The Stars This Week: "Spice Up Your Life - May 19 - May 25, 2008

[I Have A Dream]

Spice Up Your Life!

05/19/08 - 05/25/08

The full Moon in passionate Scorpio begins the week on May 19. Then, life lightens up a bit as the Sun enters airy Gemini on May 20. A major aspect, Jupiter sextile Uranus on May 21, creates plenty of opportunities to break out of your snoozy day-to-day routines. Then Venus, the relationship planet, enters I-need-new-experiences Gemini on May 24, and you'll be happy to meet interesting people and learn something new!

May 19: Full Moon in Scorpio

No you are not having a deja vu! Last month's full Moon was in the first degree of Scorpio and this month's is in the last degree of Scorpio. You're getting a double dose of intensity and passion. Where do you want to express it? Full Moon times are always extra emotional, and watery Scorpio has its own sensitive feelings. Sometimes it's extra important to feel deeply -- and now is one of those times. Because this full Moon is in the Taurus/Scorpio axis (the signs of money and values) this is a good time to tune into your financial life. Keep in mind that Saturn squares this full Moon, urging you to evaluate your financial responsibilities.

May 20: Sun enters Gemini

Each year as the Sun transits through this premiere communication sign, news, information and stimulating conversations spice up your life. Air signs are quite social and are known for their friendliness, making this a great time to meet new people, attend events and go to parties. Why not start a book or film club? Or, do you have an idea for a blog? Use the need to learn to bring excitement into your life!

May 21: Jupiter sextile Uranus

This is a very hopeful and optimistic aspect! Jupiter and Saturn represent social trends while the outer three planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) symbolize collective trends. When social and collective planets meet, the larger landscape shifts. Jupiter in ambitious Capricorn forming an exciting sextile to independent Uranus offers you plenty of opportunities to break out of your routines and experiment with new ways to produce income. It's also a perfect time to join up with groups, associations or organizations with like-minded people. You have the desire to achieve something substantial, but you want it to be fresh, creative and innovative.

1. I woke up crying this morning.

First time in a while. Nightmares were interesting. I'm conflicted about what I will do tomorrow in Oregon's primary (don't feel I can reach a satisfying decision no matter whom I do or don't vote for).

Blue Moon. Scary.

2. It doesn't have to be scary, it can be a real opportunity

"Because this full Moon is in the Taurus/Scorpio axis (the signs of money and values) this is a good time to tune into your financial life. Keep in mind that Saturn squares this full Moon, urging you to evaluate your financial responsibilities."

I spent the past month, from the first full moon to this recent one, preparing for a meeting where people were charged with just that, evaluating finances and financial responsibilities. The presentation was very doom and gloom...bad economy, etc. and the meeting was on the 19th precisely.

I think the folks at the meeting took the presentation seriously. I am hopeful they will do something good with the information. I am very glad of the Scorpio blue moon, because I don't think people have been taking things seriously enough. Only if you admit reality can you realistically take steps to change it. Or, more simply, admitting you have a problem is the first step in solving it.

People so live in denial, it makes me crazy. But I'm a Scorpio. I guess I make them crazy too.
