Aries: The Sign Of The Courageous Soul
Aries the ram is the first sign of the zodiac. Based off the ram on the Chrysomallus in Greek mythology, it was said this particularly magical ram could fly and provided Golden Fleece.
Many might assume an Aries is an air sign, but it happens to be exactly the opposite. A fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of passion, this ram has a lot of intensity to it.
Because they are the first sign, some might think this means they are a young or naive sign. What this sign is really about is creation, the beginning of something new, like a courageous and exciting energy shooting forth.
Aries are known to enjoy going first; they are the leaders and initiators in life. When everyone is sitting around unsure of what to do, Aries are always first to jump to the occasion.
Impulsiveness is on the other side of this sign. Sometimes the boldness of an Aries can get the best of them.
Usually they have a natural air of competitiveness to them, but they are always the best to have on your team.
This fiery sign is all about action, the spark of creation and getting things done. Sometimes a bit too blunt, it can take awhile to get warmed up to an Aries.

Once you do, they are a loyal and protective friend. They are always the one to call if you’re being bothered by someone; that ram can be a fierce one!
One of the lessons this sign is learning is the balance between their actions and inaction.
Many Aries feel like they are wasting time if they are not constantly doing something. It is always important to take time to rest and relax your body.
Patience is something many ram’s are learning as well – delays are not something an Aries has an easy time with.

Their ruling planet Mars can also bring some extra aggression in their demeanor, but also intense passion. Aries are incredibly ‘into’ what they do; they are about their business and no one can stop them when they get going.
Usually good at organization, Aries are great at finishing what they start.
If you are in a relationship with an Aries, make sure to balance their male and female energy. This can look like them being soft in their voice sometimes, and more assertive other times. It’s all about feeling the moment and knowing when to shift.
Some Aries forget to slow down and embody that nurturing energy.
You can expect honesty from many Aries, they are forthcoming with their feelings and very transparent about their life. They are trustworthy, hardworking friends that you’ll always want to keep around.

Super New Moon in Gemini 25 May 2017 – Bringing the Start of a New Cycle
The potent Super New Moon falls in the air sign of Gemini on May 25th, 2017.
This Super New Moon is going to bring the start of a new cycle, however before this new energy can emerge, the old has to be cleared.
The old energy we are clearing this time around, comes from the events that stirred around the Scorpio Full Moon earlier in the month.
This was an intense Full Moon that likely brought things to the surface that needed to be cleared for some time.
Even though this Full Moon was only a few weeks ago, it is likely that it also brought things to the surface from way back in August 2016.
Perhaps if you look back on your life from that time period till now, you will see just how your journey has unfolded and how themes may have returned in order to be cleared or worked through once and for all.
New Moons and Full Moons always represent the start and end of a cycle, but often their impact lingers for months or even years. This is especially true when we have a Super Moon or an Eclipse.
This year, the Super New Moon in May will also be followed by another Super New Moon in June. This double hit of strong lunar energy means that things over the next few weeks may feel intense.
The Moon is responsible for our deeper emotions and feelings. The Moon rules over the unseen worlds and can bring whatever is hiding in our subconscious mind to the surface.
This can be confronting at times and can also challenge us to really make changes on the deepest of levels.
The Moon also challenges us to pay attention to our intuition and the more energetic or spiritual sides of life.
As the Super New Moon falls in Gemini, it will be guiding us to focus on our thoughts and how we have been communicating to ourselves, to others and to the world.

Gemini energy is very “thought” driven and often there are times where we all experience our thoughts running away from us.
The One Thing No One Should Underestimate About Your Zodiac Sign

