ARIES: Make sure you are heading into May with the intention to do something bigger or further when it comes to your income, possessions or purchases (within your own abilities and limits, of course)! It’s a powerful time to go for it, ‘eclipsing’ out anything that is in the way of a better future here. You have until the 14th to do your work over these matters if you want momentum for the rest of the year. There will be 2 days to watch, the 10th and the 28th, when it comes to earnings, purchases and possessions. The 10th will bring another person into the mix and you will need to balance what is going on with the divorce proceedings, sexual attractions or issues, third party situation, or the major financial interests like a loan, the debt, an inheritance, bankruptcy, insurance policy, the taxes, commissions, settlement, investments, alimony, child support, or partner’s money. This day will be serious, a day when you may want to structure things differently, end something, commit long term, or make an ambitious play. The 28th stands out because it is the day that Venus moves into Taurus, her sign, and will smooth some things out or bring a woman who can benefit your aims when it comes to income, purchases or possessions. This will mark the beginning of several weeks when you have an easier time of it or when it feels so good here you don’t have much motivation, or when love is expressed through these topics. Before Venus takes up residence in this part of the chart, she begins the month of May on the 2nd with a move into Aries. She will hold court here from today through the 28th. That means that most of May will be all about the warrior woman, the courageous women, the angry women, the passionate women, and women who are going to aggressively go for what they want when it comes to love or income. When it’s not about the women it is just about more activity around making money or pursuing love. It will be about the chase, the conquering, the battle for the prize. Taurus: May is your month, Taurus, so prepare to hit the ground running. The Solar Eclipse New Moon in your sign is still going strong so you want to use the first 2 weeks to really charge ahead when it comes to your personal needs, what you want to achieve with your body, image or brand, as well as anything pertaining to your name, title or identity needs. It is powerful energy around ‘eclipsing’ out the old and taking things to the next level. 2 days will stand out for you about these needs and that is the 10th and 28th. On the 10th you will be one on one with someone important regarding commitments, endings, structures, limits, or ambitions in the mix. It’s a day to get real about the direction you are taking. The 28th is when Venus will come on board and help smooth things out over the next few weeks or bring women, love or income flow to what you are trying to do in some beneficial way. Before Venus gets busy with these themes she will work for you behind the scenes from the 2nd through the 28th. Here she may bring a beneficial female or good things happening with the love or money.  The areas she will work best will be in film, music, art, spiritual pursuits, healing, hospitals, research, investigations, romantic getaways, recuperation, dreams, and development. Gemini: May is starting out with a bang with that Solar Eclipse New Moon just getting underway for you and pushing you to move things along when it comes to what you are doing behind closed doors, in development, with research, over time you take to pull back, rest up, connect with your muse, center your spiritual practices, paint, play music, work on film or artistry, have some romantic time, or focus on healing and hospitals. You can take things to the next level or find some new direction with these matters by ‘eclipsing’ out anything here that is past it’s due date and seeking what’s next. Two days will stand out for you over these themes, the 10th and the 28th. On the 10th you will be in there one on one with someone over serious work, health, paperwork, or animal needs. This is a day for commitments, endings or getting real about structures or ambitions. The 28th is when Venus moves into these arenas bringing a woman, the love or the income to what you are doing artistically, spiritually, romantically, in research, with healing, or hospitals. This should help smooth things out over the weeks ahead. Venus moves into Aries on the 2nd which means you will see at least one important female friendship step up for some reason. It will begin a period when love and income will flow more easily with friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, at gatherings, or tied to your original ideas.  You should find this a socially enjoyable period when you see things smooth out and flow. Cancer: May begins with you already in full force riding that New Moon Solar Eclipse energy in your social quarter and it is going to give you added momentum through the first 2 weeks of this month. That means you should be moving forward, forging new territory or taking things to the next level when it comes to your aspirations, friendships, group affiliations and activities, charities, parties or gatherings, causes, inventions, original ideas, freedom, and new approaches. It is a time to ‘eclipse’ out the old that holds you back and move into what calls you forward. Two days will have impact here in specific ways and they arrive on the 10th and 28th. On the 10th you will be one on one with someone over serious needs on the creative front, with your love life or lover, with children, or over recreational interests. This is when you need to make commitments or mark endings or structure things in a more solid way. The 28th will be when Venus shows up to smooth things out, bring women into the picture that can benefit (i.e. perhaps a new female friend), or it will be when you find that love and income matters are going swimmingly within these social and aspirational areas. Venus will work her magic here for a few weeks so enjoy. Before Venus can get to all this good social activity for you, she will move into Aries on the 2nd and spend the month