Don’t dwell in the frustration because Mars comes home to your sign on May 24, and you’ve got better things to be all fired up about. It might as well be your season, because you’re still calling the shots.
Venus moves into Taurus on May 28 giving you some extra help in attracting your desires. Be mindful of your spending because with Venus in this house, flashy and expensive things will catch your eye. With Mars conjunct Jupiter at this time, you’ll want to give yourself the world. By all means treat yourself, but set a budget. Mercury is still retrograde after all. The new moon in Gemini on May 30 ends the month but sets the tone for the next one. This day will be a mind-opening experience. Use this period to explore new thoughts and tap into different streams of consciousness, as this lunation smoothly connects to your planet, Mars.
