Zuri's Astrological Starcast for May 2009

Happy birthday Taurus! Plant the seeds of success this month as the sun moves into Taurus, grounding our energies and solidifying our plans with tangible rewards. Unleash the financial hero within and take charge when the May Angel, Ambriel, sprinkles unexpected opportunities through new job offers and ways to supplement our income. Watch for the green light your angels send through intuitive signs to get you moving in a positive direction. Once you plant the seeds of success, your dreams will bear prosperous fruit.

May 1st through May 3rd
Happy May! We kick off the weekend honoring the blessings of Beltane, a celebration of fertility, beauty, playfulness, passion and magic. Under the Friday Leo moon, meditate on the lessons of the Greenman to ground your energies in Mother Earth and foster awareness of mastery over any struggle placed before you. Spend some time in nature and your faery friends will reawaken the childlike splendor that exists within. Their answer to any problem is prescribing an abundance of laughter and play. When you feel good, you look good. Be amazing to yourself by taking pride in your appearance and health. On Saturday, schedule a spa day, get some exercise and find new ways to amplify your inner and outer beauty. You are worth it. Do some self-Reiki to fuel your body with strength and primordial power! On Sunday, the moon heads into practical Virgo, calling to action any projects that need to be completed. Clear out clutter from the garage, finish that painting or remodeling project and get your affairs sorted so you can start the week off right.

May 4th through May 10th
Monday's demanding Virgo moon brings structure, organization and order to your day. Is uncertainty about an issue rearing its head? It's the perfect time to investigate and get the facts and figures. Ask your angelic committee to illuminate the truth and cleanse away any illusion so you can move forward with confidence. The Libran moon on Tuesday brings balance to our personal relationships and partnerships. Some relationships finally get the solid footing they need to move to the next level now that the sun is in Taurus. Others may experience closure as the imbalances are too much to overcome. But, regardless the outcome, you will be much better off and on your way to the right soul pairing. On Wednesday, say hello to Mercury retrograding in Gemini until May 13th. Since Mercury rules the sign of Gemini, expect miscommunication over any activities dealing with writing, public speaking, teaching, and radio media. Computers and electronics may also feel the effects of this phase so make sure all of your important material is backed up and be prepared to have to go over details a few times before everything gets resolved. It's during this retrograde that things we had not previously considered will be brought to our attention for revision and improvement. So writers and creators alike will find it to be an opportune time to get it right before sending it off for final approval. With the Scorpion moon on Thursday, the Mercury Retrograde may bring hidden secrets, within ourselves or from others, to the surface to be processed. During Friday's full moon in Scorpio, the Universe tilts the odds in our favor so that lottery wins, legal situations, insurance claims transform into windfalls and prosperity rituals to land extra cash go more favorably. Invoke the power of the Goddess Lakshmi to help you stumble upon a great job opportunity or to have an amazing offer come out of the blue. Don't limit yourself to a specific road to create the success you deserve - allow the Universe to surprise you with bigger and better ways of getting to the same outcome! On Saturday, the Sagittarius moon boosts our mood and takes us by the hand to go explore and have fun. It's also a perfect time to look into special training or higher education to turn that dream career into a physical reality. Happy Mother's Day! On Sunday, show your mom how much you care by spending quality time with her and giving her a gift that reflects careful thought and love.

