May 10- June 1

19º Taurus to 10º Gemini

 

May 10- 14

Pretty much heads down preparing for a class on the 13th.  It's a subject I don't normally teach so I was definitely feeling a little bit stress.  Also got the budget done for an organization that I'm not treasurer of.  Don't know why I keep volunteering.

Flew down to the client site.  checked into the client site and finished up some things.  Ended up working till midnight then getting up at 4:00 to print everything out and then running down to Kinko to get copies made.  Not sure why it had to go to the last minute but it seemed inevitable.

Much to my surprise the class went off rather well.  Couple of glitches but everyone was happy and that's all that counts.  Finished up and flew home that night

May 15=21

Your transiting Mars is in Your Natal Second House

        You may become especially sensitive about your own value, tending to identify yourself with the things you own. Avoid foolish purchases for self-esteem.

With warrior Mars in Pisces and your solar second house until June 25th, there could be some energy going into your financial situation. There could be full and frank discussion about finances with those close to you. You may need to branch out and do other things to set the dollars straight. You may simply be ready to go for it and push the boat out. A new scheme or idea could come around May 15th. You may have to account for an unexpected glitch. Watch spending on romance or around the home as you come to the last week of the month. You may be overdoing it. Guests or visitors may feature. Make sure any home beautification projects don't turn the bank statement into an ugly sight.

By Transit

The period during which Mars transits the 2nd House is commonly a time when there are heavy demands upon a persons resources: so much of what he perceives he needs to do at this time involves the expenditure, if not of money, then of time and energy.

At this time a person tends to assess his effectiveness and competence against his ability to meet these demands.

on Monday has a conference call with a the team on an account that I said made absolutely no sense to even bid.  It's the first time that I've ever told WG that I wasn't interested.  Turned out to be smart on my part since the client really wanted another piece of software and was just putting us through our paces for the sake of argument. 

flew to a client on Weds

Did a final presentation of work I'd started in January on thurs.  This finishes up the contract. Got a flight back on Standby --

 

Uranus is in Pisces and enters your second house on May 20th where it will remain for approximately seven years. There will be radical shifts with money and many of you will come to a change of fortune over this time, suddenly or unexpectedly. Some will reach new heights while others will level off. Some of you will alter the way you spend money while others will make change to the way you earn it. Some may diversify earning power as others try to consolidate. Uranus brings about reversals and radical shifts. For those who have had little interest in finance in the past, there may be a sudden surge of energy. Thus, some will be inclined to take risks or gamble with money for the first time while the speculators may decide to go down a more conservative road. Some will move away from a material view, taking an interest in creative or spiritual matters, even giving to charitable or humanitarian work. Some will accumulate material possessions while others decide to shed them. Whatever the change, the important thing is that you will view possessions and financial life from a new perspective.

If you had Uranus in your Second House then you would probably swing from one extreme (stability) to the other (not sure where the next pay check is coming from) financially due to the type of employment undertaken (erratic or unusual).

As Uranus transits the 2nd House, a person's attitude to material security tends to undergo change as a result of disruption, which is brought by this transit. As a result of seeing his careful plans trashed by Uranus, and equally important, having the experience of surviving the upheaval, a person tends to become more relaxed about material concerns and more accepting that what will be will be. As it transits H 2, Uranus brings sudden and sporadic disruption, especially if H 2 is tenanted. The natal placement of Uranus indicates the attitude, activities and situations through which the planet works as it transits.

May 22-

The fourth house has come and gone without me recording much.  Oh well part of this journal is to reflect the rhythm of my life and it's heads down and slipping past me that's news as well

Sunday and Monday was pretty much heads down getting ready for a class.  Stopped by to visit a friend and get some idea of what we need to do to help them get ready to sell the house.  Things were actually in better shape than I'd feared.

Taught it Tuesday morning and it went ok.  Packed Tues evening and

On a plane first think Weds.  At a client Weds and Thursday and decided to come home early Friday. 

Got lucky and got an upgrade to first class.  Seems no one else was even a frequent flyer.

Conference call with a client we probably won't bid.  Sort of a long story here but the import significance of this is that I don't care.  I'm through fighting with my business partner about how he handles accounts

Then ran a few errands and collapsed.  It was hotter than I've ever felt it in May.  I think we were pushing a 100.

Woke up Saturday morning from a very disturbing dream -- I'm living in a big house with lots of cats and dogs.  At one point I come into the living room and see that the cats and dogs have killed the snowy owl and that the living room has turned into a small lake.  there is two to three feet of water but there are plants and the lake actual has a shore line.  It's as if the two images are superimposed on each other.

Sat - Went over to the Rs and took RM out to shop for the remainder of his birthday present.  I got him some rocks and I told him I owed him a book.  Took us two shops but we got exactly the right thing.

May 29 - June 1

Snatches of a dream.  I'm in a large house with lots of people and we're all discussing an upcoming meeting/court case.  At some point in time we have to get to the train station to board the train to reach the meeting on time and I'm unable to move quickly enough to get from point A to point B.  I find myself thinking that this is a typical dream scenario of only being able to move in slow motion and I ask myself why that is.  When I miss the train I ask myself if there's away around it.  I'm quite aware while I'm in the dream state that I've had other dreams of missed trains and I ask myself how significant this one is and what it means if I'm not there to testify on a case I say is so important.

31st Rain, Rain and more rain.  It's gone from a record breaking high nineties to not even reaching 60 degrees -- Oh well.

On May 31st, Saturn, measurer of effort moves into your seventh house. This will bring changes with partnership and make this a potent year for relationships. For some, there will be an increase in responsibilities as you enter a new phase with loved ones. You may struggle at times with the commitment this requires but can benefit greatly if you work to understand what the relationship asks of you and how to give that and yet remain an independent being.

June 1 - Made the decision to take down one of my sites.  I've been asking myself when the time was right and hadn't gotten a clear answer in the last two or three years but it seems a fitting task for the final day of my fourth house.  Essentially I've chosen to move from the home and web community I've been part of for nine years and embark on something else.
