MOON ENTERS ARIES - May 12 2007
The Aries Moon has a higher energy level and can be aggressive and self focused. There us a strong need for action and problem solving. During this time you may seek independence and be short tempered, confrontational and challenging. Here can be a single minded mission or the potential to start something from scratch. The daily tones are noisier and less tolerant then other Moon signs. There might be an absence of social grace or pleasantries but not lacking in charm. This is an emotionally demanding period and can be filled with a need for sexual release. Assertiveness is seen everywhere and some people or other critters just will not take no for an answer. On the positive note you may begin projects you have held off. On the other side of that you may not finish them either. Plant onions. Good time to weed the garden and kill insects.

MARS SQUARE PLUTO - Exact May 13 2007
Brief description: I call this "the steamroller aspect". Steamrollers when used for the purpose intended are powerfully effective for flattening the surface to create a flat hard top for a new road. On a symbolic level it may indicate that those in a position of power may mow others down with greed and a severe competitive drive at the root of the intention. On a positive note, the objective is to accomplish a mission at all cost and pull out all stops. Therefore for those planning to take charge of life and redesign a new path, may succeed in erasing all existing remnants of the past or current setting to assure a new future. This combination allows for very serious strategic planning and allow one to cut a new design. Impatience shortchanges strategic plans that may affect failure. Speeders get speeding tickets. Over drawn bank account. Pornography.
The physiological indications are for a necessary surgery; irritable bowl disorder. Psychological indications may include a fear of being "raked over hot coals"; obsessive drives and behaviors; some may experience a bout of paranoia with difficulty discriminating between reality and tricks of the mind. This may be true for those in positions of power who feel threatened by both insiders and outsiders. Deep nervous tension that is hard to sort through. Good day to process anger in your therapist's office. .There are strong sexual urges with this combination. A strong drive for dramatic core change.
For personal use: Get serious about your future. Avoid allowing strong sexual urges to interfere with your primary objective. This is a time for personal transformation. Access your own power and reflect on help from those in positions of power but do not approach them unless you are the one in a powerful seat. Break out of the grip of the monkey on your back.

MOON ENTERS TAURUS - May 14 2007
The Moon in Taurus is in its exaltation which normally indicates that there is a graciousness and honor of some sort. When the Moon is in Taurus, there tends to be a focus on finances, and often money comes through on these days. This is the Moon of tradition, concerned with matters of the family and gatherings. It is usually “food first” for Taurus Moons. Bonding is more apparent with loved ones. There is a need to get more grounded and find some peace and quiet. You may be carting about people or supplies. (Before automated vehicles, the bull pulled carts of supplies and people.) Taurus Moons can be lazier and more indulgent than usual. This can be a slow-moving couple of days with no rushing and lower blood pressure. The bull is more sensitive than they appear being also stubborn and not easily pulled off track. If there is a sense of being pressured this could incite rage especially if plans change without consulting the bull and then securing his/her approval. It’s better to suggest than push. Find a way to make your pitch, sale or emotional plea politically palatable, practical and profitable to please and capture your benefactors’ attention. Remain sensitive and patient while watching the object of your attention become interested in your product. Making a pitch or sale with the Moon in Taurus can be tedious but you are often speaking to someone who has the means to fund your project or buy your products. If your can remember they don’t want to be pushed, they want to be seduced you will have much better luck. If you seem to be interested only in money you will loose their respect. When the Moon is in Taurus people like to buy things that are sensual to the touch. Fabrics need to be comfortable and relaxed but of high quality. Flannels, cottons and very soft wools are sought. Lots of food items, cooking and indoor/outdoor gardening are high on the activity list. This is a time to be nurtured and be nurturing. If the Taurus Moon occurs on an otherwise good day your powers of manipulation are strong. Your ability to move to the head of the line or the top of the list are greater today. Apply for a loan or mortgage. Excellent for planting flowers and beautiful bushes. If you are a Taurus, matters tend to go your way.

MOON ENTERS CANCER - May 18 2007
The Cancer Moon is a nesting time and the desire to retreat and protect one's vulnerable underbelly is greater. The baby side of people surfaces and emotions are highly visible if you are at all able to get close enough as very often people are "crabby". This is a time to nurture and find a way to nurture yourself. People stick to their clans and cliques being less likely to socialize with outsiders and seem to be comfortable with close family members.

SUN QUINCUNX PLUTO - Exact May 19 2007
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.

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. Do 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.
