The Sun tarot cardAries: It’s a time of the year when your star sign has got a lot to say for itself, and you’ll want to make sure that your messages gets spread far and wide.  If romance is on your agenda, then the right words can get you into the right places.  At the end of the week Mars makes a 135-degree aspect to Pluto.  Cracking a peanut with a sledgehammer is never a good idea.

Taurus: If money’s important to you, and it probably is, then it’s now time for you to address yourself to the various issues.  You need to take two different approaches, that may be very different from each other.  The last half of the week is dominated by a conjunction between Mercury and Venus.  Where there’s intelligence there’s love.

Gemini: A big week for you, especially if you’re celebrating a birthday.  You’ll have energy and enthusiasm, and you’ll be able to put your plans into actions.  A Full Moon at the end of the week puts a strong emphasis on relationships.  You and someone else are reaching a critical stage in your relationship, and soon enough a decision will have to be made.

Cancer: In a month’s time it will be the Summer Solstice, when the Sun moves into your star sign.  And as you prepare for this moment, a bit of reflection might be in order.  Consider what you’re doing and why, and perhaps do some research.  When you’re alone your mind is on best form, and in most cases teamwork should be avoided.

Leo: The Sun, your ruler, moves from Taurus to Gemini.  You realize that it’s not enough to be successful – you have to do something that’s of lasting value, that will make the world a better place.  Also, consider the possibility that your labor is being exploited, in a way that gives you a raw deal.  What you do is what you are.

Virgo: From a career point of view the situation gets stronger and stronger.  You’re in the right place, and your talents are becoming obvious.  You also benefit from a conjunction between Mercury and Venus – you can smooth your rough edges, and in the process gain a new admirer.  Don’t be modest!

Libra: Things are becoming easier to deal with.  You’re no longer bogged down in other people’s emotional chaos, and you can now spread your wings and start being yourself.  And with Mercury making a conjunction to Venus, don’t be afraid to express yourself.  You’ll know how to get to your way, without having to try!

Scorpio: There are things you can handle that leave other people shaking at the knees.  And really, we’re talking about a high level of emotion, where you can bask in the energy in an almost effortless way.  You’ll find that when people start expressing themselves emotionally, the truth comes out.

Sagittarius: Relationships are becoming important, because of the Sun’s movement into Gemini, your opposite sign.  You can’t really function as a lone player, and to be on best form you’ll need someone else’s help.  The Full Moon at the end of the week makes everything clear, for better or for worse.

Capricorn: While other people are enjoying the weather, or whatever else they like to enjoy in late May, you can quietly get on with the job.  Your actions won’t be spectacular, but they’ll get results.  But don’t push yourself too hard – your health is important.

Aquarius: It’s a time for having fun, and also for making the most of your creative talents.  You don’t have to play things other people’s way – just be yourself and start enjoying life.  When it comes to love, the situation is improving fast, and there’s a high chance that you’ll find someone suitable.

Pisces: As the Sun moves into Gemini, you feel a powerful sense of your own boundaries – a desire to retreat into your own private world, and perhaps to re-connect with close family and close friends.  Yet at the end of the week there’s a Full Moon, which creates a dilemma about your career.

Your weekend horoscopes for May 18-19 2013

by Archie Dunlop on May 16, 2013

Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II – a Taurus, born on May 18 1920 (with an anonymous Leo admirer)

Aries: There’s a work to be done and the sooner it’s out of the way the better.  On Sunday you’re tempted to spend time on the phone, but that’s probably not a good idea.  Words lead to arguments, arguments lead to fights.

Taurus: Venus, your ruler, makes a favorable aspect to Uranus.  You’re an exciting person, and you can make things happen.  Sometimes it’s OK to make a fool of yourself – by breaking the ice you win people’s trust.

Gemini: There’s an air of confusion, caused by a stressful aspect between Mercury and Neptune, at the daily horoscope level.  You think you know what’s going on, but actually you don’t.  However if you’re involved with art or fashion it could be a great weekend.

Cancer: There are things you want to talk about and once you find the right audience there’ll be no stopping you.  But it’s important that you get your facts straight – otherwise you’ll lose credibility.

Leo: Financial matters require some attention.  You’ve got some of the picture but not all of it, and you need to dig around to uncover the full story.  What’s boring is profitable.  Some Leos feel a need for new qualifications.

Virgo: Mercury aspects Neptune, so in relationships you have to be careful.  The people close to you may not tell the truth, probably because they’re confused rather than dishonest.  And if you trust someone there’ll be cause for regret.  Apart from that, a good weekend.

Libra: Just because there’s a lot of activity doesn’t mean that you have to get involved, just because there’s a party doesn’t mean that you have to attend.  Yet a fortunate aspect between Venus and Uranus could have important implications for your romantic future.

Scorpio: On Saturday you can enjoy the company of friends, in a quiet, low-profile kind of way.  However by Sunday there might be a hint of irritation.  Your space is important to you, and those that over-step the mark could feel the Scorpion’s sting.

Sagittarius: This weekend the Moon is moving through the career sector of your solar chart, so many Sagittarius will be feeling restless, and they’ll want to do something useful.  On Sunday a shared activity could be painful.

Capricorn: Everything’s fine – almost.  There’s something missing, and you’re not going to find it in the usual places.  Be imaginative and don’t be afraid to listen to your dreams.  What’s foreign is lucky.

Aquarius: Surface appearances mean nothing.  If you want to make progress then you have to dig deeper, and perhaps deal with complicated emotions.  Can you handle the challenge?

Pisces: The Moon is passing through Virgo, so relationships are going to be important.  You’ll have to listen to your partner, without making any judgments.  Yet once you’ve heard the story you may have to intervene – someone is on the verge of making a mistake.

Dandelions and spirituality

May 14, 2013 ASTRO

I’d never thought about dandelions before.  They are yellow flowers, that have fine seeds, which form a soft, dome-like structure.  And as every child knows, when you blow on the dome the seeds go everywhere. However if you look at the etymology of the word ‘dandelion’, you get a different picture.  It’s from the French, [...]
