Leo Rising Astrology Forecast May 2023
Sunday May 7th brings Venus entering Cancer in your twelfth house of solitude and mental health as well as hidden enemies. The theme of self-care Sunday for you could present itself in the way that you don’t let others suck up your time and take from your well. If you’re a work Monday-Friday person and someone from work like a superior emails you on this day, no they didn’t. You didn’t see it. Better yet have an automatic response that pops up in your email that you are unavailable and will get back to them during working hours. Sunday is yours to get your head straight so you can do your job better on Monday.
On Saturday May 13th Venus in Cancer has a harmonious energy with Saturn in Pisces in the nature of playboy Jupiter. In the general May forecast I said this read as a long sexual encounter however this is happening in your twelfth house of solitude and mental health and your eighth house of your partner’s resources or other people’s money (like inheritances or taxes). You might be contemplating how to better use the resources of others to further your career or public image. It’s not in a manipulative way perhaps but maybe in a way that you are considering who is available for collaboration? Someone who you normally wouldn’t have thought of or maybe a ghost writer or someone behind the scenes who has skills you don’t have but need.
The next day, Sunday May 14th (Mother’s Day in the USA), Mercury stations direct in your tenth house of career and public image. Keep in mind that while Mercury is stationing they’re moving slow as hell. So while you might be waiting to hear back from that person who said they could work behind the scenes to help you out, you’re probably going to have to wait a few more days. It will be ok.
Tuesday May 16th has Jupiter entering Taurus where he’ll stay until 2024. In the general forecast I said that this is a feeling of happiness at having hard work pay off. This is happening in your tenth house of career and public image of how you are known to those who aren’t close to you. Maybe that ghost writer or new assistant you’ve got is helping to take things off your plate so you can concentrate more on your outward appearance. Putting a lot of effort into your public image could work toward your favor and boost your self-esteem. Jupiter spending a year in this house will be beneficial if you put in the effort for positive things in this area of life. If you don’t put in the effort or put the effort into the wrong things it won’t go how you think it will. Jupiter helps things grow. He’s going to grow whatever you put effort into. If you put no effort you get no rewards. Think back to what happened June 2011 to June 2012 for an idea of the themes that will play out for you this time around.
Mars leaves the Moon’s sign of Cancer and enters the Sun’s sign of Leo on Saturday May 20th at 11:32am EDT. In the general forecast I said that it’s time to bask in the praise from your coworkers or from your online followers who recognize all the effort you’ve been putting into your public image. You’re feeling yourself. Which is GREAT. Eat that shit up you earned it. I would be mindful of physical burns to the body. Careful cooking with fire y’all. Since this transit is taking place in your first house of self, that being mindful of burns to your body goes extra for you folks. Should you have a surge of energy to start working out again. Great! Just don’t rush into it. It’s totally ok to take baby steps toward your physical health. Maybe meet with your primary care physician to have your annual check up and get clearance before choosing to do something like join crossfit or start a new diet yeah?
The last big transit of the month that I think needs to be looked at is when Mars in Leo squares Jupiter in Taurus on May 23 causing a friction point between the two planets. In the general forecast I said the transit might mean having to smooth talk your partner into understanding why your time and assets are important to you or the relationship in general. For you this happens between your tenth house of career or public image and your first house of self. What is your career or public image telling you needs to be changed about your physical appearance. Do you hate wearing makeup or like having facial hair and the statistics on your content shows that people watch more when you change your appearance? It sucks but sometimes thems the breaks. Know that it has nothing to do with who you are as a person and mentally you’re in a place where you can make these changes and it won’t effect your mental state negatively.
