Astrological News
We begin this month will a lot of activity from an astrological standpoint. Mercury retrograde is over!!! Hurrah! May 4th we have a lunar eclipse in the sign of Scorpio. So Scorpio, Taurus, Leos and Aquarius be most affected. Also on May 4th, lucky planet Jupiter starts moving forward gain too. Thank goodness! This will help us out a great deal. It's time to start promoting yourself again, getting your resume out there or open a new business. However, on May 17th Venus goes retrograde so expect lots of relationship trouble. I can bet my phone will ringing; off the wall this month for consultations! Everyone will be rethinking their relationships, marriages, money and value systems. the stock market could go down too. Venus retrograde goes until June 29th. This is not a good time to get married either. So as you can see, Venus retrograde means this spring's theme will be relationships!
Mars will conjunct Saturn on May 25th so please be patient around this time as you'll encounter lots of restrictions and challenges. Taking us into June, the 2nd we have Venus opposes Pluto so allot of the relationship that need to be transformed will be brought to our attention. Oh boy! Here we go again! This aspect last for over three months. In late April you probably got an introduction to the lesson or issue you needed to transform. Between May 17 and the end of June you'll rethink the issue and decide what steps you need to take t resolve it. Then in July you'll make the final changes to resolve the issues. Some us may change our jobs, how we spend money and make money. Others of us may get divorced, separate, end bad relationships. Some relationship may be forced to change but not necessarily end. Divorce will be common and maybe even some deaths. Some people will file bankruptcy while other get out of debt complete. The problem with this aspects is that many of us may have more than one of these Venus issues we are dealing with. Yes, I'll be at the home office for most of the month if you need hope!
However you can look forward to a rare phenomenon as on June 8th we have the occultation of Venus. This aspects intensifies relationships and money issues. It will be an intense period, either for the good or onto so good Many things will come to light.
It seems everyone is into Feng Shui these days...more and more people are learning about the 5,000 year old Asian method of arranging your home and office space in certain ways to improve and increase the flow of energy. As an astrologer I have also found the same elements used in the feng shui theory; metal, water, wood, fire and earth are also used to help predictions for individuals. For instance rather than saying you are a Taurus or a Leo as we do in Western Astrology, your sign is based on one the elements and based NOT on the month or day you were born but rather the year. Look to the following chart to see what element you are and then read more about your personality.
If your birth year ends in a:
0 or 1...........you are metal
2 or 3...........you are water
4 or 5...........you are wood
6 or 7...........you are fire
8 or 9...........you are earth
If you are Earth
You are practical and patience. You don;t make snap decisions and hate to feel pressured. You can also not be pushed into anything you don;t want to do. You are reliable and steadfast.
If you are Metal
You can be logical and very detailed oriented. You are security minded and enjoy the finer things that life has to offer. You could be lucky and if you feel confident about yourself, can go very far in life. You can be stubborn at times but loyal to those you love.
If you are Water
You tend to be smart and adaptable. You probably are very good at communicating. Many of you have nurturing qualities and tend to be more of a "giver" than a receiver. you also enjoy peace and harmony. Family and friends are very important to you.
If You are Wood
Wood people are strong and make great leader types. You will have varied interests and may get bored easily if your thirst for knowledge and variety in life is not met. People look to you for advice and have a tendency to put you on a pedestal. isn't it wonderful to be so loved?
If You are Fire
There's no doubt you can be very passionate about something you believe in. You can be creative and fun loving. Fire people are always on the run and seldom get bored. You set high goals for your self and strive very hard to achieve them. |

A Tribute to Man's Best Friend
This was sent to me on the Internet last month and as a pet-lover, I appreciated it. It came at a good time too. My 14 year old collie, Joe, has cancer and I canceled almost all of my commitments in March to stay home with him after his surgery. He is doing fine but the pancreatic tumor is growing. He shows no signs of it unless we overfeed him as the tumor is pushing against his stomach. The vet says there is nothing we can do to stop the tumor, but for now, it is not affecting his quality of life and he seems fine. It is about the size of half a fist. Any of you who have pets know they "are" your family. Please say a healing prayer for Joe as you read this. I'd really appreciate it!
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

Dear Abby
As a reader, I get a lot of interesting questions posed to me by clients. But the top advice giver of all time, Dear Abby has probably heard it all! Here's some true and funny letters forwarded to me over the Internet. Enjoy!
The following are actual letters that Abigail Van Buren (Dear Abby) admitted she was at a total loss to answer:
Dear Abby,
A couple of women moved in across the hall from me One is a middle-aged gym teacher, and the other is a social worker in her mid 20's. These two women go everywhere together, and I've never seen a man go into their apartment or come out. Do you think they could be Lebanese?
Dear Abby,
What can I do about all the sex, nudity, language and violence on my VCR?
Dear Abby,
I have a man I never could trust. He cheats so much I'm not even sure this baby I'm carrying is even his.
Dear Abby,
I am a 23-three-year-old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It's getting expensive, and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him.
Dear Abby,
I suspected that my husband had been fooling around, and when I confronted him with the evidence he denied everything and said it would never happen again. Should I believe him?
Dear Abby,
Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?
Dear Abby,
I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now, how do I get out?
Dear Abby,
My 40-year-old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50 an hour every week for two-and-a-half years. He must be crazy.
Dear Abby,
Do you think it would be all right if I gave my doctor a little gift? I tried for years to get pregnant and couldn't, and he did it.
Dear Abby,
My mother is mean and short-tempered. Do you think she is going through her mental pause?
Dear Abby, You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor. Well, my husband lost all interest in sex years ago and he IS a doctor. What now? |

Hope to hear from you or see you soon!

Problems with getting my newsletters?
We're having more and more problems with email providers blocking us, as we are suspected of sending spam around with this email letter. If you miss out on any future issues (currently AOL, .cs, worldnett.att.net members and even some MSN addresses are a huge trouble here) ask your email provider to UNBLOCK this newsletter address. AOL members need to phone the AOL Postmaster Hotline at 1-703-265-4670 or 1-888-212-5537 and ask them to get us on the whitelist. (And then they are first going to monitor our email behaviour. :-) )
Each week we are sending the non deliverables on to Rich who takes great pains in getting the email newsletter to you but, boy, it is almost becoming unmanagable with the current anti-spam politics. We're suffering both ways now. From the spam and from the blockades. Please note that if you miss out on any future issue, this may be because YOUR provider has blocked our email address. What can you do? Ask your provider to unblock this newsletter email address immediately...for this is not an unsolicited bulkmail but a much wanted one. :-)
