May 2011 horoscopes for Sagittarius
In May we will experience the first of three remarkable astronomical events that take place in 2012. This first event is an annular solar eclipse at 0º degree of Gemini, on May 20th at 7:53 PM (Eastern Time), followed by the transit of Venus and the Sun on June 6th, 2012 and the total solar eclipse on November 13, 2012.
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s apparent disk is just smaller than the Sun’s disk and the Sun appears as a brilliant ring.
Eclipses have a reputation for bringing change, good or bad and often stress.
As an astrologer I don’t believe eclipses are a cataclysmic event that some people suppose them to be or an ill omen, as ancient traditional astrology says. If you expect bad things to happen, chances are you will create a self-fulfilling prophecy, because the energy of a negative thought could be very powerful. We are the co-creator of our reality; I believe we attract what is in sync with our thoughts.
However eclipses do present opportunities to change, and change is often necessary in order to evolve. When we fear change and refuse to accept when something is done or gone or not for us anymore, then we can experience bad things.
Eclipses bring messages, and if we ignore or miss ‘the message,’ chances are we won’t be able to fulfill our dreams and wishes for the future.
Being aware and conscious is the best way to confront any astrological event, when we are unaware, asleep or unconscious, we become vulnerable to events.
By being conscious you can take the reins of your life dear Sagittarius.
Venus the goddess of beauty, love, luxury and women’s matters, is going to retrograde. It happens once a year and starts May 15th and finishes on June 27th.
May is traditionally known as the bride’s month, however this May, it’s not propitious for a wedding day, nor is it a good time for cosmetic surgery or to buy expensive items, such as a piece of art, decoration, jewelry and so on.
It’s a time to reconnect with LOVE; love for self and love for others.
Venus in retrograde motion is supposed to mean that love enters a fated period, where we may experience problems in our relationships and we need to sort out what our real feelings are for the person we are in a relationship with.
It’s a karmic time as well. Old friends or lovers may reappear offering us a second chance to reconnect or just to recognize that you don’t belong together. Sometimes some relationships finish leaving some feelings behind and some doubts. A Venus retrograde period can help us to review our feelings.
It may also be that an old flame appears on the scene again.
The area in your chart where Venus will retrograde shows where you may have ‘love issues’ during this period.
Venus is transiting your opposite sign in your relationships sector, dear Sagittarius, so needless to say, this is not a good time to make any decisions about the state of a relationship or to consider a beauty procedure. In fact if you are in a meaningful relationship, during this time frame you are prone to experience more issues than at any other time. Use this month and a half to reassess it, to ask yourself questions regarding your feelings. Talk to your partner, find out about his or her feelings as well. Do you give in the same proportion that you receive, dear Sagittarius?
Mercury sextile Venus on May 3rd and 4th. It is a great opportunity to express our feelings of love and puts the focus on communication in relationships. We will be able to fully express our affections with loving words. Interactions should be frank and open; it may be your last chance to talk about your relationship problems (if any) before Venus retrogrades. Be open and express yourself, either to your lover, to a friend or to someone you love and are having issues with.
This is a perfect day to discuss any relationship issue; you may find just the right words to say about something that’s on your mind, whereas at another time, you could hurt your loved one by using the wrong words...
There’s a full moon on the 5th, in Scorpio at 11:35 PM (Eastern Time). This is an intense full moon and it’s asking us to reconsider our goals and the effort to fulfill them. It’s time to be honest without hurting loved ones’ feelings.
It is also time to see what our naked eyes can’t see, because we have the power to dig and explore the underground and our unconscious feelings.
The intensity will be in the air.
The moon will be making harmonic aspects to Neptune, Mars and Pluto throughout the day, which is an easy and energetic energy. An opposition to Jupiter from the moon can make everything bigger and even more intense.
During this full moon dear Sagittarius, you can reach a fitness goal or find a treatment if you have a health issue that will help get you back in good shape.
If you have a psychological problem that has been implicating your physical health, you may stumble upon a self-discovery that can improve your physical and psychological self. You know sometimes not resolving things that are in your subconscious mind can sabotage your physical performance. But with Jupiter your ruler in your house of health, you can reach your best health condition of the past 12 years.
Mercury will travel through Taurus from May 9th until May 24th, making this time a perfect period to transform fantasy into facts. Practical Taurus prefers to be straight to the point.
