Terrace -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this
issue: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Lusty Month of May Have you heard that red bird in the morning seeking his mate? What a beautiful song he has! Have the bright flowers with their sweet fragrance caught your attention yet this season? Have you taken time yet to lie in the grass, feel its softness or taste the fresh greens just coming to market? Have you had a lusty roll in the hay with your sweetheart lately or a leisurely hot bath with scented oils? Spring is here and we have just entered the sensual sign of Taurus. Take the time to enjoy the pleasures of this time of year, you need it! After the rigors of winter it is reinvigorating and healing to the body, mind and spirit to take time to drink in the gifts of the Earth. She gives us what we need to be fulfilled; we need only to slow down long enough to savor it. In Aries life is all hustle and bustle. Like that old ‘60’s tune, Taurus the Bull says, "Slow down, you move too fast. Got to make the morning last…" Taurus likes things simple; eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired, don’t complicate your life with unnecessary activity. When life does get too crazy, go outside, sit on the ground and find your center. Let Mother Earth take care of you, send the craziness into her, she can hold the energy. In May we celebrate the feast of Venus/Aphrodite, the Goddess of love and beauty, in the Sabbat of Beltane, which occurs on May 4, at 15 degrees of Taurus. The beauty and fecundity of the Earth mixed with the passion it stirs within us is honored at this time. For our Celtic ancestors, Beltane was the beginning of summer, when we are blessed with lovely weather and an abundance of food. It is a time to relish being alive, loving our bodies, ourselves, each other and all the gifts of the Earth. Taurus needs to feel secure and does not like change. Stubbornness can be a Taurean trait. The term "bull-headed" can be appropriately applied. The opposite sign Scorpio reminds us that everything changes, everything passes, everything evolves. As Taurus likes to hold on, Scorpio asks us to let go. At the Full Moon in Scorpio on April 24, there is lunar eclipse. Scorpio takes us into the Underworld of our own heart, as it is the Moon that is being eclipsed. What are our fears concerning change in our lives? Where are we holding on that we need to let go? What are we attached to that is no longer serving us? The fears may be very intense around the time of the eclipse but at least they will no longer be hidden. The first step of any healing process is the acknowledgement of a problem. The lesson of this time of Taurus is there is nothing outside of ourselves that will ever make us secure, not our relationships, not our material possessions, not our work. Security comes from within, not without. In the middle of May, Mars and Uranus form a conjunction, they come together. Mars is the god of war, he is all about action. Whenever he is around, things happen. Uranus is the god of unpredictability and change, things also happens when he is present. When these two get together, expect the unexpected! The energy can be volatile, accidents can happen. Be very careful when driving, especially if you are angry. Don’t take your anger out on the road with you, deal with it before you get into the car. Take extra precautions when working with equipment, sharp objects and playing sports. These two planets are in the water sign of Pisces, so be extra careful around any water activities such as boating or swimming. There is also the potential for violent storms so don't be surprised if you have to duck and cover! But
this is a great time to allow those much needed changes into your
life; this is a time when you may feel like taking a few emotional
risks.
This stirred up energy can release you from the places in your
life where you are stuck. Let your intuition be your guide and
it may take you to places you never dared dream you would go!

Get insights to help you decide what actions to take to most of the energies coming to you." Sibyl and I want you to know that Cyndy's gift is truly amazing and we are pretty hard folks to amaze in this category. She has been blessed with an extraordinary gift and you won't regret the time or money spent availing yourself of her personal readings. The group session she does is free with your admission!
