Shuistrology

Your Stars:
As the song says, “June is bustin’ out all over” with goodness and growth and swoon and moon; especially with that swoon especially around the first Full Moon! All else starts when your ruling planet Venus, that goddess of all things lovey dovey smoochey oochey enters your very own sign on June 6. Get ready for the sizzle and the foschizzle dawg because every one will be sniffing around you like they are all in heat! And believe me, it’s really you who’s so hot, hot, hot! With or without the mustard. You better enjoy all this action because the very next day there is a Full Moon casting a glow on your 8th House of Others and Intimacy and, well, when I think about what this potentially means for you, I’m afraid I almost begin to blush. “Go big or go home” is exactly what this moon is trying to impart, encouraging an almost enthusiastic boldness to your behavior while still allowing you to maintain manageable boundaries. These first few weeks of June are simply the absolutely perfect time to put you in the driver’s seat. You will be given the gifts of choosing the right time, the right place and all the right words to reveal and express your deep down and true feelings for someone who is really ready to hear it. Put your mettle to the pedal and peel out before you peel off. You can steer all your love efforts to success if you are sure not to run out of gas or courage before you seal this deal. Look, if all goes as planned early this month, Janet Jackson won’t be the only one singing about the Pleasure Principle. Even the Sun wants to get into the act as it warms up your 3rd House of Communications on the first day of the Summer Solstice, June 21. With a nurturing, nourishing New Moon in Cancer rising the very next day, this brilliant week should shower you with breakthroughs as well as with ways to connect with others. As these seasonal summer does bring this month to a close, you will find yourself with an renewed energy and a special bonded intimacy that will have you feeling connected, competent and able to achieve your fullest potential. This month dear Taurus be thinking rapture. More than just some pretty paper to put the birthday gifts in. Indeed turns out to be your keyword. With a big bow on top!

Your Shui:
This month is all about promoting pleasure as well as potentially bringing you to a new place in your most loving and lovely relationships. If there is someone who you’d very much like to engage do the following: Take a photo of you and one of your ideal mate (or, really, anyone with whom you’d like a better relationship) and place the photos face to face. Write your full name on the back side or the partner’s photo and wrap a red string, ribbon, yarn or cord around them 99 times. Visualize that you are perfectly paired with one another as you do this. Place the pictures wrapped in red string in a red envelope and sleep with this under your pillow for nine consecutive nights. On the 10th day throw the envelope into a body of moving water or bury in the backyard. Oh so quickly you will find your love reaching new depths and delights decorating every inch of your life. Va-va-va-you!

Your Stars:
This month, Taurus, you are going to want to grab your bull right by the horns and, then, once you have him firmly in hand, fling him as far out your front door as you possibly can. And, while you’re at it, get rid of his two pals ‘stubborn’ and ‘obstinate’ too. To be sure, May will be one month where your inherent and innate patience will be put to the test. However, all the astro energies point to you passing personal exams with flying colors. This planetary perusal of the palette begins as early as May 7th when Mercury, the planet that governs everything related to communications and detail, runs out of steam and starts to stall inside your 2nd House of Earned Income. Mercury retrograding in this house could conceivably cause you to have to backtrack on some issue or agenda where your finances are concerned. This will be especially true during the middle three weeks of the month. Don’t dig in where any money matters are featured now, but, rather, don your sweetest smile and compromise, compromise, compromise. Oh, and did I say, compromise? It just will not pay to push the banker’s buttons at the present. Rather, why not just flexible your mettle and then look for the silver lining? If you can remain open to other’s options, you simply won’t believe how quickly and easily these agendas get closed. Coming to distract you and perhaps effect a relationship rescue is a sultry Full Moon that raises temperatures around Taurus in the days surrounding May 9. This Full Moon is positively pleasing to your 7th House of Relationships and Romance; an aspect that soon could shed some bright lunar light on lusty liaisons and business negotiations as well. As the month comes to a close you will have ample opportunities to stay open and objective where other’s opinions are concerned, and, if you’re smart, you might even take away an important life lesson or two. Certainly, you two new bffs, ‘cooperation’ and ‘compromise’ are sticking right by your side this whole month long. Good thing too! Optimism and achievement finally come back into full focus as May heads out with a wonderful New Moon on the 24th serving to secure alternate routes of income and opportunities galore. Just in time too. One thing’s for sure, June might be busting out all over but that month will look like an amateur compared to what’s in store for you!

Your Shui:
Love looks good this month, but its perennial partner, money, could conceivably be a bit more problematic as May unfolds. Fix that fiscal worry with a quick tip from the world of financial Feng Shui. Locate the ‘Wealth and Abundance’ arena of your bedroom and then measure the space between ceiling and floor. Take any purple string, yarn, thread or ribbon and measure it out to the length you’ve previously determined. Purple is the predominant color most associated with money in Feng Shui as well as the hue ascribed to Imperials, Emperors and Kings! Now, you’ll also want to cut a nine inch piece of this purple string as well. Fold the longer thread in half and, then, directly at the mid-way point tie the nine-inch piece into a small knot, fastening it at the center of the longer string. Hang or install the entire line from the ceiling to floor in that same space in the bedroom where your money luck is located. Leave this “running line from Heaven to Earth” in place for the next 27 days. The one thing you can be sure, even if you leave it hanging, it promises not to do same to you. You’ll see. This running line from Heaven is very often an absolute answer to a prayer! Amen.

