This month’s sun sign

taurus
april 21 - may 20

May brings mixed blessings for Taureans and you will need to call on your native flair and diplomacy in order to handle all the challenges that could arise. On the one hand, your ability to see what a business is truly capable of, and being able to enlist support for your goals and visions, has rarely been more powerful. But on the other hand, you may find that your progress is hindered by unsettling reminders of unfinished business from past ventures. Indeed, you will be aware of this curious paradox right from the beginning of the month. So, if there is one lesson to be learned from the events that now unfold, it is that you cannot move into your future until you have dealt with your past.

GEMINI
may 21 - june 21
Venus in your sign highlights the sector of your activities that is most concerned with sales and marketing this month. Your ability to convert others to your cause has rarely been equalled, so be sure to make the most of all opportunities that arise.

CANCER
JUNE 22 - JULY 23
You pride yourself on your ability to go it alone in business, but you also need to recognise that there are times when you need to call on others for help and support. Enlist the help of your friends in high places, especially during the first few days of May.

LEO
JULY 24 - AUGUST 23
Recent events can have left you in little doubt that, in certain aspects of your business life at least, it has become increasingly difficult to reconcile your own goals with those of your business partners. Matters could reach a head on or around May 2. Be prepared.

virgo
AUGUST 24 - september 23
This month, you need to take care not to get so bogged down with the fine details of your business activities that you lose sight of the bigger picture. The new moon on the 16th could bring exciting new opportunities your way, so be sure not to miss out.

libra
september 24 - october 23
Your solar chart indicates that joint and partnership finances – both personal and professional – need to be your major business focus this month. Take the opportunity to review your current commitments and seek expert advice on restructuring if need be.

scorpio
october 24 - november 21
May looks set to be an exceptionally busy time, so be prepared. The full moon on May 2 signals the beginning of a hectic cycle of events that will make you rethink your present working style. Progress, not perfection, should be your motto from now on.

sagittarius
november 22 -december 20
With your ruling planet Jupiter making stu-nning aspects at present, you are becoming aware that you are being given a second chance to succeed in certain areas of business. New investment opportunities could come your way on or around May 16.

CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 21 - JANUARY 20
You are aware of the importance of how a business should be presented to the public, but colleagues and associates may not quite see eye to eye with you this month. Be prepared to stand your ground and argue your case, especially on or around May 2.

aquarius
january 21 - february 19
You are approaching the whole area of business start-ups with renewed vigour this month and will be complimented for being so proactive. But do make sure that you see all the new agreements all the way through to conclusion, especially in the first week of May.

pisces
february 20 - MARCH 20
With Uranus, the planet of change, now aspecting your sign, you are feeling increasingly impatient with situations and people that you believe are holding you back. But don’t make any hasty decisions in the first week of May, or you could live to regret it.

aries
march 21 - april 20
The transiting sun highlights your need to pay greater attention to cash flow this month, along with the need for heightened awareness of what is happening behind the scenes. You will be particularly aware of this from May 1-4.
