May Horoscopes
STAR OF THE MONTH
TAURUS
21 APRIL – 20 MAY
Taureans are known for being efficient and reliable. On top of this, you plan wisely and save, although sometimes it all seems too much effort for too little gain. But you'll soon breathe a sigh of relief as life's frustrations start to ease. In the past, you've been far too accepting of any overwhelming workload; and therefore have missed out on too many of life's pleasures. But, if it's more play you're after, there's good news. Here's a year when Uranus encourages romance while Mars offers self-indulgence. Or perhaps it's time for pampering and romance. You choose.
GEMINI
21 MAY – 21 JUNE
Long-term goals come closer to reality as Jupiter nudges forward in your sector of hopes and wishes. You just need to introduce focus. Use May to draw up a list of items you want to achieve. Follow up with a minimum of three plans of action, and you should see results within a few months. Geminis are the alchemists of the zodiac, after all. So why not apply this magic to your love life as well? Conjure up some romance.
CANCER
22 JUNE – 22 JULY
Ambitious Jupiter encourages serious breakthroughs at work. Though right now you might still be feeling a tad overworked and underpaid, sometime this month, recognition and rewards will follow. Business travel is likely, as is an increased cash flow. The biggest threat, however, seems to be extravagance. As more cash arrives, there seems to be little chance of it accruing interest.
LEO
23 JULY – 22 AUGUST
With delightful Jupiter settling in your sector of adventure for the next year - you're encouraged to expand your horizons. You've always been curious about the world, but even more so now. From here on, there's too much happening to keep you still. Even unexpected turns of events won't faze you. For many, love and work become entwined. And by year's end, you're well and truly heading towards serious commitment.
VIRGO
23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER
Last month's uncertainty and chaos continue thanks to Virgo's nemesis, a meddling Mars - so steer clear of launching new projects. On the plus side, the first few weeks are an ideal time to reassess plans that didn't work out the first time. Fine-tune your CV, or add bells and whistles to the proposal you thought you had finished. You can always improve upon that initial flash of genius.
LIBRA
23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER
You're encouraged to act on a career plan previously left on hold. Expect a hectic social scene with unexpected invitations over the next few weeks. To top off a delightful month, intimate relationships find a comfortable level of understanding. For singles, too, the prospect of finding long-term commitment runs high. Through May, whether in work, love or play - all things seem possible.
SCORPIO
23 OCTOBER – 21 NOVEMBER
May is about love and maintaining important connections. Feisty Mars has settled in your love sector, and the Sun sends sparks through your relationships. Romance, too. If you're single, this is the time to get out there and make the first move. You'll be attracting attention for all the right reasons. Likewise, couples should clear time for carnal delights. Why can't every month be like this?
SAGITTARIUS
22 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER
The Sun fires up your fitness sector, encouraging you to revisit the health regime you promised to start in early summer. If you failed the first time, try again. Even better news: a loving Venus stirs up romantic relationships. If single, you may not be for long. Even just a casual fling could help satiate desires. For coupled Sagittarians, passionate Venus does her best to reignite cooling embers.
CAPRICORN
22 DECEMBER – 19 JANUARY
An unsettled cosmos brings the full spectrum of emotions and perhaps some conflict. But you're not entirely innocent in all this. You can't treat love as a battleground and not expect warfare. Take care that the past doesn't spill into present battles. Others have been waiting patiently for your commitment, so make your mind up before they move on without you. If it's peace you're after, wave the white flag.
AQUARIUS
20 JANUARY - 18 FEBRUARY
Pluto continues to teach you life-changing lessons on how to use or lose your personal power. You can be generous to a fault but with a tendency to give all your energy away - only to be left feeling depleted. Recently you've started to see how this undermines your energy. It's one thing to give but another to know when to hold something back. This is a valuable lesson. May is your time to receive, Aquarius.
PISCES
19 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH
Jupiter brings blessings wherever it settles, and for the next year, it's finances and your hopes and dreams that soar. Whether it's to fulfil a long-held ambition or start your own business - success beckons. You're drawn to new out-of-the-ordinary groups and organisations. Of course, some discretion is advised. After all, when Jupiter moves on in a year - you may want to make a quick exit too.
ARIES
21 MARCH - 20 APRIL
Jupiter pulls you in the right direction this month. Yet, being stubborn, you could resist its benevolent tug and cling to old ways. Remember, where you simply give an inch, you could gain a mile. Sometimes you wait for events to push you into a decision that you should reach on your own. Go on, Aries - take a leap of faith. You've been set specific karmic goals, which, undoubtedly, you'll reach.
