May 2016 Monthly Star Blast Horoscope

Hello and Happy May!

May’s not quite as action packed as April was- but here’s the thing: we are still rolling around in all the energy that those particular transits brought on. Matter of fact, most of them are still going- but, we also open the month with a New Moon in Taurus on the 6th and just going from there.

Another significant thing in the month ahead- Jupiter stationing direct after having been retrograde since January. Now, for many, this takes a look back through those months as it is all connected. The most important facet of this entire Jupiter retrograde cycle, however, has been some interesting work with Uranus.

Essentially, there have been many challenges, and if you look back, I believe you’ll know them when you think about it. All of these things have been sometimes painful, sometimes difficult, but, ultimately- growth experiences. I know, I know. Nobody really likes to try to put that sort of cheesy label on things: but it beats the alternative of just imagining it all to be some sort of random hurts for no reason. Many of these things have involved the way that we interact with others, how much we give, how much we take, and how much should we really be sharing, really?

There are two ways this could play out- you may be sort of questioning the way that your interactions have gone: and worried you’re being used in some way. Being suspicious of others can certainly arise from the challenges represented by many of the aspects at play now. Or, you can recognize that certain cycles have ended. Why do you feel the way you do about others? Is it them or is it you? And go from there. These aspects at play now are definitely all about questioning your values, questioning your beliefs. Figuring out your own reality and going from there. For the next few months, you may find yourself continuing to adjust and it’s okay.

With all these planets still in retrograde- an incredibly rare occurrence, now is the time to look at things. I realize, many astrologers say that: but, this is an event that really only happens rarely. Less than 5% of the time. While I am not the fatalist stripe of astrologer that throws all this urgency into things- I am going to tell you that no matter what it is you have faced these past few years: now can most definitely be the time for you to turn things around, even if you believe you can’t. Astrology is a pattern and a roadmap that can help: but what matters is inside of you- and believe me when I say that you have what it takes to do this, whatever “this” may be for you, and to quote Winnie the Pooh: “Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Hang in there; you’ve got this.

Yours,

Victoria

  

Aries

This is going to be a red-letter month for you, Aries- a time when big changes aren’t exactly flying ahead to be done, but rather, a time when you begin to believe you can, again. Take heart- these things you need and want- these are things you deserve, and you can make things happen. It’s probably a big “Duh” when I say I know you’ve been through a lot the last year or so- but here you are, and there you go. Allow yourself to feel the bits of hope and joy that filter through things this month.

Taurus

There have been plenty of things to think about the past few months, haven’t there, Taurus? Well, the time for thinking may well be over- but it’s not quite time for acting. Though it’s never easy to go beyond that comfort zone, it may be time. This month will bring along with it plenty of opportunities to ask yourself, “Should I stay or should I go?” with situations, people, and even places. What would you do, if you could do anything?

Gemini

There are many ideas, thoughts, and feelings just swirling up within you now, Gemini. You have a lot going for you when it comes to your mind- and it may seem like it’s a little in overdrive this month. If you take a deep breath, slow down, and really way the options before you- a plan will emerge, even if you’re not sure. There’s clarity within you, but first: find the center, calm, and make it so you can see it. Once you do, you’ll find yourself ready to take some risks that propel you forward.

Cancer

This month may bounce back and forth between introspection and an oddly social feel, Cancer. You will be feeling more like connecting with others- and that may pick a little at the distance you’ve felt with those you already have a connection with. Take some time this month to consider that distance and how it happened- a pattern may emerge and given now’s the time for breaking cycles, it’s possible to either close that gap or cut the tie. Either way, rising up and moving forward is the order of the month.

Leo

Things may be a bit more hectic this month than they have been in a while, Leo. Be careful to check and recheck things you do, pay attention to the details, and slow down when you can. Balance is going to be pretty necessary as rapid fire changes begin to take place. While you may at times feel your temper flare up a bit: if you slow down and think, you won’t make a misstep. Remember, this stretch of time, these next few weeks are not for making big moves, but rather, planning them well.

Virgo

Things have seemed pretty up and down, back and forth- at times, feeling like everything’s going your way, but then, seeming to pull back. Use the energy at play this month to dig a bit into the details of things. You’ll find that there are things you can adjust and work with- and that will smooth things out and get them moving forward. All this retrograde action in play, and sure, there are a few challenges- but, if you use the backwards view to figure out where things tend to trip you up: you’ll be more on the watch and more on the ball.

Libra

You are going to be feeling a lot like moving forward and a lot more hopeful with things- hold on to this feeling, Libra. You will start to see the opportunities that emerge from challenges, and be better able to believe that they are real. May can be a pivotal month for you- to adjust to new situations, to resolve old ones, and to get things on the path you’ve hoped you could.

Scorpio

The biggest factor in your astrological situation, Scorpio, for the month of May? That Mars retrograde. It’s bringing up some things you had buried, both good and bad- showing you the areas where you’re ready to make changes, and others that just straight up need feeling. Allow yourself the time to heal- and in the process, fully grieve those things you lost. Once you purge a bit, emotionally, you’ll find yourself feeling more trust in yourself, more faith in the process, and a greater understanding of where you need to be.

Sagittarius

Big changes are on the wind, and you’ve been sniffing that air for several months, now, waiting and hoping, Sagittarius. Though things have been just a bit wibbly wobbly- you have held on to something, have known something, and have ridden through the changes the best you could. Now, though, is the time for you to take the reigns and get things on a better path- as you put things into play, you’ll find yourself becoming a lot more confident in the process.

Capricorn

You may be feeling a little bit overwhelmed and swamped in May as changes begin to take place, Capricorn. However, many of these things are goals you have worked on- and you deserve the changes that are happening. The process of transformation may feel a bit unsure, unsettling- but, even as the sparks fly this month: you’ll be feeling a bit more ready to take on the world. Step at a time, though- pay attention to the details, prioritize and get ready to follow through. You’ve got this. You always did.

Aquarius

After what must have seemed like months of uncertainty, a few things become much clearer in this month for you, Aquarius. You will find yourself feeling like now is a good time to move on things- and though that is a good feeling: not just yet. Before you make the moves you’ve been feeling ready to roll on- review. Renew, and regroup. Give yourself a chance to go over those things you’re planning and you may just find even more confidence in doing so.

Pisces

May’s going to be an interesting month for you, Pisces. Though you usually feel a little hesitant to step out of those things you feel comfortable in: a feeling of needing new experiences, changing things up and getting things into play in a whole new way, on a whole ‘nother level might just be tickling you in all the right places. There are things you’ve wondered if you could change, and well, the answer is: absolutely, you can. Use the energy at play this month to put those pieces together and take the steps you need to.
