May Horoscopes

Scorpio Horoscope (October 23 - November 21)
Fixed Water. Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto.

You are setting the bar a little higher this month, Scorpio. Your presence in the world carries more weight than it used to, breaking previous records. Success is definitely within your grasp right now, but it takes working at it diligently. Partnership concerns play a pivotal role for you in forging the career ties that are necessary to achieve your goals. That plus talking a good hard look inside yourself to see where you might be caught, and how those ancient patterns of behavior that no longer serve you could even be holding you back.

As the month begins, what is very much on your mind are the significant partners in your life. You are coming to your relationship patterns from a different standpoint lately, getting an entirely new perspective based on taking a good hard look at the very core of your personality. There are issues that you haven't been able, or perhaps willing, to face until now, ways that you inhabit your world that go back to your childhood roots. There may be knee-jerk reactions to authority stemming from this earlier time, when you were less competent to handle the trials of life, that might be affecting the way you handle your relationships up to and including the present day. Some creative tension comes into the mix at the time of the First Quarter Moon of Thursday evening, May 4th. This the crux of a period when you are very focused on your work in the world, and there may be conflicts between your public and your private persona that come up for you right now. You are testing what is possible in terms of relationship that partakes of the bigger picture viewpoint of your existence as a whole. The Full Moon period of time, culminating on the evening of Friday, May 12th, might bring surprising insights to your process. You are almost lost at this time in your inner awareness, feeling at one with all of nature, possibly also with important partners in your life, and dealing at the very same time with competing forces of merging and staying separate, tending your own garden. These issues could perhaps come to a head along the way to the Gemini New Moon near month's end, on Friday, May 26th, when you are attempting an adjustment to your security needs and a fresh start on patterns of intimacy. There are cosmic forces essentially on your side that your willful nature is coming up against, struggling against the tide, and things might go better for you when you allow for the possibility of instead aligning your inner self along with them.
