I am on hiatus, so here is a previous review of a perennial classic that is still in print, and that many readers may have missed. Next month, we will be reviewing a book that is possibly a “new classic,” Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune, by Chris Brennan. It is a big, comprehensive book about a type of astrology that “is the source of many of the modern traditions of astrology.” Don’t miss it. The Book of World Horoscopes, by Nicholas Campion. The Wessex Astrologer Ltd, 4a Woodside Road, Bournemouth, BH5 2AZ. wessexastrologer.com. 685 pages, paper, $55.00.

Often during a given 12-month period, Jupiter and Saturn will work together to move you in a particular direction, but this year each of them will be playing a different tune and it’s up to you to make them harmonize. Jupiter in your solar 7th and 8th houses focuses on partnerships and the financial ties that bind them. This is partnership on a serious level, and if done right it can put your long-term money situation on a sound footing. Saturn, which has been moving ever closer to Pluto over the last year, will be close enough to each other to have a meaningful effect on your solar 9th. This could bring a serious effort to put formal education ahead of everything else in your life, which in turn could…

All positions are for Midnight EST. The longitudes table indicates each planet’s daily position in the signs. The declinations table shows each planet’s placement north or south of the celestial equator. “R” in a planet’s listing in the longitude table indicates that it begins retrograde motion on that date, or may indicate retrograde status at the beginning of the month. “D” means that the planet has resumed its forward (direct) motion in the signs. Exact times for all of these phenomena are given in the Hourly Guide and in the Planning Calendar on the pages following this one.…

April 21st to May 20th YOUR MAYGUIDE 1st-8th: Master a skill. Expand your career choices by signing up for a class to learn a new skill, Taurus. Explore options for a certificate or diploma as well. With Saturn, Pluto, and Mars in your solar 9th, this new step will be challenging and could take up a great deal of your time, but the discipline and hard work will pay off once you graduate. 9th-16th: Brand new image. With the New Moon occurring in your sign on the 15th, the challenge is to continue a learning process that could take up a great deal of your time over the next few weeks. You may also want to change your image, so treat yourself to a few new outfits. Be sure to…

July 23rd to August 22nd YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Opportunity knocks. This may be the start of a new business model for you, Leo. On the 8th, the Sun in your solar 10th forms an opposition to Jupiter in your solar 4th, so divide your time between your current career and seeking out new opportunities. These could include dabbling in real estate, or forming a partnership with a friend who shares your creative vision. 9th-16th: A new path. Since the New Moon makes an appearance in your solar 10th on the 15th, you can begin to eye a new career path or pastime, though there is no need to rush into it. When it rains it pours, so focus on your current job, since a salary increase or promotion may…

October 23rd to November 21st YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: In shape. Drop everything not deadline-oriented so you can spend quality time with someone you love, Scorpio. On the 6th, the Sun in your solar 7th forms a sextile to Neptune in your solar 5th, so try to put work behind you, and do something active together. Bicycling, swimming, tennis or other outdoor activities bring you closer together and help you stay in shape. 9th-16th: Next chapter. The New Moon positioned in your solar 7th on the 15th indicates the start of something exciting that can change the course of your closest relationship.

On the 6th, the Sun in your solar 4th forms a sextile to Neptune in your solar 2nd, so try to connect with family members you may not have seen for a while. Although it may take time to track them down, once you do they will probably be thrilled to hear from you. 9th-16th: Reunion time. The New Moon in your solar 4th on the 15th can mark a new beginning for you and long-lost relatives. Your close family might encourage you to arrange a reunion where everyone can meet each other face to face. It may be difficult getting people together from different parts of the country,…

It doesn’t take very long for someone who knows even a little bit about astrology to realize that a combination of the planet Uranus and the sign Taurus is the perfect picture of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. This month’s entry of Uranus into that sign signals changes everywhere, so what it means to the world and to you personally is explained in “Revolutionize Your Life,” on page 32. If you happen to have a personal birth chart (an easy thing to get these days), it’s likely that unless you’ve sat down with an astrologer to understand what it means you may not fully understand it. “Solving the Astrological Puzzle” on page 38 won’t make you an astrologer, but it will help you learn how all those pieces…

