Aries (March 21st-April 19th)
“Aries are unpredictable – they jump from idea to interest to relationship with lighting-like speed, all in the name of keeping their passions enflamed. Like fire, Aries can burn out easily - either from overextension, which they love, or from boredom, which they fear.” p.4

YOU may enjoy solid growth and success this month. The spotlight can beam bright on you when the Moon travels through Aries the 2nd-4th. Although you’ll experience May’s opportunities uniquely according to your birthchart, here’s where they fall for your Sun Sign:

MONEY matters can really blossom as fruitful energies flow to and from your house of assets. First, the New Moon on the 5th opens a new financial environment. Then, attractive Venus helps you draw fortunate contacts and contracts, especially the 18th and 19th. Venus also helps you find and buy gorgeous material items, so go shopping. (But resist Venus’s temptation to overspend).

Do watch for possible financial or values differences with partners or friends, possible surfacing around the Full Moon on the 20th.

CAREER/WORK show distinct forward motion this May. Saturn, the planet that’s been making you tend to the all those details lately, finally goes direct on the 3rd.  That will  help move whatever you’ve working towards ahead. (Yay!)  This powerful aspect from your REPUTATION house helps promote your STATUS and bring new, bigger decisions and activities to your work routine.  FINANCIAL REWARDS can accompany all this actions, especially 3rd, 4th, 12th, 13th, 22nd.

CONTRACTS/COMMUNICATIONS are also super-activated as clever Mercury brings you ideas, phone calls and conversations galore. It’ll heighten your decisiveness and communication skills, making you more alert and prompting others to think of you more. Use Mercury’s curious, entertaining energy to make decisions, negotiate, or to LEARN OR TEACH

TRAVEL is also likely as Mercury loves to be on the move. You may travel to find love or find love while traveling. But then again, since Venus is in your NEIGHBOR house, you might also find love by taking a trip next door.

Note: MERCURY GOES RETROGRADE from May 26th - June 19th in your communications house. Take care to communicate clearly, drive carefully and not assume your technology is going to work through those dates. Be aware, too, that plans and decisions you make in May might need to be tweaked. Be patient with these possible reversals and mix-ups as delays could put you in an even better position to get what you really want.

LOVE gets fired up as Mars brings extra sex appeal and bravado to your house of romance. It can help you strike up a new love or bring more passion to existing ones.  Either way, use its assertive panache to demonstrate your feelings and woo others with your powerful heart. Be CREATIVE as Mars will help your SELF-EXPRESSION be noticed and applauded.


  --------------------

Taurus (April 20 –May 21st)
“One of Taurus’s greatest gifts is resourcefulness. Taureans have a keen eye (and nose) for assets and opportunities that can further their goals.  They see value in things that others miss or even discard, knowing that a little polish here and a little adornment there will make them all shiny and valuable once again.” p. 53
   
YOU have a world of beneficial celestial energies serving you this month. Although what’s about to flourish depends on your unique birthchart, it’s likely that LOVE AND ATTRACTION will be part of it.

That’s because Venus transits your sign from the 1st-25th. It’ll heighten your magnetism, beauty, and social skills and urge you to connect with others. May is a wonderful month to begin a sensual new ROMANCE or to lavish more affection on existing loves, especially so when the Moon travels your sign on the 4th and becomes new on the 5th. The 12th -14th, 17th, 18th, 22nd- 24th are also auspicious.

Saturn going direct in your house of LOVE on the 3rd also helps you take important, disciplined actions involving ROMANCE, KIDS, and CREATIVE PROJECTS. Efforts you’ve been investing in can begin to pay off then.  But, alas, if something isn’t working for you, you could have the courage to end it then, too.

Do consider other’s feelings around the SCORPIO FULL MOON on the 20th, or else a bit of a show-down could ensue.

MONEY is also in your planetary spotlight as Mercury sparks more communications, ideas, and decisions about finances. Use it’s clarity to show value of your personal resources or to make good financial decisions, especially the 6th -7th. Analyze your asset management to make sure it’s really up to date.

Note: MERCURY GOES RETROGRADE IN YOUR MONEY HOUSE from May 26th – June 19th.  That means decisions, plans and communications might experience snafus, reversals, or fall apart all together – including those that were planned right before Mercury went retrograde.  So count on things only when they actually materialize and make sure your communications are as clear as possible. Truth is, Mercury Retrograde can also help you become clearer about what you want, what you’re worth and where you want to invest yourself.

