Your May horoscope by Susan Miller
Last month you were the center of attention, thanks to the new moon solar eclipse in your sign on April 19. If your birthday falls near that date, you already know changes are in the air. Perhaps Mercury retrograde delayed news, but as of April 30 Mercury will have turned direct. If things were held up, you will hear news around May 19, plus or minus five days - a rather potent point in your timeline this month.
An eclipse in your own sign and near your birthday usually sets off big lifestyle changes, so hold on to your hat. Eclipses often don''t reveal all their shifts at once - there is almost always a second act to be played out in the weeks to come. (If your birthday doesn''t fall near April 19, you won''t notice many changes at all from this eclipse, but you might notice something from future eclipses set to arrive six months from now, in October.) No matter what, you may want to take note of what issues surface now - in six months, present day talks will be much more developed.
The eclipse last month was mainly favorable. Because all eclipses introduce unexpected influences, even the best ones can give your tummy butterflies. Soon we learn that sometimes we have to give up one thing to get something better. A new moon solar eclipse opens up a whole new path, so if you were born in the third week of April, this could be a time of lots of change, but exciting fresh starts, too.
That eclipse was the first in a whole series due to fall in Aries and Libra every six months now until early 2006. The universe feels things have become a little too boring, and sent these eclipses to shake things up a bit. You won''t feel all of them - only those that highlight your birthday (within five days of the date that I give you). In the case of last month''s eclipse, only Aries born at the end of the sign, from April 14-19, would feel its effects.
There was one problem with that eclipse on April 19. Mars and Pluto were opposite one another in the sky, and that suggests a political decision in your office could be a source of some frustration. Mars is your ruler, so you may feel some resistance from higher-ups. By this month that opposition will have passed its fullest point, so you might find it a little easier to get your way.
The next eclipse (not part of the Aries/Libra set) will fall this month in Scorpio on May 4, and will bring a financial situation or settlement to fullness. This is a full moon lunar eclipse, so it will bring an ending, perhaps a final chapter in a very long negotiation. This eclipse will be in a good angle to Uranus and to Saturn, suggesting you may get some money you had not anticipated.
You might want to buy a raffle ticket at this time. (Forget lotto tickets, as I doubt you have the aspects for a prize that big! However, you might win a school raffle, especially if drawn close to May 4.) It is also possible you will receive a payment from an insurance company (as a result of a court settlement) or finish up an agreement for the division of property in a divorce.
Lunar eclipses like the one due this month generally stir up more emotions than solar eclipses. This full moon will be in a hard angle to Neptune, so you may be unclear about some of the terms. In that case, take everything slowly. The rule of thumb is not to make rash moves on eclipses because there is so much static in the air it''s often hard to think straight. A miscommunication is always possible so go out of your way to be clear. You may be asked to sign or present paperwork, facts and figures, and with the Sun in Taurus, you will have to be sure you have all the necessary information locked down and in apple pie order.
Mars will oppose Pluto again at this eclipse, so bosses and clients will make decisions that will favor them politically, rather than what might be fair and just for you. That''s reality, so you might as well go with the flow. As said before, when Pluto is challenging your ruling planet (Mars), it''s hard to get your way. That is the only tough aspect associated with this eclipse, and considering how harmonious the other planets will be in the sky at the time, I feel you will come out ahead.
More financial dealings will be due on the month''s new moon, May 19 and in the two weeks that follow - at which time you should get some good news about your income. At the same time, this new moon (NOT an eclipse) will be in a tough angle to Uranus, which could rattle you a little. You may get some not-so-great news about an expense you hadn''t counted on or an obligation you will have to meet with any money that comes in. Hence, money will come in and money will go out, without having spent much time in your pocket.
You may be hampered a bit by the impending retrograde action of Venus, to be out of phase from May 17 to June 29. Venus rules your second house of earned income, so there could be some sort of holdup about getting paid from a client who owes you money, or concern about when a raise might kick in. (It''s more annoying than tragic, so try to keep things in perspective. I am so sorry to have to flag this probable delay for you.) My best advice is that you should try to get your money well before Venus turns retrograde, because after that, it appears you will have to be patient until the end of June.
Your home will soon become a big focus, especially from May 7 to June 23, thanks to the arrival of Mars, a planet sure to light up this area brilliantly for you. If you need to move, renovate, redecorate or find a new roommate, this would be the best time of the year to start your project. You are sure to find several suitable ideas, and because Mercury will not be retrograde, you will finally be able to move forward with those plans. Still, Saturn will be lumbering along in the same area of your chart, so you will likely proceed cautiously - a good idea. You seem to be looking at all the ramifications of your actions, almost like a chess player would do, and that''s a positive development. Your best day for these discussions will be May 17, when home-related plans should click neatly into place, almost magically.
Travel this month will be sweet and fun. You wouldn''t even have to stay away very long very to benefit from this lovely influence. Mars and his lover Venus will both travel close in Gemini, the sign that lights your quick-travel third house sector. Your sweetest weekend to pack and go would be on the weekend of May 1-2 when Venus and Mars will cuddle especially close.
This month you may also spend a little extra time with one of your siblings. Your sister or brother may invite you to go to a social event or to their house this month - if so, go, because you''d really enjoy yourself.
Now that Jupiter will end its retrograde phase and turn to more powerful, direct speed as of May 4, if you decide to work on building a healthy lifestyle, you will start to see impressive rewards. If you have been ill and have been seeking the right medical treatment, you could experience a breakthrough in the days surrounding May 4.
In terms of fitness, if you would like get in better shape, you have the perfect date to begin a diet, May 21. On that day, Mars will reach out to Jupiter, currently based in your sixth house of fitness and health. Jupiter''s been coaxing you to consider the old adage, "you are what you eat." If you keep the food you eat natural instead of processed and you''ll start to look great in no time flat. If you begin exercising two weeks PRIOR to May 21 and keep your plan going, you will have an unbeatable formula for success.
