Health Monthly for Month Commencing: Wednesday 01 May 2024

	Aries	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Mar 21 - Apr 19
As the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment moves into her first full month back in direct motion in your health sector, you will be finding the confidence and desire to get back to the resolutions that you moved into the New Year with. It is the month that Juno has spent in retrograde motion that has allowed you to review and revise those resolutions, to a point where they are now likely to be more streamlined but also more appropriate. Helping to get the month off to a good start will be Venus, the planet of beauty’s friendly aspect to Juno on 4th/5th May. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return from 16th May to 18th May will be a valuable chance to check in and especially with what your body is telling you.

	Taurus	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Apr 20 - May 20
While the lunar nodes will continue to monitor a need for balance and especially when it comes to a balance between doing enough and doing too much, the stars this month are a lot more favourable. The last few months have not only seen a parade of planets cross the lunar nodes but all in opposition to the South Node in your health sector, something that may have put your physical resources to the test. As you move into your new solar year a lot of that pressure is easing back, but with it, everything needed to set realistic resolutions for the coming year. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return from 18th May to 21st May will be a valuable chance to check in and especially with what your body is telling you.

	Gemini	Wednesday 01 May 2024	May 21 - Jun 21
In the closing weeks of your old solar year, you are going to have less wind in your sails and gas in your tank, something that a Full Moon late last month may have put to the test. This is especially so this year, for as well as coming to the end of this current solar year, as you are also in the final weeks of a 12 year Jupiter cycle. That will start to change when the Sun returns to Gemini on 21st May but will accelerate rapidly when just six days later Jupiter returns to begin a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion. It is during the early days of your birthday month that the Moon will move through your health sector, giving you a read on what your body is telling you from 21st May to 23rd May.

	Cancer	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Jun 22 - Jul 22
With no planetary activity in your health sector, it is the Moon’s monthly visits that have become key to checking in and staying on track. However, the timing makes this month’s visit more than just a chance to get an intuitive read on what your body is telling you. The Moon will move through from 23rd May to 26th May and had this happened just a few days earlier it would have been an ordinary monthly visit. Instead, the Sun’s return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 21st May to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year means that they will clash to create a Full Moon. At a time of year when you will often have less wind in your sails and gas in your tank, this can put your physical resources to the test.

	Leo	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Jul 23 - Aug 22
The dwarf planet Ceres returned to your health sector in February to begin her first deep dive into your health needs and priorities in four years, something that will normally keep her here for three months. This means that Ceres should be leaving this month but instead, a retrograde turn on 15th May will keep her here until December, making this something that will continue through the majority of the year. By turning retrograde this will bring a chance to focus more on what you can learn or appreciate by looking back, making this a chance to review the needs and priorities you have already identified. The Moon has just left your health sector as you move into the new month, with a chance to check in again when it returns from 26th May to 28th May.

	Virgo	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Aug 23 - Sep 22
As you move into the new month the Moon has just returned to your health sector and not leaving until 3rd May, this will be a chance to start the month aware and in tune with what your body is telling you. However, the timing couldn’t be better, with the Moon here during Pluto’s final days in direct motion and until just after the planet of change and transformation turns retrograde on 3rd May. Pluto has had to come to a standstill, with the Moon giving you a better sense of where you need to pause and hold back before moving into review mode. The Moon will come full circle from 28th May to 30th May, by which time you will be familiar with the impact of Pluto’s retrograde phase and the support this will have gained.

	Libra	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Sep 23 - Oct 23
As you move into the new month Mars has just left your health sector, with his six week push to become more active or just more proactive in taking your power back on the health front ending but the real journey just getting started. With Saturn and Neptune, one the hard taskmaster of the cosmos and the other the planet of dreams remaining in your health sector all year, you have the discipline and the motivation to continue what Mars began. It helps that the Moon will make two visits this month, with a chance to check in from 3rd May to 5th May and again when it returns on 30th May, where it will end the month.

	Scorpio	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Oct 24 - Nov 21
By the time you move into the new month the Sun and Venus have already moved through your health sector. With the Sun having put the solar spotlight on your health needs, situation and matters and Venus having fuelled a desire to look and feel good, this leaves you motivated and with an authentic starting point. Mercury will stay on until 16th May, continuing his focus on information and knowledge gathering. However, it is just as you move into the new month that Mars is returning for his first visit in two years, something that will give you the energy and drive to get moving. You will get a better read on this and on what your body is telling you when the Moon moves through from 5th May to 7th May.

	Sagittarius	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Nov 22 - Dec 21
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of May in your health sector, the solar spotlight is always on your health needs, situation and matters and will be until he leaves on 21st May. However, the Sun is not on his own, with Venus fuelling a desire to look and feel good until leaving on 24th May and Jupiter ending a 12 month quest to see you take your power back on 26th May. However, this is not the end of the story, with Mercury’s return on 16th May a chance to get your head in the game and become more informed ahead of Mars’ return next month. You will get a better read on this and on what your body is telling you when the Moon moves through from 7th May to 9th May.

	Capricorn	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Dec 22 - Jan 19
With no planetary activity in your health sector since June 2023, it has been the Moon’s monthly visits that have been key to keeping you on track and up to date with what your body is telling you and with its needs. That will be the case when the Moon moves through from 9th May to 11th May, though with a strong sense of change in the air by then. It is 10 days later that the Sun’s return on 21st May will turn the solar spotlight onto your health needs, situation and matters, as it does at this time each year. This will be followed by Venus, the planet of beauty’s return on 24th May, something that will be fuelling a desire to look and feel good by the time Jupiter returns on 26th May with a chance to take your power back.

	Aquarius	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Jan 20 - Feb 18
With no planetary activity in your health sector, the Moon’s monthly visits have become not just an important but the only chance to check in and especially with what your body is telling you. While the Sun will return next month, for now it is just the Moon and that makes its visit from 11th May to 13th May the most important days of the month for paying attention. This will see the Moon return over the weekend, something that away from the noise of the working week will not only make it easier to listen to what your body is telling you but to put what it is telling you into action. This is something that will also put how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test.

	Pisces	Wednesday 01 May 2024	Feb 19 - Mar 20
If you feel lethargic or you don’t have too much get up and go or enthusiasm as you move into the new month, you can blame the Moon and Pluto for that. This is something that will pass, but with the Moon not only moving through a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart from 1st May to 3rd May but during Pluto’s final days in direct motion here, this might take the wind out of your sails. This is going to place some speedbumps at the start of the month to slow you down but is ultimately something that you will benefit from. Once the Moon returns to Pisces on 3rd May those speedbumps will be removed. Meanwhile, you will get a better read on what your body is telling you when the Moon returns to your health sector from 13th May to 16th May.
