Your horoscope for May 2 to 8, 2013

Stuck no longer, these next few weeks will put life on a freight-train pace. An annular solar eclipse occurs on May 9 in Taurus. This is a new moon, and it is especially lucrative for financial fresh starts, major investments, and new relationship commitments. This eclipse is also about breaking contracts and forging new ones. It dishes up enough energy to break the stalemate of circumstances and entanglements that are well past their expiry date.

Taurus correlates to all matters pertaining to money, resources, ownership, mortality, and survival. If it no longer serves you, it isn’t likely to survive. Resistance to evolution is futile. What is meant to be will be. Plant a new tree. It’s where the abundance will grow.

Similar to last month’s lunar eclipse, the May 9 solar eclipse is sure to produce eventfulness in the preceding days. Early Sunday morning, Mercury opposes Saturn, the last in a string of planetary alignments over recent weeks to butt up against the reality-check planet, or the lord of karma as he’s often called. Mercury/Saturn is an ideal transit for getting down to business, serious talks, cementing plans or contracts, ultimatums, official declarations, or steps. By Sunday afternoon, Mars trines Pluto, an empowering and mobilizing influence.

The moon transits Aries from Sunday evening to Wednesday morning. The action, aggression, and volatility hits high heat Monday and Tuesday. Watch money markets and the world’s hot spots. Early voting begins on Wednesday.

Aries
March 19 - April 19

A time of fruition is at hand. As of Sunday, the stars hit full steam ahead, and you do too. The words, creative spark, passion, and will to action, Mercury, Mars, and Pluto keep you tapping rich fuel. Sunday through Tuesday, you are an unstoppable powerhouse. Take your best shot. Aim to hit it hard, sharp, and fast.

Taurus
April 19 - May 20

You are well-positioned to meet whatever life may throw at you. Including Mercury’s recent advance, the head count of Taurus planetary players now totals six. With such strong team support, you’ll play your end of the game very well. Even so, stay alert for the unexpected. You can be thrust into a whole new reality as early as Sunday/Monday.

Gemini
May 20 - June 20

Prior to Sunday, keep plugging away. Do what you can as you can. Don’t worry about what isn’t coming naturally or what’s still left to tackle. Come Sunday, you’ll start to see your way much clearer. Even if you run into a full stop, don’t expect to stand still for long. Past Sunday, life’s pace accelerates. Monday and Tuesday catapult you into full swing.

Cancer
June 20 - July 22

Ceres, the mythological sister of Pluto, tenants Cancer through June 22. Sunday through Tuesday, Ceres acts as a rebirth, resurrection, or revisitation influence. Challenge and opportunity are blended as one. You’ll now reclaim a part of yourself you’ve lost along the way. Whether you choose it or watch for it to come at you, the course of your life could be altered in a flash.

Leo
July 22 - August 22

Keep ultimate objectives in mind and don’t short change yourself, but also aim for the simplest, most expedient route to your goal. The uncertainty, wait, or heavy lifting could be surpassed by Sunday. Mercury/Saturn brings you to a finish line or contract completion. Also, watch for news, results, or an answer. Sunday afternoon through Tuesday, you can make swifter progress and better inroads.

Virgo
August 22 - September 22

Personally, healthwise, or workwise, the next couple of days prompt a major breakthrough or switch up. Watch for a sudden insight or revelation, or for circumstances to play themselves out. Saturday/Sunday, Mercury/Saturn cements it for you. Once it is signed, sealed, said, or done, there’s no turning back and no time to waste. Plan to hit the ground running as of Monday.

Libra
September 22 - October 22

It’s a matter of timing. Mercury’s opposition to Saturn—a clue-in, finish-off, or set-it-in-stone aspect—is the last in a string of checkpoints. By Sunday evening, the energy and speed will pick up. Through Tuesday, stay alert for a sudden flash or switch, a surprise hit, or an opportune “it” moment. Seize it when you see it.

Scorpio
October 22 - November 21

Friday/Saturday, the Pisces moon can diffuse tensions or ease things up on you somewhat. Still, to Sunday’s start, Mercury’s opposition to Saturn keeps the reality check up front where you can’t miss it. You can feel limited by circumstance, thwarted or delayed by another. Sunday afternoon through Wednesday offers better opportunity to hash it out or to tackle something new.

Sagittarius
November 21 - December 21

Perhaps it has been a slow development, but progressively you are gaining ground. The workings of next Thursday’s solar eclipse in Taurus can be evident or striking as of the coming weekend. Aim for what’s real, doable, and right in front of you. Sunday through Tuesday, the Aries moon fires you up. Take your best shot.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

Your perseverance nets a payoff. This is milestone time. Mercury/Saturn can signal that recognition, reward, an official step or announcement, or a lucrative contract are in the works. Next week’s solar eclipse creates a fertile time to launch a new personal, romantic, or professional chapter. Still, the unexpected can hit. Sunday through Tuesday, it’s one thing after the other.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

You can find added professional, financial, or family pressure through Saturday. Although there’s still plenty to cope with, as of early evening Sunday, you’ll pick up momentum. A fresh perspective, opportunity, or challenge can hit out of the blue. Monday and Tuesday thrust you onto a much faster track. Be a straight shooter.

Pisces
February 18 - March 19

Regardless of the waiting game or added pressure, Friday/Saturday can deliver a smooth sail. Use it to your advantage. Monday and Tuesday send you on a race ahead. Despite the unexpected, you should still reach your target. A major purchase or investment appears to be in the works. It’s a lucrative time to invest in yourself and your future.
