May & June in Bloom!

Your May & June Astrological Forecast Below

Hey Friends!

I just want to share some good news with you — my friend and colleague Danielle Blackwood and I have enjoyed some recent successes. We hosted a “Women’s Mysteries and the Astrology of the Moon” workshop in January at Banyan Books. We also led another “Astrology 101” class at Kitsilano Community Center in February, and most recently an we did a “Astrology 101 Lunch and Learn” at the law firm of Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP in April.

We’ve also had some requests to lead a woman’s group – if this is something that interests you, drop me a line!

ALL SIGNS
As spring gives way to summer and the Sun moves through Taurus and Gemini we’re feeling more inspired. Longer daylight hours allow us more opportunities to explore creative pursuits and intellectual fancies. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter all line up in lively Gemini increasing our sense of curiosity and our need to connect and communicate with others. We can easily plough through our to-do lists and get our errands done. It’s time to make hay while the sun shines! Playful banter with family, friends and neighbors keep our spirits up. We want more from our communities and we’re ready to step up to the plate.
ARIES  The world seems to zig when you’re ready zag, Aries. Life may be a bit unpredictable right now. Even though you might not get your way as soon as you want it, you can have some fun! Buckle up and get ready for an interesting season ahead. Opportunities from friends, family members, as well as unexpected sources are best grabbed fast – hey you’re good at thinking on your toes! Job offers and contracts might come your way, so much so you need to hire more help, or delegate. Spending on education and training, or business equipment and brand building is highly likely now. Travel with siblings or to see relatives and extended family offer some bright memories to be made.

The intuitive-philosopher in you is coming forth now, and you’ll find you’re more at peace with the changes the last year has brought you. Old belief systems that no longer work for you are simply lifting now. It’s a good thing.