TRAVEL looks good this month, as does TEACHING, LEARNING, WRITING OR LEGAL PURSUITS, especially the 18th, 19th, 23rd, 24th. Expansive Jupiter is teaming up with innovative Uranus to bring you particularly good insights and liberating inspirations. 

FRIENDSHIPS are also exciting and expansive this May. Sudden but amazing introductions or connections are likely. Let yourself circulate: You’re likely to be very pleasantly surprised by who you meet up with. And tell your friends and associates of your ambitions.  They could hold the key to quick success.

HOME/FAMILY life could become quite activated this May as Mars brings its aggressive energies to your personal life.  Use its creative muster to remodel, redecorate, or to otherwise assert creativity into your home dynamics.  But avoid acting on Mars’ irritabilities as it could spark unnecessary arguments, including with parents. In other words, go for the creative drama, but avoid the crabby drama.


  ----------------

Gemini (May 22nd- June21st)
“Being an Air Sign gives Gemini a changeable, I-am-here-today-but-I-might-be-gone-tomorrow breezy flow to life.  Just as it’s hard to hold air in your hands, it’s hard to hold on to a Gemini. p.54

YOU sure will have something to talk about this May as bright and energizing Mercury travels through your sign. It’ll give you increased mental energy to use for making DECISIONS, considering new IDEAS, and signing important CONTRACTS.  Use Mercury’s wit and curiosity to LEARN something new or to TEACH what you already know.  And, since Mercury loves a change of vista, go ahead and TRAVEL even if it’s just for a weekend jaunt. The spotlight shines even brighter on you when the Moon travels through Gemini on the 6th-8th.

Note: MERCURY GOES RETROGRADE IN GEMINI from May 26th – June 19th.  That means those great decisions, plans and communications you make could experience snafus, reversals, or fall apart all together. Count on things only when they actually materialize and take steps to make sure that your communications are as clear as possible.

Because Mercury is Retrograde in your sign of Gemini, you might feel its “change-on-a-dime” effects more than others do. So have a “plan b” in place, watch communications and your driving, backup your computer and check your appointment book for the correct dates and times. But use Mercury Retro for what it’s really designed for: to evaluate the path you’re on and the decisions you’ve made to decide if they are still right for you now.
 
SPIRITUAL/SELF-KNOWLEDGE pursuits are also recommended this May. Many planets, including the TAURUS FULL MOON on the 5th are set to illuminate aspects of yourself you may not have been aware of.  Intuitions and dreams can be stronger, as can revelations about unconscious motivations. An adoring someone might help you through all this, possibly a love from your past.

HOME/FAMILY activities and plans are (finally!) moving full steam ahead. Use the practical energies to move, remodel, or bring a disciplined order into your home life, especially the 4th, 12th, 13th, 22nd.

JOINT FINANCES/ INVESTMENTS can be on the upswing this 2008 as expansive Jupiter and transformative Pluto help you find good people and avenues to invest your assets with. (Just don’t give your power completely over to them as that could result in mismanagement or even betrayals.) But do watch for the solid opportunities materializing this May, especially from the 18th-25.

CAREER/STATUS can also enjoy sudden, unexpected good fortune, especially the 1st, 18th – 29th.


  --------------

Cancer (June 22nd – July 22nd)
“Cancer is ruled by the Moon.  The Moon changes signs every two and one half days.  That means Cancer’s moods and expression can change every two and a half days.” p.95

YOU are still on a self-promotion theme as energizing Mars in Cancer pumps you up through the 9th of May.  There’s a steady stream of supportive energies popping this month to offer you assistance and self-awareness. The Moon brings the spotlight to you when it travels through your sign the 8th-10th. Exactly how May’s constellations will affect you depends on your unique birthchart, but here’s what’s likely:

FRIENDSHIPS can become sweeter this month as the New Moon on the 5th ushers in a new vibe with associates. A valued new friend may come into your sphere or more affection could be expressed with existing buddies. The 17th -20th could bring an unexpected surprise, perhaps from someone far away. Tell your friends and associates of your goals and ambitions.  Someone might be able to really help you now.

LOVE/CHILDREN matters could come to a head on the 20th as the Full Moon likes to reveal hidden feelings and affections.

