Full Moon 5/31/2007

Neptune Retrograde 5/25/2007

Mars will keep moving, fortunately, and enter your Natural 2nd House of possessions, pleasures and comforts on May 16.  Mars and Venus have been squared off against each other for a while, which could have been stirring up some male-female type conflicts, possibly relative to your children or love life.  As if that's any big surprise, right?  That should be over by the second week of May, but there is still the possibility for some break-downs or problems with your possessions.  Hopefully they won't be any more than an annoyance, but if something is about to go out, this will probably give it the final push, so don't spend your money on any discretionary purchases until you know whether or not this is going to be expensive.

The Full Moon in fellow Water Sign, Scorpio, on May 2nd occurs in your Natural 9th House, which governs higher education, long distance travel and legal matters.  If you have anything going on in one of those areas, this should indicate that the culmination or at least the end of a phase, is about to occur, more than likely in a favorable manner.  The New Moon in Taurus on the 16th is in your Natural 3rd House of thoughts, ideas, local neighborhood and short trips, and could offer some opportunities for a new endeavor in one of those areas.  With the Sun and Mercury there adding emphasis as well, a new idea or attitude could definitely be born.  This month we have a Blue Moon as well, which by definition is a second Full Moon within a calendar month, in this case in Sagittarius on the 31st.  This one is in your Natural 10th House and could influence your career or community reputation in some manner, again as a culmination or end of a phase.

Also resident in Sagittarius are Jupiter and Pluto, who are both retrograde (RX).  While Jupiter is RX he will force consideration of moral or ethics issues, in your case, relative to your career.  If there is anything going on that is marginal in these areas, you'll be thinking about it a lot and how it affects you, particularly if your birthday is on or around March 6.  Pluto RX is the Zodiacal back-hoe who'll exhume that figurative septic tank where you've flushed all those life experiences that you really didn't want to deal with at the time.  Again, this is likely to relate to your career or reputation in some manner. 

These RX periods go on for several months, so this isn't something that will be resolved quickly.  Rather, you'll have plenty of time to think and and consider past experiences from which you should glean some wisdom that you either couldn't or possibly refused to see at the time.   Pluto will have the most uncomfortable effect on those born on or around March 19.  Those born on or around February 19 may actually glean an opportunity from it, perhaps to not only resolve something but bring it to their advantage in some way. 

On May 25th your planetary ruler, Neptune, also goes RX in your Natural 12th House, which is Pisces domain on the Zodiacal level.  In other words, Pisces rules the 12th House on the Universal House level, meaning this is comfortable territory for you and the fact your ruling planet is there should provide some significant experiences that could even reach the transcendental level.  Be aware, however, that regardless of how good this may feel, you need to not get too wrapped up in all this since it could definitely fog your view of reality, which is already slightly skewed as a Pisces native.  Enjoy it for what it's worth, but don't expect the rest of the world to get into step with your opinions or viewpoints, particularly as they relate to world peace, anytime soon.

With Venus in your Natural 5th House of children, your love life and creativity, in spite of that square with Mars early in the month, issues in this area should generally go well, particularly since this is another fellow Water Sign.  Thus, events in this area should be satisfying on the emotional level.   If things at work have been stuck in the mud for the past several months, this should improve, also, since Saturn came out of retrograde on April 22.  Chances are your subconscious has been ruminating on something in this area during this time and as it breaks the surface of your conscious mind you'll be able to address it and maybe even have it resolved by the end of July.

This should be an interesting and probably memorable month.  There is a good mix of challenges and opportunities that include new ideas as well as personal growth at a transformational level.  Again, recognize that as the planets make their trek through the Zodiac that whatever they throw our way is for our ultimate benefit, regardless of how it may seem at the time.
