May starts with the Sun in solid Taurus and your 7th House of Partnerships. This shows how important it is for you to strengthen your working relationships. Whether it's with current colleagues or customers or in search for a new job or business, keep you ears and eyes open for advantageous alliances.

Alluring Venus makes a tense 90-degree square to your potent planet Pluto on May 2 that can stir up feelings of mistrust or resentment. Be careful about what you say and who you say it to within a couple of days of this provocative event. On May 9 the emotionally charged Full Moon falls in your sign, which could correspond with a crisis. It may be as simple as a showdown with someone, perhaps about salary. But it can be more complicated if you're concerned about losing your position or facing a financial loss. The good news, and there is good news here, is that you can find passion and resources to take yourself even higher in your current line of work or finally see the light and realize that you have gifts that can be better used elsewhere.

Mars, your traditional ruling planet, spends all of May in your 6th House of Work. The upside is an increase in dynamism and energy, along with the possibility of exciting new tasks to do. The challenges, though, can include overwork and conflict on the job. Be sure to use your passion prudently in order to advance your interests rather than expressing it rashly and complicating career matters.
