Continue to The Horoscope For May 2023:
The month starts out with a major full moon lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 5, which will have you powerfully focused on your own earned income and savings.
A little later in the month, you will also be thinking about the money you share with another individual or institution, such as with your spouse, bank, credit card company, student loan provider, or government for taxes owed. This May 5 eclipse is not a friendly one, and just about everyone of every sign will be dealing with unexpected, sudden news. For you, the news will be about money, and it appears the demand or need for payment will come up within five days of May 5. Alternatively, you may be helping a family member who is in a jam.
If you are in the process of a court case or working on a divorce settlement, you may not like the settlement offer initially if it arrives at the eclipse on May 5. Hopefully, you can delay talks about the division of property until later in the month, for doing so will help. You need to wait until Jupiter moves into Taurus, your eighth house of other people’s money, on May 16 to stay for a full year, until May 25, 2024.
Here is the problem with the full moon lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 5. Unpredictable, rebellious Uranus will conjoin the Sun and directly oppose the full moon eclipse. This is the strongest eclipse of the year, and when the message of the eclipse arrives, it will send news that will appear to come out of the blue without warning. How well you will do depends on what you’ve been discussing (involving money) up until this point, starting last month or even earlier.
Having said that, trying to guess what will come up at this eclipse on May 5 will be futile for the very nature of Uranus is to plot a surprise, and none of us will like it. Uranus is trying to teach you and me (and all of us) resourcefulness and agility under pressure.
If you are interviewing for a job near May 5 and you were the selected candidate, you might be discussing your future salary. This full moon will either bring you to an agreement (if the offer pleases you) or not. If you don’t like it, you may walk away. If you are self-employed, this may involve a new project or client. You will be able to choose what you do. This chaotic full moon will bring you closure, and after the eclipse delivers its news, you can planor strategize accordingly.
Keep in mind that you can never go back to how things were before the eclipse appeared for eclipses are on a mission to push you forward, not back to former times. If you don’t like what is happening at eclipse time, you can always change things around several months from now.
Mars is in your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement, helping you elevate your reputation and take on new duties that will give you more power and influence. You can do this by receiving a promotion, accepting a new position at another company, or by bringing in a prestigious new client if you are self-employed. This is a great placement for Mars for you will easily attract the attention of VIPs who have the authority to hire, and you can make an excellent impression in your interview.
If you are not involved with a career matter, the fact that Uranus is conjunct the Sun suggests you might be thinking about a friend who, much to your shock, has not been as loyal to you as you assumed she was. Suddenly, your friend may be showing you a troubling side, making you feel disillusioned for having placed your trust in her. (Lunar eclipses tend to point to females—the reason I refer to your friend as a “she.”) This eclipse is related to the one that occurred on November 8, plus or minus one month, so if you follow the breadcrumbs, you will find money is at the core of the problem.
Mercury started to retrograde last month on April 21 and will continue to retrograde until May 14. Leave a space of as many days as possible before you start making commitments or announcements to allow Mercury to regulate its speed.
The new moon on May 19 in Taurus will give you a chance to reverse the tension and make great money. Indeed, after this new moon appears, financial news could go from dark to bright. It won’t be easy to do—you will have to present a well-organized, persuasive case for VIPs to approve your suggestions, but you can be victorious. Mars will oppose Pluto on May 20, so you will get some strong pushback from a crusty VIP initially, but with Mars in a supportive angle to the Sun and new moon from your prestigious tenth house of professional recognition, you can persuade others to come to your side.
Venus rules Taurus and is being friendly to Uranus, indicating a non-traditional, innovative solution will be the path to rallying an agreement. As you come to the new moon on May 19, you can capture the job or client you want by displaying out-of-the-box creative thinking, for that’s what VIPs will be looking to see from you.
The most important element regarding this new moon is the arrival of Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, to Taurus, your eighth house of other people’s money, for the first time since the year spanning June 2011 to June 2012. You will go from stressing out about money to having plenty of chances to make considerable cash. Banks will work with you to offer a loan or mortgage, and if you need venture capital, investors will take you seriously. Working on commission, royalties, licensing fees, or bonuses will be your best way to increase your income. In other words, performance-based compensation should work in your favor.
If you are in a court case for a divorce, it would be much better to make a final agreement for the division of property, for child support, or other matters involving finances in June or even later, such as July.
Once Jupiter is in place to help you (in Taurus as of May 16, to continue for a year), yourlife will gradually improve in noticeable ways. Jupiter will help deliver you a fair—and even generous—settlement. Also possible in the coming 12 months: You may be given an inheritance, scholarship, valuable gift, court settlement, or other positive financial news. It is clear you will need a lawyer to protect your interests, but you can come out sunny-side up if you are an active participant in your legal proceedings.
