Aries (March 21 - April 20)
Did someone say money? Yes, you heard right, Aries, as money will be the name of the game in May. On the 4th, 5th, and 6th, you may find that you can easily add to your income, making life so much nicer as you finally clear up those stubborn bills you never want to talk about. Then, on the 16th and 18th, you'll want to be a bit more frugal with your cash because you'll want to buy several extra rounds for the entire Cantina. You are popular now, as Venus, the planet of love and romance, is still hovering in your sign all month. This makes you attractive to others, so get out there and enjoy it all. Mars is also in your sign this month, making you more aggressive and more willing to take on challenges. Whatever you want to do this month, Aries, it looks like you will do it in style. You're going to look good and feel good now, so don't let anything get in the way of this extra-special time.
Taurus (April 21 - May 21)
With the sun moving through your sign this month, shining on your personality and appearance, you just might find yourself being the center of attention and enjoying every single moment of it. You'll want to try new things and can use your personal appeal to influence others this month. It's a great time to try a new hairstyle, a new look, or to get a complete makeover as you're ready and willing to experience all sorts of newness in your life. Days you'll want to mark on your calendar will be the 2nd, when a nasty Pluto-Venus square can upset the apple-cart over someone or something that's been bothering you of late - and then again, on the 13th, when a retrograde Mercury enters your sign, creating all sorts of fuzzy thinking, leading you to ask yourself if your current involvements are worth it. Stay the course and remain upbeat, Taurus. By the 31st you will be ready to move forward (along with Mercury as it moves direct) and come out the winner by using your famous understanding of all things practical. By the way, have a great Birthday!
Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
It's time to take a breather, Gemini. This is your month for patching up old misunderstandings, clearing away life's debris, and entertaining yourself with some deep-down self-analysis if you can stand to do so. Oftentimes, when we dig deep into our psychic realms, all sorts of unwelcomed intrusions might come bursting to the surface, causing us to slam the door and walk away from such memories as quickly as we possibly can. Of course, this would be the easy way out and nothing would be solved. But on the other hand, if we try our best to deal with these issues, be they painful or amusing, we often find it makes us stronger when we tackle something head on. This is your assignment this month, Gemini. To look deep within. If you don't like what you see, have to courage to "make it right" so that you can finally move on to the next problem and the next problem and the next problem. Isn't this what life is all about?
Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
Fasten your seat belt, Cancer, because once the full moon hits on the 8th, all sorts of relationship issues are going to demand answers in your life. You're going to have two options this month. If your relationship is on solid ground, you'll hardly notice anything amiss. But if your relationship with a certain someone isn't going right, this will be the month when you'll finally start to weasel away gracefully, a little bit at a time. Being a water sign, you have a way of doing this that others may not notice - at first. And this may be all for the good. But by the time the New Moon hits, on the 24th, you'll need to be prepared for getting caught, simply because your mate is watching you like a Hawk and can't help but notice how aloof you seem lately. Whatever happens, relationship changes are definitely in the midst this month and it's time to take a stand if you feel you need to do so. As for your career, this is a great month - so take the lead and dive right in! Follow your heart to fulfill your dreams and goals.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
It's a good time for you Leo! You've got Venus and Mars trining your Sun sign, giving you the energy and drive to tackle just about anything. You'll be looking good, too, as you make contacts with superiors and "those in the know." With all of this energy flowing in your direction, you're going to feel like you can't lose. But if you make decisions without prior consultations, or try to take on more than you can handle, you'll soon notice that you've set yourself back a step or two, causing others to question your rapid fire conclusions.
Just think twice before taking everything on this month, Leo. You're going to feel like you can have it all, do it all, and be it all. But you can't.
Virgo (August 23 - September 23)
Because Mercury is retrograde this month, Virgo, you are going to feel a bit off kilter. So when the e-mails get lost and the mailman doesn't deliver, knowing that your ruler (Mercury) is at the root of these problems should help you adjust much easier than most. It's hard for you when things go askew because you thrive when everything is in perfectly organized order. You despise it when things are cluttered, messy, and disorganized. You'll handle all of this with aplomb if you can remain flexible throughout the month. Try to understand that everyone else is going through this Mercury retrograde stuff too -- and that you are not alone in an untidy world. By the 31st, things will move forward and you will start to feel much better.
