NEW MOON in GEMINI
This Forecast in effect
May 24 to June 7, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
This is a time when your natural playfulness is a
valuable resource. Perhaps this side of you has been dormant for a while, or
maybe it's just itching for the opportunity to come out and have some fun. On
the other hand, you might look around and think that with all the struggle
happening in the world right now, there's nothing much to be cheerful about. In
that case, this is precisely the best time to draw on your Inner Imp to help you
look at the lighter side of life.
Right now could easily seem like a comedy of errors,
looking more like a farce written by
Shakespeare
or Monty Python
than
your usual life. You have a choice: you can let yourself be pulled down by
frustration or you can laugh about the irony. You can lament that things are
moving too slowly and that your attempts seem to fall short of perfection, or
you can lighten up and let yourself be tickled and endeared by our human
bloopers. I'm not talking about laughing at anyone
(including yourself), but laughing with life
(including yourself). In other words, take your attachment to the outcome and
your ego out of the picture, which can help you see things in a way that will
lift your spirits.
The difficulty may lie in maintaining a healthy,
comfortable detachment. It might be tempting to shut down your awareness or
close up your openness to life. This may seem like a good way to protect
yourself from people, situations or energies that perhaps feel chaotic or
callously indifferent to its effects on you. In other words, your playful Inner
Child might feel vulnerable and want to hide. However, it is exactly the
lightness of your child-like being that can help you through this. I'm not
talking about being recklessly na�ve, but to allow the light-hearted and
pleasure-loving part of yourself to relax a bit and find some enjoyment and
humour in the challenges that you are facing. It helps to have someone who can
help you see the comedy and absurdity in it all. Seek out a trusted friend or
pay a visit to a playful astrologer.

FULL MOON in SAGITTARIUS
This Forecast in effect
June 7-22, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
This is a time when your vision, imagination and
sense of new possibilities may be very strong � so strong, in fact, that a
bit of caution and sensible moderation is probably wise. Over the last few
weeks, life may have seemed surprisingly jumbled, chaotic, frustrating or
filled with longing for change. (Blame it on an unusually intense Mercury
retrograde.) This energy is finally starting to level out. It may be
tempting to want to rush headlong into putting new ideas into motion or
catching up on all the things that got delayed or stalled during that time.
Although optimistic expectations are certainly not
out of place, forward progress will work much better if it is paced,
measured and developed one mindful step at a time. This is especially true
for anything involving finances, purchases and acquisition of resources and
assets. In fact, you may find your plans fall into place more concretely in
the last week of June.
The thing is:
what is being created right now has implications far beyond your immediate
situation. You might be acutely aware of this in the form of a
"damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't" kind of dilemma that has developed
over the past few weeks. Your solution lies in patiently working your way
through this rocky terrain. Take time out to "recharge your batteries." And
limit your exposure to extremes of both stress and elation � too much of
either of these can be exhausting, pull you out of your center and skew your
perception that needs to be grounded and stable right now. A
personal astrology reading can help
you find your footing again.
