May’s Planets
Forewarned is forearmed. Planetary configurations have a greater or lesser effect on each person, depending on that person’s individual horoscope chart. I hope the following will be helpful for you and would like to hear from you if it is. Dianne Lawson 785/232-2836, Cappie0113@aol.com. Be sure and check out my NEW Web site, www.DianneLawson.com.
Mars will be in Aries until May 31st
Mars feels at home in Aries. It is a good time to start new projects, start an exercise program and be assertive. You should have a little more energy to get done what needs to be done. You should feel stronger and more self-confident. Don’t rush into anything and take time to think before you go off on new beginnings.
Mercury Retrograde will be in effect virtually all of May
From time to time, each of the planets can appear to go in backward motion across the signs of the zodiac, depending upon the relative positions of the earth and the planet. That apparent backward motion is called retrograde motion.
Whenever Mercury is retrograde, communications, contracts, machines and travel plans may go awry. For ordinary life, including communications, contracts and travel, I pay little or no attention to when Mercury is retrograde. I do, however, pay close attention to when Mercury is retrograde for important communicating, most contract signing and passport vacation traveling. I will continue to go about my daily life and do what needs to be done, but I will not send any manuscripts to new publishers under a Mercury retrograde period.
Under Mercury retrograde, take extra care while communicating with others. Make sure that everyone understands what the plans and expectations are. Signing important contracts to buy expensive items, applying for or starting a new job, or sending a manuscript to a new publisher may come to naught, have to be redone, or be short lived. If you travel when Mercury is retrograde, make allowances for changes in schedules and allow extra time to arrive.
Mercury also rules telephones, computers, printers and cars, so have these checked out to do everything you can to have them in good running order before Mercury goes in apparent backward motion.
Some people feel the effects of Mercury retrograde up to a week before Mercury actually goes retrograde until Mercury is in the same degree of the zodiac, called the shadow point, as it was before it went retrograde.
Retrograde—May 7, 2009, 12:01 a.m. CDT

Out of Shadow—June 15, 2009, 2:12 p.m. CDT
Jupiter continues its long-term conjunction with Neptune through the rest of the year and into part of 2010
Jupiter enlarges what it touches. Neptune rules spirituality, religion, confusion and addiction. Watch for continued righteous religious feelings, where people of different beliefs will each think they are correct. This aspect can bring people closer to God, but it can also trick people into thinking that they have the only truth with a capital T. Use this aspect wisely and you can become closer to God and also more unconditionally loving.
Saturn is stationary direct May 16 until January 13, 2010
This is good news for people who have been stuck in their careers—not having one they like or not feeling they were making progress. Having Saturn going in forward motion through the zodiac will help ease up career matters. This is the Year of the Ox in the Chinese zodiac, so many people are feeling as if they are moving slowly in career matters. (I have a Feng Shui cure to help combat that slow ox energy, if you are interested.)
I hope this is beneficial to you. Let me know if I can be of any other help. Dianne Lawson 785/232-2836 Cappie0113@aol.com www.DianneLawson.com
