May 2014 Horoscopes

Observances of holidays this month are:  May Day on the 1st, Cinco de Mayo on the 5th, and Mother’s Day on the 11th, Armed Forces Day on the 17th and Memorial Day on the 26th. 

Out of all of the holidays and observances this month, I would like to say a few words about Mother’s Day.  What a lovely idea to appreciate your Mother, someone who has always been there for you through thick and thin.  She is a woman who has sacrificed, in her own way, to help you get to your goals and dreams.  A Mother is someone you can always count on when life gets hard and she is always there with a story about your youth to make you laugh or to tell you how she had made a worse mistake when she was your age, so that you wouldn’t feel foolish.  Mothers are not always appreciated; however, she will always there for you no matter what.  You can tell her anything and she will help you find a solution or comfort you with a hug or some words of wisdom. 

On Mother’s Day, make the effort to let your Mother know how special she is to you.  Send her a card, or flowers (or whatever she loves!); take her to dinner and make her day splendid.  Acknowledge that you are a better person because she was there to guide you in so many ways.  In our busy lives, we just don’t have the time to tell people in our lives how much we truly love them.  Tell your Mother that you love her.  It will mean the world to her.

Planets in the morning sky: Venus and Saturn through the 10th.

Planets in the night sky : Mercury from the 4th, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn from the 10th.

Retrogrades: Mars goes direct on the 20th, Saturn and Pluto all month.

The sun will go into GEMINI on May 20th.

ARIES - March 20 – April 18

This is a great time to do the things you have always wanted to do, but never had the time for them.  New energy and many wonderful opportunities for getting what you want are at hand.  You feel energized and ready to tackle anything that comes your way.  Career issues need to be resolved before you can move forward.  Handle everything that is unfinished or undone.  This is a great month to tie up all loose ends.  Be especially careful to rest enough because you wouldn’t want to over extend yourself and wind up not feeling well, particularly with the good weather being just around the corner. This is an exciting time for unusual dreams and wishes to become a reality.  Schedules aren’t really for you, but if you have a good outline of what you want to accomplish, it looks like you will be most happy with the result.

’TAURUS - April 19 – May 19

This is your power month, so go out there and accomplish all that you need to.   The time between home life and your career keeps you very busy and a bit tired.  You need time to relax and have fun with your partner.  Some alone time would be appropriate too to find out what you really want out of life.  Find that hobby you haven’t had time for in the last few months and try it again.  Your creativity will help you feel refreshed and focused.  Home life issues need to be dealt with.  Don’t let things get out of control.  Stay centered, grounded and stable now so your future will prosper. Even though life can be confusing and a little depressing at times, many of your plans will fall into place and you will be very happy with the result. Think things through before making important decisions and make it an unforgettable month. 

GEMINI - May 20 – June 20

You are very sensitive this month, so try not to take life too seriously.  Lighten up and go with the flow.  Friends will help you feel loved and very important, so try to spend as much time with them as possible.  Finances may be a touchy situation now, but if you are disciplined, you will be able to make ends meet.  Don’t buy things on impulse; you can even ask for things that you may need for your birthday so you won’t have to put the money out for them.  This is a really good month to go through your home and really de-clutter as much as possible.  The more you get rid of now, the less work you will have to do in the glorious summer months ahead.  Love life leaves much to be desired, but it is because you are supposed to be getting on with the boring tasks of organizing your home, your life and your future. 

”CANCER - June 21 – July 21

Good luck is still following you around even though it may come into your life from extremely unexpected sources.   If you are disappointed that certain plans didn’t work out, just know that it is because the universe wants to bring you something bigger and better.  Don’t obsess over things you have no control over.  Concentrate your thoughts and energy on anything you can control.  Think in the most positive way so that you will attract those “things” to you instead of negativity and fear.  This is a good time to expand in so many ways, whether it is in your studies, your job, your family and home life or in venturing out to do something new.  You will find life exciting and happy once you see what all the possibilities are around you. 

