Gemini Solar Eclipse: Double Your Pleasure
This Sunday, the Gemini new moon is also a solar eclipse — meaning bold new beginnings could be coming our way, ready or not! Gemini rules communication, so this eclipse could bring exciting and unexpected news. Keep your smartphone handy, check the mailbox and see who rings you up for a hangout this weekend. New friendships and alliances could spring up, as Gemini rules the Twins. You could meet your “other half” or a kindred spirit!
Last Days of Taurus: Work Your Plan
Plant those seeds! The Sun is finishing its visit to earthy Taurus this week. The next three days are great for getting your life, health and finances in order. This is the time to tackle your to-do list, knocking off those tedious but essential items one by one. But should you suffer? No way! Taurus may be a down-to-brass-tacks Earth sign, but it’s ruled by beautifying Venus. This sign is the zodiac’s “sensual pragmatist.” So try to have some pleasure while you work!
Venus Retrograde in Gemini: 5/15-6/27
It takes two to make a thing go … wrong? Venus, planet of love and harmony, will be retrograde (moving backward) from May 15 through June 27. When a planet goes retrograde, its powers dim down, and things under its rulership can go a bit haywire. So with our planetary peacekeeper taking a nap, it will be up to us scrappy humans to get along on our own. You can imagine what a bang-up job we’ll do with THAT one, right?
Mother’s Day Forecast: Misty-Eyed Moments
A sentimental Mother’s Day is in store this Sunday, as the Moon (ruler of femininity and motherhood) meets compassionate, dreamy Neptune in its home sign of Pisces. Prepare to get emotional and nostalgic. As the ruler of film and photography, Pisces invites us for a trip down memory lane, perhaps looking through old slideshows, videos and childhood photo albums. You might even schedule a professional portrait session for the family as a gift.Mercury in Taurus: Talking Brass Tacks
Facts and figures might not be sexy, but being powerfully aware of numbers can actually be freeing. Communication planet Mercury is in Taurus, ruler of all things practical (and the zodiac’s second house of work and money) from May 9 through May 24. This is a great time to budget, plan your finances, step on the scale and take a “just the facts” approach to your life. Mercury in Taurus takes the drama out of it. Yes indeed, A plus B does still equal C, and 2 plus 2 is 4.
Scorpio Full Moon & "Super-Moon": Intensity!
Intensity alert! This Saturday is a full moon in Scorpio, ruler of intimacy and transformation (along with wealth, sex, birth, death, taxes, reproduction … pretty much anything extreme). As if that wasn’t enough of a rush, this is a perigee moon, or supermoon — meaning the moon is incredibly close to the earth (and should be a gorgeous sight). It will be the biggest, brightest moon of the year. (For more on this, see this article.)
May Love Forecast: Flowers, Then Showers
Tomorrow is May already — the year is whizzing by! — and there’s a little romantic prevention alert we’d like to issue as the calendar turns. For the first half of May, love planet Venus will be happily cruising along in Gemini, the sign of the Twins. Getting on the same page as your sweetie is easy during this cycle, as twins tend to “mirror” each other. If you’re single, flirty banter and fun dialogue should flow easily.
Ashton & Mila: Do Opposite Signs Attract?
Former “That ’70s Show” costars Ashton Kutcher (an Aquarius) and Mila Kunis (a Leo) are heating up the rumor mill. Although they haven’t confirmed a romance, they’ve been spotted on a getaway in Carpinteria, California. So, how do these two fare astrologically? Leo and Aquarius are opposite signs, which means they can have strong chemistry but also some polarizing differences. The most notorious celeb couple of this combo? Leo Whitney Houston and Aquarius Bobby Brown.
