The week starts with opportunities for success in any endeavor if you put some effort into it. By Wednesday your energy level may drop, and your body will be in need of a day off. So, make the most of Monday and Tuesday this week for accomplishing something that you really want. People will be more open and receptive then.
We are heading towards a powerful full moon on the 19th, which begins to feel like a wave that is swelling as the weekend arrives. Saturday can be challenging and throw you off balance; be careful of accidents with sharp metal objects.
Sunday is the Festival of Pan, and the planetary aspects favor having a good time! Enjoy music and nature, have a party with interesting people. Travel to somewhere you have never been and explore new vistas. It is an excellent day for meeting people of different backgrounds and lively interaction.
The weekend may bring an event concerning the ongoing Olympics turmoil. The issue of standing up for minority rights in Tibet may either gain more momentum or come to a rapid end.
Monday, May 12 and Tuesday, May 13
Sun trine Jupiter
Sun sextile Uranus
An excellent period of opportunity is available to you now, if you use it. If you want to make something happen, the planetary energies these two days will help you achieve it. By Wednesday, the energy dissolves into a hazy fog, where your plans just don’t come together. So, make the most of these two days. The opportunity period is from Monday 12:30 pm through Wednesday morning.
People can be generous and helpful, and it’s a good time to meet with influential people. Between 1:30 and 3 pm on Monday, you will feel things much more powerfully, as your emotions intensify. If you are passionate about something and get other people to respond, it can be rewarding. You could focus to the point of obsession about it. Be careful about coming on too strong.
Put your best foot forward because you may be noticed by others. If you are doing a good job or doing a poor job, a spotlight may be on you. Consider what kind of recognition you want. Remember to give credit to others and recognize their efforts. You have a strong need to communicate about what you are feeling or others may feel like expressing their feelings to you. Tuesday evening—after 8:00 pm—it is time to relax.
Wednesday, May 14
Moon void-of-course all day
Sun square Neptune
Better get up early if you want to accomplish something. After 9:00 am the energy seems to lose its momentum. Ideally, it is a great day to stay home and create. Get inspired with a project that uses the right side of your brain, which is intuitive rather than rational.
Thursday, May 15 and Friday, May 16
Moon in Libra
Meetings with others can go smoothly these two days, since the ability to use tact and diplomacy is heightened. It’s a great time for friendly discussions, sharing ideas with others. You may feel a shift in or different energy which you should use to visualize something you really want to bring into your life.
Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18
Moon enters Scorpio
Venus square Nodes and Chiron
Moon is now in the most intense of signs, where you feel everything deeply. Events involving money or love predominate on Saturday, and probably a major lesson resulting from it. Another possibility is that you may feel a need to change your lifestyle or your personal “look” in a radical way. Someone in your life may be influencing you strongly. Late in the afternoon on Saturday, be careful of accidents around the house particularly if handling sharp metal objects. It is also possible that you find yourself annoyed or involved in some sort of conflict with someone, releasing tension.
Sunday is a great day to throw a party! The moon is almost full and feelings are running high. It’s good day to meet people of different cultural backgrounds. Socialize with interesting people today, and/or travel beyond the places you usually go with someone that stimulates you. This is just not a day for boring routine; it’s a day for connecting with other people and getting out of a rut.
Enjoy yourself Sunday because Monday will be rough going… People will be having a difficult time of it. More on that in next week’s column.
