The Handmaid's Tale

This is a novel of such power that you're unable to forget its images and its forecast.

The Dispossessed

Welcome to the planet of Anarres...

Your weekly overview...

Astro calendar In spite of stresses and challenges which appear to threaten the future, there's a solid underpinning of the basic structures of our lives that has potential to carry us through difficult times. How we experience this individually depends a lot on our attitudes and how we react to the experiences that confront us now. This is a time for building, for making the most of opportunities.


Quote for the week...

"Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them. They make the impossible happen." Dr. Robert Jarvik (Pioneering Heart Surgeon)


Success strategies for the week...

  • Take a mature and responsible approach.
  • Recognise your needs and honour them.
  • Hold the limelight with confidence.
  • Important days...

    Until Monday 12 May
    Saturn and Pluto in harmony

    This connection is one of those long-lasting influences that comes and goes, rising and falling over several months. A responsible and stabilizing trend flows steadily, easing power struggles, jealousies and resentments. Deep needs arise, but can be satisfied in responsible ways.

    Friday 9 May 2008
    Jupiter retrograde until 8 September

    As the earth and Jupiter pass each other, Jupiter appears to go backwards in the sky. An illusion, but one with astrological significance. Capricorn is highlighted, and for each of us responsibilities emerge, and issues of maturity are in the forefront. A practical, sensible and positive approach to challenges will bring good results.

    Current Trends...

    Friday 9 May 2008
    Mars in Leo until 2 July


    These two months enhance dramatic flair, confidence, and creative energy. You can hold centre stage with dignity in your world, and make an impact. A heady sense of importance could lead you into arrogance. That would be a pity.

    Until 25 May
    Venus in Taurus

    The stability of resources can improve steadily over the next four weeks. To make the most of this implies personal stability as well, particularly when it comes to commitment to the ones we love. Our values influence the benefits gained. Holding a clear understanding of your values in your heart, living by them, will naturally improve your material well-being.

    Until 18 November
    Jupiter connects to Uranus

    This happy combination peaks and falls twice before ending. It creates an ideal environment for sudden, unexpected events and opportunities. Generally, most of us will feel our spirits lift. It's a good time for traveling and for experimenting with new ideas.
