Good fortune, luck and gains

May 15 through 31, 2012

Astrology Forecast

       

        The last half of May is not totally wonderful and easy, but there are several terrific planetary energies which help us accomplish what we want.  I hope you have written goals that are specific and measurable and work hard making them into realities.   

Effort is rewarded May 16 through 19, 2012.

        A fortunate Grand Trine in earth signs during this time indicates good fortune with money, work and career if we are practical, persistent and reliable.  Beginning students get excited when they see Grand Trines (when three planets are each about 120 degrees from the other two) as Grand Trines can mean ease and luck.  More advanced students realize that to fully realize such good periods, we must really work to get really good results.  The three planets involved in this Grand Trine are Mars, Pluto and Mercury.  Mars adds initiative and drive, Pluto adds determination and Mercury adds intelligence and communication.

        Lucky period May 16 through May 20, 2012.     

        Jupiter, the Great Benefic, is close to the Sun during these days, bringing good luck, optimism and generosity.  These are extremely fortunate days.  Make your dreams come true. 

Gains through elders, superiors, business, investments and serious relationships May 1 through June 3, 2012.

        The planet of love and money, Venus, trines (is about 120 degrees from) Saturn, bringing opportunities for benefits through older people and bosses.  It’s a great time for business and investments because you are willing to do the hard work necessary to have good results.  Relationships turn serious and can be very good for people who are responsible for themselves as well as others. 

Grand Cross April 1 through May 19, 2012 brings emotionalism and challenges. 

Neptune, Mars and the Moon’s Nodes form a Grand Cross in the sky, indicating excess emotionalism, confusion and challenges.  I prefer the word challenges to other words I might use, as challenges can be overcome and can encourage drive and achievement.

Neptune in Pisces has a hard time focusing on worldly matters.  It can be imaginative, spiritual, caring and wanting to provide service to other people and animals, but it can also be easily deceived. 

Mars in Virgo wants to get work done, but it tends to worry and be overly critical.  And then when Mars opposes (is about 180 degrees from) Neptune, it can have unrealistic expectations, further exacerbating those qualities of worrying and being hypercritical.  During this time we need to pay attention to our surroundings and work on seeing situations and people the way they really are, not how we hope them to be.  We should be on guard against accidents, negative thinking, worry, poisoning and escapism, possibly through drugs and alcohol.  Artistic and creative pursuits and service are good ways to channel this energy.

        To further add to the potency of this energy between Mars and Neptune, the Moon’s Nodes get into the action and are squaring (about 90 degrees from) the opposition of Mars and Neptune.  Moon’s Nodes are where the Moon’s path crosses the Earth’s path around the Sun.  There are two Nodes, where the Moon’s path goes north of the Earth’s path, and then when it goes south of the Earth’s path.  Vedic astrologers attach enormous power to them and think they are active whenever events happen that are noticed all over the world. 

                          

Great for accomplishing goals February 28 through May 31, 2012.

        Energetic Mars trines (is about 120 degrees from) Pluto, making this a good time to aggressively start new projects, and work hard to accomplish goals.  Your efforts will be rewarded.  Pluto is connected to elimination—get rid of junk and clutter.   This is a great time for spring cleaning.

        I hope you have your goals in life written down.  Many studies have shown that the people who write down their specific, measurable and objective goals are the people who reach them. 

        From May 11 through 17, 2012, Mercury trines Mars on one side and Pluto on the other, forming a positive Grand Trine.  Intellectual and communicative Mercury is willing to work hard to help with projects.    

Good for trips, learning and communication May 19 through 24, 2012.

        Mercury, the planet of short-distance trips, lower education, speaking, teaching and writing, is very close to Jupiter, the planet of long-distance trips, higher education, advertising and getting published, during these days.   Jupiter adds good fortune to all of the above-listed endeavors.

Major transformations February 27, 2012 through June 13, 2015.

Uranus and Pluto are so far from the Sun that they take a long time to go around the Sun and through the signs of the zodiac.  When they form angles with other outer planets, those aspects are in effect for a long time.  Uranus and Pluto form a square aspect (are about 90 degrees from each other) for more than three years, forming an underlying background for the other planetary aspects.  We will not notice their effect every day of this period, but we will notice major changes that can be attributable to these planets.  Uranus brings the unpredictable, the unusual and the eccentric.  It is a very freedom-loving planet and it can be rebellious and strong-willed.  Pluto is explosive, powerful and eliminates what is no longer needed.   Uranus is in Aries, a strong and independent sign, and Pluto is in Capricorn, which rules structures, laws and governments.  During this three-year period, we will see upheavals, struggles, revolutions, rebellions, unusual weather patterns and abrupt earth changes—volcanoes and earthquakes.

