Dynamo

Before 04/28/2024 to Apr 29

Mental and physical energies combine this week to make you a dynamo. You feel youthful and energetic, more alive than you have in months. You're clear-headed and quick-witted, active and smart. You're thinking and expressing yourself with clarity, speaking with conviction and successfully infusing your comments with jokes and humor. You even put your money where your mouth is by following through on all your promises without delay. Ideas flow easily from your brain out of your mouth or fingers in eloquent language, logical and sensible. Your enthusiastic delivery easily convinces others of your ideas, so this is an excellent time for sales and marketing, promoting yourself or making announcements. People will pay attention to your ideas and want to join your endeavors, something to take advantage of! Don't forget to keep up your exercise. You'll be so full of energy that it will likely be a necessity anyway, and you might even work out a little longer than usual to provide more of a physical outlet for your mental energy.

Offering Help, Near and Far

Before 04/28/2024 to May 12

Your spiritual life is emphasized during this period, and your interest is stimulated in philosophy, spirituality and all matters regarding the soul. You become more detached in your relation to the 'real world'; you're much more interested in exploring realms that you can't see. You feel very connected to other people, but on an invisible plane. Your compassion is aroused, and you strive to be helpful and assist wherever it is needed, from people in your neighborhood to folks across the world who are affected by any type of disaster. Faith increases as you open yourself up to the amazing web that connects every person to every other person. This invisible network takes your breath away and helps you to clarify your own place in the world -- not the world of ambition and mundane success, but the more important, spiritual world, which you can't see but you know it's everywhere. You desire knowledge, but not factual knowledge: Instead, you want to explore faith and spirit, and how they interact with religion. Your mind and heart are so involved with the unseen that you aren't vulnerable to the ego games that usually go on at work or in life. You're above all that!

Favorable Connections

Before 04/28/2024 to May 3 | Exact: May 1, 2024

You may find yourself feeling very affectionate this week, and particularly keen on expressing your feelings of warmth to the object of your affection. It's very likely that your declaration of love will be welcome and that it will lead to a good outcome, so be imaginative and creative when you communicate your warm feelings. Fortunately, your ability to express yourself is not limited to romantic gestures and proclamations. You thrive in all social situations, easily connecting with friends old and new, so this is an excellent time to throw a party and to accept all invitations that come your way. Lectures, discussions and music and art events are all highly interesting under this influence. Even business contacts are favored now, because not only are you thinking clearly, you have everyone's best interests in mind. Your selfless attitude enables you to create agreements and contracts that end up being favorable for all parties involved. You notice your immediate environment more than usual now and you can make quick, minor adjustments that improve the energy flow and appearance of your home and workplace.

Take Some Down Time

From Apr 28 to May 1 | Exact: Apr 30, 2024

These few weeks offer the perfect opportunity to reach out to someone you love, whether it's a friend, a family member or someone cute and special. Your ego has taken a back seat to your sympathetic side, and you're all ears for others' concerns, problems and thoughts in general. Also, you just want to connect and have fun with the people you love best. You're not too worried about being the center of attention now, and you're all about enjoying the people around you, so you'll be a favorite at work, parties and other get-togethers, because you're such a great audience! You're listening and tuning in well, and you're really demonstrating how much you appreciate your friends and coworkers. You're feeling much more helpful than usual, too; you might stay late at work to finish things up or do some extra housework to make it that much nicer for everyone. Just make sure that you don't start patting yourself on the back too much for your newfound compassion and helpful energy! This transit is relatively short, after all. Just do your good works and don't expect anyone's admiration or thanks -- especially not your own -- and you'll be fine.

Sun trine Mercury

A Clear Mind

From Apr 28 to Apr 30 | Exact: Apr 29, 2024

Your mind is perfectly clear this week, and you observe with unusual depth and clarity. Your words flow with precision and ease, from both your mouth and your hand, and you are able to absorb and relay information with incredible speed and fluidity. Your mind is working at subtle levels now, and you're able to grasp concepts that would normally elude you. Your intuitions are also humming; no matter who you come into contact with, you're able to read them accurately and figure out their needs, or their agenda, as the case may be. Doesn't it feel great to connect so easily? You can get your ideas across with such little effort, and you can understand your friends and coworkers so well, without even trying. Take advantage of this smooth flow of ideas; creativity is encouraged and listening is enhanced, and this can mean great things both in your personal relationships and at work. If you involved with any type of research or intensive study program, you'll find that your work goes exceptionally well this week, as you have a good grasp not only of details, but of the overall plan. Your timing's just right during this week or two, so take good advantage of it!

