horoscopes for an upcoming month, written by Annie for Essential
Magazine. For our detailed May monthly horoscopes, see
Monthly Horoscopes from
May 1st.
Aries
Your main focus this month, dear Aries, is on matters surrounding security,
spending, and ownership. However, a sub-theme of May involves having fun,
enjoying hobbies and other amusements, romance, speculation, activities with
children, and general playfulness. The extrovert in you comes out to play. You
have a strong sense of the dramatic now. You are likely to enjoy financial
rewards from your career and work, particularly on the 1-2, 11-13, and 18. The
need to be lenient with co-workers arises. Spontaneity is the key in May. Follow
your heart!
Taurus
May is a power month for you, dear Taurus. It's time to turn on the charm,
ask for what you want, and pursue your personal goals and desires. A romance or
creative project moves forward after a lull. Job offers are likely to
knock on your door.
Opportunities to enhance your home also
occur, and you are
identifying strongly with your family. Clear up money matters in the first 3
weeks of the month, after which financial judgment is somewhat impaired. You
make a distinct impression on others this month--put your best foot forward.
Gemini
May is mentally stimulating for you, dear Gemini, but mostly quiet for the
first three weeks. Feelings of being blocked by circumstances or others arise on
the 3rd, and the urge to rest is strong. It’s all systems go on the 22-24.
You’re plugged in, talkative, and brimming with ideas. Avoid scheduling new
endeavors on the 25-26, however. Pay attention to a fabulous idea on the 28-29.
Walking or another form of routine physical exercise might help relax your mind.
Health is strong and vitality is good in May.
Cancer
You have been more assertive and driven in the past months, dear Cancer, but
all that calms down this month as fiery Mars leaves your sign. You are more
detached than you have been recently, and many pressures in your life lift.
Overall, May is a pleasant month devoted to dreams of the future and friendly
socializing. Partnership matters may have been strained, but begin to improve
now. Watch for impulsive spending or disputes over money, particularly around
the 22nd. You have more energy than usual to make money.
Leo
A more self-assured and assertive spirit grabs hold of you in May, dear Leo,
after the first week of the month. You can’t be ignored! The desire to move
about, explore, and mark your territory is strong. Any efforts to restrict you
will surely fail. Success is what you crave now, and you are willing to take all
the necessary steps to get ahead. Recognition and reward comes on the 11-12 and
20-21. Avoid new initiatives on the 22-27. Any decisions made on the 24-27 in
particular are likely premature.
Virgo
An adventurous, "don't tie me down" spirit gives way to a desire (or need) to
take care of business in May, dear Virgo. You are in demand professionally. What
you have (and haven't) done comes up for inspection this month, so keep
everything above reproach. Lay low on the 3rd and 24-26, however, when energies
are confusing and you could inadvertently misrepresent yourself. If gossip
flies, take the high road and let your behavior speak for itself. This is
another first-rate month for love. Romantic matters are moving forward.
Libra
You are attempting to re-invent yourself this month, dear Libra, and the urge
for self-transformation is strong. Wanting more from life is a theme now and
through next month. May is a good month in which to borrow or to settle debts,
if necessary. Either way, dealing with debt now tends to generate positive
outcomes. However, avoid financial transactions, especially with friends, on the
12-14 and 25-26. Intimate matters are strong, but don't try too hard to read
between the lines with a partner. Romance thrives on the 17-18.
Scorpio
Focus this month, dear Scorpio, is mostly on partnering, sharing, and
intimacy. Nevertheless, the demands of your work, and perhaps even the public,
are large in May. This is a strong month for settling differences on a personal
level, and for going after what you want professionally. Communication is key
when it comes to dealing with sensitive issues with a partner. Impulsive
decision making should be avoided on the 21-23. Confidence works on the job, but
haughtiness doesn’t. Love is especially potent on the 1-2, 12-13, and 17-18.
Sagittarius
Nice opportunities with finances, work, and employment arise this month, dear
Sagittarius. Practical matters are strong for you in May. Money matters move
forward. Although gains are not necessarily explicit just yet, finances look
more hopeful. Intellectual work and studies are favored this month. Towards the
end of the month, partnering comes into focus. It's a strong period for any kind
of negotiation and smoothing over differences. The best periods for you this
month occur on the 11-12 and 18th, when you should keep your eyes open for
opportunities.
Capricorn
The first three weeks of May are mostly dedicated to enjoyment, play, and
romance, dear Capricorn. Your charm is easy and natural. Pressures are easing in
your life and you are coming out of your shell. The lines of communication are
opening. Sexuality is strong, and tensions in a close partnership lessen. Making
a point of getting out of the house and taking in plays, movies, and other forms
of entertainment will do wonders. Learning new skills help improve your work,
which will come into stronger focus towards the end of the month.
Aquarius
Activities in and around the home figure strongly in the first half of May,
dear Aquarius. Less attention to career responsibilities brings you closer to
your roots. Romance is hopping in the second half of the month, when play time
is more important to you than usual. You’ll have plenty of heated discussions
with a partner this month. There will be times when you might find a partner is
coming on too strong or pushing his/her own agenda at your expense. In the last
week of May, be cautious with your money.
Pisces
Plenty of visits, errands to run, social activities to attend, correspondence
to write and respond to, and other busy activity is featured for the first three
weeks of May. This month is a great time to tell someone how you feel, even if
they already know it. Family members are friendlier to you now and news you
receive is mostly pleasant. Love settles down and becomes more intimate. Avoid
making important love decisions on the 25-26. Enthusiasm for work projects
returns, and more diversity as well as opportunities occur on the job.
