May 8 2016 Weekly Sun Scope Horoscope We Live by the Sun

General for Week Commencing: Monday 09 May 2016

Aries Monday 09 May 2016  Mar 21 - Apr 19 There are some fairly big developments this week, but the two major developments take place on Tuesday, not just on the same day but simultaneously. It’s during Tuesday’s Mercury eclipse in your income sector that Jupiter turns direct in your work sector, ending an 11 day period where the doors have been open to the past, second chances and untapped potential across the income, work and career fronts at the same time. While this sees the tide turn on the income front, creating the potential for growth over the coming months, the doors to the past will remain open on the income front for another two weeks and on the career front until September. This puts the focus on income, work and career matters this week, but there is also a need to keep the spirit of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure alive, remembering that life can’t be all work and no play.      Taurus Monday 09 May 2016  Apr 20 - May 20 While the weekend’s New Moon brought you to a point in your birthday month where you’re able to make a commitment to this new solar year, the future and the journey ahead, this year the gods have left the back door open, leaving the doors open to the past, second chances and untapped potential. It’s on Tuesday that the Sun, helping you move into the future and the journey ahead not only aligns with but is crossed by Mercury, creating a rare Mercury eclipse. With Mercury in retrograde motion this is the point where the past, present and future come together with stunning clarity, all at once revealing where you’ve been and where to from here. As the fog of war clears you might wonder why you didn’t appreciate the things you’re now noticing, but they weren’t visible before. You’re waking up to the fact that there is more to life than simply going through the motions.      Gemini Monday 09 May 2016  May 21 - Jun 21 With the Sun returning to Gemini later next week to begin your birthday month and new solar year, there is a lot of focus this week on both closing old doors and looking to the future. You’ve reached the business end of the month long wind down of your old solar year, a point where you’re not only looking within and back but you’re starting to look to the future and what it might hold. It’s as the fog clears and you get a clear sense of where you've been and where to from here that Jupiter’s direct turn on Tuesday brings us to a major turning point in the year itself. It’s the things close to home or simply the daily rituals of your life that will experience the greatest shift, looking to the future and what it might hold. This is what gives the wind down of your old solar year the hurry up, all of a sudden getting excited about the journey ahead.      Cancer Monday 09 May 2016  Jun 22 - Jul 22 Planetary confluence that has been supporting personal and professional friendship and relationship building continues to hold strong this week, though the tide starts to turn and the focus begins to not so much shift from the past, but to start to lean more towards the future. Monday is the last full day of an 11 day alliance between communication, relationship and friendship forces where planets on all three fronts are in retrograde motion at the same time, holding the door open to the past and second chances, especially when it comes to giving the past and unsaid words a voice. Yet while Jupiter’s direct turn in your communication sector on Tuesday shifts a lot of the communication focus onto the future with Mercury, planet of communication staying in retrograde motion for another two weeks the communication lines will still run into the past.      Leo Monday 09 May 2016  Jul 23 - Aug 22 Despite the fact that an 11 day period where the doors are open to the past, second chances and untapped potential across the income, work and career fronts at the same time will run its course on Tuesday, the strong partnership between the professional and money gods will remain. After the weekend’s New Moon in your career sector there is a tailwind at your back that supports all new professional developments, yet with Mercury spending another two weeks in retrograde motion, the back door will remain open. In the meantime, Jupiter’s direct turn in your income sector on Tuesday not only turns the tide on the income front but on the year itself. While the doors will remain open to the past on the work and career fronts even there this is more about ensuring no stone has been left unturned, as the year itself begins to lean more towards the future than the past.      Virgo Monday 09 May 2016  Aug 23 - Sep 22 In a week where personal, playful and adventurous forces dominate, there is a need to pay attention to the Moon’s position in your career sector in the early days of the week. Moving into the week with the Moon here means your professional instincts are sharp from the get go, but also that there may be some work/life balance tension to contend with. With the Moon leaving on Tuesday this would be easy to brush aside, but with the Sun returning to your career sector later next week, this is both a practice run for that and the Full Moon in its early days. However, don’t let that take away from the fact that on the personal front you reach a major turning point with Jupiter’s direct turn in Virgo on Tuesday. This is when both your personal focus and the year itself begins leaning more towards the future than the past.      