"Mirror, mirror on the wall," yes, take a look and smile, for you're not that bad after all. Smile, and enjoy the first part of May shared feasts and pampering with those you care for and who care for you. Later in the month of May, a light will be shone on a dark, scared and/or depressed part of someone you care for. Once upon a time you might you might not have been ready to accept this or even equipped to help. But now, with what recent years have taught you, there is the will and knowledge to work with them and help them in their battle.

Don't fight it anymore. Twelve months ago you thought there was still hope and life in a situation, be it job, relationship or ideals. Whatever it was, the winter really brought things to a head. Around the time of the full moon on 23rd June, you could get very intense and dark, but it will pass, and as it does you will willingly know it is time to let go. Release it, let all dissolve with no hate, no despair. Just pack it away and say thanks for the lesson, no matter how hard that is, and look forward to sunrise and new beginnings. More next time.

You've done a lot and come a long way from where you were a while ago. Warmer days and longer days are just what are needed to get all done that your life now decrees. Mid-term there will be a burst of enthusiasm to space-clear, as a different perspective dawns upon your life. Numerous tasks are of a more productive, fulfilling kind. Just make sure you do not overdo it, and keep your emotions in check around the time of the full moon on 23rd June. Seriously, let it pass, as your pincers could strike and could take you off track. 

Are you in the mood to party? Any warm days and there will not be any holding you back! Around the time of the full moon on 25th May, you could have a real devil-may-care attitude and, so long as you harm no one intentionally, this could be a great time. For those who are single, this could be a good time for romancing and fun. Any new encounters and who knows where it could go. Perhaps for some of you a blast from the past or overwhelming feelings of nostalgia could catch you off guard, but in a special, poignant way. 

So, where do you want to go? What do you want to experience, away from the norm? Since the spring, you have been getting back on track. The home, from daily set ups to where it is and how it looks, is in line for a change. Some part of that last sentence will resonate and you're ready for a re-vamp. This will be a stark reflection of where and how you are evolving. Around 23rd June, you could temporarily become fixated on something that you have overheard or read, which could darken skies and mood. Take no heed or action, for it has no real substance. 

Shake up and wake up is how this summer will begin for you, shackles and suspicions cut away. You are able to stand back and take a broader view of the last twelve months. This will put you in better shape for when Jupiter moves into Cancer at the end of June (more on this next time, for he will be there for about a year). For now, your inner PR team will be doing some thoughtful re-thinking. You will be taking a serious look at your finances and other resources that could give you a bleak moment, but your Libran scales will find a good balance. 

Primary relationships of all kinds will be very much in focus from May through to early June. Primary ones could be your spouse, long-term partner, closest friends or even your boss. Also, this can relate to open enemies. Feelings of real love and connection will be there or given a boost. If things have been strained, then there will be a good chance of having those talks and time getting the trust, the truthful essence of the relationship back on track in a forward-thinking manner not the slinging of things done and gone.

Live to work or work to live? The daily grind for you now brings pleasure, with the satisfied nods from whoever, telling you that you are doing right. These endeavours will have demonstrated a higher degree of competence. If relationships have been strained at work, or because of work, then by early June any issues could have been negotiated and sorted out in your favour. Through it could be a promotion and/or a pay rise with good long-term prospects. Around the full moon in June, you could be plagued with a haunting from the past. It's just a memory, not a prophecy. 

Whatever your art, wherever you express your creativity, in early summer there will be a receptor that receives a wonderful signal that will serve as a muse. Run with it and play. Nightmares of your inner secret world can be released as innovative fuel. Mid-term, so enthused, you'll be busy getting life straighter, so you can create a better ambience for the new impetus. Just keep your nearest and dearest in the picture, but you'll have an awareness of playing your cards close to your chest when it comes to close outsiders. You've been undermined before and it'll be right to keep quiet for a time.

Home has been a strange place, for the winter and spring were unsettled, as upheavals and discord of some description made things uncomfortable and chilly. As summer begins, so does a better sense of comfort, and warmth returns. Your mood becomes more buoyant and more optimistic than it has been for some time. Alongside this, your priorities become more defined, but not confined. A few tussles over working out and the sharing of daily chores and responsibilities will help implement clear strategies as you try to get on. The full moon in June could bring on an intense emotional moment, which will act as thoughtful food. 

Been a bit out of sorts, confused, buffeted about? Then early summer warmth will be a tonic. Comforting words and invitations from unlikely sources will come to you. There will be apologies for not believing you, not being there and supporting you. Stagnant situations at home will shift up a gear, and healthier exchanges will see some action and not just empty words. Once all this has happened, you will feel more confident, energised to engage in some bold plans. One of the keys to fun and the future will be children that are here now, part of your world, or news of one to come.

Early in the month of May, any frantic activity during spring will have settled down. Make the most of a few weeks of contented stability. This will go a long way towards boosting your confidence in the decisions you made back in the spring. By the time of the full moon on 25th May, this theme will be giving you itchy feet to go away on a break. Book a course to further cement your ideas. Your mind will be alive and jumping, but try to keep it honed in on only a few particulars and don't be a victim of too much information.
