You were born under an earth sign which means that you need to see tangible results at the end of the workday. They don’t have to be substantial to be substantive. They just have to be clear for anyone to see. Your insistence on always having something to show for your efforts can strike people as driven and even hard-nosed, but there’s no denying that this bottom-line thinking is responsible for your material success. This is something that will be abundantly obvious on May 18th when you pull off yet another extraordinary coup, courtesy of the Sun and Jupiter conjunction in Taurus.

Changes in a partner’s life promise to have a dramatic impact on yours when the Sun conjoins Uranus on May 13th. The planet of revolution and change, Uranus likes to turn our world upside down, inside out, or round and round. You won’t relish feeling out of control any more than your partner will, but that’s the way that Uranus rolls. It can’t be helped. It picks you up and carries you away like Dorothy’s house caught up in a twister. Yet, what you may discover when things finally come in for a landing is a rich new landscape full of fresh opportunities and adventure.

An uncomfortable realization or hard-to-deny revelation comes flying out of left field when Venus conjoins Uranus on May 18th. It may feel like a rude awakening, but a review of recent events confirms there were signs all along. Don’t blame yourself for not having picked up on them. Our lives are dominated by so many competing interests that it’s hard to register anything outside our range of focus, but now that you know what’s what, you’ll want to act quickly. Just remember, you’re not alone with this. There are plenty of people to reach out to – including the person who brought this to your attention.

Say yes to any offer, bid, or settlement that you receive this week. It won’t be everything you hoped for, but then you don’t want to push your luck when Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, is involved. It would be like stopping a gift horse in its tracks so you can examine its dental work up close. Jupiter is the planet of faith and what it’s asking you to do is suspend your disbelief because chances are you don’t really appreciate the value of what you’re looking at. Wait until May 23rd, and you’ll see that you’ve been handed the deal of a lifetime.

The Sun conjunct Uranus on May 13th followed by a conjunction to Jupiter on May 18th says it’s time to take the next step forward. Admittedly there have been a lot of false starts and miscues recently, but your moment is definitely now. One has to wait a long time for certain planets to align – both Jupiter and Uranus have slow orbits – but when they do the wait is worth it. Indeed, your circumstances couldn’t be more fortuitous. You are as ready as you ever will be to claim your spot. No pushing. No shoving. Just stepping into the place where you know you belong.

Colleagues don’t seem to appreciate how critical things are getting to be at work. You’ve seen the signs for a while, which is why you did your level best to try to alert them to the changes they needed to make in both their attitude and their approach. It’s frustrating because they’d improve for a week or two and then revert to their somnambulist ways. In the end, you may have to accept that you did everything in your power to rouse them from their complacency. You can’t save people from themselves, and sometimes firsthand experience is the best way to drive the point home.

The Mercury/Pluto square on May 17th takes place at a sensitive angle of your solar horoscope. It may feel like everyone is against you, and you haven’t a friend in the world, but the real question you should be asking yourself is: Are people really out to get you, or are they trying to tell you something you don’t want to hear? There are times when we must be true to ourselves and persevere no matter what, and then there are times when others see the way ahead more clearly than we do. With Pluto at such an elevated position, this may be one of those times.

Compare where you are now to where you were a year ago when Jupiter entered your zodiac sign and you will see how much you have grown as a person. Not only are you more confident and expressive, but you’ve also been seasoned by your experiences. This gives you an authority and authenticity that you didn’t possess before. You will see it at work on Saturday when a thorny predicament raises its ugly head, and you are forced to make a judgment call on the spot. Do what you feel in your heart to be right, and you will see people step into line behind you.

It’s hard to wait – especially when the first quarter Moon in Leo on May 15th shows you champing at the bit. You’ve been on good behavior for longer than you care to admit; applauding the successes of those who don’t really deserve it and smiling graciously as people behind you in line moved to the front. Nevertheless, biding your time is well-advised. You’re playing the long game here and have strategically positioned yourself for the next step up. Let everyone else chase after their sensational breakthroughs and one-hit wonders. Your aim is to reach the top, and when you do – to stay there.
Read MoreA TECTONIC SHIFT | May 13 – May 19, 2024
There is nothing making you stay put if you don’t want to. We often feel hemmed in by circumstances, overburdened by obligations, and defined by our responsibilities, but the truth is these all take their marching orders from you and not the other way around.
Uranus is the planet of revolution and change. Its job is to throw over those structures in your life that have lost touch with you – especially when it conjoins the Sun in the zodiac sign of Taurus on May 13th. This may result in an unexpected firing or hiring, a tectonic shift in priorities, or an earthshaking revelation.
Whatever its manifestation, the point is to get you out of your rut. This may be a call to action, or it may feel like you’re being dragged kicking and screaming into the next stage of your personal evolution. In any case, it’s time to live a life that’s more in keeping with who you are.