RELATIONSHIPS are growing and deepening this 2008 as Jupiter and Pluto are bringing incredibly significant alliances into your life.  They are likely to deliver special ones to your doorstep who can teach you something and/or rock your world, especially the 1st, 4th, 5th, 13th, 14th, 23rd, 24th, 29th. But don’t be so impressed with others as to completely hand them your power.  They may use it in a way you don’t agree with. Instead, use their power to learn more about your own.

MONEY matters might have gusto from May 10th and on as Mars imbues you with assertiveness to take charge of your finances.  You might earn big and perhaps spend big (but watch to not spend to satisfy your ego.).  Mars can also help you stand up and declare your worth – financial or otherwise. Use it to ask for, and to pursue, what you want. 

SPIRITUAL/SELF-KNOWLEDGE pursuits can also be quite fruitful.  Messenger Mercury is helping you communicate with your deeper self this entire month. Its presence can illuminate unconscious motivations, feelings and beliefs you might not have been conscious of.  It can also assist you in tapping into your wisdom and intuition even more.  Taking personal-growth action such as journaling, dream analysis, mediation and counseling could be especially rewarding avenues of clarity.

NOTE: MERCURY GOES RETROGRADE in this house of Spiritual and Psychological exploration from May 26th-June 19th.  That’s another indication that it’s time to go deeper into yourself in order to discover or evaluate if what you are doing is truly right for you.

Don’t pressure yourself to make firm decisions, however. This placement is more about clearing away unnecessary beliefs and letting go of involvements that no longer serve you.  Remember: Releasing what you don’t want is a good first step to receiving what you do want.
 
COMMUNICATIONS, CONTRACTS that you’ve been waiting and preparing for can finally move forward this May. You might change your surroundings, clarify your work duties, or finally start that book or lecture series you’ve been considering.

That said, any idea, contract, etc. that won’t fly can be nixed this May.


   -------------

Leo (July 23rd – Aug. 22nd)
“Don’t take Leo’s bossiness personally.  And don’t let Leo seduce you into doing something you don’t want to because you fear they won’t love you if you don’t.  A Leo’s love isn’t dependant on your doing what they want you to-it’s much stronger than that. p.109

YOU will be charged up this month as feisty Mars visits your sign for the first time in 2 ½ years. It’ll bring you loads of sex appeal, energy and chutzpah to tackle new projects and stir new passions in your relationships.  Since Mars encourages action, plan on moving and shaking up your status quo. Having Mars in your sign usually indicates you can mold life more to your liking.

But since Mars can also bring a penchant for igniting irritabilities (in you and in others) be sure to avoid reacting out of anger, lest you create unnecessary squabbles. Use the power of the Moon traveling through Leo the 10th-12th  to let yourself shine.

CAREER and PRESTIGE pursuits are also well aspected this May.  The Taurus NEW MOON on the 5th signals a new beginning in your professional endeavors. Venus in this STATUS house through the 25th is great for attracting others, including authority figures, to support your ambitions, including on the 1st.  Remember to be sensitive to the bottom line, though, as these planets support pragmatism over (your normal) pizzazz.

MONEY matters can (finally!) move forward this May.  Disciplinary Saturn transiting your assets house has probably been challenging you to be more practical with your finances.  So much so that 2008 might be your “Year of the budget.” But this May should bring a relieving shift in your financial flow. It’s very possible you get a new job this month.  Or your current job could get better funded, possibly the 3rd, 4th, 12th, 13th, 22nd. 

FRIENDSHIPS are also buzzing with activities this month as communicative Mercury delivers messages galore between you and others. You’ll probably hear from more friends than you normally do and receive more invitations, too. Go ahead and travel with friends, even if it’s just for a weekend get-away. Let your buddies know what you want as someone could open doors for your future success, including the 6th, 7th, 25th, 26th.

But be flexible the week of the 20th - 25th, as plans and ideas might need to adjust to meet your work demands or to attend to a crisis of another.

And, when Mercury goes Retrograde between May 26th and June 19th, communications could get a bit mixed up and plans could go a little awry. So be super-clear and check your appointment book to make sure you show up on time to all the meetings and social gatherings you’ve planned. Your goals could teeter a bit during Mercury retro, or experience a mishap or two.  So be flexible.

But more deeply, Mercury retrograde is bringing you extra time to evaluate your friends and future goals to see if they are genuinely right for you. If they aren’t, use Mercury’s decisiveness to end them.


