We are generous with our time\/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.<\/p>\n Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<\/p>\n Monday afternoon<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Sun\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 2:27pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from, Sunday (May 12th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 14th) .\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we\u2019re to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n More profoundly though, we may feel challenged, as we realize that we are being overly enthusiastic with others. That high optimism may also drive us to take on more than we can physically handle. If we do start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at how we use our energy: Are we in tune with our physical body?<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worthwhile to examine how our personal belief systems impact our experience of life… Can we stay open to new philosophies or perspectives on life and what it offers to us? And even perhaps stay open toward our desire for more expansion or personal\/spiritual growth?<\/p>\n Neither avoiding conflict, nor digging in our heels will serve us now; as best as you can, slow down and stay tuned in to your physical body — ground yourself like a tree rooting deep into the earth, with branches that bend with the wind \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of Taurus<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)<\/em><\/p>\n Monday evening<\/strong>, seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it\u2019s a great day for being of service.<\/p>\n Monday late evening<\/strong>, we are more capable than normal of looking at the details, and focusing on what’s sitting right in front of us that demands to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of accomplishment. We are invited to look at all the practical implications; we need to slow down and take our time if we are to manifest something that can stand the test of time — rushing things will most likely backfire right now.<\/p>\n Monday late evening<\/strong>, a harmonious Sun\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:07pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday (May 10th) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night\/Friday very early morning (May 16th\/17th).\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of “what is and what is not”, we can make more powerful choices.<\/p>\n We can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything — even people — that no longer connect with who we are.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in…<\/em><\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em> until 2:51pm EDT<\/strong> (see Monday for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday late morning<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Mars aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 9:58am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from ,last week, Friday (May 10th) on; it will be strong\u00a0until\u00a0this Friday (May 17th).\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect helps intimate or close personal relationships along, bringing passion and sexiness to them — and if we’re not in a long-term committed relationship, we’ll get some help in forming one.<\/p>\n This could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.<\/p>\n \u00a0Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 27-29 degrees of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Aquarius<\/strong> or 0-1 degree of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong>? If so,\u00a0you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra<\/strong> or Aries<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday at 1:19pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a brief\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>,\u00a0that last for 1.5 hours,\u00a0until 2:51pm EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space\u00a0both for taking care of your daily routines and for connecting and sharing yourself with others.\u00a0As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.<\/p>\n Tuesday at 2:51pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Thursday late afternoon.\u00a0<\/strong>The<\/span> energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<\/span><\/p>\n We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.<\/span><\/p>\n We may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” \ud83d\ude09 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<\/span><\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday at 5:46am EDT<\/strong>, Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active Aries<\/strong> into steady, sensual Taurus<\/strong><\/em>, where she will journey until June 8th<\/strong>. For the next 3.5 weeks<\/strong>, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.<\/p>\n “Simple and natural” is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we’d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus<\/strong> or Libra<\/strong>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks.\u00a0Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting.<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday late evening<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 9:20pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday on; it will be strong\u00a0until Thursday evening. <\/strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.<\/p>\n Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.<\/p>\n Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else’s words\u2026 allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration — and remember, opportunities are openings… they aren’t necessarily handed to us… we have to “take” them and make something of them.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday at 11:09pm EDT<\/strong>,\u00a0Mars changes signs from curious, versatile, information-craving Gemini<\/strong> to protective, emotional, safety-oriented Cancer<\/strong>.<\/em> It will journey\u00a0through Cancer\u00a0until July 1st<\/strong>;\u00a0for these next six and a half weeks<\/strong>, we need to feel secure before we act.\u00a0We\u2019re unusually protective of ourselves and our loved ones and so prefer to handle situations peacefully and humanely.<\/p>\n We could thus appear to be going rather slow at times — but with reassurance and confidence, we are more likely to be protective, helpful, and dependable.<\/p>\n Having projects that channel our energy into our home, family, or real-estate will bring the best results. What is a simple action you could you take in one of those areas?<\/p>\n If you have an Aries<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more emotional during this time. You may experience more conflict at home or the need to assert yourself with your loved ones. If you are a Cancer<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 6.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> until 5:26pm EDT<\/strong> (see Tuesday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Thursday at 5:37am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that last for almost 12 hours,\u00a0until 5:26pm EDT<\/strong>.\u00a0Use this intuitive time to\u00a0make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what you want to build long-term.<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC,<\/a> as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until the late afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Thursday at 5:26pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Saturday late evening<\/strong>. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.<\/p>\n The Moon in Scorpio<\/strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s therefore an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.