Scorpio Symbol

by Patty Kamson

November is when the Sun transits through the Water element of Scorpio and the Fire element of Sagittarius. This month Venus (love, money, beauty & female), the planetary ruler of Taurus and Libra is still retrograde until November 18th in the sign of Scorpio (intensity, sexuality, transformation) and will scoot back into Libra (diplomacy, relationships, social) from Nov 9th – 30th. The same energy applies as with last month in terms of past relationships, old friends or relatives showing up when you least expect them. Also, make sure you are keeping a keen eye on your finances.

This month life starts to speed up again toward mid-month. Three planets will go direct, Venus,  Jupiter and Neptune, catapulting us back into the mainstream. The past couple of months with so many planets in and out of retrograde it has made it hard to gain much momentum in moving our lives in a forward motion. Get ready for that to change but also know the energy may be a little groggy in the beginning but will soon get its footing and we’ll be off to the races with life responding in good time to our efforts for a short period… With the energy finally moving, keep in mind that Mercury will be going retrograde next month from December 10th – 29th.  More detail will be given next month about this transit. In 2010 we started the year with Mercury in retrograde and in 2011 we will start the year with ALL the planets moving direct.  So at least for now it looks like in 2011 there will be more opportunity to create movement in our agendas, projects and relationships.

Check out the following important dates to put on your calendar:

November 1st – Pluto (transformation) is in a good aspect to Venus (love, money, beauty, talents) – This bodes well for relationships and business partnerships.

November 5th – New Moon in Scorpio – A New Moon represents new beginnings and setting intentions for the coming months. This is also a time when you may need to let something go to make room for the new and improved coming into your life. For Scorpios, this is your one new moon of the year so you may want to set time aside to make a plan for the coming year. What do you want to see for the rest of 2010/2011? Write it down and then take action during the coming months to make it happen. Signs most affected by this new moon will be Scorpio, Taurus, Leo and Aquarius.

November 7th – Neptune (unconditional love, compassion, deceit,) goes direct in Aquarius (unique, rebellious, intellectual)

November 9th – Mercury (communication, contracts & transportation) moves to Sagittarius (adventure, freedom, truth)

November 18th – Venus (love, money & beauty) goes direct in the sign of Scorpio (intensity, power & control). This will mostly affect Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo & Libra.

November 18th – Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) goes direct in the sign of Pisces (creative, compassion, spiritual)

November 21st – Full Moon in Taurus. A Full Moon represents energy releasing, letting go, ending and completing. A Full Moon can also mean a culmination of hard work which ends in celebration and maybe even moving into a totally unexpected direction. Signs most affected by this Full Moon will be Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius.

November 22nd – Sun moves into Sagittarius (adventure, freedom, truth)

November 29th – Venus revisits Scorpio (loyal, passionate, power)

November 30th – Mercury (communication, contracts & transportation) moves into Capricorn (practical, focused, disciplined)

Provided below are the horoscopes for each sign, if you know your Rising/Ascendant sign, read that sign, as well as your Sun sign. To be clear, the Sun Sign forecast below is a generality. If you want specific information based on your birth chart, I am available for readings to help you have the best possible year ahead.

Scorpio October 24 – November 21:
Happy Birthday Scorpio! Venus (love, money, beauty, talents) will move direct November 18th. This is a great time to get a new hair style or buy that outfit you’ve had your eye on for your birthday celebration. Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) will also be moving direct on November 18th in your house of true love, children, creativity and self-expression. Your one New Moon of the year in Scorpio will be on November 5th. Make sure you set time aside that day to create, compose, and construct your intentions for the coming year! Sounds like this can be a very interesting month to mix, mingle and create!

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21:
Mars (passion, drive, energy & action) is now in Sagittarius until December 7th. You haven’t experienced this burst of energy since November of 2008. This is a great time to start new endeavors in your career, work, diet and exercise. The Sun will move into Sagittarius on Nov 22nd and that will really allow you to let the party start!