Energy, Effectively Applied

From May 6 to May 8 | Exact: May 7, 2024

Creating stability is your forte during this three-week transit. You're not expecting miracles, at work or at home; you know it's going to take some disciplined effort to bring about the things you're working toward. And right now, you're ready and willing to put in that effort, to the best of your abilities. You'll work carefully on a project or in reaching out to a prospective client, and you'll impress your boss and other associates with your steady, sensible approach. Your friends may come to you now for advice, because you're putting out the vibe that you've got a good head on your shoulders. At home, you'll keep the house clean and the checkbook balanced, and you'll feel calm and satisfied with the work you've done. Your physical energy is readily available to you, and you're probably not feeling nervous or excitable. Instead, you're just calm, steady, ready to take what comes and deal with it in an effective way. Getting out for regular exercise makes you feel wonderful now, so this is an excellent time to vary and improve your usual fitness routine. You'll be a model of focus and productivity at work, too. Energy, effectively applied, is the key right now.

Mercury trine Sun

Communicator Extraordinaire

From May 6 to May 8 | Exact: May 7, 2024

All systems are a go with this excellent, mentally stimulating influence. Your mind races, your writing flows and you speak with conviction and authority. Others listen when you talk. Utilize this time to schedule important meetings and conferences, because you'll be so effective in expressing your ideas and thought processes that you'll have everyone engaged and contributing their own ideas, which you easily handle and incorporate. Others understand you, and you're able to grasp what they're trying to say, even if they don't state their position clearly. You ask the right questions and hear the correct clues, so you're able to discern their thought processes. Your physical coordination improves along with your logic and mentality. This is an excellent time to practice word games and logic puzzles, as well as being physically active, which is a necessity if you're going to sleep well at night! Otherwise, your mind may be joyfully spinning with all the great ideas and concepts rolling around up there in your brain.

Venus trine Mercury

A Silver Tongue

From May 7 to May 8

If you can arrange a vacation this week, by all means, do so! You're feeling great and you just want to relax with people you love. Hanging out with friends is highlighted for you now; the conversation will flow and you'll easily make new connections wherever you go. You're able to express your feelings and your affection, as well as to articulate more intellectual concepts. You can also use your grace and tact in negotiations at work or between friends, appealing eloquently to both sides when people differ. Whatever your aim might be, you can bring it about just by being calm and persuasive. If you recently hit a dead end on a project that involved reaching out to someone -- a potential client, maybe, or someone special you've had your eye on -- give it another try this week. You're charming and appealing in the extreme now, and you'll likely get a better response. At any rate, enjoy this week, whatever you end up doing. Getting together in groups, going to places where the conversation can flow, is a great idea. Don't be surprised if you end up staying out late with someone interesting, tossing ideas and witticisms back and forth to your mutual delight!

Jupiter trine Pluto

Beyond the Self

From May 9 to May 21 | Exact: May 17, 2024

Your knowledge, personal power and resources will increase with little effort from you during this rare and powerful influence. The big test will be, who benefits from this increase? You will, certainly, but for the best results, it's time to broadcast your good fortune and skill to a wider audience. Although you may prefer to work alone during this period, group efforts are the way to go. That way, not only will your talents and skill be available to more people, but others may also have input and ideas that are a valuable addition to what you can offer by yourself. It's important that your work extends beyond your personal life. All in all, you feel quite good at this time, confident in your future and able to make needed changes in your life to ensure success for yourself. This will then ripple out to those near and dear to you. Your thirst for knowledge will likely increase at this time; you'll soak up information rapidly and you'll quickly reframe it so that it's useful to you. You are also able to teach effectively at this time, so if someone comes to you for your wisdom and advice, take this seriously and do your best to guide them.

Neptune trine Neptune

We are All One

From May 14 to May 27

This influence occurs when you're in your mid-fifties, and represents an increase in your compassion and an interest in the spiritual, unseen factors of life. You have enough life experience these days to realize that there's much more to human existence than you and yours; for best results, you must extend your gift of giving far beyond your immediate sphere. Your empathy is increased now, and you sincerely want to help make the planet a better place than it is now, in as far as you're able to have an influence. This calling may be subtle; there are those who are so involved with their daily life and 'getting ahead' that they ignore it completely, or fall into the opposite extreme of trying to escape from it, using their method of choice. But if you but listen to the small voice within, you'll be directed toward the correct ways to activate this energy for the greatest good. You are reminded of the principle that 'we are all one'; as you age, this idea takes on much more meaning than it had when you were young. Use this time to further develop your spiritual life, and to act in a way that expands your compassion beyond your usual sphere.

