May 2011

Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

It must feel amazing to have had so many planets in your sign over the past months, Aries. The challenge being that you also had to spend a lot of time putting out fires. This feeling of everything needing your attention all at once is thankfully morphing into a dramatic way to improve the bottom line; your finances.

You will also see a light turned on regarding loyalty and friendships. Forgiveness is a sacred lesson we are all called to experience in the course of a lifetime. As you process the situation, recognize that there are natural stages which assist the transformation. Don’t get stuck in resentment – it’s not your nature to hold a grudge. Nor does it allow you to move on, which is what needs to happen.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

You have a unique opportunity to walk through an open door this month, Taurus. Yes, we all have free will choice and you may choose not to take action now; just remember the invitations are cyclic, and it will be quite some time before something of this nature presents itself again. You have been patient for so long, quietly working behind the scenes; don’t let the memory of your recent time in the shadows prevent you from stepping out into the light.

The month starts with illumination and just gets better as the days go by. Good news arrives by the 9th. Take time for reflection on the 10th, and be ready to take action by the 16th. The problem here is that you may not fully believe your good fortune. Remember, Taurus; these amazing opportunities don’t come every day, so think carefully about but act quickly.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

It’s all about karma now, Gemini. Subtle forces are sweeping into your life and you have only begun to see the blessings that are coming your way. The changes that come to you now have long lasting impact; just engage in trust and stop to take a breath from time to time. Your mind is racing, and although your natural inclination is to think things through, this is an opportune time to activate your intuition.

You will understand more about the deeper implications of your recent journey in June, when the Solar Eclipse of June 1st initiates a cosmic reset button in your life. Just remember that it’s all GOOD! This month you are clearing out weeds in your garden, and next month you plant the seeds for a new crop. Take time to now enjoy the journey and take time to smell a few flowers along the way.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

May opens up the floodgates for intimacy, Cancer. The planet Pluto which is residing in your relationship sector opens the floodgates for stunning leaps of faith as Venus, Mercury, and Mars enter Taurus by the 15th. You, Cancer, become happy, secure, and busier than ever! These changes are long lasting. I know Cancerians love to be busy, and I know you also love a good snuggle after a delicious meal. I see you fondest dreams fulfilled now.

A gallant proposal comes your way the weekend of the 20th; for some it will be one of marriage, for others the opportunity of a lifetime. The train is leaving the station, Cancer – step aboard and enjoy the ride.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

You now bask in the radiance of sunlight Leo. Neptune changing signs and moving into Pisces illuminates your life like a floodlight. Characters from your recent past now take off their masks to reveal their true identities. Some of the information is surprising; other parts of your revelations only confirm what you already knew.

Act quickly to consolidate recent financial gains, and don’t let over optimism cloud your judgments. You are acutely aware of your bottom line. Remain diligent in holding the reins of your financial future because someone who enters you life now to assist with finances can actually cause a big problem later. The inspiration for this May is ‘Carpe Diem’; and while you’re at it, you show the world what a real winner looks like.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

Maintain your composure and a peaceful state of mind, Virgo. With the Taurus New Moon of May 2nd in a favorable earth sign, you can truly walk in beauty and grace this month. Old battles are laid to rest and the swords are redeemed through peaceful negotiation. Plus, here’s a bit of enticing news; Venus and Jupiter join forces on the 11th in your 8th house of shared resources. Something good and powerful comes from this planetary rendezvous. There is a price to be paid, but you have already done the heavy lifting, and now it’s time to harvest your reward.

The Full Moon of the 17th delivers information that sheds light on an important decision. As the important events of this May develop, you may come to a point of feeling the need for legal advice. Don’t hesitate, as this is the secret strength of this time; you’ll get great advice, which in turn helps you maintain that all important serenity.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

Hold your energy in remembrance that it’s all about the journey, not so much the destination. And, this is a reminder that your journey is blessed by the presence of caring partners. Whether or not you are in a singular committed relationship, you are helped along the way now by other people. In fact, with a multitude of planets still in Aries, relationships are the life blood of your existence, and the message for this month is about understanding what you give and receive within this dynamic.

The Taurus New Moon of May 2nd opens up a door of vulnerability. It’s a journey you must take in order to fulfill the financial promise of the Scorpio Full Moon of the 17th. Follow you inner guidance; friends are good, but this one is about YOU.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

(October 22 – November 21) Strategic partnerships are all around you this month, Scorpio. Reach out near and far, and do it often. May delivers new depth to the term ‘friends with benefits’; just think of this time as harvesting benefits through your friends! And, while celebrating your good fortune, give some serious thought to that new diet and exercise routine – you want to look sharp for the media and YouTube videos.

This is a very high powered month, and you may have a tendency to overdo it unless you pace yourself. You’ll really do best if you set a routine and stick to it. There are many gains to be made, but overconfidence and/or general laziness can and will hold you back. The Full Moon is in your sign on the 17th Each and every day this month is important; you’re a Firewalker now – move with confidence, but pay attention.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

Surely you can take a deep breath as your destiny aligns with what brings you joy. Deep inside we all need to understand our purpose in order to experience fulfillment. The message chimes in loud and clear on the 11th as Jupiter and Venus open the cosmic door to reveal your next project. The New Moon of May 2nd highlights your 8th house which will emphasize what you have to give up in order to take the next critical steps of your journey; but, the illumination brings you joy. It might help to look up the lyrics to the song “You Gotta Serve Somebody.”

The Full Moon of May 17th also opens up a creaking door to your 12th house of karma. Acceptance is the path to serenity. You have a magical ability to inspire others and even bring them happiness as they view life through the windows of your soul. You have gained a cosmic lesson of depth through the earthly realm of loss. The good news is that you are once again free; and this is your greatest blessing.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

Sometimes swinging doors are a good thing because when one door closes, another one opens. And this time, the response within your situation is immediate. You are in an extreme phase of planetary flow and ease – so much so that you may overlook the possibilities. You are provided not only with a strong foundation now, but also the spark of creativity and passion to help you into this next phase.

Sunday the 15th is like a cosmic still point between the in breath and out breath of your creation. This is an excellent day to allow time for reflection – find a quite space and get some meaningful answers from your Higher Self. You are surrounded by love always; but some of you find a new and meaningful face of love on the 23rd. If you’re single and looking, this is definitely the day you can meet someone special.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

Now that Neptune has moved into Pisces, you probably feel as though a light has turned on and you are ready for action. Although Neptune works on a subtle level, its strength is undeniable. Confusion and uncertainty exit and are replaced by a can-do attitude. With the New Moon of May 2nd highlighting your 4th house of home and inner foundation, many of you will be ready to take on an actual change of address. Others find that the job or relationship you have been tolerating for so long is no longer bearable, and move on.

Know that you do so with integrity and the power of contemplation; you have been thinking about this long enough. It’s time to make your move; do so swiftly and without looking back. The more distance you place between yourself and potential detractors, the better, Aquarius; your children may not understand, your parents won’t approve. But, this is your journey, so take it on.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

It’s time to implement all of those great money making ideas you have been visualizing. The irony of this time is that just as you expand into a new field of grand visions, the planet Neptune whispers in your ear saying ‘don’t bother, it’s all an illusion anyway.’ Granted, this is true on one level. But, what are you here for, if not to manifest your dreams?

Your secret ally is a stubborn streak that few people understand. Your other helpers are loyal friends who prompt you to take action when the walls of fear grip your heart. The train is leaving the station, Pisces; are you going to step aboard? The Full Moon of May 17th highlights your 9th house of Higher Mind, travel, and intellectual freedom. The journey takes you afar, but it brings you home to your inner wisdom.
