May Astrology Forecast

Our second month of spring is underway with plenty of exciting cosmic activity.  Communication planet Mercury travels home to Gemini on the 3rd where the expression of logic and reasoning is at its highest.  We are restless, changeable, and chatty throughout the rest of the month.  Love planet Venus also visits Gemini on the 8th when we become friendly yet detached in matters of the heart.  We thrive on change and variety now.  Mars travels through home-loving Cancer this month bringing endless energy to family life and attending to projects or repairs. Click here to read the full May astrology forecast.
