Sagittarius in May 2008

sagittarius in may



Ah, the merry month of May, when birds sing, flowers bloom, and skirts rise...you are merry, aren’t you, Sagittarius? A tad jolly, maybe? Hanging in there, at least?

April was a good month for Sagittarius, all told, but some Centaurs have trouble with the month of May. Part of the discomfort you feel around this time of year is due to so many planets moving into your opposite sign of Gemini. You have some things in common with Gemini, but it is your opposing sign, after all—while everyone else is half-wild with spring fever, you tend to feel drained.

Gemini energy forces you to focus on a level of detail that you find irrelevant. Your broad, expansive outlook is cramped by Gemini’s Mercurial obsession with literal particulars and endless streams of data. By the end of May, you could find yourself highly annoyed on a fundamental level.

It’s normal for this time of year, if that helps at all. It’ll pass. You’ll be so busy that there won’t be time to worry about it anyway.

Saturn goes direct at the top of your chart early this month. I’ve seen this go one of two ways.

In the first scenario, all the obligations you’ve been putting off for months come crashing back, front and center. All those half-finished projects? All those promises of “Sure, I can do that, just give me call when you’re ready!”?

Guess what? They’re all ready, all at the same time.

In the second scenario, it’s the other way around. You’ve been trying for months to get ahead in some way, but nothing’s happened. All the doors have seemed reluctant to open, and while nobody’s actually slammed them in your face, they haven’t been in any hurry to usher you in.

Guess what? You’re ready, and will find yourself doing whatever it takes to squeeze on through.

Either way, it means career and public life energy is about to come unstuck. You’ve been working so hard, and now it’ll begin to show results.

The hard work isn’t over, though. Your ruler Jupiter turns retrograde (just like Saturn’s been) in the same public life zone. That means less great luck, more sweat equity. With Saturn backing you up and Mars becoming infinitely more friendly, you can pull it off.

There’s lots of activity in your close partnership house, too, but it’s likely to result in surface activity, rather than the long-term movement you have in your career house. Enjoy the extra romantic attention, deal with any misunderstandings that come up, but try to remain focused on the bigger issues of the moment.

By mid-June, you’ll feel much better about it all. By late fall, you’ll be well into your next era. Hang in there.



Good Things: The very beginning of the month could still hold some surprise windfalls at work—new assignments, unexpected accounts, unlooked-for kudos.

Sex Life: Prospects are good if you have a steady; otherwise, only so-so.
