Horoscope for May 2015 for Moon sign Aries

For Aries rashi individuals, this will be an average month but better than the month of April. Sun transits through 1st and 2nd house this has an effect on your speech and family. Saturn is going through the eighth house transit – Ashtama Shani and that causes a problem with support from others. Mars moves through your manglik 2nd house and hence domestic environment will be a tough one. Jupiter’s transit is adverse, but helps with family and dear ones. It will help assuage the issues that you may have with your family.

During the first half of the month, focus is on your own need and there is a tendency to overlook the relationship with family, coworkers and other relatives. This would not be desirable and they will start believing that you are neglecting them. The important thing to do is to manage this tendency in a positive manner by being kind to others. New friendships made in this period should be cherished.

The first half of the May 2015 is better than the second half for the Gemini borns. In general, the month of May will be better than April and should be looked forward to. Mercury, the Lord of Gemini rashi quickly came out of debilitation. However, during this month, firstly it is being aspected by Saturn and also by Mars, Gemini rashi borns are going to be distant, aloof and little aggressive in dealing with others this month. Mars is also going through a manglik house transit for Gemini borns, denoting lack of pleasures through the month.

This is overall a good month for Cancer rashi borns, but with fair share of obstacles and distractions. It may be difficult to maintain focus during the month – either due to unnecessary delays on part of others, or you yourself may want to take a break and indulge in some luxuries.

Sun is going through 10th & 11th house transit, which will be helpful. Mercury and Mars are both going through favourable 11th house transit, but both of them have vedha in form of Venus and Saturn respectively. Hence the overall transit results will be muted.

There are gain indicated through coworkers and friends. Cooperation is indicated. Birth of children is usually indicated, but you may be too overworked to enjoy it.

Horoscope for May 2015 for Moon sign Leo

The month of May will put a lot of focus on work – whether it is your job or business, and will create some imbalance with respect to work and life. It is overall an adverse month with pockets of support from few quarters. This is a month of grind and Leo rashi borns should be ready for the same. Jupiter’s transit indicates constant separation from family and Saturn’s transit is inauspicious – ardha-ashtama, which indicates emotional problems to Leo rashi borns. Not only is Saturn in the fourth house, but it is also affecting your complete self from here, which will continue to cause confusion and delay.

The first half of the month indicates sickness to father, continuing from previous month. This could also indicate that there is some underlying tension with father, which will come to fore.

During the first half of the month, alignment with superiors is required. It will not come naturally to you and there will be many obstacles, but you need to work hard at it. Do not get into ethical problems at work – keep away from easy money where you may be pushing the limits. You are very anxious about your growth. You need to get better at marketing yourself and yet not be irresponsible about it.

Horoscope for May 2015 for Moon sign Virgo

Kanya rashi borns are supported by good transits of bigger planets at the same time – Jupiter and Saturn. During this month, Jupiter is out of retrogression and hence the results will be back to normal and will give lot of support to Virgo rashi borns. Saturn is in retrogression and there will be delays in fruition of good results to this transit. The lord of Virgo, Mercury, is conjunct with Mars and is being aspected by Saturn. This will cause Virgo borns to be both indecisive as well as aggressive during this month.

During the first half, arguments with spouse/partner and their parents will cause tiffs. Difference opinion will exist with the in-laws side. Disagreement is also indicated with father and other elders in the family. Something that you do and/or say may cause disapproval from father.

Long distance journey will prove to be lucky. This is a good period for negotiating and communicating with foreigners. Business transactions with foreigners will remain to be productive.

Health wise, this month will indicate fatigue, loss of physical strength and make you tired quickly. Kanya rashi borns will be more prone to sun stroke than others. Skin diseases are also indicated.

Finances in partnerships could cause stress. Getting your business financed will be a big effort. Convincing banks and alike to give you loans could be an uphill task.

Differences with offers of law and authorities could result in legal difficulties.

Students will continue to have a good period, but with increased stress. Trick would be to rely on what has been learnt before.

Horoscope for May 2015 for Moon sign Libra

It will be an average month for Libra rashi borns. Sun would be in 7th house and in a strong position to cause problems with spouse/partners. Mercury’s gochara in Taurus is good, but Saturn’s presence cause Vedha for this transit. Jupiter’s transit is unfavourable, but will not cause a lot of problems. Saturn is in Scorpio and this means that the last leg of Sadhe sati is going on for Libra rashi borns. Last five and a half years of slow heat of Sadhe sati has baked Libra rashi borns and they have realized that being spiritual is the key. This should also be treated as a preparation time for next beneficial Saturn transit, when Saturn moves to Sagittarius and the corresponding third house transit.

During the first half, domestic life will be in focus. Arguments and strife between partners will come out. Avoid being dominating during this period. Calmness of mind will solve bigger problems for you. If you plan well, entertainment and parties could be on the offing during this month of May 2015.

On the money front, be careful with partners and general loss of face with them. This is the time to not attract attention at work. Maintain a low profile. Do not take chances and stick to the norm. This advice is also very applicable to the students. They will work well with what has been learnt in the past. Picking up of new ideas/subjects will not be very helpful at this time. Discipline and hard work is the only path to success.

Saturn’s transit through your janma rashi brings about the second of the three part Sadhe sati for you. Jupiter’s transit is a favourable one, which will carry you through this cycle. Mars is going through the 7th house transit, which makes it occupy the manglik house. This will cause problems and worries in the marriage.

During this month, you will be able to work well with the people you employ and the people who are in the team. This period also indicates creativity as well as conception of a child. You need to spend time with the spouse/partner. A lot of problems occur because the transit makes persons become dominating in the relationships. Keep away from this tendency and adapt a habit of transparent communication. Romance is in the air, but you should not even think about cheating on your partner. Maintaining relationships requires quite a bit of energy, but there is no easy way out.

Accidents, theft are indicated during travel. Foreign travels, alone, separated by the family is indicated.

The month will be good as far as physical health is concerned. Eye problems and skin infections could crop up. The main problem is with the constant fatigue and lack of energy – this is due to Sadhe Sati – and you need to pump yourself up.