Sun trine Pluto

Dig Deep

From May 16 to May 18 | Exact: May 18, 2024

This is a good time to grab a task by the horns and get it done. You're not in the mood for any nonsense, and you're ready to clean up and clean out any long-standing problems you've been dealing with. Rededicate yourself to physical exercise now. You can easily see beneath the surface this week -- below the surface of the task, your relationships or any other aspect of your life. You require honesty now in all your interactions; you're looking for authenticity of emotion and experience, even if you're just buying groceries! Whether it's with someone you've loved a long time or someone you just met, someone in your personal life or related to your work, you want to connect at a deep and human level. This intensity will probably impress them; they'll appreciate how real you are, and how accessible. This is also a great time to get in touch with yourself as well as with other people. You'll learn more than you might think possible, just by writing in a journal or having a deep conversation with a friend; and these are lessons you'll take with you into your future. And whatever it is that you learn, it will help you to meet life with renewed vigor and determination.

Mars sextile Mars

Keep Ahead of the Game

From May 20 to May 21

You're an effective leader during this three-week period; your confidence is high, your energy humming. You're motivated to get things done, so rally your work team to get a push on that new project, or your neighbors for some group yard work or a fun social activity. Everyone will notice your high energy and your good mood, and they'll hurry to fall into step behind you. If you're in a leadership position, that's great; if not, you can still get people in your corner. The usual frustrations of your daily life won't bother you so much now. You've got a great attitude -- one of optimism and confidence, based on the fact that you can blast through any obstacle and you know it. And you'll have fun doing it! This is a great time to have some fun as well as working hard at the office. Organize a pickup basketball game or an impromptu group picnic, or take your dog (or your neighbor's) to the dog park and have fun connecting with the other canine-lovers. At the very least, keep up on your exercise program to provide an outlet for your abundant energy. If you play your cards right, you'll get a lot done around the house and at work, and you'll still be motivated to work out!

Venus trine Pluto

Creating a Deep Connection

From May 20 to May 22 | Exact: May 22, 2024

If you're in a relationship, don't hesitate to intensify and deepen it this week, because you'll be richly rewarded. You're feeling the intensity of your love for all the special people in your life in a brand-new way. You might even feel utterly overwhelmed by the power of your emotions! And so will they. You can easily sweep someone off their feet now, if you so desire. You can also express your love for that special someone through the physical act of love, which will be overwhelmingly intense for both of you. And if there's no one special on the horizon, that's okay too -- you'll revel just as deeply and happily in the emotional bonds that you share with your good friends and close family members. You might want to keep a journal now, because you're full of great insights into yourself, your own heart and your relationships. You might figure out something complex about yourself and the way you work with the people you love, or about your bond with your honey; or you might just start doodling and end up sketching out an amazing drawing! Your creativity is stimulated now, so give it an outlet. The same goes for the love you feel for other people.

Mercury trine Mercury

A Fresh Perspective

From May 22 to May 23

You're perceptive and playful for the next several days during this delightful transit. Your mind is stimulated with curiosity and fresh insights, delightfully pulling together facts and figures that may not seem to belong together, but which you somehow manage to weave together into wonderful new concepts. This fresh perspective helps you at work, particularly in meetings with others. You're a particularly clear communicator this week, not only imparting your own ideas with panache and finesse but demonstrating the ability to mind read other people in the room too. Somehow you're able now to grasp and articulate their ideas even when they're not able to themselves! Study, research, writing, outlining task lists for projects -- you handle it all with professionalism and ease this week. And when work is done, don't forget your friends! There's no better time to hook up with a group socially, what with your gift of the gab and your ability to connect with friends new and old. Play word games and do puzzles, too. You're sure to win!