On this same day, May 21, a work assignment that could be offered to you may be quite interesting - profitable, too. I feel you will likely take any assignment offered, because there appears to be something special about it. You might be able to make a name for yourself on this project, and once you prove you can do a fine job, more such assignments will come. This would be an ideal day to do a client presentation or to find other ways to bring in new business.
Your one frustrating day of the month might be May 25, when Mars and Saturn are due to conjoin. Mars will urge you to act in an assertive way, but Saturn will coax you to do just the opposite - rather, to stop, look closely and carefully plot out your plan. This is like a coming together of two very different elements - fire and ice - so you probably will feel stymied on some level. Saturn, being the slower-moving planet of the two, will win this contest. See the bright side: Slowing down may benefit you, dear Aries.
As mentioned earlier, Venus will shut down for a nap when it retrogrades from May 17 to June 29. Venus not only rules your earned income, but feelings in a close relationship. If you are part of a couple, be prepared for the possibility that your relationship might hit a few speed bumps. If there has been anything bothering your partner, Venus retrograde will help you get to the crux of it. Venus will also allow you to clear the air, once and for all. If your relationship is important to you, putting in an extra effort will be worthwhile.
On another note, one family relationship (not with a sibling) may ALSO become a little touchy. As an Aries, you don''t usually like playing role of referee or diplomat (you find it too restrictive) but this month, it will be the best tactic to take on all fronts. In terms of your family, blame rambunctious Mars in your fourth house for any short tempers you encounter with family members. Mars'' job is to bring hidden feelings to the surface, so just be glad to find them so you can dispel them.
Romantically, weekend travel will be the way to bring more love and fun into your life. As said before, May 1-2 would be your ideal time for a trip.
At home, put a big star on Saturday May 15 through Monday, May 17 as weekend that glitters with romantic potential, particularly for home-related activities. You might want to invite your sweetie over to your house to whip up a great meal together. The moon will be in Aries and Mars and Uranus will collaborate to bring terrific surprises.
If you want to meet someone you met on an Internet, or go on a blind date, do so in the same three days that span May 15-17, ideal for this!
Summary:
A financial plan or deal that has been pending for months will finalize at the full moon lunar eclipse May 4. Also, when Jupiter regulates its orbit in the first week, projects or relationships with people based at a distance will move forward - hold on to your hat!
Later, the new moon on May 19 could easily bring you a new source of income. A new job or client could be in the offing. With Mars putting a strong emphasis on your home environment as well, you may be contemplating a re-location. Even if you are not, you appear to be plotting home improvements or a switch of roommates.
Finally, Aries is a competitive sign that always enjoys physical activity, but never more than now. With Jupiter''s help, you will have a chance to increase your fitness level by trying something new and challenging. If you need to lose weight, start your diet on or just after May 23 for best luck, not before. You''ll have success!

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
Your May horoscope by Susan Miller
Relationships are about to make headline news in your life, dear Taurus. This will come as a result of the May 4 full moon lunar eclipse, and the closer your birthday falls to May 4, the more dramatically you will feel this influence. All eclipses that fall near your birthday (or touch other planets in your chart) bring on major milestones and moments to remember. They also tend to reveal certain truths and trigger life-altering events.
This eclipse, because it is a full moon eclipse, will bring a relationship matter to climax, and it probably will herald an emotional time. That doesn''t mean news will necessarily be bad-emotions may be quite happy. Lunar eclipses are always more emotional than solar eclipses for they call up old memories and dreams, and touch us in ways that other lunar events don''t in quite the same way.
In terms of your closest relationship, if things have been going exceedingly well, then this month may mark the time of an engagement or wedding. If you feel it''s too soon for that, you and your significant other may decide to live together or at the very least, share your feelings for one another.
If you are already committed to a partner, he or she will likely bring you surprising and major news. Your partner might be ready to announce a new life direction or a decision such as to change jobs, buy property or go back to school for a university degree, for example.
If things have NOT been going well between you and your spouse, partner or steady date, this month''s eclipse on May 4 will ask you to consider how much more effort you are willing to put into your relationship. If the answer is "not much" then you might leave. On the other hand, if you feel there is hope for this relationship, with effort you will be able to forge a deeper bond between you.
A full moon eclipse like the one on May 4 will always make you more cognizant of differences you have rather than the similarities you share. That''s why full moon eclipses (lunar eclipses) tend to bring tension. Sometimes the universe will give us the opportunity to bridge the gap, should you find one with your partner. At other times that won''t be possible, perhaps because it would amount to "too little, too late."
I tend to think that things WILL work in your favor because this eclipse forms a golden triangle with Uranus (positive surprises and opportunities) and Saturn (practical outcomes with long-term stability). To have a "grand trine" such as this is quite lucky, so certainly there will be some very positive results from the May 4 eclipse. I cannot see everything going on in your chart, so I will say that most Taurus born near May 4 will like the outcome of this aspect.
Keep in mind that some eclipses don''t deliver their messages until a month to the day later, plus or minus five days. That means you should keep your antenna up in the days that surround June 4. Occasionally we have eclipses that don''t deliver all their news until Mars moves over the same degree as the eclipse (in this case 16 degrees Scorpio). If this will be true for you, you need to watch the first week of December 2004 for more information.
The one problem with this eclipse in that the moon will be in a tough angle to Neptune, suggesting that clear communication will take some effort. Keep checking with your partner to make sure what you have said is what was understood. Be careful, too, that you are picking up the right message from your partner. Neptune is one planet capable of creating quite a bit of confusion. If you are about to sign a contract, have your lawyer go over it with a fine-tooth comb. Take your time to read it carefully before you sign it, too.
