Continue to The Virgo Horoscope For May 2023:
You have an enormous emphasis this month on foreign people and places, and you might need to travel to distant points or be on the phone or email quite a bit with people overseas. It seems this activity will most likely be for business. Still, if you do have to travel, schedule it for the second half of May.
A full moon lunar eclipse will arrive on May 5 in Scorpio. This will be a stressful eclipse for just about everyone of every sign because Uranus, the planet of unpredictability, will bepositioned on the other side of the sky, 180 degrees away, and directly oppose the tender full moon in Scorpio. Fortunately for you, Uranus, Mercury, and the Sun are all in Taurus, a sign that blends beautifully with your Virgo Sun. That will soften some of the unpredictable and chaotic aspects of this eclipse. You may be dealing with import-export, customs officials, immigration, citizenship, residency, or a travel or working visa. One of these areas may be coming to a culmination.
There will be other possibilities, too. The area of your chart so lit up—your ninth house—is also a hub of intellect and learning and can expand your worldview. You will see the greatest application for projects you’d previously perceived in narrow terms.
As an alternative focus, you may be thinking about a thesis you are writing or courses you are taking for a degree. Or your attention might be on finishing a publishing or broadcasting project that shows problems at the last minute, within days of the lunar eclipse on May 5. No one of any zodiac sign will be enthusiastic about this eclipse due to its propensity to bring untoward, unexpected news.
Thankfully, the new moon on May 19 brings a calmer outlook because five out of the 10 celestial bodies in our solar system will be in Taurus, a sign friendly to Virgo. However, caution will still be necessary, especially in regard to travel and business. Mars will make a sharp opposition to Pluto on May 20, indicating someone, most likely a subordinate, will challenge your authority or make demands. Yet at the same time, Pluto will support the Sun and new moon, suggesting that current company rules will be helpful. It seems you will benefit from legal advice.
It’s possible that someone is jealous of your success and will attempt to undermine your current efforts. You are savvy, and you can find ways to protect yourself. At first, you may not notice any of this person’s actions related to his or her hidden agenda, or if you do, you’ll dismiss those actions as juvenile and won’t think they require any strong action. Quite the contrary—it would be wise to take this person seriously and build a strategy to stay in control. Draw the line for what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
Your ruler Mercury started to retrograde last month on April 21 in Taurus and will continue in its lazy, lackadaisical state until May 14. Hold off on making decisions and commitments until the second half of May. Avoid signing a contract of any nature, and wait to buy electronics for as long as possible.
Travel is apt to be difficult throughout the first half of May, and if you travel for business, your client could easily bring up obstacles or questions that you didn’t expect and aren’t prepared to answer. You will need time to do research to come up with a remedy that will offer a win-win solution for both sides.
June will bring a better environment for progress, especially in your career, so delay serious business talks until then. If you want to take some personal time off, go after Mars enters Leo on May 20, to stay until July 10. Choose to take a quiet, soothing holiday in a natural setting. Planets in Taurus suggest you would enjoy hiking in a mountainous, thickly wooded forest, perhaps adjacent to a lake or stream for a refreshing respite from your everyday cares.
Mars will be in Virgo from July 10 until August 27, marking one of the most important periods of 2023 for you. At this time, you will be very much in demand, both personally and professionally. For now you can rest, so take a week or two off in late May or early June because after the new moon on June 17, you will want to be part of all that is new and happening. By then you will watch the plans you made earlier start to blossom.
