May 2020 Horoscopes

May 2020 Horoscopes 

NOTE: As I write these horoscopes, it is currently the middle of April 2020. We are still in the midst of the corona virus epidemic. With the exception of essential workers, many people are hold up at home going out only for the necessitates of life and practicing safe social distancing. We are more conscious of not touching our faces, and are practicing better hygiene by washing and sanitizing our hands often in hopes of staving off the virus for ourselves. 

It is my hope that by the time these horoscopes are published at the end of the month that we have "flattened the curve" to a straight line and that that line points to healing for our country and the world at large. It is my hope that our leaders and those in power find the answers to successfully address the wrongs that have come out of this pandemic and put resources and programs in place to both help us come back stronger than before and prevent this from happening every again. 

Blessings,

Aries- Your feelings about money and your sense of personal security are more intense this month. You fear that you don't have enough money, whether you actually have enough or not or you're afraid you'll lose what reserves you have accumulated.  You're likely to look at ways to save more money or make more money to add to your savings.

Taurus- Your ego  gets a huge boost of energy and confidence this month. You're positively full of yourself and you think that everyone should have the opportunity to see what a super special person you are. You might change something about the way you look, like get a new haircut or buy yourself a new outfit,  or you might change how you act around other people.   

Gemini- You're feeling more weighed down this month by past psychic trauma and emotional baggage. You're more motivated to confront and heal these old wounds now. You're more withdrawn, sensitive and emotional. You may feel like others don't understand you or can't comprehend what you're feeling.

Cancer- You look to the future more now and your focus in on the big picture. Not necessarily your personal future but the future of the world and people in general. You have a greater urge to contribute to a greater vision, to help people and to improve the world in some way. You long to be a part of a group who shares your values.

LeoYou're more focused on your career now and are concerned with the direction of your life.  You have a long term vision for where you want to end up and a plan to get you there. Taking a more mature and practical approach to relationships with bosses or other superior benefits you now. You may find that you are recognized for your work.

Virgo- You might be feeling a little too insulated from the world right now and you can find this suffocating. You want to break free from your little comfort zone, meet new people, have new experiences, and explore new knowledge and ways of life.  You can be more direct with others, perhaps too much,  as well as yourself.

LibraYou're primed and ready for change but nothing superficial. You seek to change your life in a meaningful way. While you figure that out you might be more brooding and emotional with a tendency to keep your thoughts to yourself.  You may also find that an issue relating to shared resources, debt, or taxes may require your attention. 

Scorpio- Your relationships with others come into the spotlight this month. You just want to be a better partner to the partners in your life (business, romantic, platonic). For this reason you are more willing to compromise with your partner(s) so as to improve your relationship.  You'll need their help in order to accomplish anything this month and you need to strive for more balance between work and play.

SagittariusYou throw your life into your work this month. You are feeling more efficient and productive and are ready to bring more order to your life.  While this is a good time to refine your routine to be more efficient, try not to be too much of a perfectionist or you'll be more anxious.  You may also find that a health or diet issue may need to be addressed this month.

CapricornYou're less about responsibilities and more about having fun this month.  Rather than work, you'll spend more time doing things which you find fun, socializing, dating, or working on your hobbies. You're certainly less introverted now and can be more dramatic. You want to be the center of attention and you're willing to go all out to get it. 

AquariusUnlike Capricorn, you're more introverted this month. You just want to chill at home either alone or with close friends and family.  This is a good time to work on home improvement by decluttering the house, rearranging or replacing furniture, addressing needed home repairs or slapping a new coat of pain on the walls. 

PiscesYou're a regular chatty Kathy this month strike up conversations with anyone and everyone.  Your mind races with new thoughts and ideas and you're motivated to do a lot of things. However, you don't actually accomplish anything because you spread yourself too thin.

Moon in Cancer



Moon in Cancer 
April 27th, 2020  10:27 AM 
Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Note: Last year, I didn't really cover the transits of the moon other than it's relationship to other planets and positions in the form of aspects. This year, I will be covering the Moon's journey through the zodiac at the rate of one sign per month in the natural order. 

Moon in Cancer (General) 

The Moon makes a full circuit through the zodiac once every 28 1/2 days spending about 2.5 days in each sign. It's mantra is I FEEL and some keywords associated with it include, but are not limited to, childhood, cycles, emotions, feelings, habits, home, change, instincts, mother, passive, subconscious. nurturing, and imagination. The Moon rules Cancer, is Exalted in Taurus, in fall in Scorpio, and Detriment in Capricorn (see essential dignity).

The Moon is at home in Cancer because it rules Cancer. Both their mantras are I FEEL.  When the moon is in Cancer people are more emotional, sensitive, and sentimental. They are more likely to stay at home now, nurturing theirselves and their loved ones, cooking, cleaning, eating. They may be more introspective and spend more time in self-evaulation.  They are quiter than usual and more private about their thoughts and feelings. Such isolation isn't always healthy, especially if you are not built for it. Luckily this transit only last about two days. During this time, people can exhibit more emotionally needy behavior. 

