May Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Sagittarius Horoscope (November 22 - December 21)
Mutable Fire. Your ruling planet is Jupiter.

This is an important month for you, Sagittarius. You are focusing on improving your outer-world style and substance, moving closer in the process to your soul's true purpose. In a joyously healthy development, communication trauma that has arisen from the peer-to-peer interactions of early childhood may be fading into the woodwork to be replaced by more functional patterns of interaction. The remarkable degree of changeability in your life lately represents a mixed blessing. On the one hand your sense of sanctuary including financial security is fluctuating, while on the other, a log-jam may be breaking up that has been preventing meaningful growth, providing you breathing room for even more profound transformation than you have seen thus far.

As the month begins, you are feeling the limitations of your outer world situation, and tuning in to deeper realities that help to open up the contrast between success in the eyes of the world and true inner satisfaction. Your resources in general have been on your mind lately. With finances fluctuating right now the natural question arises as to what extent you depend upon material rewards as a definition of self-worth. This is certainly one lesson that these powerful and transformative times will help you to sort out. You are also likely to be feeling the instability of the moving platform rather than the comfort of stable ground beneath your feet right now in other ways as well. Perhaps family dynamics may be shifting for you in ways that are uncomfortable at times. If so, it pays to keep your mind on the highest good that can come of whatever is going on. There is usually a silver lining if you look for it with your accustomed optimistic attitude. The New Moon of Monday, May 5th, provides further food for thought, and more in the form of questions rather than answers. You have loads of energy to be off and running right now but there may be confusion in regard to which direction to take. A turn toward the inside can certainly be valuable in these matters. Information from important partners in your life can also be helpful in this way, as you begin to feel the excitement of new ideas and the possibility for perspectives to shift, and mental openings and even breakthroughs to occur. The First Quarter Moon of a week later, taking place on Sunday, May 11th, is a testing time as well. Your ruler Jupiter retrogrades from May 9th onwards, so that this period may be a more internal one for you, as you attempt to discover solutions or even the right queries to begin with. The Full Moon of the following week, on Monday, May 19th, emphasizes limitation over freedom of movement, and clarity over confusion, although both factors are in the mix for you right now. When Mercury retrogrades in the last week of the month you will find yourself driven further toward introspection. At this time you could find that relationship becomes a focus with emphasis on past successes and failures, as history could in part repeat itself or the universe provide new factors for you to fathom.
