Astrology for the week of May 7, 2012

The theme for this week is acceptance.  Now this one is a tricky one because it brings up a host of emotions for you.  To start with, you have heard that your resistance stops what you want to experience from happening.  Therefore, you try the forced “raise your vibration” and you avoid saying anything negative.  Quickly you discover that it does not work.  You cannot believe it because you have been doing everything right.  You have been being positive and you do want your desires to manifest.  There is no resistance as far as you are concerned and yet you find yourself on the endless hamster wheel of life.  So, this is the key.  Accept where you are right now is absolutely perfect.  Yes, your life is challenging and you have no money. It is the perfect example of obstacles and poverty.  Accept that this is where you are now and then tell yourself that you are going to be happy anyway.  Approach your life with the attitude that even if nothing ever changes, you will be happy. You will find something that gives you joy.  This is how you get out of the hole that you are in - by being truly happy and not a pretense or motions of positivity.

Wednesday, May 9, Mercury enters Taurus through May 24.  This energy will support practical, intuitive thinking that will bring realistic ideas and concepts to the surface.  Keywords for Mercury in Taurus are resourceful, productive, and stable.  Instead of your thinking  being all over the place as it was the past month, your thoughts will be slower, deliberate, and useful.

Thursday, May 10, Mercury will sextile Neptune, which will bring spirituality to the forefront.  Focus on combining personal integrity and making money.  It can be done.  Today also is the beginning of a Grand Trine that will peak on May 14.  Mercury, Mars, and Pluto will be working in harmony, creating the conditions for new beginnings for practical goals.  This is the perfect time to start a new job, business, or revamp an existing one.

Saturday, May 12, we will experience a wonderful transit that will last 2 years.  Pluto and Chiron will be sextile which is positive energy for healing.  Pluto is death and rebirth and Chiron is healing. Let a new you be born.  This is what 2012 is all about.  It is the end of the old you but also the beginning of a new expanded you. This is so exciting.

Sunday, May 13, the Sun is in conjunction with Jupiter, which will amplify the energy of a new you.  The Sun is the Self and Jupiter is opportunity.

The card that I pulled for this week is Doreen Virtue’s angel card, “ASK.”  “Ask us to help you in this situation, and we will immediately go to work on your behalf.  We are governed by many universal laws, and among them is the free will that allows you to make your own choices and decisions.  So we patiently await your request.”
