Planet Watch May 2012
Astrology with Pamela Cucinell
Stir the Pot May Day through May 2 are days best spent on details and completing tasks. Upsets occur on May 3, so smooth things over to gain objectivity. Compromise increases on May 4 with clear communication. Decide your priorities ahead of time and don’t second-guess your commitment on the May 5 Scorpio Full Moon. Expect intense relating on May 6.
Widen the Lens Expansive thoughts take you outside on May 7. Understand the stakes on May 8 to bring about agreement. On May 9, sudden reactions surprise or change the way a situation is seen. Deal directly with whatever relationship issues present themselves on May 10. On May 11 capture inspiration for tangible results. Solid decisions and handshakes strengthen your convictions on May 12.
Venus Retrograde Mother’s Day celebrations will benefit from contemplative moods that seek beauty and renewal. Conversations lead you to unexpected places on May 14. Someone from the past may resurface as Venus goes retrograde on May 15 (last- ing through June 27); avoid any makeovers of body, wardrobe or home. Hard decisions are made on May 16 and it’s good to evaluate finances or a relation- ship on May 17. On May 18, take a long lunch if you can and hold hands, smell the flowers and listen to the birds.
The Present is a Gift Spend time with positive people on May 19. When the New Moon in Gemini/ Solar Eclipse occurs on May 20, enjoying life’s pleasures actually helps you meet goals. Expect surprises or changes on May 21, especially when driving or in motion. Begin projects on May 22 but don’t incur financial risk. Ride the waves of your emotions on May 23 and 24 to surface with a pearl.
Memory is Emotional On May 25, push back important conversations until after the holiday weekend. Glamour and playfulness create happiness on May 26 and moderation helps on May 27. Even if Memorial Day is a holiday for you, do something useful, whether gardening, volunteering or honoring the dead. If you don’t, you may find yourself out of sorts by late afternoon. There’s more than one way to go on May 29. Do you hold your tongue to keep a relationship on May 30 or do you simply bow out with grace? Discussions go well on May 31, especially when they are straightforward and sincere.
