Horoscope for the week beginning May 10
Tip of the week
This Solar Eclipse in Taurus is special because it hosts a Lunar Eclipse on either side. This is not an entirely rare event, but one that merits some special attention.
Eclipses are like supercharged New and Full Moons. They synchronize with larger scale changes than the usual Lunation Cycle. The whole picture of this ‘Annular’ Solar Eclipse offers an interesting and complex seed theme. (An Annular Eclipse does not simply imply that it occurs annually. It means that while the Moon does exactly cross over the Sun, its distance is further away from earth than during a Total Solar Eclipse thus producing a neat effect of a black disc with an orange ring around it.)
So, the Sun/Moon conjunction occurs in Taurus, and since Venus rules Taurus and it is in Gemini where Jupiter is as well, this lends a positive perk to the picture. Jupiter and Venus are two of the brightest lights in the sky and popularly referred to as ‘lucky stars’. However, Mercury is also in Taurus in close alignment with the Sun and Moon forming an aspect called ‘combust’ which suggests that perceptions are ‘blinded in the light’. This tends to produce strong, subjective opinions. The fact that Mars is also in Taurus and in close alignment with Mercury suggests that these opinions will be stubbornly asserted.
The Gemini factor suggests that this will produce a lot of news, communication exchanges and gossip. Thanks to the Internet, we live in a time of unprecedented exchanges of ideas, perceptions and opinions so it could get ‘drowned out’. But if it was actually graphed it would reveal a spike lasting three to four weeks. The changes that eclipses activate, however, last a lifetime. Tune-in and cooperate with this sharp cycle of change.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Planting season has arrived! The seeds may be literal or they may be that of plans, goals and dreams of all sorts. Since so much variety is spicing-up your life these days, your garden likely has many features. Yet, the changes you are undergoing are truly metamorphic. Cooperating so that you gain from it makes good sense.
What makes sense to you now, in the bigger picture of you plans? While common sense has its place, what you specifically want now is good sense. Your aim includes distinction, a unique feather in your cap. So what will give you that niche edge or solution? The spotlight is on you. Take charge yet keep your eyes and ears open.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Concerted efforts to establish a more secure foundation asks that you replace at least some features of existing ones. This is probably happening anyway. These are prompting you to take risks, to step faithfully into the unknown. Some promising seeds are germinating, yet there may be some delays. Exercise patience and point your imagination positively.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
The future beckons and it includes a more stimulated social life. Whether at work or at school, new mates are entering your stage. The flow of change now implies creative investments. Feeling more confident about the future may not be a luxury you feel just now. Avoid over analysis but do keep a philosophical perspective.
Opportunities present in your career and public life are very likely now. Yet as ever it is important that you take a strategic and realistic approach. This includes having a plan backed by an inspiring vision of the future. This will include consciously and deliberately overcoming silent fears. Share your dreams with trusted allies for support.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You are in a scouting mood. This means gaining a vantage to see far and wide. You want to nip the realities of current change in the bud so they don’t bite you in the butt! The time is right to make some expansive moves in your career. Yet, while taking a few risks is implied keep them sober and calculated.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Taurus is the sign of talents and, resources, money, possessions and priorities. What is important and valuable generally boils down to needs over wants. Yet, having a healthy balance of the two is a key to happiness. Balance is the keyword and it pertains to the quantity and quality of input related to return. Such weighing is on your mind.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Making key investment for the sake of greater satisfaction in your relationship exchanges is now in focus. Both your personal and professional life is likely to be affected. Since some measure of compromise is likely, deciphering what to give in order to receive is the question. Commitment earns long-term results. Yet, to whom and/or what do you feel so devoted?
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A daily routine of discipline in terms of health goes a long way and the opposite is true regarding lack. The word, ‘discipline’ can seem so limiting, so incarcerating and heavy. Yet, those are precisely the results of a lack of it! Many of the rules of religion are linked to health: don’t drink coffee, or alcohol or eat pork…. Good health is its own religion.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Wow, a Solar Eclipse in earthy Taurus with Mercury and Mars there too. And you, an earthy Capricorn; how will you harness its gifts? Perhaps you simply need to play more and invite more pleasure into your life. A creative impulse is indicated for you yet requires that you be willing to break through old habits.
Shifts close to home often bring change in our public life and the opposite is true too. You feel determined to establish new foundations for future dreams. Perhaps you are building your esteem and confidence levels, or adding to your level of education or maybe the changes are physical, in your body or literally in your home. Build it!
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
An invitation to new perspectives has been sent to you. These may be as simple as a new coat of paint. Yet, it is likely that they are extending to you career and social sphere. A mix of courage, vision and rebellion is the recipe to break free of the usual trance. A will to try new twists, angles and approaches will bring rewards.
