May 2018 Astrological Forecast by Sarah Lyons

May begins with a strong creative vibration and a need to indulge our senses and escape from everyday life for a while! Enjoy social events but put off decisions regarding love and money. Even though Mercury is direct and passing it’s shadow phase we have three planets bringing challenges to the technical and mechanical areas. Malfunctions are possible and can be sudden. Conversations and temperaments are edgy. Then, mid month our minds become more grounded as Mercury enters stable Taurus on the 13th. A New Moon also in Taurus on the 15th, begins our next lunar cycle with a more conservative but still indulgent vibe. With a little help from action planet Mars, what we start now can go far and accomplish much!

But, the biggest news for this month, and for this year also happens on the 15th just a few hours after the monthly lunar cycle begins! Unpredictable and original planet Uranus enters Taurus for the first time in 84 years and begins it’s approximately seven year stay! This will bring the world new ways to be practical in finances, economic reforms and earth resources. Unique talents and inventions will breakthrough old worn out methods. It will be a time of great change that we will just begin to watch unfold now. People born in the first five days of Taurus will be most affected as well as those born in early Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius.
Energy planet Mars leaves industrious Capricorn on the 16th to visit inventive Aquarius. A tendency to be reckless or accident prone exists. Also now is a great time to break away from something. Venus leaves variety seeking Gemini on the 19th for a sentimental stroll through Cancer.
Chances taken have endurance. We love and buy with our heart; not our heads now. On the 20th the stable Taurus Sun gets restless in Gemini wanting change and variety! Later, on the 29th, Mercury adds to the excitement entering Gemini to join the Sun after pursuing practical ideas most of the month!
