Aries
21st March – 20th April
Venus, planet of love and money, is in your sign from the
3rd, so love rivals don’t stand a chance against your competitive edge, and
financial goals are fun for the challenge. Midmonth is the most interesting
time for this, especially if you let go of needing to stay in control of
everything. You feel a new sense of freedom from the 15th, followed
by a highly significant turning point around the 20th, when your
ruler Mars moves forward again for the first time since March. Many situations
might start to run smoothly from then; enhanced by the mega-supportive
atmosphere of the final week.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
The pressures and stresses of last month will keep
lessening as May unfolds. Your ruler Venus enters the most secluded part of
your chart from the 3rd, which suggests sleep, meditation and alone
time will feel pretty attractive to you right now, though there’s a seriously
potent full moon in your relationship chart on the 14th, indicating
change and completion, and that is maybe enough to lose some sleep over.
Whether it’s a high buzz of excitement or a low brooding mood, it’s uncertainty
of the unknown behind it, but that’s something you are increasingly adapting
to, particularly by the final week of May.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
Attention has been squarely on money, resources,
friendship and fun for some time now. Maybe you felt the strain of being pulled
in those different directions, or maybe problems in those areas were more
stubborn than they could have been, but whatever, this month sees a gradual
release of tension or stuckness. Your ruler Mercury is in your sign from the 7th,
followed by the sun on the 21st, indicating a fresh clarity and
sense of stability regarding current circumstances. Friendships are undergoing
powerful change midmonth, and an imaginative new moon on the 28th is
all about a new you.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
There have been some stress and challenges over recent
weeks that have felt immovable or unrelenting, yet there are clear signs of a
smoother road ahead this month. That said, there’s a powerful full moon on the
14th, which suggests tension linked to certain career or
relationship plans so make your goal harmony and co-operation. There’s
significant movement forward on a home and family matter from the 20th
(maybe related to events in March), and the final week (especially 24th)
is about a super supportive environment around you that makes you feel more and
more confident about your current direction and purpose.
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
Like last month, you’re focused firmly on the future but
the difference is what seemed depressingly stuck is becoming flexible.
Therefore a positive outlook is required despite any lingering perceived
limitations so maybe this is easier after a midmonth full moon that challenges
comfort zones and broadens horizons. This especially links to career and travel
plans, but includes any deeply held desire that secretly occupies the spotlight
of your imagination. There’s a big turning point in communication from the 20th
(links back to early March somehow); and then there’s a fabulous final week
with an easier, more supportive environment to nurture future plans (especially
31st).
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Recently it hasn’t been easy to get the ball rolling on
anything, which though frustrating provided a sort of stability just from lack
of movement. But May is giving way to much firmer foundations of faith hope and
clarity, so release thoughts of being held back by circumstances and welcome a
new sense of freedom. Maybe midmonth will be a turning point in this, when you
heed the call to trust the process, then from the 20th you’re
finally ready to move forward regarding finance and resources (this links back
to early March). Final week flows with solid, supportive communication that
heals rifts and mends hearts.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
Mars, planet of action and drive, has been retrograde
(appearing to move backwards) in your sign since early March. This can mean
temporary slowdowns or delays in situations, also reduced desire or motivation,
even tiredness and fatigue, but consider that time to have been an incubation
period for your now emerging self, and as time and energy well spent. From the
20th Mars moves forward again, and before that there’s a clarifying
full moon on the 14th about security and self-worth in both love and
money. Then momentum builds magnificently for the rest of May, suggesting
there’s expansion and opportunity where and when you need it most.
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
The last few weeks have been tough; keeping up with the
changes that haven’t come quick enough, and the changes you didn’t expect or
ask for. This kind of pattern is set to dissipate through May, especially the
final week, when a magnificent planet line-up restores your faith in humanity
and rewards faith in yourself. But before that there’s a full moon on the 14th,
all about not being hard on yourself for anything, and about giving your
nearest and dearest a break too; maybe it was all the stress and pressure of
recent months that made you see things more limited and restricted than needed.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
The tension of being pulled in many directions has been
something you’ve had to get used to in recent weeks. Things feel progressively
more relaxed this month, even with a rather full on full moon on the 14th,
as there’s plenty of support to relieve
pressure, and it’s also a productive time, which means fun and interest for
you; especially from the 20th when situations that have been slow
since March begin to gain momentum. There’s new or renewed love and partnership
symbolised by the new moon on 28th, but choose either scepticism or
faith; you can’t pendulum swing between the two without missing what’s
important to see right now.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
There’s more of an emphasis on moving forward instead of
just adjusting to the sticking points of recent weeks. Midmonth might still be
a bit sticky, as an intense full moon puts any situation under a magnifying
glass that you’ve got your attention on, so make sure your attention is on what
you want, not what you don’t want. From the 20th career and
long-term plans and ambitions gain momentum for the first time since March, and
then a really beautiful pattern of planets align; suggesting strength,
stability, ease, comfort and harmony in partnerships, friendships and
communication.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Though recent months was about challenge, tension and
pressure that you thought you could do without, as the energy now begins to
relax and flow forward again, you might miss the intense concentration and
focus it all stimulated in you. Also, having to dig deep and find more of
yourself to give to a situation has been satisfying and empowering, so make the
most of the times this month (especially full moon on the 14th),
when the opportunity arises again for such powerful growth and self-confidence
to occur. A particularly easy flow and harmony in ambition, resources and
employment is another powerful and consistent experience for May.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
Certain situations are beginning to shake loose and move
forward during May, which is a welcome relief after weeks, even months of being
slow, stuck or delayed. Other situations still require acceptance and your
understanding; meaning if it appears broken, make peace with the break or it
will never mend. There’s a big focus on family and home this month, especially
under the new moon of new beginnings on the 28th, and there’s a
quite beautiful line-up of planets that speak of good support and organisation
where you need it most, including travel, education and matters of the heart.
