May horo scope 2007

You've been concerned about money lately, but happily, help is on the way. Your career is about to enter a truly dazzling stage, because Mars, the energizer planet, will enter your tenth house of fame and honors for the first time in two years on May 16. Mars is set to stay there for seven weeks.

You will be on the receiving end of plenty of professional opportunities, ones that will truly fit your experience and expertise. VIPs will be within reach, and some will want to go out of their way to help you. The job offers you uncover in the second half of May will be ones that will allow you to increase your status and climb to a higher post in your industry, so truly, you should take this period seriously.

Last month, in the days that followed the new moon on April 17, you may have opened career talks with certain employers or clients. Or, you may have drawn up important blueprints that will help you start your own business. Now you will be able to make more of those fledgling opportunities and plans and actually turn them into reality.

You need to work fast however. While it is true that Mars will remain in your professional sector from May 16 to June 24, there will be another, overlapping trend we need to pay attention to as well, involving Mercury.

Mercury will be retrograde from June 14 until July 9. You need to avoid taking a job when Mercury begins to retrograde next month. We always feel Mercury's slowdown earlier than its onset date, and you will feel it from June 1 onward. As you see, June won't be nearly as productive.

Mercury rules communication, agreements, perception, and commerce, and it is generally not wise to begin a new job when Mercury is retrograde.

The only exception to this rule is if the executive that you are interviewing with is someone you know from your past. In that case, your chart shows that Mercury would be urging you to go back to find new ways to relate together. In that case, it would be apparent that you have more to accomplish together.

However, about ninety-five percent of the time, we don't go back to someone we know when we are interviewing for a job, but to someone new. Acting on a new job offer when Mercury is retrograde is never advised, because the job does not work out. Deals that you make always have to be renegotiated later. It's a time of great confusion and changing circumstances, so the job you take during a retrograde period will almost always evolve into something different, in ways you can't anticipate, and most importantly, in ways you won't like. This is not good! For most people, a career position represents security!

In a nutshell, you will have a golden career phase to use to your advantage from May 16 to 31. All systems will be go, dear Cancer, so get on the stick now, without delay.

Before you enter this important career phase on May 16 you will have a chance to relax and enjoy yourself. In fact, the first phase of your month will be wildly social and highly romantic, and will bring you all kinds of sizzling successes.

Let's start at the very beginning of May, when you start the month with a highly romantic, tender full moon, Monday, May 2. This full moon will extend its influence until Friday, May 6.

It will crystallize feelings in a close relationship you already have, or, if single and unattached, bring you a new person to enjoy. Another way it may touch you is that if you have hoped to have a baby, this full moon could bring the exciting news of pregnancy. (If you ARE pregnant and due soon, this full moon will actually bring on birth within four days of May 2, with the strongest day being May 2.)

I feel you will love the effects of the full moon because it will be so lovingly angled to Uranus, the planet of surprise. You won't expect what is coming, but all the news should be wonderful.

The only drawback to this full moon is that you may be a little stressed out about money because this full moon will be in hard angle to Saturn. Your personal, romantic, or social plans, or preparations for a baby, may put a drain on finances.

If so, this pressure that you seem to have been feeling a lot is only temporary. By early September, the financial nightmare you've been living though for as long as two yeas should begin to end. Truly, you are on the tail end of a 1,000-mile journey, dear Cancer - when Saturn leaves, you will see that making money will be much easier to do in the future!

If you were born on July 4, or within four days of this date, you will benefit doubly from the energy of that full moon May 2. Indeed, it should be a really fun time for you, and remember, it will be operative plus or minus three to four days. You only get one full moon a year in your fifth house of fun and love - this will be it!

Also in the first week of May, you may be wrapping up a highly important creative project, or seeing the gratifying results to a hobby you love.

Travel could easily be on your agenda this month too, especially during the first half of the month. If you aren't getting on a plane for business or pleasure, you may be on the phone quite a bit with people at a distance.

Additionally, a publishing or broadcasting project may be foremost in your mind, or you may be studying hard for final exams in college. You may need to be at the library to do a great deal of research for a thesis, term paper, or white paper for your boss. The overarching theme will be one of either disseminating information through writing, broadcasting, blogging, teaching, or lecturing, or in taking in new information through study, travel, or discussion.