According to the principles of numerology, the year 2018 reduces to 2 (2+0+1+8=11=2), a number that lends itself to reflecting on the goals that you have set for yourself, and how you want to go about making them happen. Even if you have been wildly successful, life is about opening yourself up to new challenges and moving in new directions. Surround yourself with people who believe in you so that you can manifest your hopes and dreams. We add the number for the current year to the month number (January is 1, December is 1+2=3) to your own birthday number (1st=1, 31st=3+1=4) to calculate your vibration for the month. FOR THOSE BORN ON THE 1st, 10th, 19th, and 28th of any month Mars-8 vibrations encourage you to get out in…

On the 26th Venus in Cancer opposes Saturn retrograde in Capricorn, creating a mismatch between sentimentality and expectation. ⋆…

Uranus enters Taurus on May 15 for an eight-year visit. This planet is universally considered to be the planet of shock and surprise, as it doesn’t color between the lines or play follow the leader, and always seems to make its own rules. When it affects our lives it can make us feel free to be ourselves, and to do our own thing, but no matter what we try to do on our own it never fails to remind us that it is hanging around, looking for a way to keep us on our toes. As the planet of rebellion, it can be very unpredictable, and at times may even push us too far, because it doesn’t do things by half steps. However, though a Uranian transit may on occasion…

On these two pages you will find the basic planting rules for the month of May, derived from ancient traditions. Even if you’ve never planted by the Moon, these rules are easy to apply. All it takes to raise a good “crop” (or tend to your house plants) is to have a little knowledge of lunar lore, and to give your plants the care they deserve! 29th from 7:58 p.m. through 1st to 10:20 a.m. Full Moon, Scorpio. Good for perennial, biennial, bulbs, root separations, cuttings. 1st from 10:20 a.m. through 3rd to 9:06 p.m. Full Moon, Sagittarius.

Different Kinds of Opposites In some sense, Taurus and Gemini, the signs the transiting Sun goes through between April 19 and June 20, moving from the former to the latter on May 20, seem like opposites; in a rather different sense, the Sun and Uranus, the two planets who will concern us this month, also seem like opposites. All signs that precede or follow each other in sequence will seem like opposites. At the same time, the sequence in question arises through the pattern of the year, so the word “complement” should immediately come to mind. Another thought that should immediately occur to us: the very notion that Taurus and Gemini qualify as opposites actually comes from the mind, first of all. We need to distinguish such mental constructions from…

May 21st to June 20th YOUR MAYGUIDE 1st-8th: Long-term future. Planning for your financial future takes center stage, Gemini. Sit down with your significant other and family members to go over your budget to see if you wish to continue in the same direction. Mars, Saturn, and Pluto in your solar 8th provide a conservative outlook, so think about the long-term future rather than the short-term benefits. 9th-16th: Exotic destination. Mars enters your solar 9th on the 15th, so once you agree on your future budgeting go ahead and plan an exciting trip with your significant other or close friend. Choose a foreign destination that you have dreamed about or simply head off to another part of the country whose where the culture is different from your own. 17th-23rd: Special…

August 23rd to September 22nd YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Romantic and exotic. Think of taking your significant other on a trip abroad this summer, Virgo. On the 6th, the Sun in your solar 9th forms a sextile to Neptune in your solar 7th, so this is a perfect time to plan a romantic and exotic vacation. If you are unattached, plan to go with a close friend. Wherever you go, you will be glad you did. 9th-16th: Dreams come true. With the New Moon falling in your solar 9th on the 15th, the idea of spending time abroad can transform from a pipe dream into a reality. Check out places you want to visit, and explore affordable travel packages. As Mars enters your solar 6th on New Moon day, motivate…

