May Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

This is definitely an exciting and transformative period of time for you, Scorpio. Your month starts with a bang, not a whimper. You are evaluating the importance of relationship in your life, and simultaneously equally concerned with making your own splash in the world of action and events. A somewhat stressful beginning two weeks of May leads to a more graceful finish after the mid-month New Moon in your opposite sign, implying that new energy is available for managing the significant relationships in your life, an activity that progresses in distinct stages over the final two weeks of the month. In the end you will find a plethora of new ideas both for partnership concerns and also for finding your footing amidst the changing tides of career and financial issues.

As the month begins, you are involved with outer and also with inner priorities. It is an interesting mix that you have created for yourself, as symbolized by the planetary alignments in your chart, with Mercury retrograding through your partnership sector at the very same time that your ruler Mars is emphasized in your sector of career and of public stage achievement. There is potentially a degree of tension in your preferences now, and also plenty of food for thought. You are spending many a quiet hour engaged in reviewing and revising your concept of relationship and how it manifests and contributes to your life energy, and how it sometimes traps and overly engages you as well. This process of reassessment applies to partnerships of all kinds, both business and personal. Then also, with the Last Quarter Moon of Wednesday, May 5th, you are very engaged in making your way forward in the world, and in feeling the variance surrounding these concerns that in some fashion conflict with each other. You might be discovering at this time the flaws rather than the successes in your arrangements and do well to simply take the information in, without judgment, as the seed material for considering a wider set of choices that might ultimately be available to you. The New Moon, when it comes along in the following week, taking place on Thursday, May 13th, could exacerbate these issues or else could more positively succeed in sparking your movement forward into something like compromise with regard to all the factors at play within your complex psyche at this time. You are in some ways very other-oriented right now, aware of significant partners as contributors to your own efforts to plumb the depths of your experience and to shine more brightly while doing so. Of course the open secret is that your own path forward is yours and yours alone, as you discover the ways that the information that comes to you through the agency of others matches your understanding of your own situation and the groundwork that you must lay to take the next step forward. The last two weeks of the month, punctuated by the First Quarter Moon of Thursday, May 20th, will be spent in working out what you truly need and what is incidental to your journey. Then the Full Moon nearly at month's end will represent the full flowering of what you are intending in this cycle. This is a time of integration of self and other, and a time of finding greater confidence and greater clarity regarding your own way forward, in spite of difficulties.
