MOVEMENTS OF THE SUN & PLANETS IN DATE ORDER:

FROM 03 APRIL 2012 VENUS INTO GEMINI

The companionable planet Venus in the communicative sign of Gemini is helpful to all forms of socialising and networking. While this energy is great for getting creative ideas across, it's better to keep your delivery light and quick. If you come across as too intense, deep or complicated, interest in what you have to say is likely to wane. Take the same fun, light approach to your social life. This is not the time to be either boring or bored!

FROM 10 APRIL UNTIL 18 SEPTEMBER 2012 PLUTO MOVES RETROGRADE

Pluto continues to work to transform authority structures in society. Since it moved into Capricorn in 2008, we have seen obvious instances in the powerful financial, business, political and religious sectors which demonstrate the problems that arise when authority does not take responsibility for its own failings. These are heavy lessons, and those who must learn them tend to resist the process but Pluto will insist that those who raise themselves to powerful positions must be answerable for their actions. While Pluto is retrograde, it offers empowerment to the seemingly meeker and weaker sections of society as they need to be pushed into standing up from themselves rather than kow-towing to those who claim to be the Rulers of society. Go to Pluto in Capricorn

FROM 19 APRIL UNTIL 20 MAY 2012 SUN INTO TAURUS

The Taurus season is probably the richest and most sumptuous of the year. Nature has settled into her cycles and patterns of growth and harvest have been established in both hemispheres. Use the energy of Taurus to relish the natural beauties of life and to enjoy its physical pleasures. Try to stand firm against any stresses and strains that seem to threaten you. Picture yourself as a splendid white bull with huge golden horns, sparkling eyes and flaming nostrils. Turn to your problems and let out a throaty "Moooooooo". Watch them scuttle away - you're stronger by far than they are!

21 APRIL 2012 NEW MOON IN TAURUS TO 06 MAY FULL MOON IN SCORPIO

This is a good time to begin living in a simpler, more natural way. Use the period from now to the full Moon on 06 May to think about what you really need in order to enjoy a comfortable yet stress-free lifestyle. Try to do without status symbols and services that only add to your worries and your overheads. Turn to your own talents and resources before you rely on others to fulfil your needs. Then, on 06 MAY 2012, with the FULL MOON IN SCORPIO the potential is an awakening of your true personal power. Once you are aware of how resourceful and talented you really are, you become less dependent and needy. You realise you are far stronger than you thought you were and this protects you. You're ready to face Life's challenges without feeling so frightened, powerless or overwhelmed. You're in charge of your own destiny.

FROM 09-24 MAY 2012 MERCURY INTO TAURUS

Mercury in Taurus offers a calm, creative energy which is excellent for artists of all kinds. No matter your talent, Mercury in Taurus can help you to express it. The most important thing is not to rush. Let your ideas come at their own pace and give yourself time to due them justice. Enjoy the process of exploring and expressing your talents and abilities! I think of Mercury in Taurus as someone preparing to entertain valued family and friends. Their enjoyment in planning, preparing and producing the event surpasses the enjoyment of participating in the actual celebration.

FROM 15 MAY UNTIL 27 JUNE 2012 VENUS MOVES RETROGRADE

Venus, planet of reconciliation, turns retrograde in Gemini - the sign of communication. Between now and 27 June, watch out for words that might not stand the test of time. They may charm but their meaning is only skin deep. Don't let yourself be sweet-talked into anything. This would be true in relationships and also in matters related to your personal, material and financial resources.

FROM 20 MAY UNTIL 20 JUNE 2012 SUN INTO GEMINI

Use the energy of Sun in Gemini to get back in touch with the Early Learner in you. Take up some form of light-hearted study, join the local library, seek out discussion groups in your community. As Gemini is the sign of the Twins, this is a great time for twosomes although such relationships should stay carefree and centred around shared interests. The company of youthful and young-at-heart people is particularly enjoyable while the Sun is in this sign. This is a good time of year to plan a city break. Go somewhere where there is plenty to see and do. It's a time to let your curiosity get the better of you - you're looking for variety rather than intense experiences.

20 MAY 2012 NEW MOON IN GEMINI & ANNULAR ECLIPSE OF THE SUN

Following the Sun moving into Gemini, the themes of youthfulness and curiosity continue with this New Moon. Use its light n' fast energy to give you a new lease of life. "Seek, and you will find" says the New Moon, which forms an annular eclipse of the Sun. The Moon's dark circle is surrounded by a ring of firey light suggesting that, even where a lack of knowledge exists, it is surrounded by enlightenment. We are born curious and our natural curiosity keeps us seeking for knowledge that is still hidden from us. It is curiosity which drives us out of the dark and into the light.

