Your Ruling Planet Venus enters the zodiac sign of Cancer on May 18th. This brings a calming and restorative energy flow that allows you to reconnect with your family and close friends. For weeks you’ve been taken up with work… fretting about staying competitive and worrying that if you relax you would lose your edge. Nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, less is more when Venus is traveling through easygoing Cancer. Instead of racing after things, you should learn to let things come to you. You’ll find that getting what you want doesn’t have to be as hard as all that.

The First Quarter Moon in Virgo on May 23rd promises to introduce a surprise development that will change your life dramatically. Whether this means that you’re on the way up or down or in or out won’t be immediately clear, so you’ll have to play it by ear.

Follow those lightning-fast reflexes of yours and you will surely emerge from this in one piece. Moreover, you may even discover in the days ahead that you are now in an advantageous position.

You’re not as sure of yourself as you should be, which is why you want to be careful over the next six weeks. Mars, the planet of gumption and drive, will be pushing you to push the envelope in just about every area of your life. This could lead you to overplay your hand, overreach your grasp, or issue an ultimatum that you don’t really believe in. The end result could be you retreating to your lair to lick your wounds. However, if you channel this energy into making the most of what you have, then you will accomplish more than you ever dreamed possible.

Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters your zodiac sign on May 18th. This makes you everyone’s favorite object of desire for the next 3½ weeks. What this says about your love life is pretty obvious, but remember that there’s a business side to Venus as well. With the right packaging and an eye for presentation, you could land a high-paying job, a client with deep pockets, or a hot piece of property. You’ll want to circle the dates May 19th, May 29th, and June 9th on your calendar. These are the days to make your pitch or make your play.

On May 22nd the Sun conjoins Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, in Gemini for the first time. This is bound to be an electrifying moment for you. You may want to pull up stakes and leave behind what you’ve built, embrace everything you once rejected, or feel compelled to make up for past wrongs. A composite of St. Paul’s revelation on the road to Damascus and Scrooge’s morning-after conversion following his visit with the Christmas ghosts, Sun/Uranus conjunctions are Astrology’s “wake up and smell the coffee” realizations, and once awakened, it will be impossible to go back to who you were before.

People will go to great lengths in order to get ahead, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that what they do is right. This will be something to keep in mind on May 18th when Mars, the planet of gumption and drive, enters your zodiac sign. Mars will be in Taurus until June 28th, which means that you stand to make more headway in the next six weeks than you have in the past six months. But you have to be careful about the toes you step on. Just because opponents yield the field now doesn’t mean that they won’t return later wearing combat boots.

You’re not one to fight over material things. Your feeling is that if someone covets something you have that badly, then they might as well have it. You can always find more where that came from. Freedom is what matters most. Ruling Planet Mars in Taurus through June, however, brings out an unexpected side. Over the next six weeks, you’ll find yourself engaged in disputes you’d normally avoid. It’s not about the money and possessions – although many will say it is; it’s about feeling taken for granted. And if certain people won’t give you the recognition you deserve, then you’ll surely make them pay for it.

You make the switch from unstoppable force to immovable object when Mars enters Taurus on May 18th. This is good if you need to stand your ground, hunker down, or push through a rough passage. Mars, the planet of strength and fortitude, is all about preservation and perseverance when it’s traveling through the zodiac sign of the Bull. You can take a licking and keep on ticking. However, you can also get exceedingly territorial. People horning in on your turf might make you see red, and you could charge at them without justified cause. Moreover, you could become ham-handed when dealing with delicate matters, sensitive topics, and fragile negotiations. It’s important to know when enough is enough and to allow opponents to yield the field while saving face. This will help to keep the peace. Mars will be in Taurus from May 18th to June 28th.

Have you kept your end of the bargain? If yes, then you’ll experience a boost in fortune this week. Jupiter is the planet of pledges and its sextile to Mercury on May 13th will bring profit to endeavors based on mutual benefit. But what if you haven’t kept your word? Then you will fall short of your aims and perhaps incur some debt as well. Making good on your promises is a must-do as far as your Ruling Planet Jupiter is concerned. And even if you can’t deliver everything like you said, the fact that you deliver on something is all that Jupiter cares about.

Geminis famously rearrange their furniture every three months. Maybe they do it because they’re restless, bored, or simply want a new look. It’s unlikely you’d do anything so capricious (Aquarius is a fixed sign after all), but it might not be the worst idea when it comes to your daily agenda. Mercury and the Sun enter Gemini on May 17th and May 20th respectively, which makes this the perfect time to reprioritize, rework, and reconfigure. You may find it gives you a fresh outlook. And you might make more time for romance while you’re at it. That’s a corner of your life that’s been collecting dust.

You won’t believe your ears on May 16th. Either the news is too good or it’s too way out there. This is why you need to sit with it a while so you can absorb everything and carefully consider the pros and cons of what’s on offer. This could pertain to a major bump in pay, increase in responsibilities, or even a relocation. Whatever the boon, it will require an equally significant sacrifice on your part, so ask yourself if you’re really up to the task at hand before pursuing it further. Once you sign on, you will be held to everything you agree to.

A new wave of associations will soon enter your life and you could see your roster of who’s who change over the next few months. But are these people true blue or fair-weather friends? It’s a legitimate question to ask given the string of disappointments you’ve experienced lately. However, the real problem may be with the entourage you currently surround yourself with. To paraphrase an old Janet Jackson song from the 1980s… what have they done for you lately? These new involvements may be more than just fresh faces. They may be set to replace those ties that have proven too unreliable or one-sided.