Take care while communicating and traveling May 29 to June 3, 2012.

While Mercury is in a stressful aspect (a 90-degree square) to Mars, take care while speaking, writing and traveling.  Mars is quick, forceful, argumentative, foolhardy and accident-prone.  It is also quick to take offense and irritable.  Don’t say or write anything while angry.  Calm yourself down first.  I would not cancel any trips under this period, but would be sure I drive under the speed limit and take extra care. 

Good news for the economy and for you.

        Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012.  Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes.  Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign.   Taurus is also slow moving, conservative and patient.  Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture.  Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money if you are prudent and don’t expect to get rich overnight.  I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses.  With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture.  Do you have the money you want?  If not, what do you need to do to get it?  Are you doing what you need to do?  Do you have multiple sources of income?

Stinking thinking, gains, challenges and more! May 1 through May 15, 2012 Astrology Forecast

        Stinking thinking, gains, challenges and more!  Nothing boring about these 15 days!  Overall, this can be a great time to realize your goals.  There are many indicators that say hard work can bring great results. 

Stinking thinking possible May 1 through May 9, 2012.

Beware of the tendency to have negative thinking and depression while Mercury opposes (is about 180 degrees from) Saturn.  We may see other people as being difficult. Do what you can to help yourself feel better and realize that this aspect is just temporary.  Upbeat music, dancing, chocolate, shopping and hanging out with people you care about might help. 

Gains through elders, superiors, business, investments and serious relationships May 1 through June 3, 2012.

        The planet of love and money, Venus, trines (is about 120 degrees from) Saturn, bringing opportunities for benefits through older people and bosses.  It’s a great time for business and investments because you are willing to do the hard work necessary to have good results.  Relationships turn serious and can be very good for people who are responsible for themselves as well as others.

        I hope you have your goals in life written down.  Many studies have shown that the people who write down their specific, measurable and objective goals are the people who reach them. 

        On days throughout May, other heavenly objects are in astrological angular positions with Mars and Pluto, adding more positive energy.  On May 1, 2012, the Moon joins Mars, adding emotional oomph to the mix. 

And then, on May 2 and 3, 2012, the Sun trines (is about 120 degrees from) Mars on one side and Pluto on the other, making a Grand Trine, a most beneficial configuration.  This adds enthusiasm and dynamism.

From May 11 through 17, 2012, Mercury trines Mars on one side and Pluto on the other, forming a positive Grand Trine.  Intellectual and communicative Mercury is willing to work hard to help with projects.

April 16 to 30, 2012 Astrology Forecast

April 16 to 30, 2012 Astrology Forecast

Freedom, willfulness and originality highlighted April 16 to April 28, 2012.

Mercury and Uranus close to each other in the sky during this period indicate that many will have strong urges to be free and not be told what to do.  Guard against being erratic, impatient or too hasty while speaking, driving or making decisions.  This is a good time to be original. 

Grand Cross April 1 to May 19, 2012 brings emotionalism and challenges. 

Neptune, Mars and the Moon’s Nodes form a Grand Cross in the sky, indicating excess emotionalism, confusion and challenges.  I prefer the word challenges to other words I might use, as challenges can be overcome and can encourage drive and achievement.

Challenges, confusion and opportunities

April 1 to 15, 2012 Astrology Forecast

Grand Cross April 1 to May 19, 2012 brings emotionalism and challenges. 

Neptune, Mars and the Moon’s Nodes form a Grand Cross in the sky, indicating excess emotionalism, confusion and challenges.  I prefer the word challenges to other words I might use, as challenges can be overcome and can encourage drive and achievement.

Neptune in Pisces has a hard time focusing on worldly matters.  It can be imaginative, spiritual, caring and wanting to provide service to other people and animals, but it can also be easily deceived. 

Mars in Virgo wants to get work done, but it tends to worry and be overly critical.  And then when Mars opposes (is about 180 degrees from) Neptune, it can have unrealistic expectations, further exacerbating those qualities of worrying and being hypercritical.  During this time we need to pay attention to our surroundings and work on seeing situations and people they way they really are, not how we hope them to be.  We should be on guard against accidents, negative thinking, worry, poisoning, and escapism, possibly through drugs and alcohol.  Artistic and creative pursuits and service are good ways to channel this energy.

