WRITTEN IN THE STARS Renowned astrologer Kathy Biehl shares her forecast for the months ahead. If there's one thing 2024 has taught you, it's that little is as certain as you'd thought. Including you. May finds you shaking up your style. Radically, even. New look, new identity, new you—any and all spur profound changes unfolding in your career and public life. (Moving up? On? Out?) Meanwhile, Jupiter is bringing tangible good fortune and growth to your money house for a year, starting May 25. Diversify: your talents, income streams, collaborators. Writing could pay off, too. It's time to move some important items off your "maybe someday" list and make them happen, now. Practicality, finances, and sensory experience factor into them, whether you're inspired to monetize your expertise, launch a podcast, go back to school, or travel abroad. (A culinary tour, maybe?) Broader horizons open when Jupiter brings his golden touch to your career sector on May 25. Think you've been busy? Just wait. Fortunately, you'll be looking good while juggling all those balls. Inspiration and creativity are flowing, seeding innovations in self-expression and dealings with children. (Want one? The skies are cooperating.) Once Jupiter enters your house of daily routine on May 25, life flies into a whirlwind of multitasking, multiple personalities, and running around. Take care, though: side effects include unconscious overeating. Your natural bent for staying on task will quickly lead to new schemes to manage your schedule; just leave room for fun. And ask for more money or clout. Much as it goes against your grain, quiet time is becoming essential. Worldly obligations aren't going away, and your mind has been more of a perpetual motion machine than usual, even in your sleep. Meditation, yoga classes and occasional spa days do you good. You feel like yourself again by May 25, when Jupiter enters your sign for the first time in 12 years and invites all your personalities to come out to play. Dress them up and show them off. The skies have been short-circuiting your bent for putting other people first, and different patterns are taking hold. Investments of all kinds (including time, effort, emotions) are rearranging to reflect your values, worth, and entitlement to a solid return. You're experiencing— implementing, even—a new allocation of power in relationships. Daily obligations may weigh you down, but you're glimpsing brighter horizons, especially after May 25, when Jupiter begins pumping up optimism and a willingness to learn and travel. Lately the world's been seeing more and more of your unique self. Support and reflect that by mixing things up in your home base. Splurge on comfier seating, repaint walls, switch out pillows, install an indoor gardening system – what's important is how the tweaks make you feel. Then go out and play. Jupiter upends your house of creativity, fun, and romance on May 25, delivering writing prompts and companions galore. One of whom might prove to be something…more. Sure, career's demanding, but you're leveling up, and implementing empowering changes that reflect what matters most to you. Simplify investments, both financial and emotional. You're freeing up your resources for a new, potentially lucrative organizational role, not to mention the long-held dream that's coming into focus. With your thoughts running nonstop, unwinding may be a challenge. Fortunately, the cosmos is turning on a night light with a year-long glow when Jupiter enters your house of retreat on May 25. Energy is coursing through you as if from a cosmic IV drip. Blaze through your to-do list without overthinking (or any thinking), and channel some of the buzz into physical exercise, too. A supportive phase is blossoming in your closest relationships, cushioning monumental changes unfolding in your home. With Jupiter emphasizing joint resources starting May 25, explore options without restraint. Rethink who's paying for what. Diversify investments. Brainstorm business ventures. And look into tax planning, insurance, and a will. Your natural magic is taking on maturity, expertise, and quiet authority, thanks to stabilizing Saturn in your house of identity. Unleash your creativity in short-form writing, your neighborhood, and your socials. Following your inspiration perks up your posts and might land you influencer status, and maybe cash, too. Change your media diet; try out different platforms; upgrade your car while you're at it. Jupiter moves into your home and family sector on May 25, whipping up talk, activity, and visitors. The career spotlight is just where you like it: on you. Recent career shakeups have positioned you for greater visibility and compensation. Satisfy your travel bug in May; you're able to push your own message (and pursue adventure) wherever you are. Expansive Jupiter moves into your friend zone on May 25 for a year of juggling group activities and benefiting from well- connected peeps. Your magnetism hits new levels in June, elevating you at work and affecting (luring?) a special someone. After a spring like this year's, you're game to switch up your daily routine. Say yes to new job duties and fitness regimens. Join a gym; try new diets and classes (sound healing?); upgrade your fitness app or tracker. Whatever you launch now has staying potential. Starting May 25, expansive Jupiter begins a full-year tour of your partnership sector, bringing good fortune to relationships and your partner as well. Speaking your truth is part of the package; don't hold back. You're your biggest promoter right now. No telling what might catch fire, with the skies lining up to take you far. Your risk tolerance is paying off; a new-for-you and improved showcase for your talents is emerging. Inspiration for that may come in a dream (for real); follow it, and up your prices, please. And spread the word. Bountiful Jupiter is pumping up your communication sector starting May 25, unleashing a flurry of conversations, meetings, social media blitzes, multitasking, and day trips.
