Astrological Info April/May 2008

With some of the major players in retrograde for both April and May, many of you are wondering if you will ever move forward in your particular situation. It feels as if you have been "super-glued" with certain issues keeping you stuck in neutral.
The good news is you have until May 3, to really, really sort out exactly which direction you want to go. Saturn (restructuring, discipline) is moving in direct motion then, and will allow this "stuck" feeling to move with proactive postures from you regarding the issues in your life that need "restructuring". Wherever Saturn is in your natal chart, will reveal what needs attention. However, it will take until the first week in August to move over the degree that it actually went retrograde in Nov. 07, which means that even though you may feel the infusion of new energy, you might have to wait until August to see tangible results. As Paul said in the Bible, "Be ye anxious for nothing" -hmmmm, as I say "easier said than done".
The blessing is that with Mercury in Taurus, there can be some very real progress with certain issues in your life that you are interested in seeing tangible results, financially, or emotionally. So dig in - see it, feel it, know it - whatever "it" is, you have until April 17th to move some things in a positive direction. With the support between Pluto (upheaval, profound change) and Saturn, feel comfort in knowing for a few months, we can effect major changes in our lives, without everything falling apart externally. So, get busy. This is not a time to sit by, and let life happen, be willing to throw out anything that is past the "due date".
May brings a Super New Moon in Taurus on May 5th. This brings a couple of weeks with intense weather patterns, as well as intense focus on our emotional well being, and survival issues of relationship needs, sexuality, and self worth.
With the full Moon in the last degrees of Scorpio May 19th, you can bet this will bring some very significant transformation in the area where it falls in your natal chart. I guarantee wherever you have been playing it safe, trying to hold onto something, or someone that doesn't serve you on the highest level, a shift will occur. Pluto takes no prisoners. It is do, or die time.
If you are not online with Oprah, and Eckhart, please pick up the book, or CDs at East/West Bookstore. A New Earth is a must read - listen to - watch for ALL of us inhabiting planet earth at this time. We all must participate, if we are to have needed changes.
Blessings!
