The Merry Month of May

The Sun has moved into the calm soothing, nourishing month of Taurus and from what some of you have been telling me it's not happening a minute too soon. Five of the planets we look at are still in go-go-go Aries but I promise you we are going to be seeing a glimpse of the calm we've been hoping for manifesting in the weeks ahead.

In the meanwhile I have some suggestions for how to deal with what's coming up in the near future:

Neptune, the planet of visions and dreams is strong at the first degrees of its home sign Pisces. If you allow yourself to "sleep on it" before you make key decisions you may find your choices are truly divinely guided in the morning.

Next, Uranus, the planet of shock and surprise is at the first degrees of Aries supporting quick action and independent thinking. Let your dreams inspire you and then take action!

Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth is making a positive and empowering connection to the Sun just now. It symbolizes a significant transition from the old to the new. Whether you've been hanging on to old clothes or old heartaches, you wont find a better time for putting them all out on the curb. Simplify your life and focus on what is truly important.

Saturn, the planet of agreements and responsibilities is making a difficult connection to the Sun this month from Libra, the sign of partnership. If you've been sweeping a lot of unspoken resentment under the carpet this winter, spring cleaning is going to call for bringing these issues out in the open. This is particularly true if there has been an assumption that friendship was leading to commitment. Partners true intentions will become obvious now. Taurus is the sign of manifestation so this month we're not satisfied with just hugs and hints, we want to know where we're headed!

Mars, the planet of energy is in Aries until May 11. This means we still have a few more days to clean house and get the car running. Once Mars moves into Taurus we may not feel so ambitious so try to establish some good habits now while you're still inspired!

Venus will also be changing signs mid-month but for now while she moves through Aries a sense of competition and challenge surrounds matters of love and romance. Let this encourage you to do your best but don't become paranoid comparing yourself to others.

Mercury at the last degrees of Aries the sign of fast action and self confidence will be rewarding you to think for yourself - just be careful you don't speak before you think!

Jupiter, the planet of forgiveness and understanding winds up it's visit in Aries, the sign of self interest in May. Another omen encouraging wrapping up the past, releasing and forgiveness.

In brief, this month is the ideal time to trust your dreams and intuition, think and speak for yourself, be realistic about partnership, and establish a routine you can live with - and forgive everyone including yourself! 

And of course, call me to fine tune the whole process ;-)

May all your dreams come true,

Rosada