Capricorn December 22 – January 19:
The New Moon in Scorpio on November 5th will take place in your house of friendships, hopes and wishes. This is a great opportunity to put out to the Universe what you are truly looking for in life and then do something every day to bring your wish to fruition. Venus (love, money, beauty, talents) will retrograde back into your house of career on Nov 7th and this is a great opportunity to revisit a career decision that can be tweaked or adjusted.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18:
Looks like things may be a little slow in the beginning of the month but will start moving forward by mid-month. You will have a New Moon (new beginnings and fresh starts) in your house of career and reputation on November 5th setting the tone for what’s to come. Venus (love, money, beauty, talents) and Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) will move direct on November 18th activating your house of career and one of your money houses. It looks like this a good month to build a solid foundation for your financial future.

Pisces February 19 – March 20:
Your ruling planet Neptune (fantasy, compassion, love, denial) turns direct on November 7th. This will give you a boost of inspiration in the coming months. Mars (passion, drive, energy & action) will swiftly be moving through your house of career spurning you to pursue your dreams as well. If you find yourself with no direction, sign up for a class that you’ve always had an interest in to help the inspiration process. Music is also a good outlet for inspiration during this time.

Aries March 21 – April 19:
Most of the planets are in the upper quadrant of your chart. That means you can not hide… Venus (love, money, beauty, talents) and Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) will move direct on November 18th activating your houses of money and secrets. Secrets may be reveled this month and money may quickly leave your bank account but hopefully Jupiter will help to attract more income to replace what is leaving.

Taurus April 20 – May 20:
Your planetary ruler, Venus (love, money, beauty, talents) returns to direct motion in your house of relationships and business partnerships November 18th. Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) goes direct on the same day as well in the area of your chart that deals with how you receive love… The Full & New Moons this month are also aspecting the relationship sector of your chart. Are you getting the theme for this month…

Gemini May 21 – June 21:
Mars the planet of passion and action is lighting up your relationship house. And with all the activity in the area of the chart that deals with your daily routine and your work environment, I wouldn’t be surprised if you started dating someone from your work, your health club or the supermarket you visit each week. The New Moon is taking place in your 6th house as well and this can be a good time to start that health and fitness routing you may have been putting off.

Cancer June 22 – July 22:
Power struggles in your closest relationships will keep you busy this month. Transformational Pluto is coming in contact with the North Node (karma) in your relationship house. This is the time to really make core changes with issues that you’ve been trying to keep at bay and not confront or resolve. Take your time and really get down to the business at hand with your partner. Ask for assistance if necessary to help with mediation and to help keep the process moving forward.

Leo July 23 – August 22:
As with last month, family may take your attention this month. This is a great time to connect, get answers, and even enjoy spending time with family. Fall is here and it’s a great time to plan dinner parties in the home and bond with the people closest to you. By mid-month Jupiter and Mercury will be in Sagittarius wanting to break out and go for an adventure. Enjoy!

Virgo August 23 – September 22:
Virgo you may be a busy bee this month. With so much activity in your house of communication, transportation, and short trips you will need to make sure you breathe and don’t get overwhelmed. Your ruling planet, Mercury, will be moving into Sagittarius on November 9th sparking your enthusiasm to communicate your truth to anybody that will listen. Don’t be discouraged if everyone is not as enthusiastic as you… The Scorpio energy is compatible with you dear Virgo, so this should reflect in enjoying a long awaited positive month.

Libra September 23 – October 23:
Your ruling planet, Venus (love, money, beauty, talents) is still retrograde until November 18th in your house of money and resources. This is not making life a bed of roses. You are having to redefine what is of value and what needs to be released. In the big picture this is a beautiful thing because you are lightening your load but going through this process can be painful. Saturn (responsibility, limitation & discipline) in your sign is not going to let you off easy so get through the hard work so you can reap the rewards that lay ahead of you.

Virgo symbol

September is when the Sun transits through the Earth element of Virgo and the Air element of Libra.  This month begins with Mercury still retrograde until September 12^th.  It’s that time again to get the kids back in school and resume our more predictable schedules.  Mercury and the Sun are in Virgo so the duties and details of life may be taking up a lot of time.  This Mercury cycle will bring up issues regarding pets, co-workers, employment, health concerns, transportation, being of service, and communication.  Patience is the key word during a Mercury retrograde cycle.  I look at all the typical Mercury retrograde occurrences I’ve experienced in the last couple of weeks, and I’ve had plenty this cycle, and just smile knowing it’s all part of the plan!

This month the planets are giving us a little respite from the intense summer energy we’ve experienced.  Take a breather and get your bearings so when it’s time to get back in the fray of life you will have the energy to tackle all that is put before you.

