Horoscope for the week beginning May 6
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
The Aries New Moon cycle was a stormy one, but now it is complete. It hosted a conjunction with the Sun, Moon, and Uranus. Positively, like a powerful storm complete with lightning and thunder it has served to clear the air. Then, it culminated in a Full Moon in Scorpio which was destined to manifest the potent charge of ‘energies’ implied.
Now the Moon is new in Taurus. While not as evidently potent, it too must be regarded from a holistic perspective to be fully appreciated. This New Moon contains within it what may be deemed the aftershock effects of the initial detonation. In some respects, it is this powerful 360-degree wave that produces much more noticeable and protracted effects. Get ready, the energetic output over the next several weeks will be big, very big.

May 6 – 12
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Balancing a feeling of restlessness with a desire for stability is a central theme now. Expect your concentration levels to deepen. You will effectively plant your feet on the ground more firmly as if to push a heavy object. If successful and a momentum builds, your resolve will increase and you will push harder with each step.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
You are ready and determined to advance your position. Looking back over the past few years, you will notice that you have and continue to change both inside and out, noticeably. You will also be aware that turning back is not an option. So, forward it is and while your resolve may be shaken, it is hardly broken.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Stepping back to rest and re-centre continues. What is implied is the likelihood that you are contending with outer obstacles, situations, and people, some of whom may well be described as antagonists. Accepting responsibility for your part in this episode of your life, avoid reaction and minimize response even, allowing time to work for you.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
The time has come to express yourself, to invest your energies in new ways. A process of re-evaluation is indicated as well, call it unlearning. Some may describe it as unraveling. Either way, the natural urge to move forward requires that you let go and leave behind stuff, attitudes, perspectives… that have served their time.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
A process of rebuilding your confidence is underway. Some cycles simply support us to be more in our mojo, some call it the flow, others the zone, in other traditions, the Tao. Yet some cycles require more patience, more inner work, like now perhaps. Review, revise and refine, slow down and take your time, yet be precise.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You are in something of a philosophical mood. Looking both inwardly and stepping back to see a bigger picture is featured. In some respects, you want to get to the bottom of things. In other regards, the need to confront lingering fears head-on feels important. Friends may not be so easy to come by, pushing you to access your sense of self-worth.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Getting clear can occur in a variety of ways and on numerous of levels and on any of a number of fronts. Whichever ones are active for you, spring cleaning is on your mind. On the other hand, this can refer to knowing what you want and need and who represents a realistic connection, a viable prospect.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Sometimes our relationships with others get shaken and stirred. This may be one of those times. The good news is that something new is being conceived. The catch is that you may have to pay another round of dues. These may not necessarily be money, but learning, effort and/or commitment.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A breakthrough period continues. You have to persevere now to succeed and this implies extra efforts. Yet, you will have to pace yourself lest you go hard and burn out prior to realizing your goals. Patience and trust are two of the timeless champions that you may especially need by your side.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Your creative juices should be flowing steadily now. You are in the mood to play, to entertain and be entertained. Like art class in high school, the pressures are not so high. Your main challenge is to be present in the moment and to be free from the thoughts, feelings and possibly regrets of past experiences.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Establishing a secure and satisfying foundation close to home continues. Spring cleaning makes sense but you want to go the extra distance and raise the level of beauty as well. The inspiration you seek from your uplifted living space is quietly motivated by practical goals and considerations as well.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You are learning to see the world as with new eyes. The future beckons and requires that you incorporate strategies that you have not tried before. These will likely require new perceptions, interpretations and philosophies altogether. Activate a new set of reliable principles into your thoughts and actions, especially in your public and/or professional life.