Mars trine Venus

Advances in Relationship

From May 22 to May 25 | Exact: May 23, 2024

Love and physical affection are at the forefront during this three-week period. The current energy heightens your sexual passions, but not in a way that you can't handle, or that will get you into trouble. Instead, this is just a really nice time to show someone how you feel about them -- physically, if possible. If you're single, that might not be possible, and that's okay; you can easily and happily redirect your passions and accomplish an amazing amount of work. If your work is creative, this could be an especially productive time for you. But if you do have a steady partner, don't waste this opportunity to seduce them with your love! You can spread your good energy to the people around you, sparking up the good times for everyone. Fun social events are also highlighted at this time, as is your creativity. So don't stay home alone, especially if you're romantically unattached. Get out on the town; throw a party, or attend one; go to a nightclub and get hot and sweaty out on the dance floor with your friends. Who knows? Maybe you'll run into someone cute, with promise! And if not, you'll still have a memorable experience that you can look back on with a grin.

Mars trine Sun

Physical Prime Time

From May 27 to May 27

Refocus your efforts during this three-week period on a project that you've already started, such as your exercise program, competitive athletics or some other major physical task that still needs work, because your energy is running high and you've got extra stores of stamina that are coming seemingly out of nowhere. Not only are you physically primed now, you're also very much in touch with your opinions and values, and you're willing to talk about them in an open and animated way that won't offend anyone -- but also a way that will clearly represent who you are and what you stand for. Your assertion energies are up, too, and you have the ability to demonstrate leadership and make instant executive decisions, so if there is a business relationship you've wanted to further or a project you've been dreaming of helming, now's the time to step up to the plate. Now's your time to make things happen, so don't stay home, vegging in front of the TV. Your social life could pick up now too; you're projecting positive energy and people will probably flock to you like moths to a flame. So don't squander the energy and drive you feel during these three weeks!

Sun conjunct Saturn

Higher Standards

From May 23 to May 26 | Exact: May 25, 2024

This is a serious week, one in which you'll instinctively review your life, your goals and your past actions. You want to make sure everything is up to your high standards, so you will tend to be critical, looking for the negative instead of the positive. Although you may lack your usual physical energy, keep up your exercise routine. You're more focused now than usual, and will readily tackle mundane tasks that you ordinarily avoid, like balancing your checkbook or tying up loose ends on your projects at work. More than anything, you're concerned about the quality of your work. You hate to squander your energy, so you make a point to work hard and do a good job, and the results of your labor will be practical, high-quality and long-lasting. Working by yourself is more effective than trying to work with others. Business meetings are fine, because you're able to articulate goals and formulate a plan for achieving them, but social calls might be out for the time being, until you're more in the mood for fun and relaxation again. For now, it's good to buckle down, work hard and make sure you are still on the right path. You can have fun next week!

Venus conjunct Saturn

Grounded With Love and Money

From May 25 to May 27 | Exact: May 27, 2024

You feel practical this week in terms of love and money. This transit inspires a realistic outlook and an acceptance of the way things actually are. Finances might be on your mind, and relationships might too; whatever it is that you're thinking about, you're considering it in a serious way. This isn't a period for daydreams; it's more about taking stock of your life, and figuring things out for the future. You might draw up a new budget if you decide that your old one isn't working how you want it to, or you'll consider whether a personal relationship is going the way you'd like. You tend toward pessimism now, though, so before you make any rash decisions -- like taking on a second job, or breaking up with that sweet person you've recently been seeing -- ask someone for advice, and preferably someone older and more experienced than you are. They might have some good ideas for you that you never thought of, about how to manage your money, your time or your love life. Of course, you shouldn't take their word as the gospel, either! This period should be more about fact-gathering and hard work than about making actual changes or decisions.

Sick and Tired of 'Normal'

Before 04/28/2024 to May 17

Upsets and disruptions may be par for the course for you this year, due to this infrequent and unusual influence. You just don't feel quite like yourself. Restlessness and irritability greet you each morning when you wake up; you're sick and tired of your normal routine and feel rebellious when anyone asks you to do anything. You're tempted to quit your job, dump your relationships and change your entire life, including your appearance. The danger here is going too far with this impatient and erratic energy; it's very easy to take radical steps that you later regret when life returns to 'normal.' You may behave in a way that's far outside your normal parameters of behavior, in your effort to free yourself from what you perceive as limitations. Be cautious about taking steps that you haven't thoroughly considered. Give yourself some time to think things through, so you won't make any abrupt, irrevocable decisions. This is a good time to do things by yourself, because you don't have the patience to work with others. Your sense of freedom and independence is highlighted now, and others find you to be sarcastic and downright difficult to be around at this time.

