Forecast for May 19-June 1
By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times
The array of Taurus influences continues to energize all things practical and physical. From the 20th-23rd, a compelling conjunction involving Mercury, Venus and Mars in the sign of the bull will either intensify your willpower or prompt you to overindulge in something pleasurable. Taurus is all about natural beauty, too, making this an excellent time to enjoy the great outdoors. Socializing and artistic pursuits are favored as well, especially on the 23rd. What’s more, some positive connections from Pluto can assist with financial decisions and transactions.
The focus on physicality gets an intellectual lift, however, after the sun transits into brainy Gemini on the 21st. Just watch out for some mental fogginess from the sun-Neptune square on the 22nd. And the new moon eclipse in Gemini on June 1 connects beneficially with Saturn, which favors expanding your knowledge, networking with contacts and promoting your ideas.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that too.
