Overview
The main reading
Aries, welcome to the month of May. Can you feel the impact of spring? The season of spring brings a sense of freshness and opportunity producing a time of awakening and potential. Naturally, as the first sign of the zodiac, and a cardinal sign, you are willing to jump into this pool of opportunity with vim and vigour! The sun remains in your own sign until the 15th and the consequence of this is that you remain a tremendously positive influence and are brimming with confidence, zeal and passion.
You are at your peak. By the 15th, the sun moves into Taurus, whose practical, plodding nature enables you to make wise financial decisions. You also fare well in your social life, as Taurus is easy-going and affable. Mercury in Pisces can heighten your sensitivity, but moods will tend to fall by the wayside fairly easily.
On the 3rd, Mercury moves into Aries which can make you very quick to react and respond. You may lack patience especially in spiritual matters. As Venus moves from Pisces to Aries on the 10th, you will be able to go out into the world to fulfil your desires. Aries simply cannot sit still, and with this placement, love and ardour will be on the cards. In love you are almost childlike. With Mars in Gemini on the 7th you should spend more time communicating with those you love.
