May starts off intensely as loving Venus aligns in a stressful 90-degree square with your ruling planet Pluto. This could lead to a showdown in a relationship. You may not be ready to deal with your feelings, yet if you're dissatisfied where you are, it's wiser to face matters now than to let things linger. Perhaps your story won't be so dramatic, let's hope so. But you can still use this powerful transit to get rid of something that's getting in the way of your happiness.
The Full Moon in your sign on May 9 is another key event, a time when holding in your emotions is no longer an option. Yet instead of interpreting this as a problem, it's a major opportunity to alter the path of partnerships in your life. You could be dealing with a stubborn individual who is unwilling to do what it takes to really connect with you. Of course, if you're unwilling to speak up, don't expect this person to take the initiative.
If you're single, this Full Moon can be a major wakeup call, a time when you recognize what and how you have to change to get what you want in life. It can come in the form of positive passion, excitement about yourself and what you're doing that makes you a more compelling and interesting person. Yet this revelation can arise from pain or a sense of despair. The key is to use whatever you feel as a motivation to reinvest in yourself. This isn't about making anyone else happy but about recognizing what you want most for yourself.
