Weekly Horoscopes 20th - 28th May

The Sun is passing from Taurus into Gemini today. Moreover, it's the solar eclipse today too - the first of two eclipses, the 2nd one being a lunar eclipse on 4th June - and it's a lively week ahead too!

Neptune's around to cloud our thinking: are those big opportunities you see on the road ahead, or are you deluding yourself? That's the effect Neptune can have on our lives. There's only one thing to do when you need to separate fantasy from reality: go with your what you're feeling in your heart and your gut!

Just in time, Mercury's move into Gemini on 24th will help you to make decisions, bringing clarity.

Luckily for all of us, there are some fantastic, intuitive astrologers out there to help us make the best choices this week.

Make the most of all the opportunities that come your way this week - even if they're disguised as obstacles!  May ends on a very upbeat Uranus note - keep looking ahead and visualising positive outcomes.

Down to Earth Midweek

The Supermoon was glorious - but it's good to get back down to Earth this week after a pretty tense Monday and Tuesday! The Moon entered Capricorn in the small hours of this morning followed by Mercury a couple of hours later. The Sun is in Taurus for another couple of weeks and this week, the Sun meets Jupiter, an annual and heavenly happening!

So if you're an Earth sign or you have Taurus, Capricorn or Virgo in any of your major houses, you'll be feeling in the groove, like the world's your kind of place. For everyone, from tomorrow, Thursday 10th April, right through the weekend, make the most of these rich planetary vibes, get out and about and spend time doing what gives you most pleasure!

As mentioned above, Mercury is in Taurus for a while which will be a relief to all of us that have found the confusion and negativity of the past month challenging.  If you've been trying to sift fact from fiction, the truth will be heard loud and clear from May 9th and a greater feeling of stability will return to all our lives.

Mercury rules communications (and the signs Gemini and Virgo) passes through each sign each year, and goes retrograde, three or four times a year.

For much more in-depth information, Laura Bruno has a really robust article on Mercury Retrograde, You'll learn how to prepare for those periods, and importantly, how to use their energies to achieve your goals. To check when Mercury's retrograde in 2012, check the charts here.

Enjoy 10th-14th May, go with the flow and be open to opportunity!
