Talk is cheap…unless you’re willing to put your money where your mouth is. With communication planet Mercury shifting into Taurus until May 24, the time has come to back up words with action. What will it take to pull off our elaborate ideas? This Mercury phase helps us spec out the deets: timelines, budgets, schedules, people power, and any other resources required to turn our dreams into a tangible reality. Although Mercury in Taurus loves luxury, it hates waste. Strip away the bling and get back to basics. A simple, affordable plan will work best now, and might even help us make a stronger impression on the world.

This Mercury spell can serve as an economic stimulus plan, so harness its powers with conversations about making money. Mercury is a clever, creative opportunist. So what if a position isn’t listed on the job boards? We might see the niche for ourselves and write our own job descriptions to present to a prospective employer. Don’t be afraid to take these types of initiatives. How about the cash we owe? Cleaning up monetary messes might be a drag, but Mercury helps us parse through the paperwork and make sure we aren’t living beyond our means. Taurus is an earth sign, so this is also a great time to reduce our carbon footprints and use natural resources responsibly.

Saturday’s skies are lit by a quarter moon in Aquarius. This is the halfway point between the full moon (supermoon) in Scorpio this past May 5 and the forthcoming new moon (solar eclipse) in Gemini on May 20. Those are some pretty powerful lunar events, and this Aquarius moon is an important balancing point. Since Aquarius rules groups and teams, it’s important to check in with our crews to make sure everyone is on the same page. Open the channels of communication and make sure everything is fair and democratic. Otherwise, these alliances can devolve into petty in-fighting, jealousy, and gossip. Getting the support of an organization can help us stay balanced. Aquarius is the humanitarian of the zodiac, so adding a charitable element to any ventures can help them soar.

Sunday is Mother’s Day. With the Sun and Jupiter side-by-side in Taurus, this year is all about big bold expressions of love and appreciation. Pool funds with family members and spring for an elegant and expensive gift for mom. Nothing flashy, please, but go for a high-end object that will stand the test of time. Another great way to celebrate? Let Jupiter the traveler guide you on a celebratory journey. A weekend getaway with your mom or kids would be a great way to celebrate under this planetary influence. Moms aren’t known as the social group most likely to be daredevils, but why can’t they get in on some fun? This Sun-Jupiter meet-up brings a sporty, active vibe to the day. Zip-lining, skydiving, jet skiing, rock-climbing: there’s room for the Adventure Mom to express herself to the fullest this Sunday!

Intensity alert! This Saturday is a full moon in Scorpio, ruler of intimacy and transformation (along with wealth, sex, birth, death, taxes, reproduction … pretty much anything extreme). As if that wasn’t enough of a rush, this is a perigee moon, or supermoon — meaning the moon is incredibly close to the earth (and should be a gorgeous sight). It will be the biggest, brightest moon of the year. (For more on this, see this article.)

Scorpio is said to have three different forms or phases. Over the weekend, we may see any of these aspects emerge in ourselves. The lowest form of Scorpio is the ground-dwelling, dangerous…read the full post at MyLifetime

Jessica Simpson Has a Daughter
Welcome, Maxwell Drew Johnson, baby Taurus! Cancer Jessica Simpson gave birth to her daughter on May 1. That makes the baby a Taurus with a Virgo moon, an Earthy kid indeed. Maxwell also has a very lucky “grand trine” in Earth signs in her chart. The trine (three-way angle) is between ambitious Mars, lucky Jupiter and transformational Pluto. This kid could surpass her super-famous mom in her influence, and might even end up a political leader or global tycoon. Taurus kids tend to be loyal to their parents, so Simpson may have birthed someone who will take over the family empire later on. Luckily for Jessica, Taurus babies are also good sleepers, so we imagine (and hope!) little Maxwell is probably happily snoozing her first few days away.

Welcome to May! Our Monthly Horoscopes are hot off the press with lots of interesting updates…including a big Gemini solar eclipse on the 20th!

We’re also kicking off May with an hourlong guest spot on Gabrielle Bernstein’s Hay House Radio show this Wednesday at 9amPST/noon EST. We’ll talk stars and take your live calls, so please tune in and call with questions.

Mother’s Day is May 13…and .we’ve got a special Mother’s Day Gift Reading offer! Take $50 off a private chart reading with The AstroTwins. Insightful, empowering and all about her. A great way to appreciate the hardworking mamas in your life!