Check out the following important dates to put on your calendar:

September 8^th – Venus (love, money & beauty) enters the sign of Scorpio (intensity, power & control)

September 8^th – New Moon in Virgo – A New Moon represents new beginnings and setting intentions for the coming months. This is also a time when you may need to let something go to make room for the new and improved coming into your life.  For Virgos, this is your one new moon of the year so you may want to set time aside to make a plan for the coming year. What do you want to see for the rest of 2010? Write it down and then take action during the coming months to make it happen. Signs most affected by this new moon will be Virgo, Pisces, Gemini & Sagittarius.

September 12^th – Mercury (communication, contracts & transportation) moves direct in Virgo (modest, meticulous & practical)

September 13^th -  Pluto (transformation) moves direct

September 14^th -  Mars (passion, drive & energy) moves into Scorpio (intensity, power & control)

September 18^th – Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) and Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise, separation & freedom) are together in Pisces.  Surprises should be on the agenda!

September 23^rd – Sun enters Libra (beauty, diplomacy & relationships) representing the Fall Equinox.

September 23^rd - Full Moon in Aries.  A Full Moon represents energy releasing, letting go, ending and completing. A Full Moon can also mean a culmination of hard work which ends in celebration and maybe even moving into a totally unexpected direction. Signs most affected by this Full Moon will be Aries, Libra, Cancer & Capricorn.

Provided below are the horoscopes for each sign, if you know your Rising/Ascendant sign, read that sign, as well as your Sun sign.  To be clear, the Sun Sign forecast below is a generality.  If you want specific information based on your birth chart, I am available for readings to help you have the best possible year ahead.

Virgo August 23 – September 22:

Happy Birthday Virgo!!  The intense summer energy is waning and this month you should be able to take a breather and get your bearings.  Your planetary ruler Mercury is retrograde until September 12^th.  This is a great time to get things done you’ve been putting off.  It’s also a good time to schedule an appointment to see your doctor and dentist.  Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise & freedom) and Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) will be moving back into your relationship sector on September 18^th.  This may be a time when unexpected surprises involving your closest relationships occur.  Your one New Moon of the year will be on September 8th.  Make sure you set time aside that day to create, compose, and construct your intentions for the coming year!

Libra September 23 – October 23:

This month starts out with many planets in Libra including Mars (passion, drive, energy).  You are ready to go and make things happen.  Saturn (responsibility, limitation & discipline) in Libra is definitely testing you which makes this a time of decisions, lessons, and slow but sure progress.  Towards the end of the month Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise & freedom) and Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) will move into your work sector.  Things may get very busy and unexpected opportunities may pop up where you least expect them.

Scorpio October 24 – November 21:

Mercury is retrograde in the sector of your chart deals with your hopes and wishes.  This month you may open up a door that can possibly make a dream come true.  Pay attention because opportunities don’t always come as you would expect.  Romance may be on the agenda this month as well dear Scorpio.  Get out, mingle and socialize this month, you never know who you might meet.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21:

This month you may experience some unexpected events involving family and your home life.  The energy involves the planet Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) so it shouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.  There just may be more activity involving your family this month.  It can also mean that a move can take place or even someone may be moving in with you.  However the energy reveals its self know that change is what makes this life so exciting.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19:

September should give you some time to breathe and clean up the summer chaos.  Mercury is retrograding through your house of legal issues, publishing, travel and spirituality.  This month may be a great time to take a weekend get-a-way.  If you are dealing with legal issues, scheduled court dates may be postponed so be patient.  This is a great month to go within and gain clarity of your life’s purpose and vision.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18:

Your planetary ruler Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise & freedom), will aspect Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) later this month.  That means the raise you’ve been looking for that you thought was impossible just may be possible this month.  With Mercury retrograding in your house of investments and joint finances, this is a good month to revisit these areas to make sure you are still on the right track financially.

Pisces February 19 – March 20:

This month you may be a little accident prone so be extra careful and pay attention when driving and walking.  Romance and past relationships are also a theme this month.  If you are single, are you doing the healing work within so you can attract the person you are searching for…  If you’re in a relationship are you working with your partner to keep the relationship alive…   This is a perfect month to answer those questions.

