TAURUS April 21-May 21 You are so adored right now by the heavens—in fact this very special new moon in Taurus (May 5th) is much like an open ticket. The new moon only appears in your sign once a year, so it’s your time to really show’em what you've got! To begin with, there is no better time to revamp your wardrobe, get a new haircut or explore what can bring you more up to date. You might want to first reflect on how you have changed in the last year and ponder how best to portray the new you. If you have been out of touch with a friend overseas, May 18th is a great time to reconnect and peruse the travel specials. Advice for the parents of a Taurus child Your baby is a determined little one! While other children in the group may toss from toy to toy, your Taurean would be the one sitting in the center of the floor working on that very difficult puzzle with unwavering attention. There is probably a group of admirers peering over his shoulder as well, and he is pleased with this. His persistence is much sought after and, of course, he enjoys the admiration since he's ruled by Venus. Spending all day preparing some delectable treat in the kitchen is a favorite Taurean past-time, as is sharing the treat. Lucky you! |

GEMINI May 22-June 21 May is your best time to begin new habits (or ditch old ones), whether that means making some changes in your diet, joining a fitness club or giving yourself five minutes in the morning of quiet meditation. Revitalize your soul! Moments spent alone this month will prove to be most rewarding. Your chart reveals that there have been high expenses since last October that have plagued you; this has been due to an extra long visit of Mars in your financial sector. Mid-month Mars takes a final exit and you can a welcome the relief. Now you can turn the focus to better health for yourself and family. Advice for the parents of a Gemini child Your baby Gemini was born at that special time of year when the bees collect pollen from one flower and then dispose of it in another. Without this significant deed, we would not have the bounty harvest of fruits and vegetables every year. Similar to the bees, your little Gemini is collecting all kinds of information and people and he will make sure they get to where they need to go. Geminis love interesting bits of knowledge and lots of variety: books, magazines, news, movies, trivia, to name a few. You will be amazed by his ability to bring it all together. |

CANCER June 22-July 23 You have experienced a tremendous visit from Mars (planet of action) in your sign for the last six months and your life has probably gone through quite dramatic developments. Overall, you have showed immense integrity, will, and tenacity—qualities which are also strongly linked to Cancerians. This new moon in May proposes the opportunity to take part in a charity that speaks to you or join a social network group—reach out. Your warm and nurturing spirit will be well-received by new alliances. New introductions look promising! Advice for the parents of a Cancer child Your moon child is as sweet as they come. In school, he will love history and literature. Many Cancerians are collectors as well, especially of trinkets with history attached. He might even want to hold on to his first baby blanket for quite some time after—it is a good idea to, at least, save it for him as a token. The point is that this moon baby craves security on such a deep level. Once he feels secure, his true loving spirit will begin to blossom and shed light on everyone around. |

LEO July 24-August 23 The lovely new moon on May 5th falls in your house of fame and honors. It will be quite possible that a brand new position will opening up for you or could be promotion or tenure. If you are not employed, you might be sought after and recognized within your community. It is a time for you to shine and let your highest goals and dreams be heard because now you are well supported by the universe to actualize them. The next two months will demand a lot of exertion as new developments unfold; just be sure to get enough sleep. May 12th will brim with great news—be flexible. Advice for the parents of a Leo child Leo is ruled by the sun, which is, of course, the center of the solar system, so taking center stage will come naturally to your little Lionian. Many Leos love to play an instrument, create art or act. They are always happiest when given the opportunity to play freely out in the sun. Your little one's goal is to shine brightly, so shower him with smiles and encouragement and he will give you the world! |

VIRGO August 24-September 23 Thinking about travel? Well, it’s an ideal opportunity for you and your loved ones to get away to sunny shores or maybe to begin the research online. Your children might even have the perfect idea for this getaway. If you are an entrepreneur, this new moon on May 5th will be a perfect time to launch a website, pitch a TV pilot or expand your work overseas. You might also use this auspicious time to pursue your education further with a class of interest—whatever you decide will only increase your effectiveness in all areas of your life. Romance will sparkle around May 12th and 18th. Advice for parents of a Virgo child Little Virgos were born at the time of year when the harvest is rich and ripe for picking. The farmers then decide which berries become jam, which cucumbers will be pickled and so forth. Much like these farmers, your Virgo child will love to be productive and especially helpful. He will jump at the offer to mix ingredients in the kitchen or to organize the new plate set according to color. He will have a genuine need to be of service and to help out and take pleasure in the tasks of everyday life. |