All this month and next month it will be very important that you keep watch over your health; an eclipse near your birthday can be very draining (even if your news is happy). This is true whether you were born near the date of this month''s eclipse, May 4, or last month''s eclipse, April 19. An eclipse will block the Sun, so energy may become low and your resistance to fight illness a little less robust. If any health concern does surface this month, seek medical help sooner than you otherwise would to nip things in the bud.
An eclipse will often make someone you know disappear from your everyday life-in this case it would be a woman because this is a lunar eclipse. If you are a woman, you may be the one to leave someone else''s life, with a decision to leave a relationship or your job, for example.
Last month we had a solar eclipse on April 19. If your birthday falls from April 20 to April 24, that eclipse would have touched you more powerfully than this month''s eclipse, even though last month''s was in late degrees of Aries. (It was certainly close enough to your birthday.) Last month''s eclipse was a new moon, indicating fresh starts, so if you are a Taurus with a birthday near April 20 to April 24, you may be looking forward to initiating new plans very soon.
If you were born closer to May 15, last year was to be your more important year, for we had a lunar eclipse fall on that day in 2003.
A second eclipse came by in Taurus last year on November 8, 2003, so if your birthday falls closer to May 6, you would have noticed the effects of that November eclipse, six months ago.
Looking ahead, we will have one other eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2004. That one will highlight Taurus with birthdays on or within five days of April 25.
The eclipses in the Taurus-Scorpio family will end next year, with the last one due on April 24, 2005. That one will again highlight April-born Taurus. By then, your transformation will be complete. Once you are done with the April 24, 2005 eclipse, all Taurus will be finished with eclipses in your sign until 2013.
If you have no partners in your life (not even a business partner or collaborator), the May 4 eclipse may be quite mild for you. The only other way you might notice changes around you is if you are in business and have very aggressive competitors, for they would probably be quite active now. If so, you will need to quickly come up with strategies to thwart any attempts to take away a piece of your pie.
Last month, all month, Mercury was retrograde. Venus, your ruler, is about to go retrograde, too, from May 17 until June 29. The fact that Venus is your ruler means that your progress on projects dear to you will temporarily move at a slower pace until July.
Because Venus will be in Gemini and retrograde in your second house of earned income, anticipate delays in everyday financial dealings. You may have a harder time getting a raise approved (it might take affect later), or you may have to track down checks owed to you by certain people. Knowing this, try to get all your personal business done prior to May 17, the date Venus turns retrograde.
It goes without saying that Venus retrograde would not be a good time to have cosmetic surgery-Venus rules beauty and you would want a strong Venus when you schedule that! You may want to delay throwing an important party or buying expensive clothing, too. If you need a new suit or other outfit, be sure to shop far in advance of Venus'' retrograde start date of May 17.
You may have noted that your personal expenses have been running high, as Mars has been moving through the same second house of your horoscope where Venus is now based. (Mars is known to bring spending.) This will be the case only until May 7.
The new moon on May 19 will be in Taurus; it is not an eclipse. All new moons pave the way for a brand new cycle. You can take what you learned this month, me***ate about all the changes around you and announce your response at or after May 19. It''s a time to plant seeds, so have key meetings after that new moon. If you were born near May 19, this new moon will benefit you more than most.
Mars will enter your short distance travel house on May 7, and from then until June 23 you will have lots of reasons to escape town and enjoy relaxing times. At work, there will be lots going on-many meetings seem to be on the docket. (No doubt things were delayed last month while Mercury was retrograde.) You''ll enjoy the activity, but you will need to decompress and chill out on weekends. As you will see in the discussion that follows, the universe will help you do that. I think you are in for quite a bit of fun!
Your magnetism will operate at an all time high all month. While you are such a powerful people-magnet, try to get out and socialize. Jupiter is now based in your fifth house of love and romance, but hasn''t been working hard for you because it''s been retrograde for months. However, the good news is that Jupiter will go direct on May 4 from now on. This is great news for your love life!
A lovely date night will fall over the weekend of May 8-9 when the moon will be in fellow-earth sign Capricorn. Jupiter will be very friendly to this moon from its position in your house of true love.
Then, later in the month you will have another terrific day on Monday, May 17. News you receive from a friend will thrill you and touch you. It will be clear your friend cares about you and wants to include you in certain activities. It''s also true that friends will be looking out for your welfare. On this day you will have a happy cooperation between Mars and Uranus to thank for your good fortune. It will be a surprisingly positive day.
Your best, most glittering weekend will arrive over Friday, May 21 - Sunday, May 23. Beginning on Friday May 21, Mars will be in a perfect angle to good luck Jupiter, and as mentioned before, Jupiter is now perfectly placed in your fifth house of true love. Mars will urge you to travel, and hopefully you will be able to. Simultaneously, Mercury will be in a marvelous angle to both Jupiter and Uranus. You may get a last minute invitation to visit a friend. If so, accept!
This weekend, May 21-23, should be solid gold for you for many reasons. Even if you don''t take a trip, be sure to make it your key night for fun and love. You deserve lots of fun - this weekend virtually assures you will get it.
Summary
As a Taurus you have experienced radical changes in one close relationship - for better or worse, and that trend will continue this month. Watch the lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 4 for news. If you are haunted by a past romance that ended painfully, try to set aside those feelings so that you can give your new romantic partner a fair chance.
Friends and siblings have good ideas for you now. Rather than turn a dear ear, take in all that they have to say.
By the new moon in Taurus on May 19 you will feel ready to break out of a limiting situation. With the turn of Venus to retrograde, financials may need to be revisited or revised. Certain goals will be temporarily delayed until others catch up with your timetable. However, Jupiter''s strong orbit in May could easily bring an influx of cash, too, the most likely source a bank, insurance company, or former partner.
Travel can now lighten your mood and would provide you with the valuable quiet time you need to sort out the month''s developments. You are moving into a new role, and need to decide just how to best make the transition.

