Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 May 2005 Monthly Vedic Horoscope General One especially interesting pattern in the sky this month is the Saturn square to the nodes. Using standard Vedic aspecting, Saturn squares Rahu. The combination of these two slow-moving malefics is unlikely to signal the dawn of world peace. Not to say that doom and gloom lies waiting, but these are difficult energies to incorporate into one's life. People will prominent Saturn or Rahu in their charts are more likely to be affected by this configuration. Neptune goes stationary retrograde on May 19th at 23 degrees of Capricorn. Image and illusion will be made real while intoxicants will no longer have the same potency, or at least, they will fail to satisfy our escapist urges. Jupiter has a declinational station at 02S14 on May 31. Individuals born near the equinoxes will likely experience some improvement in their luck. ARIES (Apr 13 - May 13) An auspicious beginning to the month as Venus and Sun transit your sign. You may find release in love and music. As Mars moves into Satabisha, your focus may shift to more pragmatic concerns like the pocketbook. Funds may come from unusual or foreign sources at this time, so be prepared to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. The middle of the month around the 15th may bring some sudden twists and turns that work out in your favour. Some romantic complications are likely after the 21st. The realm of beauty will be close at hand and yet beyond your reach. Mars' entry in Purvabhadra at this time brings easy, or least, non-confrontational victories over opponents. TAURUS (May 14 - Jun 14) As the old Charlie Parker tune reminds us, " now's the time " . Your ruling planet Venus is sitting pretty in Taurus to help you put your best foot forward into the world. Turn on the charm and wait for the applause. Your ability to communicate effectively will be greatest while Venus transits Rohini from the 13th to the 23rd. Some marital discord is possible on the 15th, as some secrets will be revealed. Look for sudden gains around the 17th. The world is a beautiful place on the 24th. With Mrigashira coming into play after the 24th, it's likely that your profile will be raised in some way, especially involving spiritual or charitable matters. GEMINI (Jun 15 - Jul 15) In the first week of May, you are on top of the world as Mercury enjoys its last days in Revati and Pisces in your 10th house. The time around the 6th and 7th looks especially promising. You may notice a change in energy after the 8th when Ashwini is activated. Helping or healing friends and siblings is an excellent redirection of this influence. Some gains from higher education or religious organizations are possible in the middle of the month. Mercury's entrance into Bharani on the 16th may bring an intensity and spontaneity to life. Watch that you don't try to do too much. CANCER (Jul 16 - Aug 15) Look for benefits and gains to accrue from a mother figure this month as Venus moves into Rohini on the 13th. Generally, this is a very favourable situation since both natural benefics Venus and Jupiter will be transiting Moon-ruled nakshatras. This is also a good time to initiate artistic or creative projects. Some irritation and conflict is possible near the 15th. Moon conjoins Jupiter in Hasta on the 19th so look for a pleasant or helpful communication at that time. Some more burdensome responsibilities may enter the picture after the 20th. LEO (Aug 16 - Sep 15) This month you may find yourself finally getting down to work on things you've put off for too long. Sun transiting Krittika from the 13th to the 26th is a good time to cut to the chase and exert energy into the world. The second half of this transit may yield more results for you and you may find yourself benefitting from being in the company of famous of achieving females in the workplace. The 23rd should be a great time to enjoy yourself. VIRGO (Sep 16 - Oct 16) Mercury concludes its extended sojourn in Pisces on the 8th. In the days before its Aries ingress, look for some unusual situations to confront you. Your thinking may be more intuitive these days but around the 6th the Rahuvian influence may really take over. You may wake one morning in a strange place and not know how you got there. As Mercury moves into Aries on the 8th, there will be a shift from the Other to the Hidden. It may be more difficult for you to get people's attention now and you may feel ignored. Best to make the most of these offstage moments and dig deeper into life's mysteries. LIBRA (Oct 17 - Nov 15) With Venus in Taurus for most of May, this is a time to enjoy the fruits of life. You may find yourself taking a greater interest in the aesthetic realm now, especially in romantic matters. This may be a good time to expand one's sexual repertoire perhaps. Gains may come through your spouse now with the middle of the month being the most likely time. As Venus transits Rohini after the 14th, look for career matters to play a more important role. Around the 23rd, a charismatic and charming person at work may get your attention. Watch out for painful power struggles around the 28th. SCORPIO (Nov 16 - Dec 14) Mars transiting Satabisha in the first part of May may force you to acknowledge your limits. Home may become a place of sanctuary as you take a break from the madding crowd. You may also have an encounter with the occult or unusual people that may be unsettling, especially around the 14th. After the 20th and Mars enters Purvabhadra, look for things to flow more smoothly. A training course may pay off richly. SAGITTARIUS (Dec 15 - Jan 13) Recreation and children may take more of your time this month, especially involving artistic pursuits. Once Venus enters Taurus on the 6th, your love life may feature a little more conflict than usual. Try to resist the urge to win every argument and this time will pass more smoothly. The middle of the month around the 18th will be a welcome change of pace as your wishes are fulfilled more readily. Your mind kicks into high gear in the second half of May and your interests may expand to include investing and legal issues. CAPRICORN (Jan 14 - Feb 12) The first half of May may bring higher status and an improved career profile, although this may be uncomfortable at times. No pain, no gain. With Venus in your 5th house this month, some romantic involvements are possible, especially around the 18th. As Saturn moves through Punarvasu, look for housing issues to come to the fore towards the end of the month. Saturn closely aspects Rahu this month as well, so there may be more foreigners or unusual people in your life as well. AQUARIUS (Feb 13 - March 13) With Mars and Uranus conjoining in your sign this month, you are likely to have a lot of energy. Hopefully, this can be channelled constructively without having anything get away from you. Take extra precaution with vehicles however since karaka Venus is aspected by Mars. Ruling planet Saturn in Punarvasu may take you on long journeys or at least you will be thinking about them. The second half of May will be a good time to learn new skills or take a course in some applied technology. PISCES (March 14 - Apr 12) Some tough sledding to begin the month as you may feel more like an shadow than a real person. This may be a time when you are rowing upstream against the current with no end in sight. Expect some hard work to be the only solution to your problems, although even then progress will be frustratingly slow. After the 15th or so, things will improve. Career and status matters should be the first to get the buoyancy treatment. One possible loose cannon is Mars entering Jupiter-ruled Purvabhadra on the 22nd. With Mars in your 12th house, look for income coming from foreign sources. Resist escapist tendencies. http://modernVedic Astrology.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
