships could end. Fanatics could emerge throughout the weekend, and upsets and disturbances are likely with Uranus and Pluto approaching the climax of their battle. We may find ourselves criticizing too much (especially in our thoughts), and it's likely someone could try to dump a little extra guilt on us.

Uranus and Pluto will hit the peak of their square on Monday, May 20th, so this week will probably begin with challenges in front of us. But, as the week goes on, our balance and our diplomacy should return. The Moon will enter passionate Scorpio on Wednesday, May 22nd, and we may see our environments from a new perspective over the next few days.

We will be under the umbrella of our final eclipse this Spring, as Memorial Day Weekend begins on May 24th. Our Full Moon lunar eclipse will be in Sagittarius late Friday night (early Saturday). This one will be visible from North America, but it is a penumbral eclipse (only the fringe of the Earth’s shadow will cross the Moon), so it will be difficult to see.

View it, or not, we’re still going to feel it. Neptune will be at a T-square to the eclipse, so many will really be looking for comfort in their addictions. If you are out driving this weekend, be sure to watch out for the drunk driver. Stupid accidents are also possible. Please, think, think, think before you act. Our judgement is likely to be poor, so postpone any major decisions until after the holiday.

As the new week begins after a long holiday weekend, on Tuesday, May 28th, we should find a return to normalcy. Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter will be lining up on the horizon just after sundown. This could bring tolerance, joy, and possibly even some good news. We may find ourselves making positive changes in our lives as the month ends.

Mercury will be turning retrograde once again in June, but we also will get the first taste of a grand trine in water signs. Our opportunities and our optimism will be soaring. Check back next month to find out more.

Astrology Update for April 27, 2013 by Astrologer Philip Sedgwick

Purpose and Proclivities ~ 27 Apr 2013

Mars One, a Dutch company, is taking applications for life on Mars to commence in about a decade. The deal is, there’s no return. If you sign on, you’ll live out your days there. So for those of you with lingering post Earth-day laments about the state of this planet, here’s a solution. And here’s more good news, if you go to Mars I can still work with your horoscope using a heliocentric chart or a Mars-centric chart. Sign up for citizenship on Mars and book your Mars-centric reading now! This is Mars, so hurry. Of course, if you want a more grounded reading based upon life on Earth, it’s a good time for that, too. While poking around the site, check out the astro reports and Galactic Trilogy CD, as well. And now, on to purpose and proclivities...

Those following transit reports here and there seem to be lamenting the parade of planets in Taurus having recently opposed and coming up to oppose our fine gaseous giant friend, Saturn. How could something so lovely to view acquire such a reputation as a pain in the posterior (rhetorical comment)?

Since Saturn is a big part of the dilemma package of the time and since time is short and stingy and following the seemingly lubricated sands through the worm hole of our personal hour glasses, let’s just bullet point the issues the ringed one rings in with such gusto.

Remember Saturn’s list of favorite propitiated items: planning, hard work, dedication to cause, insistence on purpose, discipline (in a good way), limits (even on limits), commitment, glee in the face of moving mountains, timeliness and enthusiasm. Operating with these attributes warms the cool cockles of Saturn’s consciousness and the yield of life’s effort goes up.

Not only is Saturn receiving heaps of triggering from the personal planets in Taurus; so are the lunar nodes. The north lunar node, in opposition and contrast to the south lunar node, operates like a beacon, offering directional insight, dharmic roadside assistance, and working to magnetize a person’s soul to the highest possible purpose in the incarnation. We like the north lunar node, but what about the undervalued and often ignored south lunar node?

