MAY 4 - MAY 10, 2008

All times/dates are PDT.

Received a few emails about missing PISCES in the April 20 column, regarding the best "hunches" for late April/early May. Unfortunately, this comes a little late, but, if it still helps, Pisces best hunches and intuitive nudges during this time (and generally for the whole year) come in spiritual, charity-related, government, organizational, healing, administrative, archival, mass production, warehousing, spa, retreat and withdrawal zones. Hope that still helps! (It might, if you examine the thoughts or impulses you had over the last couple of weeks.)

Last year, I predicted that Israel might have a nuclear strike. (In the 2007 "Year Ahead" in a paragraph about war: "Israel might show its nuclear muscle in...") Nothing seemed to happen. But on April 23, CNN reported that Israeli warplanes bombed a Syrian nuclear reactor last year, one purportedly engaged in weapons development. Sometimes you have to wait for confirmation. (And, as sometimes happens, my forecast caught the elements - nuclear and martial actions - but got them a bit backwards. That's partly because I write the Year Ahead articles in a species of shorthand or puzzle-like aphorisms, in an attempt to pack everything in. For example, in this year's (2008) forecast, I wrote that Canadian PM Stephen Harper "can do no wrong - really." (A reader emailed and wanted to know what I meant by this sentence.) Well, Harper's party offices were recently raided by the RCMP to investigate possible illegal election spending. Harper's response:
"We always follow the law... More importantly, we always follow the law as it has been interpreted. We were following it in the last election - the interpretations. If those interpretations change, though, we'll of course conform." Translation: "I do no wrong - really."("I didn't inhale - really." I didn't have sex - really.")

Jay Leno's a TAURUS - thus his thick neck, huge jaw and easy going humour. Taurus people face two decades of widening understanding, which will attract huge amounts of true, gentle, and deepening love. Many of you Taureans will find love in a foreign country, or near/within a school, courtroom, library, or while travelling. You will have your eyes opened many times, and youngsters among you (say, younger than 30) will begin to know your purpose in life, and to see and approve of society's workings. You'll begin to listen to wise and gentle people, rather than those who promise you wealth, sex, or secrets. You might, if old enough, re-establish communications with someone who meant much to you in the 1983-1996 period.

Start Nothing:
0:16 a.m. to 4:58 a.m. Sun.,
1:22 a.m. to 4:17 a.m. Tues.,
6:37 p.m. Wed. to 4:02 a.m. Thurs.,
and 5:06 p.m. Fri. to 6:10 a.m. Sat.

 


Aries - (March 21-April 19)
Chase money, buy/sell, seek lucrative clients, etc., especially Sunday/Monday, when luck, stability, and long-lasing results accompany your efforts. You might buy a luxury item in the next three weeks - better results if you do this before May 18. Short trips and talkative people are entering your days. (Tuesday/Wednesday bring the first of these.) Finish up a property, domestic or similar foundational matter Thursday/Friday, to free you for wider-ranging activities. Make one last career bid or agreement, then subside until early September. Romance, creativity, primal urges increase Friday through June!

Taurus - (April 20-May 20)
Your energy, magnetism, effectiveness and sense of timing are tops now! Even better, Venus brings you admiration until May 24 - you'll radiate your real self, your best "magic" to the opposite sex. Go forth Sunday/Monday - impress everyone! All week, start important projects, call in favors, seek agreements. This s your time to shine, to accomplish bigger things! In view of this, remember that 2008 greatly favors higher education, foreign travel, cultural events (including weddings) and media and legal success. Be careful with money Tuesday/Wednesday. Friends and short trips fill Friday/Saturday.

Gemini - (May 21-June 20)
Continue to rest, protect your health, and contemplate your future (and your past, your soul's journey). Be charitable and spiritual. You might have important dealings with the government. This is your last week to find bargains, or to increase your cash flow. It is also, thankfully, the end of a costly winter/spring run of expenses. Take a deep rest Sunday/Monday - contemplate, meditate, visit a psychic or therapist. Remember that 2008 is the gateway to new worlds - and serious, life-changing commitments. See them, plan them! Your energy rises somewhat Tuesday/Wednesday.

Cancer - (June 21-July 22)
Wishes for the future are true, vibrant, and achievable! Your willpower remains high, though it is beginning to flag, and your self-conviction will be replaced, Friday onward, with a different intensity: a pursuit of money. Still, your optimism, social happiness, flirting and joy of life doesn't ebb one whit, especially this Sunday/Monday. Have a garden party, or attend someone's. Take a breather Tuesday/Wednesday - rest, contemplate and plan. Your energy and charisma soar Thursday/Friday - start something important, attend conferences in person - you'll get your way! Saturday triggers money flows.

