Lunations and Long Term Aspects

The New Moon on May 3rd is in Taurus, your 2nd house of needs, pleasures, income, finances, possessions and anything else you value, including yourself.  This is a favorable time to take a close look at this part of your life and determine whether or not it's where you want it to be.  If not, you are well-positioned to take action while you still have all those planets in Aries.  As this entourage passes over your Natal, Progressed or Solar Return Sun you are going to notice various things gain emphasis and demand your attention.  This is not a bad thing other than the fact you may find yourself going in too many different directions at once.  Aries are impulsive by their very nature and do a great job of starting things but don't do so well getting them established and finished up.  Thus, if you really want to accomplish anything you'll need to crank up the discipline factor.  You may find this assistance through someone you know well.  Using someone you trust and who knows you well can be a tremendous asset at this time for giving you encouragement and good advice.  This can ultimately have a very positive effect on the relationship in general as well.

A change of course financially is possible, either because you decide to do so yourself or events and situations impose it upon you.  Again, someone close to you can help with this exercise and have a calming effect on you.  All that energy coming your way from the planets in Aries is only as good as you direct it constructively.  Unless you want it to be another flash in the pan, you need to slow down and think things through a bit more than usual.  This New Moon can serve you very well in that capacity considering it's in steady Taurus and throwing emphasis on your 2nd house as noted above.  The energy will feel different than it did when the Sun was in Aries but it will be helpful for getting you to slow down and bit and make some concrete plans.

That Saturn - Pluto square between your house of relationships and house of career, reputation, public image and status is still in force.  If your birthday is between March 28 - April 5 you can expect numerous changes in these parts of your life.  Your relationship with your boss may be changing, your career or some other major part of your life may be transforming, or your personal relationships may be in a state of flux, particularly with regard to any associated responsibilities.  If you've been taking too much of this now is the time to think long and hard about whether that has paid off and is serving your needs.  If the stress at work isn't worth the money or vice versa where the easy but low-paying job just doesn't do it any more, now is the time to address it.

The Full Moon on May 17 is in Scorpio, your 8th house of transformations, sex, shared resources and death and regeneration.  This implies something in this part of your life will be ending or shifting to a new phase.  At this time only two planets are left in Aries, Jupiter and Uranus, so that surge of energy you've enjoyed the last month or so will be greatly diminished.  The troupe is now in your 2nd house of needs, pleasures and income which makes this a very favorable time to make some directed change in this part of your life.  Probing your psyche for what you're really looking for in life is part of this with there no time like the present to change directions.  If your birthday is within a day or so of April 16 this will be most noticeable.  Uranus will be in Aries for several years to come so you can expect a variety of upsets and changes during that time.  Of all people you deal well this type of environment so fasten your seatbelt and get ready for an exciting ride.
