Return to Old Ideas

05/04/2009 - 05/10/2009

Mercury turns retrograde on May 6, returning you to conversations and ideas that are incomplete and in need of review. The full Moon in Scorpio on May 8 will intensify your emotions. You are unlikely to feel lukewarm about anything! Make sure you are thoughtful when expressing your point of view.

May 6: Mercury turns retrograde

It's time for a thorough review as Mercury turns retrograde in its own sign, Gemini. All of the normal rules apply: don't sign contracts; do not buy products that are communication-related, such as phones, mp3 players, and computers. The same goes for anything travel-related, such as cars and plane tickets. That said -- life doesn't always cooperate with Mercury retrograde periods! So if you must sign a contract, build in escape clauses; safeguard the receipts for products bought and double-check reservations. Most importantly, go back to conversations and ideas that you did not fully explore.

May 8: Full Moon in Scorpio

Full Moons are known for being a time of heightened emotion, and when in a sign as passionate as Scorpio, you're likely to feel strongly about everything! The new Moon in Taurus last month on April 24 prompted you to get a financial plan together and to build more material security into your life. Now, at this time of culmination with the Sun and Moon in opposition, you have a chance to stand back and assess how far you've come. Use the power of this Moon to put finishing touches on your plans.
