May 2016 Astrology forecast
One of the best aspects of the month is on the 3rd, when the Sun in Taurus makes a lucky star or earth trine with Jupiter in Virgo. The Sun is also approaching a trine with Pluto in Capricorn that is exact on the 7th and joining the earth trine is the planet Mercury or The Messenger of the Gods. Now, normally I would say, this is a wonderful time for new beginnings, projects, business and enterprises, but with 5 planets currently in retrograde motion, not so much. This is a slower paced energy, not a time to take action. It is a time to chill out, reflect on your situation, rest and to give yourself a reboot.
The planet Mercury went retrograde or in backward station on April 29th, 2016 at 24 degrees of Taurus. Mercury is also known as the Messenger of the Gods and governs over all forms of communication, commerce, writing and speech. Taurus is a stubborn, fixed Sun sign and does not like to be rushed or forced into anything. With Mercury retrograde in Taurus it can influence people’s lives to slow down and they think about things longer before they reach a decision, so if you insist on an answer during this time it will likely be no. The first 10 days of May, the planets Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all in a retrograde or an off kilter and slowed energy. During a retrograde transit there is a higher than average chance of missed appointments, problems associated with communications, travel chaos, computer crash’s, electronic or mechanical problems and general confusion. That said, Mercury retrograde is a wonderful time for a redo or to finish up projects you have already begun. Before Mercury goes retrograde, back up your files on your computer, double-check your appointments, travel plans and commitments.
On the 6th we have a New Moon Super Moon at 16 degrees of Taurus. This is a good time to attend to your finances and make solid plans for the future. This is also a good time for pampering yourself, relaxing and gardening. Why not enjoy a lovely meal with family or a loved one. Mighty Jupiter stations direct on the 9th at 13 degrees of Virgo which will slowly begin progress in business and areas of life we want to expand. Also on the 9th, Venus and Neptune make a harmonious angle perfect for a romantic evening as well as artistic pursuits such as painting, acting or music. On the 10th, Jupiter makes a lovely star angle with Venus in Taurus. A new love interest or business proposition may present itself at this time. It is also a great day for a date, lovely dinner or a little romance. Venus the planet of love and money is currently in the Earth sign of Taurus until the 24th. Venus in Taurus casts a sensual energy on people and encourages us to indulge in all forms of pleasure such as luxury items, good food as well as things of beauty and beautiful people. This sparkling Venus energy will give the earth signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn extra charisma, charm and allure for the next three weeks. This is a great time to ask for a favor as others will see you as irresistible.
The 13th is a good time for love and romance when Venus at 17 degrees of Taurus makes a harmonious angle with Pluto in Capricorn. People at this time will be more romantic, seek out the finer things in life. This is a perfect time for a romantic gourmet dinner or for pampering oneself. The Sun enters the air sign of Gemini on the 20th switching our focus to matters related to communications, writing, intellectual pursuits, travel as well as siblings and cousins. It is a good time to catch up on networking, errands and is a nice time for a short trip or vacation to an exotic destination.
On the 21st we have a Full Moon at 1 degree of Sagittarius putting an emphasis on worldly pursuits, education and long distance travel plans. This energy may also have some people feeling energized or it may bring a situation to completion. Influencing the Full Moon is Mars who has cozied himself right beside Luna and is in opposition to the Sun. This will give the Full Moon an extra shot of caffeine so to speak. Mars energy can add drama, impatience or urgency to any situation and some of you will be feeling quite anxious on this Full Moon.
Mercury stations direct on May 22nd at 14 degrees of Taurus. Life will begin to get back to normal; however it is best to wait until Mercury leaves its shadow phase on June 9th when it reaches 24 degrees of Taurus to be extra sure. Business, travel and communications will run much smoother at that time. Watch my video on Mercury retrograde for more information on the subject.
On the 24th, Venus enters the Air sign of Gemini. Venus in Gemini can influence our romantic desires, thoughts and intentions. People in general will tend to be fickle as far as romantic interests go and are more likely to be flighty during this time. It is a good time to write poetry and sweet words of love. On the 26th, Jupiter squares Saturn for the last time this year. This could mean a reality check is on the way when these 2 heavy hitters square off. Some of you may realize a big dream will take a lot more hard work than you originally thought. On the 27th Mars which is currently in retrograde motion, enters the serious water sign of Scorpio kicking up the intensity meter a notch or 10.