Neptune opposite Pluto

Loss and Renewal

Before 04/28/2024 to May 7

This transit can have quite a dramatic influence on your life and that of your friends around your age, as it dissolves the power structures you've known in your life up to this time. People, situations and possessions that you're accustomed to may be lost now. Because you're so familiar with and most likely attached to these things, this influence can be quite disturbing, even to the point of affecting your health. There is often a sense of sadness and melancholy as the old forms pass away; unfortunately, the more you cling to these structures, the more difficult this experience will be. Sometimes, parts of yourself that you've long kept hidden will creep to the surface. This may be quite uncomfortable for you, because these qualities or interests are hidden because you felt they were improper, shameful, even evil -- although whatever it is, it's probably not nearly as bad as you think it is! The most straightforward path through this difficult period is to accept things that are coming to the surface now, and make every attempt to expand your world view to include a broader vision in which you play an important, if unrecognized, part.

Mars opposite Pluto

Thwarted Ambitions

Before 04/28/2024 to Apr 28

Your ambitions and goals are likely to be thwarted during this short-lived but difficult time -- or at least, you'll feel as if that's what's happening. You'll feel stopped short at every turn, as if the universe is against you and everything you're trying to make happen. But it's not that the universe is against you; in fact, it's a whole lot more likely that you're getting in your own way. You're seeing sources of conflict where they don't exist, and you're behaving aggressively with your friends and coworkers without even realizing it. You could really tick someone off at work if you take an unnecessary stand on a project, or out and about if you succumb to road rage or annoyance in the grocery checkout line. Furthermore, you're more obsessive now than usual; you could turn a certain idea or suspicion over and over in your mind, convincing yourself that it's true and a way bigger deal than it really is. Or, you might become obsessed with a certain person -- that special someone, perhaps -- and that's never a good thing! You could end up pushing them away, either by attending them too closely or by starting unnecessary arguments. Try to tone it down.

Sun square Mars

You're All Prickly

From May 3 to May 6 | Exact: May 5, 2024

Your fuse is short this week, and you may lose your temper a lot more easily than usual. You're coming on way too strong without even realizing it, reacting to the slightest provocations and making mountains out of molehills. Part of the problem is that you're unaware of your behavior. You think you're just being assertive, taking a stance or putting an opinion out there. But to your friends and coworkers, you're acting like a hothead -- and more than a little competitive. To them, the stances you're taking are unnecessary and unfriendly. The good news is, this energy should wear off in a week or so; as long as you don't burn any bridges before then, things will turn out fine. But don't be surprised if there are more than a few ruffled feathers that need smoothing over. Try especially hard to make a good impression on people who don't know you well; your close friends can take the occasional bad mood and rude comment, but it wouldn't be good to get cranky with your boss, a new client or out on a date with someone special. It may be best at work to stick to projects that you work on independently, so you can keep this prickly energy all to yourself.

Sun square Venus

Too Much Fun!

From May 6 to May 8 | Exact: May 7, 2024

Your self-indulgent energy surges this week, and your tastes are less refined than usual. Plus, you feel rich, even if you aren't! This is a fun time to try on new clothes, but go for secondhand -- you don't know your boundaries now, so it's best to avoid buying expensive new threads. Of course, that's easier said than done; you'll have a hard time saying no now, or practicing any kind of self-restraint. Getting a new haircut or trying out a new color might also be risky for you this week -- later, you might wonder what the heck you were thinking! You're way more in the mood for pleasure than for work, so you'll probably say yes to any invitations that come your way. Just don't be surprised if you have a little too much fun. Self-discipline gets locked in the closet this week. You don't want to finish that project at work, or clean the house or any of the other items on your to-do list; you just want to get together with your friends and live it up. Spending too much is likely, as is overeating or staying out too late. But don't worry; even if you wake up the next morning with a headache, late for work, you'll probably think it was worth it! Let's hope your boss does, too.

Jupiter opposite Jupiter

A Catalyst for Personal Growth

From May 10 to May 21 | Exact: May 14, 2024

Events and endeavors that you've set in motion in the past six years may be coming to a head now. In fact, more than one project may keep you busier than you actually prefer. You'll find yourself juggling tasks and feeling spread thin, so see if you can't call in some helping hands to assist you and make your load lighter. It's quite ironic, actually, because you're called to attend to your professional life at a time when you hear freedom's bell ringing in your ears. There's a certain part of you that would like to toss aside the many little jobs you're called upon to do, and head off for a vacation in Tahiti; but it's not time for that yet. For now, your energy and confidence must be turned toward the fulfillment of things you've already started. Fortunately, you feel energetic and optimistic, and so it's not a burden to pour yourself into your affairs during this rare transit. Someone may emerge now who is a catalyst for your personal growth; in some way, they challenge you to become more than who you've been. Your self-perception is changing, which automatically changes your actions and will soon manifest as changes in your outer world.

