Astrology May 2020

ARIES You, more than many, are about to get busy with re-assessing your value & you’ve got a lot of energy racing around with regard to your day to day & communication. Though we’re all facing financial upheaval & change around now, you’ll have the ability to shift, be ultra flexible & rearrange things more to your liking around the 7th. You could be calling in some debts, or at the very least, having a glimmer of how to adjust any loans or legal situations you’re surrounded by. By the end of the Month, you should be feeling a bit more “put together” & sorted for now. It’ll also be an excellent time to brainstorm for some new angles & fresh marketing plans, either to put yourself or your business out there in a more efficient & practical way.

TAURUS Happy Birthday guys! Probably not under typical circumstances, but I believe we’re getting a little more grounded in “the new normal” & any form of stability should suit you just fine. Even if things are unsettled, you’re still cosmically favoured & will have some extra energy at your finger tips. In the first couple of weeks, realisations & opportunities for a deepening of your relationships will be a focus, along with any business or work alliances. Toward the end of May, even if you are getting a little busier, you’ll still be feeling a pull to progress any of your Spiritual practices, including your Soul re-evaluating quest! It’s a great time to shift those things to their next level too, so keep that faith & trust strong.

GEMINI Venus, Planet of beauty, love, value, worth & of course finances, will be in your Sign for much longer than the usual stay. This will offer you advantages others may not have for the next few weeks! Along with this, your Ruling Planet, Mercury, will be on fire! So you’ll be communicating even more than normal & you should be able to start busting out some of your philosophical ideas into practical realities, especially with regard to your career. In the second week of May, we’ll start to get a better idea of where we’re going & toward the end of the Month, you’ll have taken a couple of steps on your new path. There may be a bit of too & fro with matters of the heart, but at least there’ll be much debate & discussion to work things through & you always star in these arenas, being in your element, so enjoy!

CANCER There’s better news this Month with regard to finances & you should be moving past any “scarcity anxieties”, into a more philosophical & settled view. Yes, even in this madness! There’s a lot of emphasis on your kids in the first couple of weeks of May, but there’s also great emphasis on romance & any of your creative projects. Inspiration & ideas should abound. Still feeling reflective, you may be among the few who’ve been in their element with focus being at home & with family… if we’re “allowed out”, it might take you a minute to wake up & get back into the swing of things. If you’ve been thinking of taking on a higher learning project or course, that’ll progress well & if you haven’t, it’s a good time to consider doing so. You’re favoured within any groups or associations in May too, so use the energy to your advantage.

LEO There’s quite a lot of heat in your career & work life about now, so as the breaks come off, I imagine you’ll be back out there & helping everyone get up to speed. It may appear counter to our current circumstances, but you’ll be attracting fresh faces & alliances this month, so reach out, network & make new contacts wherever old ones may have fallen away. Though many could possibly still be all doom & gloom, your positive attitudes & optimistic outlook can keep you afloat… don’t let anyone rain on your parade! You may have emphasis on home &/or family for the first couple of weeks, but toward the end of the Month your external world should start to whir & inspire you again. Money matters are set to improve & that, at least, should be music to your ears.

VIRGO Career wise, you’re favoured this Month & though it’s not unusual for you to be sought after for your organisational skills & opinions, you may really turn into Info Central throughout May. I’m sure you’ve had many a great idea about how changes would benefit your work place, so now might be an opportune time to speak up & help initiate any new structural changes, initiatives, practices or procedures. You’ve got a lot of energy in the relationship & partnership areas of your life too & the ability to make a few reboots, fresh starts & new beginnings here. So again, express yourself & be open to new concepts. If you’ve been plagued by any health issues & slow downs recently, things look like they’re moving forward. Good results will start showing up this Month, expect some relief!

LIBRA Your Ruling Planet, Venus, is set to stay in harmonious Aspect to you for a couple of Months now. This is excellent news as She favours good negotiations with regard to love & money. We could call this an airing & ironing out, so be prepared & open to hearing the opinions of others & putting your own thoughts & ideas into the mix too. You should be able to broker some nice compromises where things may have felt stuck or jammed up. Intimacy with romantic partners could prove a hot spot, but at least if you both get talking there’s a good chance of resolution! What you find of value & worth is featured in the first couple of weeks of May. A higher perspective with much hard earned wisdom & awareness is set to pay off.

