Neptune Retrograde 5/25/2007

Work has probably been a bit complicated for a while and your thoughts toward that will continue to churn at the subconscious level for a while as Jupiter and Pluto are both retrograde in that neighborhood.  This will generate a lot of consideration relative to the ethics and other activities you see in the workplace and possibly bring about a dramatic change in attitude or aspirations, particularly when coupled with the energy in your career area.  If you're having a hard time seeing the difference between career and work, consider your career your ambitions and life's work while work is simply how you're currently making your living.  In some cases they overlap more than in others.  The Blue Moon, or second Full Moon within a month, occurs on the 31st in your Natural 6th House of work, so this could indicate a culmination of some sort.

Speaking of lunations, which are particularly important to Crabs since you're ruled by the Moon, the first Full Moon occurs in fellow Water Sign, Scorpio, on May 2nd.  This should highlight your Natural 5th House, which includes such pleasantries as children, love affairs and your creativity.  If your birthday is around July 1-5, this should be particularly noticeable.  Full Moons often herald the culmination of an effort or the ending of a phase of some type.

Saturn has been retrograde in your Natural 2nd House of possessions, pleasures and comforts for several month and fortunately this condition ended on April 22.  If it has felt as if these types of things have been stuck in the mud, your should see an improvement.  The reason for these obstacles and possibly delays will become apparent and you should have everything running smoothly again sometime after your birthday. 

There is likely to be some action within your group activities such as clubs, friends or organizations.  With the New Moon on the 16th in this area as well as the Sun's presence for most of the month, something is likely to be going on in this venue.  Opportunities are likely, particularly if your birthday is between July 16-20, so keep your eyes open and be prepared.  Remember what I said about the Moon, that her activities affect you more than other Signs.  This is one of the reasons you tend to move in and out of moods so readily since the Moon moves through the Zodiac faster than anything else, spending about two and a half days in each Sign.  This in turn reflects back on you as you feel the influence of each of them on a regular basis.  In contrast, Sun-ruled Leos spend a month in each sign so the influence is not as noticeable.

Neptune goes retrograde this month and could generate some inspiration relative to your intimate relationships, other people's money or perhaps help you gain new insights into something that has been hidden or beneath the surface.  If you're feeling a bit restless, this could be part of it, and an adjustment of some sort may be required.  Bear in mind that Neptune is also the master of deception and illusion, so make sure you aren't taken in by something that doesn't reflect reality.  Some changes, upsets or unexpected events are possible in the legal, higher education or long distance travel arenas thanks to Uranus.  If you have anything in work in any of those areas, make sure you dot all your "i's" and cross all your "T's" to avoid as many problems as possible.

This should be an interesting month with lots of phone calls and activities and possibly opportunities.  Exploit that extra charm early in the month and listen to your instincts.
