Shuistrology

Your Stars:
The very early part of this month brings such positive planetary alignments that you’ll have an inner knowing that the outer skies are the limit. With sizzling sextiles between Venus and Mars making hay while the Sun shines you will feel more attractive and alluring than you have in a very long time. And that’s saying something with swimsuit season just around the literal corner. Your innate and easy going charm magnetizes even the most steely people to you while your wit and guile allows you to view the whole world as your oyster. And, it’s a darn good thing that shellfish is an aphrodisiac too because you can have your way on almost any front you wish. That is, until the Sun and Saturn lock horns on the 5th causing this smooth ride to encounter a few unexpected bumps in the road. The Full Moon on the 7th brings a bit more inspiration and passion back to the mix but you still need to get to the really good stuff that happens high in the heavens around mid-month. Magic and miracles drench the days from the 11th through the 17th with creative endeavors and artistic flights of fancy allowing you direct access to the biggest nation in the world, the imagi-nation! In fact the visions you receive during these exceptional days can be so big and so bold that you even you might wonder what’s really happening. It’s the unfolding of a dream, I’m happy to say and you would be well advised to pay some close attention. As soon as the Solstice arrives on the 21st things really begin to heat up as positive and productive conversations rule the day while a powerful Cancer New Moon holds the night. It’s not all hearts and roses as the month ends though as the Sun opposing Pluto on the 23rd can cause you to lose your cool and get way too hot under the collar. Don’t engage in an emotional display, but, rather, reflect on what’s exactly going on here. And take personal responsibility. If someone or something hits a nerve rather than hitting back, try to go back, to your childhood that is and find out why you are reacting the way that you are. In your best and most diplomatic be sure to state your case and then go and pack one and head out of town. Once you get back to the future you are sure to find that the inspiration, the creativity, the magic and the miracles that influenced the majority of the of the early part of this month are all waiting to welcome you home. Welcome home.

Your Shui:
Early this month you are going to feel like a million bucks what with the whole world paying you compliment after blush provoking compliment. Your charm, your appeal and allure are all off the charts. Don’t leave home without them. If you want to add a little proaction to this planetary bonanza you just might want to take advantage of an ancient beauty potion with completely contemporary applications. Boil a dozen eggs and reserve the water. Let it cool and then add it to a bath that you soak in for at least twenty minutes. Promises youth, vigor and beauty. And that’s no yoke!

Your Stars:
They say that April showers bring May flowers, and, well, this month will deliver a veritable garden of delights for you. Get really ready because those proverbial gray skies are gonna clear up while you are sure to be putting on a pretty happy face! About time too. Of course, all of the best stuff happens at the end of the month as we have to get through Mercury the messenger reversing course on May 7th and then staying in stall for the following three weeks. But, rest assured, once that astro influence wreaks havoc with a few of your well placed travel plans, it’ll be smooth sailing from there. Better to use this time tying up loose ends than putting a passport to use. Believe me, if you have reservations at all this month, they should be around whether or not you should take a trip. You shouldn’t. Although the Scorpio Full Moon that rises on the 9th might have you sending postcards from the edge as it falls into your 2nd House of Income. Just remember to give yourself a little credit while trying your very best not to use any that somebody else has lent you. No big purchases, no major financial decisions and definitely pay your bills on time. That way, by the time these energies shift for the better at the end of next month, you’ll be in a position to take full advantage. That’ll also be the time to take full credit as well! Now, back to the easygoing since we’ve covered the exceptions. There is a beautiful New Moon rising on the 24th that brightens up your 9th House of Travel and Adventures. Since we know that travel is taboo why not spend some time thinking of a new adventure that won’t take you too far from the front door? The stars are very supportive of any such endeavors and could provide a pleasing surprise or two along the way! As well, generous Jupiter is joining forces with Chiron the helpful healer and nice as pie Neptune from the 23rd through the 27th as all three frolic inside your 5th House of Tall Fun! This house governs all sorts of artistic expression and fosters a sense of child-like wonder while also engaging some positive potential to experience true love and boundless joy. Mad great, totally uplifting and, well, like I said earlier, it’s certainly about time! You’ve had a rough time of it during the last few years, but, this month will make all of that seem like it was eons ago as you get back to your core optimism and the expressions of enthusiasm that we all know, love and appreciate about and from you. Happy days are here again. And again. And again. They’re going to hang around awhile as well. In fact, this summer will certainly see you be a constant gardener tending some truly excellent energies as they bloom and grow, bloom and grow!

