May 2011 horoscopes for Taurus
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 Taurus.
Venus the goddess of beauty, love, luxury and women’s matters, is going to retrograde. As a sign ruled by Venus, dear Taurus, you will be one of the most impacted signs by this retrograde process. But don’t panic! I know you may think this is going to hurt your love life…. on the contrary, it’s a chance for you to reconnect with someone from the past, and if you are single this sounds great right? And if attached, you may renew your vows, or review your relationship with you significant other and this may bring it to a much better place.
If your relationship is going downhill at the moment, you may have great opportunities to spice it up, and change the scenario.
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.
You know dear Taurus, sometimes we think we still love someone but our “contract” with that person has expire and we can’t face the end of the relationship, and it’s natural because we human beings are not prepared for endings… and deaths. Both of you will have a chance to reassess your feelings and figure out if you still love each other, if it is worth trying again, or if you should accept that you don’t belong with each other anymore. Accepting and embracing a change is the best way to be open for new possibilities and new people.
Venus retrograde will tell….
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.
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.
You may hear very good news from your partner dear Taurus and if you want to talk about relationship issues with your significant one, this is the day! You have the precise and the sweetest words to say when they come from your heart, without hurting anyone.
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.
For you dear Taurus, this full moon in your opposite sign (meaning the Sun in Taurus and the moon in Scorpio) can be an unforgettable and romantic moment for you. Some of you may even make plans for an engagement or a wedding. If single, you have a great chance to find the love of your life.
It’s going to be an explosion of great events and opportunities for you. You can develop your clientele if you are self-employee; and you can get great help from your lawyer or your agent if you should need it. People will be willing to help you during this full beautiful moon.
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 another plus for Taurus’; you are smarter, wittier, more eloquent and more willing to learn and teach the subjects you master in.
It’s a very auspicious time to start to write a book, or to voice an idea or a project. You have Mercury the lord of communication on your side, so take advantage of it!
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.
Gosh! This is your best day of the year, actually, of the last 12 years dear Taurus! Jupiter is in Taurus and is at the same exact degree of the Sun in Taurus! You may hear OUTSTANDING news today concerning a fabulous amount of money relating to a deal, either involving you or your husband.
A raise, a change in status, an inheritance, family news, or a home or real estate opportunity could be anticipated for today. The universe is open for a momentous opportunity. Plant a seed today and you will be amazed at how steady and strong your project will successfully grow.
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 another 5 star days for you dear Taurus! (I’m so glad I’m a Taurus too. Yippee!) This aspect will influence your love life… If you are single, these days bring with them a tremendous potential to find a new love. If you are attached, you may plan a trip together that will be absolutely passionate and fun. A money deal can make you and your lover super exited today.
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.
You are now more likely to make money from channels of communication, or maybe a new job could be offered to you generating a second monthly income. It’s a good time to plan a new business project that could be implemented when Jupiter enters in your money sector next June.
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 New Moon can bring such a tremendous financial opportunity for you dear Taurus. If your ascending sign is in Taurus, you are definitely in the same range of opportunity, but please check with an astrologer to find out the exact placement of this beautiful Eclipse. If Gemini starts in your first house, the benefits will be more directed towards you, and a range of amazing opportunities will blossom this 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.
Bless whatever goes away from your life today, because something perfectly suitable to your present moment is about to occur.
The 22nd is an amazing day. Voice your ideas, dear Taurus and people will accept them with ease; not only that, embrace it and give yourself the opportunities to implement your project.
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.
This is absolutely NOT a good day to discuss a business plan with a group of people or with family; don’t even think about signing a real estate deal. Do it tomorrow.
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.
You have the communication planet in your finance sector now dear Taurus; it’s a perfect time to present an elaborate plan or find new avenues to expand your business. You can take care of two projects at the same time and do well on both of them.
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.
Today you may come up with an eccentric idea, dear Taurus, a little ahead of the times, but perfectly doable and people are open to listen to you. You have the reputation of being steady and grounded, so when new ideas come from you, you have tremendous credibility.
“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.” – Brian Tracy-
Enjoy this month dear Taurus; you are the chosen child of the universe!
Have a great month and find your path of transformation.
