In the first full week of the month, May 4th and 5th are ideal for emotionally grounding yourself in your strategy and forming a plan. The week of the 11th, your luckiest day arrives on Tuesday, the 12th. Expect to feel motivated to start a new adventure with friends, as it's a Fire Dog Initiate Day.
The week of the 18th, prosperity comes in the form of opportunity, rather than money alone. You get a green light in a relationship on the 19th. The peak of success arrives on the 27th, with an ability to be emotionally detached from the outcome.
1. Horse

You are done playing small or letting situations and people get in the way of your best life. You've been ever so patient, but now it's time to let go of old patterns of thinking. Your first opportunity to release yourself from promises you made to others. They worked in April, but going forward, it no longer makes sense for the life you're trying to live. There are expenses and time involved. You want to be wise with your resources, especially your emotional energy.
Your first day to approach these challenges is on the 8th, a Water Horse Remove Day. This day favors emotional and intuitive nudges over intellectual or forceful ones. Since this is your day, you're primed for freedom. What you do matters today, and it's good to delegate tasks and let people know you can no longer do whatever's expected.
The next fortunate day for you lands on the 20th, a Wood Horse Remove Day. Again, you have a chance to let go of what's not working. Since Wood represents new beginnings, you're not just releasing yourself from emotional constraints.

The first day of the month is a foreshadowing of things to come. Since May 1 is on a Full Moon Danger day in your sign, with Wood energy, remember losses are meant for your highest good. Whatever happens, see it as your life taking on a new direction. The universe steps in and makes decisions for you, especially if you felt confused about which one you ought to take. Danger energy means caution, so as long as you're not acting out or taking risks, you'll be fine.
Near the end of the month, on the 25th, you have your second Danger Day, only this time it comes with the energy of earth. Earth energy is about learning how strong you are. You are going to rapidly grow through some life lessons and gain maturity at a high level. When you're mature, you spot your lucky opportunities much easier, and you also find it possible to generate the prosperity you need. In May, you'll find that your gains arrive in the form of confidence.
3. Rat

Prosperity comes to you in the form of a positive mindset. The start of the month is is favorable to you, Rat, as you being with success falling on your lap. You are not one to become complacent just because life was easy. Instead, you'll want to take action and move swiftly.
You want to take a break from whatever you are planning at the start of the month on the 14th. With Earth Rat Danger energy use this as a time for rest and relaxation. You will get ideas and figure out what makes you happy, and see that you don't always have to work for your luck.