Aries March 21 – April 19:

Aries you should be feeling the strong planetary energy because it is hitting you at all angles.  September is a time to get off the ride for a minute and observe the new terrain that is being created.  Are you moving in a direction that will benefit you most …  If not, this would be a good time to make adjustments while Mercury is retrograde.  Once you have made your assessments you can start implementing your improved vision after September 12^th.

Taurus April 20 – May 20:

The New Moon on September 8^th will be in your house of romance and true love.  This will be a great opportunity to put out to the Universe, if you are single, what you are looking for in a partner.  You may be surprised how fast it can manifest with Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) and Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise & freedom) in your house of hopes and wishes.  If you are in a relationship this can be a good time to spend quality time together.

Gemini May 21 – June 21:

Your planetary ruler, Mercury, is still retrograde until September 12^th.  It’s in the sector of your chart dealing with home and family.  You may be dealing with home repairs and/or family duties and get-togethers.  Also, this month your work may receive an unexpected boost or change.  Be open and expect the unexpected.

Cancer June 22 – July 22:

Cancer you should get some well deserved rest this month.  The summer was filled with planetary activity that kept you on your toes.  With Mercury retrograde in your house of transportation and communication, you may want to make sure you take your car in for service and back up your computer.  This is also a month you may want to take a look at new business opportunities that you may want to pursue in the future.

Leo July 23 – August 22:

You will experience a New Moon September 8^th in your house of earned income and values.  This means you may want to get clear about where you are focusing your energy and get rid of beliefs that may not be leading you down a successful path.  Also, Pluto (transformation) will begin moving direct on September 14^th in your house of health and work.  Do you need to start a new health regimen?  Are you looking at changing your work environment?  Pluto is on a path to help you make the changes happen.  Are you fighting the urge…  Don’t, Pluto always wins.

A road of limitless possibilities…

July is when the Sun transits through the water element of Cancer and the fire element of Leo.  Patience should be the key word for this summer.  A spotlight is shining on the powerful transits we’re experiencing right now in areas of our lives that may be troubled or ready to explode into success. People are feeling the need to change their lives and those who are in resistance will be frustrated the most. Stay flexible and open to the miracles of life at this time.

Planetary movements are in abundance and when there is so much movement in the sky that means there is much movement below…  Most of the energy will be felt towards the end of July, so the first couple of weeks of July should be filled with rest and relaxation.  Below I’ve listed dates of the planetary movements and what signs will be most affected.

Check out the following important dates to put on your calendar:

July 5^th – Dec 5^th – Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise, separation & freedom) stations retrograde – This is a time when inner awakenings can take place.

July 9^th -  Mercury (communication & Transportation) enters Leo (leader, generous & expressive)

July 10^th – Venus (love, money & beauty) enters Virgo (modest, meticulous & practical)

July 11^th – New Moon in Cancer – A New Moon Eclipse represents a head start with fertilized seeds being planted (which can mean a quicker outcome/manifestation), new beginnings and setting intentions for the coming months. This is also a time when you may need to let something go to make room for the new and improved coming into your life.  For Cancer, this is your one new moon of the year so you may want to set time aside to make a plan for the coming year. What do you want to see for the rest of 2010? Write it down and then take action during the coming months to make it happen. Signs most affected by this new moon will be Cancer, Capricorn, Aries & Libra.

July 21^st – Saturn (tradition, structure & discipline) enters Libra (beauty, harmony & diplomacy) – When Saturn is in your Sun sign life can get challenging because Saturn wants you to step up to the plate, mature and take responsibility for your past and future actions.  Also with Saturn on your Sun sign or in a strong aspect to your sun sign you will want to take care of your health, pay attention to your close relationships to make sure they are where you want them to be.  Are you looking at changing your career or work?  Make necessary plans to make it go smoothly.  Do you need to relocate?   With Saturn in Libra, we will all at some level be learning lessons about relationships, diplomacy and decision making.

July 22^nd – Sun enters Leo (leader, generous & expressive) its natural ruler

July 23^rd – Nov 18^th – Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) stations retrograde – Inner truths and beliefs are revealed during this time.

July 25^th – Full Moon Eclipse in Aquarius.  A Full Moon represents energy releasing, letting go, ending and completing. A Full Moon can also mean a culmination of hard work which ends in celebration and maybe even moving into a totally unexpected direction. Signs most affected by this Full Moon will be Aquarius, Leo, Taurus & Scorpio.

