It takes two to make a thing go … wrong? Venus, planet of love and harmony, will be retrograde (moving backward) from May 15 through June 27. When a planet goes retrograde, its powers dim down, and things under its rulership can go a bit haywire. So with our planetary peacekeeper taking a nap, it will be up to us scrappy humans to get along on our own. You can imagine what a bang-up job we’ll do with THAT one, right?
It will take more than a few “advanced souls” to be guardians of peace, love and harmony for the next six weeks. Are you up for the job? With a conscious mind and a generous heart, each of us can offset the waves of…read the full post at MyLifetime
Where is the love? Venus turns retrograde from May 15 to June 27, creating a few ripples in the romantic pond. On the down side, some of us may have second thoughts about a relationship or begin questioning our commitments. On the plus side, this is a powerful time for plumbing the depths of intimacy. Retrogrades rule the past, so expect a text from at least one ex during this time. Fond feelings may re-emerge for the ones we left behind. It might be possible to reconcile, or at the very least, get to the point where a friendship is possible with someone we dated in the past. If you’re getting married during this inconveniently timed Venus retrograde, squeeze in a few pre-marital counseling sessions. You might have to make a practice of renewing your vows on an annual basis in the name of ensuring that they are present year after year. Make provisions for communication blips on your wedding day. There might be a few feathers to ruffle or runaway bride phobias that crop up, but if you breathe and trust your feelings, you’ll land on the right side of those nuptials.

All hands on deck! The Love Boat gets a little lost at sea this week, as Venus turns retrograde in Gemini from May 15 until June 27. Romances may go adrift temporarily or hit a rocky patch. Then again, who ever said relationships should always be smooth sailing? Navigating the choppy waters of love can be the ultimate growth experience for couples. Learning to cooperate and communicate—two of Gemini’s teachings—will be the proverbial life raft for the next six months. This retrograde could bring the breakthrough moment for some pairs, a point when you finally arrive at a deep understanding and appreciation for your differences.
Keep that couple’s counselor on speed dial if you must. It’s normal to have second thoughts about a relationship during a Venus retrograde, especially as it falls in dualistic Gemini. But acting rashly upon those destructive impulses is never a wise idea. Even if it IS time to leave a lover behind, it’s always best to exit with our integrity in tow and the “Cheaters” camera crew far, far away from your front door.
Retrogrades rule the past, so this Venus phase could bring a fleet of exes back to port. Gemini is the sign of twin flames (supersized soulmates, if you will), so if you had a missed connection with The One, it might be time to check back in and see if divine timing is on your side. Warning: this is not meant to give you false hope about a toxic love addiction. If s/he mistreated you the first time around, don’t glorify the past. You’ll just be crying SOS if you go there again.
Do you have a wedding planned during Venus retrograde? No need to rebook the chapel or go “Runaway Bride” on your boo. DO, however, schedule some extra premarital counseling sessions. You may want to create a tradition of renewing your vows on an annual basis, just to make sure you stay present to what you promised each other. Marriages that take place under Venus retrograde in Gemini might require extra communication and constant stimulation—hey, at least you won’t turn into a boring “old married couple”!
Sunday brings the first eclipse of 2012, a solar eclipse in Gemini. This is the first day that the zodiac’s Twins will rule the skies, as the sun and new moon will align at zero degrees Gemini. In the tarot deck, 0 represents The Fool card—a symbol of leaping into the unknown. Solar eclipses are all about fresh starts and new beginnings, but these openings tend to happen swiftly and out of the blue. This weekend, a sudden opportunity to partner up could arise. Complementary forces, twin flames, and perfect matches could reveal themselves in unexpected ways. Gemini is the sign of innovative genius and experimental concepts. That “Eureka!” moment could happen under the light of the eclipse. If so, get thee to the lab. You can make major strides between now and November 28, when a corresponding full moon/lunar eclipse in Gemini brings grand ideas and promising partnerships to their richest potential.

