Taurus (20 Apr–20 May)
What helps you to relieve tension? This May, explore mindfulness techniques, from breathwork to meditation. Commit to giving yourself downtime. For those celebrating your birthday, consider going for a spa session or taking care of yourself in whichever way you prefer. This month is all about appreciating slowness, so try to clear at least one weekend for your own relaxation.
Gemini (21 May–21 Jun)
Is what you’re chasing worth it? Actively review your current commitments and motivations. Some of you may discover that you’ve outgrown the goals and ambitions you used as benchmarks. Take this as a sign to pivot. For those who prefer to hold on, ensure that you’re doing so with pure intentions. Winning isn’t everything, especially when it’s because you’re only afraid of losing.
Cancer (22 Jun–22 Jul)
This month may bring unexpected stops and halts, which you’re encouraged to take as blessings in disguise. Whether it is project pauses or personal disruptions, take these diversions as opportunities to gain a new perspective on a current situation. Your superpower this month is the ability to transform frustration into insight. So, don’t be afraid to shake things up in your routine—try taking different tracks, or embark on a new adventure.

Leo (23 Jul–22 Aug)
May is a month of motion and movement for you. It’s a great time to get things going, but be wary of tiring yourself out. Experiment with ways to keep your concentration strong without burning out. You can have a highly productive month if you know how to pace yourself, so strike while the iron is still hot. Additionally, this month supports short-term travel for you, whether it’s a brief holiday or a business trip.
Virgo (23 Aug–22 Sep)
Pay attention to whether you’re getting enough rest and the overall quality of your sleep. It’s normal to have anxieties, but be careful not to feed into your worst fears. You have the power to untangle yourself from patterns of thinking that hold you back from doing what you want to do. Whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed, focus on the things that are already going well.
Libra (23 Sep–23 Oct)
You’ve got a case to prove and win. Fortune favours the bold, as the saying goes. Similarly, an assertive yet logical attitude towards pursuing your goals will place you in fortune’s favour. Your communication skills will come in extra handy this month. In fact, healthy debate is actively encouraged, as long as you check your facts beforehand. This is the time to work your charm by flexing your powers of persuasion and critical thinking.

Scorpio (24 Oct–21 Nov)
If you’re contemplating between staying and leaving a certain situation, choose the option that makes space for progress, and that creates long-term character development and growth. You might also want to help those around you who are going through their own changes. Whatever your battles are, know that brighter horizons lie ahead when you let go of old baggage.
Sagittarius (22 Nov–21 Dec)
This month, you may face a tricky situation that has no clear solution. It might be tempting to cut corners, but it may not be worth the consequences. At other times, you may over-promise or over-commit to something that you simply cannot handle. So, establish your boundaries and stick to them. Combine strategy with honesty, and face things head-on.
Capricorn (22 Dec–19 Jan)
Your theme of the month is acknowledgement and recognition. You may have just received or will receive validation for your well-deserved efforts. Either way, you’re encouraged to show everyone what you’re made of. Some of you may even attract secret admirers who take a liking to your capabilities. Stay cool, competent and confident.
Aquarius (20 Jan–18 Feb)
May sharpens your decision-making abilities. This is a time to be swift and decisive. Avoidance only prolongs the pain of inertia, so it’s best to make a move when you can. You may feel as if you’re caught between two options, but sometimes, the best decision moving forward is whichever one you choose. Trust that you’ll be able to adapt to whatever situation you find yourself in.
Pisces (19 Feb–20 Mar)
What moves you? This is the month to put on a movie, read a new book, embark on an art workshop, or anything that takes you out of mundane reality. Some of you may receive surprises in the form of new relationships, projects, or serendipitous messages that simply pop into your mind. Expect nothing and embrace everything, especially moments that bring a little whimsy into everyday life.

Aries (21 Mar–19 Apr)
This is a month of tentative beginnings and small steps, so don’t worry about making major mistakes. Whether it is to follow a tried-and-tested method of doing things or go off on your own, remember that you can always change your mind or begin again. Take care not to demand too much of yourself or others—a softer approach this month could do you wonders.
