As May opens, you seem to be huddled close with an important partner or collaborator and deep in private conversations. Perhaps you will focus on building a strategy for a new venture or to find the right competitive advantage for a new product or service. Alternatively, you may concentrate on finding the right way to approach an upcoming legal situation. It may simply be that you have a sweet little secret that you are happy to keep hidden from view, at least for now. Or, you may be planning for someone a surprise that you need to keep under wraps until you are ready to present it.

Whatever you seem to be thinking about, you are right to keep things private. Work joyfully and quietly, mainly alone or with only one or two others in the days that follow the new moon May 5. If you do, the universe will richly reward you with many original ideas and help you refine all you have on your mind. The twelfth house is where all this planetary activity will take place during the first half of May, and it governs thoughts and actions you do in solitude, behind closed doors.

The new moon on May 5 is truly extraordinary in that it will beam such outstanding vibrations to Jupiter, the planet of luck, happiness, and even miracles. At the same time a golden triangle of planetary support will appear in the sky, linking Venus, Saturn, and Pluto, each from very different vantage points in your chart. The houses involved include your twelfth house of solitude and privacy, your eighth house of transformations, and the fourth house of "the end of all matters," which in this case should please you! (The fourth house also rules family support, which you will have in abundance now.) You've not seen such a breathtaking display of planetary harmony in a long time, so this month's heavenly aspects will be truly spectacular.

If there is a habit you have long wished you could stop or replace, you now will have the ideal month to take action. Start on the new moon May 5, but as odd as this sounds, not sooner. On the other hand, don't wait too long beyond May 5 either. The new moon will supply you with a deep reservoir of energy and determination that will carry you forward and help you over any possible rough patches. Even if you've tried and failed in the past to overcome this one habit, this month is beckoning you and whispering over and over to you, "You can succeed!"

If you have a fear or troublesome experience that you would like to discuss with a professional - whether a therapist, doctor, or life coach - this would be the time to do so. As you may have gathered by now, private meetings about private topics will go well. Health and well-being is strongly associated with this house, and since the twelfth house rules psychotherapy and mind-body rehabilitation, delving into this area would be the right idea, if you were so inclined.

The twelfth house, ruling the subconscious, is also considered a place of high creativity, symbolized by the primordial waters of creation. It is the repository in you that tenderly holds your dreams, hopes, wishes, memories, feelings, intuition, and ideas. Taken in the aggregate, these feelings, thoughts, and past experiences form the rich, complex tapestry that makes you uniquely "you." Now you can express your individuality in a very effective and moving way. The planets in May will stimulate your right brain impressively, making it an excellent time to experiment and make various artistic expressions, whether that be through writing, art, music, dance - you will get to choose your favorite endeavor.

The twelfth house rules confinement of all kinds including hospitals, so if you should find you need an operation or procedure, physical therapy, or special dental work, take advantage of all the shining aspects available to you during the first half of May. You would get the right care, and due to Jupiter's help, your health insurance policy may even cover most (if not all) of the costs involved.

Speaking of money, this month rates a "10." There will be several points in May that incredibly strong moments will present sudden opportunity or good news that will allow you to profit. It may be through the earning of a generous commission, fee, advance, royalty, bonus, bank loan, scholarship, or other means.

The first day to circle on your calendar will be Monday, May 12. That is when the mighty Sun will contact both Jupiter and Uranus, and both will work to help you. Have your cell phone powered up - when good news strikes it could be as quick as lightning!

The second outstanding date will fall on Tuesday, May 21. Again you need to stay alert for news about your career or financial situation - both are due to zoom forward. Actually, you may be interested to know that this day will mark the second of three spectacular identical aspects involving Jupiter (gifts, luck) and Uranus (surprises). This was to be the big headline news of 2008, and you will experience one of those "conversations" between these two heavyweight planets this month. The first contact happened on March 28, the next will be this month on May 21, and the final contact will occur November 13. Think of these three aspects as beautiful pearls on a necklace.

Think back to March 28 and to the discussions and developments that came up then - those same talks will be advanced now, on May 21. Indeed, these three conversations of Jupiter and Uranus are one of the big features of 2008. These planets will color this year with lovely pastel shades of hope and happiness. After 2008 is done, these planets won't be back in direct conversation for many years, so take May 21 seriously. It's a golden day to use!

Now let's turn our attention to the full moon, May 19. Again your work and well-being will become a center of attention, and again, there will be money to be made. A work project or assignment could reach fullness at the full moon, and you may be working hard to ship it out the door. You may decide to get a new computer at this time, or you may reorganize closets and computer files. It is also possible that you may be given approval to hire an assistant at this time. (Alternatively, you may hire a helper in your personal life such as a new nanny or gardener.)

As mentioned, this full moon will be well angled to Jupiter and Uranus, so the result may be that this full moon will trigger more even money your way. As you read this, you may at first be skeptical. If so, who could blame you? You have had many expenses lately so you may assume the month will only bring more of the same dreary assembly line of bills. Ah, but the universe is full of surprises now, dear Gemini. This month, if you don't find money, it just might find you. Truly, you have excellent aspects to fill your pockets with more cash, but I tend to think it will have a lot to do with all the good work you've done over past months and years.

