May 2008
Aries
No-one cares how good you are, so stop trying for that gold star all the time. You know what? It’s actually just irritating. This month, go crazy. Be bad. You’ll have more fun and the people around you will be able to relax. It’s hard living with a saint. Romance Hey, why not be really bad? Get out the Kama Sutra and leave it around where your partner can see it. You’ve been buttoned down for so long – live a little.
Taurus
A powerful aspect to the Sun is playing havoc with your ego this month. One minute you think you’re the Grand Master of the Universe, the next you’re not sure if you’re worth anyone bothering about. There’s nothing you can do about this, I’m afraid. You’ve just got to ride this one out until the Sun settles down again. Romance A relationship that has been causing you heartache will come to a crisis point this month. You need to decide if this is what you really want.
Gemini
You have been worried about your career recently. It may seem that you’re stuck in a holding pattern but try to take the long view. Jobs are all about incremental steps in problem solving, and you often have to take steps back. Actually, you are making progress. Look back at your career and see how far you’ve come. Romance This is an excellent month to make a move in a new relationship that you’ve been cautiously exploring. Go on. It’s always worth jumping.
Cancer
You are firing on all cylinders this month. A productive period is ahead of you, one in which your creativity will come at you like a pack of snarling boxers. I mean the dogs. This is a month to allow whatever appears in your life to take it’s due. You just have to follow along and enjoy the ride. Romance. Ah. Yes, well this isn’t looking too good, is it? It’s a lucky thing your creativity is boiling because there is nothing you can do about your romance situation. You just have to wait and see.
Leo
A journey awaits you this month. A positive aspect to Mercury is affecting your sign and you will find that this journey brings with it some seismically important changes for you. Be careful not to make any hasty decisions, though. You will need to think carefully about any drastic changes you make to your life. Romance. Your partner has been feeling misunderstood lately. This month, do something to let them know that you love them.
Virgo
Your friends rely on you for support but sometimes that can be a trap. Don’t get caught up in the drama of being the mothering one with all the answers. It feels good for a while, but in the end it’s draining and distracting. By all means, help close friends in need, but don’t make social work necessary to your self image. Romance You have been feeling lonely. Know that love comes from within as well as without. Love yourself and more love will come your way.
Libra
A powerful aspect to Pluto will bring a mad May for you. Your family is trying to control you with “helpful advice” and this month you’re set to unleash a backlash that has been boiling away underneath. Tempers will flare, relatives will be scalded. It’s all good. Advice is a cunning mechanism for putting you down and this revolution is overdue for your emotional health. Romance This is a good time to re-evaluate what has been going on in your relationship. You need to give this some thought.
Scorpio
Work is preoccupying you to the exclusion of all else. It’s fun but it can’t last. That high you’re getting from goals and deadlines and pressure will soon turn to a burden if you don’t make some space in your life for your hobbies and your personal life. They need attention too, you know. Romance. See above. Your personal life is suffering from lack of care. Your relationship will quickly bounce back if you give your partner some of your time.
Sagittarius
You owe someone close to you an apology. Oh, don’t give me that look! You do and you know you do. Now get off your high horse and say you’re sorry. Actually, if you really want to value the relationship, listen to their grievance, really try hard to understand it. If you’re open to them, you’ll have an “Aha” moment that will be lovely for you both. Romance. Everything you want is right there in front of you. You need to open your eyes and your ears this month and you will be richly rewarded.
Capricorn
The Moon-Juno midpoint moving through your sign right now means that this will be a month of reflection. If you’ve been stressed, it’s time to stop running and take stock. Are you going in the direction you want? Are you following your own path or one someone else has chosen for you? This is a time for re-evaluating your life and maybe making some overdue changes. Romance You have been very, very bad. Good for you! That’s the way. Can’t be a doormat all your life.
Aquarius
A turbulent time in your life is giving you all sorts of grief right now. There’s a negative aspect to Uranus which is interfering in the smooth running of your life. You are used to being in control, but you will find that as soon as you give up the need to control, everything you want will come to you. The question is – are you brave enough to do that? Romance It’s all about love, amigo, that’s what it’s all about. There’s nothing more. Choose love and you won’t go wrong.
Pisces
Hi-dely-ho, neighbourino! Gosh aren’t people annoying? It’s like the whole world is filled with Ned Flanders right now. Your workplace is plagued with idiocy and it’s not going to get better. I recommend daily reading of some simple Buddhist texts and deep breathing exercises. Also, a walk at lunchtime works wonders. This month you will be tested, but someone’s about to get fired, so it should improve next month. Romance A new acquaintance is proving interesting and is keener on you than you realise. Have fun.
