In regard to the subject of this month’s column, I’m pretty sure I don’t need to take a poll of readers to ask how many of them like to read about planes falling out of the sky, but it seems to have become a thing over the last few years, and we have another such event to take an astrological look at this month. Of course, some of this kind of activity involves the business that has been going on with Boeing over the last year or so, and we can’t really help out with that. Their problem with the so-called “Max 8” aircraft very clearly has something to do with a manufacturer cutting corners on safety, so the passengers lost in two planes of this type in October of…

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Fired up. Your passion for staying in shape and looking your best is fired up now, Gemini. On the 7th, the Full Moon highlights your wellness sector (solar 6th), so consider joining a gym if you are not already a member. If you have a regular routine, try to step up the pace. If you want to try something new, do it, but only with guidance from a trainer. 9th-16th: Pump it up! This is the right time to continue exercising, even if it’s a new thing for you. If you find a gym routine boring, there are many other ways to challenge yourself physically. Walking, running, or bicycling can be done easily on your own schedule, and asking a partner or friend to join you…

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: A new routine. Getting in shape should be at the top of your priority list, Sagittarius.

With Mercury forming a semisextile to Venus in your relationship sector (solar 7th) on the 7th, get your partner or close friend to join you in your new routine. 9th-16th: Sensitivity training. Mercury enters your solar 7th on the 11th so spend quality time with your significant other or a close friend. Once Venus begins its retrograde journey in that same sector on the 13th, misunderstandings are possible, so be sensitive in what you say. Plan a romantic getaway for after June 25th, when…

Welcome to May, along with our best hopes for blue skies and fair weather. This month the movement of the lunar North Node into the sign of Gemini is on tap for a discussion focused on how this change of sign meshes with the North Node you were born with. The involvement of the North Node with other elements of your birth chart and with transiting planets generally centers on the more positive aspects of life, so it is worth your time to study the article on page 32. A good way to understand your personal Sun sign is to look at how famous people of that sign lived their lives, what they thought about the world, and the ways in which they used their creative skills. Our article on…

The most fascinating astrological placements in your horoscope are those of the North and the South lunar nodes. There are a number of interesting tidbits about these two points that make their position in your horoscope quite unique. The North and South nodes are of course directly opposite each other, so as they move along through the zodiac they highlight two opposite signs. This astrological polarity involving two very strong opposing forces of equal strength produces a very diverse energy reminiscent of the concept of the opposing energies of yin and yang. Yin energy is yielding, passive, and dark, and yang energy is unyielding, active, and light. In general, when the transiting South Node touches a house or a planet in your chart it shows an area in your life…

When we look into the magic book that measures the world – you can call it what you wish, but I will call it my ephemeris – we discern some impending retrogrades. Further, the retrogrades in question have to do with planets sometimes called “social,” the ones we refer to as Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. Some of you might say to me, “Now look here, Lyons, why do you call Saturn a ‘social’ planet? Isn’t he one of the most unsocial, not to mention unsociable planets available? Others of you might say, and quite reasonably, “Look here, Lyons, doesn’t every planet have a social dimension? And if every planet has such a dimension, why single out Jupiter and Saturn, not to mention Venus, as social planets?” Saturn and Weddings Let’s…

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Luxury items. Increased finances will allow you to buy a few luxury items that you have eyed before but did not dare to purchase, Aries. On the 4th, the Sun forms a conjunction to Mercury in your solar 2nd while the Full Moon shines its light in your solar 8th on the 7th. Business transactions should yield positive results if you plan carefully with an eye toward the future. 9th-16th: Slowing down. Venus stations retrograde in your solar 3rd on the 13th, followed by Jupiter’s retrograde station in your solar 10th on the 14th. This is a reminder to slow down and review your professional choices, especially in regard to extra projects for which you may have volunteered. Taking a step backward can be, ironically, the…

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Meet, greet, love. New and lasting friendships may come into your life now, Cancer. The Sun and Mercury forming a conjunction in your solar 11th on the 4th, followed by Mercury forming a sextile to Neptune in your solar 9th three days later, inspire you to socialize with likeminded people at a book club, class, or meetup group you’ve been wanting to attend. 9th-16th: Art of compromise. Jupiter stations retrograde in your solar 7th on the 14th, so you may have differences of opinion about plans you have made with your significant other, a close friend, or a business partner. There is plenty of time to perfect the art of compromise, but if you work on it now you will be able to get past your…

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Feeling flush. With the Full Moon shining brightly in your solar 2nd on the 7th you may have additional funds to spare, Libra. If so, make plans for a summer vacation that may cost slightly more than usual. You do not have to break the bank or overdraw your credit cards, but this may be the right time to spend a few extra dollars for some unique time off. 9th-16th: Home business. When Mercury in your solar 8th forms a trine to Jupiter in your solar 4th on the 10th, brainstorm with family or friends about new investment opportunities.

