IN THE NEWS.....

ELECTIONS. Taking a snapshot of astrological events in the candidate’s charts in early May shows an interesting contrast. Just look at one planet, Jupiter, and observe his position in the candidate’s future.

Friday, May 9:

Surf’s up. The Skywatch is excellent for important appointments, meetings, calls, decisions, purchases and travel today. A balanced Sun Moon sextile at 2:18 PM will find the third grade art class totally immersed in shades of green. The Moon will travel on to trine friendly Uranus at 6 PM and then oppose Jupiter at 7:06 PM. Luna turns V/C after that but the good vibes will hang around. Mars enters Leo at 3:20 PM and this is a big deal as Mars has been back in Gemini/Cancer since Sep/07! That means Mars has been sitting in one spot, likely one house or just two houses, in your personal chart for the last eight months. He will now move on quickly and generate new ideas, feelings, reactions and urges—and having fun is top priority with Leo. This is good energy for all of us. Mars in Cancer churned up our emotions, our guts; I suspect they’ve been selling a lot of Tums over the last eight months. The next set of “hot” products will include catnip (in bottles and cans), gold jewelry and fire extinguishers.

All times given are U.S. Central time. That's Chicago on the World Clock.

June Skywatch is now available to members.....

MERCURY RETROGRADES in home sign Gemini until June 19. The Sun and Venus will also travel through the sign of the Twins this month.

If your birthday is this week (May 4-10)

You’ve got a brand new deck of cards in your hands this year, Taurus. And they are stacked in your favor as lucky Jupiter trines your Sun in your new Solar Return, the astrological chart of your new year. This trine brings rewards/approval from men, authority figures, the boss—ruled by the Sun. So this is a good year to gamble on yourself and to publish/expose your work to the public or the authorities. It’s also a very good year for singles who are ready for a hot love affair—and to form powerful new friendships or alliances that can bless your life for years and years to come. You are leaving a low-energy, foggy cycle—Saturn and Neptune both squared your Sun over the last three years. In 2008, you have the opposite kind of energy as Jupiter and Saturn will both trine your Sun. And you draw aces. Get in the game. Times have changed.