up until the 28th influencing your career, major goals, reputation, fame, and dealings with authority figures like the parent, boss or judge. That means you are in a favored position in these arenas and will see women who may benefit your aims here as well as the love and money flow moving along smoothly. Use this time to enjoy the flow and to pour on the charm. Leo: Fresh new goals, a fresh start on the career horizon and new beginnings with authority figures like the boss, parent or judge, is what May is offering from the get-go thanks to the New Moon Solar Eclipse at the end of April. This means you have more momentum than usual to launch into new territory or take things to the next level and it will come from ‘eclipsing’ out something that you are past now to move into this new light. There will be 2 days that have specific impact on these themes and these fall on the 10th and 28th. The 10th is when you will be one-on-one with someone over serious topics about home, real estate, moves, renovations, family, parents, roommates, or security needs. It will be important to look at commitments, endings, structures, or ambitions in the mix and get real about where you are and where you are going. The 28th is when Venus moves into this part of the sky and begins to smooth things out, help you attract what you need and possibly bring a woman onto the scene who is beneficial to your aims or attracts the love or money you have in mind. Before Venus gets into this action at month’s end, she is moving into Aries on the 2nd and will spend most of the month up until the 28th helping smooth things out and attract the love or money flow through legal channels, media, marketing, publishing, broadcasting, travel, education, or weddings. Women should be more beneficial here as well, so plan on enjoying something here and furthering the aims that attract you. Virgo: The New Moon Solar Eclipse at the end of April is still propelling you into new territory or pushing you to take things further when it comes to legal needs, travel, foreign interests, beliefs, religion, politics, media, broadcasting, marketing, publishing, education, or weddings. This is going strong for the first 2 weeks of May and will urge that you ‘eclipse’ out what is no longer serving you or in the way to making headway into this new paradigm via these themes. There will be a couple days that stand out with these matters and they arrive on the 10th and 28th. The 10th will be when you are one-on-one with someone regarding agreements, sales, offers, meetings, siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, writing, or decision in the mix. You will want to get serious about it and look at commitments, endings, structuring, or ambitions. The 28th is when Venus arrives here to help smooth things out in the weeks ahead and to possibly bring a woman on board who is beneficial or turn the favor of love or income in the mix. Before Venus focuses her charms on these matters at month’s end, she will be moving into Aries on the 2nd and spending from now through the 28th attracting or smoothing things out for your sex life, divorce proceedings, financially shared needs, mortality issues, reproductive needs, or third party situations. Things should go more easily and this bodes well for a love/passion connection or for finding income and loans, inheritance, bankruptcy, insurance, taxes, alimony, child support, investments, or a partner’s money in flow. Libra: The New Moon Solar Eclipse that ended April is still in full force as you begin May and will propel you forward into new territory or take you to the next level when it comes to your sex life, reproductive needs, divorce proceedings, mortality issues, power struggles, third party situations, or in any major financial interest you wish to pursue. This is 3 times stronger than your typical once a year boost in these areas so whatever you would like to ‘eclipse’ out to make way for this fresh start and whatever you need to start now to see better results in these areas, do so between now and the 14th.  Two days will stand out over these themes; the 10th and the 28th. On the 10th you will be one-on-one with someone regarding any serious income, possession or purchasing need. You want to get real about commitments, endings, structures, or ambitions in the mix. On the 28th Venus moves into this arena and will begin to smooth things out over your sexual, divorce, financial, third party, and power needs. A female may benefit your aims here now or there may just be easier access to the love or money flowing around these themes in the weeks ahead. Before Venus gets all busy in these matters she will do her part in the first part of the month regarding your key relationships. So from the 2nd through the 28th you will see things smooth out a bit with partners in business or romance as well as with agents, attorneys, clients, specialists, and even the opponents out there. You may have a woman take on one of these roles and benefit you in some way or that you can now more easily express the love or see the income manifest. Scorpio: May opens up with the momentum of the April New Moon Solar Eclipse in your relationship zone and will stay in the strong forward motion through the 14th. That means you are in the best period of the year to ‘eclipse’ anything out that is in the way of you moving forward into new territory or taking things to the next level with a business partner, romantic partner, agent, attorney, specialist, client, opponent, or other key player. There will be 2 days that stand out regarding these people, they fall on the 10th and 28th. On the 10th you will be one-on-one with that other person or about them and it will be serious. You should look at commitments, endings, structures, or ambition in the mix and anything going on around finances, sex, divorce, or third party interests. On the 28th Venus moves into this territory and will begin to smooth things out. She may bring a female who takes on the role of partner, rep, client, specialist, etc., and will be there to benefit you in some way, or you will see her presence here as more love or income