By The dependable Taurus New Moon on May 5 in your 8th House of Deep Sharing puts you in a good bargaining position. If you have a clear plan, your ability to gain the material and emotional support you need from others should be enhanced now. Some romantic magic is possible, too, what with blissful Neptune's conjunction with the Moon's North Node in your 5th House of Love. Serious Saturn goes direct on May 2, but expansive Jupiter turns retrograde on May 9, a complex combination requiring you to assimilate any gains before cautiously pushing ahead. Mental Mercury's appetite for information grows upon entering its airy home sign, Gemini, on May 2. However, its hard aspects to restraining Saturn and Pluto on May 4 complicate data flow, a slowdown that will occur again when the Messenger turns retrograde on May 26. Keep in mind that you need to maneuver carefully.
Key Dates in May for Libra:
SUPER NOVA DAYS
May 18-20: Active Sixth Sense
Expect pleasant surprises on May 18 when attractive Venus aligns favorably with optimistic Jupiter and inventive Uranus. Your innate understanding of human nature helps you turn an uncomfortable situation into a surprisingly enjoyable one. Trust your instincts, even if they lead you in an unconventional direction -- you are blessed now with higher intelligence. A square between Venus and Neptune on May 20, though, is less reliable. Your logic might be blurred by misplaced faith or vulnerability. You may even be misled by someone who is strong on image but weak on substance. The Sun's entry into curious Gemini the same day tells you to ask questions and get the facts instead of making false assumptions.
May 24-26: Earning Respect
Sweet Venus's entry into fellow air sign Gemini on May 24 usually signals a friendly and playful social environment, yet a testy quincunx from manipulative Pluto on May 25 suggests that all is not as it seems. Confirmation comes on May 26 when Saturn's square to Venus defines relationship problems more clearly. If you're feeling underappreciated, its natural to be less confident and, perhaps, avoid confrontation. A simple, honest statement about your expectations, though painful, can be a powerful step toward regaining the respect you deserve.
