General

April 2008

General Information - As the month opens, it is very busy and not always a good busy. Fortunately, all the inner planets are direct which means you wont’ have to constantly redo or rethink your decisions. And with most of the planets in cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, we are going to be direct, a bit impatient and maybe moving faster than what is good for us. Count to ten a lot and remember everybody is mired in their own ego needs.

Tense days are the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 10th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and the 29th. Positive days are the 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 21st, 25th 27th and the 28th.

The Sun enters the sign of Taurus on the 19th, Mercury enters Aries on the 2nd, Venus enters Aries on the 6th and the rest of the planets remain in the signs they are in. Mars is in Cancer, Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn, Saturn in Virgo, Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius.

May 2008

General information - Our good friend Mercury is going retrograde on the 22nd. Let’s get all of our new projects started, cars bought, and computers purchased before that date. After that time you will have to wait until June 22nd to purchase things. And Saturn, planet of work and discipline goes direct on the 2nd and Jupiter goes retrograde on the 9th. Both of these planets tend to affect the economy. Saturn will slow things down a bit and Jupiter won’t be able to help stimulate people to over come things. Neptune will also go retrograde on the 26th influencing us to look within for our spiritual connections.

The new Moon on Cinco De Mayo will be in Taurus and remind us to indulge our physical pleasures and take care of our desire nature. The full Moon on the 18th in Scorpio will remind us to share with others and how we feel about those who don’t.

The Sun begins the month in Taurus and moves into Gemini on the 20th. Mercury begins the month in Taurus but quickly moves into Gemini on the 2nd and remains there until July. Venus is in Taurus, her home sign, until she also moves into Gemini on the 24th. Mars finally finishes his journey through Cancer and moves into fiery Leo on the 9th. The rest of the planets are happy in the signs they are in.

Days to indulge in avoidance behavior are the 3rd, 13th, 14th, 19th, 20th, 22nd, and the 26th. Days to get up and greet the Sun are the 1st, 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th, and the 21st.