May 11th through 17th
Monday's archer moon inspires us to adopt a healthier lifestyle through an optimistic mindset, making wise dietary choices and a new exercise program. Cleanse away self limiting belief structures and emotional baggage by being open to new ways of living and alter the course of your destiny. Cultivate fitness by marrying alternative healing with traditional medicine. Explore shamanic work and theta healing for true holistic wellness. Tuesday's Capricorn moon will prioritize getting business affairs in order. Emotional sharing will be on hiatus until this moonscape passes, so don't take a partner's distant behavior too personally. S/he may just be particularly sensitive to the energies of this emotionally reserved sign. Save all those heart to hearts for the weekend. Wednesday heralds the entrance of Mercury in Taurus, urging caution when it comes to negotiations and communications surrounding money and business. Mistakes and miscommunication are highly likely so make sure to go over everything with a fine toothed comb. Thursday places emphasis on getting work done until the moon slips into Aquarius, shifting the direction towards socializing and thinking outside of the box. Friday's Aquarius moon encourages internet research and looking into ways to solve a problem through intuitive flashes. If you've felt you can't get a handle on anything these last few months, breathe a sigh of relief as Saturn goes direct on Saturday. Saturn will be re-establishing boundaries and bringing order to our worlds, especially to areas of work and health, thanks to Virgo. We can finally be more disciplined and move forward with plans that were put on hold since last December. On Sunday, the moon slips into mystical Pisces, allowing us to tap into our psychic and creative outlets to bring physical manifestation of our dreams and goals. This is a wonderful time to meditate, journal and pray for answers. Go within and listen to the messages your angels and guides are sending intuitively to create prosperity.

May 18th through May 24th
Your subconscious is speaking to you in your dreams and through signs in your environment, whispering that big change is in the air and right around the corner. Whether it's starting a family, relocating to a new city, or even pursuing your lifework through that dream career, the Pisces moon on Monday is empowering you to pay attention to the breadcrumbs and breakthroughs the Universe is placing on your path that you are ready to live free and rely on yourself to accomplish your goals. Fear from taking risks keep so many in a holding pattern. Call upon Archangel Michael to instill great strength and confidence in your decision making and Archangel Chamuel for guidance in finding the right path that leads to your happiness. On Tuesday, we are tempted to escape into romantic and artistic pursuits so take in a new exhibit, go see an indy film or get some insight into karmic or past life patterns through a psychic or astrological reading. Even a Reiki session may provide answers about the root cause of any energy blockages to physical wellness. On Wednesday, a boost of fire with the Aries moon propels our thoughts into motion, resulting in a take charge attitude to make any desires happen in an instant. If you can think it, you can achieve it. This energy will continue through Thursday as the Universe acts like a magical drive thru, taking orders and creating miracles through positive intent matched with proactive effort. Grab the bull by the horns as the moon charges into Taurus on Friday. Meditate on the Chariot tarot card to blast through any blocks and pave the way to your success. With angelic intervention, we can get up and moving back to our dreams with financial assistance and a helping hand. Our relationship with ourselves and how we think about our prosperity will be the theme on Saturday, as the sun in Gemini shifts our thoughts to finding ways to heal those perceptions and co-create the life we were meant to live. Make a wish on the Gemini new moon on Sunday! It will empower all our communications and spark magical results for those ready to write a book, give a speech or offer a proposal. Meditate on the Magician tarot card to market and get your message out there, whether it's joining a dating site or even promoting your business!

May 25th through May 31st
Monday kicks off with curiosity of the people and world around us. Inspired ideas will come effortlessly, stimulating lots of communication, new research and information to be taught and shared. Tuesday's Cancerian moon encourages positive feedback from loved ones as emotions will be flowing and easily expressed. Tune into your feelings for profound revelations. Apply the law of attraction on Wednesday to fulfill heart based wishes. Thursday's Leo moon supports networking with people in positions of authority to make an exceptional impression. Send out those resumes, schedule interviews and impress with your qualifications. This will be your moment to shine. Put your best foot forward and knock 'em dead! The weekend promises a lighter atmosphere with invitations to go out and party with friends on Friday. Saturday will have our analytical and critical sides awakening as the moon spends time in Virgo. If you find yourself probing into missing details, this phase will shed light and bring awareness one way or the other so you can move forward. With Mercury going direct on the 31st and Mars moving into the sign of Taurus, this is a perfect time to start a new business, invest money or create anything that increases our earning potential. We'll be able to move with purpose and transform our thoughts into tangible and prosperous action.