November 22nd to December 21st YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Fitness fun. As the summer approaches, you can focus on looking good and feeling fit, Sagittarius. On the 6th, the Sun in your self-improvement sector (solar 6th) forms a sextile to Neptune in your solar 4th, so make a firm decision to start a healthy eating plan and exercise routine then. You can seal the deal if your family participates in the process with you. 9th-16th: Permanent change. Mercury and Uranus enter your solar 6th on the 13th and the 15th, so a diet and exercise plan begun last week will continue to be successful. With the New Moon falling in that same sector on the 15th, you can make lifestyle changes that can, with the support of your family and…

February 19th to March 20th YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Loud and clear. Getting active in a cause that you are passionate about may be front and center this week, Pisces. With Mars, Saturn, and Pluto all in your solar 11th you will feel more like speaking your mind freely, and others will be more inclined than usual to listen intently to your point of view. Your idealism and earnestness will come through loud and clear. 9th-16th: Follow your passion. Continue to express your passion for what you believe in. After Mercury and Uranus enter your solar 3rd on the 13th and the 15th, you may be asked to speak to different groups or to lead a discussion. You may have been shy about public speaking in the past, but you…

When you are trying to learn astrology, at first it can seem like a big jigsaw puzzle that someone scattered on the kitchen table and told you to solve. It may seem impossible to take all those jagged little pieces scattered about here and there and turn them into any kind of coherent picture, but knowing that others have managed to do it tells you that where there is a will, and a method, there’s a way. Others have done it — for many centuries in fact — and you can do it too! Every birth chart is made up of the same essential ingredients (Sun, Moon, and planets in signs and houses), all based on the exact time, date, and place of your birth. Just as you take your…

The big news this month is the arrival of Uranus in Taurus. On May 15, the Awakener, as Uranus is often called, begins a seven-year stay in the Fixed Earth sign. In May, there is a strong emphasis on the Earth signs, as six planets spend time in signs related to that element. The Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn), are associated with the physical world, the senses, and the practical world of work and achievement. This is an excellent month to work on issues that can affect your security, work, finances, status, and business interests. Planets take on the characteristics of each specific sign. Security, comfort and practicality are common Taurus interests. To learn more about what the planets’ movements may mean for you, read the forecast for your…

March 21st to April 20th YOUR MAYGUIDE 1st-8th: Budget well. Getting your finances in order will be an important focus this week, Aries. On the 6th, the Sun in your solar 2nd forms a sextile to Neptune in your solar 12th, so start planning a vacation abroad by saving more and spending less.

With the Sun in your solar 11th forming a sextile to Neptune in your solar 9th on the 6th, you need to surround yourself with friends who will support your decisions unconditionally. Treasure their opinions as they act as sounding boards and play devil’s advocate. 9th-16th: Companionship. With Mercury and Uranus entering your solar 11th on the 13th and 15th you will value the companionship of friends more than ever. You may miss someone close to you who recently moved, so plan a trip to visit. It’s a challenge for two people to carve out free time that will mesh with each others’ schedules. Keep at it and it will come together. 17th-23rd:…

September 23rd to October 22nd YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Listening to others. You may need to take on the role of mediator for a family disagreement, Libra. You can often see both sides of an argument, and with Mars, Saturn, and Pluto placed in your solar 4th you can take the first step in making sure those you love can unite. Make sure that everyone communicates clearly and that each listen to what the others say. 9th-16th: Same page. Organize a family meeting to discuss plans for doing something new and different together this summer. You’ve already got them on the same page in regard to family issues, so use that advantage to get them on the same page in regard to family fun! Mars in your solar 5th on…

December 22nd to January 19th YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Social overload. You might be inundated with so many social engagements and professional opportunities that you will not be able to attend them all, Capricorn.

Make appointments for the future to fill that social gap. 9th-16th: Overtime, downtime. You will feel as if the world is your oyster, while at the same time feeling a bit overwhelmed. Don’t be surprised if you need to work overtime this week, but the good news is that once you’ve done this, you will get some well-deserved downtime.