        To further add to the potency of this energy between Mars and Neptune, the Moon’s Nodes get into the action and are squaring (about 90 degrees from) the opposition of Mars and Neptune.  Moon’s Nodes are where the Moon’s path crosses the Earth’s path around the Sun.  There are two Nodes, where the Moon’s path goes North of the Earth’s path, and then when it goes South of the Earth’s path.  Vedic astrologers attach enormous power to them and think they are active whenever events happen that are noticed all over the world. 

Grand Cross brings confusion and challenges to work, love and money matters from April 1 to April 14, 2012. 

And then, to top it all off, Venus is very close to the Moon’s South Node, and is squaring Neptune and Mars, until April 14, 2012.  Venus, the planet of money, social life and love is not thinking clearly and may be overly needy.  This is not an especially good time to buy expensive items unless they are necessary, and then do your homework to make sure you are getting what you think you are.  It can also be a confusing time for relationships.  This is not a good time to make any decisions about relationships as you may not have all the information you need and may not be thinking clearly.         

The effects of Mercury Retrograde through April 23, 2012.

        For information about Mercury Retrograde and what you can expect of it, go to the Mercury Retrograde button at www.DianneLawson.com. 

Get rid of clutter from 10:17 a.m. Central Daylight Time April 7, 2012 through 10:12 a.m. April 9, 2012. 

Many people have been telling me that they have been using the times that the Moon is in Scorpio to get rid of clutter and it helps.  The Moon is in Scorpio during these two days, and that means it is a good time to get rid of what no longer serves you, from those old coupons in your junk drawer to anyone whose negativity dampens your spirits. 

Great for new beginnings and multiple streams of income February 1 to April 10, 2012.

        The Great Benefic, Jupiter, is in a lucky trine (about 120 degrees from) Pluto, making this a great time for new projects and new beginnings.  These planets bring big money to people who have prosperity consciousness, optimism and self-confidence.  Don’t listen to people who have a consciousness of poverty—get out there and use this planetary energy for your benefit.  

Good for new beginnings, physical energy and hard work February 28 to May 31, 2012.

        Energetic Mars trines (is about 120 degrees from) Pluto, making this a good time to aggressively start new projects, and work hard to accomplish goals.  Pluto is connected to elimination—get rid of junk and clutter.   This is a great time for spring cleaning.

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012. 

        Saturn is an earthy planet, bringing stability and reliability to whatever it touches.  Saturn trines (is about 120 degrees from) ethereal Neptune, which means it is a great time to work on and finish artistic projects and use your intuition to benefit your life.  Listen to your hunches.  This aspect is great for being able to use psychic ability.

Good news for the economy and for you.

        Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012.  Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes.  Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign.   Taurus is also slow moving, conservative and patient.  Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture.  Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money if you are prudent and don’t expect to get rich overnight.  I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses.  With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture.  Do you have the money you want?  If not, what do you need to do to get it?  Are you doing what you need to do?  Do you have multiple sources of income?

Astrology Forecast March 16 to 31, 2012

March 16 to 31, 2012 Astrology Forecast

With all the unpredictable weather, uprisings, discord and other stressors happening during this intense time of shift in the world, I hope you read about all the pleasant and fortunate aspects the sky has in store for us during the next two weeks and take advantage of them. 

Mercury Retrograde March 12, 2012 to April 4, 2012

            For more information about Mercury Retrograde and what you can expect for it, go to the Mercury Retrograde button at www.DianneLawson.com. 

Out-of-the-ordinary conversations, mental pursuits and travel March 1 to March 25, 2012.

With Mercury, the planet of communication, intellectual pursuits and travel, very close in the sky to Uranus, the planet of change, unpredictability and originality, this is an interesting time for writers to write, students to study and everyone to take trips.  Be careful not to let words slip out of your mouth that are better left unsaid.  Be flexible while traveling and allow for changes in your schedule.  This is a good time to write original pieces and edit, but wait until Mercury goes direct on April 4, 2012 to submit to new publishers.    

Inner battles, change of attitudes needed from March 6 to 17, 2012.

            Mercury is about 90 degrees from Pluto, indicating possible pressure and stress with usual ways of dealing with life.  Looking at deep-rooted problems honestly can bring about a new outlook on life.  Take care with communication and travel.  Be slow to speak and allow extra time for transportation.

.   

Great for new beginnings and multiple streams of income February 1 to April 10, 2012.

            The Great Benefic, Jupiter, is in a lucky trine (about 120 degrees from) Pluto, making this a great time for new projects and new beginnings.  These planets bring big money to people who have prosperity consciousness, optimism and self-confidence.  

Good for new beginnings, physical energy and hard work February 28 to May 31, 2012.

            Energetic Mars trines (is about 120 degrees from) Pluto, making this a good time to aggressively start new projects, and work hard to accomplish goals.  Pluto is connected to elimination—get rid of junk and clutter.

