HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21–April 19)

Welcome to the fabulously merry month of May! One has visions of flowers and ribbons and dancing around a maypole. May Day is also called Beltane in some circles, and one of the delightful traditions is the weaving and wearing of flower crowns. Travel plans have Rams feeling as fiery as their signs, and their anticipation is building. Bonds are strengthening this month, and relationships are being nurtured under your thoughtful care. Do something special with Ma this month; she deserves the very best.

Taurus (April 20–May 20)

Happy birthday, Taurus! Bulls are really contemplating their lives this month. There’s been some obstacles, but this earth sign has plowed through some rocky times and now finds themself in a good place. It’s a good idea to be surrounded by lily of the valley this month. You find yourself in receipt of some lovely and thoughtful gifts, but it’s always a good idea to ensure that you treat your own self as well, so do buy yourself some flowers. A special night out is ahead, so enjoy time spent with your nearest and dearest. Happy solar return.

Gemini (May 21–June 20)

Twins are not overly fond of cold weather, so the fact that spring has finally sprung is of great solace. Victoria Day this month means that there’s some resting and relaxing involved for those born under this sign. New paths are opening up for these air signs lately, and so are some intriguing new business opportunities. Now is the time to really explore your talents and consider being an entrepreneur, particularly around the 30th, when the new moon is in your sign. Your inner circle is expanding a bit, and some new people in your life are adding in some much-needed perspective. Happy birthday to the late May babies!

Cancer (June 21–July 22)

The full moon in May is known as the Flower Moon, so do plan to spend a bit of time moon gazing. It’s a time for new beginnings and intense evolution around the 16th, and any decisions made at this time will prove fruitful. Crabs may be feeling the strong pull of the moon more so than other signs at the moment, simply because the moon is the ruling planet of Cancer. This is a time to give up what doesn’t serve you. What does that look like? Celebrate Mom this month in style. Fire up the barbecue and make an evening of it. After all, water signs love to be surrounded by friends and family.

Leo (July 23–August 22)

Time to do some spring cleaning, Leo. Whether tidying up their altar or going full-out, it’s no secret that Lions love doing some home renos and repair, and this month finds them lined up at the local home and garden store to fulfill all their best laid plans. It’s nice to finally be able to crack open those windows and give the walls a fresh coat of paint. Rearranging furniture allows stagnant energy to flow through and revives your ambiance. This month has feisty Leos finding their joy in the kitchen. That might look like trying a complex recipe, or baking some bread by the hearth. A new kitchen product may add some flair with experimenting.

Virgo (August 23– September 22)

The rumours are true— Mercury goes retrograde on the 10th. This isn’t always a bad thing, though. Virgos enjoy order and routine, but when life gets shaken up a little bit, it allows some problem-solving and out-of-the-box thinking to happen, which may not normally occur. Simply go with the flow rather than trying to fight the current. Career figures prominently this month, and it’s time to think about your current job situation. Perhaps it may be worthwhile to do some journaling on the matter and really go deep, and ask some hard questions. Plan a surprise family outing for Mother’s Day.

Libra (September 23– October 22)

Have your dreams been really intense lately? It may be time to keep a record of your dreams and see if there’s any underlying messages. May is an energetically powerful month, and your subconscious may be trying to tell you something. Dream recall is an invaluable form of divination, often holding incredible insight as to what the future holds. Spend some time in nature and just be still and listen to the noises around you. Taking a few minutes in this type of meditation can help ease our mind. Perhaps visit a local metaphysical shop and see if anything calls to you. Spend time preparing for your garden.

Scorpio (October 23– November 21)

Victoria Day weekend approacheth, and Scorpions couldn’t be more delighted. There’s definitely some travel plans happening, even if it’s just a short distance. It all counts! Getting away from the hectic pace of everyday life will bring about a significant change to your physical and mental wellbeing. Being close to the water brings a great deal of peace. Whether it’s a family outing or a solo trip, there’s a great deal of merriment attached to these plans.

Sagittarius (November 22– December 21)

Archers are really feeling it these days. They are outside, enjoying the weather, and weekends may find them brunching or going to little markets or quaint coffee shops. Finally free of the shackles of winter, Sags might be doing some exploring around town on bicycle or on foot. Life seems to have fallen into a pleasant pace. There’s a special birthday person in your life this month, so do make some special plans to celebrate their big day. Mother’s Day finds you beaming with joy when it comes to your offspring. Isn’t it great to watch a young person grow up to be a wonderful young adult? Tea time finds you contemplating scones and jam. A goal is accomplished this month.

Capricorn (December 22– January 19)

Your social life is on the upswing these days, Cap! Your hermit self is finally emerging from the confines of hibernation. It’s time to share glorious you with the world! It’s time to make those big, brash decisions that have been weighing on your mind. It’s no secret that Goats are extremely hard workers, but allow yourself time for fun too. Your social circle expands and your calendar starts to fill up with outings. Mother’s Day celebrations with the family are smooth sailing.

Everyone is getting along and old grudges have been forgotten. Enjoy being the centre of attention.

Aquarius (January 20– February 18)

This is a lucky month for you, Aquarius. You will enjoy a little bit of financial success, so make sure you grab that extra scratch ticket or consider signing up with the work lottery group. Perhaps a larger than expected tax refund? In any case, abundance is in your favour this month. There is a certain sense of excitement in the air, and Water-Bearers are feeling it. You’ll be asked to step up around the time of the full moon this month, so push away those qualms of assuming a leadership role and just dive in. A weekend getaway with friends or a loved one promises to be an enjoyable time. Celebrate Mom or a maternal figure this month. Spoiling others is fun, as it’s a win-win situation. Prosperity abounds!

Pisces (February 19– March 20)

Are you feeling a bit rundown lately, Pisces? Time to stop your whirlwind schedule and just slow down for a bit and take stock. Ask your inner self what needs to be worked on, and take it from there. You may need to add a healing modality to your life, and take time to breathe, meditate, or do yoga. This will soothe your squirrel brain and can help to improve your overall well-being. Enjoy a bath with some soothing oils or salts. Self-care is vitally important these days, and a social media break may be in order. Curl up with a good book instead. Mother’s Day has you feeling a bit bittersweet. A surprise phone call or FaceTime will cheer you up immensely.
