Shuistrology

Your Stars:
This June will offer you tons of opportunities to bask in the spotlight and soak in the praise but only after you get a burned a time or two while also thinking that some of your plans might just be all wet. You’ll live and they aren’t. In fact, you just might find yourself putting in for a well deserved raise before the month is through. But, first, you are going to need to take the bull by the horns especially while Mercury, the planet of all and everything communications, is touring your 10th House of Fame and Honors until June 13. This will open up doors and possibilities that you might not even believe. But you should. Believe, that is. You deserve all the kudos that you’re about to get. You should even be giving yourself a hand while finally accepting the thanks for the one that you are always offering to everyone else. Early in the month though you just might need to work through an obstacle or two so that you can get to the center of that stage by the time the middle rolls around. With warrior Mars stomping around your 6th House of the Daily Grind on June 3, followed closely by the Sun and Saturn squaring off on the 5th, you might want to be sure to have your best face on hand that trying and tense first week. But, by the time the Full Moon falls into your 5th House of True Love on the 7th, the worst of this month is over. This moon will prod you to push past recent frustrations, especially where important relationships are concerned while giving you encouragement for the future. You’ll actually find more fun with your friends than you might have thought if you keep that upper lip stiff but your plans flexible as the middle of the month approaches. Topsy-turvy describes the days immediately in front of the Summer Solstice that shifts the seasons on the 21st. So the quiet Cancer New Moon that comes the next day will be a welcome respite as well as a big relief. This New Moon illuminates your 12th House of Deep Thinking so look for inspirations and intuition in the final days of this month that will definitely have a terrifically positive impact and influence on the majority of the summer days to follow. Here’s the promise that’s attached to June; if you keep your nose to the grindstone and your ear to the ground you are going to get much, much sharper and hear some swell things being said about you that will give you the enthusiasm, the optimism and the encouragement to get past any haunting hurdles. You are creative and fearless and are about to graduate from giving energy to tense times with other people and projects to finding ones of your own that will satisfy and satiate. Have cccccourage Lion, you’re about to move on to a whole new world.

Your Shui:
There will be a veritable choir of people singing your praises this month. Sit back and enjoy as you begin to really realize that you are almost always striking all the right chords. You can certainly help these efforts along though by making a little reputation strengthening noise yourself. Actually, anything that generates sound will work for this particularly powerful cure, but, traditional Feng Shui calls for a bell, or wind chime or even a gong to help exponentially help increase your creativity while ringing your name out to the Universe. Place any of these sound creating devices in the Fame area of your main floor and then listen as it helps the energies to hit the right keys that will then begin to unlock a truly fabulous future.

Your Stars:
Sticks and stones might break your bones but names will never hurt you, unless, of course, one belongs to a certain someone who’s still trying to steal your spotlight! This little competition apparently began sometime late in April and hasn’t run its course just yet. Like medicine, this faux friend appears oh so easy to open but then gets really hard to swallow. Leave it alone. Seriously. Leave it be. All the melodrama just is not worth the intensity and/or effort. Especially when Mercury the Messenger, planet of all and everything related to communications, starts to stall in your 10th House of Fame and Reputation on May 7. This planet retrograding in an area that governs your potential to receive recognition and rewards can conceivably (but quite falsely by the way) undermine your sense of self-esteem, confidence and the feelings you harbor about what you are truly worth. Look, that stupid green monster can rear its ugly head as much as it wants in May, but, I promise, if you just don’t feed it, eventually it will go somewhere else to snack. Just be sure to stay true to yourself and tow whatever lines that you are responsible for and have faith in the fact that Karma will take care of everything AND everyone else. This month, with a Full Moon showering stellar vibes into your House of Home on the 9th and generous mack daddy Jupiter giving a big boost to your House of Romance and Relationships, you should definitely concentrate on coupling as opposed to worrying about what’s what in your career. Your closest relationships are sure to fill your heart and soothe your soul in May. That is, when you are not completely preoccupied with taking full advantage of the swell energies associated with the friendly New Moon that rises on the 24th. Speaking of memories, any trip you take at the end of this month should not only be down that lane since the planets are all aligning to allow you to journey someplace sensational! Pack your bags or even just a picnic basket but be sure to take advantage of these sparkling vacation vibes. By the time this month ends, your social calendar will be heating up while that ridiculous competition will be cooling way down and, once again, all will be well in your world.

