MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN - May 15 2006 10:59 pm
Hard-working Capricorn Moons are dead serious about their work. The "rules" command the day. Progress and status are important. Important people that "count" are around, as well as people you can count on. You are your own presentation, and caring about what other people think is often more important. The tone might be something like, "It is not as important to be happy as it is to be correct and successful." Make sure all your ducks are in a row. As a result, the pressure is great to be successful. Criticism runs high during Capricorn Moons and if you have not invited criticism as a constructive asset you could receive a blow to your confidence. This can be a time when people are more sensitive or very thin skinned. Capricorn can often expose matters of low self-esteem and gloomy feelings. There tends to be an emotional coldness during this time. Fathers, bosses, and authority figures are the main characters at the time of the Capricorn Moon. Architecture, big business and corporate structures are the focus. Plant bushes and trees. Root crops.

SUN QUINCUNX PLUTO - Exact May 17 2006 1:14 am
Brief description: This is a health aspect in both mental and physical realms. The nature of the quincunx is that of adjustments that need to be made as a result of an upset. This is a "life's-messy clean-it-up" aspect that can be mentally tormenting. Pluto rules deep psychological change that is usually precipitated by some cathartic event. Now the Sun and Pluto connect at this angle to expose subjects that have been missing, closed or buried. Matters involving healthcare workers, police, mortgages, taxes, money-lenders and major leaders could come into the light in an uncomfortable setting. This particular aspect may lead to connections in high places.
For personal use: A disruptive event involving family, close friends and outsiders could be the source of problems. Lay low, operate with integrity and compassion when dealing with intense drama. Be part of the solution. Resist saying, "I told you so" and allow time to pick up the pieces. Try window-shopping for a house or get away for a while. Engage in mindless tasks to release stress.
For business use: Function within legal lines. If your project comes to a dead stop, consider new possibilities. Nothing is worth risking your mental or physical health. Use this time to clean up.

MARS QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Exact May 17 2006 2:46pm
Brief description: Imaginative actions. If you are artistic you may find this time filled with musical and poetic composition. This aspect can also related to self doubt and a lack of firm commitment. Adjustments needed due to a loss of energy. This may apply to major sources of energy such as electrical plants and energy source refineries. The loss of energy may apply to workers as if they walked off the job, or soldiers walk off the battle field. Physical energy loss as well may increase fatigue yet interrupt sleep patterns. This can be a very creative aspect that is often associated with romantic notions and plans centered on ideal settings. This may work terrific for film productions or stage. Efforts may be perceived to be out of touch with reality or impractical. There is a weakening of the larger objective. Perceptions can be "out there" and often a misguided direction sends one off on a wild goose chase. For those that operate under the influence of substances or while in a state of extreme confusion, beware of accidents and unpleasant obstacles. On the other hand a lack of confidence may cause one to retreat. There is a likelihood of foggy or wet weather conditions.
For personal use: Keep fresh batteries in your flashlight and back up your files. Feed motional reactions into your creative projects. Expect a spiritual response. Look for inspiration.
