Restless & Impatient – Forecast for May 14th – 20th, 2018<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Personally, last week was all about getting myself back into shape — physically, mentally and emotionally — I’m getting ready for all the awesome change that’s coming our way this month! Yahooooo! Bring it on! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A quick announcement before we get started:<\/b>
\n<\/b> Because it is my birthday this week<\/strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a\u00a030% discount<\/strong> on my 50-minute Coaching\/Healing sessions\u00a0would be a nice gift for everyone — especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching\/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I’m running this special during my birthday week only \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

This week’s headline items<\/b>:\u00a0We have several planets changing signs this week — Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).<\/p>\n

In addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and\u00a0there will be four Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).<\/p>\n

Monday (May 14th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in Taurus<\/strong><\/em> all day.\u00a0<\/strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.<\/p>\n

In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Monday early\u00a0morning: <\/strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you’re awake) is to\u00a0slow down a little and focus on what’s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.<\/p>\n

Monday late afternoon,\u00a0<\/strong>we have an opportunity to…<\/p>\n

…meet our need for physical comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach.<\/p>\n

Monday evening<\/strong> brings a call to\u00a0<\/strong>balance our need for physical comfort and security with our desire for deeper emotional connections (to ourselves and with others). If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday <\/strong>is also the last day before the New Moon<\/i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us.\u00a0As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today:\u00a0As best as you can, get quiet and go within\u2026 Listen to the silence between the sounds\u2026 Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.<\/p>\n

Tuesday (15th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> until 4:43pm EDT<\/strong> (see Monday for details).<\/p>\n

Tuesday at 7:48am EDT<\/strong>, the New Moon in 24.5 degrees of <\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b> becomes exact. This marks the\u00a0beginning of a new Moon cycle.\u00a0As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle — I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I\u2019ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Click here to watch my video on the subject<\/a><\/p>\n

This New Moon in steady, peaceful<\/i> Taurus<\/i><\/b>\u00a0places\u00a0more focus on our interactions with the physical world — you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with \u201cmatter”, one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit.\u00a0We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on \u2014 The Earth \u2014 we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.<\/p>\n

In much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?<\/p>\n

The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in <\/i>Capricorn. <\/i><\/b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it’s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What\u00a0truly\u00a0fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?<\/p>\n

Venus,\u00a0<\/i>the ruler of Taurus,\u00a0moves through <\/i>Gemini<\/i><\/b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.<\/p>\n

The spiritual quest of Gemini<\/b>, on the other hand,\u00a0concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents the “bringing together of opposites” — <\/i>people with different values, for example.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?<\/p>\n

Another thing worth mentioning: Venus in <\/i>Gemini<\/i><\/b> also<\/i> makes a<\/i> “mutual reception” to Mercury in <\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b> —<\/i><\/b> in other words, these planets are in each other’s signs until May 19th; during that time, they “mutually” support each other’s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.<\/p>\n

We seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc…. and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I’d be heard? What\u00a0might I discover about my thinking processes and my value?\u00a0Is it possible my value doesn’t need to be “earned”? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?<\/p>\n

Uranus, in the last degree of <\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0makes a square to Mars in the last degree of <\/i>Capricorn <\/i><\/b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming — you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?<\/p>\n

Uranus moves into <\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) — starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year — I say “preview”, because Uranus will return to Taurus<\/b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift — as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!<\/p>\n

We went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how Uranus’s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; for more info or to purchase, click here\u00a0<\/a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars — partly because we also cover\u00a0Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027.<\/p>\n

Think back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 – May 2018), while Uranus was in Aries<\/b>, and ask yourself: <\/b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I’m being? Do some of those structures actually need to\u00a0break down?\u00a0What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?<\/p>\n

If you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the Aries<\/b> energy — and if that sounds like I’m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: How to Read Your Birth Chart<\/a>\u00a0or<\/i> join our next Forecasting Forum<\/a> on May 31st at 7pm EDT<\/b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June — that will also be connected to Aries in your chart — I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Mercury in 3 degrees of <\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of <\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b> —\u00a0this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29\u00ba of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact.<\/i> <\/i><\/b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions and<\/i> stay grounded in your body. Ask yourself:<\/b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I’m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?<\/p>\n

Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in <\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>. With Saturn<\/i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?<\/p>\n

Jupiter in <\/i>Scorpio<\/i><\/b> trines Neptune in <\/i>Pisces <\/i><\/b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration — and it’s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: <\/b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?<\/p>\n

To sum it all up for this New Moon:<\/b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean — our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.<\/p>\n

To bring all this together, ask yourself:<\/b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?<\/p>\n

