May 2007 Forecast

Key Events:  

Full Moon 5/02/2007

New Moon 5/16/2007

Full Moon 5/31/2007

Neptune Retrograde 5/25/2007

The Sun is in your Sign until the 21st, so until then you're in the spotlight.  Mercury is there as well until May 11th, which will help you express yourself as well as stimulate your thought processes.  Your birthday starts a new cycle every year called a Solar Return.  If you want to know what to expect from the coming year check out our Planets in Solar Return report.  For the first week of the month, your ruling planet, Venus, is in your Natural 2nd House, which encompasses possessions, pleasures and comforts of all kinds.  Needless to say this is quite favorable, so if you need to make a purchase or want to treat yourself to something there couldn't be a better time.  As Venus moves into your Natural 3rd House on the 8th, she brings her good fortune to that venue, which will bring pleasantries to your thought processes.  It would also be a good time for a day trip or visiting with neighbors.

If your homelife has been a bit stuck in the mud lately, either due to people or other problems around the house, this should improve now that Saturn came out of retrograde on April 22.  If something there isn't quite right, you'll now be able to identify what it is and how to correct it, which you can more than likely accomplish before the end of July.  Neptune goes retrograde in your Natural 10th House of career and reputation on the 25th.  This could stimulate some daydreaming in this area, perhaps relative to something you'd rather do for a living than you currently are.  Neptune is great for the imagination, but he's also the master of illusion and delusion, so enjoy the ride but don't take it too seriously without considering it carefully with your inherent Earth Sign practicality.

The Full Moon on the 2nd occurs in Scorpio, your Natural 7th House of relationships.  This could signal the end of a phase in this area or bring attention to it in some manner.  If your birthday is on or within a few days of May 2nd this will be more significant, with the effects operative for the entire year.  These folks are likely to notice changes in that area that will have a strong influence on their personal lives.  The New Moon on the 16th occurs in your Sign and will herald a new beginning of some sort for those with birthdays around May 14-18.  If you've been wanting to make a change of some sort, this will give you some assistance, which Bulls can always use when it comes to change; no matter how unsatisfactory the status quo may be, it's not easy for you to change your ways.  However, you also like your creature comforts so bear in mind that improvements and progress often involves change of one degree or another. 

There are two Full Moons this month with the second one on the 31st.  This is what is known as a "Blue Moon" and it doesn't occur that often, thus the expression "once in a Blue Moon."  This will occur in Sagittarius, your Natural 8th House, which encompasses intimate relationships, other people's resources and death & regeneration (usually in a figurative sense).  With Jupiter and Pluto both retrograde in that same neighborhood, something is probably rumbling beneath the surface in that area of your life.  This is more than likely causing restlessness or perhaps some adjustments, though it might not be consciously apparent to you what is going on much less what needs to be done about it.  This will be ongoing for several months to come so put it on the back burner for now, except for noting events or possibly mental rumblings in this area for future reference.  Chances are this is another area of your life that could benefit from a few changes.  The Zodiac usually gives us a chance at self-initiated change for a certain length of time before slapping us upside the head with something that gives us a not-so-gentle nudge in the proper direction.  Yes, I know you don't like change, but consider whether you want to be in control or whether you want it forced upon you at what will inevitably be the least convenient time.

With Mars transiting your Natural 12th House you could experience an upsurge of energy in your spiritual life or involvement with institutions.  You're ordinarily the stable type, but may find yourself having a bit more activity or energy in this area for a while.

You may have experienced various surprises or unexpected events amongst your friends and associates for a while now.  Your hopes and wishes may also be affected.  There may be some opportunities in this area as a result so keep your eyes open. 

This should overall be a good month for you with the primary challenges to keep your career aspirations well-grounded and to take care of any issues that surface in your home environment.  Relationship issues are likely to have some impact with possible changes coming about, though they may only exist in your philosophy of life or expectations.  Since you've just begun a new solar cycle, similar themes are likely to be afoot for the next year.
