May 2011 horoscopes for Aries
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 Aries.
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.
For you dear Aries, Venus will retrograde in your area of communication, siblings, cousins, short trips and your neighborhood. You have to learn dear Aries to cool down the way you communicate with others, the way you verbally express yourself. You may come to understand that when you use rude words, you lose and when you are kind you win. Some of you may need to work on your relationship with siblings and cousins. You may need to contribute to a neighborhood project to show your appreciation for your vicinity.
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.
It’s a great day to resolve past issues with people you love, specially siblings, cousins or neighbors.
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, you should conclude any financial deal, dear Aries. You may be in the middle of a project but during this full moon you conclude your project and settle the price or the payment. You can make a big amount of money at this time as well, because your ruler, Mars is aspecting beautifully this full moon, and a very profitable project could be ready to be launched.
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.
Mercury will travel through your area of money, and you can sign a very fat contract during this time or find a second job, get an idea to expand your income or make money through the media or other communication vehicles.
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, but for you dear Aries this transit is right in your area of earned money, so chances are you hit the jackpot. On top of this, Mars your ruler planet is in perfect aspect to Mercury, and you can hear fabulous news about a profession profit, or you may get a raise at work, a better position or launch a project with much success.
On the 15th, 16th and 17th, Mars and Pluto are in perfect aspect, a very powerful one.
Whatever you plan or start today tends to progress and grow in a perfect direction.
These are your five stars days dear Aries; anything can happen and if you strive and work harder you can accomplish so much in your career. These are the days you should roll up your sleeves and get the job done, plan an important meeting or present a work project to your boss. You have the power of execution dear Aries.
As I said at the top of the page, Venus starts to retrograde on the 15th and from now on dear Aries don’t make any expensive purchases, wait until after June 27th.
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.
The Sun is ready to enter you sector of communication dear Aries and your focus will be on learning new subjects related to your career which can improve your status at your company and help expand your relationship with celebrities and important people.
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.
Your mind will be full of thoughts and ideas dear Aries, and most of them could be very doable, so don’t discard any concepts, revolutionary though it may look; after all you are the creator and the inventor, and during this Eclipse something really unusual and amazing could impact your life, so long as you go ahead and make a plan.
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 and move on, or unwelcome events can take place and show you what you refuse to see or refuse to change.
Your ruler Mars dear Aries is sending the message to you: Discard old patterns and old philosophies and embrace the new and the unknown, even if you have to navigate through uncharted waters. If it is going to be easy or not… it’s not an issue here, you have the strength to see it through.
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.
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. Make sure you skip today dear Aries to sign any important contracts, but if it’s not up to you to change the date, make sure you have a consultant, like a lawyer examining the contents and making sure you are not being bamboozled.
On May 25th, Mercury enters the sign of Gemini, and the planet of communication becomes more agile and playful.
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.
Now Mercury is entering his own house, in other words, the sector of communication, which is ruled by Mercury. Communication becomes easier for you and you may be involved with media, advertising, publishing and all other communication channels.
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.
But be tactful on the 30th; you may be prone to being harsh with your words, or you may have to talk a lot or give a speech; that is going to leave you exhausted.
“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.