Watch to see what develops in regard to a proposal that someone based afar sends to you on May 5 or 8. This deal could be a good one - you seem happy with the news. These days would also glitter for any sort of distant travel, possibly overseas. During the first half of May, Mars will move through Pisces, a highly compatible nurturing place for Mars to be for you. You seem to have business to conduct with the people who are contacting you. If you need to do a face-to-face meeting, don't wait for June when Mercury will be on the verge of retrograde - book your trip now.

Venus will glide through Cancer from May 8 to June 5, a dazzling time that will make your charms more apparent to others. Venus is not an assertive planet like Mars - her advice will always be to take the subtle, low-key route to attraction. Venus is, essentially, a planet that promotes the power of magnetism, and with Venus in Cancer, it matters not if you are a woman or man, you'll have those powers in abundance this month!

At the new moon May 16, you'll have an extraordinary chance to make new friends and contacts in the days and weeks to follow. You may find that you are planning to go to a seminar, trade show, college orientation program, or other event that draws many people together, and if so, this will be your cue to be open to the new faces around you. If you had hoped to join a new club, this would your moment to send in your application - do so during the week of May 16,

If you were born on July 18, or within five days of this date, you will benefit most.

Best romantic dates: May 1, 2, 11, 19, 25, 29, and 30

By month's end, you may be wrapping up a major work project, or you may be mulling over a job offer. That full moon in Sagittarius will fall on Thursday, May 31. You will feel that you've built up a great deal of momentum, so you can get a lot accomplished.

Keep your health in good shape, as you will be feeling a little drained and you could be susceptible to a cold. You can avoid this by watching how you feel and by giving yourself time to rest when you see you need it. Be sure you are getting the right nutrition, too.

Also at month's end, you may decide you want to lose those extra ten pounds that you have been carrying around. Lose them by being more active and by watching portion sizes, as well as by cutting out food you know isn't good for you.

Summary:

Travel will be on your mind, thanks to the energetic urgings of Mars, now zooming through your journey sector until mid-May. You might find that you are musing about the possibility of visiting one of several locations for a vacation. Don't make a final decision until you investigate all your choices. It appears that the place you really want to visit will suddenly open up when you uncover a truly good bargain package. You'll be most likely to find this package in early May, but you can go whenever you like. Think about the possibility of taking a cruise - this month it would be great fun, especially when Venus is in Cancer after May 8.

If you need to travel for business however, you need to make that trip now, not in June, a less productive month due to an approaching Mercury retrograde.

Career-wise, you seem to have a good handle on your work. It appears to be satisfying and you seem especially well-organized.

With Mars entering your tenth house of fame and honors from May 15 to June 24, you'll be gratified to see your profile rise in your industry. You may interview for a more responsible, important position, or be given praise for your recent projects, or you may announce an entrepreneurial idea that you are about to launch. If you're an athlete, consider the idea of entering a major competition - you'll have all the verve you need to win.

You'll have a fantastic social event coming up on the full moon, May 2, plus or minus four days. It's sure to be a glamorous, dress-up affair not to miss! You may be concerned about the cost of attending, however, but if so, put your mind to solving that problem because it looks like you can find ways to surmount those financial obstacles. Even if you can't, this event seems worth creating a dent in your budget!

Venus will move into Cancer from May 8 to June 5, a lovely influence, and one that will allow you to be happier and to look more radiant, too. You'll find it easier to meet new people now, for Venus increases your charm in ways that will make admirers want to know more almost the instant they meet you. Your confidence will be strong now, too. Having Venus in your sign is a terrific advantage that only happens once a year for about a month.

There's more! On the new moon, May 16, you'll begin to come in contact with new people, some of whom you'd like to get to know better. There's a strong chance you'll make a new friend in the second half of May. Should you come across someone who inspires you in some way, make the first move and extend an invitation for lunch. Don't let the disparity in socio-economic background worry you - it will only matter to you, not your new friend. She or he doesn't care where you shop.

The month closes with you focusing on a big project at work, and also attending to your health. You seem ready to commit to a serious shape-up program or to knuckle down to improving your eating habits. You may also decide it is the right time to schedule medical checkups. Get your eyeglasses checked, as well as your blood pressure, and see your dentist at the full moon May 31. We all need to find the time to do these little appointments - your time has arrived.
