Planet Mars rules over your sign. This month there will be a great emphasis on money matters. Aries, there may be a strong desire to increase your income and savings. If, you want to get your finances in order, planets will support you and may even signal a new opportunity too. You may hold on to money, that is you will make sure it is on things that are truly necessary, of course this does not include money spend on everyday items. This is also an excellent time to build your net assets. From 2^nd through 14^th, I foresee, stars line up to bring money to you, this will not be the money you earn but could be in form of a gift, a bonus, commission, royalty, rental, insurance, or it could be that you want to invest money in business or real estate and for this you will finally get a loan. Your ruling planet, Mars, will help you sign some important papers too. This month, Aries, you will remain especially busy, running errands, sending emails, communicating with others and also traveling. Travel will remain strong all through this month.  You will be articulate most times but there will be times, at home or at work, even normal discussion may turn into heated arguments, so stay away from discussions over sensitive issues. By month’s end, after 20^th of June, you may feel even more restless and look for a change, maybe plan a quick trip. You may feel surprise to read this, if you travel, you may prefer a place with full of adventure and close to nature, may be in a beautiful setting on a mountaintop with a beautiful sweeping view!!

Taurus, what’s happening in your life, is much, much larger than what is evident, something is going on, not just in the foreground, but deep inside you, a kind of internal overhaul. It is important to understand that even if there are challenging circumstances but eventually planets will bring positive changes and developments in your life. Looking your best will help you feel your best and may be boost your self-confidence, and hence overall approach to life. If you are not happy with any situation and feel like something has to change for things to get better, there is good news, Taurus, planets will support you, You can direct your energy in that direction. What matters is that you will have to do something in that direction. From 4^th through 15^th, if you are single or in a love relation, and looking for a life partner, it is a favorable time.

May 2017 Monthly Forecast: AQUARIUS, PISCES

AQUARIUS:

As per Vedic astrology, planet Saturn rules over your sign. You have a very busy period coming up, so much so that it may leave you exhausted, on positive note, you may travel and meet new interesting people. If, you travel for leisure there is a possibility that you may choose hills or a grassy land and may even enjoy mountain climbing, hiking and other such interesting activities. For travel, 5^th through 16^th of May, looks promising. On home front, I foresee, many people coming and going in your house, could be you are having some renovation work done, buying new house or simple you have house guests. I also foresee you signing some papers. If, you sign any contract, agreement paper or appear for interview, avoid rushing into the situations without consulting an expert. Please encircle 12^th, 18^th and 29^th on your calendar for sudden developments. A word of caution to all Aquarius, it is good to be straightforward but not all times, sometimes it can lead to misunderstandings during communication. Words can hurt, so chose them wisely!!

PISCES:

As per Vedic astrology, planet Jupiter rules over your sign. Pisces, some very deep and important changes are initiated in your life as planets are touching your life in surprising ways. It is kind of awakening, as your value system, your attitude and self-confidence will shift and change. Pisces are basically not too focused on money but this month you will be thinking of ‘money’. You need to make personal financial assessment, as I foresee, sudden increase/decrease (let’s keep ourselves positive in our thoughts!) in your personal net-worth, bank balance, financial assets, inheritance, loans, debts, taxes and bills. Financially, coming 6 months starting from 6^th of May, will be important in some ways but watch what happens from 4^th through 18^th. You may also be thinking of new ways to increase your income or make more savings. Although, I always write here in my forecast post that the benefit of astrology is to plan ahead but, Pisces, starting from May 2017, no matter how you plan coming 6 months will be financially erratic. Planets can bring sudden gains or losses, so being extra cautious will help. Venus, the planet of love, money, beauty and enjoyment, is presently traveling through your sign and presence of Saturn, the planet of stability, in your career sector, is positive indication. Saturn, may ask you to work hard but it will bring its own financial returns too so weighing risk and working hard can bring great returns in future. Saturn will stay in your career sector for almost 2 ½ years so you need to be patient. Saturn will teach you the secret of managing life change and will give you an idea of your 'life road map'. Saturn is a hard task master and will ensure you do what it takes to make you achieve the goal. Please encircle 12^th, 18^th and 29^th on your calendar for surprising events and sudden developments.

May 2017 Monthly Forecast: SAGITTARIUS, CAPRICORN

SAGITTARIUS:

Planet Jupiter rules over your sign. As the month opens, from 1^st, planets will fill your days with love, romance and enjoyment. For those in love this period will be extra special, if you are single, it is time for socializing. You may attract unusual romances or romantic partners into your life. If, you are planning a baby, six months starting from 6^th are most fertile. If, you already have children, these days you may feel inclined to spend more time with them, or they may require your attention more. The months of May, June and July will possibly bring financial gains or fulfillment of some desire. Watch what happens, from 5^th through 15^th, as I foresee your emotions will be too strong during this period for some reason. Sagittarius, 18^th of May (plus minus 2 days) is probably a day filled with pleasant surprises for you. You may actually be feeling more hopeful (which is a nice feeling!).

Please circle date 29^th on your calendar, on or near this date, Saturn and Mars, the two bitter celestial enemies, are in fight mode. So, avoid scheduling anything important on this date. If, you are in creative field, this month may bring unusual success or growth (of course, if only you create and work wholeheartedly!).

