New Moon 5/16/2007

Full Moon 5/31/2007

Neptune Retrograde 5/25/2007

On April 29, Mars was in exact conjunction with Uranus in Pisces, your Natural 12th House, which governs your spirituality and general relationship with the collective consciousness.  Sometime within a week one way or the other, you will probably, if you haven't already, experience some kind of revelation in this area.  This is somewhat foreign territory for Rams and chances are you'll find it rather annoying and wonder what the hell is going on.  At best, your intuition will be sharpened; at worst you'll be confused and possibly easy prey to being confused or deceived in some way.  All you can do is be aware of what's causing it and realize that you didn't blow a figurative breaker in your brain or take a quick trip into the world of the insane.  The typical Aries response to all of this will probably be to drown it in alcohol until it goes away, which in this case is probably not a bad idea. 

Probably about the time you're getting past all that Uranus crap, Neptune will go retrograde (RX) on the 25th in your Natural 11th House of group activities, friends, hopes and wishes.  This could likewise trigger some inspiration, but again give it a sanity check.  If you work with it properly, it could present an opportunity, perhaps to move closer to your hopes and dreams.  Pay attention, give it serious thought, and act on it accordingly.

The Full Moon on the 2nd occurs in Scorpio, your Natural 8th House of intimate relationships, other people's resources, and transformation.  This could signal either the culmination or end of a phase in this area.  It could cause some restlessness on your part or require an adjustment of some sort, especially for those born on or around April 1st.  If nothing else, it's likely to stimulate your sex drive in some manner or possibly give you a strong urge to borrow money for something.  It's interesting to note that one of the reasons that Aries enjoy a strong sex drive is the fact that their Natural 8th House is Scorpio, which emanates magnetism, obsession and mystique.  So if anyone ever comments on how sexy you are, you can reply that it's because your Natural 8th House is in Scorpio, which should make for a very interesting conversation.

The Sun and Mercury are both in Taurus until the 11th, when Mercury moves into Gemini.  This will highlight your possessions, pleasures and comforts in some way, and could also offer some impetus for you to indulge in something, though it just might help you define mentally how these fit into your life.  When Mercury moves into Gemini, it will stimulate your thought processes, so take advantage of this boost if you're brainstorming something.

After the 8th, Venus spends the month in your Natural 4th House of home environment, which should provide pleasant experiences in this area.  Things in and about your household should go smoothly, so enjoy it while it lasts.  Saturn, who's camped out in your Natural 5th House of children, love life and creativity, is still reminding you of various responsibilities and restrictions, but since he came out of retrograde on April 22, you should have some new insights into any how to improve things in this venue.  Once you have a grip on the solution, you shouldn't have any problem putting them into action by the end of July.

There's a second Full Moon this calendar month, which is known as a Blue Moon.  Since this doesn't occur that often, it's the origin of the expression "once in a blue moon."  This one occurs on the 31st in Sagittarius, your Natural 9th House of higher education, legal matters and long distance travel.  As Full Moons go, this will likewise indicate the culmination or end of a particular phase that began with the last New Moon in Sagittarius last December. 

With Jupiter and Pluto both RX in that same sign, you'll probably be ruminating upon various issues relative to those venues.  Jupiter RX generally stimulates considerations relative to morals and ethics on both a personal and grand scale while Pluto is the Zodiacal back-hoe who just loves to dig up the figurative septic tank where you have flushed elements of your past that you didn't want to deal with at the time.  If you were born on or around March 21, this is likely to be rather uncomfortable; if you were born on or around April 19, you'll still feel it but in a more harmonious manner.  Pluto is somewhat the bad actor of the astrological scene, but when all is said and done you're better off once all that old figurative crap is cleaned out.

Overall, this should be a good month for you, once you get past that woo-woo stuff early on, which won't necessarily be a bad thing, depending on how you handle it.  Your mental processes should be in high gear, your homelife should run smoothly, and you'll more than likely find solutions to any issues with kids, lovers or any creative projects you have going.  All this coupled with that extra energy boost midmonth from your buddy, Mars, should make for a good month.