FROM 24 MAY UNTIL 07 JUNE 2012 MERCURY INTO GEMINI

Mercury, planet of communication, feels completely at home in Gemini, which is the sign of communication. While the energy it creates is very helpful to all forms of communication, it can create information overload and we could all be feeling like My Fair Lady when she sings "words, words, words, I'm so sick of words!" A good way to use Mercury in Gemini is to develop a talent for scanning so that you skim through large amounts of information without getting over involved in it. Although you are using your conscious mind to skim across the surface of your material, you are also trusting your creative mind to signal when it has picked out something that you really need to notice. In an age when we are bombarded with information, intelligent scanning can be a very useful tool. The more you practice it, the more proficient you become.

SINCE JUNE 2011 OPPORTUNITY-RICH JUPITER HAS BEEN IN TALENTED YET MATERIALISTIC TAURUS

It's important to celebrate the true riches of life. Although material wealth brings us comfort, it's the simple things that tend to give the most pleasure. Use the energy of Jupiter in Taurus to explore your individual talents and abilities and discover as much as you can about what you are truly capable of. Expressing the potential you were born with can bring untold pleasure and happiness.

11 JUNE 2012 TO JUNE 2013 JUPITER MOVES INTO COMMUNICATIVE GEMINI

Jupiter will remain in Gemini for the next 12 months, giving you the opportunity to expand your communication skills. Take any chance you get to add to your supplies of knowledge and information, and to improve your ability to impart that knowledge to others. You’ll be making an investment in your future success. This is also a good time to master the technique of networking within your local community, or with communities who share common interests with you. Short journeys are highlighted while Jupiter is in Gemini, so you may not need to go so far afield to find the results you seek.

OCTOBER 2009-OCTOBER 2012: GOAL-SETTING SATURN IS IN THE ZODIAC SIGN OF LIBRA

It's time for us to balance and evaluate who we are and what we are doing with our lives. Does our comfort depend on someone else's deprivation? Are we taking too much and leaving others with too little? Is the way we live just and fair, or just plain selfish?

FROM 07 FEBRUARY UNTIL 25 JUNE 2012: SATURN MOVES RETROGRADE IN THE ZODIAC SIGN OF LIBRA

Use Saturn's retrospective energy to:

1. Go back over any lessons to be learned from your relationships with others. There's no need to judge either yourself or your partners, just evaluate experience gained.

2. Revise your ability to recognise your talents and abilities and work on removing any inhibitions you have in owning them. Then you can move to manifest their potential!

MARCH 2011-MARCH 2019: URANUS MOVED INTO ARIES

Revolutionary Uranus is behind the current global trend for ordinary people to demand freedom from oppressive power abusers. It also underpins the formation of social networking sites on the internet which is the means by which individuals have been able to boost their effectiveness by linking with fellow freedom fighters and sympathisers. These rapidly forming social groups are a foretaste of true democracy. They are already forcing change in all the major power systems of the world: political, religious, business and financial. They will eventually bring about a world without hierarchies where those who govern are 100% responsible for and answerable to those they serve.

FEBRUARY 2012-JANUARY 2026: NEPTUNE MOVED INTO PISCES

Thanks to the internet and its social network systems (which developed over the period 1998-2012 while Neptune was in the technological sign of Aquarius) the message of Hope begins to flow among us, spreading its gospel of inspiration. We will finally free ourselves from manipulation by a system in which the few control the many through the use of fear and dread. Gradually we will begin to understand that, in reality, we have total control over our own ideas and therefore over our own lives. We are already learning to unlock the power of our imagination and change the state of our minds through the use of self-belief, positive thoughts and imagery. We’re fast reaching the stage where it becomes second nature to turn to ourselves for inspiration rather than to overpowering gurus and priests. Like the song says “If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it ... If I just spread my wings, I can fly”.

SINCE IT MOVED INTO CAPRICORN IN 2008, PLUTO HAS BEEN WORKING TO TRANSFORM AUTHORITY STRUCTURES IN SOCIETY AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL JANUARY 2025

Pluto represents power and Capricorn represents structures in society and perhaps the most powerful structure of all is that of Money. When Pluto first moved into Capricorn in 2008, the cracks began to appear in a system that had been abused to the limit by greed. Wars, famine, oppression, ecological disasters and climate change are all a reflection of our collective guilt about just how greedy we’ve become. We know it shouldn’t be like this and we all want it to change. But how to stop being addicted to our social climbing - our petrol-guzzling jeeps, 2 showers a day, seasonal wardrobe changes and overflowing supermarket shelves? The answer is to transform our aspirations so they are directed by need rather than greed. Do we all need comfortable, creative, secure lives? Yes. Do any of us need to be billionaires with 20 homes and a fleet of luxury yachts? No. If I live to see 2025 when Pluto moves out of Capricorn, I’ll be expecting a very different kind of world regime, and I’m hoping it will no longer revolve around greed. To quote another favourite song: “It's been a long, a long time coming, but ... a change gonna come” and Pluto says “oh yes it will!” Amen.
