Aries

There's a sense of abandon about you this month. Jupiter and Mars amplify prospects ay work, and you'll get first crack of the whip when it comes to a promotion or uplift of some sort. Close relationships may be tested, but don't resort to drastic measures.

Taurus

With the sun in your sign you can look forward to a positive birthday revelation or two. You will also be itching to spring clean your life, which may require the jettisoning of dead wood. Your words carry power and others are more susceptible to your bidding.

Gemini

Is a relationship beginning to peter out? Are you sure? Perhaps all that is needed is a break from the humdrum in order that you reconnect again. The sun in your sign later on in May makes you sassy, sophisticated and even chattier than normal. Is that possible?

Cancer

Fortune smiles on you this month and I'm sure you will use this to your advantage. The sun in Taurus illuminates your hopes, dreams and aspirations, and by the time it moves into Gemini, you will want to start making things happen

Leo

The sun is at the top of your chart, placing you on show this month. Your natural habitat. Tempted to do something radical? Why not trial that new look you have been toying with. If fellow Leo Madonna can carry off reinvention, then so can you!

Virgo

Love planet Venus in Taurus opens many doors for you, and money luck will flourish, as long as you keep a level head. Once the sun moves into Gemini, it provides you with your chance for recognition and you will shine and, moreover, reap your just rewards.

Libra

Home and family issues loom into view, and you may be tempted to shy away from the glare of the outside world. Once the sun hits Gemini, however, you see the world from a new standpoint as you return to your charming, sociable self.

Scorpio

Don't run yourself ragged being a people pleaser. Find a balance. Work and health matters are of high importance, and as the sun is in your partnership house, with Venus and Mars, you can get ready for passion. This is the month to get projects off the ground.

Sagittarius

Love may be more volatile than usual, and the sun in your work zone means that there could be some movement on the job front. Pluto's connection to your monetary area stimulates the need to make long lasting commitments. Emotions may come into play, however much you try to play dodge.

Capricorn

It's nothing short of a hive of activity this month. The sun gives you some answers, although this may require a leap of faith from you, but with the combined force of Mars and Venus in the equation, you won't be short on passion.

Aquarius

It's a month to knock plans you've been mulling over for a while into shape. Things just seem to fall into place for you. The sun in Gemini brings fun times, and also encourages you to be a little more emotionally revealing.

Pisces

You're on the ball with finances, and luck has a part to play here. In fact you feel that you really have the world at your feet. But try not to get too wrapped up in yourself, or carried away, as loved ones could be feeling a little out in the cold.
