Hello everyone.
This week continues this month’s relatively easy and fulfilling trend. No difficult planetary aspects mark the sky and in fact, there’s a couple which are full of promise, supportive and invigorating. We’re in the waning phase of the Moon, with its tone of letting go of the current projects on our desks, and we’re beginning to prepare for the next monthly cycle which begins with the Solar Partial Eclipse on June 1st.
Monday
This is an excellent day for coming to agreements, ones that will stand the test of time. With Venus conjunct Mars in Taurus, there’s an ability to commit to a lasting bond and to put that commitment to practical use. Each time two planets meet in the sky it brings energies together in a new way for a new cycle. This week’s meeting forges a new bond between our creative juices and the ability to take the action necessary to reach tangible outcomes. It can set up a cycle that will continue to produce results until the next time Venus and Mars come together, which is in April 2013.
How can you take advantage of today’s conjunction? Put your creative team together with your operations people; you could be surprised how well they work together and the practical yet elegant solutions they come up with. You don’t have to do it yourself today; the people around you can take the reins and set the new cycle in motion.
If you’re a one-or-two person shop like I am, grounded, steady work today will lead to great results. It may be slow-going and tedious at times but just take up one concrete task after another. At the end of the day you’ll have produced something valuable, something with legs that will set a firm foundation for the next couple of years.
Wednesday
Uranus entered Aries earlier this year, marking the beginning of a new 84-year cycle of innovation and invention. Initiative, spontaneity, change, and breakthrough are some of the keywords of Uranus in Aries.
On Wednesday, with the Sun in Gemini forming a sextile to Uranus, you are likely to encounter information which gives you a peek into where this new Uranus cycle is taking you. You could recognize an opportunity for growth and development; something that may have been lingering in the back of your mind could take shape. Take the time to synthesize information from a number of sources and you’ll see the pattern. This is an energizing aspect, bright and alert.
Go easy on the coffee this week though; this Sun/Uranus aspect will provide plenty of nervous energy and caffeine may jangle your nerves just a little too much.
Have a great week!

Love this. Have a meeting planned for Tuesday to do precisely what you suggest on Monday. Maybe I’ll see if I can get it together Monday instead. Nice.
Thank you for your constant work for our benefit.

That’s so cool, Nicole. Hope it goes really well. The energy should linger into Tuesday so either day is fine. Good luck!
