Horoscope for the week beginning May 12
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
As promised, this week’s horoscope will bring special attention to what can ‘generally’ be expected for each sign from the cycle of the Moon’s Nodes in Leo and Aquarius. This 18-month cycle (May 9, 2017, to November 6, 2018) presents a significant backdrop to all other cycles. Its influence is subtle yet certain. The outer synchronicities can be measured, but they are invariably part of a more extensive list of influences. It can be compared to tasting a particular ingredient in a recipe that blends with many others, so one must have a ‘refined palette’ to decipher the special flavour and influence it produces.
The main thing to watch for, generally, is a measurable increase in the scale and scope of drama in the world. As well, it will activate ego-assertion. This can certainly manifest as inflated self-importance and even megalomania, which is already quite widespread in the world, as should be expected in this Age of Aquarius. Positively, however, it can also activate people to bring forth more fully what makes them special and these gifts and qualities can have a very positive contribution.
There is more to say so stay tuned!
May 12 – 18
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
The North Node in Leo is an invitation to identify what makes you extra special. This can activate an interest in art or performance. Any mode of creative activity that supports the expression of latent abilities and talents that you feel passionate about will begin to stir now. Tune in and catch this exciting wave early to make the most of it.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Hopefully, over the past year and a half, you were able to identify your creative gifts and passions and begin to develop them more fully. Now it is time to enter into the next effective phase of developing them. Outer recognition is not as important now. It is time to enter the studio, study, laboratory or cave to hone your craft.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The time has come to more fully share your intuitions, visions, philosophies and inventions with the world. The past 18 months have been a time of refinement and cultivation of your gifts. Now it is time to share them. This could also manifest as wanderlust and journeys to new places. If you can weave both, bonus!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The North Node in Leo will invite you to establish a more solid foundation. This may well include new ways of earning a living. It could also manifest as building a financial portfolio. Either way, this will require more deliberate focus and less wishful thinking. Seek answers, strategies and advisors and coaches.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The Lunar North Node in your sign will activate your leadership initiative and independence. Increasing the scope and, hopefully, the quality of your influence is emphasized. You will feel inspired to take risks and will likely go big; bigger than you ever have before. Some of your choices and actions may even be radical.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
The North Node in the 12th House is summoning you to go within. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve a deepened state of communion with yourself and life in general. This process also includes dissolving mental and emotional patterns, which, for the sake of security, you developed over the years. Get ready to dive deep to dissolve subconscious blocks and barriers.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22)
You are being invited to increase your awareness of and exposure to others. This can include simply acknowledging individual differences. Yet it can reach wider to new involvements with groups, clubs and friend networks. If it is your destiny, you will even feel inspired to become globally aware and determined to make a difference.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The time has come to take your place among others in positions of leadership and responsibility. At least you will feel the desire to be more fully recognized for your talents and contributions. Activating a greater sense of maturity and integrity in all your interactions is featured. Step forward to be seen and heard.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
It can seem ironic that our higher mind is located at our heart center or chakra. It refers to living our truth, or following a path with heart, or feeling deeply committed to a higher cause, principle or teaching. It can also be described as visionary or seeing a bigger picture. One of or ‘all of the above’ can apply.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You have entered a powerful cycle of change that will unfold over the course of the next 18 months. It could prove very positive and just what you want and need. However, if you are unaware and resistant, your life could get very complicated. This change has to do with laying full claim to your gifts and talents.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your relationship life is about to take on a whole new meaning. Get ready to get more involved and committed. Since this invariably includes communications, focus on making extra efforts and making improvements as necessary in this department. Patience, diplomacy and a willingness to merge your time, energy and focus with that of others will be required.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
The time has come to make the beautiful dream a beautiful reality. You will be required to build confidence by way of concentration and determination. Focus on bringing your inspirations into material form to serve others and to perpetuate good health. A detailed, intelligent, and refined approach towards developing practical skills to meet your material needs is highlighted.