The house where Cancer Falls in your natal Chart is the area of life that you will feel more emotional about. For example. 
  • If your rising sign is Aries, Cancer is your 4th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Cancer is your 3rd House. 
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Cancer is your 2nd House. 
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Cancer is your 1st House. 
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Cancer is your 12th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Cancer is your 11th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Cancer is your 10th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Cancer is your 9th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Cancer is your 8th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Cancer is your 7th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Cancer is your 6th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Cancer is your 5th House. 

Example 

Moon in Cancer and the 9th House 

I feel emotional about my sense of freedom and adventure. 

When the moon is in Cancer and the 9th house, you feel adventurouse. With social distancing in place, you may feel a strong urge to get out of the house, to explore, to get away, to have an adventure. You simply want freedom. If you can't physically get away, you may explore the world by looking at pictures online, or reading books about foreign places or travel. You can let go of the burden of responsibilities and expectations now, you're less serious and more optimistic. You can be more defensive about your beliefs and opinions. You may become more interested in your own evolving spiritual growth and development.

Aspects

Aspects are another dimension of astrological interpretation. Let us suppose then that you have Saturn in 3° Cancer, then the Transit Moon would be applying a conjunction to your Natal Saturn. A conjunction is a type of neutral aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet blends with the energy or urge of another planet and you can no longer tell them apart. 

When the Transit Moon makes a conjunction to Natal Saturn you have more control over your emotions and will not allow yourself to be controlled by them. Your ability to make decisions is better now because you make them based on facts not feelings. You have a more realistic perspective now. 

Where does Cancer fall in your chart and how will  the ingress of the moon in Cancer manifest for you?

Mercury in Taurus 2020




Mercury in Taurus

Mercury in Taurus General 

When Mercury is in Taurus, our thoughts and speech slow down. We speak and communication more deliberately, determined to get our point across.  Our thinking process, such as how we process and exchange information, becomes more slow as well and we less inclined to change our minds about any subject or matter (Taurus is a fixed sign).  Our thoughts may turn to money and material matters. We may become more fond of what makes us comfortable in terms of the senses such as food, art, music etc... 

How Mercury in Taurus Affects You 

The house that Taurus occupies in your Natal Chart is the area of life where you will have slow, deliberate thoughts. 

  • If your rising sign is Aries, Taurus is your 2nd House. 
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Taurus is your 1st House. 
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Taurus is your 12th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Taurus is your 11th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Taurus is your 10th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Taurus is your 9th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Taurus is your 8th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Taurus is your 7th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Taurus is your 6th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Taurus is your 5th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Taurus is your 4th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Taurus is your 3rd House. 

Example 
Mercury in Taurus in the 7th House 

Mercury in this placement can bring slow, deliberate thoughts about our relationships of all kinds. This might be a period in which we consider our relationships and if we are truly happy and satisfied with them. Mercury in the 7th house can indicate a period of (re) negotiation (mercury rules contracts) in our relationships to fix what may be broken or not working as it should be. We may communicate more with the people in our lives who represent our partners, this can be in business or in romantic relationships. You may find that you communicate better one-on-one with other people rather than with groups of individuals. 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimension of astrological interpretation that can be examined. Let us suppose then that you have Mars at 9° Taurus. This would mean that Transit Mars is applying a conjunction to your Natal Mars. A conjunction is a type of aspect in which the urge of one planet blends with the urge of another habit so well that it is difficult to tell them apart. Let us break it down:

Transit Mercury + Conjunct + Natal Mars 

I Think + blends with + I act 

When transit Mercury conjunct Natal Mars the urge to communicate blends with the assertiveness of Mars. Your communication style is more aggressive now. Consequently you can get into more heavy debates and arguments the short time this aspect is active.  Your words carry more weight and power now, which is good because you may have to defend your stance or opinion on some matter. Even if you are sure of your own opinion, you express yourself with such confidence that you are able to sway people to your way of thinking. 

Ruler of the House

The Ruler of the House can also be considered.  Mercury rules both Gemini (air sign) and Virgo (earth sign) so the ingress of Mercury into Taurus will be influenced by they houses that these signs occupy in your natal chart. In this blog entry I will focus on Virgo. To begin, there are two questions you'll need to ask yourself. They are:

  • What house does Mercury Ruled Virgo occupy in your natal chart?
  • What house does Taurus (Mercury in Taurus) occpy in your natal chart?

Let us suppose that Taurus is your 7th house, and that will make Virgo your 11th House. This would be expressed as the ruler of your 11th house is in your 7th house. What this means is that the activities of the 11th house serve the urge or agenda of the 7th house. This could be expressed as "friends, groups, and associations serve marriage, agreements, and contracts."

We can then extrapolate on this statement and say something like "your friends become romantic or business partners. Your friendships have an affect on your relationships (for good or bad). You want your friends to approve of your relationships, or your partner; or you want your partner to approve of your friends and the causes to which you commit yourself."

How will the ingress of Mercury into Taurus manifest for you?