Let’s face it. No matter how hard a person tries, there’s a point when judgmental thinking creeps in.
Sometimes a person can judge someone else by how they look, or how they sound. But when you’re in a relationship — either at work or at home — there’s a point when someone thinks that they have got you all sized up.
There’s no bigger mistake than to underestimate a person.
So keep reading to find out what others should not ever underestimate about you — according to you zodiac sign.
Astrology For May 2017 – The Nodes Are Changing Signs,
Get Ready For A Major Shift!!
May is marked by the Nodes changing signs – The North Node moves into Leo and the South Node in Aquarius. We will all experience a strong shift toward expressing our creative gifts and talents so we can reach our fullest human potential.
The message of this Nodal shift is to stop searching aimlessly for the right cause, for the right movement or for the right community to fill the emptiness inside (South Node in Aquarius), and focus on our Own creative genius (North Node in Leo)
Recommended: Free Daily Personalized Horoscope
The two rulers of the South Node – Uranus and Saturn – will be in trine throughout the month. The temptation to stay comfortably numb, to choose familiarity over possibility, to accept whatever the society is telling us to do needs to be transcended now. Now is the time to shine as an individual, to rediscover your passion and power. The
world needs your uniquely creative gifts!
May 2nd Mercury turns direct at 24° Aries and the mental fog will lift slowly. The time has come to move ahead with your projects! Thanks to the conjunction with Uranus, your mind is highly lucrative, and your ideas very original. In the next two weeks make use of your brain as much as you can.
May 10th is an extremely important day, so make sure you mark it in your calendar. The Nodal axis shifts from the Virgo /Pisces axis to the Leo /Aquarius axis, more exactly the North Node of the Moon leaves Virgo and moves into Leo and the South Node leaves Pisces and moves into Aquarius.
Last time we had the Nodes in Leo/Aquarius was from September 1998 to April 2000. Try to recall what happened then so you can get a feeling about what to expect in the next 1 year and a half.
In the same day we have a very powerful Full Moon at 20° Scorpio. The Full Moon is highly transformational and will bring positive changes especially for people with Scorpio rising or with planets or angles at 20° Scorpio or 20° Taurus.
Pluto, the ruler of this Full Moon, makes favorable aspects with the this lunation (a sextile to the Moon and a trine to the Sun) which is highly beneficial. Plutonian energy is usually difficult to digest but this time we can make the best use of it.
Mercury links with Uranus for the last time around this date as well. Mercury has been concocting something with Uranus for a few weeks – it is highly likely that the Full Moon and the Nodal shift will activate it – you can expect remarkable breakthoughts and unexpected news around this date!
If you have planets around 25° Aries the news will be about you! Expect the unexpected.
May 11th Mars is square Neptune and then trine Jupiter, while Mercury is trine Saturn. You can feel a blood rush and a desire to escape the boredom of everyday life. Thankfully, you won’t do anything silly as your mind is practical and focused on what makes sense.
May 15th Mercury enters Taurus reactivating the Sun/Mercury conjunction which took place on April 20th. If you started a new project around April 20th you will now gain more clarity about where the project is heading.

May 18th Saturn is trine Uranus. The transit will bring the much needed reassurance that we are on the right track with our efforts. Uranus wants progress but most of the time its erratic energy can be too much to handle.
But thanks to the stabilizing energy of Saturn we will now have the comfort to move to unknown territories from a place of assurance and ease. People with 26° in Fire signs will especially benefit from this transit and if you have planets around 26° in Leo this is a time of remarkable and durable advancements.
May 19th Venus at 13° Aries opposes Jupiter at 13° Libra. This is a flamboyant transit – plan to go out, you will have a blast. Venus wants you to enjoy every little thing and Jupiter wants you to enjoy every little thing to the fullest – just make sure you don’t exaggerate 😉
May 20th Sun enters Gemini and the atmosphere will lighten up. We have 30 days to feel light and carefree, be curious and explore the world around us.
May 25th New Moon in Gemini at 4° and Venus square Pluto. The New Moon is unaspected so the Gemini energy will be expressed freely. This New Moon is great for learning and explorations of any kind.
Plan a trip or watch a documentary on a topic you know nothing about. Time to forget about any opinions you “borrowed” from other people, from books, from the TV, and make your own instead. Explore life with a beginner’s mind.
May 28th Mars at 25° Gemini opposes Saturn at 25° Sagittarius. You can now feel a friction between the desire to explore the world in your terms and the need to obey the rules of the society. Take it lightly, just like a Gemini would do!
May 31st Mercury – now at the speed of light – is trine Pluto and your mental focus will skyrocket. Nothing can get in your way now as you are fully tuned in with your purpose.

New Moon in Taurus 26 April 2017 –
Bringing Fresh New Energy
The April New Moon falls on the 26th in the earth sign of Taurus, which will bring a fresh new energy.
April has been an interesting month because of the many planets in retrograde. This has caused the month to feel somewhat sluggish and perhaps things from the past that you thought were cleared and resolved have bubbled to the surface for a revisit.
The energy of this month may have made you feel as if you are walking around in circles, but know that the New Moon energy is going to bring a change, a slow change, but a change nonetheless.
This New Moon falls in the practical and earthy sign of Taurus, which means that there is a certain element of needing to double check things and really assess things before moving forward.
Even though Mother Moon herself will bring change and a new beginning, Taurus energy will really require us to move slowly and to really think about our safety and security.
Taurus energy is all about ensuring that we have created a solid foundation before leaping ahead. To do this, Taurus energy guides us to find our ‘comfort zone’ and to build from this place.

If you have felt scattered and all over the place this year so far, this New Moon will help you to find your comfort zone. In other words, this New Moon will be helping you to find stability and security in your life so you can move forward with more ease.
This may take time and trial and error, but if you follow the energy of this New Moon and allow yourself to be guided, you will find the perfect spot to build your empire.
This energy from the New Moon may not be felt straight away, as Taurus energy is slow and very methodical
. It moves at its own pace and at first, it may be hard to notice where this New Moon is guiding you to.
The retrograde energy is also going to amplify these feelings and perhaps it will seem like your are wading through a murky fog for the rest of the month.

This will be short lived and the energy of the cosmos will start moving again eventually. In fact, if you use this energy and let it guide you, it can actually be extremely productive.
The April New Moon will help us to switch gears so we can look at things from a different point of view.
Perhaps we need to look down at the ground we are standing on instead of up in the sky. Perhaps we need to look at what is already in front of us and around us rather than trying to create anything new.
Overall, the Taurus New Moon is a gentle one and is going to allow you to feel more comforted and secure with your current situation.
This New Moon is not going to stir up anything abruptly or mess with your emotions too much. All it is going to do is help you to find your feet.
Under this current energy, try as much as possible to go with the flow and to not rush ahead with anything too quickly. Give yourself time and focus on what is already in front of you rather than doing anything new.
If you are looking to create more security and comfort in your life on any level, whether it is financially, in your relationships or even in your own self, this New Moon will also be the perfect time to set an intention.

