Aries

Mark your calendar for May 11, when Venus will help you express your emotions with ease and grace. This is a great day for writing a love letter or sending a special text message. You may be feeling pressure in your career this month as Pluto continues to hover on the cusp of your 10^th house, which rules your career and reputation. Beware of power struggles with employers or people who could influence your career. This influence will be felt for quite awhile, so the earlier you get comfortable with your own power, the better. This will be particularly strong for Rams born in late March, as you may also have run-ins with people in powerful positions, including the police or other authorities. As Uranus moves into Aries late this month, you may be even brasher than usual. This is a great month for starting a creative project, joining a sports team or joining an on-line dating site, as Mars is in your 5^th house of sports, creativity, and romance. The focus is on fun, so get out and enjoy the sunshine.

Taurus

Your ruling planet, Venus, is in your 2^nd house. This is a great time to invest in real estate or other assets that hold value (gold, jewelry, art). Money should not be a problem for you this month, particularly through the 19^th. After the 19^th, Venus moves into the 3^rd house, which rules communication and short trips. You might enjoy going to an art museum, visiting an antique market, or checking out a new restaurant. Mars is in your 4^th house this month, so if you’ve been waiting to start a home renovation, now is the time to put your plans into action. Mercury in retrograde in your first house may make you feel a bit muddle-headed through the 11^th of this month. Back up your computer files and double-check everything until this influence passes.

Gemini

With Venus in your 1^st house through the 19^th of May, your usual overabundance of charm will be even more evident. Your magnetism is sure to attract attention, but be aware that your usually bright mind may  be unusually foggy as Mercury travels through your 12^th house. Be especially careful about signing important documents, driving, and backing up your computer files through the 11^th of this month. Watch your tongue towards the end of May because you may be more prone to arguments. You may not have all of the facts, so be careful about challenging others. Geminis born the 19^th or 20^th may be feeling even more restless than usual as both Uranus and Jupiter continue to square your natal sun. This is a great time to strive for more authenticity in your life and relationships; however, be sure in your quest to be true to yourself that you don’t gamble with your future. Proceed with caution as the changes you make now could make you or break you.

Cancer

In the next few months you may receive an interesting offer for employment or feel the need to strike out on your own. You are in the process of transforming your relationship to others in partnerships and your career. Life is in flux right now and will be for awhile, so get used ready to have some of your foundations shaken. This is not the best time to crawl back into your shell or to rely on the other people’s resources (they could be unreliable or based on faulty assumptions). After the 19^th, you will attract the attention of others as Venus enters Cancer. Enjoy sharing your lunar charms with admirers. Problems with siblings or neighbors may cause you some grief, especially if you were born between July 19^th or 20^th. If you have the opportunity to travel this month, take it! You will learn quite a bit if you poke your head out of your shell and take an explore!

Leo

You are full of energy this month, but be careful not to blow your top as Mars travels through your first house. You may be even more competitive than usual and you will not want to give up first place easily. Keep a tight rein on your finances as Saturn is retrograde in your 2^nd house. Money may be a bit tight this month, so curb some of your usual generosity. Things will turn around soon enough. Changing fortunes and unexpected windfalls from others may perk up your wallet a bit after May 24th, especially if you were born after August 14^th. Venus in your 11^th house brings you luck through friends and associations. This is a great time for socializing with crowds, as your Leonine charm will be appreciated.

Virgo

Expect delays and travel difficulties through the 11^th, long lines at the airports, traffic snarls and reservation mix-ups will be the rule not the exception until Mercury turns direct. Venus in your 10^th house may bring you recognition or even a promotion by the 19^th of this month. There’s been quite a bit of change and upsets in relationships this year, especially for those of you who were born after September 15^th.  Relationships should settle down a bit when Uranus moves out of your 7^th house on the 28^th. You may be feeling a bit tired and overstressed lately, but this will ease up next month when energetic Mars moves into Virgo. Hang in there Virgo – your diligence and persistence will be rewarded.

Libra

Your love life could be enhanced by a trip abroad, especially if you do your traveling before the 19^th of this month. Whether or not you are in the market for a new lover, your travel plans should progress smoothly with few delays. After the 19^th, you could receive recognition or a promotion at work. Changes in your home life over the next few years could transform your relationship to your past and the people who share your space. Librans born in September may already be feeling some of this change as Pluto squares your sun. Over the next year, be careful of engaging in power struggles, especially with people who are in a position of authority. Big changes are ahead for balance-loving Libra, so take this opportunity to socialize with friends and travel. If you belong to an organization or group, you may find yourself taking a leadership role this month.

Scorpio

With Jupiter in your 5^th house this month, you may be feeling your luck. While Vegas might seem like a great getaway right now, be careful not to overextend yourself. You may have difficulty expressing yourself to your partner right now. If you have something important to discuss, try to put it off until Mercury turns direct on the 12^th. May is a good month to start projects at work. If you’ve been procrastinating, don’t miss this opportunity! Venus enters your 9^th house of travel on the 20^th. Now is a good time to start planning a get away. If you can’t pull yourself away from your desk, then consider enrolling in a course of study or learning a new language. Someone will find your efforts charming.

