May 27 – June 2, 2013 THE WEEK IN CHINESE ASTROLOGY

TAOIST ASTROLOGY by Susan Levitt

Highlights this week are an insightful and deep-feeling TRIPLE SNAKE day on Monday when insights are accurate, and a very fortunate Monkey day on Thursday when communication can open doors, and a lovely Earth Pig day on Sunday to share and enjoy life!

Monday May 27 is a powerful TRIPLE SNAKE day; a Water Snake day in a Fire Snake month in this Water Snake year. Communication planet Mercury blends with Jupiter for wider understanding of issues, broader comprehension, and you can easily integrate new information. You clearly see the big picture and can make good plans. The Moon blends with Pluto and squares Uranus tonight for strong emotions coupled with the desire for something new, different, or liberating. Time to shed skins of the past on this powerful day. Luck is strongest for Snake, Ox, Monkey, and Rooster (Phoenix) and during Snake hours 9 am – 11 am.

Tuesday May 28 is an exciting Wood Horse (green Horse) day that’s very lucky for love as Venus blends with Jupiter. People are optimistic, friendly, and outgoing — all pleasant Horse personality traits. The Moon trines Mars adding physical strength and stamina, courage of your conviction, and the ability to stand your ground — more Horse traits that Horse shares with best friends Tiger and Dog. Luck is strongest for Horse, Tiger, Dog, and Sheep and during Horse hours 11 am – 1 pm.

Wednesday May 29 is a harmonious Wood Sheep day when the Moon trines Sun and sextiles Uranus. Energies can flow more easily, people get along well together, and love relationships are smooth. It’s fortunate to improve your surroundings with feng shui enhancements, or try a new environment for dinner or entertainment. Plus the Uranus aspect can bring an unexpected fortunate surprise. Luck is strongest for Sheep, Rabbit, Horse, and Pig and during Sheep hours 1 pm – 3 pm.

Thursday May 30 is a very fortunate Fire Monkey (red Monkey) day when the Moon trines Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter! You are in touch with you feelings and can communicate well to others, there is a balance between emotions and intellect, and it’s good to be social and enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Communication can open doors and bring new opportunities. Today is another fortunate day for feng shui enhancements of your home and office. Luck is strongest for Monkey, Rat, Dragon, and Snake and during Monkey hours 3 pm – 5 pm.

Friday May 31 is a Fire Rooster (Phoenix) day on a waning half Moon to strive for balance. The Moon blends with Neptune for increased sensitivity and empathy, especially sensitivity to your environment.The Moon trines Saturn to be realistic, and realism and pragmatism are Rooster traits — especially the Fire Rooster who will not tolerate nonsense. The Moon makes a lucky star sextile to Pluto for profound experience, not superficial encounters, that serious Rooster appreciates. Luck is strongest for Rooster, Ox, Dragon, and Snake and during Rooster hours 5 pm – 7 pm.

Saturday June 1 is an Earth Dog (yellow Dog) day when the Sun sextiles Uranus. Today is excellent for getting things done and for paying attention to duties and responsibilities — all activities valued by the hard-working and reliable Dog. The Moon makes strong aspects to both Venus and Jupiter for increased generosity, affection, and sentiment — and Dogs can be very sentimental! Luck is strongest for the Dog, Rabbit, Tiger, and Horse and during Dog hours 7 pm – 9 pm.

Sunday June 2 is an Earth Pig day for lots of action! The Moon blends with Uranus to be a bit impulsive, impatient, and definitely want something different. Under Pig’s influence, now is a good time for a culinary adventure. The Moon sextiles Sun and Mars to get a long well with people, and relationships are good without too much fighting or bickering. But the Moon squares Mercury and Pluto for miscommunication so lighten up and enjoy life today instead of analyzing choices or trying to solve all the problems in the universe. Luck is strongest for Pig, Tiger, Rabbit, and Sheep and during Pig hours 9 pm – 11 pm.

Have a great week!

Love,

Susan
