May 2011 horoscopes for Virgo
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 Virgo.
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.
Venus is retrograde in your career sector dear Virgo, so make sure you get all your projects and assignments done before the 15th. Schedule meetings, projects, presentations and launch a scheduled product in the first two weeks of May.
At this time you may need to show some appreciation for you boss, and if there is any issue to be resolved, talk to him or her on the 3rd, when Mercury sextile Venus. 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.
Mercury is your ruler planet as you know and in good aspect to Venus in your area of career, which can bring you great news relating to a job. If you have any professional assignments to be delivered, today the 3rd or the 4th could be the best days to do so.
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.
People at a distance can be very supportive during this full moon, either by entertaining you while you are on a fabulous trip or something relating to an international business deal.
This is a perfect time to travel; you can find a special travel deal and the trip could be delightful.
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 can expand your mind and curiosity. You may plan a trip to an exotic country where you can learn a lot and expand your mind. You can come to an agreement relating to an international deal during this time as well, dear Virgo.
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 is your luckiest day of the year dear Virgo; you will experience much progress in the field of your career. If you are living in a country other than the one you were born in, you can hear good news about your citizenship, or close a deal that will be profitable and great for your finances.
On the 15th, 16th and 17th, Mars and Pluto are in perfect aspect, a very powerful one.
Whatever you plan or start in these days, tends to progress and grow in a perfect direction.
You have energy and enthusiasm to have anything done during these days dear Virgo. Your seductive power is on high gear. You can find someone who will impact your life in an intense way. Nobody can beat you these days.
If you are single, you can feel a strong attraction for someone very special throughout these days. And guess what? He or she will find you super HOT!
As I said at the top of the page, Venus starts to retrograde on the 15th.
From now on and until June 27th, Venus retrograde can much up your finances and career goals, but don’t panic, just don’t rush now to complete a professional task or a project. Use this time to talk and to plan, and wait to launch the projects after June 27th.
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.
It’s a great time to shine and get the admiration of the world for your life and professional accomplishments. Your life will be in the spotlight for one month.
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 Eclipse will be absolutely fabulous for your career, despite Venus retrograde; this energy will be in development as of now and for the next year ahead. This Eclipse can change the course of your professional advancements. Expect for unexpected developments in your career.
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.
You have everything one needs to move a mountain in order to get what you need to advance your career.
On the 22nd, you will come into sync with someone who can provide you an amazing negotiation on a deal. This is another super lucky day for you dear Virgo. Set a meeting with people who can open new avenues for you.
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 not a good day to close a contract with a lawyer or a client. As I said before, keep the negotiations on hold for now and until June 27th. You will find out later you have a lot to talk about and the plan can change many times before you take a major step forward.
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.
Now Mercury can add more communication in your career plans and projects. When your ruler planet Mercury enters the area of career, which happens once a year, is when you have the busiest time with deals and negotiations. But Venus is also in the same area, and in retrograde, which can delay your projects. But don’t worry, wait until June 27th to finalize your deals and you will see significant progress.
The universe is clever dear Virgo, in the end you will rise above it all.
On May 27th you have another lucky day for communication and deals. Today you may meet up with a celebrity or an important person who can give you great ideas and opportunities.
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.
You may have a great idea for an investment.
“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.
