May 2011 horoscopes for Aquarius
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 Aquarius.
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.
The goddess of love is traveling and going retrograde in your area of love, dear Aquarius… I know what you are thinking!
Yes… your love life may suffer a setback, and you may change your mind about a relationship or you might slow it down or even leave someone who is not for you anyway.
Don’t worry, after June 27, and until August 7th, Venus will bless your love life in a way you won’t believe! You’re going to have a parade of admirers at your door; even attached Aquarius… your lover will adore you and cover you with hugs and kisses.
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 your last chance to have a conversation with someone you love and straighten out the issue you are holding grudges about.
You are very creative today. You may receive an invitation for a romantic weekend trip.
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 an exceptional and exciting full moon for you dear Aquarius, you may hear great professional news, like landing a better position in your company, a raise in salary, or maybe a work project will suddenly prosper.
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.
Mercury will travel your area of family. If you have to purchase a property do it before the 15th.
It’s a good time to work on a project with family, or to start a home project. Communication with your parents will be very intense at this time.
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 amazing meeting is happening in your area of family, housing matters and your deep emotions.
You are going to feel enthusiastic, happy and amazingly optimist today dear Aquarius. We attract what is in sync with our inner self, so expect for something really spectacular today.
If you are trying to sell a property, today you may find the right buyer who will pay the price you want. You may win an expensive gift from your parents.
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.
Money, money, money! This is all I can see under this transit during these days dear Aquarius. Don’t worry if the cash doesn’t flow right away, it will come after June 27th. The source could be earned or come from somewhere else.
As I said at the top of the page, Venus starts to retrograde on the 15th. Sniff, sniff…
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 Sun is shining not only in your area of love and creativity but also in the area of fame. Are you involved on a project that has the potential to catapult you into a new path? If so, it’s your moment of fame.
But the Sun will also help you to see with clarity your real feelings for someone.
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.
Even with Venus retrograde in this area dear Aquarius, you can meet new people during this Eclipse with the potential of someone new in your life become a lover, but the relationship may not begin right away…
You can also bump into an old lover and feel the spark again. Reconciliation with an ex is so likely when Venus retrogrades...
Anyhow, this Eclipse is amazing for you in matters of money, love and personal evolution so long as you don’t act with too much enthusiasm and ambition. Let things unfold by themselves; do what you have to do and respect the universal laws.
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 careful dear Aquarius; this aspect can hurt your finances and you may spend more money than you planned to.
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.
Mercury can add more communication in relation to the people you love dear Aquarius. Parents can become very concerned with their kids’ education. And writers and composers become more creative.
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.
May 27th and 28th are 5 star days for you this month, dear Aquarius. You could come up with an idea, or hear some amazing news that will brighten your day! You are just so lucky during these two days and everything in the universe will work in your favor. Schedule something important, like a meeting, a project presentation or a talk with your lover; perhaps if you just sit at your desk you may get ‘the Einstein’ inside you to come out!
“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.
