Aquarius Pisces Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer
Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn

Astrology May 2008 by Benjamin Bernstein

Opportunities for communication and learning will be amplified with Mercury in Gemini 5/2 thru 7/11. SATURN TURNS DIRECT on 5/2, giving new forward momentum to business ventures and other accomplishments. You can use the 5/5 NEW MOON at 15° Taurus for new beginnings in finance, material security, sensuality and immersion into nature. There’s a four-month JUPITER RETROGRADE starting 5/9, shifting some energy from “work your plan” to “plan your work.” May’s FULL MOON is on 5/19, 10:11 p.m. at 29°26’ Scorpio. As always with Full Moons, contemplate how “full-filled” you are -- in this case, with your shared resources. The Sun enters Gemini on 5/20, bathing Earth with the energy of curiosity, communication and eclecticism thru June 20. There’s also a Mars-Venus-Pluto GOLDEN YOD active 5/18-22, inspiring creative expression and relationships. May’s most powerful astrological event comes exact 5/21: a JUPITER-URANUS SEXTILE, strong mid-February thru late June. During this time, Uranus strives to revolutionize religion, spirituality, philosophy, politics, foreign affairs, long-distance travel and higher education. Venus follows the Sun into Gemini 5/24 thru 6/18, a great time to cultivate a variety of mentally stimulating relationships. We experience an extraordinary THREE PLANETARY RETROGRADES WITHIN 18 HOURS starting 5/25, which encourage reflection over action, and can slow down whatever you are doing. CHIRON RETROGRADES for five months starting on 5/25, a good time to reflect on childhood wounds, engage in mentoring, and work on becoming a spiritual “rainbow bridge.” On 5/26, Mercury and Neptune shift into reverse just 27 minutes apart! MERCURY RETROGRADE (thru 6/19) is, of course, infamous for throwing a monkey wrench into communications, technology and travel. On the upside, it’s a wonderful time for introspective reflection and finishing up old projects. NEPTUNE RETROGRADE lasts much longer -- over five months – but will be much less noticeable for most. All three of these newly retrograde planets are in intellectual air signs, so have the courage to weed out those fixed ideas and concepts which have outlived their usefulness. The notorious Venus square Saturn transit challenges relationships on 5/26, but the Venus-Uranus quintile on 5/28 could provide the flash of insight you need to make that relationship better. It can also provide creative types with the “Eureka!” moment they need to inspire their next masterpiece.


HOROSCOPES

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Creativity and relationships (especially those at home) get a boost around the 1st. That months-long sense of energetic restriction also releases around then, allowing you to finally build a good head of steam with your projects. Mark the 10th as a power day for relationships, the 12th for vitality, and the 18th for harmony. The sense of having a good luck angel hovering nearby -- which started mid-February and will last through late June -- peaks around 5/21.

  Return to top.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 22)
Been getting more than your share of relationship challenges? Don’t worry, they should ease up significantly by mid-June. There’s a strong focus on learning and communication through the 20th, after which there’s more focus on domestic matters. Pisceans enjoy spending time in their inner worlds, and you’ll feel especially drawn there 5/9 through 9/8. (This turn within will grow even stronger around 5/26.) You’re now mostly through a powerful period of revolution and paradigm shift, which started mid-February and ends in late June. Have courage, and be willing to follow wherever your intuitive flashes lead!

  Return to top.

Aries (Mar 21 - April 19)
Long-term (the next two years) the opportunity for abundant career success is huge -- as long as you’re open to change! Create a solid foundation for your health during the next two months, since it could be challenged. Monetary opportunities fueled by your own sweat equity are strong the first half of May, while the energetic focus shifts increasingly into learning, teaching, writing and enjoying a diverse array of interests during the rest of the month.  Return to top.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)
May opens with a strong flow of balanced power, with more free-flowing self-expression. The opportunity for unusually deep connection with your romantic partner is enhanced around the 10th. Watch for good fortune coming in unexpected ways around the 18th. The days around the 20th could challenge you with illusion and deception or fill you with divine union and creative inspiration, depending on the strength of your own divine connection. Any significant challenges you face around the 26th have come to help you develop newfound strength within yourself. Opportunities to make money through your own efforts are strongest starting around the 20th.  Return to top.

