May Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Libra Horoscope (September 23 - October 22)
Cardinal Air. Your ruling planet is Venus.

This month is a strong one for you, Libra. There have been surprises, and there might be even more coming your way, especially relationship-wise. Changes like these go better when they are not resisted, although they provide you with much food for thought and perhaps even a few more wrinkles in the fabric of your ongoing personal evolution. If you resist what comes up for you at this time you will suffer, that's just the way of change. But you sail through if you allow things to unfold without trying to steer the unknowable outcome. Throughout these relative trials, you are keeping what the British call a "stiff upper lip;" this serves you well and keeps you on a steadier course than you might otherwise adopt, but everything is best in moderation, even restraint.

As the month begins, you are in the midst of a complexity of relationship dynamics that enhance the great depth of your own development. It is as though you were traversing a difficult mountain pass – but with the promise of a relatively peaceful as well as fruitful valley awaiting you – and these powerful relationship connections help you to get across. You are changing these days at the very core of your being, and with the advent of this climactic spring and summer even more so. You are in an interesting place right now of looking to the past as well as the future, and holding back from necessary changes even as you embrace them. With the New Moon of late Monday evening, May 2nd, there is terrific energy for your process of growth and integration, as well as for the more cautious and conservative part of yourself that resists change. Significant partners in your life continue to be very important to your own success. You are forging a link right now between your own inner work and the outside perspectives that significant others bring to the picture. Your slightly cynical skepticism that is part and parcel of your basic makeup these days serves as a balance point for your extreme idealism regarding where you desire to place your energies for the good of all. Both these impulses are very active now, which can be confusing, so that you succeed best when you make yourself available to the widest of possible perspectives. The First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, May 10th, places a few bumps in your path that might alert you to where you need to make further refinements in your approach. An essentially joyous point of view and the encouragement of others in your life help you to see the bigger picture of these relatively minor setbacks. With the Full Moon a week later, taking place on Tuesday, May 17th, you are coming into your own, and inhabiting your emerging future self in a more whole and integrated way. The days following this important turning point lead you to more fully embrace the changes that are resonating through others into the very core of your being. You are investigating closeness with significant partners in you life in a new way now, and this exploration paradoxically takes you further into your own transformation. The Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, May 24th, brings you to important realizations regarding the impact of important others on your own life, and the way your own process is illuminated thereby. You are looking back right now as well as forward, summing up the lessons of the previous three weeks of the cycle. Your changing beliefs over the course of the month provide vistas that rather than closure, lead to new openings.
