APRIL/MAY 2011

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Build foundations. Find solid ground. Foundations aren’t necessarily built of bricks and mortar. They are even more firm if they are made of self-worth. Experiment with receiving. Start with a massage, or a bodywork session. It may end with receiving somebody’s heart.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)
If you have a bumpy start, know that it bodes well for what follows. Life, feelings and stars are cyclic. Discomfort leads to comfort and back again. Venus, the Goddess of Love, is heading for Taurus but she takes a circuitous trail. Giggle at the habit of taking the hard path.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)
You shift from being nudged and bumped into taking a difficult step, to realizing that it wasn’t so scary after all. This fear you face is the fear of not knowing who you’ll be if you make a massive change. It is unfounded. You will be even more yourself if you follow your heart.

CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)
From shifting, dancing emotions, to flitting, playful ideas – the emotional phase is confusing. There is much flowing through your system that is deeply felt – but for a while there clarity takes a holiday. And then out of the blue it returns! View the whole process with wonder.

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Get out of all the fire and passion that keeps you going up and out, and come down and in – starting with your body. It’s easy to arc up and then get caught in dramas of our own making. It takes awareness to stay attuned to presence and being. Begin with the senses.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
The first step is invariably wonky. As you put your foot down, it seems like the tectonic plates are shifting beneath you. They aren’t of course. The wobble is all coming from the inside. To be temporarily rattled is a good thing. Life is opening you up for greater beauty.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
Love ends up wrapping you in its arms and melting you into a puddle – but it doesn’t start there. Which would you rather have - a rough beginning and a good end, or a smooth start followed by a complete meltdown? Be shaken. It is life opening you up. Trust it, totally.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
Authority – that old chestnut – rears its head again. The Scorpio habit is to hide. There are feelings around this whole issue of authority that aren’t being served at all well, by this ancient habit. Bring what you feel out into the sunshine, so you can see it and heal it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The general planetary drift is from impulsive Aries, to more solid Taurean goings on. Though you love it when your adrenal glands are firing up, unless there is truth to be had in the adventure, your energy levels slowly wear down. Go for the nourishing bliss of the senses.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It hasn’t been easy to consider the nature of your actions, because life has been so full-on you’ve had to make most of your decisions on the fly. Having operated from your gut, you probably got most of them right. Now you can start to slow down and reflect. Be sure you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Neptune has been in your part of the universe for years. He has been melting you, dissolving you, popping your soapbubble dreams and at the same time been virtually impossible to get a grasp on. He is gone. Clarity will turn up where muddleheadedness had taken root.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
With Neptune now dipping into your sign, you are smack bang in the middle of a historical moment. Neptune moves slowly. It’s rare for Pisceans to have a visit from their ruling planet. The ocean meets the fish. Here comes a big chance for integration and understanding.
