It’s time to complete projects, tie up loose ends, and turn toward your inner life and future. Jupiter’s mid-month entrance into Taurus is like having a guardian angel sitting on your shoulder for the period to come, and it’s telling you to patiently consider where you are and what you really want. Life will speed up as May winds down.
Don’t be a hermit this month. Your planets favour contact, new horizons, and fresh dreams—at least until the latter part of May, when you’ll feel a need to recharge your batteries. You’ve been through many ups and downs for the last few years, but the planets are shifting, and so are your options. Venus is drawing admiration your way.
You’ll be forced to play something of a waiting game until the middle of the month, which will work in your favour before you make crucial decisions. Two major planets are on the move, and you’ll be in a more propitious position to achieve your aims. After the 20th, Mars will initiate a period of intense activity and new success.
Your ruling planet, Mercury, will be out of phase until the 15th, so you may experience frustration, yet you appear to be winning others over and negotiating new understandings. Distant connections are likely to play a powerful part in current events for you, and once Mars enters Leo on the 20th, you’ll be more effective if you avoid the spotlight.
Venus moving to the top of your solar chart by the 7th draws the right kind of attention your way. Be a strategist this month: You’ll have a chance to enter into arrangements that will prove very favourable. It’s also time to expand your social and professional horizons and acquire new skills. Be ready to calm troubled waters when others clash.

Close relationships are in focus as the Sun travels through the sign of Taurus, and with Jupiter entering the scene on the 16th, you’re starting a period of greater harmony and ease. The trick is being able to gracefully receive what others will be offering. Mars entering royal Leo on the 20th also signals a period of greater ambition and output.
Your planetary ruler, jovial Jupiter, will be entering a new sign mid- month, marking a shift from a more freewheeling approach on your part to a more focused and results-oriented phase. While you’re switching gears, close relationships are going to be entering an especially important phase near the 21st, so be ready to tune in and make some adjustments.
May will be a changeable month for Capricorns, so be flexible. Mars in Cancer has been bringing others’ neediness to the fore, but Venus will enter Cancer and Mars will depart, so sweeter feelings will prevail. Get out and socialise and welcome new approaches to creative and entrepreneurial projects, because you now have a chance to rise to the top.
You’ll have many chores and tasks to attend to in early May, but being an Aquarius, you can, and should, rebel against others’ expectations and be true to yourself. Not that you should be irresponsible, but you are good at finding superior approaches and shortcuts. Mars entering Leo on the 20th puts you in a take-charge mood.
New visions and pleasures are in the cosmic spotlight this month, and by the middle of May you’ll be ready to make some decisions about your future. You’ll also be in a position to reach out and speak up to those who can help further your aims. You’re at a turning point, and you need to consider making various changes at home.
