Continue to The Horoscope For May 2022
Money is on your mind as you enter May, due to the new moon solar eclipse of April 30. That new moon appeared in Taurus and lit your house of other people’s money. Finances will dominate your thinking during the first part of May. The house where this eclipse fell rules taxes, so you could be focused on finishing your return and sending money to the government. If you are lucky, a refund will be due, but alas, that does not look like the way things will play out. The new moon will be quite close to Uranus, so any news that comes up will be unexpected.
Before you begin to worry about the amount you owe others, with other bills coming due too, know that the new moon will be friendly to a gaggle of planets in Pisces, your sixth house of work-a-day projects. Those planets are Venus, Neptune, Jupiter, and Mars. This says you will enjoy your work and that your creative, out-of-the-box thinking will likely be in high demand. Money will flow in during the first half of the month, just when you need it most. Good-fortune Jupiter will be orbiting close to Venus (the ruler of Taurus, the sign of the eclipse, and Venus is your ruler too, Libra). This bodes so well for financial news due to you now and in the coming six months as well.
The full moon lunar eclipse of May 15/16 in Scorpio will bring an end to financial talks and activities. You will be ready to pay bills and make important financial decisions. Again, you will be in luck, for the ruler of Scorpio is Pluto, beautifully oriented to the Sun and full moon lunar eclipse. It appears you may be making an important financial decision. If you need a mortgage, home improvement loan, or need to borrow (or be given) money from family, it appears your needs will be met.
Aside from all the financial discussions you will have, something else is happening this month that is quite exciting. Once Jupiter enters Aries on May 10, to stay until October 27 (and then return on December 20, 2022, for several more months), you will become the most favored sign for marriage. If you’re dating seriously, you could easily become engaged or wed—and it would be the best time in over a decade to do so. If you are already married, your mate will do exceedingly well, and you both will benefit from the prosperity and jovial optimism of your mate.
Business partnerships and collaborations will do well, too—you may want to hire a new accountant, lawyer, agent, publicist, wedding planner, stylist, or other professional, and if so, you will be pleased with the results as you work together.
Mercury will retrograde most of the month, from May 10 to June 3. This planet of communication also rules travel and electronics, so none of these areas would be beneficial during this retrograde period. Mercury will retrograde in Gemini, the very sign it rules, making it stronger this time. Frustrations about delays may, and probably will, come up, but you’ve been through Mercury retrograde before, and you are becoming an expert at dealing with him. After all, Mercury goes retrograde three times a year for three and a half weeks, so you are up to little Wrecker Ralph’s tricks. You may make a trip to the repair shop because Mercury rules electronics and the moving parts of machines, and parts famously show their wear and tear at this time. Mercury also rules all communications, from writing, editing, and public speaking, to negotiating, contracts, agreements, and travel and transportation.
Mercury retrograde is not the time to sign an agreement, nor is it a good time to buy an expensive electronic such as a computer or automobile. Many people rush to sign just before the start or right at the end of Mercury retrograde (May 10 and June 3), but those are the worst times to do so. If you must act on an activity that is not advised, don’t choose the start and end dates when Mercury is at his most mischievous. It would be better to act in the middle of the retrograde if you must.
The month will end on a new moon in Gemini, the very sign that is ruled by Mercury. This new moon will give you the travel bug, and even if you have not flown in a long time due to the pandemic, you may want to find a location to go to now. You need not go far. The trip you decide upon could be quite romantic, for the new moon and Sun will be in direct, friendly contact with good-fortune Jupiter and action Mars, currently based in your marriage and partnership sector. If you don’t go with your romantic partner, you might go with a collaborator at work to visit a client. Either way, the outcome of this trip bodes so well for success. Mars will be conjunct Jupiter, an indication that actions can lead to profit and happiness. Wait until Mercury goes direct to act, after June 3, for best results. A change of scene will do you a world of good.
