May Horoscopes

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

You are in the midst of another month of graceful epiphany, Sagittarius, accompanied by the hard work of taking your realizations to the next level of actualizing them. This entire year is a profound time in many ways for you. As your values shift and the way you manage your resources morphs in tandem, you benefit by communicating your deepest intention to others around you. Partnership is powerful as the month unfolds, and revising your approach in that area leads to interesting reconceptualizing of your path forward. Service to the local community and to humanity at large becomes your mantra for this cycle as you explore the interface between Spirit and ordinary life. What begins to dawn on you is � contrary to the consensus viewpoint � their essential oneness.

As the month begins, you are feeling yourself reborn, especially with regard to your creativity and for how you see yourself plugging in to society around you and enacting your own unique destiny for this lifetime. You have been working hard at achieving your aims for lo, these many weeks now, and perhaps the time has come to step back and consider where you are going and why. This is the season of your ascendancy but everything has to take time to breathe and to balance. The retrograde of Mercury through your partnership sector ensures that you will be subject to reflection on exactly where that area of your life is leading you. The opening week of May, leading up to the Full Moon, is a time of gathering energy when you are exploring what does and doesn�t work for you right now, and the tension between these viewpoints. This is also a time when Mercury is simultaneously slowing to a standstill, meaning that your forward momentum is many areas of your life could also become slowed and introspective. The Full Moon that takes place on Friday, May 8th, is an important crux of time when you are cautiously optimistic about the future while preparing for the changes that you sense coming. Since Mercury is moving backwards since the 6th, it is also a good time to reflect on things and perhaps even to journal or discuss your situation. Your communication with others is excited, mystical and wise at this time, and also reveals the places where you might feel slightly hesitant about truly stepping up to the plate with what you believe and fully unlocking your tremendous potential. The Last Quarter Moon of the following weekend is another occasion for getting your ideas out, in one form or another, and exploring your dark as well as your light places. The New Moon in your opposite sign takes place one week later, on Sunday, May 24th, and represents a fresh start with partnership and with your own sense of purpose and security. You are very involved with significant others in your life at this time, and with taking a closer look at your relationship dynamic and how it lines up with your own way forward. When you closely examine the significance of others in your life and their contributions to the arc of your own development it makes a crystal-like alignment with the other quickening parts of yourself to form a graceful whole.
