This week’s forecast will begin Wednesday when Mercury, the planet of communication and the details of daily life at 4? Aries, will trine Saturn, the planet of restriction at 4? Leo. The energy expressed from this trine of Mercury with Saturn will have your thoughts on serious and important concerns all day. Today you must deal with practical matters and the details that come with planning and organizing your life. Under this influence, you are able to focus and concentrate on mental work that requires great attention to detail. You will not be very interested in abstract ideas today. You will want to know what practical purpose everything serves, and what ‘s in it for you. Today is a great time to talk to your grandparent or to an older person you respect, because the knowledge and experience they can pass on to you today will help you refocus your life for a more practical purpose.

On Thursday morning, Venus, the planet of personal relationships and artistic expression at 16? Pisces will trine Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion at 16? Scorpio. The energy expressed from this trine of Venus with Jupiter will bring grace, ease and pleasant social interaction into your life. Today you may not feel like doing anything but laying around, being lazy and self-indulgent, content with your own good spirits. But that would be such a waste because this transit provides a favorable influence for all social and personal interaction. Today you could meet someone who will be of great service to you later. Today’s influences are also great for financial interests and investments into fine art. Just make sure you can afford your desire to self-indulge. Venus’ transit through Pisces helps you transmute your compassion into sacrificial service. Jupiter’s transit through the sign Scorpio produces strong desires to expand the awareness of your psychic forces. The influences of Venus and Jupiter in these psychic water signs will expand your consciousness to generate and redirect Kundalini energy.

Also on Thursday, the Sun enters into the constellation of Taurus. I would like to wish all those Taureans out there a happy Earthday. It’s your time to shine in the re-birthing light of the Sun. Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac, ruled by the artistic and social planet Venus. The energy of this fixed Earth sign relates to your value system. People born in this sign have a constitutional need for security. They seek stability in such firm foundations as a conventional family life, a steady job, or a sustained occupation. Taureans are generally content with simple pleasure of life, such as good food, a comfortable home, and a satisfying sexual relationship. Taureans are really sexual in the expression of their desires for companionship. Both sexes tend to be physically attractive and are often admired for their pleasing voices. Taureans relish comfort, but they seldom seek luxury for the sake of display as Leonians tend to do. They want to feel that the objects accumulated are of personal worth and of practical as well as sentimental value. Whatever the occupation, Taureans are slow, steady and reliable at their work. They take pride in producing high quality products.

On the negative side, Taurean conservatism can deteriorate into selfish materialism. The low-grade Taurean can be the most materialistic of all Zodiacal types, bartering their souls for money, sex and comfort. Those who have attained physical control over their desires are endowed with robust constitutions, magnetic attractiveness, and the power to heal. My Grandmother was a Taurus and she had the power to heal. Big Mamma was the community healer. I will share with you some history. Back in the segregated South, where I grew up, there were not too many black doctors, and most of the white doctors wouldn’t take black patients. So the community medical care and treatments were taken care of by the local healer, which was Big Mamma, my Grandmother. She had the knowledge of herbs and roots along with the power of touch. Those days were poor times for black people, but Big Mamma, a Taurus, always had money, when so many others had none. She used that money and turned it into power to control the lives of her family and the community. She let her high values of love deteriorate into materialism and control. She died a lonely death holding on to the physical Earth. Taurus, you have the power to construct heaven on Earth for all of life to enjoy. Love is the treasure that will always hold its value for life.

Have a great week and stay free.
