Sunday May 7th brings Venus entering Cancer in your ninth house of higher learning, publishing, legal issues, and spiritualism. Are you considering traveling or vacationing with a partner this self-care Sunday? Maybe you’re just spending the day planning a dream romantic vacation. Just watch how much money you’re willing to part with. Maybe just keep it to dreaming of vacations and saving for it unless you’ve got that kind of disposable income. Also make sure you’re double checking any reservations. It could be that this topic comes back around once Mercury stations direct.

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 and this is happening in your ninth house of higher education and long distance travel and your fifth house of creativity, fun, and sex. It’s entirely possible that that dream vacation to a new destination with your partner is happening this weekend. This is that slow emotional lovemaking energy. The kind where the next day you’re sore in places you didn’t remember you had. Should you not have a romantic partner that is just fine. This might be a conference where you get to learn about your favorite topics or maybe a trip to a university that you’ve always wanted to attend.

The next day, Sunday May 14th (Mother’s Day in the USA), Mercury stations direct in your seventh house of relationships and partnerships. Keep in mind that while Mercury is stationing they’re moving slow as hell. There could absolutely be miscommunication with your loved one about travel plans or activities that you or they had planned for the day. Remember to exercise patience as things probably won’t be cleared up for a couple days.

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 transit happens in your seventh house of relationships. Have you been putting in the effort to bring more joy to your relationship? To have more fun or do enjoyable things together as a couple? Maybe you’ve been working on your relationship with a team member so you can work better together on projects? Whatever it is it is working for you. Keep it up. 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 since this transit is taking place in your tenth house of career or public image. So this transit can feel like having even more energy for working towards your work goals. However, you might have to watch out for getting burned in this area of life. And when I say burned I mean burned out. The joy might be taken away and it’s just not giving what it used to. So maybe consider what you can let go and maybe start looking to find something else that can bring you more happiness or more time with your partner.

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 seventh house of relationships and your tenth house of career or public image. Is your partner now putting more pressure on you to find a new career or add a new title to your name? I would check in with your morals and spiritual feelings to help guide you in this case. Your partner might have some valid points here even if they’re saying in a way that isn’t sugar coated and can hurt your feelings.
