Let’s Get Physical: and Produce Results

By James Jarvis, M.A.

With the Sun and Mercury in earthy Taurus this month, we are getting help in producing tangible results in material form. Look at your goals for the year and brainstorm activities that will get you closer to your goal. Next, prioritize those activities and schedule them into your daily life.

Take a look at how passion figures into your life as Venus passes through the sign of Aries from May 3-29. What do you get passionate about? What can you do now that increases your sense of aliveness? By tapping into your passion you also tap into your dharma; that sense of mission or purpose that will give your life increased meaning and joy.

Use Mercury in Taurus May 5-19 to help you formulate your values and then construct a plan for implementing these values into your life. For thinking/sensate type personalities this is pretty easy; just make lists of things to do and then prioritize them. For intuitive/feeler types, try brainstorming what you are passionate about.

Mars in Cancer is in positive relationship with Jupiter May 5-8, Uranus May 6-9 and Neptune from May 6-8. Mars/Jupiter allows our will (Mars) to flow with our idealism (Jupiter.) Mars/Uranus asks us to resolve any built-up tensions, whether on a physical, emotional or mental level. With Mars/Neptune you learn to surrender your attachment to outcome. By surrendering, you tap into grace and flow with life rather than fighting it.

Communicating what we need to feel bonded emotionally and physically is highlighted with the full Moon at 22 degrees Scorpio on May 13. The challenge this month is to acknowledge the need for bonding even though you may feel vulnerable, or fear that others might reject you if you look too needy.

Mercury traveling through the sign of Gemini May 20-June 3 brings a focus on communication and the dissemination of information. With Mercury in Gemini our minds want to be active and engaged. This is a great month to write letters, make short trips, take a course that enlivens your mind or just get together with friends for some lively and far-ranging conversations about what’s going on in the world.

With Neptune retrograde, May 22-Oct. 28, we see how connected we are to being guided by spirit. Use this retrograde period before Neptune goes direct on Oct. 28, to really ground your spiritual practice.

With Mars in Cancer in hard aspect to Pluto in Sagittarius May 26-28 you can learn to tap into your warrior energy for humanitarian and peaceful causes.

For Sun, Moon and Rising Signs

Taurus (April 21-May 21) There is a strong need to connect with like-minded community this month. Is there a class or course that you’ve wanted to take? Doing so will help you emotionally and intellectually.

Gemini (May 22-June 20) You may be more sensitive than usual. Notice if what you are feeling is coming from you or from those around you. Verify your feelings by checking-in with others.

Cancer (June 21- July 20) Defending the underdog is your path this month. You’re like the mother bear who is really mellow until you mess with her cubs. Look for ways to express your “public defender.”

Leo (July 21- Aug 22) Communication at work, particularly with women, is highlighted this month. Make sure you clean up any messes and that you’re keeping your word and doing what you say you’ll do.

Virgo (Aug. 23- Sept. 22) Your power this month comes from speaking your truth. You have the ability to be direct that will help you get to the core of an issue. Remember: “the truth will set you free!”

Libra (Sept. 23- Oct. 22) Self-reflection is key for you right now. If possible, arrange to take some sort of retreat where you can sort through all your thoughts. It’s time to give yourself some rest and relaxation.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) With the full moon in Scorpio 5/13 you are much more visible than usual. If you need to apply for a new job, promote yourself, or get help from people in high places, now’s the time!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec 20) You might not be as “sunny” as you’re used to this month. There’s some deep, internal processing going on. Allow yourself to be OK with it and it will bring new understanding.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan 20) Feel like you’ve got one foot on the brake and one on the gas? It’s not surprising as your energy is all bottled up. Try to find a creative outlet to release this tension.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) You’re always changing but even more so this month particularly in conjunction with your work. By being flexible and open to travel you might realize new opportunities.

Pisces (Feb 19-March 20) What are you passionate about in your life? Finding activities that you’re passionate about will seriously boost your energy now. It’s important to include fun in the equation too!

Aries (March 21-April 20) You may be feeling restless and impatient. There is a deep desire for inner change that you can’t escape. Start with changes at home that will make your environment more serene.