   -------------

Virgo (Aug. 23rd – Sept.22nd)
“Work is one way Virgos can express their gifts and their Spirit.  But there are many other avenues for that as well - like relationships, recreation, even hobbies.  And Virgos need to be sure they treat themselves to the fun of life, as well as the work of life.” p. 151

YOU are progressing quite nicely this May. Saturn, the planet that’s been pressuring you to redefine (or better define) your life and your capabilities, goes direct in Virgo on the 3rd.  That can bring a distinct forward motion to your plans and life decisions. Then, when the Moon travels through Virgo on the 13th, 14th, the ball bounces into your court to serve anyway you wish. (Even if you have to shake things up a bit).

Although each of you will receive solid opportunities according to your own birthchart, here’s where you’re likely to experience welcome successes:

LOVE and RELATIONSHIPS can be delightfully expansive this May, and perhaps experience a surprising twist or two. Jupiter in your house of ROMANCE is making you more magnetic and willing to express your feelings while Pluto is deepening your ability to relate.

Uranus in your house of RELATIONSHIPS adds to this by creating a “lets do things differently” vibe between you and others.  It can make you more adventurous and spark new connections with truly unique partners.

Use the especially good planetary energies the 1st, 12th, 13th, 14th, 23rd 24th to pursue love and social engagements. 

But, alas, if a relationship isn’t going to work out, you may discover that too, possibly the 1st, 26th-28th.

TRAVEL, INSPIRATION, pursuits are also highlighted this May, especially from the New Moon on the 5th and on. This is a great month to seek love and fortune from EDUCATIONAL or from far away places.  LEGAL and SPIRITUAL activities could be very rewarding, too. A CONTRACT or CHANGE OF ENVIRONMENT can be complete on the 20th Full Moon.

CAREER is also hopping as messenger Mercury is bringing you multiple ideas, contacts and ideas to consider about your profession. It’ll stimulate more decisions, conversations and attention to tools of communications (like computers, software, etc.) This placement isn’t about perfection – it’s about communicating - so express your ideas, even if they’ll need tweaking down the line.  

Keep in mind that Mercury goes Retrograde in your Career house from May 26th – June 19th. That can cause reversals of plans, misunderstandings and/or the need to go over ideas and contracts you thought were already complete. It could also spark some confusion over what steps to take professionally.

Tolerate these little annoyances.  Mercury is actually buying you extra time to sort out your genuine professional goals and directions. By the time it goes Direct in June, you’ll be armed with even more clarity and power.


 

 

 

 

Libra (Sept. 23rd – Oct. 22nd)
“Whether social or loners, most Libras will learn their life’s lessons through their relationships. Some important relationships in their life will necessarily be problematic.  Those are the situations where Libras gain the Libran wisdom: that they only need to find balance and harmony within themselves to be at peace.”p.192

YOU might be more emotional than usual this May, or find yourself dealing with emotion-packed subjects with others.  Either way, your best bet is to tell it like it is and seek practical solutions. The 15th and 16th might be your personal power days. Although each of you will experience May’s constellations according to you own birthchart, here’s how they basically affect your Sign:

OTHER PEOPLE’s needs or crises are capturing your attention this May.  From the New Moon on the 5th and on, you might be tweaking your strategies of how you share feelings and assets with others. You might be evaluating JOINT FINANCES, securing a LOAN, helping someone go through a trouble time.  Consider this practical bottom line: do you find value in it or not?

SEX is highlighted through the 25th as attractive Venus makes you and your partner more amorous and affectionate.

TRAVEL is likely this May as is EDUCATIONAL or LEGAL activities. Curious Mercury is traveling through your house of INSPIRATION. So go somewhere or do something that awakens you to your greater purpose. WRITING is also recommended, even if it’s quick, uplifting notes to yourself.

Keep in mind that Mercury goes Retrograde from May 26th to June 19th in your house of travel, education and inspiration. This means you might experience some travel snafu’s, reversals of plans and agreements, and miscommunications. So be clear and armed with a “plan b.”

 Mercury Retrograde’s real purpose is to create extra time for you to go over what you really think and plan in order to make sure it’s right for you.  Ask yourself: “Am I doing what I really want to do in life?”

FRIENDSHIPS are more active as Mars ignites new energy between you and others.  This is a good month to reach out to others for fun or to initiate new projects and goals.

HOME/FAMILY matters are still growing as Jupiter makes matters more active, even excessive sometimes. Pluto is urging you to delve more deeply into your psychology, and perhaps your family issues, in order to discover more about yourself. Unexpected healings are likely this month. So are the completions of some useful home projects. Use the good energies on the 1st, 23rd, 24th to get important things done right.