A fortunate Grand Trine March 2 to March 26, 2012.

Mars, Jupiter and Pluto form a Grand Trine configuration in the sky during these days.  Each of the three planets is about 120 degrees from the other two, creating a lucky, helpful and beneficial time for us to get going to create the reality we want.  These planets are all in earth signs, which are practical and able to accomplish in the physical world, especially concerning money, possessions, work and career.  Steady progress brings great results. 

Great time for enjoying life and taking up opportunities March 6 to March 23, 2012.

Venus, the Lesser Benefic, and Jupiter, the Greater Benefic, are close to each other in the sky during these days.  Since they are easily visible to the naked eye, look to see them together in the western sky in the evenings.  These planets bring opportunities for beauty, pleasure, enjoyment and entertaining.  

Even better March 16 to March 18, 2012. 

            Benevolent Venus joins in the lucky Grand Trine as mentioned just above when it gets all close and comfy to Jupiter.  This is a wonderful time to focus on the material world, work hard and accomplish much. 

Happy Spring March 20, 2012.

            The Sun enters Aries on March 20 this year, starting the astrological New Year and the first day of Spring.  It is close to Mercury and Uranus, making this an energetic, unpredictable and versatile day.  Take time for some fun.   

Major transformations February 27, 2012 to June 13, 2015.

Uranus and Pluto are so far from the Sun that they take a long time to go around the Sun and through the signs of the zodiac.  When they form angles with other outer planets, those aspects are in effect for a long time.  Uranus and Pluto form a square aspect (are about 90 degrees from each other) for more than three years, forming an underlying background for the other planetary aspects.  We will not notice their effect every day of this period, but we will notice major changes that can be attributable to these planets.  Uranus brings the unpredictable, the unusual and the eccentric.  It is a very freedom-loving planet and it can be rebellious and strong-willed.  Pluto is explosive, powerful and eliminates what is no longer needed.   Uranus is in Aries, a strong and independent sign, and Pluto is in Capricorn, which rules structures, laws and governments.  During this three-year period, we will see upheavals, struggles, revolutions, rebellions, unusual weather patterns and abrupt earth changes—volcanoes and earthquakes.

On March 23, 2012, the Sun and the Moon join Uranus, adding even more energy to this aspect. 

             

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012. 

            Saturn is an earthy planet, bringing stability and reliability to whatever it touches.  Saturn trines (is about 120 degrees from) ethereal Neptune, which means it is a great time to work on and finish artistic projects and use your intuition to benefit your life.  Listen to your hunches.  This aspect is great for being able to use psychic ability.

Good news for the economy and for you.

            Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012.  Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes.  Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign.   Taurus is also slow moving, conservative and patient.  Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture.  Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money if you are prudent and don’t expect to get rich overnight.  I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses.  With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture.  Do you have the money you want?  If not, what do you need to do to get it?  Are you doing what you need to do?  Do you have multiple sources of income?

March 1 to 15, 2012 Astrology Forecast

March 1 to 15, 2012 Astrology Forecast

Mercury Retrograde already?

            From time to time, each of the planets appears to go in backward motion across the signs of the zodiac, depending upon the relative positions of the earth and the planet.  That apparent backward motion is called retrograde motion.

When Mercury is retrograde, it is a good time to renew, revise, refurbish, rethink, redo and get rid of anything that no longer serves you.  As a Feng Shui consultant, I am always happy when the planets are helping us get rid of clutter.    

Whenever Mercury is retrograde, communications, contracts, machines and travel plans may go awry.  For ordinary life, including communications, contracts and travel, I pay little or no attention to when Mercury is retrograde.  I do, however, pay close attention to when Mercury is retrograde for important communicating, contract signing and passport vacation traveling.   I will continue to go about my daily life and do what needs to be done, but I will not send any manuscripts to new publishers under a Mercury retrograde period.

Under Mercury Retrograde, take extra care while communicating with others.  Make sure that everyone understands what the plans and expectations are.  Signing important contracts to buy expensive items, applying for or starting a new job, or sending a manuscript to a new publisher may come to naught, have to be redone, or be short-lived.  If you travel when Mercury is retrograde, make allowances for changes in schedules and allow extra time to arrive.  Mercury also rules telephones, computers, printers, machines and cars, so do everything you can to have them in good running order before Mercury goes retrograde.

