Cancer
With the Sun always spending the first three weeks of May in your friendship sector and with the solar spotlight on your social life, friendships, teamwork and networking before returning to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year on 21st May, this is always going to be a month of contradictory forces. At some point in May, it is almost guaranteed that either Venus or Mercury will take the step either before or after the Sun, making this more an overlap than a point where the focus shifts from one side of life’s fence to the other.
Even more so this month, with both not only active from the start, but with Jupiter leaving Cancer at the end of June, with major doors already opening. It was in the last week of April that within the space of 48 hours, Venus and Uranus returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart. Venus to spend until 19th May taking your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane and Uranus, to spend the next seven years focused less on closing old doors and more on guiding you through your intuition, sixth sense and inner voice. With the Sun in your friendship sector until 21st May, Mercury moving through from 3rd May to 17th May and Mars returning to spend the next six weeks here on 19th May, an overlap will continue all month.
Meanwhile, 19th May is also significant for another reason. This is the day Mars not only leaves your career sector and ends the most active months of this professional year and returns to your friendship sector, but this will see Venus return to Cancer, just as Jupiter moves into his final six weeks. This is the point when the two benefics of the solar system will join forces to bring the foundation year of a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion home. Meanwhile, we have a Blue Moon this month or two Full Moons. The first on 2nd May is in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart, while keeping things balanced, the Full Moon on 31st March will be in your busy work sector.