Your Shui:
This one’s easy: Focus on the name of any person currently causing you sleepless nights and/or drama filled days and then write that same name in red ink on a piece of white paper. Place that paper in a glass jar and pour honey over the paper until it’s swimming in the sweet stuff. Now cover and close the jar and place a small white tea candle atop the lid. Anytime after Mercury goes retrograde on the 7th, but especially when you feel you need to sweeten the pot and lighten the competitive load, light that candle and concentrate on sending loving thoughts and energies out to the whole wide world. Remember, you reap what you sow and what you send out is exactly what you get back…and more. Sticky AND sweet? This month you can rest assured that Madonna ain’t got nothin’ on you!

Your Stars:
The term Rock and Roll speaks to more than a musical genre where your experiences are concerned this month; it’s actually an adequate description of April’s energies as well as the most perfectly put mantra you could chant during these Dramamine demanding days. With four power planets rolling through your ninth house of travel during various and different times of the month, you’ll be feeling really ready to rock. But, with Venus retrograding for much of the beginning of the month, you are well advised to wait until after she moves forward again on the 17th before you can really get rolling. All the April hoopla begins as early as the fourth day when Saturn stops by to put the brakes on some pretty important and well timed plans. Saturn, the taskmaster, often stops projects in mid-stream in order for all of us to get a clearer picture of the dream; one with more intention, imagination and even visualization attached. Picture that! No, really, meditate and picture what it is that you are striving for and really see yourself achieving your dream. But just make sure you see it in the NOW even though it’s slated to take just a bit longer to arrive. It’s really quite alright though because taking time early this month to revisit some current objectives, goals and plans will put exactly center stage later on when the big bright Sun, mentally stimulating messenger Mercury and the New Moon (also rising in communicative Mercury) all meet to light up your 10th House of Fame and Honors, Recognition and Reward. This is so WOW you just won’t care about the current WHOA. Having these powerful planets in that power packed house truly is a stellar event that blesses you with a new sense of choice and control, some super stamina to accompany same and an entirely polished and continued positive outlook. Your innate optimism is fully supported by outside expressions of enthusiasm and appreciation for your whole being this whole month causing you some precipitous highs. However, the fact that you seem to constantly have to wait to make serious and significant progress on one specific goal can also create a couple of lows too, eventually bringing balance to the whole. Look, the fact is that not only do you see how great the opportunities are flowing in your direction but it appears, particularly at mid-month, that everyone around you does as well. Your hurdle during this hurley burley is to make and execute informed decisions while biding your time to take true center stage. I am telling you right now that a certain goal that you have been tending for a very long time is about to reach maturity. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to express that very same state while you wait for your turn. Once the planets allow you to stop reaching for all those highs while bouncing you off a couple of significant lows, everything will be back on track. Hold on a little longer. That train’s about to leave the station. All aboard!

Your Shui:
On the night of the New Moon in Mercury, April 24, carve out some quiet time as you sit and visualize what a current dream or goal would look like to you if it were to come true. Taking a plain piece of paper and a red pen, create or write a story with you as the main character that wraps that scenario into a complete plot, from tentative beginning to fabulous and fulfilling end. Once you have completed this script, replete with actual dates in which these wonders occur, fold up the paper and place it inside a red envelope. Take a few minutes to send this stationary love from your heart. Just imagine waves of pink rays pouring out from your heart space and filling the red envelope with love and light. Now, put the envelope anywhere in the ‘Fame’ area of your living space and place a red candle somewhere close by. Each day for the next nine consecutive, light the candle as you visualize once again the same scenario you have previously penned. After the ninth or last day, take the entire envelope and it’s contents and in some open space (or barring that, in your kitchen sink ONLY) burn this piece allowing your most precious intentions and goals to go up in smoke. Remember that many cultures and traditions teach us that smoke and sound connect to many other realms operating all around and for us. I can promise you this, this is one time that it’s totally cool and quite alright to go ahead and light up! Puff, puff, horray!

