Midlife Transits

May provides a strange mix of the emotional and the unemotional in terms of influences for Cancerians. This is especially noticeable toward the end of the month when the sun is in non-emotional Gemini and your solar 12th house of the subconscious mind. This energy happens to blend with a big huge glob of energy in your mysterious solar 8th house of deep emotions. In this 8th house will be Jupiter, a planet that often represents joy. So it’s like you can unemotionally analyze some source of deep joy in your life. Kinda strange, but kinda wonderful.

And there are more mysterious dualities afoot. The full moon on the 9th is in Scorpio in your solar 5th house of strangely enough joy. But a full moon in Scorpio often represents sorrow. So are you scheduled to be sorrowfully joyful? Some sweet sorrow, as Shakespeare would say, as you take temporary leave of a lover? Could well be.

I’m hesitant to predict. But it all seems kind of deep and bittersweet and yet detached, as though you have a rare chance to observe yourself feeling your way through life. Unusual month and the unusual vibes continue at least until your birthday, so don’t be too worried if you seem to be living in a dream world for awhile.
