May '11 Astrology

Written by Vivienne Moran

GEMINI (May 22- Jun 21)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEMINI! Major life-changing situations can make your Astrological New Year a memorable one. With some effort, it shows you may be able to turn at least one dream into reality. Career/business issues are still a main concern, however you may direct an increasing amount of attention toward creating a more balanced personal life. A feeling of being pulled in several directions may surface, but tends to be workable challenges. It appears for the most part, you will enjoy a fresh agenda. New faces may enter the scene as a gust of fresh air enlivens your social life. Creating more time to circulate and bring more fun into your everyday affairs could become a labor of love. If possible, during the May 3 new moon cycle kick back and relax in preparation for busier times ahead. Scheduling an overdue health check-up is an undertaking you might choose to get off the back burner as May progresses. Tying up loose ends on any existing project can prove to be extremely constructive and especially rewarding.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 21)
A fresh assignment or opportunity enabling you to move in an entirely new career/business direction is a trend that continues to be an undercurrent during much of May. You could experience a stronger sense of security. An invitation to take a leadership role within an organization with humanitarian objectives may come as a surprise with the onset of the May 3 new moon, with a pleasant emphasis on friendships being an added feature. Recreational activities with a hint of romantic intentions become the focal point as May draws to a close.

LEO (Jul 22-Aug 22)
Your popularity is on the rise! You can make strides forward in your career/business objectives during much of May. It is an opportune time to streamline innovative ideas that occupy your mind and put your best foot forward. Recognition or benefits of some kind may be coming your way; walk with confidence and strut your stuff. A pull between home/family responsibilities and outside activities may surface with the onset of the May 17 full moon. A gathering of the “clan” could lead to a better understanding of everyone’s needs; warm and friendly overtones are apparent.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)
The month of May tends to an exceptionally good time to broaden your horizons in every way possible. Undertaking a new course of study, pursuing a creative hobby, or meeting with people from a totally different background tends to be satisfying on some level. Whether for business or pleasure, travel can serve as an interesting learning tool. Casual conversations with others during the May 17 full moon period tend to have an emotional depth that can make discussions more important than they seem initially. Your words can have a powerful impact if they are aligned with your intentions.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23)
The theme during the opening weeks of May continues to be centered on partnerships, legal matters, and connections to the public in general. You are apt to be tending to all types of relationship issues that have financial overtones. A series of events requiring major decisions is likely to awaken innovative thinking patterns. More so than usual you are able to put original ideas to practical use. A financial matter may be finalized during the May 17 full moon phase. Energies shift as the month progresses. Acknowledge your curiosity for new experiences; travel and studies may take on importance.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)
Expressing a more sensitive response than usual toward the needs of others is emphasized during the May 3 new moon cycle. Loved ones and partners feel more important to you than usual; they seem to provide you with a strong sense of security and support. A protective instinct accompanies this trend. The emotionally charged full moon in your sign on May 17 sends out a signal urging you to be a good listener, and it appears to have its benefits. Financial overtones enter the picture as the month progresses. Joint venturing with another could become a worthwhile consideration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21)
If having fun has been a top priority on your list of things to do recently, you might choose to hang up your party hat and tend to business this month. May appears to be a busy time with work demanding more attention than usual or having a pile of errands and household tasks to tend to. Physical fitness issues may also vie for your attention. It is an appropriate time to put medical or dental appointments on your calendar. A low energy period is possible with the onset of the May 17 full moon phase. If you have been traveling in the fast lane, step to the side and take time to relax.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)
The domestic scene may still be lively, however the opening weeks of May seem to be an ideal time to briefly set aside demanding household issues and exercise your creativity with fun types of projects. Your appreciation of the arts, music, and poetry are stimulated as well as hobbies that nurture your own artistic abilities. Give your imagination free reign. Affairs of the heart, including children, are also favorably accented. Energies shift mid-month as on-the-job projects come into focus. Whether on the home front or in the work place, reasonable goals seem to be within reach.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18)
It seems you have been on the move physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Communications continue to be enlivened. Your mental processes should be relatively clear. Use this ability to effectively get your point across to others. You are apt to turn your attention toward home and family during the opening weeks of May. A reorganizing project may be on your agenda. There’s a wide range of possibilities; a residential move or simply cleaning out a closet might be in your plans. A trip down memory lane as you sort through belongings can bring back pleasant thoughts.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20)
Money matters may be on your mind, and the communicative influences that radiate from the May 3 new moon support your efforts to make improvements. Innovative ideas flow generously, however a cautious and practical approach appears to work best if searching for new sources of income. The tempo of your everyday life quickens during much of May. Staying in closer touch with relatives and neighbors frequently may become appealing. Short trips to nearby places of entertainment or recreation can be a good outlet for any restlessness that may surface.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)
It seems this time frame may be all about your hopes, wishes, desires, and personal needs. A lineup of planets continues its journey through your sign during the opening weeks of May. It is an advantageous time to put your best foot forward and welcome fresh opportunities and even workable challenges. Your confidence level should remain heightened, enabling you to perform tasks with the greatest of ease. Your monetary picture takes on a rosy glow mid-month. You may reap enriching rewards from past efforts. Financial negotiations tend to run in your favor; investments can be profitable.