Sun square Sun

Temporary Challenges

From May 10 to May 12 | Exact: May 11, 2024

Your physical vitality and energy sinks now, and you don't feel as positive and easygoing as usual. You're on edge, irritable and sensitive to the least challenges or obstacles. You just feel thwarted, at work, at home and within yourself. Every effort you make seems to meet up with a brick wall, and whatever it is that you're working on -- a project, a relationship -- is being tested. This isn't the best time to start new projects, and especially not with a new team. They won't see things the way you do, and you'll probably end up doing more arguing than making any actual progress. You're much more likely than usual to butt heads with someone and to reject their good ideas just because they're different from what you came up with. You're also suffering from foot-in-mouth disease right now; your defenses are up and you're taking things much more personally than you should, which makes you lash out and say things you'll probably really regret later. Fortunately this transit is only temporary, so what appears bleak now should look a lot rosier in a week or so. Just be patient; soon things will be back on track.

Venus square Mars

Coming on Strong

From May 10 to May 12 | Exact: May 11, 2024

Don't push too hard this week for the things you've decided you want. Your ego energies are very forceful and you may not pay attention to signals from others to back off, or even just to tone it down. Whatever it is that you're pushing for -- a raise, a promotion, a new project at work, a date with someone you've got your eye on -- what you think is passion could come across to them as aggression, and that could blow the deal before you even get things going. Watch what you say with your friends, your loved ones or your sweetie; the space you're in could cause you to start arguments without meaning to, and any bridges you burn now will just have to be mended later, when your reason and judgment return. Why not turn all that excess energy and willpower toward your own projects, or toward a relationship with someone strong and dynamic enough to take the heat? You could have a lot of fun, provided that you find the right friend or potential honey to hang out with -- someone who won't just say 'How high' whenever you order them to jump. At work, if there's a project you can plug away at by yourself, you stand to make a lot of headway if you can channel that energy.

Mars opposite Uranus

Erratic Energy

From May 12 to May 15 | Exact: May 14, 2024

This could be a difficult few weeks, and you may not make any new friends. You're irritable and touchy, and your energy is the type where everyone around you is setting you off. Suddenly, you're taking stands on the silliest things -- and even in the moment, when you're spouting off to your coworker, your lover, your best friend, you're thinking, 'Why am I doing this?' But you won't be able to stop yourself, and you could really do some damage to your relationships, which that will have to be fixed later. At base, you're rebelling against any perceived restraints on your precious freedom. Suddenly, even simple things like instructions from your boss bring out your inner two-year-old -- on the inside, and maybe even on the outside, you're saying, 'But I don't want to!' Most of your attempts toward freedom will be met with some opposition, but the good news is, this can actually help you clarify and refine your position. You don't have to be aggressive about it. After all, it's not a bad time to strike out on your own, especially if you've already done some planning for it. Your physical energy will be erratic, however, so exercise within reason, and use more caution than usual.

Venus square Venus

Can't Say No

From May 13 to May 14

You're feeling self-indulgent now, spoiling yourself just for the sake of feeling like you have it all -- all the comforts, all the luxuries of life. Needless to say, it will be next to impossible for you to stick with the program this week; your diet, your work schedule and your exercise routine will probably all fly out the window in favor of spontaneous shopping sprees, lunches out with friends, dates with that special someone that last far too late into the night to get up on time the next morning... Anything that requires discipline and the focused application of energy just isn't going to happen now, because you simply can't seem to push yourself to try that hard. Though it's great to take a breather every now and again, you'll probably push it too far now because you don't know when to stop. You also might give in too easily on an important subject or project because you don't want to say no to anyone. Not wanting to rock the boat is not a good enough reason to let your inner pushover out to roam! The good news is, whatever does or doesn't happen this week, you'll probably have a good time; you're in too good and relaxed of a mood not to.