Your Stars:
Burgeoning Spring finds each leaf, each blade of grass asking for attention, and so my friend, will everyone around you. Your friends and your family however will have to take a back seat to career related events and agendas during the waning winter days as a big thaw is about to happen on the work front while things are getting pretty steamy with some hot hook ups. But first let’s look at the very first days of March when the lovely Venus turns tail and starts heading back to address some unfinished business. This stall that starts on the 6th happens inside your 9th House of Travel so you will be VERY well advised to postpone a trip or two until after late April or even early May when these energies open wide and say “Ahhhhhhh” again. Believe me, besides the continued concerns surrounding your financial circumstances, you’ll be pretty content to stay put for most of this month since there promises to be some pleasing possibilities that present themselves to you where the workplace is concerned. IN fact, the first week of the month highlights the likelihood that there will a change in the status quo of what you do for a living but that the change we’re talking about might leave you speechless when you find out about some future plans earmarked just for you. At one one fortunate contact comes forward this first week so keep your eyes and your ears open and be ready to take advantage. The middle of the month gets a bit more sticky when stingy Saturn and unpredictable Uranus travel willy nilly through both your 2nd and 8th Houses, the only astrological agendas that have to do only with money, yours and everyone elses. Don’t worry, seriously, I mean that, don’t worry. Giving ANY energy to worrying only creates more of the same. Instead, focus on the positive even if that means you have to be a bit more creative than usual. Like the burgeoning Spring, there are opportunities for growth simply sitting almost everywhere around you but you have to reach out and water them, nurture them and give them a little light each day. Especially from the 8th through the 14th when both the Sun and Mercury the Messenger join forces to illuminate what can be some terrifically innovative solutions to all of your abundance agendas. Just remember, there are some sprouting seeds of ideas all caught up inside these planetary energies that will only grow to give you peace if you step away from the feelings of fear that currently pervade your financial outlook. Take risks to bring some truly GIGANTIC rewards. Stabilizing your status quo might not be as much fun but that same stability will bring resolution and possibly even a lead or two to make money matter a whole lot better. Look for someone or something interesting to enter the scene the third week of March. If you step our of your own way this week you might just find yourself dancing with the stars in the very near. This stellar trend continues as the New Moon that rises on the 26th falls into your 9th House, once again activating energies here that speak to learning new and wondrous lessons that help to formulate a fabulous vision for the future. Look, there will be quite a cadre of opportunities for you to get lucky this month. I truly hope that you pursue the ones that have horizons and hope written on them and not the ones that will pull you under the covers just so you don’t have to think about same. Sexual sizzle can really burn you this month if you use it to mask facing your immediate career and coin concerns. Treat every relationship with respect and by month’s end they will, each significant one you have, treat you to a much more positive perspective and personal transformation. Make THAT bed and lie in it.

Your Shui:
Reaching out for and then recognizing positive contacts and connections this month will serve you far better than using random hook ups to avoid abundance agendas and financial concerns you might be preoccupied with these days. And, even though travel is definitely and strongly advised against, you can still end March at a totally new and transformational personal destination as long as you pack your baggage and then leave it all in the past where it belongs. This month is all about the future, your future, and how all of those who surround you can help to get you there with ease and grace. Let’s enlist the aid of mythical creature to bring some magical energies to your month of March. Download a picture (or use any other representation) of the Chinese Qilin or what we call the unicorn. This animal is believed to be the embodiment of justice, hope and virtue. He is beneficial for and benevolent to the innocent and will keep wrongdoers from their door. According to some legends, he makes noise like a musical bell and therefore can ring your fine reputation out to the most important people who can and WILL help you. He is a symbolic link as well between our world and the wonders and miracles that are invisible but awaiting our invitation in the next. Place this symbol in the ‘Helpful People’ area or your main floor or in that same space in your bedroom to cultivate connections that can bring a big and electric charge to all of your intentions and desires. Go ahead and get all turned on, you’ve earned it!