SCORPIO Much emphasis for you this Month is placed on partnerships of all kinds, business & romantic included. Your strength will be in being able to take a good look into the dark to uncover the deeper perspectives & motivations of others. Take a good look at your own too! I’m sure this time spent out of your routine or in isolation will have shown you a few things you weren’t paying attention to & now your revelations/ realisations can be put to good use. Never one to shy away from complexity, the first half of the Month is likely to shine light on what needs to transform & grow, or what needs to go. This can be applied to structures underpinning love & money & if you’re open to others opinions, constructive debate can lead to realignment & a deepening of your connections. Home life & situations are set to lighten up a little & I’m sure you’ll be glad of that!

SAGITTARIUS Things are shifting & the Universe is dictating that your brakes are set to start coming off in May! Hoorah! Many of you have had an extremely tough time being so cooped up because your usual MO is to be out & about… moving & shaking! You’ll probably be asked to stretch your skill set at work, which won’t bother you at all, you’ll be able to improve & refine in a fresh new way… anything… as long as there’s MOVEMENT, right?! At the start of the Month, you’ve got a lot of energy placed on your Spiritual side, so if we’re all circulating a bit more, you’ll be able to rise up & innovate your belief system with some much craved lively input. New partnerships, be they romantic or business ones, are supported toward the end of May, so plant a few seeds & watch them grow into your New Normal.

CAPRICORN During May, you have a lot of emphasis on your creative side. I imagine many of you are still very work focused, even under current circumstances. If you gear things correctly, you can apply your creative spark here & implement some new, innovative ideas. Romance is also starred, so please make sure you let your hair down, relax & have some fun to balance everything out. All work & no play… as they say! Early in the Month there’s energy for you to tap with regard to networking within associations, organisations & groups & toward the end of May, there’ll be opportunities to improve, refine & reboot your daily routine, including matters of fitness & health. May can see you becoming more rounded in The New Normal & rearranging things more to your liking is possible now.

AQUARIUS Just when we’ll most likely be allowed some of our freedom back, much energy is being placed on your home & family life! As you’re quite used to doing “stuff” the opposite way to others, that shouldn’t bother you much. Perhaps freedom will simply mean that you regain some peace & quiet & a chunk of well needed space at home. Either way, your creativity is set to catch fire & you’ll get a new slant & perspective through many of your friendships &/or social groups. Revelations at work or whatever you do for a crust, will help you get to the core of things at the start of May. If you’ve spent time cooking up new ideas on how you can make cash from any of your creative pursuits, that may start taking shape in June. Focus on how to get the party started now.

PISCES Many will be overjoyed at things shifting & the prospect of returning to work. You, on the other hand, may have settled in very well at home! You’re supported if you’d like to negotiate your work from home stint a little longer, the usual challenge being that you’ll have to stay on top of your structure, discipline & motivation while you’re there. There’s a lot of energy in your sector of higher learning & education in the first couple of weeks of May. If you’ve any ideas for an actual home business, take a look into an education which would enable a glimmer of that now. Toward the end of the Month, you’ve got a New Moon bringing you fresh new energy with regard to your creativity & romantic life, so some fun time might be back on the agenda again Pisces, enjoy!

For those of you who track the path of the Moon, I’ve included the Date, Time, Sign & Degree of both Full & New Moons:

*Moon info is based on local time (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia).

Typically, we read Astro Information based on our Sun Sign, however you can gain much better insight if you read for both your Sun, Rising (or Ascendant) & Moon Signs. You can ascertain these by going to a free Chart calculator (there are many on line now!) & entering your own personal information. Usually, we’re asked for our time of birth & it can prove a sticking point if we don’t know it! If you don’t know your exact time of birth, enter Noon (12:00pm) where asked, & this will serve as a “happy medium”. Take the time to do this (you’ll only have to do it once, not every month) & note the Sign of your 1st House & your Moon Sign. They’re often different from your Sun Sign, but knowing this “trifecta” offers information that’s deeper & more relevant to who you really are. This way, Astrology will start to make a lot more sense to you, personally.