Your Stars:
April showers might bring May flowers but you beat those buds this month by blooming and growing bolder and more beautiful with each and every passing week. Truly, this is a pretty and good month for you with only a few little speed bumps slowing down your complete metamorphosis from the caterpillar into the butterfly. Good thing that early on you still have all gajillion legs though because you’ll need them to continue to try to be in forty places all at the same time. In fact, when an emotional Venus in Aries puts up her dukes with the princely Pluto on April 3, you’ll surely wish you could go wings up right then and there. Fantasies of flying the coop keep coming the next few days as Mars and Saturn get into their own melee coming to blows and then blowing almost everything else out of complete proportion. And, just when you are really ready to take the obviously not so friendly skies, the sun comes out and Mercury shares a sweet message on April 9 that clears up any of your continuing communication snafus. This sweet relief occurs on the same day as the Libra Full Moon rises in your 6th House of All Things Effort or Work Related bringing you a double dose of recognition and reward for any energies you’ve been expending on getting noticed as well as for feeling valued. Speaking of the Sun, it enters you own home sign of Taurus on April 19 adding some warmth and some sparkling sweetness to any birthday celebration. The skies continue to light up in honor of your birth when the New Moon on the 24th brings its own bags of gifts and tricks promising some spectacular and dynamic days ahead. In fact, you’re about to unwrap the gifts of personal and professional peace, contentment and growth; a trio of transformation that truly are the gifts that keep on giving. Happy Birthday Taurus! And, yippeeeee!

Your Shui:
There is a deity well revered in the Eastern tradition and pantheon who goes by the name of Che Kung, a real general whose legend dates back to the Sung Dynasty in China. In fact, there is an entire temple dedicated to him close to the Hong Kong racetrack further blurring a cultural line that sometimes sees divination and gambling as one and the same thing. Every year there are celebrations and festivals held in honor of his birthday with offerings of incense believed to bring magic and miracles on yours. Since this is your birthday month and since the stars promise to bring some big potential and possibility wrapped in special packaging, why not try your hand at allowing Che Kung to bless your birth as well as your year ahead? On the day of your birthday, go ahead and burn any incense that you favor while simply offering the smoke to Che in return for some fabulous fortune and lotto type luck. If you want to ensure that your pockets remain full for the foreseeable you can also burn a little fake money at the same time setting the stage to see some of the real thing come wafting in your life in the very near. Now, that advice really is the gift that keeps on giving, and, believe, during the upcoming months you’re about to find out how and why!

Your Stars:
Simon says take two steps back this month Taurus, because, well, if you spend some time revisiting old paradigms and protocols and even editing same, you might just find yourself Marching into Spring a totally new and healthy, happy and prosperous you! But first you need to glance backwards to get to that promised future. All these teetering energies initially begin to totter as Venus, the planet that governs a whole host of your self worth and confidence issues, turns retrograde in your 12th House of Secrets and the Subconscious on March 6 where she will effectively stay in stall until the middle of next month. That’s a long time to keep a secret. But now I’ll share one with you. I can virtually guarantee that if you spend any quality time early this month really delving into and looking at mistakes you’ve made in the past, you will put yourself into a prime position to find fulfillment in the very near future. At the very least this sort of personal introspection will bring you a fair amount of opportunity to refine your current goals but be warned that this will also be accompanied by a fair amount of anxiety as well. The anxious part comes when you really start to realize that you desperately need to address and then start sorting and getting rid of almost all of the “old” in order to make way for the new. And that new could come as early as the Full Moon that rises on the 10th of March in your 5th House of True Love. You get a good shot of adrenaline attached to enthusiasm regards a romantic relationship that then helps smooth over some of the other emotional extremes that promise to overflow now, because, well, it’s that time of the month again. And it’s déjà vu all over again with that whole ‘two steps back leading to a million more marching forward’ thing again. When it comes to the energies that hold sway over the middle of this month just try your best to be in some sort of balance and go with any flow you can find. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT make any rash decisions, judgements or even, eeeeeekkkkk, issue any ultimatums. Listen when I tell you this, from the 10th to the 20th, it’s bygones or it’s buh bye. Once the Spring Equinox rolls around on the last day of that aforementioned calendar, you will start to see seeds of personal satisfaction and sprouts of swelling self esteem starting to poke through some previously frozen agendas. Ahhhh, you just can’t beat a good week of fertility and growth and a pervasive feeling that everything’s going to be alright. And, it will be, especially once the meditative New Moon in Aries hangs high in the sky on March 26. But, first, you must be sure to get rid of every little thing that you’ve outgrown. Look, nature might abhor a vacuum, but, these days, that proverbial appliance could turn out to be your best friend. Make a clean sweep and soon enough, I promise, you’ll start to really clean up.