Even though Mercury is not yet retrograde, it may already be affecting us.  The effects of Mercury Retrograde are felt before and after the planet actually goes backwards through the signs of the zodiac as seen from the earth.  These times before and after Mercury Retrograde are called shadow periods.  A shadow period begins when Mercury is at the same degree of the zodiac where it will later go in forward motion again.  A later shadow period is when Mercury starts going forwards again but is not yet at the same degree of the zodiac as it was when it first started going backwards.  Astrologers differ in their beliefs about shadow periods, but I think the shadow periods are not as strong as the actual retrograde periods.  I will sign important contracts in shadow periods but not in retrograde periods.

Watch and see for yourself how important the shadow periods are compared to the actual Mercury Retrograde periods.       

February 27, 2012 Mercury enters the shadow period

March 12, 2102 Mercury goes retrograde

April 4, 2012 Mercury goes in forward motion

April 23, 2012 Mercury is out of the shadow

Take advantage of out-of-the-ordinary conversations, mental pursuits and travel March 1 to March 25, 2012.

With Mercury, the planet of communication, intellectual pursuits and travel, very close in the sky to Uranus, the planet of change, unpredictability and originality, this is an interesting time for writers to write, students to study and everyone to take trips.  Be careful not to let words slip out of your mouth that are better left unsaid.  Be flexible while traveling and allow for changes in your schedule. 

Great time for enjoying life and taking up opportunities March 6 to March 23, 2012.

Venus, the Lesser Benefic, and Jupiter, the Greater Benefic, are close to each other in the sky during these days.  Since they are easily visible to the naked eye, look to see them together in the western sky in the evenings.  These planets bring opportunities for beauty, pleasure, enjoyment and entertaining.  

Inner battles, change of attitudes needed from March 6 to 17, 2012?

            Mercury is about 90 degrees from Pluto, indicating possible pressure and stress with usual ways of dealing with life.  Looking at deep rooted problems honestly can bring about a new outlook on life.  Take care with communication and travel.  Be slow to speak and allow extra time for transportation.

Great for new beginnings and multiple streams of income February 1 to April 10, 2012.

            The Great Benefic, Jupiter, is in a lucky trine (about 120 degrees from) Pluto, making this a great time for new projects and new beginnings.  These planets bring big money to people who have prosperity consciousness, optimism and self-confidence.  An added bonus is from March 2 to March 25, 2012 when Mars joins these planets in a Grand Trine configuration in the sky.  Each of the three planets is about 120 degrees from the other two, creating a lucky, helpful and beneficial time for us to get going to create the reality we want.   

Disappointments, loneliness and unhappiness possible February 27 to March 7, 2012.

            With Venus, the planet of love and social life, opposite Saturn in the sky, some may feel that their relationships may not be meeting their needs.  Relationships are a mirror of who we are and this is a good time to reflect on how we are choosing people to be in our lives and how we are meeting their needs.  If we are not seeing eye-to-eye with someone, maybe we might try to look and see how the other is seeing us. 

Major transformations February 27, 2012 to June 13, 2015.

Uranus and Pluto are so far from the Sun that they take a long time to go around the Sun and through the signs of the zodiac.  When they form angles with other outer planets, those aspects are in effect for a long time.  Uranus and Pluto form a square aspect (are about 90 degrees from each other) for more than three years, forming an underlying background for the other planetary aspects.  We will not notice their effect every day of this period, but we will notice major changes that can be attributable to these planets.  Uranus brings the unpredictable, the unusual and the eccentric.  It is a very freedom-loving planet and it can be rebellious and strong-willed.  Pluto is explosive, powerful and eliminates what is no longer needed.   Uranus is in Aries, a strong and independent sign, and Pluto is in Capricorn, which rules structures, laws and governments.  During this three-year period, we will see upheavals, struggles, revolutions, rebellions, unusual weather patterns and abrupt earth changes—volcanoes and earthquakes.

             

Good for new beginnings, physical energy and hard work February 28 to May 31, 2012.

            Energetic Mars trines (is about 120 degrees from) Pluto, making this a good time to aggressively start new projects, and work hard to accomplish goals.  Pluto is connected to elimination—get rid of junk and clutter.   

              

Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012. 

            Saturn is an earthy planet, bringing stability and reliability to whatever it touches.  Saturn trines (is about 120 degrees from) ethereal Neptune, which means it is a great time to work on and finish artistic projects and use your intuition to benefit your life.  Listen to your hunches.  This aspect is great for being able to use psychic ability.

Good news for the economy and for you.

            Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012.  Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes.  Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign.   Taurus is also slow moving, conservative and patient.  Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture.  Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money if you are prudent and don’t expect to get rich overnight.  I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses.  With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture.  Do you have the money you want?  If not, what do you need to do to get it?  Are you doing what you need to do?  Do you have multiple sources of income?