We think things out in a balanced manner; we are realistic with our ideas, which can provide a solid foundation for our projects.
It’s time to examine alternative points of view.
With Mercury in your area of health and work you can work on a project with much precision and focus, more than in other times.
The 13th is a very lucky day! The Sun and Jupiter are making a beautiful aspect. This is a good day for business, money and expansion in all areas of our lives.
Gosh! This is the best energy you could experience in the last year. Your ruler Jupiter, which is already the lord or progress and luck, is teaming up with the Sun in your area of health and work. Your health couldn’t get better than this. If you have any project in mind to present to your boss dear Sagittarius this is the day to do so.
You will see improvements in every area of your life, from personal matters to financial and even spiritual.
On the 15th, 16th and 17th, Mars and Pluto are in perfect aspect, a very powerful one.
Whatever you plan or start on these days, tends to progress and grow in a perfect direction.
This is another push for finances and career matters. You may hear about a raise or you boss could give you a promotion. If you have to compete with someone else, you have higher chances of succeeding.
As I said at the top of the page, Venus starts to retrograde on the 15th. As I said before, relationships now go through a slow motion period. If you are single dear Sagittarius, sorry to say…. Your only opportunities to hook up is when you bump into an ex… take it or leave it, because a new flame will not appear for you until the end of June. With a possibility on May 28th.
The Sun enters the sign of Gemini today, the 20th, hours before the Eclipse. Gemini is a sign of flexibility and options. Nothing can limit us now. We are open to try alternative methods and multiple perspectives.
Your attention goes to your significant other, but you must remember that you can’t focus too much on someone else and leave your own affairs behind. Be equally dedicatedly or better; focus on yourself now!
The new moon in Gemini and the Eclipse are taking place on the 20th, at 7:47 PM and 7:53 PM (Eastern Time) respectively.
Please read about the eclipse on the top of the page.
This eclipse is in conjunction (close degree) to the south node and in opposition to the north node which represents the past and future, and is making a beautiful aspect to Neptune and Chiron, what means, we are experiencing now the result of past decisions and choices; however we will have opportunities to create our future, transforming our present thoughts and visualizing the future we would like to see.
We have the free will to transform bad karma (past) in good Dharma (future).
Use your imagination and fantasy to see beyond and create your future.
Even with Venus retrograde in your area of relationship, a talk about an engagement or a commitment wouldn’t be out of question, but you know this is not the time to commit dear Sagittarius; wait until the end of June. There will be 3 more Eclipses in this area of relationship and you can have other opportunities to have that big talk.
Mars in Virgo is in stressful aspect to the north and south nodes during this eclipse.
Do I stay or do I go?
It’s your choice, either change or move on, or unwelcome events can take place and show you what you refuse to see or refuse to change.
Meditate today, take some time alone and ask yourself what you are refusing to accept, what you are refusing to change and what your wishes are for the future.
You may have issues with your mother, father or even your boss at this time, but whatever happens will be beneficial to your evolution. You have a lot to learn with your parents at this time dear Sagittarius.
On May 22nd, you have the best day in the last 12 months to find a solution for a relationship problem. Will you be looking for a lawyer? You may find one that could be smart enough to get you out of trouble, or you may find the right partner to go ahead on a project with, but don’t sign any contracts until the end of June. You can talk now and commit later.
On May 23rd, the Sun and Neptune together can create the perfect atmosphere for misunderstandings, forgetfulness and deception. If you are following a guru or a spiritual path, chances are, you may lose your grip on reality and get lost in a fantasy world.
Be careful because this combination can hurt your family relationships, or a domestic situation could make you upset.
On May 25th, Mercury enters the sign of Gemini, and the planet of communication becomes more agile and playful until June 7th.
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, so this mentally mobile planet feels totally comfortable in his own home.
We tend to zip from one subject to another. It’s Facebook and Twitter time.
This is a good time to negotiate relationship issues.
On the 28th we experience changes and we are open for the unorthodox and for original ideas.
This is a good day to experiment and speak freely.
This is the best day of the month of May for your relationship. Venus is still operating in your area of relationships, but today the odds can prevail, Venus may be napping on the job, but you ‘single Sagittarius,’ can still have a great encounter.
“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.” – Brian Tracy-
Have a great month and find your path of transformation.
