Astromat for May 6 - May 12

Astromat


ARIES
(March 21-April 20)

Make a good decision, finish an artistic project and get whatever romance you can from a Taurus or Libra while it's still aavailable. Cosmic influences will shift when your planetary ruler, Mars, moves into the watery sign of Cancer close to May 8, bringing heightened emotional reactions, psychic intuitions and an increased amount of activity within your home. As you begin to feel things more deeply, look out for toxic emotions or the suppression of anger that could wreak havoc on your stomach. If you were born within a day of March 22, expect higher energy levels and a greater libido, but avoid burns in the kitchen, angry outbursts and arguments with family members.



TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)

A focus on financial concerns and a greater value on neighbors, siblings and literature are shown as your planetary ruler, Venus, moves through the sign of Gemini and your 2nd house. Numerous communications, decisions and short trips are also indicated, especially when it comes to money matters. Positive vibrations from Mercury could bring secret conversations, pillow talk, hidden financial opportunities and jobs relating to hospitals, studios or working in isolation. Improved health and undercover purchases are also shown. The signs Gemini and Virgo could play a part.



GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)

Cosmic forces are going your way as your planetary ruler, Mercury, moves through the sign of Aries and your 11th house. This is your chance to successfully move forward with new endeavors, group projects and your life's work. Positive vibrations from Venus could bring physical beauty, love relationships, social opportunities, financial enhancements and benefits from women all week long, especially if you were born close to June 15. The signs Taurus and Libra could be involved.



CANCER
(June 22-July 22)

Your ruling Moon moves into the sign of Capricorn and your 7th house late on May 7, bringing the possibility of angry outbursts and arguments with loved ones or the signs Aries and Scorpio, especially if you were born close to June 23. Lunar forces mellow out late on May 9, when the Moon moves into Aquarius and your 8th house, bringing spontaneous sexual experiences, unexpected growth and interests in mysteries of the unknown. Erotic encounters are likely close to May 10, along with associations with music, spirituality, film, water and alcohol. The signs Pisces and Sagittarius could be involved.



LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)

Career and finances take top priority as your ruling Sun moves through the sign of Taurus and your 10th house. Although energies from Neptune have recently inspired the possibility of secret lovers, undercover work and the general tendency to stay isolated, remember that you are still very much in the spotlight. Vibrations from Pluto could create slight power struggles with children, lovers and within creative projects or surrounding sporting events close to May 12. Lustful feelings and using sex as a weapon are also possibilities at this time. The signs Scorpio and Aries could play a part.



VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)

Your planetary ruler, Mercury, is finally picking up speed in the sign of Aries and your 8th house. Transformations that have slowed down in progress can begin to change more rapidly. New beginnings are also encouraged at this time. Harmonious vibrations from Venus are indicated all week long, bringing opportunities for love relationships, financial increase, social outings, career promotion and a wonderful reputation as well. Women and the signs Taurus and Libra could be instrumental in your success.



LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

The pursuit of higher knowledge and distant travel are indicated as your planetary ruler, Venus, moves through the sign of Gemini and your 9th house. Rushes of lust, power struggles, obsessions and difficulties with the signs Aries and Scorpio from last week are now dissipating. Positive influences from Mercury could bring opportunities for love relationships (or at least meaningful phone calls) all week long. Travel plans, business agreements and intellectual pursuits are all favored at this time. Younger people, neighbors and the signs Gemini and Virgo could be beneficial.



SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Changes in your diet, dress, hairstyle and job situation have all been likely with Mercury so close to your primary ruler, Pluto. An improvement in health and effortless benefits from younger people and the signs Gemini and Virgo have also been shown. Celestial influences shift when your planetary co-ruler, Mars, moves harmoniously into the sign of Cancer and your 9th house, bringing possibilities of home schooling, long distance moves and improved spiritual insights. If you were born close to October 25, expect an increase in ambition, energy level and a tendency to travel.



SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)

Cosmic conditions have further improved for your sign this week since your planetary ruler, Jupiter, has changed to a forward direction in the sign of Virgo and your 10th house. Career stagnation is now over. Feel free to seek a job change or ask for a promotion. Bosses, parents and the sign Capricorn are all in your favor at this time. Don't let friends, emotional upsets, the sign Aquarius or unstable situations at home keep you from well-deserved success. The release of internal issues regarding parental difficulties could come about suddenly, but will ultimately lead to healing. Electrical difficulties are also possible.



CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)

Pull back the curtains and let some light shine in. Good fortune is within your grasp if you will just believe. Your planetary rulers, Saturn and Uranus, are still harmoniously aligned, while simultaneously connecting with the luckiest planet, Jupiter. Expansion on every level is indicated, especially where travel, spirituality and higher forms of education are concerned. New relationships could pop up at any time, but particularly with the sign Sagittarius, Pisces and Aquarius. Avoid talking too much, or you may get very little accomplished.



AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)

Celestial situations are basically in your favor. Your planetary rulers, Uranus and Saturn, are still beneficially connected and positively entangled with lucky Jupiter. Overspending is certainly a concern close to May 9, but at least you'll have plenty of sexual energy. In fact, sexual liaisons with the signs Sagittarius and Pisces aren't out of the question. Job promotion, increases in health, inner harmony and possible laziness are also forecasted. Your boss, parent or the sign Capricorn could be very helpful at this time.



PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)

Although communications with children and Leo have been a little rough, planetary energies hold some benefits for your sign this week. Romances could be turning into committed relationships, or maybe a new business partnership is forming dealing with entertainment, recreation, sports or speculation, especially if older people, bosses or the sign Capricorn is involved. However, if you were born around February 27, expect extreme urges from freedom at all costs, sudden realizations and a general lack of direction. The sign Aquarius could be disruptive.
