May... May be better...

Astrology is in part an attempt to describe the quality of time. We have another ten days of Mercury in reverse, so don’t expect time to do anything but crawl; in fact, make the most of the indecision – once the new Moon of 14 May arrives, events move into hyper drive.

Lucky Days: 2, 3, 12, 13, 21, 30
Yucky Days: 10, 11, 17, 23, 24

The recent upheaval in your romantic and creative life should be settling back to a simmer now that Mercury will be going direct on 11 May. Most of the turbulence was due to the usual communication breakdowns, misunderstandings and other annoying miscellany. With the arrival of the New Moon in your love department on 13 May, you can let bygones be bygones and truly clear the way for sparkly new opportunities. Pleasure takes precedence over pragmatism for the next few weeks so don’t fight the feeling. And then Venus enters your relationship sector on 19 May to deliver the sweet icing on cupid’s cake. Lastly, the Full Moon in your sector of dreams, spirit and the subconscious on 27 May will bring a whole host of revelations to rock your world for the next six months. The truth will be delivered this May—and thus you shall be free. Uranus bursts into your fourth house of domestic affairs on the 27th as well, so this is going to be one interesting day. Mark it on your calendar and try not to push the buttons of anyone that you live with, lest you start an explosive row.

If you have a super-powered project on – pretty likely if you were born near Christmas or in 1980/81 – then keep the pressure on and show endless patience when you are obliged to do chores twice over. As for the rest of you, while it’s improbable you’ll be putting up your feet (a Capricorn’s work is never done, as we all know), May is a fine time to be engaged with whatever parts of your life aren’t work, whether it’s overhauling the allotment or starring in the Am-Dram production. Some indulgent attention to your intimate/romantic life is also in order. You’ll be back on the treadmill soon enough, later in the summer.
The waning Moon in your skies today (Sunday), Monday and Tuesday should help put a bounce in your step.

Your Monthly Forecast: The right things are happening for the right reasons. If it doesn't seem that way to you, it can only be because you have the wrong expectations. Perhaps you think everything ought to be easier. Or, in some strange way, more difficult. Perhaps you are nervous of something good in case it leads to something bad. There really is, though, no need to feel anxious or uncomfortable. Saturn's opposition to Uranus - which, in turn, forms a conjunction to Jupiter - tells us that you're going through a positive, life-changing process. Even if life seems intense at times, in May, your experiences can only combine to bring eventual lasting benefit.

Your Week Ahead starting Sat, May 1 - Love Focus: Feeling thwarted? Exasperated? It's worth remembering this week that natural checks and balances subtly operate in all our lives. While this might seem frustrating at times, it's a good thing to be aware of if you are thoroughly fed up with a problem that seems to be lasting forever. You are running into some difficulties at the moment. They are impeding your progress and creating a sense of frustration. Nothing, though, will stop you from eventually getting what you really need. And, in a strange way, some of your recent obstacles will yet turn out merely to have helped everything to proceed at the perfect pace.

Who are you? What do you want? Sorry to start your week with such an intense interrogation, but while you need not answer to me, it is important to ask yourself such questions. We make enormous assumptions about ourselves. Sometimes, we think we are capable of almost anything - sometimes, we see ourselves as woefully inadequate. None of us, though, really know what we may be able to do until we try. What's holding you back now, is not a physical or material limitation, it's a misplaced expectation.
