Welcome to STARPATHZ.
May news
Greetings to all. My home phone number has been changed due to my move to Belmont, CA. That number is 650-394-4067, my mailing address will stay the same as that is a mail box. It was wonderful to be back East during Spring, I enjoyed the Spring flowers and getting to meet with all my friends and clients. I must say I'm certainly glad to get all my belongings out of storage, it's like Christmas!
I'm off to the United Astrologer's Congress in Denver next week which is held every 3 years and can't wait. Just imagine a hotel full of people talking nothing but astrology... love it! I will be taking appointments in person while there but will only be offering evening phone sessions from May 14-21. After which I'll return to normal hours on May 22, beginning 9 AM PT (noon ET).
My next trip planned back to the East Coast is in mid to late August, if you wish to book an in-person session please contact the venues directly. If you want to host a house/office party please contact me directly. I'm currently having trouble with my internet service so if you don't hear back from me please give me a call at 650-394-4067.
There are still some copies of the 10th Annual Predictions 2008 CD's available, If you didn't get to attend my annual lecture here's your opportunity to hear the material I shared regarding the financial & real estate markets, weather patterns, new and growing job markets and the upcoming presidential election heralding in a major political shift (CD 1). CD 2 holds a bit of astrological information for each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac regarding love, money & career.
Peace and Light

May
The new moon fell on May 5 at 15 Taurus, making the following two weeks a great time to watch the moon grow full in the evening sky. The two weeks following a new moon are always a good time to plan activities ‘ in sync’ with the nature of the new moon, in this case earthy Taurus. Taurus governs all material & practical matters especially financial and all concerns of the earth and environment, like gardening. 2008 is a good year to start a small garden which can supply vegetables and ease the cost of buying food. As I predicted in the 2008 Predictions lecture, food has certainly become an issue and will continue to be a growing concern for the average family. If you haven’t found a local organic farm and bought shares, now would be a good idea to get that started as I see shortages continuing to escalate prices. Taking action now will lead you to feeling more secure later. Being fearful about the economy or real estate market will not be helpful now, just remember everything that’s happening now has happened before and will probably happen again. Life moves in cycles, what goes up, comes down and goes up again.
On a more positive note, those of you being proactive with clearing debt and establishing practical budgets will begin to feel more and more empowered. Changes that are instituted in the fixed sign of Taurus are apt to be ones that last... so this is a great time for establishing a new fitness or dietary regime. Work with color this month to beautify and enhance your environment.
May 9 through July 1 Mars transits through fiery Leo, making this window of time great for taking independent action to further one’s goals. Leo’s are known for their straight forward, bold if not risk taking nature, so take advantage of these cosmic attributes at least before Mercury goes retrograde on May 26th. With the planet of energy & action in a fire sign for the next 2 months people and social interactions will be lighter and more fun. It will turn up the heat for romance and indicates more ardor in relationships. What a great time to get away on vacation with a loved one or go on vacation to find one!
May 19th the full moon at 29 Scorpio squares both Neptune & Saturn forming an out of sign grand cross in the sky. The following 2 weeks will likely reveal situations or issues that require a dose of Saturn (practicality) as an antidote to Neptunian illusions & excesses on both a personal & national level. With Pluto and Saturn both in earth signs and making a trine ( ease, flow) to each other, many of you might be feeling the urge to create a simpler, back to basics type of lifestyle. 2008 is a great year to start making the changes required to accomplish that transition.
Mercury goes retrograde (rx) on 5/26 through June 19th in the air sign Gemini. ME rx in an air sign usually creates problems in communications, computers(back up your files), reservations & travel connections. In general it’s not the best time for making commitments because there will be a tendency to change your mind after ME goes direct. ME rx time window is best used for resolving old issues, making corrections, resuming stalled negotiations and revisiting travel destinations. If you want to initiate new projects and take advantage of Mars in Leo do it before 5/26 or wait until after 6/19. One exception to this seems to be for those people born with ME rx in their natal chart who can find the rx windows very productive time periods.
One interesting dynamic of the ME rx in 2008 is that each time this tiny planet appears to change direction ( because the RX motion is just apparent as viewed from the Earth it doesn’t actually move backwards), I believe there will be a shift in public opinion regarding the candidates for the presidential election. As discussed in January this race will go right down to the wire. Saturn and Uranus form an opposition on the day of the election so this indicates a wildcard influence. When voters go to the polls they’ll be in a rebellious mood! Have a wonderful Spring!
