The Planets this Week: May 1 – 7, 2016

Aired Monday, 2 May 2016, 9:00 PM ET

How will this week’s planetary influences be affecting you? The New Moon in Taurus slows down your energy level as you mull over more practical concerns of living and life. This earthy moon propels you to work hard but at the end of the day, still wants you to take it easy and enjoy some of your hard earned cash.

Make a list of items that you need to feel secure. If some of those items on the list are beyond your means, you may consider what you need to curb or grow in order to get the things you deserve. Might that be taking a second job or making some minor investments?

Your thoughts may also meander to your finances. You may want to think over how you can restructure your budget. Brainstorm ways to increase your cash flow so that you can indulge in occasional luxuries without having to raid your savings.

This is an opportune time to start testing new monetary strategies. In terms of romance, this sensual lunar influence is great for experimenting with touch, taste, and sound; anything that arouses the senses. Try new lovemaking techniques on your sweetheart. You’ll surely have a grand time testing things out!

Also this week, the Sun makes some upbeat, positive aspects to some of the heavy hitting outer planets. The theme of money, possessions and self-worth continues with these planetary influences. Find out how to make the most of the planets this week.