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
Your May horoscope by Susan Miller
Relationships are about to make headline news in your life, dear Taurus. This will come as a result of the May 4 full moon lunar eclipse, and the closer your birthday falls to May 4, the more dramatically you will feel this influence. All eclipses that fall near your birthday (or touch other planets in your chart) bring on major milestones and moments to remember. They also tend to reveal certain truths and trigger life-altering events.
This eclipse, because it is a full moon eclipse, will bring a relationship matter to climax, and it probably will herald an emotional time. That doesn''t mean news will necessarily be bad-emotions may be quite happy. Lunar eclipses are always more emotional than solar eclipses for they call up old memories and dreams, and touch us in ways that other lunar events don''t in quite the same way.
In terms of your closest relationship, if things have been going exceedingly well, then this month may mark the time of an engagement or wedding. If you feel it''s too soon for that, you and your significant other may decide to live together or at the very least, share your feelings for one another.
If you are already committed to a partner, he or she will likely bring you surprising and major news. Your partner might be ready to announce a new life direction or a decision such as to change jobs, buy property or go back to school for a university degree, for example.
If things have NOT been going well between you and your spouse, partner or steady date, this month''s eclipse on May 4 will ask you to consider how much more effort you are willing to put into your relationship. If the answer is "not much" then you might leave. On the other hand, if you feel there is hope for this relationship, with effort you will be able to forge a deeper bond between you.
A full moon eclipse like the one on May 4 will always make you more cognizant of differences you have rather than the similarities you share. That''s why full moon eclipses (lunar eclipses) tend to bring tension. Sometimes the universe will give us the opportunity to bridge the gap, should you find one with your partner. At other times that won''t be possible, perhaps because it would amount to "too little, too late."
I tend to think that things WILL work in your favor because this eclipse forms a golden triangle with Uranus (positive surprises and opportunities) and Saturn (practical outcomes with long-term stability). To have a "grand trine" such as this is quite lucky, so certainly there will be some very positive results from the May 4 eclipse. I cannot see everything going on in your chart, so I will say that most Taurus born near May 4 will like the outcome of this aspect.
Keep in mind that some eclipses don''t deliver their messages until a month to the day later, plus or minus five days. That means you should keep your antenna up in the days that surround June 4. Occasionally we have eclipses that don''t deliver all their news until Mars moves over the same degree as the eclipse (in this case 16 degrees Scorpio). If this will be true for you, you need to watch the first week of December 2004 for more information.
The one problem with this eclipse in that the moon will be in a tough angle to Neptune, suggesting that clear communication will take some effort. Keep checking with your partner to make sure what you have said is what was understood. Be careful, too, that you are picking up the right message from your partner. Neptune is one planet capable of creating quite a bit of confusion. If you are about to sign a contract, have your lawyer go over it with a fine-tooth comb. Take your time to read it carefully before you sign it, too.
All this month and next month it will be very important that you keep watch over your health; an eclipse near your birthday can be very draining (even if your news is happy). This is true whether you were born near the date of this month''s eclipse, May 4, or last month''s eclipse, April 19. An eclipse will block the Sun, so energy may become low and your resistance to fight illness a little less robust. If any health concern does surface this month, seek medical help sooner than you otherwise would to nip things in the bud.
An eclipse will often make someone you know disappear from your everyday life-in this case it would be a woman because this is a lunar eclipse. If you are a woman, you may be the one to leave someone else''s life, with a decision to leave a relationship or your job, for example.
Last month we had a solar eclipse on April 19. If your birthday falls from April 20 to April 24, that eclipse would have touched you more powerfully than this month''s eclipse, even though last month''s was in late degrees of Aries. (It was certainly close enough to your birthday.) Last month''s eclipse was a new moon, indicating fresh starts, so if you are a Taurus with a birthday near April 20 to April 24, you may be looking forward to initiating new plans very soon.
If you were born closer to May 15, last year was to be your more important year, for we had a lunar eclipse fall on that day in 2003.
A second eclipse came by in Taurus last year on November 8, 2003, so if your birthday falls closer to May 6, you would have noticed the effects of that November eclipse, six months ago.
Looking ahead, we will have one other eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2004. That one will highlight Taurus with birthdays on or within five days of April 25.
The eclipses in the Taurus-Scorpio family will end next year, with the last one due on April 24, 2005. That one will again highlight April-born Taurus. By then, your transformation will be complete. Once you are done with the April 24, 2005 eclipse, all Taurus will be finished with eclipses in your sign until 2013.
If you have no partners in your life (not even a business partner or collaborator), the May 4 eclipse may be quite mild for you. The only other way you might notice changes around you is if you are in business and have very aggressive competitors, for they would probably be quite active now. If so, you will need to quickly come up with strategies to thwart any attempts to take away a piece of your pie.
Last month, all month, Mercury was retrograde. Venus, your ruler, is about to go retrograde, too, from May 17 until June 29. The fact that Venus is your ruler means that your progress on projects dear to you will temporarily move at a slower pace until July.
Because Venus will be in Gemini and retrograde in your second house of earned income, anticipate delays in everyday financial dealings. You may have a harder time getting a raise approved (it might take affect later), or you may have to track down checks owed to you by certain people. Knowing this, try to get all your personal business done prior to May 17, the date Venus turns retrograde.
It goes without saying that Venus retrograde would not be a good time to have cosmetic surgery-Venus rules beauty and you would want a strong Venus when you schedule that! You may want to delay throwing an important party or buying expensive clothing, too. If you need a new suit or other outfit, be sure to shop far in advance of Venus'' retrograde start date of May 17.
You may have noted that your personal expenses have been running high, as Mars has been moving through the same second house of your horoscope where Venus is now based. (Mars is known to bring spending.) This will be the case only until May 7.
