Your May 2024 Horoscope for Libra
by Susan MillerAs May begins, you have an enormous emphasis on money because a bevy of planets have migrated into Taurus and into your eighth house of other people’s money. You seem bent on managing the money you have more effectively, and there are a variety of reasons this might be happening. You may get a large inheritance, or a court case involving a large sum might be settled in your favor. You may get a large gift of cash or jewelry or even win first prize in a charity raffle.
There are other possibilities. You might get a large commission, royalty, book advance, generous insurance payout, or a partial payment related to a one-time fee for an impending job you will do. If you have been petitioning venture capitalists, an influx of money could now come in, or if you wanted to be approved for a large mortgage, that could be approved. If you need to renegotiate your mortgage or do a second mortgage, this would be the month to do so.
The eighth house rules income and outgo, so you may be paying taxes or figuring out how to best pay off a loan. You may be in the process of an expensive renovation, buying or selling property, or starting a business. If you already have a business, maybe you are working out the terms of a merger, or you may be spending to create a new product you want to bring to the market. On the other hand, you may be considering purchasing valuable art or studying your financial portfolio with your advisor to find ways to increase its performance. If you are newly married, you may be busy making a legal change to your new name on your credit card.
You will begin to see the emphasis on money beginning May 7 at the new moon in Taurus, 18 degrees. The planets squeezed into your eighth house of other people’s money will be this new moon (opportunity), Sun (strength and favor from VIPs), Jupiter (luck and happiness), Uranus (surprise), and your ruling planet Venus (luxury, beauty, popularity, and love). The fact that your ruler is included in the group tells me you will be very focused on money.
