WEEKLY REVIEW BY PHASES OF THE MOON
7 May: Full Moon in Scorpio
“There is a new focus and thrust, and you are assured of success in your ventures. Work increases and you have no time to party; even the weekend meetings with friends and loved ones will be taken up by work pressures. This is a really favourable phase in which you make rapid progress. There is expansion in several spheres work-wise, and a lot of money needs to be invested. But this is definitely money well spent because you will earn the dividends later on. There will also be more time for the family and, in the future, for the frivolities of life; but this is the time to get down to hard, sustained work. Opportunity knocks rarely, and it is knocking now. Grab the moment, says Ganesha, and success is yours for the asking.”
14 May: Moon’s Last Quarter in Aquarius
“Work is progressing well and there is also travel thrown in. You are determined to sustain the growth that you have achieved and to even up the tempo. You grow as a person and earn the respect and admiration of your peers. I must add here that in life one always loses a bit when one gains something else and there is no escape from this cardinal principle. Which is why it is necessary to know what you really want from life? Right now, you are on work phase and you are losing out on quality time with family and friends which irks you. But great achievements are possible only with hard work, dedication and sacrifice, and you are willing to enter the slog over with a broad bat. Loved ones understand and appreciate your efforts and aren’t quibbling or cribbing about the lack of time. So you don’t need to feel guilty about it either.”
22 May: New Moon in Gemini
“The work phase is in full swing and you are making waves. There is intensity in whatever you do and the stage seems set for passion. Love enters your life and sets it like a wick in a haystack. A new relationship has your heart racing but you are caught in it, and are helpless. Without a doubt, you are overextending yourself. There are possibilities of a burnout and ill health but you are pulled to the flame like a moth. You know that it could be ruinous but you are unable to steer the direction of your life to safer areas. There is danger here. Everything that you have recently achieved may just blow up in your face. But this is life and we need the scars sometimes to remind us later of the recklessness of youth, or even if one is not so youthful, of the dangers of unhinged passion.”
30 May: Moon’s First Quarter in Virgo
“Thankfully, you slow down a bit now and make the correct decisions. There is more sanity in your dealings and you stretch to meet more people. There are partnerships, collaborations and tie-ups at work. You show interest in higher studies, spirituality and faith. You turn to religion and look for answers. You look for a grip on life and spend time with family and friends. It is a welcome break from the smouldering intensity of the last week.”