Your Stars:
If I had one piece of advice to share with you this month it would be to please, please, please, watch your impulse spending! Or maybe it would be that things aren’t always as they seem, so be sure to check all the facts on all your fronts. Or, maybe it would be that true beauty comes from within. See, I’m just as confused as this month’s energies promise to be but at the very least I can attach three applicable words to describe February for you and they would go something like this; bewitched, bothered and bewildered! ‘Bewitched’ because for such a great part of this month the whole world will seem to fall under you charming, charismatic and confident spell. ‘Bothered’ because you have some hinky financial aspects coming forward that absolutely dictate caution and conservatism where ANY sort of spending is concerned and, well, ‘bewildered’ because it looks like every time you start to celebrate some personal piece of great news, the proverbial other shoe drops causing you to stumble along your way. As soon as Mercury moves forward on the very first day and then meets up with va-va-va-voom Venus on the second one you begin to see the potential for certain dearly held hopes, wishes and dreams to actually start to bear fruit. But then something sours when the party gets a bit too crowded as Mars and Mercury, Jupiter, Chiron, the Sun and Neptune all pile into your 7th House of Partners all during the first two weeks, presenting so many relationship possibilities that you could easily become overwhelmed and then quite possibly feel under siege. Amidst all this angst comes someone who could charm the pants off of you (literally, so don’t say I didn’t warn you) but who needs a thorough background check even if just from the web considering the stories they are spinning and the fantastical tales they tell. By mid-month, when you’ll be hosting Saturn in your 2nd House of Money and Self Esteem, all will not be as it seems as temptations surround you, seemingly begging to relieve you of some of your hard earned dough. I cannot say this clearly enough; STEP AWAY FROM THE WALLET. Investing time in new projects will be something you can write off in the future but investing money, after you’ve read my adamant warnings here, will just be, well, stupid. I know that you’ll feel the need to do a little something for yourself if only to update your closet or get a fabulous new ‘do around the transformative Full Moon on the 9th. There will be plenty of opportunity to do that in the weeks and months ahead. For this February though work on a makeover from within and get radical with your attitude. Change your thoughts and you can change the world. And working at changing your thoughts won’t cost you one thin dime! The Sun shines on your 8th House of Intimacy on the 18th providing a perfectly lit path for the New Moon on the 24th to rise and brighten your inspirations and your expectations. You are certain to be mulling an incredibly new and attractive partner, person or idea and the air feels positively electric whenever they/it are around. Plug in to your own intuition though, listen to your gut and cover all the details before agreeing to or signing anything. There is the potential for true value here as long as you account for the hardware. Cautiously conservative while being confident and charismatic; practice all of those ‘c’s during these suppressive, expressive and optimistic days and before too very long you will find yourself garnering all ‘a’s for attitude adjustment and acceptance as you zoom straight to the head of the class!

Your Shui:
Speaking of the alphabet and shooting to the head of the class, this month holds an education, a potential curveball and some serious instruction about the A,B,C’s of love that might ask you to make your life more of an open book then it should be. Be cautious and careful as you turn those pages because chances are pretty good that you are about to get swept off your feet. Just remember that falling for the wrong person could end up causing a big pain in the ass. Rather, do your due diligence and keep a cool head and, then, all will be well in your world. But just to be perfectly sure: Locate the ‘Romance and Relationship’ area of your bedroom and activate those same energies by blending two power-FULL symbols that trigger same. Get a picture of the double happiness symbol (you can easily download off any search engine) and hang it at your eye level in that ‘Romance’ arena inside your bedroom. Now, let’s supercharge that symbol with crystal clarity by igniting it with a cluster of six quartz crystals placed close by. The partnering of these Feng Shui symbols encourage romance chi but will, as well, bring positive and realistic perceptions and expectations, a boon and blessing you will be well advised to take advantage of this curious month.
