Horoscope for the week beginning May 5
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The really big news now is the Lunar Nodes changing signs from Virgo at the North end and Pisces at the South for the past 18 months to Leo at the North and Aquarius at the South. The date is May 9. This shift will become very apparent quickly but especially after the next New Moon in Gemini on May 25. It will manifest as a heightened state of drama and revolution as if there is not enough of both in the world already.
People with Leo strongly indicated in the Birth Chart will feel this impulse very strongly. This is especially true if Leo in his/her Rising Sign. At best, it will activate their creative leadership in a strong and impressive way. At worst, it will manifest as tyrannical behavior.
For all signs, this 18-Month cycle will prove to be exciting and dramatic. I will elaborate more fully next week providing an overview of what each can expect. Generally, we should expect very significant measures that will bring about a new norm in the world.
May 5 – 11
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
All the main lights are green now and the forward flow is apparent. Now it is time to get busy. Attending to several fronts requires time management. What to do first and where to start are questions. It all has to get done so anything applies as long as it is featured in your plans. Avoid idle distractions and rock and roll.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
A busy time both in front and behind the scenes is likely now. You are in an ambitious mood. Proceeding with full confidence remains somewhat challenging. Circumstances and certain players destined to make you have to be strategic and patient are indicated. Trust and confidence are keywords.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Are you seeking adventure, escape or a combination of both? Exploring new territory is likely and this includes meeting new people. A proactive and spontaneous mood prevails. You are happy to be the one to make the first move, especially if you are in unfamiliar places. Otherwise, you may hand back and explore virtually and/or imaginatively.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
A soul-searching journey continues but now it is also time to express new facets of your individuality. It all amounts to deciphering who you feel you truly are and what constitutes your true purpose, a path with heart. This may come amidst the needs of the moment. Focus on identifying this deeper need as you manage outer responsibilities.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Navigating through tricky waters has kept you busy the past several weeks. Things should be getting clearer now. The urge to break into new territory remains strong and this could apply psychologically as well as physically. Your focus will get progressively stronger yet this week and you will be busy.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
A philosophical mood prevails. You are seeking answers. The process may be leaving you feeling less social. What you want now is new knowledge, answers and the confidence of knowing how. Many new realizations and even profound insights are igniting in your mind. Record them somehow; you will be glad you did later.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22)
Rich and powerful exchanges with others have been keeping you busy. Deciphering who has what you want and need and who needs what you have. Pushing through opposition and indecision is featured as you move towards the higher ground. It is natural to want the advantage and you do.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
A steady process of giving and take with others continues. You may feel as though you must give more that feels fair. This theme will continue for a while yet. Directing a sharp focus to matters is an asset for all concerned, yet it may also be hard to take. Your attitude is critical and resolve is bold challenging others to keep up.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The clouds are clearing, finally. Yet despite the inspiration to play, the need to work may be stronger. Either way, you will take a sporting approach. A spirit of victory will keep your spirits high. A competitive edge is also present and it could cause animosity and spoil the fun, so be aware and temper your attitude accordingly.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
A creative and playful mood is keeping you busy, especially close to home. You want to take new initiatives and at least uplift the atmosphere by way of spring-cleaning. Yet introducing a new style and feel altogether is also likely. Your energy levels are running high now so this is the time. If you delay now, the project could drag on for months even.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Thinking new thoughts and entertaining the possibilities is keeping you busy of late. This process of thinking out of the box may prove refreshing yet a little intimidating as well. Big moves and even renovations are indicated. Seeing a bigger picture remains important to support taking what may well amount to a big leap of faith.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
A mix of ambition and curiosity are leading you to consider alternate approaches. A process of deep negotiations with significant others has been underway for many months even. But now it is time to take more deliberate action. This will require a strategic plan and fortunately, you are in a good headspace to do just that. Cooperate for best results.