That said, the weekend of the 16th will be a dazzling time to host an event in your abode as Jupiter and the sun will be partnering in the your home sector to bring good cheer, family and friends together. If you have considered refinancing your home, this new moon of May 5th will open up an auspicious time frame for any such investments, loans or contracts (just make sure to sign before the 23rd to steer clear of Mercury retrograde).

Advice for parents of a Libra child Your Libran child is just so responsive to loving gestures—in fact, he will thrive from them and show you such extreme generosity in return.

SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 This is your month to add a little spice back into your love life.

Here’s to love! Advice for parents of a Scorpio child Your Scorpio child is keenly aware of the world around him and well adept at picking up any undercurrents that may be present. That said, it is most beneficial to create a clean environment of openness and honesty. He does indeed need to have his private time and space— that’s how he recharges.

May 12th might offer a shining new opportunity for your hobby/work as well—take it! The glow around May 21st is also particularly supportive for financial investments related to the home. May 18th might give you a glimpse of what is to come, so savor this and recreate. What an eventful month is in store! Advice for parents of a Sagittarius child Your Sagittarian child is ruled by Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system—and much like the planet, your Sag will want to do everything in a big way. International travel and adventure quenches their thirst for expansion. And so does the exploration of other cultures, religion, and philosophy. He often thrives when the right teacher happens to meet him in a classroom and that teacher who first inspires them will never be forgotten. A rich library full of history, sports, travel, to name a few, is a Mecca for your Sagittarius. |

CAPRICORN December 22-January 20 First, think back to February (eclipse month). If you were unhappy by the turn of events then, now is the universe’s corrective period. So you will finally be free to revisit and correct any mishaps. While this is one of your most dynamic years ever, the only risk is that you might spread yourself too thin. A new moon in your romance and children sector might point to the birth of a new little one or else a rebirth of romance and true love in your life. Allow others to pull you away from the responsibilities because now it is your turn to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor! Advice for the parents of a Capricorn child Your little Cappy is clever as they come, but ultimately he needs a solid structure so that his true light can shine. Youth clubs, dance groups, stamp collecting groups are examples of organizations which Caps would love to take part in and maybe even take a leadership role in. This baby goat takes responsibility seriously, even with homework. Encouraging him to play out in the sun and relax will be beneficial for his balance. This month is all about play as a friendly new moon on the 5th opens up the doors of creativity! |

AQUARIUS January 21-February 19 Your home and family life will be in the spotlight this month. If you are in the market for a new apartment or house, this month might bring welcome news and, most likely, this new place will have beautiful light and lovely detail. Your best time to house-hunt is the week of May 5th and your instinct will steer you well. Because Venus the planet of love and beauty is so close to the new moon you might enjoy hosting a gathering or beautifying your nest as well. What better time to bring family and good friends together in the home! Advice for the parents of an Aquarius child Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet which happens to spin the opposite way of all the others. Does that sound like your little one? It might be difficult to get this one in bed at night, but that is because he is always thinking ahead—and sometimes way ahead. It is the sign of inventors and humanitarians. He will need to show autonomy even at a young age, so allowing him to make decisions, such as the color of his bedroom, will give him gratitude and help to foster his beloved independence. |

PISCES February 20-March 20 This new moon in your communications sector will shed light on a new way for you to express yourself. It might be that you develop your writing talent, public speaking, maybe an improvisation class or launch a website. Be open to introductions the week of May 5th as a friend of yours might just know the perfect person for you to meet. The universe is giving you such an opportunity to reconnect with those who have been out of touch, including extended family. People will be utterly delighted to hear your sweet voice on the phone no matter what! Advice for the parents of a Pisces child Your Pisces kid needs to feel comfortable in an environment where he can let his wondrous imagination run free.
