Monthly Astrological Forecast May 2018

ARIES

Mercury entering Taurus on the 13th will endow you with some very brilliant almost off -the-wall ideas on how to increase your income and savings. A big investment tip out of the blue from an extremely unlikely source could wind up generating sizeable profits for you.

He will take you on what may appear to be a wild roller coaster ride to achieve it, or even just holding on to what you have.

But being the Bad Boy, he is, he may induce you to blow all your gains on worthless objects or fun times.