The new moon on May 19 will be in Taurus; it is not an eclipse. All new moons pave the way for a brand new cycle. You can take what you learned this month, me***ate about all the changes around you and announce your response at or after May 19. It''s a time to plant seeds, so have key meetings after that new moon. If you were born near May 19, this new moon will benefit you more than most.
Mars will enter your short distance travel house on May 7, and from then until June 23 you will have lots of reasons to escape town and enjoy relaxing times. At work, there will be lots going on-many meetings seem to be on the docket. (No doubt things were delayed last month while Mercury was retrograde.) You''ll enjoy the activity, but you will need to decompress and chill out on weekends. As you will see in the discussion that follows, the universe will help you do that. I think you are in for quite a bit of fun!
Your magnetism will operate at an all time high all month. While you are such a powerful people-magnet, try to get out and socialize. Jupiter is now based in your fifth house of love and romance, but hasn''t been working hard for you because it''s been retrograde for months. However, the good news is that Jupiter will go direct on May 4 from now on. This is great news for your love life!
A lovely date night will fall over the weekend of May 8-9 when the moon will be in fellow-earth sign Capricorn. Jupiter will be very friendly to this moon from its position in your house of true love.
Then, later in the month you will have another terrific day on Monday, May 17. News you receive from a friend will thrill you and touch you. It will be clear your friend cares about you and wants to include you in certain activities. It''s also true that friends will be looking out for your welfare. On this day you will have a happy cooperation between Mars and Uranus to thank for your good fortune. It will be a surprisingly positive day.
Your best, most glittering weekend will arrive over Friday, May 21 - Sunday, May 23. Beginning on Friday May 21, Mars will be in a perfect angle to good luck Jupiter, and as mentioned before, Jupiter is now perfectly placed in your fifth house of true love.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Your May horoscope by Susan Miller
With a full moon lunar eclipse due on May 4, expect major changes on the work front. A trusted female coworker may leave. As a result you might have to take on her job as well as yours, at least for now. On top project you are working on now appears to be due as well. You will have to keep your wits about you to make sure nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
On top of this, a major new assignment appears to be shaping up behind the scenes, and you will have to decide how to fit it neatly into your already packed schedule. Although you may feel exhausted with so much to attend to this month, it will also be flattering to be so valued by your company, dear Gemini.
Money matters appear to have been a concern, but this eclipse may give you reason to be optimistic. It appears that a surprise job offer or new piece of business (aside from the one mentioned above) will delight you. The compensation will please you, too. When the offer arrives, it may seem like a miracle. The income will provide you with a measure of security you have not had for some time.
The reason I feel this new offer will come to you is that this lunar eclipse on May 4 will fall in Scorpio, a shrewdly financial sign. The eclipse will be in an excellent angle to both Uranus, the planet of unexpected developments, and Saturn, planet of long-range plans. Most eclipses are not this harmonious, so be happy for this cosmic favor! Even should you get news you don''t like (unlikely, but anything is possible), be patient. Occasionally an eclipse will need *****btract an element from your life to make room for the prize it has chosen for you. Trust in the wisdom of the universe, and never make decisions out of fear.
Money seems to have been a sore spot for you since mid-2003, dear Gemini. Having Saturn in the second house, as you do, often forces us to make a change in the way we handle or earn money. One area of income may have dried up recently, so you might have had to focus in on finding new sources. A financial reorganization has probably been long overdue, but with Saturn in this area of your chart, you have had to proceed with caution. This eclipse on May 4 plus or minus five days may mean that something positive will develop for your financial affairs.
At the same time, this month Mars will move into your second house of income and possessions on May 7 and remain there until June 23. Mars'' presence in this house would normally encourage you to spend quite a bit of money, but I doubt this will happen. (This cycle occurs every two years.) This time, Mars will orbit close to Saturn, a planet that teaches the value of thrift. While you may WANT to spend freely, I don''t think you will. Instead, you will likely follow a more conservative course. Looking at your chart, it seems reasonable to assume you have a few old bills on your desk that will need to be paid. Doing so will be a relief and give you firmer footing.
The coming months (June or July) will bring an influx of more cash than you''ve seen all year - a lovely prospect, but you will have to make a concerted effort to find your bounty. By next year, July 2005, Saturn will move out of this area of your chart, release you from so many of the financial restraints you feel now. As you see, you are heading in the right direction, dear Gemini.
In terms of health, at the time of the May 4 eclipse you may feel run down and in need of rest. A full moon in the sixth house (as you have) will often will lower the body''s resistance to illness. Treat yourself well this month, dear Gemini. Remember that an eclipse can be felt either immediately, within five days of its appearance, or one month to the day later, which would bring you to the days surrounding June 4.
Happily, you can turn yourself into a lean, mean energy machine if you make a few small changes to your lifestyle this month. Try to eat a diet of fresh foods, enjoy more sleep and to get a bit more exercise. If you feel well, the May 4 eclipse would be an ideal time to begin to cut back on calories if you feel you need to lose a few pounds. (For best luck, begin your diet on May 10.) If you don''t feel well, put off your diet until next month, for you should never diet when you feel less than robust.
If you have a more serious medical concern, the beautiful aspects associated with the May 4 eclipse will help you if you get the right medical attention. You will have to be careful of any new medicines you take this month, for the eclipse will be in a hard angle to Neptune, which might give you a bad reaction. Be sure to ask about side effects.
Now let''s turn to your home and family, a sweet spot in your chart. Home-related matters will get a big boost once Jupiter finally stops retrograding on May 4. When any planet is retrograde, its benefits are reduced. Happily, Jupiter, the planet of good luck and happiness, whose gifts we all want, will finally speed forward in direct motion until early February 2005. If you need to look at a new space, buy a cool new piece of furniture or find a new roommate, start now. If you were considering refinancing your house or condo, this would be the time to talk with your banker.
