To Your Health

This month begins on a practical note when lovely Venus creates a harmonious Grand Earth Trine with stabilizing Saturn and transformative Pluto on May 1. The Sun's joyful trine to Jupiter on May 12 can bring acknowledgment and even money for the hard work you've been doing. The passionate Scorpio Full Moon on May 19 falls in your 12th House of Endings, and although the Full Moon is often a time of culmination, you might find it tough to let go of a project so you can move forward. An exciting Jupiter-Uranus sextile on May 21 is the second of three this year -- the first on January 21 and the last on November 21 -- that can suddenly open doors to prosperity or at least improve your life. Meanwhile, expressive Mercury slows down to turn retrograde on May 26, signaling snafus and setbacks if you're moving ahead too fast.

Key Dates in May for Sagittarius:

May 12: Success in Action
The Sun in easygoing Taurus forms a fantastic trine with your key planet, Jupiter, blessing you with one of astrology's most positive aspects. There is no holding you back now, as long as you are already heading in the right direction. Unfortunately, it's all too easy to waste this beneficial day by being lazy. You have the power to act with confidence, but may feel so comfortable that you procrastinate. Don’t wait for a better time to start on a project -- this alignment denotes professional success.

SUPER NOVA DAYS
May 18-22: Sweet Indulgences
Lovely Venus perfectly harmonizes with Jupiter on May 18, casting a sweet glow onto your life. You feel luckier than usual and can see opportunities for wealth and happiness everywhere you turn. Surprising Uranus is between these two beneficent planets, sextiling Venus on May 18 and Jupiter on May 21, adding excitement and uncertainty to any situation. Romance is in the air as spontaneity fuels your feelings. But an intense Scorpio Full Moon on May 19 can overwhelm you with concern about a potential loss. Expressing your desires will likely bring satisfaction as long as you don't overstep any boundaries. Give yourself permission to dream, even if you must wake up to reality when the Sun squares Saturn on May 22, requiring you to leave any unrealistic fantasies behind.