July 26^nd – Aug 12^th –  Saturn (tradition, structure, lessons & discipline)  in opposition to Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise, separation & freedom)  -  This aspect highlights the status quo vs change in our personal lives as well world occurrences.  This opposition first occurred in November of 2008 and this will be the last of 5 occurrences.  Signs most affected will be Aries, Libra, Cancer & Capricorn.

July 27^th -  Mercury (communication & Transportation) enters Virgo (modest, meticulous & practical)

July 29^th -  Mars (passion, action & energy) enters Libra (beauty, harmony & diplomacy)

Provided below are the horoscopes for each sign, if you know your Rising/Ascendant sign, read that sign, as well as your Sun sign.  To be clear, the Sun Sign forecast below is a generality.  If you want specific information based on your birth chart, I am available for readings to help you have the best possible year ahead.

Cancer June 22 – July 22:

Happy Birthday Cancers!   You should still be processing the Full Moon Eclipse from last month!  Lots of cosmic dust was kicked up.  This month your career, reputation as well as your public persona is up for debate.  Make sure you stay flexible and ready for the changes coming your way.  It’s also a time to look at your home environment and see what needs to be adjusted.  Take it slow, there’s no rush.  Towards the end of July there will be many planetary changes, so during the early part of the month get your bearings to prepare for the next wave of opportunities coming your way.  Your one New Moon for the year is an Eclipse this year on July 11^th. Make sure you set time aside that day to create, compose, and construct your intentions for the coming year! The Eclipse means your wishes and intentions will have extra power behind them to manifest.

Leo July 23 – August 22:

In July, prior to the Sun moving into Leo, this can be a time of introspection.  There will be a New Moon Eclipse in your house of secrets and dreams.  What are you going to bring out from behind closed doors when the Sun moves into Leo on July 22^nd?  Your third house is going to be lit up towards the end of the month and this can mean lots of communications, creative ideas and socializing. Your solar return is on the way.  Take this time to prepare so you can come out with a bang.

Virgo August 23 – September 22:

Saturn finally leaves your sign July 21th!  You are now, hopefully, on a new life’s path with the help of Saturn kicking your butt along the way these past two and half years.  Now it’s time to build on the new foundation Saturn helped you to create.  The New Moon Eclipse is taking place in your house of wishes, friendships and networking and this may be a great place to start creating support for your new life.

Libra September 23 – October 23:

Libras are the sign being tested these days.  The New Moon Eclipse on July 11^th will ask you to let go of something before something better can come in.  Libras born in the early degrees of the sign (Sept 22^nd – 26^th) should be feeling the energy the strongest now.  Saturn (tradition, structure & discipline) is moving back into Libra on July 21^st and will also oppose Uranus (innovation, surprise & freedom) for the last time.  Remember to breathe Libra and take things slow.  There is no race to get to the finish line.

Scorpio October 24 – November 21:

The New Moon Eclipse is taking place in your 9^th house of litigation, education, your higher truths & beliefs, and international travel.  These are the areas in your life that may have your attention.  It’s time to break out of old beliefs to create more opportunity and growth in your life.  Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) and Uranus (innovation, surprise & freedom) are in your house of work and hopefully that will create some unexpected job opportunities.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21:

Sagittarius, you start of this month feeling pulled in many different directions.  What is being questioned is your value system.  What is truly important to you in life?  Is it better to downsize and live in a one bedroom apartment…  Should you move to another state and enjoy a simpler life…  Why am I working so hard at a job I don’t like…  These are all valid questions that only you and your soul can answer.  Take the time this month to ask and answer questions for yourself so you don’t make reactionary decisions but decisions from a centered place.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19:

Capricorns born in the early degrees of the sign (Dec 22^nd – 28^th) are dealing with a lot of challenging aspects.  The number one culprit is Pluto.  Pluto wants you to transform and purge all things in your life that are not serving you.  Then you are receiving challenging aspects from Saturn (tradition, structure & discipline), Uranus (innovation, surprise & freedom) and Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth).  The beginning of July is a time to take it slow and make no quick moves because beginning July 21^st life is going to rev back up again and you will be happy that you took a time out.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18:

You have lots of activity in your 6^th house of health and work.  These areas of your life will have your attention this month.  The New Moon Eclipse on July 11^th can help you to create change in your work environment or even help you create a new fitness and health routine.  This is also a month where you will have many ideas and may even what to go back to school or take a class to satisfy your thirst for knowledge.