If you have a dream that needs financial support, speak to your family, for they appear to be staunchly on your side. You may get a loan from your parents, or even an outright cash gift for a down payment. September will be a key month for home and property matters, because many positive planets will be crowded into your fourth house of home. You might want to plan now to have all your ducks in a row so that you can be ready to act at on or just after the new moon, September 15, your luckiest moment of the year for any home or property-related decision.
Romantically, with Venus in Gemini all month, in May, you''ll be the zodiac''s number-one heartthrob. Venus will spend quite a bit of time in your sign, which will give you an enormous advantage in matters of the heart. If you ever wondered if you would meet your soul mate, this once-in-eight year cycle is just made for you. It will make you stand out!
Venus will turn retrograde from May 17 to June 29. This means that if you are in a new relationship but feel things have moved a little too quickly, you can gently apply the brakes without spoiling the momentum you and your new sweetheart have created. Venus retrograde will give you the breathing room you need to pace things a little more to your liking.
On the other hand, if you are in a relationship that is not right for you, Venus retrograde will help you reconsider the wisdom of getting involved any further. It is also possible with Venus retrograde that an old flame will come back in your life.
If you are married or attached, Venus retrograde may bring an old problem to the surface for more discussion. This may be an issue you have longed to resolve, but for some reason have been unable to. Perhaps this time you can put the problem to rest once and for all. Retrograde planets always give us a second chance.
Venus retrograde would NOT be the time to schedule cosmetic surgery. Venus rules good looks, so you would need a strong, positive Venus behind you for such an undertaking, not one that is sleeping! Delay buying expensive clothes or jewelry during late May and June, and avoid booking costly spa or salon treatments for a while, too. You will have the advantage of Venus in Gemini until August 5, so why not wait until July to attend to some of these matters? If you need to throw a major party or benefit, schedule it for any time before May 17 or after June 29 for greatest success.
Remember, having Venus in Gemini is a plus, even if it will be retrograde later in the month. Venus in this mode will slow things down, but it won''t squash your new relationship completely!
Let''s list your very best date nights:
On Saturday, May 1, the moon will glide in Libra and Jupiter and Saturn will be beautifully positioned to each other. This would be an ideal for a first date, or for a date where future plans will be discussed.
Friday, May 14 and Saturday, May 15, will bring the moon in Aries, a perfect spot for you. Do a sport together - a little competition will bring ***y fun.
On Thursday, May 20, the moon will be in Gemini... Need I say more? You''ll get things your way.
And finally, mark the weekend of May 22 - 23, when Mercury, your ruler, will be so perfectly aligned to Jupiter. This would be an ideal weekend for a drive in the country. Dinner out would be a good idea, for conversation would surely sparkle!
There will be certain dates this month that will be outstanding for other reasons, so before I go, let''s talk about those.
As said above, Saturday, May 1 will bring Jupiter in perfect alignment to Saturn. This day would also be ideal for home and family-related matters. If you make a real estate decision on this day, it will be one you like well enough to live with for many years to come.
Career-wise, we talked about the possibility of a lucky break coming up as a result of the eclipse on May 4.
On Monday, May 17, Mars will signal Uranus (unexpected developments), so be ready to act. Your phone may ring with exciting news. Schedule a key career-oriented meeting on Friday, May 14 or Monday, May 17. Money matters will shine, so go for the gold.
Friday, May 21 will be a fabulous day when real estate matters will shine. A lucrative profit or good bargain would be there for you if you look. Mercury, your ruling planet, will seek out Uranus, so ideas will rain down on you like pennies from heaven. You may find yourself at precisely the right place at the right time. It will be a lucky day, times two!
Finally, on Sunday, May 23, see if you can take a little trip. Mercury will reach out to lucky Jupiter, so any trip you take would be crazy fun. It would also be an ideal time to sign a contract.
As you see you have plenty to look forward to this month, dear Gemini!
Summary:
You''ve tried to increase your cash flow without success over the past year, but this month you will finally get your chance to earn much more. This will all come as a result of having stabilizing Saturn in a friendly angle to lucky Jupiter. Although you probably won''t see your bank balance increase until June or July, there will be no doubt in your mind that this month will mark a turning point in helping you build a more secure future. You may land a new work assignment, take on a part time job, or bring in a new client for your firm.
Throughout May, watch your health - add a bit of OJ and extra fruit to your diet. Your chart suggests your resistance may be low.
In love, Venus will retrograde in your sign on May 17, so you may change your mind about a relationship or slow things down in a new, exciting liaison if you feel it has heated up too quickly. By the end of next month, your love life will enter a smooth and silky phase. Remain optimistic. With clear eyes, you will be ready to map out your future.
On Thursday, May 20, behind-the-scenes talks will go brilliantly. You may not be able to discuss your meeting with others just yet, but later - when things are more set in stone -you will want to shout your good news from the rooftops.

As you see you have plenty to look forward to this month, dear Gemini!
Summary:
You''ve tried to increase your cash flow without success over the past year, but this month you will finally get your chance to earn much more. This will all come as a result of having stabilizing Saturn in a friendly angle to lucky Jupiter. Although you probably won''t see your bank balance increase until June or July, there will be no doubt in your mind that this month will mark a turning point in helping you build a more secure future. You may land a new work assignment, take on a part time job, or bring in a new client for your firm.
Throughout May, watch your health - add a bit of OJ and extra fruit to your diet. Your chart suggests your resistance may be low.
In love, Venus will retrograde in your sign on May 17, so you may change your mind about a relationship or slow things down in a new, exciting liaison if you feel it has heated up too quickly. By the end of next month, your love life will enter a smooth and silky phase. Remain optimistic. With clear eyes, you will be ready to map out your future.
On Thursday, May 20, behind-the-scenes talks will go brilliantly. You may not be able to discuss your meeting with others just yet, but later - when things are more set in stone -you will want to shout your good news from the rooftops.
