Scorpio Monthly Stars by Yasmin Boland: May 2013

Important news for all the signs…

There’s a New Moon eclipse AND a Full Moon eclipse this month so mark May down in your diary as very powerful! The New Moon eclipse is in the sign of Taurus, which is the sign related to – among other things; the planet of love and riches. Meanwhile the Full Moon eclipse is in the sign of Sagittarius.

One thing we can say about May is that thanks to the eclipses, it’s very much a month where we can turn our finances around. Of course, the world economies have been very much up against it in the past few years. Can the eclipse change things? Well, yes and no. yes if we all change. No if we all remain in a state of fear when it comes to our thoughts about cash. So how are you when it comes to money? Do you believe there is plenty out there or are you holding your breath for the fall of Wall St and a triple dip recession so you can say “I told you so!” Do you feel trapped when it comes to cash or do you believe that money is energy and flow abundantly to those who welcome it without fear? Use the eclipse this month to work out your thoughts re money and to work through any financial fears you have. If you grew up in a home where you were always reminded that money doesn’t grow on trees, you need to reprogram your thoughts. OK so money doesn’t actually grow on trees but it’s not THAT hard to earn it. Focus on the idea that the money which flows to you is a physical rewards for your efforts.

This is a potentially break through month. We also have the latest of the clangings on the heavenly bells, Uranus clashing with Pluto. This is the cosmic configuration which is reminding us that change is inevitable and we have to move with the times. If you are scared of changing, you are holding yourself back. If you are allowing your life to evolve, you are well and truly on the right track!

For your eyes only…

The New Moon eclipse this month is going to focus your attention on someone else – probably your romantic partner, past or present. Romancing someone (or escaping them) will be your focus for the coming six months. If you’re in what you know is a dead-end relationship, don’t wait a moment longer to knock it on the head, so that you clear the way for the love of your life to enter. He/she could turn up during this cycle, so don’t panic about being alone if you’re currently single. Happily attached? This New Moon eclipse promises to take your relationship up a notch. This cycle could also introduce you to one or more very powerful people who could change your life in a very good way. Avoid bullies. For more astrology, visit Yasmin Boland's website, moonology.com

Scorpios still hurting from their past love life need to shake off the pain and determine that now is the time to start again. There is a New Moon eclipse in your Love Zone this month which is a mega sign from the heavens to bold go forwards. Happily coupled? Things can go from good to great. Don't work too hard.

And in Love News (because we all like a bit of Love News…)

As of May 10, Venus will be moving through your eighth house of sex, money, intimacy and taboos. This is one of the sexiest transits of Venus – though sometimes it's very subtle. This is the part of your chart where you keep your feelings re jealousy and possessiveness, so be careful if you have a tendency in one of those directions. If you've already been struggling with one or both of those issues recently, matters can be expected to come to a head at some point over the next month. Subconscious psychological patterns which influence you when you're in a relationship are likely to become more obvious – analyse yourself and see what you see. Be honest with yourself. Are you scared of letting someone get too close? What tactics are you using to keep them away? Sexually, this could be a super-charged month – make sure you don't go getting in over your head, if you decide to Do Your Eighth House Thing and smash down taboos. Go at your own pace. Financially, this part of your chart is about shared cash – the coming four months is a particularly good time to either ask for a raise or a loan.