Mercury in your solar 5th forms a trine to Pluto and Jupiter in your sign on the 9th and 10th so take advantage of this wildly creative time.

Astrology’s theme song could easily be “Getting to Know You,” the song that comes from the Broadway musical The King and I, which of course was later turned into the film of the same name. This Rodgers and Hammerstein creation is based on a 1944 best-selling novel by Margaret Landon (born September 7, 1903) called Anna and the King of Siam. Landon’s novel itself was based on the memoirs of Anna Harriette Emma Leonowens (born November 5, 1831) a widowed schoolteacher who for six years taught the many children of the King of Siam’s 39. In 1870, after she had left his employ, she wrote a book about her experiences. The English Governess at the Siamese Court, which became a best-seller. Critics have accused Mrs. Leonowens of embellishing her experiences…

In olden days, May was referred to as the “merry” month. On the first day of May, people who were young or young at heart danced blithely around a Maypole that was decorated with fresh flowers. Love-making often occurred. May is associated with the arrival of warm weather and budding trees. But this year, there are other changes on the horizon. Four planets will spend at least some of this month moving in an apparently backward direction, as they travel retrograde. As seen from the Sun, the planets Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto will be moving forward, but it will appear to the observer on Earth that these planets are moving backwards. Saturn turns retrograde on May 10, and continues in that direction until September 29. Venus turns retrograde on…

All positions are for Midnight EST. The longitudes table indicates each planet’s daily position in the signs. The declinations table shows each planet’s placement north or south of the celestial equator. “R” in a planet’s listing in the longitude table indicates that it begins retrograde motion on that date, or may indicate retrograde status at the beginning of the month. “D” means that the planet has resumed its forward (direct) motion in the signs. Exact times for all of these phenomena are given in the Hourly Guide and in the Planning Calendar on the pages following this one.…

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Speak your mind. This is the perfect time for you to voice strong opinions by speaking your mind in a decisive yet diplomatic manner, Taurus. On the 4th, the Sun forms a conjunction with Mercury in your sign, inspiring you to be both articulate and courageous. Don’t be timid, but do make an effort to allow for compromise while sticking to your ideals. 9th-16th: Moving forward. On the 10th, Saturn stations retrograde in your professional sector (your solar 10th) that lasts until September 29th. This begins a period during which you may disagree with colleagues about how you approach your job. As Mercury in your solar 2nd forms a trine to Saturn on the 12th, for now you have patience and the ability to talk things…

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Time for family. Mend fences with family members who may have missed seeing you lately, Leo. On the 7th the Full Moon shines a spotlight on your solar 4th, so strive to manage your time well so you can do better at balancing your professional and personal activities. Delegating work at your day job may be one way to give yourself more spare time. 9th-16th: Career forward. With the Sun in your solar 10th forming a trine to Pluto in your solar 6th on the 15th you may achieve a level of professional success you have been aiming for.

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Dream big. Your confidence is at an all-time high, so explore all possibilities, Scorpio. With the Full Moon illuminating your sign on the 7th there is no stopping you from following your dreams and pursuing your goals. On the 4th, when the Sun and Mercury conjoin in your solar 7th, treat your significant other or a close friend to a night out. 9th-16th: An interesting proposition. When Mercury enters your solar 8th on the 11th, a close friend or relative may interest you in an intriguing business venture. While it might seem like a good opportunity, be aware that Venus goes retrograde in that same sector on the 13th. Review the situation now, but don’t make a firm decision on it until Venus goes direct on…

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: Presenting yourself. You may become active in a committee at your day job, or for an organization with which you are involved, Aquarius.

You may be asked to make a presentation, or take a leadership position as a result. 9th-16th: Spend and save. Saturn stations retrograde in your sign on the 10th, while Mars enters your solar 2nd on the 12th, so you may be tempted to make a purchase that is a bit over what your budget allows.

YOUR MAY GUIDE 1st-8th: In demand. You are much in demand so pace yourself without over-scheduling social activities, Pisces. On the 7th, Mercury in your solar 3rd forms a sextile to Neptune in your sign so you may be invited to several networking events that occur simultaneously. If so, either split your time between the two or choose the one where you can meet the most influential people. 9th-16th: Stress release. When Mars enters your sign on the 12th your energy will be at the highest level it has been for a long time. Take advantage of physical activities you can fit into your schedule. That may include working out at the gym, running, bicycling, swimming, or tennis. Do whatever you need to do to work up a sweat and…