P.S.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Your May horoscope by Susan Miller
Life certainly has not been easy lately, dear Cancer. Saturn, the planet that brings hard life lessons, has finished almost half of its two-year orbit through your sign. By now you are coping with a range of new challenges and responsibilities, and undergoing a major life transition. The universe requires each of us *****bmit to a two-year tour of duty with Saturn every 29 years. Your period began in June 2003 and is set to end in July 2005.
Saturn is a little like a personal trainer. At first we don''t like a thing he says. He seems pushy and annoying. Everything he makes you do seems to make you hurt a little. However, soon you start to look and feel completely different ... and better. You begin to see that all the hard work Saturn has done on your life was good and necessary.
For a long time, Saturn centered most of its harsh tests on those Cancers born in June, but that has recently changed. Saturn''s orbit is speeding ahead and will now shift its attention to Cancers with birthdays from July 1 to 15. If your birthday is named, you will be dealing directly with Saturn from May through September 2004.
If your birthday falls later in the month, from July 15 to 22, you will be next in line and will deal directly with Saturn from September through December 2004.
If your birthday falls prior to June 30, you are finished with the hardest part of Saturn''s visit. Of course, Saturn is still in Cancer, so it''s not exactly party time yet, but life will be a little easier.
Saturn will begin to retrograde in November 2004, so this taskmaster planet will backtrack over part of its previous path. This means Cancers born from July 12 to July 22 will feel Saturn''s challenges again for the first half of 2005. To be fair, the universe makes sure everyone deals with Saturn for roughly the same number of months. Nobody is singled out for extra time.
Keep in mind that next year''s experience (2005) will be your easiest portion of this trend, no matter when your birthday falls. Last year, from June to December 2003, you weren''t yet coping with changes, but rather you were getting the lay of the land. And next year, 2005, when you reach the tail end of Saturn''s visit, to span January to July 2005, you will wrap up what you learned. The hardest portion of this trend almost always falls to the middle year, and that''s what you are in now. You can pass Saturn''s tests, dear Cancer! You are almost though the hardest part, so don''t give up!
You have not had much help from the other planets lately, but happily, you will start to get some solid assistance. The good news is that Mars will favor Cancer from May 7 to June 23, a period of roughly seven weeks.
Your sign is known to be a bit reserved, but Mars will make you feisty and uncharacteristically competitive. You seem tired of waiting for other people to make things happen for you. Mars will urge you to go out and make opportunities happen for yourself. You''ve correctly concluded that life won''t get better until you MAKE it better. That is one of Saturn''s lessons - not to lean on others but to be fully accountable for your life. Now you have a terrific chance to turn the tides to your favor. Endeavors started with Mars in your sign usually become extremely successful. With Mars at your side, you will more likely put in a great deal of effort to your plans, a powerful reason they will have an outstanding chance of success.
Mars rules any matter requiring a strenuous push - right now you are capable of more staying power than you might suppose. Your passion will be strong and will encourage people in authority to help you. So get to it, dear Cancer. You are now beginning a key two-year cycle. What you do now has legs and will be able to take you so very far.
Against this backdrop, this will also be quite an emotional month with a full moon lunar eclipse in your fifth house of true love on May 4. It will be a fortunate eclipse for you for it will fall in a compatible water sign, Scorpio. Having said that, I need to add that all eclipses add an element of surprise so you can''t always gauge precisely what will happen. With eclipses something always ends and something else begins.
You tend to be very sensitive to lunar eclipses because, as a Cancer, the moon rules your sign. One thing seems certain - an important relationship is about to reach a culmination, whether you had planned for this to happen or not.
How things turn out depends on how things have been going with this relationship over the past year or more. A truly great relationship will get even better, but a shaky one will likely crumble. Certain new facts will come to light. Although that sounds ominous, as said, if you have a strong relationship, the news may make you happy. Eclipses always bring clarity and insight by shedding light on a situation, changing its complexion completely.
The universe will bring outside circumstances to bear on your relationship that will force you to see it differently and to make a move. There is never any fence-sitting allowed when an eclipse is involved! This is a full moon eclipse, which will bring up memories and dreams, so you are likely to feel stirred up a bit, on a very deep level.
Some Cancers will decide to get engaged or married, making this a very happy, memorable time.
However, if things do not go in the direction you had hoped and you are confronted with a breakup, in your discussions try not to put too much emphasis on the past, dear Cancer. It will be tempting to use your history as a couple as a negotiating chit. ("We have been together ten years! How can you leave?" is irrelevant.) The topic of your eclipse should be your future, not your past. Focus on what has changed and how to fix that. Not all problems are fixable. Change what you can, and accept what you cannot.
As mentioned, this eclipse will fall in Scorpio, a possessive sign, suggesting your discussion might center on jealousy - yours or your partner''s. If you have been dating a short time but feel certain about your feelings, you might be upset if your partner wants to play the field or date someone else. This would be an example of different timetables colliding. If you''ve become too insistent about getting your way, you may have frightened your partner away.
The problem with this eclipse is that Neptune will be active, suggesting a miscommunication or misunderstanding is possible. But to get truth, you need to be willing to see it. In that regard, the eclipse will certainly try to show you what "is" as opposed to what "could have been."
Other Cancer readers may focus on a pregnancy (possibly a very joyous development) or the issue of ***ual faithfulness. I say this because the sign in which the eclipse falls, Scorpio, rules ***uality and reproduction.
I hope all goes smoothly, dear Cancer. Sometimes we have to go through a process to get to the fruit on the top branch of the tree. Other times we have to accept what is, and move on. Hopefully, you will enjoy this eclipse. Even if you don''t, you are due to benefit. Because of its position in a water sign, this eclipse will be supportive of your long-range plans. Remain philosophical.
