Your Personal Horoscope 2009: Month-by-month Forecasts for Every Sign. Joseph Polansky
are still very much into a yearly career peak and it is even stronger than last month. Pay rises and promotions are likely. You are on top this month, in power, calling the shots. Very ambitious. Even the family seems supportive of your career goals, and are probably not raising a fuss about neglect. The family as a whole seems elevated this month; family members are succeeding and the family status (as a whole) is elevated.
You are working hard. The demands of career are strong. There are competitors for your position, or in your industry. But you have friends in the right places helping you out. Personal effort, communication skills, good use of the media and a willingness to travel or get the education you need will carry you through and bring you to your goals.
Continue to watch your health until the 20th. Give attention to the organs mentioned last month and (of course) try to rest and relax more. Your career may be important and demanding, but try to pace yourself better.
On the 20th your 11th House of Friends, Group Activities and Organizations becomes strong. (It was strong last month as well but is now even stronger.) Thus you are making new and important friends. There is joy in group activities or being involved with organizations. Many of you are realizing your fondest hopes and wishes. Your good professional reputation is bringing many new social opportunities.
Love is still very happy. Keep in mind that Venus, the universal planet of love, will make a rare Retrograde movement beginning on the 6th and this could complicate things. For you, it seems to affect love affairs (outside of marriage) rather than your actual marriage. Be more patient with children these days. Your policy towards them might need a review. They in turn need to review their personal goals and see where improvements need to be made. Avoid speculations after the 6th.
The planetary power shifts the month, from the Western social sector to the Eastern sector. By the 15th the East will be dominant. Thus you are becoming more independent and self-confident. You don’t need to adapt to situations or toady up to others (though you shouldn’t be rude to them). If conditions don’t suit you, make changes and create situations the way you desire them to be.
Like last month, finances are not a big deal. I read this as a good sign—you are basically content with your finances. Earning power should be stronger from the 1st to the 11th and from the 26th to the 31st as the Moon is waxing. You can schedule your work accordingly.

A very interesting love situation is developing with someone above you in status, perhaps a boss or superior in your company. But this is not a smooth ride. There are bumps on the road. This could happen in a foreign country or at a seminar or school-type setting. Students have love interests with their professors too. But Venus is Retrograde so it is wise to go slow here.
Venus will be Retrograde until the 17th so continue to be patient with children and let them work out their issues on their own.
The Retrograde mood of Venus also impacts on your spiritual life (she is your spiritual planet). Thus avoid making important changes to your spiritual practice or regime. Study things more. If you are involved in charities or altruistic causes, this is a time for a review of these things. After the 17th you can act as you see fit.
Career interest is still strong, but becoming weaker than last month. Probably most goals have been achieved (at least, those that were possible to achieve) and you’re ready to become more social. Your 11th House of Friends, Group Activities and Organizations is still very strong until the 19th. You have strong networking skills by nature; now they are even stronger.
Spirituality becomes very important this month—especially after the 9th. It is another excellent period for religious or spiritually oriented pilgrimages, spiritual retreats, religious and spiritual breakthroughs. Life will become more ‘supernatural’ after the 19th. Weird ‘synchronistic’ experiences will happen that cannot be explained by three-dimensional logic. This is spirit’s way of letting you know that it is around and involved in your life. Your intuition is very sound right now; as you follow it and trust it, it will guide you to love, the right life partner and to the true desires of your heart. How do you know whether an intuition is real? The New Moon of the 25th is going to clarify these issues (and many other spiritual issues).
Health is good this month and you can make it even better by giving attention to the organs mentioned in the yearly report (see page 91).
Finances are status quo. You will have more energy and enthusiasm for financial matters from the 1st to the 9th and from the 25th onwards.

Pluto, your health planet, started to Retrograde on April 4th and will be Retrograde for months to come. This affects your health regimes and practices. This is not a good time to make major changes here but, rather, it is a time for study and review. Overall health is good and getting better, and you have no need to make major changes.
This Retrograde movement of Pluto also affects jobseekers and those who hire others. Though job opportunities are plentiful these days (although last month was a little stronger for this than now) you still need to do more homework. Job descriptions and conditions are probably not what they seem to be. The same is true for prospective employees.
On May 20, as the Sun enters your own Sign, you enter a yearly personal pleasure peak—a time for pampering the body, getting it in shape and for enjoying the pleasures of the senses. You are also entering a period of very great independence (especially after the 20th), but with Mercury going Retrograde from the 7th to the 31st do more homework on the changes you want to make. Yes, you should create conditions as you desire them to be—you should take the bull by the horns and make things happen—but you need to be clear as to exactly what you want. Take some time to think things through and act after the 31st.
Love still seems happy. The office relationship we spoke of last month is still happening and going strong. But this relationship could be with someone involved with your career or just someone of high status compared to you. Love will improve further after the 20th and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were wedding bells ringing for singles. Serious love is in the air.
The interest in the spiritual life is still strong until the 20th, so re-read our discussion of this from last month.
Finances are happy but are not an especially strong interest. The Sun in your own Sign after the 20th is always a positive for finances. You have more self-confidence, and thus you have greater earning capacities. The income of your spouse or partner is improving this month, as his or her financial planet starts to move forwards after many months of Retrograde motion. Deals which have stalled start to move on again. Prosperity is stronger for your partner after the 20th than before. After the 20th is also a better time for borrowing money, paying off debt, or attracting outside investors than before this date.