Pisces February 19 – March 20:

Don’t worry Pisces, Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) will be back in your sign in September.  Also, Saturn (tradition, structure & discipline) will leave Virgo on July 21^st affecting those Pisces with birthdays from March 18^th – 21^st).  July has a nice New Moon Eclipse happening in your 5^th house of romance, creativity and children.  It’s a great opportunity to get out and express yourself and enjoy.  You might just meet your soul mate along the way!  Towards the end of July, the busy planetary activity should help to clear away some blocks that have delayed you moving forward.

Aries March 21 – April 19:

Aries, you have lots of planetary activity this month to keep you jumping!  Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise, separation & freedom) and Saturn (tradition, structure & discipline) will make its last of 5oppositions on July 22^nd – Aug 12^th.  This aspect is asking you to make a decision to lighten your load.  You are carrying too much right now on your life’s journey.  Unpack your bag and sift through it to see what is no longer serving you to lead a joyful life.

Taurus April 20 – May 20:

Your ruling planet, Venus, will move into your 5^th house of romance, creativity and children on July 10^th.  It will be a great time for the next month to enjoy life.  Go out, mingle, dance, sing and express yourself.  The New Moon Eclipse on July 11^th is activating your 3^rd house of the mind, siblings and everyday activities.  What do you want to improve…  This is a great time to set intentions to shift these areas of your life.

Gemini May 21 – June 21:

Saturn (tradition, structure & discipline) and Uranus (innovation, surprise & freedom) will make there last of 5 oppositions on July 26^th – August 12^th in your 5^th and 11^th houses.  This is activating issues with your children, friends as well as your own self-expression.  Are these three areas in your life working in concert…  Are you able to express who you really are with your friends and children…  If not, it’s time to take a look at why you have chosen to not to express who you really are and make adjustments.  The Full Moon Eclipse on July 11th is basically asking the same thing as well.  What do you really value…   Now set your intention to live your true core values!

Beautuful May Flowers

May 2010 Forecast

May is when the Sun transits through the earth element of Taurus and the air element of Gemini.  The planetary energies are building out there and no one is immune to their affects…  The Saturn (tradition, structure & the status quo) and Uranus (innovation & rebellion) opposition (which started in Nov 2008) has shown its self thorough the financial system breakdown, election of Obama, the phenomena of Sarah Palin, school systems falling apart, and most recently, the social unrest with the immigration law in Arizona.  Our societal structures are being challenged.  The choices we make in the coming months will set the tone for years to come.  The last hit of this transit will be July 26^th.  Are we fighting to keep out dated societal structures out of fear…  Should we be developing new and innovative societal structures to incorporate into our evolving world…  Or will we keep the status quo in place…  Only time will tell what we decide.

Check out the following important dates to put on your calendar:

April 11th – May 16th – Opposition of Saturn (Tradition) and Uranus (Innovation)

May 11^th – Mercury turns direct in Taurus

May 13^th – New Moon in Taurus. A New Moon represents seeds being planted, new beginnings and setting intentions for the coming months. For Taurus, this is your one new moon of the year so you may want to set time aside to make a plan for the coming year. What do you want to see in 2010? Write it down and then take action during the coming months to make it happen. Signs most affected by this new moon will be Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius.

May 19^th: Venus, the planet of love and money, enters Cancer

May 20^th:  Sun moves into Gemini

May 27^th:  Uranus moves into Aries

May 27^th – Full Moon in Sagittarius. A Full Moon represents energy for releasing, letting go, endings and completions. A Full Moon can also mean a culmination of hard work which ends in celebration and maybe even moving into a totally unexpected direction. Signs most affected by this Full Moon will be Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo & Pisces.

May 30^th:  Saturn turns direct in Virgo

May 31^st:  Neptune turns retrograde

Provided below are the horoscopes for each sign, if you know your Rising/Ascendant sign, read that sign, as well as your Sun sign.  To be clear, the Sun Sign forecast below is a generality.  If you want specific information based on your birth chart, I am available for readings to help you have the best possible year ahead.

