May 12 – 18, 2014 The WEEK in CHINESE ASTROLOGY
May 7, 2014 § Leave a comment
Highlights this week are a full Moon on Wednesday that marks the middle of Earth Snake month, a party day on Fire Pig Friday, and a reflective golden Ox Sunday!
Mon May 12 is a sensitive Water SHEEP day. Mercury trines Mars that’s good for mental work, and people are not easily discouraged. Venus conjuncts Uranus for something new, innovative,and creative. But Venus joins the grand cross of Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. Plus Sun is opposite Saturn so work within your limitations and accept your situation. Not a day to fight or champion your cause under the influence of peaceful Sheep. Sheep day luck is strongest for Sheep, Rabbit, Horse, and Pig. Sheep hours 1 – 3 pm.
Tues May 13 is a sly Wood MONKEY (green Monkey) day. Moon, Jupiter, and Neptune are in a grand trine that brings ease and flow to life. This grand trine helps to balances the challenges of the grand cross if you seem pulled in different directions or are frustrated by delays. But Mercury sextiles Venus to lighten up, and Mercury trines Mars to handle any problem. Energy builds to full Moon tomorrow. Monkey day luck is strongest for Monkey, Rat, Dragon, and Snake. Monkey hours 3 – 5 pm.
Wed May 14 is lively Wood PHOENIX (Rooster) day, and a full Moon that marks the midpoint of this introspective Earth Snake month. A Phoenix day is naturally fortunate in a Snake month because Phoenix, Snake, and Ox are the most compatible. This full Moon conjuncts Saturn so very serious, perhaps too serious. Fortunately the full Moon trines Jupiter for well being, warmth in relationships, and generous giving. Don’t get too upset if delays from the grand cross of planets. Phoenix day luck is strongest for Phoenix, Ox, Dragon, and Snake. Phoenix hours 5 – 7 pm.
Thurs May 15 is a dedicated Fire DOG (red Dog) day. All Dog days are naturally fortunate in this Horse year. Today there are many fortunate Mercury aspects to speak your mind, and for clear communication. Venus continues to conjunct Uranus for new adventures in relationships. If feeling the heaviness of the grand cross in the heavens, a good day to work out and be active to release pent-up energy. Dog day luck is strongest for Dog, Rabbit, Tiger, and Horse. Dog hours 7 – 9 pm.
Fri May 16 is a lucky Fire PIG day. Moon trines Venus and Uranus so good to be social, hang out with friends, and ideal for a party. Interesting to depart from your normal routine and shake things up a little. The big cross continues of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto. But instead of worrying and stressing out about others, enjoy and take life easy under the influence of sensual Fire Pig. Pig day luck is strongest for Pig, Tiger, Rabbit, and Sheep. Pig hours 9 – 11 pm.
Sat May 17 an Earth RAT day to heal and get organized. Moon squares Mars and conjuncts Pluto so easy to get into a fight and argument over trivial matters. Emotions are intense, and feelings can be overwhelming. Good to write or journal to resolve problems. Or communicate to a sympathetic friend or family member. The grand cross in the heavens is frustrating for everyone so be less judgmental. Rat day luck strong for Rat, Ox, Dragon, and Monkey. Rat hours 11 pm – 1 am.
Sun May 18 is an Earth OX (gold Ox) day to appreciate what you have in life, and to enjoy the beauty of nature. An Earth Ox day is naturally fortunate in this Earth Snake month. Moon conjunct Pluto continues for intense emotions. Plus lots of squares in the heavens that can bring stress. But stay solid as and Ox and be practical. You can work slowly and patiently to build. Moon sextiles Saturn so nice to carve out some quiet time for reflection. Ox day luck strong for Ox, Rat, Snake and Phoenix (Rooster). Ox hours 1 – 3 am.
Good luck and have a great week,
Susan
Dog Day, Full Moon, and Spring Equinox
March 13, 2014 § Leave a comment
Sunday March 16 is a Full Moon in Virgo at 10:08 am PDT. Virgo is an Earth sign that rules the sixth house of health, healing, and service. Now is a good time for spring cleaning! If you’re already feeling fatigue in this Horse year, be sure to tend to your health.
This full Moon falls on the day of the Fire Dog. All Dog days are naturally lucky in this Horse year because Dog, Horse, and Tiger create a harmony trine. This full Moon sextiles Saturn, and the Sun trines Saturn, bringing needed stability and emotional control that both Virgo and Dog value.
Mercury conjuncts Neptune, and Jupiter trines Neptune, for inspiration and to follow your intuition. You can sniff out the truth on this Fire Dog full Moon! Assess what is really worth pursuing, not Horse-year whims. Use Virgo’s intelligence and analytical skills to problem solve. This full Moon energy is most strongly felt by the Earth signs Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus and those born in Phoenix (Rooster), Ox, and Snake years.
SPRING EQUINOX
Thursday March 20 is Spring Equinox at 9:57 am PDT. The Sun enters Aries to begin the solar year. Now is equal day and equal night everywhere on Earth.
The Moon conjuncts Saturn so perhaps more serious and reflective today. Plus the Moon sextiles Pluto for deeper understanding. Know you can always call me at 415.642.8019 or email susan@susanlevitt.com to schedule your tarot or astrology reading for Equinox. And if you’ve never done a feng shui consultation, this spring of Horse year could be just the right time to try something new.
Happy full Moon and Spring Equinox,
Susan
