Horoscopes: May 2024

By James Christie

STAR SIGN OF THE MONTH: TAURUS 20th APR – 20th May

Rather a mystical month when a number of situations seem to come full circle. In some ways a challenging month and not always an easy one, but at least you’ll feel you have achieved something worthwhile by the end of it. Travel aspects bode well in the first half of the month and many of you will be visiting places you’ve never been before. Relationships seem sound and solid, but partners will have some high expectations of you.

GEMINI 21^st May – 20^th Jun

One of those months when you must go with the flow. Avoid conflict on all levels (remember it takes two to argue) and avoid making any major decisions. If this frustrates others who expect you to leap into action, then let them be frustrated. Having said all that, the 4th of the month is a day when you could well start getting the answers to many of the questions you have been asking lately.

CANCER 21^st JUN – 22^nd JUL

This will unashamedly be a better month for the blokes than for others, especially those who know what they want and what they need to do to get it. Legal dealings and bureaucracy figure around the 14th and 15th leading to brighter and more confident moods towards the month’s end.

LEO 23^rd JUL – 22^nd AUG

Probably much to your own surprise, May could well turn out to be a very romantic and emotionally satisfying month, but be warned, there will be some divided loyalties involving priorities. It is to be hoped that you’ve got the gumption to put your heart before your head. I guess this energy affects all of you, but the under 30s will feel it most. The 6th brings you into contact with a new friend and ally.

VIRGO 23^rd AUG – 22^nd SEPT

Now, my dears, be just a bit canny and careful throughout May, because what might seem like a brilliant opportunity could lead you into a minefield of complications. The sixes are relevant here – the 6th, 16th, and 26th. If travel plans and work schedules need to be changed, change ‘em rather than trying to force something through that does not want to be forced. Gentlemen should be of particular assistance to the women in their lives.

LIBRA 23^rd SEPT – 22^nd OCT

May is unlikely to be an “easy” month because whatever you’ve got, it won’t be all that you want, and just like the rest of us, you’ll want more! Good news is that you can have it, but it’s a long game of softly softly catchy monkey. Take care on the 7th not to overreach yourself, and be content to find clarity with regard to future targets and ambitions. While you are attracted to the bird in the bush, do not undervalue the bird in the hand.

SCORPIO 23^RD OCT – 21^ST NOV

Knowledge, learning, education… All relevant this month. If you’ve got any kind of “test” coming up, driving or medical, you can afford to be very confidant. Where romances and relationships are concerned, be prepared to give a little, and you stand to gain a lot. The events of May 10th to the 14th should bring confirmation of this statement. Money being spent on new self-image seems like cash well spent – just avoid grey and go for bright colours.

SAGITTARIUS 22^nd NOV – 21^st DEC

You are more than entitled to your opinions and points of view, but May might be a good month to soften your stance a little and avoid being too argumentative. If here is some resistance to your timetables and agendas, find compromises and avoid confrontation. Regardless of how you see yourself, other folk see you as being a “strong” person and there are times when you can be a bit intimidating. Let those times not be now!

CAPRICORN 22^ND DEC – 19^TH JAN

All in all, quite an exciting month! Travel aspects (early-month) tie in with some very welcome reunions with moods of parties and celebrations. In some ways, it’s a very exciting month – so think on this. Just what is going to get you excited these days? No angles, no agendas. In relationships with partners and spouses, the “other half” seems to be going out of their way to please.

AQUARIUS 2o^th Jan – 18^th FEB

A wheeling dealing Machiavellian kind of month, full of schemes and secret plans, and when who you know is more important than anything you can actually do. An important journey in the first 10 days or so opens some new contacts with old friends.

PISCES 19^th Feb – 20^th Mar

Parent/child relationships go through a very positive period, and there could be news of a pregnancy or birth… Around the 6th or maybe the 7th? Leisure and pleasure pursuits are the order of the day, and (sorry about the cliché) this is a brilliant time for making contact with the child inside. Unexpected presents (obviously nothing to do with birthdays) make you smile… an indication of someone’s appreciation rather than a romantic love token.

ARIES 21^st MAR – 19^th APR

A busy and productive month, especially for the self-employed. You work away steadily at routine projects, but then on the 13th (I think) some sort of short cut or lucky break drops into your lap. Hopefully you will see it for what it is and take full advantage! It is a month for building – new relationships, broken bridges, or conservatories and kitchen extensions. The principle remains the same!
