May 2011 horoscopes for Gemini
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 Gemini.
Venus the goddess of beauty, love, luxury and women’s matters, is going to retrograde. And guess what dear Gemini, Venus is retrograde in your own sign of Gemini! It happens once a year and starts May 15th and finishes on June 27th.
This means that you will have the goddess of beauty on your side, for a much longer period of time and your moment of ‘looking great’ is going to be extended. You will look amazing, charming and attractive. Needless to say, you may get anyone you wish!
Use this time to revive your love for yourself and take good care of the most important person in your life: YOU!
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.
And for you dear Gemini, it’s all about loving yourself, the more you love ‘this special person’ the more you have to offer others. Take this time to schedule all the pampering stuff you think you deserve; don’t settle for less!
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.
At this time you might hear very good news related to a medical issue. If you are experiencing a health problem, today is a perfect day to schedule an appointment with a new doctor, and see what he says about your condition. There is a strong chance your doctor may have a different approach to your problem if any, and the cure could come faster than you think and as early as the 12th, or by the Eclipse on the 20th.
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, if you really have any health problems, I see you finding a perfect treatment or an ultimate cure for you problem.
You may finish a career assignment that could be very profitable. Someone in your family may put his or her hands on this project helping you to launch it or to develop it, which, if done alone would be more difficult to complete.
You could hear good news or a proposal during this full moon, coming from a lover or a friend.
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.
Now your little ruler, Mercury is traveling the most stable and consistent sign Taurus, giving you a temporary phase to have the ability to be direct, forward and effective.
This is a good time to prepare a project, create strategies and operate behind the scenes. Don’t talk about your plans until May 24th.
Use the 10th, when your ruler planet Mercury and the lord of imagination will be in perfect aspect, to find a solution to a problem related to a business project or a career assignment.
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.
This is a super lucky day for everyone, and for you dear Gemini it is the perfect day to look for an alternative/holistic doctor to find a solution for your case.
You are connected with the most spiritual energies on the planet. Schedule a healing appointment and you could heal yourself in a miraculous way.
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 the perfect days for a real estate negotiation. Financial aid is on the way if you need it. Your family could be a good help.
As I said at the top of the page, Venus starts to retrograde on the 15th.
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.
Happy birthday dear Gemini, now it’s your time to shine and be pampered.
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.
This is the best news for you in May! It is a remarkable eclipse in your sign dear Gemini. You may hear great news and a slew of surprises and opportunities made just for you will be presented.
It’s the new moon, so it’s a great day to plant a seed that will grow and flourish in the right direction.
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.
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.
If you are working toward your life goals and having a spiritual evolution, there’s nothing to worry about with this aspect, dear Gemini. Of course if you are stagnated in old patterns, Mars’ energy might bring up an event that reminds you that we have to move forward and evolve all the time. That’s why we are here dear Gemini.
The 22nd is another super lucky day! Your planet now receives the best vibration from the universe; Jupiter is blending in his fortunate energy, adding more surprises and opportunities.
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 to not make any mistakes about your career.
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, it’s your moment to show how witty, smart, creative and intelligent you are dear Gemini. Take this time to learn, to write and to voice your creativity in any area in which you are an expert in. If your career is related to speaking or writing, you’ll be ahead of everyone; you may win a prize in communication during this time.
Hey! One more lucky and special day for you: The 27th!
This is the best day to present a project or to give a speech; you will shine and impress everyone with your eloquence and brightness.
If you are taking a test today for instance, or participating in a competition, you will WIN!
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.
However dear Gemini, don’t let success inflate your ego; be humble and don’t think you know it all. You tend to be very talkative today and stubborn with your ideas and you may say something that is too harsh that could hurt someone’s feelings.
You have an amazing month ahead! Enjoy it dear Gemini!
“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.