Don't Overdo It

From May 15 to May 17 | Exact: May 17, 2024

Situations can quickly escalate and get out of hand if you aren't at least a little bit careful this week. Usually this is not a bad thing, exactly; it's more just a matter of 'too much of a good thing.' You probably don't feel as self-confident as usual, which could convince you that your performance at work is lacking. Still, meetings and appointments could work out fine, because your intelligence and competence are still coming across to others -- even if you don't realize it. But your self-doubt could still be hard for you to handle, and forcing yourself out into the world isn't a great idea. Your standards are too high right now, both for yourself and your own performance as well as that of the people around you. You may come across as a self-righteous know-it-all, just because you're trying not to seem like an idiot! It might be smarter just to delegate your projects at work to other people so that you can get a little much-needed downtime. Connect with an old friend, someone who makes you feel good about yourself and reminds you that the world is a special place, and you're a very special part of it. That renewed sense of optimism will quickly be radiated back out to the world.

Judgment Call

From May 16 to May 17

This week, you're concerned with gaining other people's love and approval. You want everyone to get along and to look at you as the most attractive person in the room. That urge doesn't come from self-centeredness, either; you're actually feeling somewhat insecure. It's more important to you now that everyone likes you than anything else, and you could become a pushover as a result. Good thing this transit is relatively short and you'll return to your normal self in a week or two, because for now, your main concern is getting along; but honesty and authenticity could easily fall by the wayside. At work, you may push too hard for a project to go through that's not really a viable plan, or to make a connection with a potential client that's not really a match for the company, because you just want things to go well, and you want everyone -- your boss, your honey -- to smile upon you with approval. Try to be more realistic about things. You might also want to leave your credit card at home; you'll be sorely tempted to overspend on your appearance during this transit. Beware signs of self indulgence, and you'll be fine. Give a hug to someone you love.

The Expanding Universe

From May 18 to May 27 | Exact: May 26, 2024

You'll feel your spirit grow on a daily basis during this transit, and you'll feel ecstatic to be part of the expanding universe. You can be swept away by wild-eyed optimism and enthusiasm; feelings that will leave you vulnerable to being taken advantage of. You're so confident that your vision for the future will come to pass that you may fall for some fly-by-night scheme, completely ignoring the red flags that go up in the back of your mind; you'll also pay little heed to the warnings of your friends and those closest to you. You long to be free in every possible way, and from there it's a short step to trying to escape the everyday world, which seems very boring and humdrum to you during this influence. Some may escape into spiritual practice, others into service. Most of us, however, choose more mundane methods of avoiding the daily grind: We rent a bunch of movies, eat popcorn, surf the net. Whatever your method of choice might be, you must exercise extreme caution in all your activities, because your ability to limit yourself now is weak. For the best results, use this influence to see the good in others, but don't allow yourself to be swept away.

Cloudy Judgment

From May 18 to May 21 | Exact: May 20, 2024

Even if you get a strong feeling about someone or something this week, you're better off holding back and taking your time to investigate before making any moves or decisions. That could be a tall order for you, especially if you're used to being decisive or to following your instincts, but the problem is, your instincts are sending you mixed messages, and you might follow the wrong one. You might think you're seeing things as they are, but later you'll realize that things are really different from what you thought they were. For this reason, don't quit your job or take a new one, make a commitment to a lover or break things off, or make any other big, life-changing decision until you're sure you really know what's going on. The good news is, this confusion is going to clear up in a week or so, and you'll be able to make the assessment you need. But for now, you're not operating on all your cylinders, which means you shouldn't be operating at all. Take a break from business and other projects, and get a little alone time. Reading, naps and movies are all great ways to stimulate your imagination while passing the time until you're more clear-headed.

A Little Too Much Fun

From May 20 to May 21 | Exact: May 21, 2024

You'll find it hard to say no during this week, unless it's saying no to taking on extra projects at work. That, you can do! But turning down social invitations or that extra slice of cheesecake at a friend's party, now, that's another matter entirely. You're all about self-indulgence now, and work is way down on your list of things to do, trumped by eating lots of great, rich, delicious foods...getting together with your friends and going out on the town for a good time...going on impromptu shopping sprees... Just try to remember the old adage: Moderation in all things, especially 'retail therapy'! Otherwise, your credit card bill could put a serious dent in your fun when it arrives in a few weeks. For now, though, you don't care how much you spend or eat, or how late you stay out; it's all in the name of having a good time, and 'good times' might as well be your middle name. Romance is in the air; you're attracted to good looks and smooth lines, so you might get hooked up with someone you think is special but who later turns out not to be all that great. The same thing is true at work, so beware of potential clients or associates who are more flash than substance.

