Horoscope for the week beginning May 24
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
This Full Moon on May 25 is a special one indeed.
Not only it is the fruition of the Solar Eclipse New Moon seed of May 9, it too is an eclipse. Eclipses pack an added charge compared to usual New and Full Moons. In the flow of things, they manifest as important decisions and pivotal events that coincide with major turns in people’s lives. Those most affected are those whose charts are specifically affected. Whether the affect will bring opportunities, break through, challenges or break down or a mix of the above or nothing much at all depends on the specifics of one’s Natal Chart.
The exact degree of this eclipse is 4 Sagittarius 08. Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces are in close alignment with this Full Moon and the Sun, so they are key contributing factors to the overall picture and influence as well. Another important factor is the fact that there are four ‘planets’ in Gemini Mercury and Venus, which are exactly conjunct at 19 Gemini (this conjunction is the mark of artistry) Jupiter and the Sun. So, we certainly are in the midst of some celestial shaking that many people are feeling and being affected by.
Generally, May 24 is recognized as the green light for planting the garden. Looked at another way, we are in the final month stretch leading up to Summer Solstice. So there are ever a variety of ways to interpret things. Some interpretations are more superficial and factual, some purely practical, some more technical and others yet more psychological and spiritual. Astrology offers a weave of all of the above and the impact of current alignments is certainly producing a rich, dynamic and perhaps dramatic mix of influences and activations now.
The best way to really understand these influences in your life is to have an in-depth reading.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A full spectrum on your to do list is keeping you busy now, perhaps too busy. Yet, it is also inspiring creative expression. In the weave will be social interests. In the bigger picture, deep changes continue to unfold. These are activating you to want to push through and beyond the existing status quo. Yet, it is important that you take an extra strategic approach.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Opportunities to enter new territory somehow are on your radar. An expansive time continues and for the sake of productivity and progress it is important that you be in-tune and responsive. This cycle began last year yet a resurgence of it is rolling in now. The good news is that these waves will remain steady. Take full advantage now!
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
An expansive and abundant cycle continues. Yet beyond sweet dreams it seems that it is genuine needs that want your attention. Feeling secure about it all may be a challenge. Health concerns, yours or those of significant others are on your mind. It may be that these are beyond your immediate control anyway. Still, an added measure of disciplined response is required.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Sowing the seeds of new friendships and associations is a current theme. Looking to the future, it probably feels important to be proactive and open-minded. This includes working behind the scenes. Drawing from your deeper well of faith in the changes that are unfolding is probably easier said than done. So, do your homework and clarify your options.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
A good deal of shifting is shaking your status quo. Your public and professional life is in focus. It is important that you take a visionary and creative approach. This includes reaching out to make key connections. This will require some innovation and extra diplomatic efforts for best results. The key is to decipher then clarify how your interests will benefit theirs.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
New visions and dreams are dancing in your mind. Yet your scope is very practical. This includes adjustments and changes close to home and in your profession. The path may seem clear yet it is not altogether obvious. Taking key risks is ideal yet it feels important that these be calculated ones. Extra efforts and research is required.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
The time has come to make some new moves in the money game. There may be more than just money at stake, but it is a central theme. This includes making investments and paying dues. What is coming up fast now is the prospect of travel, adventure and perhaps even relocation. You could go far and to great lengths to achieve your goals over the coming weeks.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Some promising new developments on relationship fronts are reason for excitement. You feel committed to realize your dreams. One of the bigger challenges includes deciphering clearly what you want and need. The main issue to overcome is sending out mixed messages. The other challenge involves deciphering the difference between the lower and the higher way.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Changes in your overall lifestyle continue to roll in. This includes your work and key relationships. Cultivating healthier rhythms is also a key theme. There are indications that you have and continue to enjoy some perks. This is an expansive cycle overall. Yet, the deep end includes clearing the old to make way for the new.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
A creative cycle has been a source of energy and inspiration for your ambitions. You have had to take some very calculated risks not all of which leave you feeling so confident. Are your efforts truly conducive to meet your needs? This sort of critical analysis is a sobering task. A review of your dreams and goals will lead you to make some key adjustments.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
The seeds of change have been sown very close to home. At best, these are inspiring you to take a few risks, perhaps even a leap of faith. The time has come to push through resistances, especially that of your own attitude and perspectives. Fortunately, this creative wave of risk venture will continue. The next step includes communicating your aspirations effectively.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Many thoughts, ideas and plans are on your mind. With your confidences running pretty high, the time is right to act upon them. Your entire philosophy of life and subsequent visions of what you want and what is possible is changing. You are ready to experience a whole new quality of connections. Trust what you feel you ‘should do’ and do it!
