Aries
Overall, May is a huge month for Aries risings and your relationships. This month you may feel unstoppable as whatever you set your heart on will go quite well. Plans are coming together, and you are ready to initiate any brewing plans. In fact, May 12 – October 27 is a huge time of personal growth for you and the expansion of your ambitions for success. Unfortunately, your personal relationships are going through a tricky phase. For the first ten days of May your mind will be spiralling with thoughts and so make sure you are careful when communicating with people and understand what the other person is saying before you are offended or confused.
Taurus
This month you may be experiencing some big changes or pushes in your life which will eventually lead you to an epiphany of self-realisation, but don’t worry, this month you’ll be feeling a lot less stressed and anxious than the previous months. Be open to doing and seeing things in different lights, they may serve you better. Around May 15th some of your close friends and family members’ relationships may be changed in some way, accept this and think about it positively. Towards the end of the month, review the reasons you invest your time in certain people. If you realise they are letting you down, now is a great time to move on.
Gemini
Your efforts this month may be influenced by a lot of roadblocks and delays but just keep going. This month will be a huge one for introspection and thinking about how you can better balance aspects of your life so you can take better care of yourself. Around May 20th you may have a moment of clarity and feel as though a lot of your questions are answered, so hang in there. (Late June seems to bring a lot of rewards as well so keep putting in the hard work!)
Cancer
Your career and school goals will seem to go well this month, and in fact they may have great long-term influences as well so keep persevering. You may also feel a bit restless and erratic from now until the end of the year, allow this to help you make positive changes in your life. You may also be presented with some beneficial opportunities in relation to your career and school life. Although these may be hard to achieve, don’t turn them down, as your hard work will pay off and you may be surprised.
Leo
Some unexpected and erratic changes may occur in your life this month. Use this unpredictable energy to explore new ideas as you will have many creative surges. Remember that surprises are fun, so enjoy them instead of getting anxious. It may be hard to focus on anything this month but in the last week make sure you knuckle down and make some of those decisions you’ve been avoiding.
Virgo
This month is a huge one for planning, especially in relation to your career and school life. You have high expectations, so utilise those to work hard and achieve any goals you have in place. This month may also grant you second chances in regard to previously lost opportunities, so keep your eyes open. It may feel as though others are overworking you and manipulating you however, and this month is a great time to step back and work on yourself instead.
Libra
This month will be busy. There is an eclipse on the 30th of April which is a time for transformation and growth. This eclipse will be especially eventful for you, impacting your intimate relationships and finances. It is a good time to rethink these areas of your life and let go of anything. You may also find troubles in schoolwork or learning for some of May during mercury retrograde. It is not the best time to start new things such as assignments, so start them before the retrograde happens.
Scorpio
This month will be a month of extreme heightened emotions and change. The eclipse will highlight your love light and will make you rethink any partnerships that are past their due date. If you do not take action, the universe will for you. You may feel lonely and isolated. There is a lot of energy, so it is a good time to express your feeling for someone but be careful about your intentions. Later in May, you may be feeling very misunderstood and secretive. With the Mercury retrograde you will experience troubles with technology.
Sagittarius
This month is a good time for setting routines and getting organised. Any routines and bad habits that you have will be detrimental during the start of May, and any unresolved health problems may arise too. With the mercury retrograde, you may be feeling very lonely. It is not a good time to get into a relationship or start talking to anyone new. Plans may change or fall through, and there will be lots of miscommunication in your relationships. Do not overreact. Take some time to reconsider and respond rather than reacting. Remember that it will pass soon.
Capricorn
This month is a good time to reconsider hobbies and to indulge in self-care. It is important to take care of yourself, especially with all this energy in the sky. Go out and do something fun. Drop any hobbies that you hate. You may be feeling stressed late May, having trouble organising thoughts and ideas or your own life, Plans are likely to fall through so double check. It is important to set a routine for yourself before the retrograde.
Aquarius
This month your family life may be feeling especially tense. Your home life may be feeling jittery, aggravated or tense. It is a good time to spice up your room and make it homey. There may be changes in your home life too, secrets or big events. In late May you may feel lonely, you may feel restless. Even if you feel insecure, make plans anyway. Avoid children during this time.
Pisces
This month is a good time to embrace new ideas. It is a really good time to start writing or something communicative like creative writing or a language. You may feel lots of change in the way you are thinking or speaking. You may also find lots of change going on with siblings. During late May you may have trouble with your family, feeling angry and agitated. Lots of miscommunication. To work past this, remember to have a space to relax in and take a break.
