This will become a landmark month for you, but as you ease into May, you won’t see changes until you get close to the end of the month. It’s a good, solid month, and one that will benefit you, even during the quieter parts. Now let’s look to see what is going on in the heavens.
Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, is currently packing his bags and preparing to say goodbye to Taurus. A crowd of little planets is coming together to throw Jupiter a going-away party. All the festivities begin with the new moon in Taurus on May 7. In addition to the new moon and her partner the Sun, the giver of all life and strength, Venus, Uranus, and the star of the celebration, Jupiter, will be in attendance. All of these planets will be in a quiet place in your chart—Taurus, your twelfth house.
It appears that discussions will be held by others—people you know, and those you don’t—but whose decisions will eventually affect you very much. For now, you seem to be unaware of precisely what is going on, but you will know soon. When you look at this buildup of planets in such a private, behind-the-scenes part of your chart, you may wonder if this cluster of energy is a good or foreboding sign of what’s to come. I feel you have nothing to worry about because these planets are extraordinarily friendly.
As this month begins, Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, is still orbiting within 3 degrees of Uranus, the planet of surprise. This aspect denotes happiness, optimism, and joy. Every once in a while the universe sends us a bouquet to keep us motivated and excited about life. Jupiter rules your committed relationships (bound by contract) in marriage and business.
