astral meanders 26th May- 1st June 2010

In General: With Venus still transiting Cancer this week there is an emphasis upon the comforts of home. Getting together with family and friends can be extra special at this time. It’s wise to put some effort into nurturing the things and folk you love! Some of us may wish to put down roots, consolidate their sense of security and others may just enjoy a little nostalgia. On the 28thof May we have a full moon in Sagittarius which is a highly charged and excitable full moon indeed! Overdoing the indulgences can be a real problem with this moon! Gemini Sun opposes this full Moon and these two signs are notoriously unmatched! It will be extra important to try and affect a balance between intuition and logic, expansiveness and over caution. Without this balance a real sense of emotional overload can make many of us say and do things we will later regret. Venus semi-squares Mars during this period too, increasing overall tensions within relationships. For those celebrating their birthday this week, the year ahead will hold many challenges. On the one hand opportunities to expand your horizon will increase and on the other you might feel more inclined to stay home and close the doors! On the world scene it’s a volatile time both physically and politically! Locally enjoy the pleasures of the places and people you love!

Thought for the week: Let us take things as we find them: let us not attempt to distort them into what they are not. We cannot make facts. All our wishing cannot change them. We must use them. John Henry Cardinal Newman

Aries
March 21- April 20
The full moon really sparks the spirit of adventure that you have put aside of late! Go with the urge to embrace the new and you will reap wonderful rewards as June progresses. Remember to listen o what others have to say, some of the advice is really good! It can make the difference between a difficult journey and an easy one!

Taurus
April 21-May 21
The start of the week is excellent if you need to others to sit up and pay attention. Friends, like-minded folk and family will be supportive and more predominantly in your life this week! Remember though, that you need to thank and appreciate all those who are supporting your endeavours!

Gemini
May 22-June 21
Your communication skills are highlighted this week and will receive a much needed boost! The full moon can be an emotionally tense one for you and the temptation to overdo it can be overwhelming! Try to balance your desire for more excitement and your need for more focus! You seem torn in two directions!

Cancer
June 22- July 23
Connections with others are strengthened this week. There is a loving nurturing energy to all your interactions. It’s an easy time for strengthening your resolve and getting projects underway! It’s also a great time for organising routines and making your lifestyle really support you positively!

Leo
July 24- August 23
Old problems will miraculously find solutions this week and a new cycle of positivity begins. The only thing to concern yourself about is your energy levels which can be really drained with all the activity about at the moment. Be a little cautious around the full moon and try not to overdo it!

Virgo
August 24- September 23
The needs of someone close are likely to be taking precedence at the present time. However this week gives you a much needed boost and increases energy levels and possibilities. The full moon favours new friendships and ones that will be very helpful in the long run! Try not to do too much.

Libra
September 24- October 23
Problems in your life can have seemed far worse than they really are of late and this week it’s time to get real! A better flow is just around the corner but Uranus is still throwing a few surprises your way! Stay positive and keep smiling and most of all realise that you still have a great deal to be thankful for!

Scorpio
October 24-November 22
You are in an adventurous and passionate frame of mind at present. Watch out for the full moon though as you are apt to say too much too intensely to too many of the wrong people! The results will not be pleasant! Allow the world to unfold around you and by mid June you will be reaping some lovely rewards.

Sagittarius
November 23- December 21
The Full moon is a particularly important time for you guys and offers some excellent opportunities for your future. This is just the start of a wonderful three month period of prosperity and growth! Creativity is heightened and energy levels are good! Some excellent adventures are in store too!

Capricorn
December 22- January20
The full moon highlights career focused opportunity and you should expect to make some momentous progress! You are given many opportunities to show your true worth and embrace your initiative. The Extra work is worth it in the long run so don’t sit back! You do have to be patient with others though!!

Aquarius
January 21- February 19
You are keen to learn new things and embrace new challenges at the present time. The full moon offers some new and interesting friendships and you will enjoy following up on these. You are at the start of a new phase where exciting possibilities can become realities and a lot is on offer for your enjoyment!

Pisces
February 20 March 20
Your personal sense of self worthies set to increase again and you will feel more on track than in the past week. Trust your hunches though as they are quite accurate at the moment. If someone or something does not sit right with you, then avoid them! Watch the full moon as the tendency to over indulge is high.

Astral Peeks: relaxation by the stars:
Aries: A good adventure book or movie will get these guys to slow down! Taurus: Indulging in a day spa with all the extras! Gemini: Like time to read write and reflect, their idea of relaxation is camping holiday somewhere close to home. Cancer: Cozing up on the couch with a hot chocolate and a good book and someone to love! Leo: Generally not too good at relaxation they can be persuaded to take it easy with a luxurious meal and a glass of red! Virgo: A health retreat would suit these focused individuals fine! Libra: An exotic holiday destination sipping cocktails and soaking up the sun! Scorpio: Usually quite tense Scorpio responds well to alternative therapies, reflexology, massage, acupuncture. Sagittarius: Need to learn to slow down, they can relax doing something like tai chi which is still active. Capricorn: Sleeping in is good for their soul and lazing around the house will reenergise them! Aquarius: Meditating, and listening to new age music. Pisces: Spending time near water is relaxing for these guys, try a riverside picnic.