RETREAT/HEALING pursuits are also recommended this 2008.  Saturn, the planet of self-mastery is urging you to get even more in touch with your Spiritual self.  Something you’ve been hovering around could finally get going (or end, if need be) from the 3rd on. 

   --------------

Scorpio (Oct. 23rd – Nov. 22nd)
“Words Scorpios love to say: ‘Let’s keep this a secret between us’ ‘Let’s look at this more deeply’ ‘I care for you, which is why I’m pointing out your problems and mistakes’ ‘I’m suspicious and I’m going to get to the bottom of this.’” p.175

YOU have a lot of RELATIONSHIP activity this month. The Moon in Scorpio on the 18th, 19th, and (The Full Moon on the)  20th can make you especially passionate and bring something you’ve been working towards to fruition. Although each of you will experience these social energies according to your unique birthchart, here’s where they shine for your Sun Sign:

PARTNERSHIPS, romantic, business or otherwise are in your spotlight from the Taurus New Moon on the 5th and on.  Valuable new pursuits and experiences can result.  Use Venus’s sweetness to connect with attractive others. Let companions see how worthwhile being with you can be, especially the 1st, 12-14th, and 23rd -25th. The Scorpio Full Moon can bring a relationship issue to a head, revealing whether or not it’s a go.

LOVE affairs can begin or suddenly improve while great things can happen with your KIDS this May, especially the 1st, 18th -25th, and the 28th-29th. FRIENDS might be ready to offer you useful support. Over all, your CREATIVITY and SELF-EXPRESSION are encouraged.  Bottom line: Love and be loved. 

FRIENDSHIPS and plans with GROUPS can also move forward from the 3rd on. Efforts you’ve been making with associations or projects that involve others can become more sure footed after then.  (Or, if they aren’t going to work out, you’ll know that, too).

CONTRACTS, COMMUNICATIONS are likely to be successful, especially the 1st, 23rd, 24th. TRAVEL is good this month, too. Think big – even if you act on ideas later in 2008.

CAREER and STATUS activities are empowered this May.  Mars is transiting through your PROFESSIONAL ASPIRATION house for the first time in 2 ½ years, empowering you to assert AUTHORITY more.  This is a great time to demonstrate your mastery and leadership as the world is prepared to applaud you. (But it might compete with you, too)

Do avoid Mars’s temptation to react to irritabilities and rivalries as squabbles could take your attention off more important matters, like getting your work done. Hint: Watch your and other’s pride.  

JOINT FINANCES and other assets you share with others, including TAXES, INSURANCE and  LOANS, can also be on your mind this May.  Clever Mercury is helping you see these matters from a new perspective, and perhaps encouraging you to try an innovative strategy.

It’s also a good month to COMMUNICATE with PARTNERS about their THOUGHTS, NEEDS OR FEELINGS.  In other words, taking stock of what you share with others, financially emotionally, or even SEXUALLY can result in some wonderful Ah! Ha’s!

Remember that Mercury goes Retrograde from May 26th – June 18th. That might call for the decisions and agreements you’ve been cultivating lately to be tweaked a bit. Tolerate the reversal of decisions or plan interruptions Mercury Retrograde might ignite. Although it certainly triggers those kinds of hassles, it’s really buying you extra time to gain deeper insight about what’s going on with your and other’s shared resources.  Keep examining so you can be even clearer about what’s really going on. Including in the boudoir.

  -------------

Sagittarius (Nov. 23rd- Dec. 22nd)
“Laughing at themselves can be Sagittarian’s best medicine and greatest awakener. p. 245

YOU will be magnetic in your relationships, lucky in money, and clever in your communications.  Use the Moon’s transit through Sagittarius on the 20th-23rd to express and renew yourself. Although May’s opportunities will be unique for each of you, here’s how they light up your Sign:

RELATIONSHIPS are ignited and energized as communicative Mercury is traveling through your PARTNERSHIP house through July 2nd.  It’ll help you to make decisions, introductions, and plans with clever others. Use it to reach out and be social and to connect with many different kinds of people.  You might even receive multiple offers for important endeavors.

 Mercury makes you bright and it makes your partners bright, too. For the most part there will be harmony, but you may need to hash something out or make a concession the 20th-23rd. No worries: Venus makes you even more attractive and irresistible from the 25th on.

