May is an exceptional month with four planets (Pluto, Jupiter, Mercury and Neptune) and asteroid Chiron going stationery retrograde.

When a planet goes retrograde it makes an apparent backward motion through the Zodiac. It does not really move backwards, but appears to due to the relative motion of the planet and the Earth revolving round the Sun.

During a Retrograde period, there is a subtle change in the planet's influence related to the nature of the planet. But how does Jupiter's apparent reverse motion affect us and who is going to be particularly affected by it?

The New Moon, the Sun and Moon conjunction, is in the fertile sign of Taurus today and is in its perigee, that is to say its closest proximity to the Earth. This may dynamically impact on the weather, the tides and tectonic activity.

Not only the Taurus New Moon is in harmony with Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion and its energies will influence the entire month, but also the Earth Grand Trine involving Saturn now Stationery Direct in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn and Venus in Taurus, makes it an excellent time to start a new project that is build to last.

Taurus is a sign I know very well. My daughter is a lovely Taurus, one of my brothers is a stubborn Taurus, and some of my friends are reliable and emotionally stable Taureans.

If your birth date falls between April 20th and May 21st (the dates are approximate depending on your year of birth) then your Sun is in the sign of Taurus.

I was shocked to hear about this abuse story.

Austrian devil Josef Fritzl had abused his daughter Elisabeth since the age of 11, and locked her up when she was 18 in a windowless cellar for 24 years.

Elisabeth was forced to bear seven of her father's children. Six children survived and only three of them were taken upstairs and adopted by Josef Fritzl and his wife, Rosemarie.

Although Lilith the Black Moon is traditionally associated with an awareness of one's dark side, I have found that when Lilith the Black Moon is conjunct to the Sun in a Natal Chart, it often depicts qualities of personal strength, independence, motivation and determination.

In other words, the Black Moon carries the energies of Mars and Pluto combined, so conjunct to the Sun, this makes the personality even more determined, independent and charismatic.

Action movie star hero Jackie Chan, famous for his comedy-style Kung Fu fighting is one of the rare martial arts actors I find rather entertaining and funny.

The Chinese cultural icon is currently starring in the new action movie Forbidden Kingdom along with martial arts actor Jet Li.

Forbidden Kingdom is apparently the most expensive Chinese martial arts movie ever made, with a budget of $30 millions.

The Moon is Full today as the Sun in Taurus opposes the Moon in Scorpio.
Scorpio is the sign of intensity, so powerful and intense emotions are likely to rise to the surface now.

The Moon is also at the apex of a Kite, in sextile to Saturn and Pluto, bringing energy and dynamism into the Earth Grand Trine formed by the Sun-Mercury conjunction in Taurus, Saturn retrograde in Virgo and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn.

About a week ago was British singer Leona Lewis' birthday.

I was totally blown away by this singer and songwriter when I first watched her performance in the singing Talent TV show the X-Factor 2006 (the equivalent of American Idol in the US).

Before appearing on the show, Leona Lewis worked as a chiropodist's receptionist. Not surprisingly, Leona Lewis - now Simon Cowell's protégé - won the Talent Contest and landed the record contract.

I have met quite a few Aries women in my life who have over the years become my best friends.

With Aries men, there has always been a dynamic attraction between us as well as an element of unpredictability (My planets and ascendant in Aquarius as well as Uranus and Pluto in Libra may have something to do with it!) which kept the relationship lively and interesting.

As a whole, I like Aries straightforwardness, honesty and adventurous and enterprising spirit. Aries often live in the present, in the now and don't always think about tomorrow or the consequences of their actions. They are passionate, spontaneous, direct and impulsive.

The New Moon – when the Moon conjunct the Sun - occurs tonight in the Cardinal sign of Aries.

Aries is about making new beginnings, moving ahead in life, setting new goals, being assertive, enterprising and adventurous.

This go-ahead theme is even more emphasized as the New Moon forms a dynamic planetary configuration, a Cardinal T-Square with energetic Mars in Cancer and expansive Jupiter in Capricorn.

Top Model Naomi Campbell was arrested yesterday on suspicion of assaulting a police officer at Heathrow Airport and was released today on police bail.

As Naomi Campbell seems to have a history of assaulting assistants and employees, I was eager to investigate and dissect her chart...

What would be significant of such a violent and aggressive behaviour in both her natal chart and in transits?

Here's a real case study: My 2 ½ years old daughter. She has an unusual food disorder.

Since a baby, she has been allergic to fish and sea food.

Her body would just not take it and she would throw it up continuously hours later.