Your Shui:
Even though taking a trip is strictly forbidden this month that doesn’t mean you can’t travel to the best nation in the world…the imagination! The astro energies that surround you at end month all support some sort of foray into the world of your own creativity. The promise inherent is that any time spent in that same space will result in big and tasty peripheral pay off, so, let’s locate the arena those energies fall in and activate it pronto! Find the ‘Children/Creativity’ of your main floor and put a particular painting of a specific and very lucky sequence of colors here. Using any sort of coloring medium, from crayons to oil paints, engage the excellent energies associated with the Six True Colors; a sequence that colorfully engages the assistance of holy figures as well as enlisting the aid of the angels. The initial color in this sequence is white, representing the beginning of all things. Sort of the whole blank slate idea. The intervening or complimentary colors of (in this EXACT order) red, yellow, green, blue and, then, the final color black can be drawn in colored pencil or MAGIC Marker or can even be strips of colored paper pasted atop one another. As long as they follow this specific sequence you will vastly improve on some already happily heightened energies you have heading your way at the end of May. Go ahead and consciously color your world. You’ll be very glad you did.

Your Stars:
The second half of this month overflows with positive personal relationships, romance, creativity, memorable moments with kids of all ages and lots and lots of laughter and love. The first half though, well, um, not so much. With Venus continuing to retrograde in your 7th House of Partnerships for the first few weeks of April, you can still expect snafus and misunderstandings involving many of your nearest and dearest. As early as the first four to five days you can expect to find yourself working up a full head of steam that pushes you full steam ahead into some potentially unpleasant waters. Remember to damn the torpedoes instead of the people who are pissing you off since a few short days from now all will be splendid and healed and you head back to the future again. In fact, as early as the fabulous Full Moon that falls in your 8th House of Intimacy and Abundance on April 9, energies begin to smooth and straighten and you’re back to bygones. Look, you and I both know that the last few years have been laden with opportunities to reevaluate significant relationships. As well, you’ve been tasked with sharing secrets and shortcuts to the true you in order to bring fulfillment to hosts of differing aspects and agendas affecting your life. More than once, though, you have backed off from this responsibility only to moan and groan, whine and complain when your needs and your expectations are not being met by the ones you expect to do same. But, if they don’t know what you want, then how can they give it to you? This month opens another new door to that same old agenda asking and allowing you to state what you need to the people who need to hear it the most. By the time the Sun enters an area that rules your earthly emotions on April 19 you will be sure to be sharing some heat with an old flame or even a brand loving new one. That choice remains yours. Now, by the time the practical New Moon rises on the 24th you’ll be in full fantasy mode, dreaming about new loves and old money, maybe not in that order. But sometimes having your head in the clouds doesn’t allow you to see an accident waiting to happen. Unpredictable Uranus shaking up your 6th House of Ritual and Routine warns that you need to be a bit more realistic and pay closer attention to nitty gritty details from tax day on in order to avoid something that can trip you up. Literally. It’s okay at the end of this month to invest in a bit of active imagination where love and money are concerned as long as you are also investing your attention in the routine details that require them the most. They say that God is in the details. So that must be why there’s some heavenly news soon to be headed your way!