Libra (September 24 - October 23)
You'll be feeling quite passionate this month, Libra, as Venus and Mars make their way through your 7th house of intimate relationships. This is nothing to sneeze at! If you are single and looking, get out there as soon as you finish reading this! Spring is in the air and so is romance. If romance isn't your thing this month (and I can hardly believe it isn't!), then you may get caught up in jointly held money and property issues, taxes, savings and personal resources, especially on the 8th when there is a full moon nagging at you to fix your finances once and for all! Clear up any lingering financial issues so that you can move on to more important things like Cinco De Mayo and Memorial Day week-end. It's a wonderful month to get out there and be everywhere.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)
Relationships tense up this month, as your ruler Pluto squares off with Venus. Ego's are in full bloom --and who's right and who's wrong doesn't really matter anymore. What matters is that something must be done. You wisely know that there are misunderstandings and unspoken truths that need further scrutiny, yet you feel as if you are walking an emotional obstacle course in the hopes of keeping everything on an even keel. This won't work. You need to put your strengths into emotional healing and spiritual wisdom now as you (sadly?) allow the chips to fall where they may. Don't put off what you can do today.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)
Work can be stressful this month as fellow employees or new work methods get on your nerves. Take care of yourself and get what's bothering you off your chest early-on. The full moon of the 8th might bring some serious information to the surface about finances. Mercury is retrograde all month long, making for plenty of confusion in this area. Whatever you do, do not take on other people's problems. Nor should you neglect your own health/diet because this is a month when you can run yourself ragged. If you can somehow skate through this month without getting involved in the pettiness of others, you will find by the 31st that you can concentrate on yourself once again and let the others be damned.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)
Did someone mention romance? With the sun transiting your solar 5th house, Capricorn, it's a great time to enjoy life's pleasures, recreations, and hobbies. Your creativity is usually at a peak during the month of May, prompting you to take pen in hand and perhaps finish up that script. If you start now, you will be highly impressed with the outcome in such a short period of time. Group activities of all kinds will also be beneficial this month, causing your leadership skills to be in high demand. Respect limits, know what's possible, and know who's capable. This way you can't lose.
Aquarius (January 21 - February 19)
There's a lot of planetary activity in your 4th house this month, Aquarius, creating a lot of activity at home, within family, within your community, or having to do with parents or elders. You could run the gamut of putting your house on the market or redecorating the old joint like The Taj Mahal if your heart so desires this month. Moving to another abode is not out of the question, either. Whatever happens this month, it will probably have to do with your home base. With Mercury retrograde (until the 31st), it might be prudent to keep your eye on things like old water heaters, old air conditioners or pipes and such. You wouldn't want a water accident in the home! All of this might sound frightening, but remember, Aquarius, whatever happens will never be as bad as it seems with lucky Jupiter transiting your sign this year. Someway, somehow, you'll be able to let the water run off your back whilst looking forward to tomorrow with a little luck in your back pocket.
Pisces (February 20 - March 20)
Communicating will be high on your list this month, Pisces. Mental interests, ideas, writing, meetings and conferences are all spotlighted at this time. However, with Mercury retrograde until the 31st, you may find communications going awry when you least need it. Missed phone calls, missed emails and such can become a problem when you least expect it. Therefore, be on the lookout for computer glitches, etc. It's a good month to expand your mental horizons, too, perhaps by adding to your knowledge via books, movies, documentaries/bio's and the likes. The full moon on the 8th might turn out to be a real doozy, making you overly emotional. But if you confront your repressed feelings, you may find you can deal with them once and for all. All it takes is a little revision, a little attitude adjustment. Dealing with this could open up possibilities you've hardly imagined. This will be a great month to get re-aquainted with the workings of your inner mind.