CAPRICORN:

Planet Saturn rules over your sign. This month, from 1^st through 27^th, planets exert greater than usual emphasis on home, family and your personal happiness. Sudden and surprising events may unfold in coming month that may prompt you to think of changing or buying a new house, alternatively look for a new job that may require you to relocate to some different city or town. There is also a possibility that something related with your parents, family or children that might come up suddenly for which you might have attend to and you may not have the option of putting off for later time. You may have to make some money transfer too. Professionally, watch and see what happens from 5^th through 16^th, something important may reach culmination phase. Hiring a consultant, manager, bringing in a new business partner, advertising or promoting your work may bring great returns. Please circle date 29^th (plus minus 1 day) on your calendar, Saturn, your ruler, will be in confrontational mood with Mars. This is not favorable date and may prove to be especially challenging for you and for no reason or fault of yours. Do not think of life events as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ but simply one step in the journey towards betterment!!

May 2017 Monthly Forecast: LIBRA, SCORPIO

LIBRA:

Planet Venus rules over your sign. This month, from 4^th through 17^th, something very important will reach its finalization phase, in between a very emotionally charged atmosphere. All through this month, relationships will be very important for you. If you are single, Sun will light the house of marriage, committed relationships and partnerships, you could meet someone with long-term potential. For those who are in committed relationship, either ‘you’ or ‘your spouse’s’ life is about to change in a very positive way and may charge you with positivity. Planet Mars, from 12^th of April through 26^th of May, is probably increasing your expenditures or alternatively you are about to receive some money and need time for financial assessment. If, you are in partnership business you may seek independence or probably want to exert more power and control. Taking orders or authoritative behavior of someone close may not go easy with you. You should watch out for not becoming overly critical especially near 29^th. The best way to make this energy shift is by instead of being critical, be more appreciative of all the things that you have in your life. For those who are self-employed, I foresee, you would be doing something new and may be pioneer into a totally new territory.

SCORPIOS:

As per Vedic astrology, planet Mars rules over your sign. The month of May will be the month of surprises and sudden happenings. Your day-to-day work life will keep you very busy, if you try, you can get new clients, work assignments, projects and even new job. There seems to be something unusual or unpredictable about the work you get. Maybe, it is contract based work, there is some timeline to finish the work or the client seems to be rich but slightly eccentric or hyper making and at times tension giving, yet the work maybe lucrative that you do not want to let it slip through your fingers. As I have already written above, there is a unpredictable factor involved in stars, so it is a possibility that a needed co-worker may suddenly announce a departure, or the client may make unusual demands or problems with labor or machinery, something that you won’t see coming. Please, do not feel dismayed reading this because probability of anything adverse happening is low.

 Presence of Mercury in enterprising sign indicates either it is work, client, signing of new contracts, negotiations, travel, shipments, buying of new office equipments or some news you may receive in first 20 days of this month. Alternatively, if you are not too focused on work but inspired to get into healthy fit shape the timing couldn't be better for you. Hit the gym or join a yoga class and you will be pleased by the results but and don't overdo it.

May 2017 Monthly Forecast: LEO, VIRGO

LEO:

Sun rules over your sign. This is a month to expand your horizons and explore life. From 1^st through 26^th, planet Mars of energy and action, is traveling through professional sector of your solar chart. You will be full of energy this month and may take firm decisions this month for work. Leo’s, of course nothing will be easy, on the contrary, some events, news or meeting, may totally push you out of your comfort zone. Initially, you may feel tension and uncertain but have faith, Leo’s, life is bringing changes for betterment in your life, you have been dreaming about changes for years, so grab the opportunities, even though they seem difficult initially. In 2 months from now, you may have to relocate, move to different environment. If, you are a student and want to study in a foreign university, you may apply or if you are preparing for some competitive exams, bar exams or some high degree Mercury placement this month will be helpful. However, Mars, the planet of energy and confidence, may make this phase very competitive. For those who are self-employed, you may explore new ideas and horizons, surprisingly stars will inspire you to take risk. You can plan a vacation or a business trip too. Six months from 26^th of May, the most crucial career phase of your life will begin. You will be ambitious. Yes, there will be stress, tension, compromises, adjustments and deadlines to meet but such is life. One date I would like you to circle—29^th May (Plus minus one day), this will be a difficult date for most Sun signs, so play cool and safe on this date.

VIRGO:

Planet mercury rules over your sign. Virgo’s coming 6 months from 1^st of May are very important. How you earn money or how you save money will be strong, you might think about various ways and additional sources to increase your income. In addition to this finances especially related with following matters will become very important--- joint or inherited property, tax or a legal settlement, an insurance or retirement payout, health insurance, joint business money resources, money for children or anything related with loans. Alternatively, it is not ‘You’ but it could be unexpected things involving your partner's/spouse money. Whatever happens will have an element of surprise and it is something else that you had not considered or thought of. Watch and see what happens from 4^th through 15^th of May. Jupiter placed in your sign will support you on 12^th of May (plus minus 1 day). Saturn will be in tough angle with Mars on or near 29^th of May, so avoid disagreements at home or at work. Life may seem unfair or challenging when it throws surprises at us when we are least expecting them but it is during these times we can rise above the situation by taking proactive actions!!