Gemini (May 21- June 20)
May is heavily front-loaded for you, Gemini! Challenges at home (and within your own psyche) are likely to peak early in the month, then slowly decrease in intensity through mid-June. The days around the 2nd  are best for making a strong public impression. Be prepared for a major challenge on the 3rd, followed by divine flashes of wisdom (the solution to the prior day’s dilemma?) on the 4th. Making a splash is supported again around the 21st and 25th. Finally, be prepared to enter a more reflective period 5/26 thru 6/19.  Return to top.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Powerful relationship transformation has been a major theme since November, and will continue through March 2009. Nurture relationships that catalyze your transformation, while releasing those that slow your evolution from “caterpillar” into “butterfly”. Watch for a significant challenge to your self-esteem around the 10th: can you embody at least the amount of power with which you’re being confronted? The first two-thirds of May are more gregarious, while the rest is well-suited for private withdrawal into spiritual and creative pursuits. Power days include 5/2 for career, 5/8 for high public profile, 5/15 for psychological and domestic matters and 5/22 for relationships.  Return to top.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)
You’ll have lots of energy available for work and accomplishment thru the 20th, after which you might consider focusing more on groups and social activities. Your leadership qualities will shine brightest around the 10th. Watch for an unexpected opportunity around the 12th, followed by possible confusion or deception around the 14th. You could be presented with a significant challenge around the 22nd, with its solution possibly coming via an intuitive flash around the 24th.  Return to top.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)
Through mid-June, you’re more likely to socialize primarily for business reasons or play hermit in your hidey-hole. However, you have consistent support throughout May for your career and for furthering your ambitions. (Career power days are the 2nd, 21st and 25th.) Be prepared to face challenges around the 3rd, 11th & 17th, while you’ll have greater opportunity for enhanced synchronicity, Spirit connection and creativity on the 4th, 14th and 20th. Finally, be prepared to enter a more reflective period 5/26 thru 6/19.

  Return to top.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)
A compulsion toward psychotherapy or transformation in your domestic environment will be especially strong for the next couple of months specifically, and generally through early Spring 2009. In fact, activities such as psychotherapy, research and occult practice are especially supported through 5/20 or so, after which the focus shifts more to travel, higher education and general adventurousness! Business opportunities are strong around the 1st, while unexpected good fortune could pop up around the 18th. Use that strong urge to escape around the 20th for spiritual or creative immersion, rather than drug- or alcohol-induced oblivion. Finally, be prepared for a significant challenge around the 26th.  Return to top.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
Be attentive to relationships of all kinds in very early May, when there’s strong opportunity for powerful, positive transformation. Relationships have magical possibilities around the 19th, but may require adjustment around the 25th. The days around the 9th are powerful for business. Starting around the 20th, pay more attention to matters involving shared resources (investments, committed relationship) as well as psychology and occult practices.  Return to top.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20)
Overall, allow yourself to be a little more reflective and internally focused 5/9 through 9/8. At the same time, May is a very strong month for business and making money! You should feel extra vitality around the 12th, and both creativity and relationships get a boost around the 18th. Power days for relationships also include the 2nd, 20th and 24th. You may have noticed your intuitive flashes increasing since mid-February, accompanied by a sense of acceleration and an embrace of new paradigms. This will peak around 5/21 and continue through late June.

  Return to top.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19)
For the last year, and through March 2009, people can’t help but treat you differently – the power of transformation is radiating from you constantly! Those who embrace change are drawn to you, while those who resist it may be uncomfortable in your presence. You’re green-lighted for good fortune around relationships, creativity and money around the 1st. It hasn’t been easy to get any serious momentum going since late December, but the brakes finally come off on 5/2: now you can put the pedal to the metal!  Return to top.
