Network, Network, Network

Co-workers and friends can point the way to professional opportunities this month as the New Moon on May 5 falls in your 11th House of Groups. Solidifying relationships with colleagues by supporting them can bring you an equal amount of assistance in return. If you need help, don’t be shy about asking for it, whether it’s tackling a task in your current place of employment or in the search for a new job. If you’re self-employed or in sales, the first half of May can be excellent for networking. Dig into your memory bank or contact list and you’re likely to find someone who can be beneficial to you now. Besides, it’s good to keep in touch, rather than closing yourself in a small circle of individuals. Since Mercury, the communication planet, ducks into reverse gear for three weeks on May 26, it’s especially important to make connections before then.

The Sun enters Gemini and your privacy-seeking 12th house on May 20, which could have you hiding out even more than usual. This might be a period when you want to get away from it all, so keep your workload light, if you can, allowing you some breathing room and a chance to rest and relax. Of course, if you have a big plan or major project that can’t wait, putting it out during the month that the Sun is in your 12th house is unavoidable. But if you have a chance to manage your schedule, you’ll make a stronger impression in late June when the Sun enters your sign.
