Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope – May 2018

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:

May 2018 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until May 21st:

The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.

From May 21st forward:

The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".

You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 19th: 

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

From May 19th forward: 

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 13th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.

From May 13-30: 

Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.

Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.

You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.

From May 30th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.

Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until May 16th:

Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.

From May 16th forward:

Mars animates and energizes your solar third house during this period. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result.

Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now.

More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas.

A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.

May 2018 Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope: While work and mundane matters take center stage for much of May, dear Sagittarius, this is nevertheless a lively month for relationships and a robust period for your emotional life, as well. Organizing, managing, and handling the details of your life will go a long way towards a stronger sense of accomplishment with a heavy emphasis on your sector of work and health. However, the focus is on making sweeping changes with these things, so tap into your intuition to determine what needs refreshment. While the New Moon on the 15th can bring new energy into your daily routines, and new work or work projects altogether for some of you, it can also be an impulsive time. There can be some challenges with money (and love) in the first half of May, but the focus sharply changes mid-month. The Full Moon on the 29th is in your sign and can bring a personal matter to a head or an important turning point in your life.

Your ruler, Jupiter, is in excellent form this month, and this improves your general outlook as well as your magnetism. Sound energy is with you for healing and enhancing family relationships or for connecting powerfully with your secret wishes, feelings, and needs. Finances continue to require more toughness and discipline. Good energy for attracting or enhancing a partnership is with you from June 21st forward. It's also a time for being a little more proactive with making contacts and connections and reaching out to others.

Things are moving forward quickly with creative projects, romantic relationships (or signals), partnerships and negotiations in the first two weeks of May. On the 5-7, though, you can find fantastic inspiration to improve your work or health. There may be opportunities to bring more creative flair to your services or the job you do. Peace, beauty, and harmony in the home can be therapeutic for you all month, but particularly around the 5-7 and 23-25. However, making changes involving work and health is better left until after mid-month. Before then, do extra fact-checking and research. Around the 8th, you can feel a little overwhelmed with things to do. You're taking greater pride in your work, daily routines, or your health and wellness, but you're also in need of a break from the routine. This is the time to seek out a better work-life balance.

From the 11-13, your work and business sense is extraordinary. You could find yourself very absorbed in details, quite passionately so, and likely to good end. This is all about growing, improving, and moving on. Your thinking is especially inventive, and your creative hunches are powerful. News coming in today, or ideas coming to you seemingly out of the blue, can set you on a new path. Watch, however, for hasty communications. The energy around you mid-month can feel competitive, but if you use it to step up your game rather than to rush decisions, then it works in your favor! The 13-18 is suitable for working with a partner or connecting with someone special through work.

The New Moon on the 15th motivates you to take charge of your health, self-care initiatives, and work. If you've been holding on too tightly to a stressful work situation or job, then the matter may come to a head. This particular New Moon comes at a changeful time when both Uranus and Mars are entering new signs and challenging with one another via a square aspect, adding to the already impulsive energy of the New Moon. This can feel exciting and tense at the same time! While inventiveness is a positive side to this energy, watch for rashness.

Big changes are on the horizon related to your daily life, routines, habits, and work. Opportunities and new insights come in the areas of work and health mid-month. There may be excitement about a new health and wellness program that gives you a sense of having a new lease on life. Improvements or other opportunities at or through work can come out of the blue, boosting your confidence. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is intense. Your working life can bring startling surprises, and you'll need a little time to adjust to the changes in routine. With Uranus moving into your solar sixth house, you enter a lengthy period in which your work, daily routines, and health can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You can bring fresh insight to your work now, although you might be impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic, and your energy/motivation levels tend to be up and down as you wrestle with inspiration. Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself through your work and routines, and while it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius.” Do your best to keep open to change and current developments regarding your work or health. Staying in touch with current developments in your field gives you a nice edge. This Uranus transit will kick in more consistently from March 2019 forward (until April 2026), but a preview of this energy is happening now.

Mars moves into your communications sector on the 16th, revving up your daily life and motivating you to get out and about. Mars will stay here longer than his usual two months due to a retrograde this summer, and it's important to keep in mind that what you're jumping into now may come up for review later.

The 17-19 brings everything down to earth. This is the time to make some plans and strategies. From the 19th forward, Venus transits your intimacy sector. It's a great time for addressing unusual, taboo, or complicated matters with a very open mind. Others can be pleasantly surprising, bringing light and fun into your life. There may be a good turn on a financial or business level. People are backing you up, and this feels good.

Later in May, you're shifting from a work-centered focus to a social one. We've seen Mars moving into harmony with your sign and motivating you to get connected from the 16th. Now the Sun moves into your partnership sector on the 21st - another social sector of your chart. Collaborating with someone special can figure strongly now. The enthusiasm stirred up can take you far. You can be feeling particularly alive and vital through other special people.

The Jupiter-Neptune trine that first formed last December and has been a subtle influence since then is forming once again in the last week of May. You're finding greater joy in being of service to others. Your confidence builds as you help and support others. It can be a period for developing your psychic abilities and understanding your family connections more intuitively. Your perceptions heighten. This comes around the time of a Full Moon in your sign (on the 29th) and a Venus-Jupiter trine (in influence on the 31st), turning up the volume of your feelings and intuition even further. It's an emotionally rich and fertile time.