Note: You might feel the effects of Mercury’s Retrograde Motion from May 26th through June 19th in your relationships. It can spark misunderstandings, missed meetings, so be clear in your communications and check your scheduled appointments. You might even feel a sense of not being “sure” about someone important in your life. If that’s the case, allow yourself time to consider commitments until you do feel sure- even if it’s after Mercury goes direct on June 19th.

The value of Mercury Retrograde is it gives you extra time to consider what you are doing, in this case with relationships, and to change your mind, or just tweak matters, if need be.  It’s also likely that someone might be re-evaluating their relationship with you, too.

MONEY can grow this May. Keep communicating about what you want and need as someone near could bring a helping hand.

REAL ESTATE/FAMILY matters could unfold surprisingly nicely, especially the 18th-24th. 

WORK/CAREER aspects are also favorable as practical, “Let’s get this done” energies support your success. You could attract good employees and helpful coworkers, especially on the New Moon on the 5th, 18th-19th.

TRAVEL/EDUCATION pursuits are also activated as Mars brings it’s gusto to your need for new vistas.  Use it’s courageousness to go explore new lands, bold ideas, or to challenge your or other’s ideas.  It can also bring you determination in LEGAL MATTERS. But avoid letting Mars’s irritability to take over lest you create unnecessary squirmishes, even from far away.
 

  -------------

Capricorn (Dec.23rd – Jan 20th)
“You won’t find your Capricorn shouting from the mountaintop that they love you, but you will be wooed by deeds of quiet affection. You’ll be amazed how this ordinarily cautious character turns teddy-bear soft as they connect with you.” p.225 

YOU have terrific energies supporting you this May!  Along with expansive Jupiter and Transformative Pluto helping you grow and deepen, other planets are bringing solid opportunities and good vibes. Let yourself shine when the Moon in Capricorn focuses it’s the spotlight on you the 22nd-24th. Each of you will experience these according to your own birthchart, but here’s some possibilities:

CONTRACTS, COMMUNICATIONS can be quite auspicious, especially the 18th-25th.  Progressive insights are possible then, as are offers that (seem to) come out of the blue.  You might even find that matters with SIBLINGS or NEIGHBORS bring happy results.

TRAVEL could be good this month, especially the 1st, 18th, 19th, 23rd-24th.

LOVE looks great, too. Attractive Venus traveling through your house of ROMANCE can amplify your flirting skills and magnify your sex appeal most of this month.  The 1st is especially good, as is the 5th, when the New Moon ignites new circumstances in your love life. The 18th, 19th,23rd, 24th are also favorable – so go for it!

WORK is active and changeable as communicative Mercury encourages you to consider new ideas about big and small matters. You might investigate new or better communication tools and strategies, new employees, or simply ways to make your work routine more interesting.

Consider this: Mercury goes Retrograde between May 26th and June 19th in your work house.  That means you might experience its associated miscommunications, technical problems, and schedule mishaps mostly at work. So be clear with coworkers, check your schedule and make sure you aren’t counting on technology to get your work done on time.

 That said, Mercury Retrograde’s true purpose is to create extra time to consider what you are doing, how you are doing it, and who you are doing it with to ensure it’s truly right for you.  If something isn’t working, use Mercury Retrograde to tweak it or walk away from it.

JOINT FINANCES and other matters that involve other people’s ASSETS can be heightened this May. Mars is bringing courage and assertiveness to your dealings with others, be it financial or SEXUAL. This is a great time to show your power and creativity while giving and receiving: If you want something, let others know. If you are willing to give them something, let them know that too.  Just avoid the irritability and rashness Mars can ignite, (sparked by pride, probably) that could make matters more complicated. 

   ------------

Aquarius
(Jan.21st-Feb. 18th)
Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus.  Uranus is associated with the quality of genius, and many Aquarians are, in fact geniuses in some way.  Even if some Aquarians aren’t true geniuses, they’ll still dazzle you with their brilliance.” p.311
 
YOU have loads of planetary energies stimulating your people connections this May. Use the heightened energy of the Moon’s transit through Aquarius from the 25th-27th to express yourself. Each of you will experience May’s social energies according to your unique birthchart, but here’s where they fall for your sign:

LOVE and SEX is capturing your thoughts as communicative Mercury brings you important decisions about ROMANCE. Make those introductions, and accept those phone calls as you could meet someone quite delightful this month.  If you are already in love, use Mercury’s cleverness to have enticing conversations that make your connection even stronger.

