HOROSCOPES

TAURUS apr 21 – may 21

TAKE A DEEP BREATH, BECAUSE YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO UNDERGO A BIG TRANSFORMATION. MOST OF THE MONTH’S COSMIC ACTION BUILDS UP TO THE NEW MOON IN TAURUS ON MAY 16. THIS LUNATION IS ALL ABOUT YOU, PARTICULARLY YOUR PERSONAL ASPIRATIONS. WITH URANUS ENTERING TAURUS AND MARS VISITING AQUARIUS ON THE SAME DAY, YOU CAN EXPECT CAREER GOALS TO COME INTO PLAY, TOO. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU RECEIVE A WAKE-UP CALL ABOUT THE NEED TO STRATEGICALLY ALIGN YOUR DAILY HABITS TO SUPPORT LONG-TERM PLANS.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 21

You may find yourself outgrowing certain social circles as your ruling planet, Mercury, rumbles with Pluto, Mars and Uranus on May 8, 13 and 14. You could feel unclear about exactly where you stand, and like people don’t really understand you. Listening more than you talk is the key here. At the end of the month, a full moon will illuminate patterns within your significant relationships. What work needs to be done so the relationships are more cohesive?

CANCER JUN 22 – JUL 23

You’ll receive some tough love from a boss or colleague – in fact, it may seem like they’re holding you to higher standards than usual. You’ll be pushed to really listen to others, and you should mark your calendar for May 8, 14 and 26, when you’ll need to put more effort into your relationships. Late in the month, Venus enters Cancer, inviting you to indulge in self-care. Try nourishing yourself with comfort food or pampering yourself with a bath after May 20.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

May brings new beginnings and inspiration to your career path, but you’ll need to assess

the day-to-day steps you’re taking to actualise your dreams. It’s time to dig deep, but the more you know yourself, the stronger you’ll be. May 16 is the best day to start laying the groundwork for the success you dream of. Your social network will be vital to this process, so don’t underestimate the power of a good connection.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Your ruling planet, Mercury, will clash with Pluto and Mars on May 8 and 13, making you feel like the stress of incorporating anything extra into your life isn’t worth the effort. So hold off on taking up any creative pursuits at this time. The latter portion of the month will shine light on your career goals, offering opportunities for greater stability at work on May 19 and 25. By month’s end, the full moon will nudge you to give more consideration to family matters.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

It’s time to get real about work and relationships. Long-term plans could feel unclear as changes to a partner’s life call you to make tweaks to your own around May 8, 13 and 14. Whether their ambitious nature motivates you or alters your living situation, don’t rush to initiate big changes just yet. Later in the month, flourishing career matters will help inspire your direction and, although family could feel like a limiting factor, it will be the element that allows you to reach for the sky.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

This month centres around the changes occurring within your home and relationships. A new moon on May 16 coincides with Uranus entering Taurus (where it’ll be for the next eight years), and Mars, your ruler, entering Aquarius. Not only does this point to a month of transition in your partnerships, but you can expect an evolution of values as well. You should also look out for conflict with a loved one about the ideal home environment.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 22

There’ll be a focus on work and the social dynamics of your workplace. Your perspective will be shaped by how to find stability among rapidly shifting circumstances. The sun’s dance into Gemini on May 22 will also highlight the habits that are formed from your relationships. Do they inspire healthy changes, or is it time to re-evaluate who influences your wellbeing? By month’s end, a full moon will beckon you to contemplate the true meaning of balance.

CAPRICORN DEC 23 – JAN 20

The first half of May will drive you to wrap up the intense family dynamics you’ve been dealing with. Your inner hothead could emerge when touchy subjects come up on May 8, 13, 14 and 17 – just be mindful of strongarming others to prove a point. Your focus then turns to romance. A special someone could seek an intimate connection or look to see how serious things are. It might be time for a heart-to-heart if your knee-jerk reaction is to guard instead of embrace.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

What gives you strength and what challenges it? Mars enters Aquarius this month, preparing you for the spiritual weight training you’re about to undergo. You’ll be invited out of your safe space to learn more about what makes you tick. The new moon on May 16 hints at changes around the home. Whether it’s a move or even a baby, the fundamental structures of your life are about to dramatically change.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

From running around for loved ones to just being available to chat, your family will keep you busy this month. But focusing on daily tasks will offer you more spiritual growth than you think. There’s no need to isolate yourself – you can still cultivate self-knowledge at home and in the observation of your everyday thoughts. By the end of the month, a full moon will spill light on the materialisation of your self-awareness.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

While you’ll have plenty of energy to accomplish a serious amount of work during the first part of May, you’ll need to watch how your tone comes across. You may not think twice about correcting someone or suggesting a new direction at work, but it could be seen as an act of rebellion. Late in the month, your focus will shift to rallying up support for professional enterprises. If at first you don’t succeed, try again – especially around May 24.
