Taurus in May 2008

taurus in may


For the first half of May, Taurus is still sitting pretty. Many of you have birthdays yet to come, and Venus is still upping your attraction factor for much of the month.

Are you enjoying the attention? I hope so. If, despite all the brilliant planetary energy, things have still been slow in the fun and romance department, blame Saturn. He’s been retrograde in your fun zone for ages, and will finally turn direct early this month.

Saturn is the planet of restriction and limitation, and he’s one bitch of a wet blanket. You can look at him like a cosmic chaperone: it’s nearly impossible to enjoy yourself when he’s around.

He’ll still be there in your fifth house for several years, unfortunately, but at least he’ll move forward this month. That’s something.

When a planet is retrograde, its energies are still there, but we have little control over them. In this case, it’s felt like outside forces were interfering with your romantic and creative schemes, leaving you little room to maneuver. When Saturn goes direct, you’ll still have to deal with restrictions, but at least you have more control over how you navigate them.

The best strategy for dealing with Saturn is to set your own limits, and then follow them. If you set feasible rules for yourself, then Saturn won’t have to. “See, Mister Chaperone, I can be totally responsible and still have fun too! Now, quit hovering!”

On another note, how did the Scorpio full Moon of last month affect you? (It was exact on the 20th of April.) If you are a very early-born Taurus, you may have had some “interesting” experiences. This month, we get a repeat, except this time around it’ll be late-born Taureans that get the brunt.

It’s a powerful full Moon, falling in the area of your chart that rules partners, spouses, and deep relationships. Full Moon energy especially affects women, persons with strong Moon or Cancer influences in their charts, and those on any kind of hormone therapy. Usually, we only have to deal with one Scorpio full Moon, but this time we get two in a row.


That’s a lot of intensity, folks, so do what you need to do to stay balanced.


Good Things: It’s a great time to beautify your surroundings, especially your home. Your improvements will translate into added value. Be careful with any contract labor, though, after Mercury goes retro on the 27th.

Sex Life: Should begin to improve, slowly but surely.