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not<\/i> during a Moon void of course<\/a> phase. So this month, the best time to set intentions <\/i>would be between<\/b> 7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and 7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Note<\/i>, however, that there is a brief Moon void of course<\/a> on Tuesday afternoon — it runs from\u00a04:30pm\u00a0until 4:43pm EDT. <\/b>Don\u2019t<\/i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes \u2014 instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait. For more info on setting New Moon Intentions,\u00a0click here<\/a><\/p>\n

If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my Facebook Fan page<\/a>\u00a0or follow me on twitter<\/a>. I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it’s the best time to set your intentions \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

When setting intentions, ask yourself:<\/strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me? <\/i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say?\u00a0\u00a0Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject<\/a>:\u00a0https:\/\/youtu.be\/IvgN28_yRKc<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of<\/i> Taurus, Scorpio, Leo<\/i><\/b> or<\/i> Aquarius<\/i><\/b>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in<\/i> Leo<\/i><\/b> or<\/i> Cancer<\/i><\/b> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/i><\/p>\n

On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT<\/strong>, Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong> to steady, peaceful Taurus,<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0where it will journey\u00a0until November 6th.\u00a0<\/strong>This is actually a “preview” of Uranus’s coming 8-year transit through Taurus. I’ll be posting a members-only essay on this major shift, click here to read it.<\/a><\/p>\n

Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in\u00a00-2.5 degrees\u00a0of<\/i>\u00a0Taurus, Scorpio, Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or<\/i>\u00a0Aquarius<\/i><\/b>\u00a0will feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus \u00a0more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was\u00a0 also in\u00a0<\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b>\u00a08 3\u00a0years ago. If you were born 1935-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years.<\/i>\u00a0 A new cycle begins in your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.<\/p>\n

Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a brief\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that last for 13 minutes,\u00a0until 4:43pm EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway — or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups \ud83d\ude09<\/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.<\/p>\n

Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon enters chatty, versatile Gemini,<\/strong><\/em> where it will journey until Thursday late afternoon\/early evening.\u00a0<\/strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way\u2026<\/p>\n

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Wednesday (May 16th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in Gemini<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Tuesday night\/Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,<\/strong> Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented <\/i>Capricorn<\/strong> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking <\/i>Aquarius<\/i>, <\/strong>where it\u00a0<\/em>will journey\u00a0for an unusually long time,\u00a0until August 12th. <\/strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of\u00a0June, Mars will journey through Aquarius <\/strong>one more time, from\u00a0Sept. 10th – Nov. 15th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?<\/p>\n

The last time Mars entered Aquarius was in November 2016.\u00a0Think back to late 2016: what got initiated around then? How could you move that to the next level?<\/p>\n

During these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself “How could I surprise the “old me” today?”\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Mental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality — our own and<\/i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships — and we are not easily pushed around. It’s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<\/p>\n

In general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others — not in an aggressive way, though… more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less “special” than you, put your hand over your heart and ask “what would my heart say to this?”<\/p>\n

If you have an <\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.<\/i><\/p>\n

Wednesday very early morning<\/strong>, a challenging Mars\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars\/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius\/Taurus). We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th).\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<\/p>\n

Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer “reality”\u00a0demands we change course.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn’t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out \ud83d\ude09 Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<\/p>\n

Accidents\u00a0are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in <\/i>27-29 degrees<\/i> of <\/i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,<\/i><\/b> or 0-<\/i>3 <\/i>degrees of <\/i>Taurus, Scorpio,\u00a0Leo, <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Aquarius<\/i><\/b>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.<\/i> This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in <\/i>Aries <\/i><\/b>or <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)<\/i><\/p>\n

Wednesday all day: <\/b>If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, <\/i>set your Intentions<\/i><\/span> for this Moon cycle… If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video \u2014 feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore \u2014\u00a0click here to watch my video on the New Moon\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday (May 17th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> until 5:47pm EDT<\/strong>\u00a0(see Tuesday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Thursday until 7:48am EDT: <\/b>If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, <\/i><\/span>set your Intentions<\/i><\/span> for this Moon cycle… If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video \u2014 feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore \u2014\u00a0click here to watch my video on the New Moon<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday at 2:18pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that last for 3.5 hours,\u00a0until 5:47pm EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.<\/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 afternoon until early evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Thursday at 5:47pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon enters protective, nurturing Cancer,<\/strong><\/em> where it will journey until Saturday evening<\/strong>.\u00a0With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.\u00a0Self-Care is key for the next two and half days \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it — otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.<\/p>\n

Thursday late evening, around 10:40pm EDT, <\/strong>the Sun in Taurus<\/strong> squares the Solar Eclipse degree<\/em> from Feb. 15th (27 degrees of Aquarius<\/strong>). This marks a turning point in our lives in regards to our Soul’s Journey.<\/p>\n

Observe how this plays out for you: Where are you looking to make progress? What needs to change? What adjustments or creative solutions might clear the way for you to move forward powerfully with an open mind?<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday (May 18th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Thursday late afternoon\/early evening for details).<\/p>\n

