Horoscope May 8 – 14

Tip of the Week:

Our world or, more specifically, modern civilization is taking a sharp turn. Many changes from new and pivotal advances in technology rising daily to new surveillance laws being introduced which present notions of protecting people yet which severally limit rights and freedoms, to changes made with very little public notice to national constitutions, to the legalization of marijuana in various states, to a global economic slowdown including mass layoffs produced by drastic changes in the price of oil, and the list goes on….

These are all synchronizing with powerful planetary alignments and sign positions. Uranus and Pluto in particular are both in Cardinal signs which indicate pioneering initiatives and new beginnings of all kinds. The fact that they have been forming a close and powerful square aspect over the past few years and will experience yet one more in January 2016 suggests that we are not through this powerful turn yet, not even close.

The main challenge as ever is our capacity to adapt to these changes and the social realities that are undergoing the revolutionary changes that are synchronizing with them. This is where Astrology can help a lot. It provides an objective perspective woven with themes and timing that can prove very useful very navigating through these turbulent times and waters. On my website under Readings you can learn more about the many angles of perspective available.
