Continue to The Horoscope For May 2023:
As the month opens, keep your schedule light. A full moon lunar eclipse is due May 5, and it will bring with it unexpected news. You may need to drop what you are doing and attend to a different matter that will require your full attention. This eclipse is tied in theme to the eclipse that occurred November 8, 2022. This time, the May 5 eclipse may bring you information that someone close kept from you. Although you may be jarred when the truth comes out, once you know the secret, you can protect yourself in the future. You will need more privacy in the first week of the month while you come to terms with whatever news comes to light.
It might be easy to jump to conclusions, but don’t, as Mercury, the planet ruling communication, will continue to be weak in retrograde until May 14. Eclipses create confusing situations too, so wait until the dust clears, think about what occurred, and consider the various ways you can respond. In the meantime, more information will be forthcoming, for all eclipses have a second act. When the information is clarified, you may change your mind about how you feel about the situation. As a Sagittarius, you are a mutable sign, which means you are flexible and adaptable to change, and that will be an asset near May 5.
You may feel drained by the news, another reason not to have a packed schedule. Be good to yourself by getting enough sleep, and make it a point to eat nutritiously.

The new moon of May 19 (not an eclipse) will bring changes in your everyday routine, such in your workplace or in regard to the methods and software you use to get your work done. Alternatively, a trusted person who reports to you may now announce her departure. (The moon is considered female, and a full moon eclipse may “eclipse out” your staff member.) This may be disappointing news as it appears that you rely on this person, and until you can hire a new recruit, you may have to shoulder a plethora of that person’s daily tasks yourself. This may seem like a terrible waste of time, but doing so will be necessary. Where the full moon eclipse on May 5 will mark an ending, the new moon May 19 will allow you to begin anew.
Your expenses have been high since Mars entered Cancer on March 25 and may become a little more pressing by Pluto’s opposition to Mars on May 20, the day after the new moon. You may have to pay more to replace an employee, or you may need additional computers, new software, revised sales tools and website, and so forth.
Mars will move out of Cancer on May 20, so your expenses will soon drop once you get through May.
Be careful with new contracts that you may need to sign—planets in Taurus are warning you to have realistic expectations (in terms of eventual profits to be made), and be prepared to work creatively and with flexibility moving forward. Pluto’s square to Jupiter on May 17 and continuing to be close in coming months suggests that adjustments will have to be made in your business strategy as you go along. Keep a contract elastic enough to allow you hire people on a temporary basis so that you can respond to changes in the marketplace as business expands and contracts, possibly seasonally.