The reason the past few months have been so hard on your finances is due to Mars' recent tour of Cancer, a very difficult spot for you, as a Gemini, to host Mars. Happily, Mars will finally leave Cancer on May 9. You may have begun to feel a financial drain as far back as late September. Now you'll be able to get on better financial footing, and even if it takes you several weeks or months to catch up, the point is, you will be able to build a strong sense of security for yourself.

Mars will move into a lovely place, your travel sector, beginning May 9 through June 30. You will suddenly find that you are on the road quite a bit in May. A Gemini with no place to go is a little like a beautiful bird in a gilded cage, anxious to fly free but unable to do so. This month you will get your wish and you will be able to roam as far as you like. You may travel to see a friend or sibling, or you may go to study or learn, say, by going to an industry convention or set of seminars.

Even if you must travel for business, you will find the trips you take in the first three weeks of May to be relaxing, refreshing, and rejuvenating. You usually follow quite a frenetic schedule, but in May you'd be wise to slow down. It may come down to scheduling only one less meeting per day, but that would be enough to make for a much more pleasant experience. The accommodations you will have seem to be special, too.

Mercury will retrograde in Gemini from May 26 to June 19, so it will be important to schedule your key meetings for early in the month. You mustn't come up too close to either the start or end date of the retrograde - it's always wise to leave some space around those dates as Mercury will always act wildest and be most troublesome on those "bookend" dates.

You will begin to feel a slowdown in the tempo of your schedule as early as May 12. Find closure to important talks by mid-month, and after that, be content to attend to routine matters until the end of June.

If you need to sign papers, do so from May 5 to 12. This retrograde will affect you more than most, because it will fall in Gemini. Be careful and go slowly in all matters. Do not buy any new furniture, electronics, or expensive clothes or jewelry. An agreement made in late May or during most of June would need to be renegotiated later. (You may safely act after June 23.)

If you find you are feeling tired near the full moon, May 19, you may be running down your resistance. If so, it would be a good time to take a break. Sleep in and treat yourself to more rest. If you have sought the advice of a medical doctor for a condition that has concerned you, you may get a final diagnosis at the full moon, near May 19, plus or minus four days.

By month's end, May 20, the Sun will enter Gemini and you will come into your own. You will grow stronger, more optimistic, and energetic. If you have had to keep mum about many matters, it appears that you might want to reveal your plans or secret in the last third of the month.

Romantically, Venus will move through Gemini from May 25 to June 20, a wonderful development, for it will make your charms very apparent to one and all. Ironically, it will be a phase that will coincide almost exactly to the coming Mercury retrograde period. This could be really good news, as it will be like being given an open pass to slow down and stop and smell the roses.

You rarely take time off, dear Gemini, for you are like a little molecule in perpetual orbiting motion. Now, with Mercury about to retrograde, you need not even try to keep up that pace. It is time to relax, sit back, and watch events unfold. You have done your work - now watch your seeds grow. This month will send you an invitation to enjoy life for a refreshing change.

If you are single, the strong emphasis on your twelfth house will make having a blind date a great idea. Give it a try, and try to schedule your date for the week that spans May 5-12. If you are married or attached, the wonderful aspects stemming from your eighth house will make you feel very sexy and desirable all month, and rightly so!

One of your happiest weekends will be when the moon glides in friendly Aquarius, and Venus by then will be in Gemini, May 24-25. That might be birthday time, and if so, it would be a lovely weekend for a celebration dinner.

Here is a list of your most romantic evenings: May 3, 10-12, 15-16, 24-25, and 30.

Summary

You seem to have a secret, and whatever it is, it looks like you want to enjoy it all to yourself, at least for now. If your expression is any indication - that is that you have the tiger by the tail - you would be wise to keep mum. Your idea apparently needs more work and isn't ready to show to others. While you embellish it, protect it from prying eyes and possible copycats. A good idea is precious.

You now find yourself in a powerful planning period. Keep your head down, hands firmly gripped on the steering wheel, and eyes straight ahead. You will have much to gain by doing meticulous strategizing - accomplish this in the month's first three weeks. Planets will spin in rare syncopation and will allow you to see remarkable results. This period is simply too extraordinary to waste.

Your subconscious mind will be very active now, and because you will be able to plumb your deepest depths with clarity and sense of purpose, you will be able to achieve even the impossible.

Is there a habit you've fallen into that you wish you could change? Is there something that you'd like to give up? There will be no better time to work on banishing this detrimental habit than on the new moon May 5. Continue to strictly follow your resolution in the weeks that follow that new moon, and aim for consistency. You have the very best opportunity to finally be free of the habit, but you must be serious and sincere in your efforts. The closer you begin to May 5, the better.

Financially, you have come through one of the highest spending periods in years. Since late September your checkbook has been through a workout, and just when you felt you might be getting on top of all the expenses that have been coming at you, even more showed up. Now, relief is on the way and will show up after Mars leaves its long tour of Cancer, May 9. From then on, you can be reasonably sure you won't have such a heavy burden to carry any longer - your spirit will be lighter and happier because you will be able to finally lower, or even obliterate, debt.

