Each month I will guide you through the planetary movements and explain them in detail. Some months will have more astrological events than others but there will always be universal movements that will affect you.

What’s going to happen in May 2012?

There is a Full Moon in at 16 degrees of Scorpio on May 5th . If you were born with any planets at 16 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Cancer, or Virgo, those planets will be energized favorably. Matters governed by those planets will tend to go more smoothly.

If you were born with planets at 16 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius, those planets will be energized stressfully. Matters governed by those planets will have to be dealt with more cautiously. Full moon in Scorpio is very powerful for all. It literally intensifies everything. Be careful of your anger and others. Not a good time to push people’s buttons. Try to lay low.

There is a New Moon in the first degree of Gemini on May 20. If you were born with any planets in the first degree of Leo, Libra,
Aquarius, or Aries, those planets will be energized favorably.

Matters governed by those planets will tend to proceed with greater ease. If you were born with any planets in the first degree of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces, those planets will be energized stressfully. Matters governed by those planets will require extra attention and care.

New moons in Gemini stimulate communication of all sorts. So now’s the time to speak up. This New Moon is an eclipse. That intensifies the effect of the New Moon. Pay extra attention to where it hits in your birth horoscope.

On Tuesday, May 1, Mercury semi-squares Neptune. Double-check all communications. Things could be said now that are not real – or later people will say they never said that.

On Thursday, May 3, Mercury sesquasquares Mars. Watch out for minor arguments in the morning.

On Thursday, May 3, Mercury sextiles Venus. This adds charm to speech. Time to call your partners and be romantic with words.

On Saturday, May 5, Mercury opposes Saturn. This can delay transportation and communication. Allow extra time for travel. There could be a tendency now to look on the negative side so for sure today would be the day to find that silver lining.

On Thursday, May 10, Mercury sextiles Neptune. This stimulates your mind in a very creative deep way. If you are a writer get to it now. If you are a reader then find some fantasy to read about. It will be more interesting now.

On Sunday, May 13, Mercury trines Mars increases mental activity. You can have the courage to make that important call today.

On Sunday, May 13, Mercury semi squares Venus. You may have the courage to make that important call (because of the Mercury trine Mars happening earlier in the day), but don’t forget to be polite.

On Monday, May 14, Mercury trines Pluto. Now would be a good time to investigate and find out all the hidden facts of whatever you were wondering about. Your words could be more powerful today.

On Monday, May 14, the Sun sesquasquares Pluto. Watch out for people trying to pressure you. Keep it light.

On Tuesday, May 15, Mars semi squares Saturn. Focus your energy today – don’t try to take on too much – you will only drain yourself.

On Tuesday, May 15, Venus goes retrograde until June 27. Don’t get married during this time. It won’t necessarily be a disaster, but you will have extra problems. Venus rules Taurus and Libra so at this time those signs will be getting their personal retrograde. Which means they will feel pretty miserable most of the time.

Things will not go smoothly for them and they will feel like they look terrible too. If you know any Taurus’s or Libra’s be extra specially nice to them now. They need you now. Their energy is low and they need all the hugs they can get. Also it is not a good time to begin a new art project – including music – so lay low there too. If you began one before this retrograde started then you can keep going. Try not to make yourself feel better by eating sweets Taureans! You’ll regret it when Venus goes forward.

On Wednesday, May 16, Mars trines Pluto. Energy increases. This is a good time to do jobs that require extra strength and persistence.

On Thursday, May 17, Jupiter sesquasquares Pluto. Your judgment may be off now. Don’t overcommit yourself.

On Sunday, May 20, Mercury semi squares Uranus. You can see things from different angles now. Unfortunately, it may be from the wrong angle. Look before you leap. Think before you speak.

On Sunday, May 20, the Sun enters Gemini. Happy Birthday Gemini! The Sun in Gemini is a very nice time on planet Earth. People are communicating nicely and everyone wants to have a good time so enjoy!

On Monday, May 21, Mercury sesquasquares Pluto. No, today is not a good day to tell your boss what you think of them. Control yourself. Read a mystery instead.

On Tuesday, May 22, Mercury conjuncts Jupiter. Thinking big is favored now. Unfortunately, this overlaps with tomorrow’s Sun square Neptune aspect. Double check those plans before you put them into action.

On Wednesday, May 23, the Sun squares Neptune. Fantasies can be nice, but not when you think they are real. Watch out for con artists today.

On Friday, May 25, Mercury squares Neptune. This is great if you are writing poetry. It’s terrible if you are trying to deal with facts.

On Sunday, May 27, the Sun conjuncts Mercury. Now is a good time to check the work you did two days ago with those Neptune squares.

On Sunday, May 27, Mercury sextiles Uranus. Now you can see things from a new angle, and it will likely be the right angle.

On Monday, May 28, Mercury sesquasquares Saturn. Others may not agree with those new ideas you came up with yesterday. Don’t get frustrated. Take time to persuade.

On Monday, May 28, the Sun sextiles Uranus. Do something new and interesting today.

On Tuesday, May 29, the Sun sesquasquares Saturn. Stick to routine today. Do some of those dull tasks that you have been putting off.

On Wednesday, May 30, Mercury squares Mars. Watch out for a tendency to drive fast today. Tempers are shorter as well.

A note about Neptune in Pisces - The planet Neptune went into Pisces on February 3rd and it will stay there for the next 14 years. This is a big change that is affecting people of all signs. This movement of Neptune into its own sign Pisces will make people feel more idealistic and more dreamers will emerge.

It is a great time for film makers and all of the artistic and spiritual people. As this oceanic current shifts people’s awareness their feelings may change without them even being aware that this is happening.