The Higher You Climb, the Farther You Fall

From May 22 to May 24 | Exact: May 23, 2024

It's best to avoid establishing new relationships this week, because they're likely to be based more on what you think you see than on what's actually in front of you. Even daydreaming about love and relationships isn't a good idea, because you'll just set up unrealistic expectations and scenarios that can't measure up to reality. But cautioning you probably won't make a difference because you're in a very dreamy mindset now; you'll have trouble connecting with the reality that most everyone else is living in. One of your biggest fantasies at this time is that you're the selfless one in all of your relationships -- the one who gives tirelessly and uncomplainingly of your time and your love. You might even work yourself into a dither over this, thinking you're not getting enough from your friends and loved ones in return for what you're putting into the relationship. But whether or not this is true isn't really the issue right now, and you won't be able to suss out the truth for another week or two, until your mind clears. For now, you can't make heads or tails of much of anything in your life. Your best bet? Lay low now, and you'll avoid disappointment later.

Oscar the Grouch

From May 25 to May 26 | Exact: May 26, 2024

Ya know, everyone deserves to be a little grumpy now and again. Who doesn't have times when they feel sort of generally irritable and argumentative? This may well be your week to sign on to the grouchy campaign. You can't help it if everything you touch seems to break and your skin is erupting and you dropped your toothbrush in the toilet. If anyone deserves to be Oscar the Grouch this week, it's you! So put on your furry blue suit and warn everyone in advance how you're feeling, so that they can cut you a wide berth and stay out of your way. It's only fair, after all. This is the best way to indulge yourself temporarily, and avoid damaging any relationships. Fortunately, this influence only lasts a few days, so in no time at all you'll be feeling like yourself again. In the meantime, try not to be so short-tempered that you snap at the grocery clerk or postal carrier -- unless, of course, they do something really stupid. In that case, instead of melting them with your sarcasm, you can be the bigger person and simply glare, without saying anything at all.

Misreading Social Cues

From May 26 to May 27 | Exact: May 27, 2024

You could experience some embarrassment this week, because you might misread someone's romantic signals, or they could misinterpret yours. A sign of friendly affection could be misconstrued as romantic interest, or perhaps there could be a miscommunication about the time and place of a date or appointment. When you do hook up for a date, one of you could feel preoccupied, absentminded or a little bored with the activity you've selected to do. This isn't an end-of-the-world crisis, just a minor snafu, which can be easily cleared up with a little explaining and a good laugh to clear the nervous tension. One thing to be very careful about this week is gossiping. Any negative or judgmental comments may find a way of spreading out past the person you're talking to, and you could end up hurting someone's feelings or even damaging a relationship. Keep everything honest and aboveboard, and double-check that you understand the social cues coming your way.

I hope you have enjoyed the valuable insight, wisdom and guidance of this astrology report. You might be a little curious about astrology and perhaps wondering how an astrologer can know so much about you!

Astrology is a mathematical system. It's all about applying meaning to numbers, or more specifically, finding meaning in the movements of the planets around the Sun, as viewed from our perspective here on earth. These planetary movements are easily captured and recorded with measurements, calculations, angles and so on.

That's why astrology works so well with computers, whose programs are also based on numbers and formulas. In 'the old days' -- thousands of years ago, when astrology was first recorded -- those early astrologers had to painstakingly observe the heavens and catalog their observations for the next generation of astrologers to build upon. Thank goodness for the computer age! Now we can simply use computers to make those calculations quickly and pull just the applicable pieces of information. Now, astrology is instant, based upon thousands of years of observations obtained through careful methodology.

Interpretations of planetary positions are based in part on ancient Greek and Roman mythology, but your astrological report is unique, describing you and you only. Even in the case of twin siblings, their birth charts differ from each other's in at least a few ways. And besides, no one amounts to just a simple interpretation of their birth chart; everyone's personality is complex. Your astrological report leaves plenty of room for variations based on your free will, personal growth and transformation over a lifetime.

Just like you, your astrological report is unique. It’s generated online in seconds and provides you with instant insight at your fingertips. Whether you have a pressing question about your future or you just want some guidance and direction, now you can have it all -- in a fast, focused, all-about-you format.

You can choose from several different types to find the report that's right for you and your needs. Your natal report is all about you -- your unique characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, potential and so on. Compatibility reports analyze the connections between two different people, to see how well and in what ways they get along. And a forecast is based on where the planets are today and how they're affecting you, uniquely. Be sure to try a free sample of another report to find out more about you!