Your Shui:
This March holds an important key to disconnecting from your past all in order to move swiftly, safely and surely into what promises to be one potentially fabulous future. There is a particular school in yoga called Pranayama yoga that teaches the use of a rhythmic breathing technique that is absolutely known to bring balance not only to the mind and emotions but also to the physiology of the body itself, definitely some advice you can handily use this month. This specific way of breathing will give you, almost immediately (!!!!), a true sensation of balance and well being. In fact, if you make these sequential breaths a regular part of your day you will find that your body responds by rejuvenating…literally….getting younger, feeling healthier and much more well rested! You should always perform this exercize either sitting up straight or lying down completely flat on your back. There are four parts to this way of breathing and they are; breathing in for a specific count, holding for a count, breathing out for a count and holding for a count before repeating the entire cycle again. In this case, you will breathe in to a count of six, hold for three seconds, exhale for a count of six and hold for three seconds before beginning this cycle again. Repeat the sequence three times and you will have balanced your emotional body, reduced tension, relieved anxiety and balanced the frequency of vibration on a cellular level. Whew! Good for you! Happy Spring!

Your Stars:
Have you ever seen a dream walking? Well, I have and so will you as early as February 1st when some of the ones that you have been working so hard at manifesting begin to shed their wings and grow a sturdy, solid pair of feet. Good thing they can hang ten too because at least one of those really special dreams is getting ready stride right into your life. Let’s just let Mercury the Messenger wing it early on when that planet finally ends its current retrograde and moves forward in your 9th House of Higher Thought and Bigger Ideas on that same start of the month day. By the time stern Saturn opposes eccentric little Uranus on the 5th, you will be glad to have both the discipline and the structure that taskmaster usually brings along with it. In keeping with the whole solid footing idea it would additionally be great if you decide to take some bold steps towards your intentions and goals as opposed to resisting change and digging in your proverbial heels. Steeped in stubborn can be a recurrent theme and pattern for you but I can guarantee that bullish attitude won’t get you where you need to go this month. And don’t forget your friends and family while all these wishes are forming a face for you to put a name to. Close personal ties might come a bit unraveled this month especially around the time of a tense Full Moon that rises on the 9th. The energies this lunar eclipse activates stirs up some dissention in your 4th House of Home and Family and can potentially cause a wobbly relationship to finally reach the breaking point. Don’t let all this drama tie you up in knots though as there is real opportunity here as well to heal some long-standing wounds in order to allow you to move into this fabulous future February portends with a lighter, brighter heart. A nurturing New Moon comes calling on the 24th and this inspirational orb might prompt you to think out of the box while also freeing you from family/friends jail. This moon will warm your heart and keep your calendar occupied as you are now on everyone’s radar. Once Cupid has worn out his yearly welcome and the world begins to blow breathless kisses to the promise of a burgeoning Springtime you become the popular poster child of that coming season. Be sure to answer any invite and come to any table that enlists your efforts for common causes as this avenue promises to one sure-fire, guaranteed way to get your own achievements and accomplishments out there and noticed especially by all of those who are watching from behind the scenes. With Venus in Leo this busy career month you will be sure to find all the balance you need but mark my words and your schedule that you need to really dream big and go for it now and, then, forever hold your peace and your prosperity and your plenty! The last week of February holds a positively power-packed line up of planets in Aquarius and they are all invading your 10th House of Recognition and Reward. This is it Taurus, the time you have been waiting for. Go big or go home. Or, more likely, go big and then go home because once you find out that you have pushed your potential to places you’ve only ever dreamed about, you’ll see the professional and the personal partnering you have been two stepping to and you will be absolutely sure that the dance of dreams come true has truly begun.

Your Shui:
The way that we breathe can actually be a metaphor for how we relate to recognition and garner and gather rewards in our lives. Since February promises to peel away stale and stagnant energies that might have been keeping your dreams and desires in a stuck state, it will be a tremendous idea to get rid of those same sorts of energies from inside of you as well. Look, recognition and abundance associated with that same reward is like oxygen, if you don’t take enough of each in on a regular basis you start to get seriously out of balance. Your have a huge source of personal power available to you with every breath you take. Literally, working with your breath and enacting different breathing techniques can make you a channel that can blow past resistance and regulations and then, you got it, breathe life into every precious intention. This inhale/exhale technique is an ancient method that expels all negative Chi or energy from your body and fills you up with new, fresh and healthy energies. Okay, sitting straight on the edge of your bed, tilt your head and upper body back just slightly. Now, slowly inhale through your mouth and visualize that you are breathing in golden light like pure, bright, clear sunshine. Imagine that this light first fills your lungs and then extends into all the different parts of your body until you are the pure, glowing light and the light is you. Imagine further that this light is absorbing any negativity, disease, imbalance, illness or bad fortune or luck. Now, exhale this breath in nine short, staccato breaths, slowly raising your body back to an upright position as you breathe out. See the air you are exhaling as carrying all the old energies that do not serve you and know that you have blown out all your troubles. Every day during the last week of this month try to do this exercise at least one time a day. This February promises to be just like a breath of fresh air for you Taurus, and, well, it’s about time!