Comfort, security and peace of mind are all things that we need at times in order to keep growing and pushing ourselves further.
Even though it is not possible to always feel these things, this New Moon will light the path ahead for you and allow you to feel safe and supported on your journey no matter where you are.

This is How The Pluto Retrograde On
April 20th Will Affect Your Zodiac Sign
On April 20th, Pluto will start moving backwards in the sky. When a planet does this, it means that is going in retrograde motion. It is not really travelling backwards, but it appears to be because of the motion of the earth.
There has always been a big significance to retrogrades and especially the retrograde movements of the outer planets because their influence tends to last a long time. This particular Pluto retrograde lasts until September 28th 2017.
Pluto is a planet of deep transformation and profound psychological change and Chiron is a celestial body that is usually interpreted to mean “the wounded healer.”
Depending on what sign you are you may find yourself feeling like you are out of control or like you have no control over your events. Many of the signs may also find major relationships rupturing, especially relationships between children and parents.

If there is any co-dependency or addiction in your life, you may find yourself or a partner hitting rock bottom of some sort over the next six months.
Often, the source of the addiction or psychological disorder is in childhood and psychotherapy or recovery of some kind is needed to get to the bottom of what caused the problem in the first place.
When Pluto goes retrograde, almost everyone takes some kind of “journey into the dark” to confront their personal shadow.
For some, it means reconciliation, the need to understand different points of view, or an inner need to expand one’s consciousnesses.
This is How The Pluto Retrograde Will Affect Your Zodiac Sign
Aries
Rams are experiencing the initiation of this retrograde in their birth month, so they will be among the signs hardest hit by the effects of the Pluto retrograde. It is likely that there will be some kind of spirited disagreement between the Ram and family members.
Sibling rivalry or jealousy will play a part in how this will all play out.
Taurus
Taurus is an earth sign and they will be hit quite hard by this retrograde. It could be family members will not find time to themselves to communicate with each other. Disputes are likely to be about money or property.
The Bull’s sense of identity may also suddenly be transformed for the better. A new relationship is very likely for this sign that could experience a new freedom and sexual awakening.
Gemini
This Pluto retrograde might give the Twins a bit of a break and allow them to slow down and take care of their health.
The Gemini may find technology sadly lacking in their lives for the next few months, but the upside is that many who belong to this nervous sign will finally be getting the vacation or break that they need from office and deadline oriented stress.
Cancer
Pluto retrogrades are usually very hard on this introspective sign that does not like confrontations. However, being challenged about the past is exactly what is going to happen. The best thing for the Crab to do is be accountable for his or her actions and to stay clear of self-pitying behavior.
Do not isolate if you feel hurt by what is said – this is a very good time for Cancers to get therapy for their problems.
Leo
If you have been exaggerating or lying, then this type of thing is going to catch up with you while Pluto is retrograde. There also may be problems with a parent.
Your challenge will be to expect others to nurture yourself for a change instead of always expecting others to do it for you.
Virgo
Pluto is not doing your sign many favors over the next couple of months. There is going to be challenges financially and emotionally.
Pluto is a karmic planet and it could be that you are paying for some things you may have taken for granted over the last decade. Consider this time to be a learning curve that teaches you to be more appreciative of what you have and be less arrogant towards those who do not have.
Libra
Pluto is a planet that has to do with emotions and you may feel seismic shifts and epiphanies over the next few months that at times may feel very uncomfortable.
In fact, you may feel like you are going a bit insane
as many people who you thought were familiar to you adopt some strange and provocative behaviors. If you need to drop a relationship during the next six months, it may be for the best in the long run.
Scorpio
Pluto is one of your ruling planets and when it goes backwards, your whole world can be turned upside down.
There may be nothing you can do about it except grin and bear it, as others challenge you about your behavior. It is likely that these issues will be of a romantic nature.
Sagittarius
The Pluto retrograde may have the effect of grounding you for a while. For the next six months, it will be harder for you to travel or have fun simply because duty will call.
It is likely that you may have to work extra hours to take care of financial obligations to a family member.
Capricorn
The Pluto retrograde is in your sign and you are going to feel its impact in your personal life.
You are probably going to find yourself squabbling about property or an inheritance with siblings. You need to be careful of what you do or say during the next few months as damage done emotionally could be permanent.
Aquarius
The Pluto retrograde always makes you feel cold and numb. You may detach yourself from others just so you can examine what may have happened to you in the past with more objectivity.
Pluto’s moon Chiron will allow you to confront and resolve uncomfortable issues from your past.
Pisces
The Pluto retrograde may make you feel like retreating and focusing on something other than relationships for a while.
You may also feel tired and frustrated. This summer is a good time for you to go on a spiritual retreat or get some psychotherapy.
