This will be a bright month because the planets will emphasize all your talents and will be showing you ways you can showcase them to the world. Four little happy heavenly bodies are crowded into your solar third house of communications, including Venus (happiness), Mercury (news), the Sun (authority and focus), and the new moon (opportunity) in Taurus, 17 degrees on May 6.
If you write, edit, proof, translate, fact check, do public speaking, write code; are a movie director, cinematographer, choreographer, or photographer; or are an actor, teacher, marketer, lecturer, advertising creative; work as a producer or publicist; or are in sales, you'll lead the pack with a string of successes. Those who have expertise in social media could be rewarded this month, whether in your own business or in your work for an employer. Those in any phase of the travel or telecommunications industries will also do well.
You'll be as busy as Lucy (Ball) and Ethel in the chocolate factory, trying to keep up with the assembly line of work, and doing so with a magnetic sense of humor. It will be flattering to be so needed. In addition to everything else you have on your plate, you may travel a short distance in May too, and even though you may wonder how you will work that into your schedule too, traveling, even for business, will do you a world of good by giving you a change of scene. On all fronts this month, opportunity will spring up where none existed before.
This new moon of May 6 will be as sweet as sugar, for three powerful outer planets will beam golden vibrations to that new moon. First, Jupiter, now in your partnership sector, will send greetings to all the four enthusiastic planets in your communication sector. This suggests that you may need an agent, lawyer, manager, representative, or other middleman to help unlock this new moon's gifts - this person seems to hold the keys. Powerhouse Pluto, not to be outdone, will bring you help from an influential, successful friend - someone who believes in your talents and feels you have a bright future, and he or she will help. Thirdly, and also very significantly, Neptune, your ruling planet, will encourage you to put your twist of originality and fresh thinking to the project. Neptune rules photography and images, so you may soon see your face in published or broadcast form. Indeed, great publicity seems to be on the way as part of all the other elements sparkling this month.
You might be involved with a large mailing by physical post office or digital email to promote your talents or services. Targeted self-promotion would be the perfect idea. Be sure to add the names of good clients you haven't seen in some time - this month reconnecting with your past is the key to success.
Are you getting married soon - the mailing I see might be invitations. (This will be a superb year to get engaged or wed - the best year in the decade.) Are you creating a new advertising campaign for a client, developing a beautiful new website, or putting the finishing touches on a cell phone app? Or, are you finishing a manuscript for a screenplay? Alternatively, you may be sending your newly published hardcover book to influential people. Or, are you creating an entirely new make-believe language for Game of Thrones? (There are people who do that - maybe it's you!) A new project seems to have you using your language skills to the max this month. A new moon opens a path, and what you do in the ten days following that new moon can affect your life for at least a year, or even possibly forever. The project this month seems to have weight and importance - much more than the ones you've done before.
If your birthday falls on March 8, plus or minus five days, you will benefit the most from this exciting new moon, and you will feel the benefic effects directly. If you know you have Pisces rising at 17 degrees, or a natal planet in Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio, Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, you also will receive gifts from this new moon. Allow a plus or minus 5 degrees to all planets or Pisces rising sign.
Certain days deserve a gold star. The first is May 3, which brings one of the most special cosmic events, when the Sun and Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, are in ideal sync to each other. Jupiter is now based in your partnership sector, so you may receive excellent good fortune as a result of a partner or agent who will make an introduction for you, open an opportunity, or start talks about a possible deal. Most of your luck seems to come through an intermediary. Go slowly and sign nothing yet - as you will see in a moment, there are too many retrograde planets in May to seal a deal.
If you feel Jupiter has not been working hard enough for you, it may be because Jupiter has been in sleepy retrograde mode since January 8. That will all change now when Jupiter turns direct on May 9. Watch the news about a communications project that comes to you in the days that surround May 9 (plus or minus two day