Your Shui:
In Feng Shui there are numbers associated with the different energies on the life map. These numbers are reciprocal and instrumental in triggering successful energetic results accorded to the intentions attached. The number 6 always indicates or represents’ heaven’ and ‘magic’ as well as combining the intrinsic rays of energy captured within the mystical quartz crystal. So, six clear crystal balls (for our intents and efforts these don’t need to be pure quartz crystal but could be glass, as in marbles, instead) stationed inside the ‘Helpful People’ area of your living room promises to bring smooth, harmonious and beautiful relationships that go round and round with ease and grace. These crystals both resonate and ring true with pure communication on many different levels. As well, if these six small crystal balls are placed in the ‘Relationship/Romance’ area of the main floor they will curry favor for any female in the house, essentially predicting that soon enough her wishes will not only be heard but will be respected as well. If putting this cure into this place is preferred the number of crystals can easily be reduced from six to two, creating an energetically activated arena associated wtih romance and love. Either one or even both of these action steps are perfectly appropriate for your April astro outlook with either, or both placements, bringing boons of both heavenly and magical fortune and luck!

Your Stars:
The planet of love and money and all things related to beauty, the venerable Venus, goes into a stall on the 6th causing some March madness for most of the other astro signs but actually putting a proverbial ball in your court. In fact, you might come away from winter a really big winner if you will only let your guard down and stop being so defensive. I know, I know, the best offense is a good defense but that attitude just won’t get you anywhere during these delicate days. What will get you past all the hoop-la however, will be a willingness to look at relationship mistakes you’ve made in the past in the hopes of not having to keep revisiting them over and over again in the present. See, Venus goes retrograde in your 7th House of Partnerships early on creating some sentimentality and unrealistic recall where lovers from the past are concerned. And potentially creating some issues with the one who’s holding court with you in the present. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the way the energies read for you during the early days of this month, you might just get an opportunity to discuss some stuff that’s been smoldering on that dubious back-burner for quite a while now. I can’t say it enough, now’s the time to open up and put all your cards on the table. Believe me, you can’t show your hand with someone else holding on so tightly to it. And maybe even hanging by a thread because of it. Trust me, if those two hands are to remained jointly bound forever, then somebody better open up and start sharing. All this honesty might make you want to run for the hills but the planets say that you’d be much better off power walking up and down them instead. With both Mercury the Messenger entering your 6th House of Health on the 8th only to be joined there by mighty Mars on the 14th, there might never be a better time this year to begin a fitness routine that will eventually do far more for your heart, your head and your body than just making you trimmer and slimmer. With tons and tons of planetary activity taking place in your 5th House of Fun and True Love (not necessarily in that order either) any regular regimen or routine that you put into place now will not only stick, it’ll be super successful as well. Even starting slowly and working up to the new work out will eventually pack on the esteem as you peel off the pounds. I am so not kidding here. It’s NEVER too late to try anything new or even to remember that everything old is new again. Whatever feels right to do, just do it, because the Aries New Moon that rises on the 26th does so in that same 7th House of Partners and Pairings bringing more emphasis and retread to the relationship agenda. If for no other reason, you should be working out in order to work off the head of steam these planets are preparing. Just when you thought you’d made it to the final four, all ready to receive your share of health and happiness, harmony and prosperity, more courtship concerns could keep you sidelined. If there’s a secret you’ve been hiding, anytime before the last day of this month, bring it to the light of day. Spill, spill, spill and then my friend not only will you rebound without regret but you will feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted from your back. Lighten the load, come clean and start Spring with the world at your feet, you know, exactly back where it belongs!

Your Shui:
You have a shot this month to make all of your significant relationships so much stronger and can make them last lots and lots longer while making yourself quite a bit leaner, but you have to take the initiative on every one of those fronts if you want to make March a super success-filled slam dunk! I think the relationship that you should definitely start to strengthen though is the one that you have with yourself. Showing YOU that you love YOU will go a long way towards smoothing over all the outside relationships that you are currently involved in. Locate the ‘Knowledge and Self Cultivation’ area of your main floor or bedroom. This arena speaks to learning new things as well as setting aside personal time to cultivate your self and your soul but, on a much deeper and layered level it also talks to how much you actually and really both love and honor yourself. Until you realize that you are a Divine expression of your own Higher Power and love yourself accordingly, you can’t get to that place in all of your other outside agendas that will put you in a place of peace and harmony and happily ever after. That said, once you do ignite a passion for the personal you will then put yourself smack in the middle of the most miraculous vibration, a place where dreams do come true the very moment you think about them. Find this specific space and put a picture of yourself there. The photo can be from when you were two minutes old to to being taken two minutes ago but it has to be one that you absolutely love. Post it on pink paper or poster board that is the universal vibration or energy of love and leave it inside this space for at least the next 27 days. This one proactive step will soon enough have you walking on air. Put your best foot forward.

