  May 2023 | July 2023    The Month in Brief | Year Ahead in 2012

Tue May 1: May Day

The month of May is named after the ancient Roman goddess Maia, the wife of Mars and mother of Mercury. Macho Mars is conjunct the Moon in sweet Virgo, and May Day is the traditional time for young couples to pair off (at least for the day!). As the Goat is noted for randy urges, now's the time to follow them. Tonight is a great night for a get together with friends over a fiery foreign feast and for making a romantic connection, perhaps with a slinky stranger or a fascinating foreigner. Read more on May Day. Favorable colors are charcoal and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 11 and 8.

Wed May 2: Wily Seagoats

You are even more charming than usual, Capricorn. You know what you want, even if you're not saying, and will use all your wiles to bring others around to your way of thinking. If you can keep your ulterior motives out of sight then all will be well. You are having quite a profound, almost unseen, influence on the people around you because of the strength of your personality. Maybe you are stronger than you give yourself credit for. Auspicious colors are chestnut and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 3 and 59.

Thu May 3: Nurturing Moon

The Moon is nurturing and motherly now, and sitting on your midheaven for a couple of days. It is nudging you into being more protective of those around you. The more you give, the more everyone appreciates you, so try looking on the bright side. You cope well with situations which are out of the ordinary but you might make normal situations more difficult than they need to be. Favorable colors are sage green and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 18 and 67.

Fri May 4: Feet On The Ground

This is not the day to tackle any simmering resentments, as you don't feel strong enough to insist on getting your own way. Nor is it a great time for business matters or anything that requires attention to detail. Your need to be sympathetic and generous could get in the way of common sense. Being concerned with material matters is beneath you at the moment, but keep your feet on the ground. Alluring colors are sunflower yellow and cornflower blue. Lucky numbers are 6 and 63.

Sat May 5: Full Moon

Seek balance and variety in your life under this lively Moon. Take time with loved ones but also with casual acquaintances. You need to sort out the situation in a sensible way and take constructive steps to find the information this will require. Is there a mystery that you want to get to the bottom of? Get below the surface layer of reality, right down to the essence of things. Excellent colors are smoky quartz and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 11 and 15.

Sun May 6: Wind Down

Your open, friendly and enthusiastic manner is attracting a really positive response. There is a danger you could become narrowminded if you get too involved in pet causes, but your uncanny knack of seeing what will happen in the future is pointing you in the right direction. Your thoughts tend to go off in ten different directions at once. Don't overpack your schedule or get too wound up. Fortunate colors are apricot and bright gold. Lucky numbers are 13 and 56.

Mon May 7: Less Strain

Partners will be energetic and at times quite fiery, so stay on your toes. Throw your energy into joint co-operative ventures. If you pull together you can achieve a great deal more than you would solo, and it will also avoid those eyeball-to-eyeball confrontations that waste good energy. Sell yourself with more vigor. Positive colors are silver and lavender. Lucky numbers are 4 and 13.

Tue May 8: Think Things Through

Pull back from company and rushing around, Cap. Protect your emotional state and find a chance to mull over personal matters. Play your cards close to your chest. Companions are also preoccupied, as they are tied up in what they are doing. If you are feeling blue, head into your own space to think things through. Beneficial colors are amethyst and indigo. Lucky numbers are 12 and 10.

Wed May 9: Fun Loving

Review your work and see which commitments you can unload for a few days. Children and loved ones will bring you more pleasure than usual and you will thoroughly enjoy playing their games.

Thu May 10: Razor Sharp

Get your feelings out into the open, Goats, for the Moon's in your sign, increasing your natural power.

Use your talent for research to ferret out fascinating bits of information. Your mind is razor sharp. Excellent colors are lavender and crimson. Lucky numbers are 6 and 9.

Fri May 11: Lift Your Spirits

Don't let your emotions get in the way of reason, because you're not thinking as clearly as usual. Talking incessantly about trivia is a no-no, Your mates can't follow your drift. Sort out your priorities and decide what you really need. If you are tempted to think that money is the only thing that matters, there are other things that can lift your spirits when you are low. Advantageous colors are mulberry and cream. Lucky numbers are 7 and 14.

Sat May 12: Erratic Moods

Energetic companions attract you at the moment and you'll achieve a great deal in joint efforts if you can stop arguing between yourselves.

Why not reorganize at home or stir up a bit of action elsewhere? Auspicious colors are amethyst and golden brown. Lucky numbers are 2 and 62.

Sun May 13: Share The Bliss

Mothers Day comes but once a year, and this year it should be a delight. Beautiful aspects grace the cosmos and fall across your chart in the most delightful way.

Fortunate colors are spring green and creamy ivory. Lucky numbers are 5 and 10.

Mon May 14: Edgy Feeling

If you're feeling restless, don't project your anger onto others and make yourself feel badly done by. Stand up for yourself and take control. Put yourself across with vigor and you'll make them realize they need to pull their weight. Try not to throw all your emotional needs into work, since it will make you seem stand-offish on social occasions. Others will find you reserved but won't always know how shy or even pre-occupied you really are. Fortunate colors are dark green and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 37 and 2.

Tue May 15: Venus Retrograde

As Venus begins her retro dance you become more reserved in expressing your romantic needs. An office romance, or social event connected with co-workers may be on your agenda, but expect some discomfort in these areas. Review and rethink how you interact, setting the stage for positive changes. Make more effort to break the ice and show your inner warmth. A new diet and physical fitness program, or beauty treatments, a new hair style, dental work, and cosmetic surgery would normally be favoured, but unless you have already planned the procedures it might be better to leave these until Venus turns direct in June. Fortunate colors are silver and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 5 and 6.

Wed May 16: The Broader Picture

Are you ignoring certain details in your determination to see the broader picture? Careful planning and long term vision will let things will work out. Just remember to keep your feet on the ground. When you get the chance to have a private moment in peace and quiet, you can think about personal matters that have been tucked into the background. Give yourself time to mull over the past: if you let things come to the surface, you can really sort them out. Expressive colors are pale gold sienna and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 6 and 17.

Thu May 17: Flying Solo

Sat May 19: Chatty Moon

Sat May 26: More Intense

Remember that companions may not be moving quite at your speed. Delightful colors are yellow ochre and buckwheat. Lucky numbers are 37 and 30.

Mon May 28: Shrug It Off
