Aries Horoscope for May 2012

You are getting serious, Aries. This is an important time of spiritual awakening and resurgence, a continuation of what has been going on all year. This month, your values are the foundation that serves to ground you, with significant partners providing additional ballast. Your ideas and your intuition are sizzling. Since your mentality is so high-flying, engendering concepts that are not only fresh, but, more important, tailored to your own specialized arc of development and growth, it becomes increasingly important that they be grounded into some kind of concrete action. You are seeking to forge a unique amalgamation of Spirit and real-world concerns that will take you forward without in the process losing too much of what you truly desire for yourself, as you make your way forward with your highest intention.

As the month begins, you are very attuned to the cosmic energies that surround this pivotal time on planet earth, and feeling it on some profound level although perhaps not in an entirely conscious way. In this late spring and early summer timeframe your sense of personal identity is changing rapidly, that is to say, the way that you define yourself to others and even to yourself. You are striving for a more compassionate stance and value set, while your real-world presence and your career motivation in general is also in the midst of a major transformation. At base, you seek a deeper commitment to your life that involves working within the societal matrix in such a way as to advance your own evolutionary goals – which turn out as well to be the evolutionary goals of the society in general – rather than suppress them. You win by paying all the attention that you can to what is going on beneath the more obvious surface of your mind and heart. Your challenge is to integrate these deeper feelings with the necessity of earning your daily bread, and of keeping up with normal existence and your relationships also, even though with a significant part of your psyche you are facing enormous pressures for meaningful change. It is a mistake to go entirely over to one way or the other; a delicate balance is required to stay sane and maintain your stake in the ordinary world while continuing to honor the intense inner shifts that are taking place within you. The Full Moon that comes along on Saturday, May 5th, symbolizes a time when you will be more emotionally aware of your process of spiritual evolution as you continue to seek balance. With a part of your personality you are one-pointed in following a deeply intuitional place toward something that is revolutionary in your life and that could lead you toward extremes if you let it, so that it is good to allow grace to take a role. It helps when you recognize that it does not have to be all up to you, that the natural process of the cosmos is there to hold you up. With the advent of the Last Quarter Moon a week later, taking place on Saturday, May 12th, you are entering into a process of questioning everything that has been going on with you, and of allowing a voice to the natural caution that you feel at leaving the past behind. You are feeling the excitement of the changes that are moving through you at this time, and of making the right choice in honoring the urge to also hold back from them. The golden mean of the middle way might be your best guidepost now, as well as freedom from worrying about what is happening to you so long as you do your best. With the Solar Eclipse and New Moon of Sunday, May 20th, you enter into a new stage of your journey, one that is more focused on reaching out to others around you. This could be a good time to share with others the information that you have gleaned over the past few weeks, even though you are still trying to come to terms with what it might really mean for long-term. The process of discussion helps you to keep your footing in the transformed world that you find yourself inhabiting.
