LIBRA MONTHLY Horoscope

LIBRA MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - GENERAL
May 2024

While it is business as usual as you move into the new month and with a lot of focus still on your financial situation and money matters, there is change in the air and whether you sense it from the start or not, this will strengthen as the month progresses. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of May in your financial sector, the solar spotlight is always on your financial situation and money matters at this time each year. Venus’ return at the end of last month means that the planet of money is also here and with Jupiter in the final weeks of his 12 month quest for financial growth and expansion in over a decade, that couldn’t be more important. It has been 12 years since the planets of money and luck were last in your financial sector at the same time and it will be another 12 years before it happens again. With the Sun here until 21st May, Venus until 24th May and Jupiter not leaving until 26th May, you have plenty of time to work with them. It is Mercury’s return on 16th May that will not only give you the smart head for money needed to get your head in the game and to think on your feet, but he will stay on until Mars returns next month to fully exploit all the potential this is creating. Until then, having just returned to your relationship sector as you move into the new month, Mars is more focused on fighting for what you want from your relationships. It is towards the latter part of the month that the year itself takes an exciting turn, with the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence about to power up. The seeds for this are being sown at the start of the month, when on 3rd May Pluto, the planet of change and transformation turns retrograde in a playful and creative part of your chart. In the early months of a 20 year visit, this will see Pluto stop and spend the rest of the month barely moving, as if he is waiting for something. That something is the Sun’s return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on 21st May, followed by Venus on 24th May. While they are only passing through, when Jupiter returns on 26th May it will be to spend the next 13 months here. As each return they will move into a friendly aspect to Pluto, bringing him in from the start.

LIBRA MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - LOVE
May 2024

While there has been continual planetary activity on the relationship front all year and on the romantic front since January, in both cases there are big changes ahead and this will be felt within the early days of the month. It begins just as you are moving into the month, when less than 48 hours after Venus, the planet of love left your relationship sector, Mars returns for his first visit in two years. With the Sun and Venus having moved through by the time Mars returned, a combination of the Sun’s reality checks and Venus’ focus on fuelling sense of what’s possible has left you with a chance to move into the new month with a good sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. This will give Mars something to fight for and here for the next six weeks, he will spend the whole of May and the first two weeks of June in your relationship sector. Mars won’t be on his own with Mercury, the planet of communication still here but back in direct motion after three months in retrograde motion. Mercury will keep working to keep the communication lines open until leaving on 16th May. But even then, Mars will still have support with Chiron, the planet of healing and the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior planet of the cosmos here all year. This means that for the whole month, you will have the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos helping you fight for what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Meanwhile, it is during Mars’ early days in your relationship sector that Pluto will turn retrograde in your romantic sector on 3rd May, something that will have significant implications later in the month. With the Moon in your romantic sector from 1st May to 3rd May, these romantically charged lunar vibes will bring you right into the loop. This is going to slow the planet of change and transformation down and keep him in position, meaning that when Venus, the planet of love returns to an adventurous part of your chart on 24th May, a friendly aspect will get her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure off to a good start.

LIBRA MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - MONEY
May 2024

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of May in your financial sector, the solar spotlight is always on your financial situation and money matters at this time of the year. However, this is an overlapping of the ordinary and the extraordinary, for as you move into the new month Jupiter is in the final weeks of a 12 month visit and of his 12 month quest for financial growth and expansion. With the Sun here until 21st May and Venus, who returned in the closing days of April here until 24th May but Jupiter not leaving until 26th May, the last thing that they will do before leaving is align. It has been over a decade since the planets of money and luck have been in your financial sector in 12 years and while the most auspicious days of any year will be when these two benefics align, this year it will be happening in your financial sector and just as they are both about to leave. With the Sun also aligning with Jupiter before leaving on 21st May, this will already have put the solar spotlight on all the possibilities and potential that Jupiter is creating. However, Jupiter’s departure on 26th May will be far from the end of the story, both in terms of how things will continue to play out financially or the growth and potential yet to be exploited. Mercury, who will return on 16th May with the smart head for money needed to get your head in the game and to think on your feet will not only stay on, but with Mars returning next month the best is still to come. However, this puts a lot more importance on the Moon’s monthly visit to your financial sector and the last before the Sun, Venus and Jupiter leave. The Moon will move through from 7th May to 9th May, but as well as a chance to ensure your financial instincts are sharp and you are emotionally and intuitively engaged, a New Moon on 8th May will create the potential for new beginnings and opportunities. Meanwhile, while there is no planetary activity on the income side of the financial fence when the Moon comes full circle from last month’s Full Moon in your income sector from 21st May to 23rd May, there could be some surprise developments.
