It is better to error on the side of caution during this period. Two-heads are better than one! So, try discussing your concerns with better-informed well-wishers to get the situation analyzed in a different perspective than yours so that you can be armed with the right information needed to plan your strategies. Influential persons will be in a realistic frame of mind, and so if your ideas are practical and deserve approval, you can expect a hassle-free clearance for your projects; however, all pie-in-the sky sort of ideas will be consigned to flames without much ado! This is a good period for scheduling crucial corporate negotiations. Romance can bloom in the most unlikely of circumstances suddenly during the first week due to the aspect between Venus and Moon’s North node.
Mercury turns retrograde on May 7, 2009 in the 8th degree of Taurus.
The degree in which Mercury turns retrograde is symbolized
as “ An old man, poorly clad, stands by the side of a river,
from which he collects bits of wood and straw with a rake.”
(Vide – La Volasfera translated by “SEPHARIAL”).
This is a degree of Lassitude. Mercury turning retrograde
in this degree heralds a period of potential communication
goof-ups; delayed mails, wrongly delivered messages, and
misunderstandings. Keep all communication straight and simple
to avoid potential misunderstanding with others. Be warned
that trying to take the easy way out from current situations
will only lead to more losses – especially in business.
Apply yourselves more diligently to your work and learn
to take things as they come. This is a period when there
is ample chance of getting caught and strangled in one’s
own webs of intrigues. So, be as straightforward as possible
in all dealings.
A child born during this period must be taught the importance
of hard-work, and must trained to remain focused and attentive
in life through patient methods peppered with abundant love;
otherwise, the person may develop as an individual who will
scratch himself to heaps of sorrow and annoyance. Without
proper training, such a person will lack the ability to
conserve his resources intelligently, and to seek opportunities
in life actively.
Mars quincunxes Saturn on May 12, 2009; Sun squares Jupiter on May 16, 2009.
Others can be more sensitive than your realize. Even seemingly innocuous remarks might touch someone’s raw nerve and unnecessary arguments might erupt as a result. Be patient even in the face of irritating circumstances. Handle all legal matters with abundant care. Ensure that your projects and business plans are compliant with the regulations in force so that there won’t be any unnecessary legal hassles later on.
Saturn turns direct on May 17, 2009 in the 21st degree of Leo.
This degree is symbolized as “A human face surmounted by a coiled serpent; a raised hand also appears on the scene.” (Vide – La Volas Fera – Translated by “SEPHARIAL”).
This is an auspicious degree. Much introspection and knowledge of human nature, much discretion, careful balance of power and effort, and diplomacy of the highest order are indicated by this degree.
If you have been patient and persevering in the recent past, and doing your best in spite of surmounting obstacles, you will find that Saturn – the hard taskmaster has turned benevolent suddenly and is now willing to reward you well. It is party time for you! But, those of you have been idling it out due to sheer frustration in the recent past…..well, you have missed the script and may see life chances drifting away from you. This is a degree of deep sympathies and justice.
A child born during this period will be blessed with strong powers of concentration, good memory, and will be successful in commanding others through insight into character of humans. Birth during this time blesses the child with a keen understanding of the laws of life, and hence places it at an advantageous position to acquire status, honour, and success in life. Parents should understand that they have a child with special destiny under their care and do all that they can to nurture those natural talents.
Mercury squares Neptune on May 20, 2009; Venus quincunxes Saturn on May 20, 2009
Romantic matters need to be handled with more patience and tact; impulsive speech and actions can spoil relationships and lead to possible break in relationships during this sensitive period. You also need to be highly realistic and professional while taking crucial financial or business decisions. Do not cling on to your strategies on egoistic grounds….if there is a genuine need to scrap some of your recent moves and begin afresh, do so without unnecessary ego/ sentimental hang-ups.
Possibly the worst has already happened in both financial and romantic matters, and the time now should be used to recoup ourselves after such a wreck. The imagery of a peaceful sea with wreck indicates that the course ahead is unlikely to be risky and that should be enough reason to warm our hearts as long as we have not lost everything!
Mars sextiles Jupiter on May 27, 2009; Mars sextiles Neptune on May 27, 2009.
This is an excellent time for remodeling residence or office in an effort to improve the ambience. Good aesthetics and ambience will do wonders to propel people towards improved sense of self-worth and this will show as increased tendency to be more productive and efficient. Your dynamism and ability to take snap decisions based on sudden developments will decide the extent of your success during this period. Try appealing to the sentiments rather than logic of other persons if you need to handle negotiations during this period.