Here’s what the stars have in store for the month ahead:

May 5: Scorpio Full Moon
This one is a “supermoon” (or perigee moon), meaning it’s especially close to the earth. We should feel the already intense Scorpio vibes of transformation, rebirth and power doubly strong. Wooooo…

May 9: Mercury in Taurus
Communicator Mercury in no-nonsense Taurus should help us all talk business, make budgets and get the actual-factuals before we sign on the dotted line.

May 15: Venus Retrograde in Gemini
Love planet Venus takes a tricky backspin until June 27, making romance and relationships a little choppy. Venus retrogrades come around every 18 months to do cosmic housecleaning on our closest relationships, and possibly even to spark a reunion with an ex.

May 20: Gemini Solar Eclipse & Sun in Gemini
A changemaking eclipse echoes an earlier Gemini solar eclipse from June 1, 2011. Expect the unexpected and a bold new beginning, possibly in an email, phone call or conversation. The Sun also begins its monthlong tour of the Twins.

May 24: Mercury in Gemini
Double talk, anyone? Mercury in its home sign of glib Gemini gives us all the gift of gab. But do we mean what we say and say what we mean? Not always. Enjoy the banter, but don’t take people’s words at face value.

Enjoy your May Monthly Horoscope…and happy Springtime!

Cosmic Love,
Ophira & Tali, The AstroTwins

Tomorrow is May already — the year is whizzing by! — and there’s a little romantic prevention alert we’d like to issue as the calendar turns. For the first half of May, love planet Venus will be happily cruising along in Gemini, the sign of the Twins. Getting on the same page as your sweetie is easy during this cycle, as twins tend to “mirror” each other. If you’re single, flirty banter and fun dialogue should flow easily.

Put as much in the karma bank as you can, because on May 15…read the full post at MyLifetime

The week is off to a hot-blooded start as the emotional moon syncs up with sexy, passionate Mars on Monday and Tuesday. These two celestial bodies are rocking out in brainy Virgo, which means eroticism begins between the ears. Read your lover Rumi poems, have a sexting marathon, slip naughtynotes under each other’s doors. The pleasure party doesn’t stop there. Saturday’s supermoon (a full moon at the closest proximity to Earth) is in Scorpio, the zodiac’s siren. Chemistry that’s been building for the past six months could heat up to the point of combustion. Could that mean crashing into the proverbial rocks for some of us? Yes indeed, but, there will be no denying our passion this weekend! Intense? Hell to the yes, but playing for keeps could finally bring some of us the “happily ever afters” we’ve been longing for.

The week is off to a galloping start, as the moon syncs up with red-hot Mars in Virgo from Monday through Wednesday. Pursuing our passions is the name of the game, but Virgo reminds us it’s just as important to work from a plan as it is to get into action. Before we crash out of the gates with impulsive verve, we should take time to check the map, budget, and timeline to make sure we’re flying into the right direction.

On Thursday and Friday, the moon aligns with heavyweight Saturn in Libra. Partnerships become the focus, and we’ll need to deal with the more serious aspects of joining forces with other people. Fair-minded Libra reminds us of the importance of equality. Put it in writing! Having clear, concise agreements ensures that dynamic duos don’t go down in an unceremonious blaze.

The epic astro-event of the week comes on Saturday, when a Scorpio supermoon lights up the sky with powerful, penetrating, and passionate energy. Supermoons are full moons that occur at the closest possible distance (or perigee) to the Earth. The lunar power of this full moon is amplified now—not just because of sheer proximity, but also because it occurs in the sign of Scorpio. No doubt about it: this is one sexy supermoon. Deep and intense bonding of the mind-body-soul variety is in the offing this weekend. Warning: Our lust could lead us to jealousy, obsession, and cutthroat competition if we let it get out of hand. Fortunately, the earthy Taurus Sun will be in direct opposition to the full moon, helping us ground ourselves in reality.

Who’s ready for an extreme makeover? The transformational power of this supermoon is unparalleled, calling forth the phoenix from the ashes. An “all or nothing” attitude is required for those wishing to make a change this weekend. Nope, we can’t have our cake and eat it too. It’s gotta be one way or another. The supermoon coincides with Cinco de Mayo, a celebration of the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over the French. It’s an interesting parallel to ponder. This full moon can help us do battle with our vices, as Scorpio rules addictions, seductive temptations, and the hidden forces that lure us.