<\/p>\n Moon in Scorpio<\/strong> tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so\u00a0as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.<\/p>\n Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s\u00a0ultimately what disempowers us and others. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact Saturday late afternoon). Feel free to watch my Full Moon video<\/a>, if you haven’t seen it yet \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Thursday evening<\/strong>, a harmonious Mercury\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 7:09pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday (May 15th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday (May 18th).<\/strong>\u00a0It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.<\/p>\n We\u00a0\u201cget to the point\u201d with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a017-23 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Taurus, Capricorn<\/strong>,\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>? Or perhaps you have your\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>?\u00a0If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.<\/em><\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Thursday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Thursday night\/Friday very early morning<\/strong>,\u00a0if you are still awake (or live in Europe and are already up and about), today starts out with a need for inner adjustments:\u00a0we feel uneasy or awkward, and need to make a choice — a choice that\u00a0demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges:<\/p>\n On the one hand, we have the urge to go deeper and connect with others; on the other hand,\u00a0we are more aware of triggers and limitations connected to old childhood wounds. As best as you can, be compassionate and understanding with yourself when feelings of anger come up (and even if shame follows expressions of that anger).<\/p>\n Ask yourself: How might 5% more compassion support my relationship with myself and others today?<\/p>\n Friday early evening<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Mercury\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:49pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from\u00a0Thursday on, it will be strong\u00a0until Saturday.\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect also operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we\u2019re to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n This aspect is a fork in the road: Do we go after personal comfort and ease? Or expand our perspectives and go beyond the familiar? Awareness is key with this aspect: What demands to be done? What would a broader view show us? How might we use what we then see?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-23 degrees of\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>?\u00a0If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Friday night<\/strong>\/Saturday very early morning,\u00a0for those of us who are still awake,\u00a0we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!<\/p>\n Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> until 9:21pm EDT<\/strong> (see Thursday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Saturday very early morning<\/strong>, a harmonious Mercury\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:48am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will be strong until Sunday.<\/strong> Our words and our “speaking” are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time.\u00a0Our conviction and passion helps us to connect\u00a0and empower others. \u2028\u2028We are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations toward long-term goals. We investigate our own thoughts in a very realistic way and look to see what needs to be done next.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26\u00a0degrees of\u00a0Taurus, Capricorn<\/strong> or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n Saturday early afternoon<\/strong>, a Venus\/Uranus alignment in almost 4 degrees of Taurus<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 12:17pm EDT. We start feeling this aspect build from this Wednesday evening on; it will be strong until next week, Monday evening (May 20th).\u00a0<\/strong>This alignment gives us the opportunity to experiment with a new way of relating to others. Freedom plays a big part in our interactions with others.<\/p>\n It’s a favorable time for social meetings and events. Do something different, something unusual, with one-on-one relationships — break the routine — and as you can imagine, you might experience some unexpected interactions during this time. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: Fresh air is blowing through your relationships, or your bank account….<\/p>\n We are also ready to experiment with regards to financial undertakings; good energetic matches include anything involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities in general. That said, this is not the best time to make long-term financial investments, unless you had an intuitive vision about something \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 1-7 degrees of\u00a0Taurus, Scorpio, Leo<\/strong> or Aquarius<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Saturday late afternoon, at 5:11pm EDT<\/strong>, the Full Moon in 27.5 degrees of Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. The Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong> opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em>The entrance of the\u00a0Moon into Scorpio<\/strong> on Thursday afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the\u00a0Full Moon.\u00a0To learn more about this month’s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video<\/a><\/p>\n The last month has been filled with intense cosmic attention, directed towards what’s working (and what isn’t) in our lives at this time; this is related to the Station phases that are activating trauma residues, clearing cellular memories, and giving us an opportunity to restructure our consciousness.<\/p>\n This Full Moon shows us how far we have come, as well as\u00a0what we must still release or transform, if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred on\u00a0May 4th.<\/p>\n For the next two weeks,<\/strong> we seek the balance and integration of two polarities — and are more aware\u00a0of something that needs to be brought into alignment.\u00a0The balance in question is between our physical attachments, aversions, connections — symbolized by\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>— and our emotional attachment, aversions,\u00a0connections (Scorpio<\/strong>).<\/p>\n The time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears or disempowering behaviors, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.<\/p>\n So, here’s this Full Moon’s\u00a0central question<\/strong>: Are we living in alignment with our values, with what makes us happy and satisfied? As a society, as people, as individuals… Do we feel empowered and emotionally fulfilled?<\/p>\n All right, let’s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with\u00a0Taurus… <\/b>feel free to read the whole Full Moon article\u00a0and get all the Coaching questions here<\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-29 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, <\/strong>or Aquarius<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or Cancer<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n Right after the Full Moon becomes exact,<\/b> <\/span> at 5:11pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that last for a little over 4 hours,\u00a0until 9:21pm EDT<\/strong>.\u00a0Use this intuitive time to balance\u00a0<\/span>living according to what makes you happy, against exploring the emotional depths of human nature, and the complexities of intimate partnerships.<\/p>\n