You will have two special career reward days coming up. The first will come on May 12. On that day, give a presentation, schedule a job interview, or send in an application. It's a great day, when the seeds that you plant will later have a good chance of bearing fruit due to a lovely interaction between Jupiter, Uranus, and the Sun. If you cannot meet on this day, do so in the days that lead up to May 12.

A major assignment will be due by the full moon, May 19. Happily, your project will be signed, sealed, and delivered by the time the Sun moves into Gemini, and you'll have a warm feeling of accomplishment. You will be under a bit of an energy drain, so keep your health up to par near this full moon, May 19.

On May 25, Venus will move into Gemini, to stay until June 17. This will be a superb opportunity to arrange for a little private time for you and only you. If you have children, treat yourself to extra babysitting help during this phase. You will have a chance to enjoy certain pleasures you've not indulged in for some time, like a quiet walk through a museum, lunch with friends, or time to do flower arranging or Thai cooking.

You may have forgotten how much these pastimes and activities - as simple as they might be - nurture your soul. With Mercury in retrograde you can reunite with old friends and resume an old hobby that you always loved doing. You may view these activities as "not important" but you'd be wrong on that score - you need this time more than you might suspect.

To celebrate the longer, warmer days, plan a little trip out of town. You may be too busy to travel far, but no matter - a short two-to-four day weekend sounds perfect. Most people will choose to flee town on the American holiday, Memorial Day, over the weekend May 24-26, and you may, too.

Mercury will begin to retrograde on May 26 until June 19, bringing postponements and cancellations, forgotten items, and so forth. Guard against these little problems by double-checking your car, your keys, and all the other things you need to take with you, and in transit, make sure you don't lose your cell phone or other belongings. If this trip can be a restful one, so much the better.

Romantically, your charisma will increase once the Sun moves into Gemini on May 20. Next month you will see your social life ratchet up even more. Your sexiest, sweetest days this month will come over the May 10-11 weekend and May 24-25.

Remember:

Take your first steps to quit a bad habit: May 5-9

Finish up a work project: May 19-21

Your career and fortunes surge forward: May 12, 21.

Travel short distances: all month, but especially May 10-11 and over May 24-25

Previous Month's Forecast

Clip of Susan Miller on You Tube!

It's my first real "You Tube" appearance!

Later see the whole TV interview to be aired

in the New York City metro area; details below.

The show I was interviewed for is called "New York 360" - an entertainment show covering music, fashion, film, theatre, TV, publishing and lots of other things. It runs on Channel 25 on Time Warner Cable, and aired in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island and parts of Pennsylvania.

Amy Palmer, host and producer, asked to interview me, and when we sat down together, Amy asked me a number of unique questions about my work with astrology and my website, Astrology Zone.

It is a cute piece so I am looking forward to seeing the whole half-hour show. (Usually I am afraid to watch the shows I am interviewed for, but Amy is different! I liked her questions a lot!)

The show will be aired on TV on Tuesday, May 13 at 10:30 PM.

The piece will be re-broadcast on Thursday, May 15 at 8:30 PM. It was taped about a month ago. I am setting my TIVO!

Watch The Movie Preview Awards

Watch the "Movie Preview Awards" on TV May 26

To air on Memorial Day, May 26 at 8:00 PM on MYNetworkTV Channel (formerly UPN Network)

What is the Movie Preview Awards? It's a Hollywood awards show for the very best movie previews (also called trailers) of the year, in various categories, such as Best Comedy, Best Thriller, Best Documentary and so forth. The organizers have a great sense of humor, and they have other categories like, "Trashiest Trailer" (you can imagine what that would be) and the "Golden Fleece Award" for the trailer that shows so much of the movie, you no longer actually have to leave the house to see it. We all know about THOSE!

You can now watch the Movie Preview Awards on MYNetworkTV. (This network used to be UPN and before that, WPIX (in New York City. It is a regular network, not a cable network.) The show will air on Memorial Day, on Monday, May 26 at 8:00 PM. Check www.MyNetworkTV.com for local listings.

I love the entertaining style of this event - talented comics hand out the awards, and often their quips are hilarious. I have actually been attending this show in person every year for the past eight years because I love to go to the movies, and I love this particular award show. Until a few years ago, this has been a kind of insider event where friends would have to tell you about it via their Blackberries and help you get a ticket to get inside the velvet rope. Now, I am happy to say, the rest of the world is beating a path to their door and actually opening up this event to the global village via television for the first time. For now, it will only be aired in America, but give it time - it may be coming to your corner of the world soon.

The show Movie Preview Awards, also called the Golden Trailer Awards, is a show run by two great young women who happen to be sisters, Evelyn and Monica Brady. They are both passionate about film, and this, their baby, is now growing up and getting lots of deserved attention. As an aside, I found out Monica and Evie have been avid readers of Astrology Zone® for 12 years! We love that!

Do set your DVD to this show on Memorial Day at 8:00 PM on MyNetworkTV. You'll see if your favorites win, and you'll laugh a lot, too. I can't think of a better way to start the summer season!