•LEO - July 22 – August 22

Life is so good right now and if you just learn how to enjoy it, you will have a ball.  There are many positive changes coming your way but you have to accept them in order to let them push you to the next level.  It would be good to keep an opened mind about many things now.  Family matters improve and even though there is a lot of activity, you are getting along very well.  Set boundaries about helping others too much since you have many of your own plans to accomplish first.  Be the one in charge of your life for a change and don’t be at everyone else’s beck and call.  You are just as important as all of your family and friends and once you believe that, you will make good progress in bringing whatever you need into your life. 

–VIRGO - August 23 – September 21

You worry about too many things and may have some sleepless nights wondering what you are going to do about certain circumstances.   You need more balance is many areas of life so it would be good to write down a list of things that need to be started, finished or accomplished and then check each one off as they are completed.  Work seems to thrive and your finances seem stable there; however, you seem to be carrying a little too much debt for your own good.  Pay purchases in cash.  Downsize a little bit and things will fall into place nicely. 

LIBRA - September 22 – October 22

Home life and family are very important now and any issues that need sorting out should be attempted now.  Don’t let your career keep you from making critical decisions that affect both you and your family.  It seems you want to do a lot of things, but are procrastinating on so many levels.  Find out what that procrastination is about and deal with it.  This is the worst energy field which attracts more negativity and doubts.  As soon as you are in tune with what you want out of life, you will reach your ideal goals.  Any travel plans that you make will be impromptu or you will change your mind about going.  Be certain before moving forward on anything so you won’t be disappointed. 

˜SCORPIO - October 23 – November 21

Home life issues and concerns may not be that easy to work out.  Patience and communication are needed to resolve any friction between your family and you.  You seem to have many responsibilities and obligations that need your full attention and this pulls you away from the ones you love.  Your ego may also be getting the better of you; however, if you think in a very logical and common sense manner, you will be able to deal with anything that comes your way.  You may also be sidetracked about many projects you would like to complete.  As long as you take a step at a time, you will be very happy with your timetable and its completion time. 

™SAGITTARIUS - November 22 – December 20

This is a remarkable time for you to continue your art projects, finish on-going house projects and create new business goals and dreams.   With the good weather, it is the perfect time to plant your garden, finish up lawn or outdoor projects and to organize yourself early in the season so you will have tons of time to do everything that you want to do during the summer.  Be tactful when necessary as it seems you may be hurting loved ones’ feelings, but haven’t a clue how.  Be realistic about your financial stability and this is a good time to keep your money in the bank so you can have it for a rainy day, if needed.

šCAPRICORN - December 21 – January 18

Health matters can be a touchy subject.  If you are not feeling 100%, then you should get yourself to a health care professional to deal with anything that has been making you depressed, upset or ill.  Rest and relaxation would go a long way in helping you attain good health.  Don’t make a “to do” list that is unattainable.  Handle one or two projects a week, so you have time for other obligations in your life.  This is a great time to realize some dreams, but make sure you are not hurting others with your choices.  Be compassionate and listen to what your partner is saying.  There may be a good lesson to learn if the line of communication is open. 

›AQUARIUS - January 19 – February 17

You are looking for that perfect person to make your life complete.  You will not settle for anything but perfection now; however, there are also many other things that you would like to do, such as travel, visit family and friends you haven’t seen in a long time and spend a little more quality time at home with a loved one or be on your own.  Only you know which one would make you happy.  If partnerships make you crazy, just let them go for now.  Concentrate on other areas of life such as taking care of yourself, getting a new haircut, a makeover or buy new clothes that will make you feel beautiful.  After helping so many other people, you deserve to spend some time on yourself.  You deserve it. 

œPISCES – February 18 – March 19

Money issues may be getting you down, but things will improve soon.  This is a time where you must be ready to make sacrifices now for the fruits of your labor later.  Love life is interesting, but you may have to make a few changes in order to make it fit properly into your life.  Planning vacations overseas would be a nice step in the right direction once you make a decision about where you would like to go.  Things may be confusing on the home front or with your partner, so instead of using all of that emotion to make yourself miserable, think logically and figure out your next step. What is in your best interest? You can always ride things out now until you are ready for a change.