Taurus April 20 – May 20:

Happy Birthday Taurus!  Mercury (thought & communication) will still be retrograde in your sign until May 11^th.  Consequently, until Mercury turns direct, introspection and releasing old energy should be on the “to do” list.  Your one New Moon of the year in Taurus will be on May 13^th.  Make sure you set time aside that day to create, compose, and construct your intentions for the coming year!  Family may take up your time this month.  Mars (passion & aggression) is involved in the family matters, therefore, there maybe a few kinks that need to be worked out.  At the end of the month Uranus (the unexpected, innovation & rebellion) will move out of Pisces into Aries, which is your 12^th house of intuition, unconscious mind & karma.  This will be a very interesting time with bursts of insight coming forth to enlighten your life’s journey.

Gemini May 21 – June 21:

Your planetary ruler Mercury is still retrograde as we start the month until May 11th.  You will want to take it slow during the first part of the month.  Gemini’s born between June 16^th -20^th may experience stressful financial or property situations towards the end of the month.  Confront whatever is being presented, make the hard decisions and keep moving.  Don’t get caught up in who is right and who is wrong.

Cancer June 22 – July 22:

Cancer’s (Pamela Anderson, Lindsay Lohan, David Hasselhoff & USA) are experiencing powerful energies this month that involve some heavy duty planets. Pluto (transformation), Saturn (authority & structure), and Uranus (freedom & rebellion) are all lined up to move you into a huge growth cycle along with the next eclipse in June.  As we know, growth is not always easy or fun but is worth the hard work.  The best way to get through this time is to not resist change, because what we resist… persists.  The opportunity is there for you to transform your life…  Are you ready?

Leo July 23 – August 22:

Mars (Energy & Passion) is still in your sign energizing you for one more month.  Saturn (tradition) and Uranus (innovation) are giving you another opportunity to restructure your finances.  What’s key is that you think outside the box and use your creative juices to get on the road of financial success.  Define what success is for YOU so you have more clarity with your goal.  It’s not business as usual…

Virgo August 23 – September 22:

REMINDER -Saturn (responsibility & structure) is now in Virgo until July 20^th.  It will affect those with birthdays from Sept 19^th-22^nd.  The Universe is giving you another opportunity to make adjustments in the decisions that were made in the past year.  Take it slow in the first part of the month.  The planetary energy is going to intensify as we go deeper into May and you will be grateful for the rest you had as you navigate your way through decisions that need to be made.

Libra September 23 – October 23:

Saturn (responsibility & structure) backed out of Libra returning to Virgo to give you a little breathing room to adjust until it moves into Libra again on July 22^nd.  Libras (Michael Douglas, Randy Quaid, Kate Winslet & Brett Favre) have been feeling the demands of having to make big decisions.  Whether it’s in regards to family, career or relationships the responsibilities need tending.  Take it one step at a time and don’t bite off more than you can chew.   The winner of the race is not always the quickest.

Scorpio October 24 – November 21:

Mars (passion) is still in Leo at the top of your chart until the first week of June.  This is the time to energize your career, business and reputation.  Kick down doors and blast through the corporate ceiling to make your presence known.  The New Moon in Taurus on May 13^th will be in your house of partnerships (business & pleasure).  Take some time that day to meditate on what you are looking for in partnerships and how you want your partnerships to evolve in the future.  The seeds will be planted to make it so…

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21:

Saturn (structure & responsibility) is moving back into your tenth house of career until July 22^nd.  Do you have loose ends that need to be cleaned up in your business…  Take this time to recognize ideas that need to be eliminated and adjustments that need to be implemented.  At the end of the month an unexpected business opportunity may present its self.  Do the streamlining now so you have room to embrace what is coming.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19:

There is so much shifting and changing in your life right now Capricorn (Tiger Woods, Mel Gibson, Jim Carey, Betty White, Ricky Martin).  The New Moon in Taurus on May 13^th will be in your house of your self-expression.  How are you expressing yourself these days?  Are you expressing yourself through the guise of an old belief system?  The New Moon on the 13^th will support you in re-aligning yourself with who you really are and how you would like your truest self-expression to be.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18:

Mars (passion) has been draining your energy for the past 6 ½ months.  He will be leaving your opposite sign of Leo on June 7^th which will then help to get the passion and drive back into your life.  Mars has also been holed up in your house of partnerships (business & personal) which can manifest in the form of arguments, competition and independence.  Have you been feeling misunderstood…  The tide will shift soon and you will get back to a little more peace in your close relationships.