Libra Monday 09 May 2016  Sep 23 - Oct 23 The weekend’s New Moon in your financial sector brought you to what is normally the most important point in the Sun’s month long visit, a point in your annual financial review where you’re able to draw a line in the sand, making a commitment to your financial resolutions and the coming year. However, there is a need to keep your mind and your options open, not only because with Mercury in retrograde motion for another two weeks there’s a need to measure twice and cut once. With a Mercury eclipse on Tuesday the money gods are likely to play a few wildcards, which have the potential to change the way you look at money matters. Tuesday also represents a major turning point in the yearlong wind down of a 12 year Jupiter cycle. As Jupiter turns direct on Tuesday this is when the focus shifts from closing old doors to preparing for the future and the major new life chapter ahead.      Scorpio Monday 09 May 2016  Oct 24 - Nov 21 The focus is always going to be on relationship matters at this time of year, with the Sun always spending the first three weeks of May in your relationship sector, but not to the degree that it is this week. After the weekend’s New Moon there is a chance to commit to your relationships, the future and the journey ahead, but the past isn’t ready to let go. With Mercury spending another two weeks in your relationship sector the doors are open to the past, second chances and untapped potential, but more importantly to a chance to give the past and unsaid words a voice. The Sun and Mercury will cross paths to form Tuesday’s rare Mercury eclipse, which could bring your relationships to a turning point or even manifest a major breakthrough. Throughout the week there are two planets solely dedicated to giving your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.      Sagittarius Monday 09 May 2016  Nov 22 - Dec 21 The money and professional gods come together to create a week that is outside the box, relegating the weekend’s New Moon in your work sector to a fairly mundane event. The New Moon will always fall at some point during the Sun’s month long visit to your work sector and is always an opportunity for new beginnings and a fresh start, able to draw a new line in the sand. However, as this happens once a year it doesn’t fall into the same category as this week’s event, with Jupiter turning direct in your career sector during Tuesday’s rare Mercury eclipse, the first in your work sector in 13 years and the last for another 33 years. As Jupiter not only brings you to a major turning point in your professional year but in the year itself, the professional gods come together to create the potential for a real breakthrough. Where the professional tides turn expect the money to follow.      Capricorn Monday 09 May 2016  Dec 22 - Jan 19 In the scheme of things the Moon’s position in your work sector in the early days of the week isn’t a problem, with playful and adventurous forces too strong to create any danger of life becoming all work and no play. However, while the Moon, gone by Tuesday, isn’t here long enough to create any real threat, with the Sun returning to your work sector later next week that’s a different story, making it important to both keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground and stay alert to any balance issues. While you have until the end of next week before the busiest weeks of 2016, you have been put on notice and more importantly playful and adventurous forces will recognise the threat and will already start rebelling against it. This is partly caused by Jupiter’s direct turn on Tuesday, beginning his trek back towards your career sector, for the first time in 12 years.      Aquarius Monday 09 May 2016  Jan 20 - Feb 18 In a week where there is a huge amount of focus on both home and financial matters, the Moon is flying an undercover mission that is more important than it might suggest at the time. The week begins with the Moon in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart and while leaving on Tuesday this might be seen as a short term distraction, with the Sun returning later next week this is a practice run. At the same time the Moon’s return to your work sector midweek, for the last time before Mars retrogrades back into your career sector later in the month, will provide clues to the professional twists ahead. By the time you reach the weekend the Moon will have delivered news of both playful and busy times ahead and as they’ll overlap, the importance of having the right balance between work and play.      Pisces Monday 09 May 2016  Feb 19 - Mar 20 Considering the challenges you and your relationships have been through this year, this is the week where it’s all likely to make sense, with the penny dropping as you appreciate what a blessing this has been. Jupiter’s four months in retrograde motion in your relationship sector have been mired by challenges and oppositions and this has brought up a lot of old issues, with his direct turn on Tuesday creating not just a major turning point for your relationships, but for the year itself. Yet more important than Jupiter turning direct in your relationship sector is when he turns direct, which is right in the middle of Tuesday’s rare Mercury eclipse in your communication sector. With Mercury and Venus on board and the doors open to both new opportunities and second chances, this creates the potential for a communication and/or relationship breakthrough or turnaround.