The south lunar node offers karmic insights. Now that word karmic tends to send shivers down the timbers of some, but when working with the south node, it’s a good thing. The south node is like whatever the Fool carries in his traveling bandanna attached to the stick casually tossed over his shoulder. It’s a tool kit of all things learned through soul-embedded experiences from this life or that. It represents things a person can do as easy as rolling off a log... though those skills tend to be minimized by a person assuming everyone can do such things. The interesting message of Taurus, where the transiting south node voyages and the personal planets transit, is that it defines the ultimate in resources - internal resources. Inner resources, skills, creative abilities, attributes, talents and such, never go away. Regardless of money in the bank or investments lingering in the limboland of speculation, these assets are always in the bank of one’s consciousness. Sometimes these assets get overlooked. Here, the south node’s effort reminds all to remember, recollect, collect, combine, amalgamate and create. This combination surely will please the lordship of Saturn.

So let’s bullet point the transits:

Venus opposite Saturn last Sunday:
Remember this one? The scramble to budget, locate resources, define needs, ask for needs and learn to accept the good things coming your way. Given the ongoing influence in Taurus, if you have any more polishing up of fiscal agendas, cultivation of creativity, or getting your life pitch perfect, there’s still time. Get rubbing on your internal magic lamp.

Sun opposite Saturn today:
Yeah, this is grind it out. It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel the components you’re putting in place perfectly fit, or if the words hitting the page make sense. Get them down and out of your creative resource center. Avoid the urge to cut corners, truncate, abbreviate, edit in the moment, or in anyway do anything to diminish the quality or volume of content. Embellish, even though you might not feel like it. When you go back and re-read or review what you’ve put together, it’ll look pretty good. And later, editing is a part of life that Saturn has no problem doing.

It’s the Sun here. Be bright, cheerful and smiley. It doesn’t matter that you don’t want to. It’s game face day. Affirm your assets. Declare your intention. See how far your light can beam from your being and still cast a shadow.

Venus on South Node today (April 27, 2013):
Make a list of all inner resources, talents, skills, anything that you can do well, or have been told you can do well.

Here’s a news bulletin: Your opinion of your talent does not matter. If you put your talent out there for others and it’s well-received, then mission accomplished. The opinions of critics, external or internal, do not count.

Invoke your creative intention. Affirm your ability to receive and accept.

Mars opposite Saturn next Wednesday, May 1:
This is an effort-laden pattern. It demands work, effort and pushing it forward, even if you don’t want to. Drag the carcass out of bed, stand up, take a few breaths, focus, stretch, put one foot in front of the other and get things done.

Make a list and check things off it when done. Check offs are good for motivation.

Break up long term goals into tasks that can be accomplished in chunks of time less than 72 hours.

Remember, moving a mountain is a task that occurs one shovel full at a time.

Sweat cleanses the body and work is good for the soul.

Mercury opposite Saturn, May 4:
This communication pattern offers up a few rules:

Say what you’re going to do and stick with it.

Make clear demands that honor your talent and efforts. Claim respect through your efforts. Adhere to your own rules.

Make no bluffs you cannot or will not back up.

Walk your talk.

Sun on South Node, May 6:
Here’s another time to review and document your inner attributes. Locate your talents and gifts, set goals and affirm your body, mind and spirit.

Spend a little time realizing the uniqueness of your views, visions, belief and talents.

Mercury on South Node, May 9:
This is a declaration of being “found.” Here, your mind wraps around your gifts, notices your communication skill set and reaches out to make clear declarations of your experience, wisdom and cultivated talents. What was once true about you and forgotten, now is found.

Mars on South Node, May 12:
Stand back and take note of the furrows on the field of seeds you’ve cast. Note your accomplishments. Detail your wins, successes and gains. All of these become real world truths that cannot be taken away. Thus, the profile of confidence, real world wherewithal and accumulated expertise becomes verifiable and unshakeable. Given the above transits, a modicum of effort will enhance purpose and produce gains. Substantial effort applied to the patterns, who knows? Perhaps all bets are off. More soon... Norwac, the best regional astrological conference out there, is just around the corner. I am scheduling consultations for the time I am in Seattle. I arrive on May 22nd and while working other non-astro meetings in those days before the conference, if you are in Seattle, I do have day sessions available on the 22nd and 23rd, as well as a few appointments available for those attending Norwac during the actual conference. First come, first serve. Contact me for details.
