The Cosmic Connection
Astrology, by definition, is the study of time and light. It is an art that has been utilized by humanity for millennia to provide a better understanding of how the cosmos affects life on Earth. One’s personal horoscope, also known as a birth chart or natal chart, is a snapshot of the sun, moon, planets and more at the moment of one’s birth (including date, time and location). This snapshot holds many keys and secrets to one’s personality, characteristics and can be considered one’s map, guidebook and lesson plan for life! Everything in the cosmos continues moving beyond the moment of your birth, influencing your life in various cycles, according to the rhythm of the sun, moon, planets, stars, seasons and even specific ages. The weekly horoscopes provided here in Shore Local Newsmagazine are written based on your rising sign. These horoscopes are intended to provide guidance and insight based on these rhythms and the cosmic connection to your lived experience. So much is written in the stars! It is my intention that these entries will assist you in deciphering what is encoded within you.

♈ Aries: Surprising insights are incoming! How you identify with your thought patterns and all forms of communication, verbal and nonverbal, are getting an unexpected upgrade.
♉ Taurus: Your sense of self-confidence gets a boost as new, unconventional channels to earnings and resources open up. Don’t block the flow by staying stuck in your comfort zone.
♊ Gemini: Queue up your favorite music platform and put the “Believe It or Not” theme song from “The Greatest American Hero” 1980s TV show on repeat. This is your vibe of the week!
♋ Cancer: Your soul is calling you in new, unanticipated ways. Give yourself the time and space to answer the call. Pick your favorite form of solitude, retreat, or meditation and go there.
♌ Leo: Are your unique, fresh visions aligned with your physical and digital social circles? This is something to ponder, as congruence in this area of your life is becoming more important.
♍ Virgo: Your personal contributions to your professional life are being liberated. Eccentricities and revolutionary ideas will set you apart and be building blocks to your fullest expression.
♎ Libra: Explorations into the esoteric or even “alien” are beckoning. Pique your curiosity and journey into the unknown. Greater knowledge, new wisdom, and a broader perspective await.
♏ Scorpio: Be aware of your boundaries. Shifts may begin occurring in the dynamics between you and those with whom you’ve merged energetically. Define what is yours and what is theirs.
♐ Sagittarius: Sometimes you’re just in the right place at the right time to meet someone you’re supposed to meet. The cosmic stage is set this week for this experience. Pay attention!
♑ Capricorn: Frequency in all its manifestations is calling your attention this week. Everything you do and experience day in and day out can be adjusted and tuned for your highest vibration.
♒ Aquarius: Are you feeling the creative windfall, Aquarius? Your muse is connecting with you in new, different, and maybe even strange ways. Channel the message into some kind of form.
♓ Pisces: A resuscitation is occurring deep within you. Parts of you rooted in your greatest authenticity want to come alive. Tune into yourself and the pulse of what’s being awakened.
Weekly astrology summary:
The biggest cosmic event of the week occurs on May 22 as the core of our being, the sun, and wily Uranus meet up in the zodiac sign Gemini for the first time in over 80 years! This annual meetup will now be occurring in Gemini for many years to come, which adds refreshing, potentially surprising energy to this part of the sky and ourselves. Expect the unexpected in the realm of all forms of communication, ideas, synchronicities, curiosity, innovation, and socialization. Gemini is the planet Mercury’s home turf, and Mercury is also co-present during this time, which gives the cosmic vibes an extra boost. Welcome and embrace what feels energizing and in alignment, especially anything that encourages expansion of consciousness and releasing perfection tendencies. A leap of faith may be required, but that surrender is just what’s being supported at this time.
As the week goes on, remaining in the high vibration may become more challenging as a bullish Mars moves into a challenging aspect with transformational Pluto. When these two butt heads, things may rise to the surface, both personally and collectively, that are representative of resistance to change, or power dynamics that reveal conditions of control. Harness the power of the excitement in the week’s beginning to push through the resistance and tension present in the week’s ending.