flow. Before Venus takes up residency here at month’s end she will be helping out with work, paperwork, health, or animals between the 2nd and 28th. This means women again may benefit or you may see love or income flow more easily here. A female co-workers or someone you hire may be helpful to your health or job, or she may assist in getting the paperwork signed or pets cared for, all good. Sagittarius: May opens with powerful energy pushing to you move things to the next level or push into new territory when it comes to work, paperwork, co-workers, health needs, or animals, thanks to the New Moon Solar Eclipse at the end of April. You have until the 14th to motivate here and to ‘eclipse’ out anything that stands in the way of you reaching this year’s goals for the direction you want to take. Two days up ahead will stand out regarding these themes and they arrive on the 10th and 28th. On the 10th you will be one-on-one with someone over serious matters regarding isolation, depression, retreat, recuperation, addictions, healing, hospitals, spiritual pursuits, film, music, art, romantic getaways, or what you have in development. This is a time to look at commitments, endings, structures, or ambitions in the mix. On the 28th Venus will move into these areas to help smooth things out, bring any beneficial women onto the scene, or help you attract the love or money through efforts here. Before Venus gets busy at month’s end in these areas she will move into the areas of love, kids, creativity, and fun on the 2nd and stay through the 28th. That means women may benefit what you want here or that you may just more ease and attractive qualities playing out around love or money flow with children, over creative efforts, in your love life, with your lover, or in recreational pursuits. Capricorn: The first 2 weeks of May are all about pushing forward on the New Moon Solar Eclipse energy from the end of April in your house of true love, children, creative projects, and fun. That means you have the best momentum of the year right now to put things in motion that can ‘eclipse’ out the old and make way for what you want to see manifest in these areas up ahead if you are proactive and do what you can to step in the right direction. Two days stand out when things will amp up over one or more of these themes and they arrive on the 10th and 28th. On the 10th you will be one-on-one with someone over serious aspirations or something involving a friend, group, the internet, astrology, a charity, gathering, invention, freedom, or originality. This is about getting real and looking at commitments, endings, limits, structures, or ambitions in the mix. On the 28th Venus enters the picture and she will help smooth things out over these next weeks, bringing women who can benefit your needs with kids, love, creative efforts, or fun, or Venus here will help attract the love or income more easily. Before Venus gets active here at month’s end she will move into Aries on the 2nd and tour here through the 28th. This means during this period you will see things smooth out at home, with real estate deals, moves, renovations, roommates, parents, or family, or you will see a woman show up who can benefit your needs here or more love or income flow to be grateful for in the mix. Aquarius: New Moon Solar Eclipse energy from the end of April propels you through the first 2 weeks of May with added mojo to make things happen at home, with moves, renovations, real estate deals, family, parents, or roommates. You can ‘eclipse’ out what no longer works to move into new territory or take things that are working to the next level. Two days stand out around these themes and they arrive on the 10th and 28th. On the 10th you will be one-on-one with someone over serious needs involving goals, career, reputation, an authority figure like the boss, parent or judge, or your ambitions. Look at endings, commitments, structures, or limits. On the 28th Venus moves into these matters and will bring women who benefit your aims, smoother sailing here and an ability to attract the love or money to what you are doing, pour on the charm. Before Venus gets busy at the end of the month in these matters she will move into Aries on the 2nd and focus on your talks, agreements, meetings, offers, writing, sales, short trips, siblings, neighbors, local activities, vehicles, and electronics from now through the 28th. That means that women may benefit what goes on here or that again there may be more easily attracted love or money through efforts you make now. Pisces: Getting those meetings underway, entering into talks, fielding offers, writing, interviewing, auditioning, making proposals, signing agreements, making sales, negotiating terms, taking short trips, getting more locally involved, or amping things up with brothers, sisters, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, and decisions will be what pushes you forward the first 2 weeks of May. That is because these areas are where the New Moon Solar Eclipse at the end of April gave you a major boost and will help you ‘eclipse’ out the old to move into this new territory or help you move to the next level in matters that are still working for you. Two days will stand out when these themes are important and they arrive on the 10th and 28th. On the 10th you will be one-on-one with someone over serious legal, travel, educational, wedding, media, marketing, publishing, religious, or political themes. Look at commitments, endings, structures, or ambitions here and get real. On the 28th Venus moves into these areas so a woman may step up who is beneficial or you may just see the love or money flow more easily around travel, legal, wedding, educational, media, marketing, publishing, political, or religious needs. Before Venus can get all busy helping you in those areas she will tour income, possessions and purchases in your chart between the 2nd and 28th. This means you will see some smoothing out around earnings, purchases and possessions and again may see that women are beneficial to your aims here or that you love what is going on or see money flow more easily.
