Horoscope:
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
MAY 2008
Calling all decorators! Paging U-Haul! May begins with all kinds of action in your fourth house of home and family. On May 5, a New Moon falls here, signifying that it’s time for a fresh chapter in your domestic life. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, will join forces with this New Moon. Could it be time to move in with your true love? If you’re thinking about it, the planets support you fully. Venus also urges you to beautify your home, Aquarius. A Spring cleaning, a fresh coat of paint, even some new artwork could go far.
Saturn, the planet of maturity, is in your eighth house until October 2009—the part of the zodiac that rules sex and intimacy, as well as any kind of property (real estate, inheritances, assets, loans). On May 3, Saturn shifts into full-power mod, giving you an even bigger push to take your living situation seriously. Like the Jeffersons, you could be “movin’ on up.”
With Saturn here, there could also be unfinished business around money—like a faulty credit score or a shortage of available cash. Don’t let that stop you from creating a workable living space. Instead, use the momentum to get your whole financial act together. If you’ve got debts, it’s time to develop a real plan for paying them off. Make sure you’re charging clients or employers what you’re worth.
The Full Moon on May 19 is an important time to assess your market value and go for the gold. This Moon lights up your tenth house of career and achievement; you could have an amazing coup at work. The wild card? Your own commitment-shy Aquarian nature. Like a willful child, you refuse to follow anyone else’s rules, and you prefer to stick by a self-designed schedule. That’s fine and dandy, but don’t be your own worst enemy. It’s been a bit of a challenging year in terms of your self-image. Part of you might want to unconsciously sabotage a great opportunity for fear of being “found out.” Aquarius, know that your own imagination is at play, and your worries are irrational. Come out of hiding and step into the leadership role.
If you’re moving in with a partner, you might find yourself having an attack of fears surge up. Aquarius, you’re such a delightful free spirit, which makes you everyone’s best friend. But deep down, you’re gun-shy about anyone getting too close. You might get a little creeped out at the idea of waking up to find a hairy, snoring beast drooling on the adjacent pillow—that is, in human form, rather than your beloved dog or cat. It’s time to make a choice, Aquarius. You could be alone and “safe,” or grapple with those demons in exchange for the reward of deep intimacy.
Although it may be uncomfortable at first, guess what? You’re way more ready for the real thing than you think. If you don’t believe it, wait until May 10. That day, energizer Mars will enter your seventh house of committed relationships, staying until July 12. A marriage proposal or real-deal relationship is highly possible during this time. If you’re in a relationship that’s floundering, Mar will help you deal with the issues head-on. Mars is the warrior planet, so there could be a fight or two in the name of clearing the air. Better that than suppressing your true feelings, Aquarius.
If you haven’t found love, check your Inbox at the end of the month. Mercury will be retrograde in your fifth house of romance. Retrogrades bring back people from our past, so an old crush or love interest could re-enter the picture. It might be worth a second chance!
