Spring has finally sprung or maybe not, at least not in southern California yet. The New Moon for this month's activity was actually back on April 27th at 7 degrees and 24 minutes of Taurus. The Full Moon is this month is on May 12th at 22 degrees and 23 minutes of Scorpio.

This month's Moon cycle is one of the two strongest cycles of the entire year. With the other one being the New Moon in Scorpio and the Full Moon in Taurus occurring in November. Both of these Moon cycles on a mundane or worldly way deal with our handling of finances, personal resources and possessions. Far more importantly in a more emotional and spiritual way these Moon cycles deal with our very own personal value systems, innate abilities and talents.

Both these Moon cycles are a great time for cleansing both ourselves (the body) and our stuff (tool and environment). The difference between the two Moon cycles is the direction of the energy flow. With the New Moon in Taurus and Full Moon in Scorpio it is about taking what is on the outside or material and pulling it in and reflecting on it. With the New Moon in Scorpio and Full Moon in Taurus it is about bringing what is on the inner plain or field and manifesting it on the outer or physical plain.

FORECAST  BY  SIGN

ARIES: Any financial dealings you deal with or engage in can either benefit you or cost you dearly. Which way the pendulum swings will depend on how you approach and handle the situation. If you are clear with your intent and are not greedy than all will work out well but on the other hand should you become too concerned with the outcome. You may end up with the short end of the stick.

TAURUS: It has been way too long since you really took a good look at your body and how well or maybe not that you have been taking care of it. Now that you are on the line, take the necessary time to figure out a regular healthier regiment and routine to support your body. If you don't it may end up not cooperating with you much longer. You can only push yourself along so far.

GEMINI: Watch out what you say about others especially in the work place. Long forgotten gossip or secrets will now be revealed. Just be sure you have had no part in this unsavory activity. If necessary just play plain stupid or plead the fifth. Your love for chatter can be endearing but also cause others to point the finger at you. Just sit back and listen and watch all the fireworks.

CANCER: Friends or social organizations you are involved with may need your assistance but are afraid to ask. Offer your help but stick to the plan or what is required of you and refrain from trying to take over even if you think you know what is best. This is not the time to alienate anybody because if you do it won't be them but be you. Be the team player not the team captain.

LEO: Now is the time to be bold and brazen you are really in the spot. No kidding. Go ahead and ask for that raise or promotion. Speak your mind and take charge. The stars are with you at least for now. As you know usually this type of behavior can really get you into a peck of trouble but not now. So enjoy this brief but lovely opportunity to shine your best.

VIRGO: Now is the time to be bold and brazen you are really in the spot. No kidding. Go ahead and ask for that raise or promotion. Speak your mind and take charge. The stars are with you at least for now. As you know usually this type of behavior can really get you into a peck of trouble but not now. So enjoy this brief but lovely opportunity to shine your best.

LIBRA: The allure of debt is way to tempting for the time being. Be very careful with what you do with credit cards and other bottomless pits of credit. You can only use equity to your advantage so many times. Think about setting up a personal financial plan for yourself or at least get someone else to help you out. Truly glamour is only skin deep and you are the one who has to be truly happy.

SCORPIO: Your personal relationships have the potential to bring you some great benefits that is if you can trust other peoples judgments. You have these people in your life for a reason so lean on them some and stop trying to go it alone. The what ifs and maybes must be set aside even if it is only for the moment in order for you to benefit and learn something that will enrich you personally.

SAGITTARIUS: All work and no play makes for a very boring life and possibly even the body refusing to play along any further. Look at your daily routines and some of those unhealthy habits both mentally and physically. Figure out what is most important to you and act upon it. If you continue playing the game the way you have been it may be necessary to take your ball and go home or the hospital.

CAPRICORN: Feeling as if you have been fighting an uphill battle? Well in fact you are but for the moment through certain fortuitous meetings with others with similar goals you may find things falling into place enabling you to finally accomplish something. Just remember your best trait and that is to pace yourself. If not you could run out of steam half way through.

AQUARIUS: No, it's not time to move again sorry. But since you are feeling the itch then think about doing something to improve your current environment. Rearrange, remodel or add on, do anything something just don't start looking for a perceived greener pasture now. It is time to invest and enrich what you already have in order to provide you with the security you are currently seeking and needing.

PISCES: The reality of everyday life is a bit depressing so much to do and seemingly not enough hours in the day to accomplish anything. Well, start planning or a least dreaming, you like that, about that much need vacation or getaway. If you don't plan for it now time will once again get away from you and before you know it you will not have set up anything. To dream is OK but to do is even better.