A sentimental Mother’s Day is in store this Sunday, as the moon (ruler of femininity and motherhood) meets compassionate, dreamy Neptune in its home sign of Pisces. Prepare to get emotional and nostalgic. As the ruler of film and photography, Pisces invites us for a trip down memory lane, perhaps looking through old slideshows, videos and childhood photo albums. You might even schedule a professional portrait session for the family as a gift.
Pisces, the moon and Neptune are all associated with water, so if possible, get to a lake, river or even a waterfront restaurant (perhaps at a nearby marina). Cliché as it sounds, a seafood menu wouldn’t be a bad idea with this nautical-themed astro lineup. Don’t live near water? Hey, those Cheddar Bay Biscuits at Red Lobster are kinda addictive…
Pisces is the ruler of charity, so consider making a donation on your mom’s behalf to an organization supporting women’s economic development in a developing nation, or another charity that helps moms and families. Or, if you want to get really Pisces-subversive, you could even observe No Mothers Day with supermodel and activist Christy Turlington Burns, who’s calling for the boycott of the holiday to raise awareness for women who die from pregnancy and childbirth related issues. Or you could donate to her organization, Every Mother Counts.
Aries Mom: Anything active, like workout equipment, or something fun and adventurous the two of you can do together, like concert tickets or even a weekend away. Great ideas and offers at www.girlgetaways.com
Taurus Mom: This luxury-loving mama may not spoil herself often, but she loves the finer things. Try: a basket of gourmet goodies or a tasteful piece of jewelry handmade by an artist.
Gemini Mom: Books, music, tickets, gadgets, an e-reader, a MacBook Air…anything to keep this on-the-go mama’s curious mind occupied. Because she likes to make her own choices, a gift card might be best!
Cancer Mom: Picture frames, sentimental snapshots, scented candles, gourmet ingredients, anything for the kitchen, garden or home. Framed photo of the two of you? Wins every time. Another no-fail destination for most Cancer moms: Anthropologie.
Leo Mom: A little bling goes a long way for this mama. A patterned scarf, a tribal necklace, a pretty mirror, or anything colorful for her home. (See Donna Karan’s UrbanZen.com for ideas.) A gushy card, penned from the heart, is a must.
Virgo Mom: This practical mom loves anything that simplifies her life, from the office to the home. Get her something beautiful from Williams Sonoma or check out pretty things for organizing from SeeJaneWork.com.
Libra Mom: She may be a health nut (or not), but the Libra mom has a serious sweet tooth. You can’t go wrong with a box of Godiva. Or, a box of raw chocolate truffles from Gnosis Chocolates. Don’t forget the flowers!
Scorpio Mom: This private, intensely particular mama can be tough to shop for at times. You can’t go wrong with something quietly sleek and sophisticated, like a wallet, iPhone case or clutch from Kenneth Cole, Coach or Kate Spade—in black or her favorite vibrant hue.
Sagittarius Mom: This active mama doesn’t sit still often, so get her something to make her on-the-go lifestyle more charmed than frazzled. Try: a cool laptop bag, pretty patterned luggage (in a funky color like apple green) or a new pair of shoes.
Capricorn Mom: Simple things are best for this minimalist mama, who can be a little bit of a snob in her tastes. Since she may rarely treat herself, take her out for a decadent meal or get her tickets to an exclusive event, like a film or gallery opening.
Aquarius Mom: This fun-loving mom just wants to hang, so an interactive gift that can be enjoyed by the whole clan will make her day. Make it an activity day, throw her a party, take her on a getaway full of surprises.
Pisces Mom: The Pisces mama loves soothing sensuality and serenity. Add to her calm oasis with a basket of artisinal coffee and custom-blended teas, a set of soothing world music CDs, bubble bath, or a spa certificate for a relaxing massage.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Facts and figures might not be sexy, but being powerfully aware of numbers can actually be freeing. Communication planet Mercury is in Taurus, ruler of all things practical (and the zodiac’s second house of work and money) from May 9 through May 24. This is a great time to budget, plan your finances, step on the scale and take a “just the facts” approach to your life. Mercury in Taurus takes the drama out of it. Yes indeed, A plus B does still equal C, and 2 plus 2 is 4.
This back-to-basics attitude will help you with any spring fitness plans, financial goals or efforts to improve your…read the full post at MyLifetime

Mercury grooves into Taurus, bringing an earthy sensuality to our love lives. Find creative ways to communicate: touching, tasting, feeling—we’ll need more than words to show our adoration. This is a great week to take a couple’s massage class, learn about food and wine pairings (and host a subsequent dinner party together), and have a “nature date” like a picnic, hike, or bike ride. If you’re celebrating Mother’s Day with your sweetheart, hit the road together. The sun and happy-go-lucky Jupiter sync up for the weekend, and could bring the urge to take a spontaneous journey. Hop a flight to play “meet the parents,” or if you have kids together, rally the troops for a day of sporty and adventurous fun.
