♈ Aries

Horoscope for May

You are encouraged to give someone new in your life a chance, dear Aries. This may mean romantically, platonically, or perhaps in a work/business setting. Someone you have recently met, or may meet very soon, might not seem like your “cup of tea” for one reason or another. However, they may have something to offer you that will be quite surprising and very beneficial. Open your mind. You may have to take a broad look at your finances this month. This could come up because of questions about future financial security or because of a potential investment you are thinking about. If you take a deep look at your spending habits, budgeting strategies, and what you want to save, you can come up with an overview that will put you on a solid path for future prosperity. Seek out help if you have a resource that can guide you. A career or education matter may come up around the second week of May, compelling you to make a decision that also relates to your future security. This could be related to a job, a degree, or the study of something that will positively contribute to your future plans. The subject of travel might come up this month, but if so, it could be related to an obligation rather than traveling simply for pleasure. Even so, it could turn out quite well and wind up being very enjoyable. Later in the month, you may either make or receive a real estate offer or start looking for a real estate related opportunity.

♉Taurus

Horoscope for May

Old photographs usually bring back happy memories. That’s because we mostly take pictures during happy times. We don’t typically photograph the hard times or the sad experiences. Those don’t go into the photo album. This month, Taurus, you may be drawn to reminiscing about a long-ago experience that you remember as being blissful. In comparison, it is making something about your present life look hard or depressing. However, back then – even though you recall happy times – there were probably also hardships, difficult times, and sadness – all mixed in with the joy. Try to put what you’re going through into perspective. You may face a challenge in May – most likely in the first part of the month – but there will also be some wonderful moments, picture-worthy ones. Also in May, there may be some noteworthy milestone to acknowledge and perhaps celebrate. Although you may not do so immediately, you may at least want to plan for it. Try to make the planning as joyful as possible so that the whole experience will be delightful and worthy of the moments you are recognizing. Your ambition for a pet project has been growing bigger and bigger. This is something that may have started out as an interest or a hobby, and now you might be thinking about the ways you might be able to take it to a higher level, possibly to make money with it. This month, you could connect with someone who can show you how. For that to happen, however, you will need to share your interest with people you meet.

♊Gemini

Horoscope for May

You may have the chance to show off one of your gifts early this month, dear Gemini. This could be anything from singing to stand-up comedy. The venue could be a nightclub, an open-mike night at a coffee shop, or maybe a friend’s party. Whatever your talent may be, share it with passion. This could lead to meeting someone new or perhaps opening up a unique opportunity for yourself. An invitation from a very unlikely source may come to you this month, around the middle of May. This may be surprising because it could come from someone who you think doesn’t like you, or vice versa. Or it may be that you don’t know this person all that well. Either way, the oddness of it might cause you to decline the invitation. However, that’s exactly why you should say yes – this may turn out to be a unique opportunity to meet someone special or to improve your life in some way. You may get the go-ahead this month on an application or request you made quite some time ago. This might involve both money and a contract, and the answer you receive should be positive and very exciting. Get started on this as soon as you can. At the end of May, you may feel cornered into including someone in a plan – someone you either don’t care for or don’t know well enough. However, if you give it a chance, you could discover a really good reason why this person was put on your path.

♋Cancer

Horoscope for May

The month of May is named after the Roman goddess Maia. This month is often associated with spring, growth, and rebirth. This is in perfect alignment with what is in store for you this month, dear Moonchild. You have been longing for a new beginning, and May is going to offer that to you. While you have experienced quite a lot of growing pains recently, including some moments of struggle, sadness, and frustration, you will soon feel like spring in bloom! Opportunities to do the things that you do best – and that have been undiscovered – will start coming to you early this month. There may even be one or two opportunities that will seem almost dreamlike. As you enter May, you may find yourself feeling both mentally and physically exhausted from all that you have been through, but you will need to pull yourself up and resolve to take on any chance that feels inspiring to you. Once you do, you should find that your energy will swell, and you will feel ambitious and motivated once again. You may also have a fresh start where love and romance are concerned, whether you are single and looking or attached. If you have an estranged family member, this estrangement has seemingly sucked the joy out of you for a long time. This happened over an extended period of time, and up until now this has seemed unresolvable. However, an approach made by a key person this month may show you that there is an alternate and much more joyful path, should you choose to take it. Another area of concern, possibly with the emotional well-being of a loved one, will also be validated this month. You may have been feeling a bit guilty about not being able to help them, but you will soon see that you are not responsible for their happiness.

♌Leo

Horoscope for May

Have you been in a bossy mood lately, Leo? If so, it’s only because so much has been expected of you and a lot of pressure has been placed on you, and when you rely on others, they have let you down a time or two. Now you are in the mode of taking charge and taking no prisoners! This month, it will get easier, but you are encouraged to maintain that powerful mindset. You may still find that the people you are counting on are being a bit lazy, but rather than putting on a bossy or overly assertive tone, try using your most inspiring approach. Use encouragement to get others motivated. Try to paint a picture of the fabulous outcome you are expecting. Turn on your charm. A financial pursuit will take precedence around the middle of May. This is not something that is a problem – this is more about transforming a little bit of money into much more money. It could be about managing an investment or selling something valuable, but you will need to do some exploring and consulting with experts to get the most “bang for your buck.” Late in May you may meet someone new, such as a neighbour who moves in on your street or someone who becomes employed where you work. While this person may not make the greatest impression at first, they could quickly become a dear friend and confidante, so be patient with them and give it a fair chance.

♍Virgo

Horoscope for May

Creativity will be very important to you this month, dear Virgo – either your own or it could involve the amazing imagination of someone you admire. Either way, something could be created that will leave observers in awe, and it could turn out to be lucrative for you in some way later on. And even if it isn’t your own creativity that is in the spotlight this month, what you see will impress and inspire you to be more creative yourself using untapped talents. A friendship may endure a rough patch this month, most likely due to a misunderstanding. If you both remain stubborn, this could drag on for quite some time. However, if you are both open to taking turns speaking and listening, you can find clarity and work it out. Some skill you have may be displayed this month and studied. You may be striving for a new job or for some role that you covet, and you will want to show off a bit. Don’t hold back, even though your natural modesty might make you feel like you should. Let your colors fly and show what you can do. This could lead to a wonderful opportunity. A last-minute request around the third week of May might be extremely inconvenient for you, but you are encouraged to say yes anyway. Not only will you be able to do quite a lot of good by helping someone out, but this could result in an offer or a chance that you will not want to miss.