It is hard to negotiate with a person who is giving you news at an eclipse. If you are tempted to change a decision (such as a breakup), try to let the dust settle and wait four months before coming back for a second try. (I say four months because in four months the Sun will "trine" the position of the eclipse, a favorable aspect.)
If your birthday falls on or near July 5, you will be singled out to benefit from the lunar eclipse, more so than other members of your sign.
Now let''s turn to some other developments this month. Jupiter will turn to direct orbit on the very day that the eclipse appears. Jupiter rules your house of health and well-being. If you''ve been trying to get yourself in better shape, Jupiter''s turn direct (which has many benefits) will also help your plans to increase your fitness. For best results, try beginning a cutback on calories on or near May 10.
Venus will retrograde from May 17 to June 29, and during that time life may take on a "no-frills" tone. Venus rules fun and love, but with Venus'' signal weakened, we will all have to shuffle along without her benefic rays.
Venus rules beauty and good looks as well as parties, adornment, fine clothes, jewelry and life''s other indulgences. This retrograde period would NOT be a positive time to schedule cosmetic surgery. It is also not a wise time to throw an important party or benefit, spend money on expensive jewelry or new clothes, or to schedule expensive spa or salon treatments (whether for men or women).
In your chart, Venus has sway over your home and real estate sector. You may find those matters hit snags and delays until Venus turns fully direct on June 29. If you are trying to sell or buy a house, you are likely to have better luck at the very end of June or in July.
Friends will play a large role in your life this month by linking you to new opportunities or making special introductions for you. This will happen in the days after the new moon, May 19.
Although as a shy Cancer you''d probably prefer to snuggle into your apartment and bolt the door, it would be better for you to get out and show your face to the world. Contacts you make while circulating at group functions could turn out to be amazingly helpful. If your birthday falls on or within days of July 19, you will benefit quite dramatically from the new moon in Taurus on May 19. Meet with anyone who is willing to open talks with you!
Travel could well be the cosmic treat of the month. Fantastic opportunities to get out of town may come up at four different points of the month. As a Cancer, you tend to stay home because you take your responsibilities so seriously, but everyone needs a break now and then. This month, you''d do well to find a way to pry yourself away, if only for a long weekend.
First, you may need to travel (or put a deposit on a trip) at the full moon eclipse, May 4. This would be a golden point because on this day Jupiter, the good luck planet, will move forward. Whether you choose to go now or later, near or far, for business or pleasure, you will love the trip you plan or take now.
Next, put a circle around Monday, May 17 as well as the preceding weekend. You may either take a quick, distant trip or hear excellent new from someone based at a distance. Either would send your spirits soaring.
A long weekend sure to bring a happy travel experience would be Friday, May 21 through Sunday, May 23. The moon will be in Cancer, favoring YOU. Also, Jupiter will send a sweet message to Mercury in your house of friendship on this weekend. If you travel that weekend, you''ll enjoy every moment of your trip.
Finally, the weekend of May 29 to May 31 is Memorial Day in the United States, a popular weekend for travel. While this weekend won''t glow quite as brightly as the previous weekend, it will be sweet, with your best day falling on Monday, May 31.
Last month Mercury was retrograde, marking a time of delays and cancellations, but Mercury has since moved forward, so there is no reason to hold back.
Just for clarification, we have been talking about a number of planets turning retrograde this month, but the key one to watch is Mercury (which, as just said is DONE with its retrograde motion). No other planet has the same frustrating effect when retrograde as Mercury.
Mercury rules intellect, communication, transportation, electronics, shipping, contracts and commerce. As you see, the world runs on Mercury, so this planet has a huge effect on everyday life. The next time Mercury will go out of phase will be from August 9 to September 2. If I were you, I''d plan to be away on vacation at that time. (You will have fabulous aspects to flee town.)
Speaking about retrograde planets, when a planet is sliding backwards, it is thought to be weaker in influence. Jupiter has been retrograde since January 3, but will bolt forward on May 4. Jupiter is now in your third house, so this means that your ability to communicate with others is about to take a big leap forward. If you think that''s nothing much, think again.
Sometimes we try and try to get others to take notice of us but the world ignores us. Then one day, we say the same thing in a different way - and suddenly we get results. Go figure. It has to do with the way the information reaches the mind of the person we are trying to persuade. Now, you will get better at this. Also, if you have been awaiting a contract or other paperwork to sign, it will likely show up shortly after May 4.
Your career is changing, too, due to the eclipse last month on April 19. You may already see positive changes shaping up. If nothing occurred, you may see some exciting developments take hold one month to the day after the eclipse due within five days of May 19.
If you did not read last month''s forecast, I think you might want to. In it, I speak a great deal about your work life. With more eclipses due in your work and home sector in October, you may want to start to track changes. (Every month you will find the hyperlink to the previous month''s forecast at the very bottom of this forecast.)
Finally, if you are paid for your ideas (or even if you are not), this month you can take a creative idea and run with it. Your ideas will be taken seriously and you will feel like a million dollars when news of a final approval arrives. The May 4 lunar eclipse in friendly Scorpio will help you on many levels. As they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Summary:
The lunar full moon eclipse on May 4 will bring a change in your closest relationship. How things pan out now depends on your history as a couple. If you''re ready for more, you''ll grow closer and may even become engaged or married. If your relationship leaves much to be desired, it may be time to call a time out, or even quits. If you are not in not in a relationship, you could very likely meet someone new within four days of May 4, so look sharp!
Married Cancers may have that all-important "should-we-have-a-baby-now" talk. If you currently have no relationship, the May 4 eclipse may bring you the one you''ve hoped would come.
Mars will move into Cancer this month, too, a wonderful development that will give you added glitter and glow. Projects and alliances begun while Mars is in your sign usually hit the bull''s eye, so give it all you''ve got. This month the passive approach simply will not do!
