Mercury in Gemini
Through July 10

Mercury moved into Gemini on Friday ...
and is coasting along at quite a rush. No surprise there.

But that's about to come to a screeching halt as Mercury retrogrades in Gemini this month ... beginning May 26. So we're in for a long, long time of Mercury enjoying the comforts of one of the signs it rules. Let's call this his country home ... because in Gemini, Mercury really loves to romp and play!! We'll get plenty of opportunity to do that right alongside him this year. So, if you love learning, reading, talking, writing, concocting ideas, working with your mind, solving problems, inventing stuff and just plain old getting around to see what's new -- you are in for some lovely treats!!

When Mercury is in Gemini, the mental energy is some of the purest, most uncorrupted you'll ever find. ... content deleted ... This material and contemporary forecasts are available by subscription in our Premium Members site. Join our Astrology and Tarot Premium Membership today!!

Daily Lunar Horoscope Forecast for Monday 5th of May 2008

(Date and Times are based on Mountain Daylight Time.
Look at Denver at The World Clock - Time Zones
to see what time it is now where we are.)

From 6:18 AM:
The New Moon in Taurus is a double dose of stability, grounding, and focus on the practical use of material resources. The predominant energy now shifts from starting new projects and ventures ... to finding the money and other support these efforts will need in order to flourish.

From 4:05 PM:
A steady, placid, comfortable atmosphere settles into place, as your thoughts turn to practical matters ... like money, love, sensory pleasures, and enjoying life's luxuries. The chance for an unusual diversion may arise ... or the inspiration for some quiet treat that you savor by yourself or in the company of very special others could strike your fancy.

This energy supports special freedoms, unique delights, and the deep appreciation of both physical and emotional bliss. It's a rare moment of just "letting you be yourself" ... whatever that takes, whatever that means ... so welcome it with the gratitude it deserves.

From 5:16 PM:
Your mood is stable, sensible, and extraordinarily pragmatic. You want more profit and solid results from the work you do ... and you're willing to put in plenty of effort to make that happen. Life's opportunities and inspirations show you exactly how to invest yourself, your time and your resources to gain your goals. Listen to the oh-so-prudent wisdom of your heart and mind ... and move forward with confidence.

From 8:05 PM:
The responsibilities you have to produce resources (like money!) drag up fantasies of a richer, more luxurious and comfortable life, more freedom to "just be yourself," and more ideal conditions all around that reality just will not support. The gap between what you want and what you've got can seem especially gloomy now.

Venus in Taurus trine Saturn in Virgo
Trine Pluto in Capricorn
Now part of the Grand Earth Trine
Early through Mid-May

Ok ... let's play catch-up for a few issues here as we all soak up and enjoy the lovely New Moon in Taurus energy that arrived this morning. After all, Taurus energy invites us to settle back, have a little something nutritious to drink, indulge our minds in treats of light entertainment (something educational is a bonus, but not at all necessary!!), and savor life's "be here now" moments of rest and physical delight. Rushing around in the heat of the day just because the New Moon has arrived is not at all Taurus' style. So, as I said ... pull up a chair. Take a deep breath. And set a spell. We have some nice little goodies to talk about today.

First of all ... as promised, as this lovely Dark-of-the-Moon week-end arrived to give us all a few day's of nice rest, Venus moved into Taurus, joining The Sun in that sign, just as Moon prepared to follow in her footsteps ... and Mercury headed for the exit in to Gemini. And immediately upon arrival, Venus took up the all-important place of honor in the Grand Earth Trine presently in the spotlight ... in the sky.

We've talked already about the ingredients of this pattern ... ... content deleted ... This material and contemporary forecasts are available by subscription in our Premium Members site. Join our Astrology and Tarot Premium Membership today!!

Venus ... now the Taurus component of the Grand Earth Trine ... brings the promise of ... content deleted ... This material and contemporary forecasts are available by subscription in our Premium Members site. Join our Astrology and Tarot Premium Membership today!!

You'll actually work at this in several phases over the next few years. This is just "where it begins." Soon. Mercury, as I said is moving into Gemini .. where ideas and information about how to make this happen will arrive like spring rain -- all through May and June. Also ... as I said, starting soon. Be there ... or at least be awake ... when it happens!!

The Grand Earth Trine formed around 1° of the signs.

See below for glyph meanings.

Once again ... if you have Natal Chart placements near 1° of any sign several areas of your life are poised to go into high gear! As always, the location by sign and house of these extra Natal placements will describe the components of the current action -- and show just what's happening where and why.

We'll be hitting the Jupiter trine, the Uranus sextile and the Mars sextile real, real soon. This spells action with a capital A. (You know that extra rest you got this past week-end??? Be grateful you got it. And if you didn't ... shame on you!! You'll need it.)

The outlook today ...

The Moon is in Taurus.

The Moon in Taurus, brand-spanking-new today promises steady progress and an upswing in the emotional climate as this practical, determined energy takes hold and begins its tenure for this year. Enjoy it while you can. The workday tomorrow starts with the Moon in Gemini, which brings a much livelier pace. With all the Earth and Water energy in the sky now, we're looking for slow, steady gains and long-term profits. Let your intuition be your guide.

People demand freedom of speech to make up for
the freedom of thought which they avoid.

Venus in Taurus
Through May 24

Venus has moved into Taurus.
It will travel there until May 24.

Venus has moved into Taurus ... one of the signs it rules (Libra is the other) ... and where it is far happier, though less rambunctious, than in its transit through Aries. It will travel here until May 24. When Venus is in Taurus, people are affectionate, placid, dependable, and conservative in their relationships. They show compassion, devotion, loyalty, stability, patience and kindness in their treatment of others -- and they express affection generously ... often with gifts or luxuries. ... content deleted ...

Daily Lunar Horoscope Forecast for Friday 2nd of May 2008

(Date and Times are based on Mountain Daylight Time.
Look at Denver at The World Clock - Time Zones
to see what time it is now where we are.)

From 3:34 AM:
You're in a lazy, laid-back mood, ready for a little down-time and anything that doesn't require much effort. Best of all, you'll come up with a raft-load of self-indulgent ideas on how to pass the time, all within easy reach of both hand and budget, where you can actually do instead of just dream.

From 6:24 AM:
Your mood is boisterous, pushy ... and you are ready to make some tracks -- to get further down the road ASAP. But fundamental changes in your direction and ultimate destination interfere with these exuberant plans, may keep you stalled a while -- and add to your impatience. But a false start will only delay your progress more. To know where you're heading in the first place is a fundamental piece of getting somewhere in anybody's book.
