Overview
Step into your more confident self, thanks to the exalted Sun. You’ll find yourself feeling more driven and clear-headed—but with Mars debilitated, don’t rush into anything, especially if there’s tension at home. Make sure you pause before reacting. Jupiter moves into Gemini on May 14th, and things could start to feel a lot busier. You might plan a trip to a religious spot with friends or find yourself more drawn to creative or design work. Let that inspiration flow.
However, with Saturn near Rahu, work matters could feel a bit edgy, so try not to get pulled into arguments. Patience really will pay off now, and if you’re starting something new, it’s worth getting a second opinion first. Someone in a powerful position might step in with support or recognition from May 15th, as the Sun moves into Taurus. That’s a win—but don’t let your guard down. Also, there’s a chance of unexpected disputes or legal issues popping up, so stay sharp.
Career
You will have to work hard and be clear-headed this month. Saturn with Rahu can create confusion or illusions, especially in business dealings and projects. Your intelligence, skills and planning abilities will lead you to new contacts, but try to not let any deal slip out of your hands.
Foreign opportunities might begin to arise as your success grows. However, if you're looking to switch jobs, Ketu’s placement suggests it’s not a favorable time. Avoid office politics in your workplace.
You’ll do well in meetings, sales pitches, negotiations, and presentations and these are likely to lead to new assignments or projects.

Money & Finance
With Jupiter transiting in the wealth house until May 14th, you might find it easier to save, but you’ll still need to be cautious. Saturn with Rahu presents potential obstacles and a rise in expenses, so it’s a smart idea to prudently plan your finances.
The Sun will support gains from stocks and investments until May 15th. If you're thinking of investing in land or dealing with inheritance matters, seek wise guidance and be cautious.
Venus exalted with Rahu urges you to control your expenditures and align them with your long-term goals. You and your partner will likely manage your budget wisely together and curtail unnecessary expenses in order to maintain financial stability. Still, be mindful—house renovations and car repairs could increase spending this month.

Love & Marriage
Venus and Rahu will intensify emotions and your romantic energy, while Saturn will encourage you to explore deeper emotional connections. This powerful energy has the potential to transform both your new and existing relationships. This is a favourable time to reflect on past relationships, resolve any unresolved emotional issues, and understand your partner's feelings and desires better.
It's important to communicate effectively with your partner to strengthen trust and intimacy. Allow your relationship to develop naturally and avoid rushing decisions. If your partner behaves in a way that triggers your ego, make sure you stay grounded and don’t react.

Students & Children
Confidence is good, but overconfidence can be detrimental. If you’re joining a new school or college, it may take a little time to adjust socially. If you’re thinking about starting research, debilitated Mars’ position may reduce your enthusiasm. Also, distractions from social events or travel can affect your focus.
Astrologers suggest waking up early to study. Go for a short walk in a park or open space before studying, and wear comfortable clothes while studying to stay relaxed.
Family & Health
This month brings fun times with your family, especially when celebrating occasions or going on outings. Make sure take extra care of your relationship with your mother. Health-wise, walking, yoga, and meditation should be part of your routine. Eat healthily and stay hydrated, especially since the heat could affect you. Also, don’t drive when upset or angry, and avoid conflicts. Venus and Rahu together may impair your judgment, so best to stay calm and grounded.
