Sunday May 1, 2011 May Day
You’ve been bottled up in terms of taking direct action and seizing hold of what you most desire. Society and the world of other egos have much to offer; it’s time to participate 100%―and use the culture as your creative palette. All those wonderful things you are stand out today. In a social situation, you attract an inspiring acquaintance into your circle. Plan for some time alone, too—that’s when rewarding insights could emerge.

There’s a real value to staying in close contact with natural energies and simple pleasures; they balance out our ego-driven ambitions so we don’t attempt more than we’re ready to achieve. Today, as you turn toward simpler joys for revitalization your persuasive powers and “simple” belief in a long-range plan inspire a positive breakthrough. Extra research you take the time to do or a closed-door meeting now results in extra benefits. A social gathering may prove taxing, while solitude should provide the time and space necessary for rejuvenation.

Thursday May 5, 2011 Cinco de Mayo
In this time of crisis past knowledge is inadequate. From the Zen point of view the mind facing trouble should not depend on past concepts but should repeat: “Not this Not that!”—until the pure Void is reached. Today, don’t be thrown by “creative frustration.” News you get translates to power in your hands. Your knowledge and boldness persuade as you communicate, compete with rivals or seal pacts. You’ll be in great form this evening; spend some time in the spotlight.

Life is complex, so much more subtle than a choice between right or wrong, yes or no. Yet the Bhagavad-Gita, the jewel of Hindu philosophy, tells us that crucial moments in human evolution are best pursued with an open heart and a readiness to face all issues as if there as if there were only two opposed sides. Today, you turn spiritual warrior, fighting anew the eternal “Great War” of opposites in order to make a big leap forward. Leaving out nothing and no one via the phone, mail or fax helps you track down key info to solve an old puzzle. A family talk or outing yields encouraging news results. Spending upbeat e-mails or letters helps get people behind your pet project.

The phrase “cleansing the doors of perception” has become well known of late. But even more to be cleansed is the container of perceptual images—i.e. the ego mind. Today is about purification and starting fresh. People and plans suddenly change course, causing your mental compass to spin. Others’ wants and needs might not mirror your own—it is wise to bow out and go within. A quick breather centers you on your own path and a brilliant “new beginning.”