Your Stars:
In the words of that immortal and intrepid toy traveler, Woody, “to infinity and beyond” could conceivably become a part of your own personal vernacular this month if you play your toys and stories right. But, before you get all suited up, know that it could be awhile before Houston calls to tell you there’s no problem ahead during these February days. At least no problem that won’t eventually be able to take care of themselves as long as you practice some patience and some faith where your heart’s desires are concerned. And speaking of hearts and desires, the planetary seductress Venus herself enters yours sign on the 2nd bringing along some of her best friends, harmony and happiness and allowing them to run rampant in your 7th House of Partners and Pairings for the first few days of the month. All alliances are geared up to run really smoothly early on if not even a little too slow and too steady for your rocket booster tastes. Slow down Libra, it will all be there whenever you get back. You just get too worried sometimes. You can almost reach out and touch that special something that you have been wishing for for far too long but it just seems like every time you have it almost in your grasp it just sort of, poof, disappears. And you’re really getting tired of this waiting game. This single solitary sense of never being able to grab the proverbial brass ring rattles your cage and shakes your confidence the most when the sticky Saturn/Uranus alignment activates stinky energies on February 5th. However, even with all that rattling and shaking going on, the planets promise that you’ll always be fired up, able and really ready to roll. You’ll just need to get past the upset at the office that looks to last a little past the first three weeks. Don’t let stalled or stuck energies deter you from following your dreams. The Full Moon eclipse on February 9 will show you the significance of slow and steady winning the race even if you might find yourself getting really antsy around this same time. PLEASE don’t make a mountain out of an anthill because by the time Venus joins forces with both Mars and Jupiter for a fabulous threesome immediately following Valentine’s Day, you will be see how much more appreciated all of your efforts are from all of those who know and love you best. Why not take this time to form a mutual admiration society and let them know just how much they mean to you as well. It’s especially important to note how much family relationships will benefit from some unguarded, open and honest communications now. Almost miraculous. The end of this month gets much easier in almost every way imaginable. You get back to the future and find your old sense of anticipation and enthusiasm regards anything new. When Mercury and Jupiter band and bond to offer you ignition on the 24th, all systems are definitely on ‘GO’ and you are both ready and set. I know that you can see your heart’s desire and that you are tired of waiting for it to happen. But I also know that if you just hold the light a little longer, soon, very soon, you will be blasting into the unknown in a way that will ultimately free you and that will take you far above the clouds. Like I said before, to infinity and beyond! Catchy.

Your Shui:
In Feng Shui, moving water is always associated with your work life, your social life, your business and your cash flow; all components of that heart’s desire of yours that we were just talking about. In the social context specifically, it relates to the ocean of people that we swim in every day and how those same fellow swimmers might be able to help make our own dreams take root on dry land. Allowing or adjusting the chi or energy of moving water can be accomplished in many different ways, almost as many ways as are available to create the life of your dreams. But this particular method that I am about to share with you is an adjustment that can invigorate energies attached to your desires while enhancing and widening your business and social circles. Once a day for 27 consecutive days straight, contact at least one person with whom you have had no contact for at least the last six months. You can call or text, email fax or even send a letter but you just have to make the effort to reach out. In each and every contact, however, you are absolutely forbidden from whining or complaining about anything at all in your life. You can’t make any requests or ask for anything either. Just a friendly ‘howdy’ will do. Now as these communiqués unfold, you are also strongly advised to make good on any engaging opportunities that may arise. Visualize that all and every aspect of you whole life is now becoming completely balanced and harmonious and, then, they will. These efforts will now provide you with a firm foundation from which to lift off as your engines are now all totally revved and completely ready to go.
