for all signs…

The last weekend in April I sat in my backyard listening to a good friend and seer on the phone from Encinitas, one of the best psychics I’ve ever met and she said flat out, “Bohemia Is Over.” While I made this assessment in my own life as my son just turned four and I find myself enjoying play dates more than play mates, I could sense what she was referring to. “It’s back to picket fences and community” she proclaimed and in her voice I could hear that we had very little choice. That’s the theme music of The Waltons” playing in the background of planet drama right now. Saturn continues to grind, pestle on mortar in Virgo making us aware of limitations regarding health and resources.

“Ceres” is the goddess of grain and she is also an esoteric manifestation of Virgo. Virgo rises in September at the time of harvest when Ceres rules. Is it any coincidence that we would begin to experience grain shortages while Saturn the taciturn parent exerts its force and dominion on Virgo? Limitation is Saturn’s keyword and when we see it conjoined in Virgo (Ceres/Grain), I think you get the picture.

Saturn in Virgo is demanding that we get a handle on our resources and this is a great time for all signs to make sure that you’ve got enough around to feed your “family” or “community.” But that doesn’t change what’s going on in the rest of the world, just know that being self-sufficient could become more than an alternative lifestyle choice for many in the months and years to come.

The new moon in Taurus arrives on May 5th and is conjunct in Venus in Taurus. This is an incredibly sensual energy and it’s a great time to plant seed of all kinds, from ideas to flowers, to lives. If there are any women reading this who are trying to have a baby, 5/5 are prime numbers—get my drift?

Pluto continues it’s retrograde dance and it is favorable for all of those who have waited on filing taxes. If you’ve filed for an extension this is a fortuitous period that will allow you to make sure you’re getting all the credits you deserve.

Neptune goes retrograde as well while The Sun is in Gemini, expect illusions to be revealed with the slip of a tongue, a time of minor revelations while the mouth has a mind of it’s own.

Let’s look at the individual planets.
