Forecast for May 8-21
Some of your plans may go on hiatus when Jupiter turns retrograde on May 9 through Sept. 6. Do some soul-searching about your future in preparation for new opportunities coming your way in the fall. N ext, Mars moves into dramatic Leo on May 9, which fires up romance and favors creative ventures. Creativity gets another boost when the Sun dances with lucky Jupiter on the 12th, but you’ll need to keep grounded during a confusing Sun-Neptune square on the 14th. Relationships and financial transactions are energized by a delightful Jupiter-Venus trine on the 18th and the full Moon in Scorpio the next day. Delusions of perfection abound in love during a Venus-Neptune collision on the 19th-20th. Finally, brainpower and travel are emphasized when the sun enters Gemini on the 20th.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that too.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Passion percolates during the full moon, which also revs up your dealings with banks and investors. Your earning power and career objectives get a boost as well-if you can be clear about where you’re headed.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Love flows in your favor, if you can stay centered during an intense full moon. In the finance arena, look for opportunities coming from abroad or through education. Just be clear about your career objectives.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Intimate trysts bring delight, so focus on deepening the connection between you and your partner. The full moon energizes your work projects but can irritate interactions with coworkers; seek a compromise.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
The full moon kicks romance into high gear and energizes your creativity as well. Activities with your significant other and socializing with friends also bring delight, if you can communicate your needs clearly.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Career doors should be opening to you now, but balancing work and family will be difficult during the full moon. Embracing a healthier lifestyle and communicating clearly with your partner are emphasized, too.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Travel and focusing on your spiritual life bring fulfillment now. The full moon intensifies communications. And romance can come through a trip or during a class; think “exotic” when planning a tryst.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Entertaining at home and creating an enticing ambiance show off your artistry. Romance soars, but you’ll need to remove the rose-colored glasses to see love clearly. And the full moon may boost your finances.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You’re a magnet for romance and career opportunities during the full moon. Activities with your significant other bring delight, but a home-related misunderstanding is likely, so be clear about your intentions.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Communing with nature can rev up romance, especially during the full moon, which emphasizes getting in touch with your sexual and spiritual needs. Just be sure you’re not sending mixed messages.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Lucky in love should be your motto now. And if you can avoid an opportunity that’s too good to be true, lady luck may smile on your finances, too. Look for opportunities through social contacts during the full moon.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
If you stay grounded, opportunities to improve your home environment can bring fulfillment now. You may feel the urge to focus on your spiritual life, too. And the full moon energizes career activities.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
The full moon increases your ability to see what the future holds, so heed your intuition. Revealing your feelings (and being eloquent about it) will improve your love life. And the travel bug is giving you the urge to roam.
