Moon Sign Based Horoscope for May 2016

By Kshitij Sharma, April 22, 2016

The monthly horoscope for May 2016 is presented for you based on the moon sign, i.e. janma rashi in your horoscope, based on the Vedic niryana system. Please do not substitute your Sun sign or a western astrology moon sign here. If you do not know your janma rashi, please refer to the kundali application on this page. 8th house presence for Chandra is called Chandrashtama and is a period of grave caution. These dates are indicated. The dates for caution on financial matter are also indicated. People with a particular janma rashi should avoid dealing in financial matters on these dates, e.g. investment of property, stock market, giving and taking loans should be avoided.

The planetary positions for the month of May 2016 are as follows.

Sun

  • Sun is in Aries till 15th of May. It then moves to Taurus, which is an enemy sign for Sun.
  • Sun will be under 9th aspect of Jupiter and 9th aspect of Rahu, while in Aries.
  • Sun will be conjunct with Mercury in Aries.
  • In Taurus, Sun will be opposite Saturn and once Venus moves to Taurus, Sun will be conjunct Venus.

Mars

  • Mars moves to Swakshetra of Scorpio in late February and will be in that sign throughout this month too.
  • Mars and Saturn will be in Scorpio together for a long time in 2016. Mars will come under 7th house aspect of Venus & vice versa.
  • Mars is retrograde throughout May.

Mercury

  • Mercury will be retrograde in Aries for the whole month.
  • Jupiter and Rahu will be aspecting Mercury while in Aries.
  • Sun will be conjunct Mercury till 15th of May.
  • Venus will be conjunct Mercury till 20th May.

Jupiter

  • Jupiter is in Leo through the month but is in direct motion.
  • Jupiter and Rahu are no longer closely conjunct.
  • Saturn has pretty close aspect on Jupiter and Rahu both.

Venus

  • Venus is in Aries till May 20th, when it moves to swakshetra Taurus.
  • Sun and Venus are conjunct both in Aries and in Taurus, when Venus catches up to Sun.
  • Mars and Saturn will be opposite Venus when Venus moves to Taurus.

Saturn

  • Saturn is losing speed and will turn retrograde on March 25th.
  • Saturn is under affect of Mars and later on Saturn and Venus.

Interesting retrogression observation: 4 planets – Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Mercury will be retrograde and hence have cheshtabal during the month. Both Saturn and Mars together in the same mysterious sign of Scorpio, with retrogression means that some underhand deals are going on in the world of mundane astrology, which we will come to know soon. This also can mean increase in aggression. This combination is affecting the judicious planet of Jupiter and hence the good judgement of people will go down. Mercury retrograde affects logic and straight thinking. Difficult times ahead.

If you feel that things have not changed a lot from past month and you are stuck in one place, please note that only Sun and Venus change their signs. Other planets since gone into retrogression are in the same sign. This month’s predictions will have the ring of the past. Do not get confused.
