NEW MOON in TAURUS
This Forecast in effect
April 24 to May 9, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
Whatever situation you're in right now, if you
look closely you will see three components to it. One is that there are
hidden rewards to be found by patiently and persistently digging down
through the layers of old problems over the next few weeks. This might seem
frustratingly slow sometimes, or it might be difficult not to react
impulsively to an intense feeling like you're being swallowed whole by a
giant ogre. However, there is a friendly "Shrek " side to this ogre that can
also be experience as playful, lively and enthusiastic, rather than
seemingly reckless, frightening or overbearing.
The second component right now is that your
ability to be grounded, responsible, organized and analytical could flip on
and off like a light switch for a few days. At its best, you might
experience this as a rush of ambition, motivation and determination to make
concrete progress in your goals. At its worst, you might wind up beating up
yourself or someone else with guilt, condemnation or hyper-criticism about
imperfections that are human, not necessarily blame-worthy.
The third compartment of this energy contains a
struggle between hope and vision versus needing to accept and embrace the
reality that your reach might well exceed your grasp. This might feel a bit
like your upbeat anticipation of possibilities is being brought down. In
order to be uplifted, it is necessary for you to bring
all of you along for the ride; and to do
that, you will need to reach down into the place where you hide your
(so-called) negative or undesirable side. You don't want your human
shortcomings wandering off like an abandoned child where it can get into
trouble. So, it's important that you confront, acknowledge and accept this
part of you as a work in progress. At the same time, it's both okay and
essential to believe in your own unlimited potential and that you believe
you deserve this. If in doubt, consult a trusted friend, advisor,
counsellor, or your astrologer who can help you navigate through these
energies. Be open to new ideas and insights, but don't get so open-minded
that your brains fall out. ;-)

FULL MOON in SCORPIO
This Forecast in effect
May 9-24, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
This is a time to go inside and explore inner
feelings, perceptions, intuition and creative inspiration. You have the
opportunity to access something that is hidden, secret or a mystery, and by
accessing it you can gain knowledge and information that may be very useful
later, especially in a few weeks' time. Right now, though, it is time to do
some soul searching. You might need to examine your deeper motives about a
decision you must make over the next few weeks. Or, it may be necessary to
explore hidden feelings or desires that affect your reactions to situations
or people around you.
By venturing deep below the surface of your
conscious awareness, you can gain access to a wealth of information,
although what you learn might not be what you're expecting and might even be
a bit disappointing. It is said that ignorance is bliss, but what you don't
know can sometimes hurt you or at least get in your way. It will likely take
some effort or struggle to arrive at illumination and understanding. If what
you discover is not what you were hoping, sit with this knowledge for a bit
and try not to jump to conclusions. A deeper understanding is possible if
you give it some time and stay open to a new perspective.
It will help to create some stability in your
life. Stick with your normal routines as much as possible – or, if your
routines are normally pretty scattered or unpredictable, try to introduce
some structure that will act as a way to ground yourself. Try starting the
day with an affirmation that you have inner reserves of strength to draw on.
It's a good time to return to any good habits you started in the past and
then let slide. It can also help to remember the saying that "the truth will
set you free." Look back over decisions you've made in recent weeks and see
if they can be improved, especially by patiently gathering new information
and challenging old assumptions. Talking to
your astrologer
can provide some insightful food for thought that can help you make wise
revisions of your choices and plans. |
