Horoscope for the week beginning May 13
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
A healing cycle is underway. It may be described as the calm after a storm. The light of the Sun dramatically shining through heavy clouds producing prismatic gleams and numerous hues of colour reveals the beauty within all experiences; that the sun is always shining above the clouds. This cycle can be described as the follow through and after math of the Aries New Moon triple conjunction back on April 8, which included Uranus intricately woven into the plot. That Uranus remains in close, hard aspect to Pluto deepens the gravity exponentially.
Yet, now it is time to heal and repair, to cultivate and to sow. Re-centring, recalibrating, renovating, rebuilding and so on are central themes. These are all reflections of the six planets retrograde at the time of last week’s New Moon in Taurus. Since then, Jupiter has turned direct but the fact that it was retrograde in the New Moon chart indicates that its retrograde influence will continue like a lingering echo or the scent of smoke, even after the fire is out.
In this Universal 9-Year, we can expect the deep purging process to continue, however. Nothing will happen unless it needs to, on a personal level. But since the influence occurs on a social and collective level as well, we can expect the drama to continue. Such years produce endings, completions, and graduations in preparation for the new round of nine years that begins on January 1, 2017. Reflect upon how these themes are working in your life and focus to engage cooperatively.

May 13 – 19
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Your passions are running strong, your desires deep. Despite a wild mix of emotions and sensations, you remain able to keep a steady focus. Your confidence levels are sustained due to past performances. Yet, you are determined to break free from accumulated patterns over the past several years.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
You are undergoing deep changes, steadily and surely. At moments, you may wonder who you are compared to the person you knew a year or so ago. As change comes harder for your sign than others, every day these days may feel more stressful. Circumstances of late may not afford you the luxury to reflect as you are called to lead.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
The inclination to lay low for a while continues. Interactions with others these days may be more complicated than usual. This may be the source of frustrations and impatience and a source of conflict. Fortunately, your confidence levels are running pretty high these days. Slow down, listen and empathize more.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You are in an inventive mood and your originality is standing out. Deciphering whether your dreams and schemes are real or whimsical whirls in your mind is the other side of the story. Balancing the scales between giving to others and taking the time and space you feel you need is part of the plot.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Adapting to a slower pace remains in the spotlight. Yet, things are brewing in your public and professional life. By now circumstances are leading you to make some important key choices and decisions. You may feel as though you are against the wind as your confidence levels rise and fall as if to a steady, rhythmic beat.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You have embarked on what may be described as a soul-searching journey. Negatively, it may seem like you are lost, groping in a fog. Be patient with yourself and this cycle as it stands to linger longer than you might expect, as in about 10 days, or so. Avoid making big decisions, investments and purchases for now if you can.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
A rather deep investigation into what’s important, what you want, need and value continues. Learning and unlearning too is contributing to fluctuating energy levels. The focus may be upon making key purchase and investments. Accessing your own host or talents and resources and/or reaching out to access those of others is featured.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A new chapter in your relationship life has begun. It does come with a few added twists, however, that defy the obvious and matter-of-fact. As is often true, at least for you, various levels of complexity come with the package and this time there stands to be a few extra yet. Focus to be authentic, mere platitudes will not suffice for long.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A time of improvement and refinement is underway. This cycle will only last a few weeks but it implies a process of constructive criticism directed especially at your work ethic and lifestyle in general. As you focus this way you will likely notice where you can do and be better. While the efforts are your own, so too are the rewards.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
A peak in your creative inspiration zone continues to inspire you to respond. Whatever you deem creative work or art is front and centre. There is a therapeutic aspect to this theme. As you engage you will experience relief, satisfaction, healing… With so much going on behind the scenes you may need this sort of soothing outlet.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Establishing a secure base continues. Whether in your home or psychologically, you yearn to feel more grounded, productive, progressive and prosperous. Returns for past efforts are likely coming in, but you may have to step back to clearly see and acknowledge them. For the next round, outline your dreams and desires to activate your manifestation magic.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Seeing yourself and the world and in the world in new ways continues. This very process, necessary as it is, may also be a cause for delay. Circumstances are pushing you to balance patience with perseverance. If all you are doing is making room for new perspectives, strategies and approaches, they you are moving forward.
