Whether or not you believe in the predictive power of the stars, this new monthly column is designed to serve as an entertaining vehicle for self-examination and mindful living.

Aries

This May, Venus, the Sun, and Mercury are in the Aries, bringing enormous planetary power for improvement and growth.

Sun gets exalted in Aries, and therefore your talents will shine at the work place, bringing you benefits and rewards. Overall, work will be very satisfying this month, as you will accomplish more in less time. This is a period of Happy Money—money that is earned in happy and enjoyable way. With Venus, the planet of creativity in ascendant, your creativity will be at all-time high. Mars, the sign lord, will be in retrograde motion most of the month.

With your creative ability on top, you will make the best of your talent in this period.

Overall, a very promising period when position, money and love are within your reach and you will enjoy the voluntary work of all kinds.
