May 2003

Well we have seen a beautiful full moon on 16th May 2003, a powerful Moon as it opposed the Sun which was sitting on Algol. Even more so as in 2 weeks we will have the New Moon eclipse in Gemini. Full moons mean the endings of things, the culmination of events. This new moon I thought is a very reflective one, a looking in the mirror at yourself so it would be interesting to see what is in my chart in the next few weeks how this could materialise in my chart. What door was closing, so that the new moon could open a new one.

The Full Moon lay across my 1st to 7th House, well there was no ending of relationships as there was no relationship to end. Sad. But I looked on the bright side, Venus will enter my 7th house from 20th May and in the sign of Taurus so its a strong Venus. Mercury moving
forward again in the 7th house. Am I looking forward to that, every time Mercury goes backward in the sky, things tend to go wrong at work. Post gets lost, the computers go wrong and being in telesales, people at the other end of the phone will swear black is white. Mercury in Taurus as well, it effects money, so I cannot wait for it to go forward. Mercury will square Jupiter on 24th May, so I will not be making any journeys that day, but it will conjunct Venus on the 27th May so that will be a nice day to meet someone although with Venus squaring Neptune, do not get drunk Gill!!

Another transit to watch for is Mars as it transits my Sun in the fourth house and at the same time will be sextile to Pluto in my second house. Home, money - perhaps having the energy to spend money on the home and get things done. That new washing matching I have been promising myself for months now, and the new fridge which I have been promising for years!! I could have an argument with my Dad about money, well he is a Scorpio, so control of money is an issue with him but the problem is he isn't known for arguing. Like a typical Scorpio he loves to be in control of everything and says bluntly ' I am not arguing with you, I am telling you' Scorpio or what!! So I guess I will rule out the argument with Dad then.

The Moon eclipses Venus on the 29th May just before the New Moon eclipse.

That's the door opening, I will so look forward to that!