Friday early afternoon<\/strong>, a harmonious Mercury\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th).\u00a0<\/strong>It 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.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/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 5-12 degrees<\/em> of <\/i>Taurus, Capricorn,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or <\/i>Virgo<\/i><\/b>? Or perhaps you have your\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Gemini, Virgo\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or<\/i>\u00a0Capricorn?<\/i><\/b>\u00a0If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.<\/i><\/p>\n

Also on Friday late afternoon, <\/strong>it’s time to take actions on our New Moon intentions<\/i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning — after the New Moon became exact — today (from late afternoon on)\u00a0<\/strong>and tomorrow (Saturday)\u00a0before 5:14pm <\/strong><\/strong>and after 7:11pm EDT,\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn\u2019t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?<\/p>\n

Saturday (May 19th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> until 7:11pm EDT<\/strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).<\/p>\n

Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT<\/strong>, Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile & curious<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>Gemini<\/strong> to protective, nurturing\u00a0<\/i>Cancer, <\/i><\/strong>where she will\u00a0journey\u00a0until June 13th;\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety — and real-estate dealings.<\/p>\n

We prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We’d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone’s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other — and make sure to talk about your feelings.<\/p>\n

With regards to our finances, it’s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It’s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in<\/i>\u00a0Taurus<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or<\/i>\u00a0Libra<\/i><\/b>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks.\u00a0Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a<\/i>\u00a0Cancer<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign \ud83d\ude09<\/i><\/p>\n

Saturday afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st).\u00a0<\/strong>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others — to do something different or unusual — freedom plays a big part in this aspect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time — it’s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.<\/p>\n

We’re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings — good places to look: all things “tech” (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of Gemini<\/strong><\/i>, Aries, Leo,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Aquarius,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or 0-2 degrees of\u00a0Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, <\/strong>or Virgo<\/strong><\/i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <\/i>Taurus, Libra <\/i><\/b>or <\/i>Aquarius <\/i><\/b>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).<\/i><\/p>\n

Saturday at 5:14pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that last for 2 hours,\u00a0until 7:11pm EDT<\/strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values — and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances…<\/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 Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Saturday at 7:11pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon enters fun and attention-loving Leo,<\/strong><\/em> where it will journey until Monday late evening<\/strong>.\u00a0We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<\/p>\n

If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?<\/p>\n

Again, today\u00a0(Saturday),\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>it’s time to take actions on our New Moon intentions<\/i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning — after the New Moon became exact — today\u00a0before 5:14pm <\/strong>and after 7:11pm EDT,\u00a0<\/strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn\u2019t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?<\/p>\n

Sunday (May 20th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Saturday evening for details).<\/p>\n

Sunday very early morning<\/strong>, an opportune Mars\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th).\u00a0<\/strong>This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.<\/span><\/p>\n

This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of\u00a0Capricorn,\u00a0Pisces,\u00a0Taurus, Scorpio, <\/b>or\u00a0<\/b>0-4 degrees of<\/i>\u00a0Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Gemini<\/i><\/b>? If so,\u00a0<\/i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in<\/i> Aries <\/i><\/b>(Mars rules Aries)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Sunday late afternoon<\/strong>, a challenging Venus\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd).\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It’s ok.<\/p>\n

If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated — probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your “wounded child”). Allow any<\/i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> <\/i><\/b>0-5 degrees of <\/i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Libra<\/i><\/b>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.<\/i>\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in<\/i>\u00a0Taurus<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or<\/i>\u00a0Libra<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).<\/i><\/p>\n

Sunday late evening<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Venus\/Mars aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st).\u00a0<\/strong>We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.<\/span><\/p>\n

This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.<\/p>\n

When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of<\/i> Cancer\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Aquarius<\/i><\/b>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.<\/i>\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in <\/i>Taurus, Libra <\/i><\/b>or <\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)<\/i><\/p>\n

Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT<\/strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual\u00a0Taurus<\/i><\/b>\u00a0to versatile, fast-thinking<\/i>\u00a0Gemini<\/i><\/b>. It will journey through Gemini\u00a0until June 21st.<\/b>\u00a0With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable — which makes us quite social as well.<\/p>\n

We enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. \u201cSharing\u201d is the name of the game.<\/p>\n

All this is especially true if you are a<\/i>\u00a0Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or<\/i>\u00a0Gemini<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.<\/i><\/p>\n

Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that last for 22.5 hours,\u00a0until 10:03pm EDT <\/strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic — even intimate — connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC, 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 Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.<\/p>\n

A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> and\u00a0VoC<\/a>, until 10:03pm EDT<\/strong>. Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT<\/strong>, the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of Virgo<\/strong> becomes exact<\/em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong>. More about the details in next week’s forecast \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