It’s a wonderful month to express creative wit. You might even travel to find love or find love while traveling. Interactions with KIDS can be busier, too, and full of new thoughts and input.
  
Note: When Mercury goes Retrograde from May 26th through June 19th love matters can take unexpected directions. Changes in plans could erupt then, as could misunderstandings. So be clear with your beloveds and flexible if situations go awry. You might even experience “second thoughts” about yours and another’s feelings.

Although these Mercury Retrograde snafus can be annoying, remember a bigger opportunity is at work: you are being given extra time to decide whether your involvements with love and kids are genuinely right for you.  (Hint: money or value differences could be at issue) If they are, all will be sorted out.  If they aren’t it could be time to change course.

PARTNERSHIPS are getting revved up, too. Powerful Mars has entered your house of RELATIONSHIPS activating more dynamism between you and others.  You and those close can be more assertive, expressive and sexier through early July.  Use Mars’ courageous energy to initiate new partnerships or new directions with current partners. Take a leadership role and ask for what you want.  Introduce yourself to someone who impresses you and let your boldness shine.

 But avoid connecting with others through dominance or irritability as Mars could spark unnecessary fights if territories are crossed insensitively.

HOME/FAMILY can also have a boost this May. The New Moon on the 5th starts a new energy in your personal life while Venus helps bring love and beauty to your living situation. REAL ESTATE matters could be successful and lucrative. Use the great energies on the 18th, 19th, to entertain, beautify, or negotiate home and family matters, including ones that involve parents.


CAREER/STATUS endeavors might come to an important fruition at the Full Moon on the 20th.

ASSETS might experience an unexpected upswing, especially the 1st, 18th-26th.
 

  -------------

 Pisces (Feb. 19th- March 20th)
“Pisces aren’t as invested in this world or as pressured by its demands as other signs.  Instead, their flowing stance dissolves demands and makes time float away. With their spiritual quality, Pisces know how to let problems go and appreciate the mystery of life, and they can help you do the same. p.271

YOU have some delightful energies supporting you this May. Your presence will be electrifying and others will be drawn to you more.  Even that restlessness you’ve been experiencing can have some worthwhile outlets. Use the spotlight of the Moon in Pisces to express yourself the 1st, 28th, 29th (even if it shakes things up a bit).  Although each of you will enjoy unique possibilities from these aspects, here’s how they activate your sign:

FRIENDSHIPS are expansive and fortunate this month, and more helpful, too. Go ahead and ask others for what you want and need.  Introduce yourself to those who impress you. Admirable companions can help further your goals. Better yet, have a party and enjoy uplifting vibes, especially the 1st, and the 18th-25th, 28th, 29th.

PARTNERSHIPS and other important RELATIONSHIPS can also show distinct forward motion when Saturn goes direct on the 3rd.  Saturn has been urging you to develop new abilities in your dealings with others, perhaps by using more discipline and maturity.  The 13th, 14th could be decisive.

CONTRACTS about financial concerns or making yourself more comfortable are also possible this month.  The New Moon on the 5th sets a new environment for you to negotiate.  This is a great time to work things out with NEIGHBORS or SIBLINGS.

TRAVEL is also pleasurable this month.  You might travel for love or find love while traveling. Traveling with FRIENDS is also recommended.

HOME/FAMILY can also be quite active.  Communicative Mercury is bringing you insights about your family members and increasing conversations with and about them. Multiple activities can be going on at home, and loads of decisions can be made about your living circumstances, your PARENTS or REAL ESTATE.  If you are off course about something, you’ll realize it around the 21st.  Then, from the 25th on, Venus brings you even more ability to beautify and harmonize your personal life.

Consider, though, that Mercury goes Retrograde from May 26th through June 19th.  That can trigger interruptions in plans about home or family, or spark miscommunications.  So be clear and get some “plan b’s” in place so you can flow with any shifts that happen. But do take advantage of Mercury Retrogrades’ real opportunity: to use interruptions to evaluate if what you are doing with home and family matters truly works for you now.

WORK can be more active as Mars brings gusto and assertiveness to your job and your coworkers.  Use it’s courageousness to go after what you want, impress others with your ability and initiate new dynamics in your routine. Watch that you don’t react to the irritabilities Mars can trigger (in you and/or in others) as arguments or competitions can cause a little fur to fly.
