Written by Vivienne Moran | 30 April 2009

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEMINI! Your higher mind is awakened and thirsty for fresh experiences and advanced knowledge during your personal new year. Becoming more familiar with other cultures or new philosophies can be stimulating. Travel is also featured and can serve as an adventurous learning tool or can be on the agenda strictly for pleasure. Business activities related to publishing, lecturing, teaching or law may hold your attention. Benefits coming from past achievements may surprise and delight you. Birthdays can be very special; an advantageous time to take center stage and show case your talents or products. However, communications are below par from May 7 until the 31st. Delays, errors of omission, misinterpretation and other complications might hamper your progress. This can still be a very productive period; use this time frame for review rather than trying to move forward. Rethink programs or plans, make creative changes if needed and tie up loose ends in preparation for presentation next month.   

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 21)

Affairs may seem to move a little too slowly for your comfort during much of May however, this brief interlude can work to your benefit.

Alone time or cozy evenings at home with family can be refreshing. 

LEO (Jul 22-Aug 22)

A long term trend regarding money matters and your attempt to shore up financial foundations is once again the focal point during the opening weeks of May. If you have had to curb your natural generous impulses periodically, you will soon see positive results from your efforts. Fresh energy brings to life partnerships you are involved in, personally or professionally. Joining forces with another appears to be a profitable venture. This is a suitable time to review long term goals. As May moves along you may want to put business aside and share fun times with friends. Travel is pleasantly noted.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 23)