Leo - (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your career faces good auspices, especially Sunday/Monday. Approach VIPs, bosses and parents with proposals, requests, and pay wishes. You probably won't get far on the last, but if you're patient, your present monetary appeals could pay off in 2009-10. In any case, bosses will be tolerant, gracious, even affectionate. Your work role will "circle the past" May through August, so leave big innovative projects - and major machine purchases - for the autumn. Friday begins seven weeks of determination, heightened sex appeal, and intensified involvement with legal, intellectual or long-distance travel.

Virgo - (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your mellow mood carries with it compassion, wider understanding, intellectual, media, educational, legal, love and cultural success. These grow even sweeter and luckier now to late May. Sunday/Monday could produce a "new beginning" in one of these zones. If you're single, you might meet a seductive (and good-hearted) foreign-born person or student. Lots of activity - and news - begins now in your career sector. Focus on this Tuesday/Wednesday - avoid disruptive people, projects Wednesday. Your popularity and optimism rise powerfully Thursday/Friday. Sexual and financial desires, secrets swirl around you through June.

Libra - (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Secrets, deep desires and subconscious urges, investigation, research, commitments and consequences, lifestyle and other major changes, large finances, debts and investments - these flow through your life to late May. They're lucky, too - especially Sunday/Monday, and May 8, 13, 15, 16, and 18. (And were lucky, April 25 and 26.) The luckiest expression of these zones would be in real estate, change of or investment in a home, family investigation and therapy, and financing your children's future. Friday begins seven weeks of flirtatious socializing with a partner or viable prospect.

Scorpio - (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Exciting relationships, opportunities and new horizons fill May! But so do opposition, competition, and challenges. (Even these are fresh rather than boring!) The positive outweighs the negative - you could fall in love (halfway) and almost everyone will greet you with unexpected courtesy and affection. You'll learn secrets. Avoid chasing someone with whom sex is heady but forbidden. Join others in financial projects - but sew these up before May 26, or let them percolate untouched then to June 19. Bosses and VIPs grow temperamental to July 1 - maintain your humour!
back to top
Sagittarius - (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Piles of work face you - might as well dive in and get it done. New work could appear Sunday/Monday. It's lucky and (Monday) lucrative work, could give your prospects a boost down the road. Relationships meet stress midweek, so be diplomatic, don't push any agendas. Secrets, research, investments, finances and intimate moments meet success Thursday/Friday - be brave, commit to something! Now to July 1, you'll either be part of or witness to an ardent, "innocent" love attraction. If you're already attached, enjoy your mate's soaring thoughts and travel urges.
back to top
Capricorn - (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Romance, creativity, speculation, beauty and pleasure, vacations, joys with children lift this month, especially Sunday/Monday, when a new project might begin in one of these. You might fall in love! Knuckle down to work Tuesday/Wednesday - and practice safety rules. Relationships and exciting meetings could transport you to "unknown territory" Thursday to Saturday! Be diplomatic but eager. For the next seven weeks, your sexual nature will be aroused, with an urgency or secrecy that says: be aware and wise. Finances - the same cautious auspice. Examine a real estate deal carefully.

Aquarius-(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Keep close to home, especially Sunday/Monday. These two days (and the month in general) are excellent for property purchases, rentals, repairs, renovations, gardening, retirement planning, communing with nature, and dealing with children. It's also a good time to examine the people and projects that fill your life. Keep the fruitful ones, prune away the stale. Romance and creative projects appeal to you Tuesday/Wednesday, but they meet some barriers. Work goes well, and might lead to lucky results beyond the task, Thursday/Friday. To late June, relationships intensify. Maintain independent stance.
back to top
Pisces - (Feb. 19-March 20)
This month isn't supremely important, so stay busy but shrug off pressures/stress. You'll enjoy newspapers, news programs, friends, short trips and gossip. Let your curiosity bloom. One of these could make Sunday/Monday memorable - be social, or travel to a favourite mystery! Take care of your family, domicile, property and security interests Tuesday/Wednesday - some complications might arise. Pleasure, passion, romance, creative surges and gambling urges bless you Thursday/Friday! They're also the end of a long streak - from here into late June, work replaces fun; but it pays more than fun.
