May 2011 horoscopes for Scorpio
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 Scorpio.
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.
Besides beauty and love Venus rules finances, dear Scorpio, and she is retrograde in your area of finances, or better, other people’s money. But before she goes retrograde you will have lots of activities in the financial sector, so take action before the 15th and you’ll end the month with more money in your pocked than at any other time.
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 the first good news you may have regarding a business deal, a job assignment or a loan you have been waiting on for a long time. This financial aid can come from a partner or any other source.
This is a great day to discuss intimate relationship issues. If your sexual life is in an ‘inactive moment,’ don’t hesitate in discuss it with your partner. Or just plan a romantic night to spice up your sexual life dear Scorpio.
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.
This is a sensational Eclipse dear Scorpio; it’s in your sign! You either will ask or be asked to tie the knot. Whatever happens, your relationship will go to a more committed position. You either move in together or set the wedding date. If you’re single dear Scorpio you have a strong possibility of finding a perfectly matched mate for yourself.
If relationship is not the issue, you could close a fabulous $$$ deal with a client. You can also use this superb energy to create a fail proof partnership. This is a good day to acquire a manager, a lawyer or a special client.
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.
This is going to be perfect if you are thinking about getting married or forming a partnership; Mercury blesses contracts and commitments. This is a good time to discuss any relationship issues with your significant other.
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 blending of the lord of illumination and mighty Jupiter in your area of relationships dear Scorpio is all about luck in love, and in all kinds of partnerships.
You will attract the best species on the planet, the wealthy, the fabulous and the good souls.
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.
You couldn’t get more power and evolution than that dear Scorpio This aspect has the potential to help you win any competition, to stand at the top and reach great progress.
A business project you have been working on may blossom at this time.
As I said at the top of the page, Venus starts to retrograde on the 15th. From now on don’t expect for a thriving time in relation to your finances, but this is a good time to plan and organize.
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 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.
You still can obtain benefits from your finances during this Eclipse if the money doesn’t flow from your own business or income; it can come from somewhere else, from your partner, your spouse, an inheritance, the bank or a government tax return.
This is just the first Eclipse in your money sector dear Scorpio, you still have 3 more in the money axis to come until next year.
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.
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 very clear with your words; you can hurt someone’s feelings by saying everything except what he or she would like to hear from you.
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.
Here’s a good chance to work on organizing your finances. Mercury is in your area of communication and travel, so you can close a great deal with an international source.
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.
If you are undergoing any health problems dear Scorpio, you can find a doctor who may use an unorthodox approach to your problem and get it resolved. Have you thought about seeing a healer? You may be surprised with the results.
“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.