Sagittarius

Chances are that you are feeling antsy right now. If you haven’t booked that last adventure, get started. Be careful, though, that you don’t get overconfident. There is a chance you could have an accident or rub someone the wrong way on your travels. You may have started some projects around the house that have grown larger than you anticipated. No worries, you can get them done or even hire someone to help. Since you are in full Sagittarian busy mode, it is likely you could meet someone this month who is particularly understanding. If you are already partnered, your mate will most likely be agreeable to your latest adventure plans (even if it does mean hiring someone to finish the bathroom remodel).

Capricorn

Some of you are probably already feeling the transformational power of Pluto in Capricorn. The next few years will find you questioning your own power and the power of others over you. While the process can be challenging, in the end most of you will find new reserves of strength. After the 19^th, you may find yourself the object of admiration as Venus enters your 7^th house of partnerships. This is also a wonderful time to have a romantic dinner or enjoy a cultural activity with your partner. With Jupiter in your 3^rd house, this is a great time to make friends with your neighbors and talk with others about your interests. You may also find yourself inspired to write poetry or investigate the occult sciences.

Aquarius

You’ve been in a haze for awhile, but it will pass. This month is great for romance. You are most likely to meet someone when you are out having fun or pursuing something creative. Between Venus in your 5^th house and Mars in your 7^th, you could even meet someone with relationship potential. Don’t be afraid to make the first move, as you will have an abundance of confidence. You may still be having some financial worries, but hang in there. This is not a good time to gamble or misuse the resources of others. If you do receive an unexpected monetary gain, put it in savings or use it to pay off a debt.

Pisces

You are still experiencing bouts of optimism mixed with feelings of inadequacy or insecurity. The roller coaster is still working itself out as you learn more about how to manage your own beliefs about yourself and the world you live in. Be sure to check your tire pressure and keep your car in good order, as Mercury Retrograde in the 3^rd house may indicate delays due to mechanical breakdowns. You may be having difficulties communicating until Mercury turns direct on the 12^th, so avoid getting into arguments. Venus in the 4^th house makes this a good time to reupholster your sofa or put some new paint on the walls.

As someone who wants to check out the competition, I gave into temptation and clicked through on an ad offering a free natal report. I was redirected to an ad for a bracelet with 5 Chinese symbols sure to give me good luck in the coming 6 weeks. This was after entering my birth information.

Astrology Of Space
By Willie Krut

Even in ancient times astrology helped people find the good and bad places for them on earth, it was based on calculation and conformity of signs, houses and squares to the four sides of the earth.. The most attention was paid to analysis of the sign’s quality and the qualities of the researched places in the country.

In the 20th century the activity of discovery in astrology increased so that astrology started to use the geocentric model (the geocentric model of the universe is the theory that the Earth is at the center of the universe and the Sun and other celestial objects go around it.), astrocartography (Astrocartography is an astrological system, developed and popularized by American astrologer Jim Lewis), and local space methods.

Here is a list of all the methods concerning the analysis of the space quality:

1. The analysis of the signs’ quality and the qualities of the country/place.

2. The analysis of the planet quality (especially in the ninth and fourth houses) and the quality of the country/place.

3. The analysis of consistency between the signs, houses, and squares to the sides of earth.

4. The geocentric method.

5. The astrocartography method.

6. A method of the local space, Local Space.

If the geocentric method can be considered a brand new method in the 20th century then the astrocartography method became the result of traditional-logical development of the time of K.Ptolemeja (1 century AD), like the planet is stronger at the top of the rising horoscope. Modern computer techniques have only proven the old axioms with convenient graphic diagrams. The same is true about the methods of the local space, in fact even before its creation everybody knew where East and West was in the horoscope. The modern astrological program can display on the map of the earth the surface of lines, where the particular planet is in the significant points of the horoscope (top, rising, aspect, position of the axis of horoscope) or on the significant direction (Local Space).

By knowing the place of the planet in the individual horoscope, it is possible to reveal favorable and not favorable sites of the space for the person. Usually the search includes places that are favorable for residence, for rest, for work, and for adjustment of private life. However, this can not be limited; the wishes of fans of the extreme life can be considered too.

The grid of lines of the planets can be put on the whole continent, on the country, on the city, or even on a single apartment. Unlike the now-popular feng shui, here everything has astrological substantiations under themselves proven by the mathematical way from the individual horoscope.

The presentation and beauty of space astrology cannot leave anybody uncaring. It seems that in this area of astrology we can expect big progress as in the growth of the already existing techniques and the development of new ones. But even those tools that we have now allow us to understand and explain a lot.
