May is a month where we see the unfolding reality that was revealed over April. The chaos of April subsides and May is relatively calm, compared to the past month. Jupiter has moved into Taurus and now is free from the restrictions and tension of Saturn and Rahu. This is a positive transit especially for Sagittarius and Pisces who are ruled by Jupiter. Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus and Scorpio will enjoy the full blessings of Jupiter for the next 12 months. Be open to the new opportunities making their way towards oyou.
Venus and Jupiter will both be combust – Venus for 66 days in total – April 25 – June 29, Jupiter from May 7 – June 6.
Since both are gurus, it means that knowledge, wisdom and guidance is somewhat blocked and it is advised to avoid marriage or other important financial decisions during the combustion. Taurus, Libra moon and ascendant are affected by Venus, Jupiter and Pisces are impacted by Jupiter. They can feel a loss of direction, self esteem, or low energy/vitality, and a questioning of certain relationships in their life.
Essentially, combustion represents the karmic, spiritual need for purification, whenever the sun is present, as Sun represents the pure spiritual fire of transformation and dissolution of the personal ‘I’ to the Divine Self.
We also have the difficult Mars/Rahu conjunction in Pisces – 24 April – 1 June, which adds an overall volatile, heated, ambitious and aggressive energy which will intensify especially around the Full (debilitated moon) in Scorpio on the 23rd. The world needs to take care especially on the 20th – 24th.

Good time to cut the losses and move on.
