Skywatch For The Week Of May 17-24, 2013

482

By Flo Higgins
From Friday, May 17 to Monday, May 20 in the late afternoon, those celebrating their birthdays are known as Taurus, but because they are so close to the cusp of Gemini they will have many of that sign’s traits.
This air sign is a born communicator and so they are extremely good at telling tales, writing books or traveling the world.
A Gemini is never at a loss for words, so they naturally love to talk. You can always tell a Gemini in a crowd. Just look for someone telling long and exciting tales of travel, books or love.
Gemini is known as the “Butterfly of the Zodiac” because of their ability to bounce from one situation to another. This makes them quick thinkers who become bored very easily. To have a good friend who is a Gemini you must want to hear tales or join them in their adventures.
Certainly one of the outstanding traits of a Gemini nature is their sense of humor. They find fun in almost anything and really enjoy a good laugh. And the stories they tell are often beyond description. They are certainly the best storytellers ever.
Tiny Fey the well-known television writer and star is a deluxe example of a Gemini. Her sense of comedy and writing has made her a very successful woman in the entertainment world.
 
People born this week: Grace Jones, May 17, 1952; Tina Fey, May 18, 1970; Malcom X, May 19, 1925; Cher, May 20, 1946; Mr. T, May 21, 1952; Apollo Anton Ohno, May 22, 1982; Douglas Fairbanks, May 23, 1883; Bob Dylan, May 24, 1941.
 
The next lunar eclipse will happen on Saturday, May 25, at 4 degrees of Sagittarius during the full moon. You can be sure we will start feeling the influence by midweek on Wednesday, May 22. Also, Gemini people should look for some excitement in the next month because Mars, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter will all be in Gemini offering you an open door to new and bigger opportunities.
 
Aries (March 21 to April 20) The lunar eclipse on May 25 offers you a golden opportunity to look around and decide on a new direction. Even if you decide to make minor changes it is an important time in your life. So look for a new direction that will allow you to take advantage of some of the talents you ignored in the past.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Take a good look at your present goals and see if you have them in the proper order to bring you success. It is time to collect some of your ideas and roll them out into the light. A new face in your crowd could become important in your life. So keep that in mind and be kind to everyone. It is time to let go of some past issues.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) You want to spend more money then you have to make more. And this is the time to go after what you want. You can move slowly, but try to move in the direction you really want to go into. Just look around and decide what direction would be best for you. An old pal could help you make some moves. Just ask.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) We are headed into a full moon period and emotions will run high. That is a wide-eyed warning to hold the emotions in check and, if you can’t, then spend some time alone. Otherwise you will once again be in the middle of a drama you don’t need. An old friend could help you stay calm now. On the face of things, you are fine.
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) Uranus is making great aspects to your sun offering you every chance to move yourself forward both at home and work. Get some pals together and celebrate your good fortune. If you are unaware of the good then it is time to slow down and discover what is really going on in your life. You are missing a few things.
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) Any frustrations you may be dealing with now will solve themselves if you just let go. Just check your attitude on a daily basis and make sure you stay positive. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade. Life will soon be better than ever and the new companion will turn up in your life.
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) If one of your latest ideas didn’t result in the victory you expected, don’t give up. It is merely a test of patience and faith. You are well on the way to a successful venture, but only if you keep working toward that result. A good pal could be of long-lasting help to you. It is time to move forward.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) At least one of the issues you have been dealing with is coming to a close. You will be the winner. So do not feel anything but success around you. Above all, do not get caught up in your successful deals and forget the main object of all your work, which is healing your wounds. It is payoff time for you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) The next lunar eclipse on May 25 will be in Sagittarius and should bring you some positive relief concerning the future. The heavenly vibes are all about to bring you a great prize in the love department so don’t forget to say thank you. You are starting your new journey.
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) It is the perfect time to pull your dreams together and start the big push. You are undergoing a social and financial transformation. With that idea in mind, don’t let anyone get in your way. If you do you will be one sorry Capricorn. Your life is about to turn around and pay off.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) You will have a totally new view of your long-term goals if you think of the things that happened this week. You must remember when one door closes another opens. Keep that in mind and you can expect big things to come your way. Of course you must do some of the work.
Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 21) As you become more and more creative you will find the feeling of deception will disappear. So look for new ideas and schemes that offer you an opportunity to use your talents. In that way you will use the Neptune energy in a positive and rewarding way. Stay away from losers who want to use you.
