Ambition, Position, Mission and Networking

This cycle is perfect for finding out everything you needed to know about your career, unpaid role or academic career. It starts on May 3^rd. Leo, you may be researching a future job, analysing the consequences of retiring or resigning or just doing your homework on a boss, client, colleague or professional competitor. Now, one important issue which relates to your ambitions will now go to the top of your list and a lot of phone calls, questions, e-mails or website visits will follow. There will be a new job, role or project around May 16^th following a period of compromise, deal-making and bargaining. Leave emotion out of it.

This is probably the networking cycle for ambitious people. Keep every business card and reply to every e-mail. Information about your career or industry which is hard to get at other times will be parked right under your nose now. It is an excellent time to gather your sources and examine your options. If you are a student, a full-time home duties person, retired or unemployed, then this cycle will affect the goals, ambitions and missions which are most important to you. Expect the same scenario – a lot of networking, information gathering, and analysis – but centred around May 16^th. Time-sharing agreements are common. Even more common is a new arrangement where the power and control between yourself and others is divided differently.

Friends and Groups

Keep your group options open now. There will be a lot of questions and apparently ‘conclusions’ but they’re subject to change and you will either alter your decisions at some point or find other people’s U-turns upend the club, team, band, political party, charity and so on. If an old friend re-enters your life now after May 18^th, he or she will connect you to a large network of people. If you make a new friend at this time, this man or woman will also open up your world – either online or through a whole chain of invitations and introductions.

The Eleventh House is also about existing friends, of course, which might explain why that person who has been there forever suddenly goes to the top of your list and you find yourself with a larger phone or internet bill. Your friend is likely to make waves in your life now and a lot of questions, plans and revolutions will result. If you have been feeling bored or lonely, this cycle can fix it. A little bit of work on your part can trigger a new social life if you want it – or a new angle on the old one. Uranus in your Eleventh is a friendship revolution. It’s a social media and social life overturn. Break with the past.

If you are permanently involved with some kind of group like the Rolling Stones (Mick), the Democrats (Bill, Obama) or the Olympics team (Anne) and it’s central to your life, then do use this time to find solutions to all those unanswered questions you may have. What happened in April pulled the rug. You will be amazed at the number of resources and sources which suddenly become available to do this. Even if you’re not a joiner (and can’t stand group dynamics), you will still find it hard not to cross paths with some kind of people-pack now because it is through the collective that you find liberation.

If you join any kind of group now, it may not last, you may not last or it may not deliver what you expected. If you make a new friend now, he or she could be a complete Cadbury’s Flake and remain in your online address book for about as long as a Flake in an ice-cream cone lasts. Uranus is unpredictable, erratic, exciting, exhilarating, liberating and not what you ever expected.

Leo, if a friend or group is holding you back and would restrict you long-term, then it changes or goes. Those are the rules with Uranus in Gemini. Right at the end of May, Ceres changes signs. There will be a major compromise or deal by June, so that you all/both share the turf very differently. What Barack and Bill do, you also do (thematically) with your own ensemble. So, watch them. But, of course, you will do you!
