MAY 2012 FORECASTS 

Aries –  This month finds you flitting about like a hummingbird, dear Aries.  Mercury is moving quickly through your first house through the 3rd, indicating much coming and going, networking and brainstorming.  Most of this may show up in your work life, where Mars is also direct and making waves.  This could be the busiest month of the year so far.  But don’t sweat too much – a financial reward may be coming out of all this craziness.  A new job or a raise could make this month extra sweet.

Taurus –  The spotlight is shining brightly on you, dear Taurus. With the Sun sitting your sign and positive aspects from Mars in the 5th, May could turn out to be a romantic month.  Luxurious gifts and birthday surprises make you feel extra special!  Pay special attention to your health – this is not the month to overindulge or push your luck.  If you pack on a couple of pounds from too much birthday cake, you may have a heck of a time taking it off later – and only yourself to blame!

Gemini –  If your love life has been lackluster, this month promises a shift, dear Gemini.  Venus is transiting your sign right now and this could bring an improvement in an otherwise ho-hum situation.  Single?  You may meet a new partner.  Married?  Your inattentive spouse may be making some time to whisper sweet nothings in your ear.  But beware – Venus also goes retrograde mid-month, which could bring mixed signals and miscommunications.  In other matters, family and home is keeping you busy.  Can you manage it all?

Cancer –  May is the beginning of a highly social time for you, dear Cancer. And no one deserves it more than you!  You’ve had a lot on your plate – and on your mind.  Now is the time for some much needed fun.  Your 11th house is lit up with the Sun and Jupiter, signifying invitations, nights out on the town and perhaps a party or two.  It’s time to let your hair down and enjoy the beginning of summer.  Pay attention to communication issues at work – be clear but keep the aggression down to a dull roar.

Leo –  This is a great month for career, dear Leo.  With the Sun and Jupiter sitting in your 10th house, you have extra star power!  This is your chance to step forward and claim your brilliance.  No more hiding behind any one else – toot your horn and toot it loud!  Finances see a boost but with Mars in your 2nd house, the temptation to spend is too much.  If you are not mindful, you may end up spending all the extra dollar bills.  Focus on a bit of frugality and you’ll get ahead.

Virgo – You are making so much progress on your work now that Mars is direct in your sign, dear Virgo. After months of stop and go, it’s all go, go, go in May!  You’ll be completing tasks in record time and everyone will be patting you on the back for a job well done.  They aren’t aware of all the toil behind the scenes that you have been actually doing for months.  Soak up the praise and keep at it.  You are closer to making your goals a reality.  Travel possibilities are beginning to crop up – time to plan for that summer getaway.

Libra –  You have been needing more rest than usual, dear Libra.  And it’s been hard to honor that at times.  But Mars in the 12th is demanding that you slow it down.  It’s time to chill, relax and put your feet up.  Let your evenings be about down time, not party time.  Are you being kind to yourself emotionally?  Or are you still dogging yourself for a situation that didn’t work out?  May requires you to be extra compassionate to yourself.  Perhaps a small get a way at the end of the month is just what you need.

Scorpio -  Friends may prove to be unreliable this month, dear Scorpio.  Hidden aggression or jealousy may catch you off guard.  Try not to let this ruin a good friendship – play it cool and let any storms blow over.  Work promises to be abundant so perhaps it is best to lose yourself in your work rather than worry about petty quarrels.  Romance is steady and stable for those Scorpios who are partnered.  For single Scorps, it may be time to meet someone who has their act together.

Sagittarius –  Lady luck is smiling on your 6th house of work and health, promising good vibes in both those areas, dear Sagittarius.  Health goals seem within reach and work is more fulfilling. Mars transiting your 10th house gives the career an extra boost.  You have more clout with superiors and may find yourself in a leadership position.  Mid month, you’ll  need to pay attention to a few backstabbers in the midst.  They may be smiling to your face but have other motives.  If you feel someone is full of it, you may be more right on than you imagine.

Capricorn -  A dreamy month for romantic rendezvous, syrupy love letters and nights of passion.  With Jupiter and the Sun traveling through your 5th house of romance, May could be a lover’s paradise.  This is the right time to arrange for a surprise get away for you and your honey.  Can’t get out of town?  No problem – a romantic dinner and a quiet night at home may be all that you need to get those sparks flying.  A flirtation at work could lead to misunderstandings.  Keep the romance out of the office and at home where it belongs.

Aquarius –  Time to visit with the family more, dear Aquarius.  Your 4th house is getting a boost from the Sun and Jupiter.  If you’ve been neglecting mom, this would be a great month to make her Mother’s Day extra special.  A brunch or a present could brighten her spirits and strengthen your bond.  Love life is smoother sailing now that Venus is transiting your 5th house of romance.  Your partner may begin to show you more affection or let you know how much you mean to them.  Return the favor and be demonstrative.  The more kindness you show your loved ones this month, the better for you.

Pisces –  The power of self expression is strong for those born under the sign of Pisces.  With the Sun in your 3rd house along with Jupiter, you may be brimming with creative ideas.  It’s hard to sleep with all that going on….so you may not get your shut eye.  And that may lead to you being extra snappy with loved ones and coworkers.  Although you usually keep your temper in check, May could find you being a bit prickly.  Mars is direct and ripping through your 6th house – which may make you feel like ripping someone else a new you-know-what. Chillax!
