May Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

This is a confusing period of time for you Sagittarius, and yet also an extremely rewarding one if you take the time to look more closely within. You are discovering a truly expanded sense of who you really are, in concert with your angel guidance. Everything remains the same and yet everything has changed. There is an element of looking ahead with breathless anticipation and also one of slowly feeling into a more conservative streak that honors the past and its limitations. You are in fact both consolidating the insights that have been coming at you fast and furious lately, and simultaneously launching yourself forward into the world in an entirely different way than with previous growth spurts, so that you are this time on more solid ground.

As the month begins, you are very committed to the idea of home and family and nesting, and yet also terribly confused about what exactly that might mean in the final analysis for your life as a whole. You are feeling impulsive lately and yet also somehow reigned in, as though the dreams that want to be expressed through your intended actions were almost too much to allow yourself to fully contemplate. You are sensing a powerful connection between yourself and others around you, a recognition that your activity has consequences beyond the scope of your own narrow sense of self. You are taking a warrior stance in accomplishing what you feel must now be accomplished. This turns out to have spiritual implications so that your mission goes beyond the ordinary world of daily events and duties. The New Moon of late Monday evening, May 2nd, illuminates these other-worldly concerns and brings fresh energy to your sense of purpose. This is a time when you strongly feel that you are put here upon this earth for some important reason, although it might seem to be a reason that evades you for the moment. Still, you know in your heart that there are serious consequences to the choices that you are currently making, and future implications beyond what you can currently understand. With the First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, May 10th, you are experiencing a further refinement of your process. You are perhaps at this important juncture perceiving what does and does not seem to want to work itself out with what you are attempting. You are in a very interesting emotional as well as mental place right now, and everything is bound to be a bit messy and uncertain. If you have the faith to plunge ahead anyway you will be rewarded, but this faith must also be tempered with an ounce of caution, or else you might go too far in the direction of your momentary enthusiasm. A tight rope walk is required whereby you take care with each of your bold steps forward into a largely unknown future without abandoning, through fear, the entire enterprise. The Full Moon a week later, on Tuesday, May 17th, provides some relief, as you reach the culmination of one stage and the beginning of another. You are more confirmed than ever in your choices now, and are beginning to more fully appreciate how they contribute to your sense of mission. You can see, although only out of the corner of your eye, how you are growing into the world in a way that contributes directly to it as well as to yourself as a solitary unit. Partners in your life start to come into the picture now as well, providing a different perspective that energizes and enhances your own, and as models for interaction with the world at large. With the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, May 24th, you are coming into a new and more subtle relationship with family and significant partners and with others around you generally. This last full week of the month might be a strange and difficult but potentially joyous time, when you are trying to sort out exactly what is going on with you. You will not entirely succeed but the universe is on your side and it will come out all right in the end.