Sagittarius (Born December 3 to 12) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Sagittarius:

May 2018 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.

It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 3rd: 

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

From May 3-28: 

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

May 2018 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until May 10th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.

This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.

From May 10th forward:

The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines.

Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 6th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.

You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.

From the 6-25: 

Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.

Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.

From May 25th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.

Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.

You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.

Overview Horoscope:

May 2018 Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope: While work and mundane matters take center stage for much of May, dear Sagittarius, this is nevertheless a lively month for relationships and a robust period for your emotional life, as well. Organizing, managing, and handling the details of your life will go a long way towards a stronger sense of accomplishment with a heavy emphasis on your sector of work and health. However, the focus is on making sweeping changes with these things, so tap into your intuition to determine what needs refreshment. While the New Moon on the 15th can bring new energy into your daily routines, and new work or work projects altogether for some of you, it can also be an impulsive time. There can be some challenges with money (and love) in the first half of May, but the focus sharply changes mid-month. The Full Moon on the 29th is in your sign and can bring a personal matter to a head or an important turning point in your life.

Your ruler, Jupiter, is in excellent form this month, and this improves your general outlook as well as your magnetism. Sound energy is with you for healing and enhancing family relationships or for connecting powerfully with your secret wishes, feelings, and needs. Finances continue to require more toughness and discipline. Good energy for attracting or enhancing a partnership is with you from June 21st forward. It's also a time for being a little more proactive with making contacts and connections and reaching out to others.

Things are moving forward quickly with creative projects, romantic relationships (or signals), partnerships and negotiations in the first two weeks of May. On the 5-7, though, you can find fantastic inspiration to improve your work or health. There may be opportunities to bring more creative flair to your services or the job you do. Peace, beauty, and harmony in the home can be therapeutic for you all month, but particularly around the 5-7 and 23-25. However, making changes involving work and health is better left until after mid-month. Before then, do extra fact-checking and research. Around the 8th, you can feel a little overwhelmed with things to do. You're taking greater pride in your work, daily routines, or your health and wellness, but you're also in need of a break from the routine. This is the time to seek out a better work-life balance.

From the 11-13, your work and business sense is extraordinary. You could find yourself very absorbed in details, quite passionately so, and likely to good end. This is all about growing, improving, and moving on. Your thinking is especially inventive, and your creative hunches are powerful. News coming in today, or ideas coming to you seemingly out of the blue, can set you on a new path. Watch, however, for hasty communications. The energy around you mid-month can feel competitive, but if you use it to step up your game rather than to rush decisions, then it works in your favor! The 13-18 is suitable for working with a partner or connecting with someone special through work.

The New Moon on the 15th motivates you to take charge of your health, self-care initiatives, and work. If you've been holding on too tightly to a stressful work situation or job, then the matter may come to a head. This particular New Moon comes at a changeful time when both Uranus and Mars are entering new signs and challenging with one another via a square aspect, adding to the already impulsive energy of the New Moon. This can feel exciting and tense at the same time! While inventiveness is a positive side to this energy, watch for rashness.

Big changes are on the horizon related to your daily life, routines, habits, and work. Opportunities and new insights come in the areas of work and health mid-month. There may be excitement about a new health and wellness program that gives you a sense of having a new lease on life. Improvements or other opportunities at or through work can come out of the blue, boosting your confidence. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is intense. Your working life can bring startling surprises, and you'll need a little time to adjust to the changes in routine. With Uranus moving into your solar sixth house, you enter a lengthy period in which your work, daily routines, and health can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You can bring fresh insight to your work now, although you might be impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic, and your energy/motivation levels tend to be up and down as you wrestle with inspiration. Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself through your work and routines, and while it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius.” Do your best to keep open to change and current developments regarding your work or health. Staying in touch with current developments in your field gives you a nice edge. This Uranus transit will kick in more consistently from March 2019 forward (until April 2026), but a preview of this energy is happening now.

Mars moves into your communications sector on the 16th, revving up your daily life and motivating you to get out and about. Mars will stay here longer than his usual two months due to a retrograde this summer, and it's important to keep in mind that what you're jumping into now may come up for review later.

The 17-19 brings everything down to earth. This is the time to make some plans and strategies. From the 19th forward, Venus transits your intimacy sector. It's a great time for addressing unusual, taboo, or complicated matters with a very open mind. Others can be pleasantly surprising, bringing light and fun into your life. There may be a good turn on a financial or business level. People are backing you up, and this feels good.

Later in May, you're shifting from a work-centered focus to a social one. We've seen Mars moving into harmony with your sign and motivating you to get connected from the 16th. Now the Sun moves into your partnership sector on the 21st - another social sector of your chart. Collaborating with someone special can figure strongly now. The enthusiasm stirred up can take you far. You can be feeling particularly alive and vital through other special people.

The Jupiter-Neptune trine that first formed last December and has been a subtle influence since then is forming once again in the last week of May. You're finding greater joy in being of service to others. Your confidence builds as you help and support others. It can be a period for developing your psychic abilities and understanding your family connections more intuitively. Your perceptions heighten. This comes around the time of a Full Moon in your sign (on the 29th) and a Venus-Jupiter trine (in influence on the 31st), turning up the volume of your feelings and intuition even further. It's an emotionally rich and fertile time.
