A Look at the Planets This Week



The month ahead gives us a chance to look at how far we have come this new year; the changes we have made and/or the decisions we have made to move into a new direction. As I have wrote in previous columns, 2012 is the year of change as 2012, numerology-wise, equals the number 5; which is all about change!

One of the changes many people will be making over the next forty days is a change in relationship status. Venus which rules love and partnerships is going retrograde May 15th for 40 days. Many of us will be examining our personal relationships and either move forward or end them. Jupiter in Taurus is making aspects to Pluto which rules death and transformation. It is also making aspects to Uranus, which rules change. There will be some changes coming very soon for many of you in the area of partnerships. Some may be expected. Others may not. But because Jupiter is involved, they may be for the best.

There will be some lightbulbs going off in your head now about your love life. Some of you may feel as if you have sacrificed a lot for your mate, thinking that would please him or her when really they didn't want the things you offered up! Coming to terms with the past, the present and your future is the theme. You may decide how to refocus your energies and your life with or without this newfound knowledge.

Something is going to happen this week or perhaps someone is going to say something about your relationship that will cause you to really understand what's it all been about. If you have a partner that has been holding in resentment or a grudge against you, or perhaps you are toward your mate, it's coming out!!!!

The New Moon on May 20th at 7:48 PM EDT is a Solar Eclipse. This one relates to something you were doing 18 years ago. You are coming to a realization or finishing up something you started back in 1994.

Speaking of looking back to the past, the full moon last Saturday wraps up what we have been working on since November 2011. The new moon then, started a specific cycle in our lives. Then, there was a life crisis, directed from that, which hit in the summer of 2011. Now we will see the results of these events come full circle.

There'll be lots of realizations and "coming to terms" with the most important people in your life this week. What lies beneath the surface is bubbling to the top. Yu will uncover a lot of stuff you or your partner have been repressing. Time for healing growth and moving forward!!!