Pisces February 19 – March 20:

At the end of the month (May 31^st – June 14^th) Jupiter (good luck & abundance) and Uranus (surprise) will come together in your money house.  This will be a great time to set up business meetings, join networking groups, put yourself out there and expect the unexpected!  For Pisces born March 17^th-21^st Saturn (responsibility) is back one last time to challenge the decisions you have implemented in the past six months.  Be open to making adjustments and fine tuning what has been placed in motion.

Aries March 21 – April 19:

Aries (Jessie James, Tiki Barber, Kate Gosselin) have been going through some pretty tough stuff but Aries is the sign of the warrior and you will get through this time of Saturn (lessons) opposing your Sun Sign.  The key is to not play the victim but to own your responsibility in the situation.  Whether the issues involve relationships, finances, or family they are presenting themselves for you to gain wisdom and mature from your mistakes and oversights.  Jupiter (good luck & abundance) will be moving into Aries June 5^th which should help to give you some welcome relief.

One of the key truths to The Law of Attraction is to feel what you want to manifest.  Most people want to think and logically make things happen.  Thinking and bringing clarity to your desire is part of the process but the magical part is to feel what you want to manifest.

As an exercise, I thought it would be great to use the moon cycle to aid in the manifestation process.   And since the New Moon (planting seeds of intention) in Aries starts today (April 14, 2010) this is the perfect day to begin the Law of Attraction Moon Manifestation!   In astrology, the Moon is the feeling and instinctual energy of the zodiac.  The Moon is also the fastest moving celestial body in our zodiac and it takes approximately one month to cycle through all 12 signs.

To start your month long manifestation exercise, you will first want to have an intention.  For me, as I’m sure for many people these days, I started with the intention of financial growth.  The next step is to know where the moon is everyday to align yourself with that moon’s instinctual emotional nature.  Then every day, whether it’s first thing in the morning, the last thing you do before you go to bed,  or anytime in between, you will feel your intention being already so.  For example, imagine, visualize and feel yourself enjoying financial abundance.  The moon sign of the day will give you direction on how to activate the emotional and instinctual energy of the day.  Listed below are the Moon signs, key words for that sign, and an example to help you activate your intention for the day.  You can always go to my Facebook page and I will have listed what sign the Moon is in for the day.

Aries Moon – Physical movement -  An example would be for you to jump up and down with excitement knowing and feeling that you received a new client or got that raise you were waiting for.

Taurus Moon -  Material possessions – An example would be for you to write out a check to yourself for the money you want to see and feel coming into your bank account.

Gemini Moon – Communication – An example would be to write your intention, create a mini vision board or join a networking group aligned with your career or work.

Cancer – Nurture – An example would be to consciously be in gratitude and feel that you are taken care and all your bills are paid.

Leo – Self expression – An example would be for you to create a song for your financial abundance and sing it with feeling.

Virgo – Being of service – An example would be for you to give of yourself to a friend, a family member or a charity, whether it’s in the form of time or money knowing and feeling that your finances are taken care of.

Libra – Partnership – An example would be for you to share your intentions with the people closest to you.

Scorpio – Introspection -  An example would be for you to go deep within and examine and feel what may be blocking your success so you can release it and financial abundance can re-fill that space now vacant.

Sagittarius – Optimism -  An example would be for you to know and feel that the right person or the right opportunity or that lucky break is on the way.

Capricorn – Discipline-  An example would be for you to do the things you have been putting off or resisting so that frustrating energy can be released to allow the abundance to flow in.

Aquarius – Innovative -  An example would be for you to take time to pay attention to the ideas and solutions that reveal themselves throughout the day and feel their possibility to solve your financial problems.

Pisces – Spiritual – An example would be for you to pray, meditate and be in gratitude that your intentions are heard and feel and see your financial abundance manifesting.

By doing this one month exercise you should experience a change in your life. But keep in mind, what you put into this is what you will get back.  In addition, my examples are just that, examples, feel free to be creative and do what works for you.  Also realize another aspect of this exercise is to rid yourself of blocks, control and old patterns of behavior so something new and exciting can manifest.  Therefore, sing, dance, move and loosen up to raise your vibration!  You never know what miracles are waiting for you…  Please contact me about your experience with the Law of Attraction Moon Manifestation exercise; I would love to hear from you.
