Aries (March 21-April 19)

It’s time to understand you are supposed to be paying attention to yourself and being a little selfish, Aries. This is the balance that will let others know you deserve to be appreciated like everyone else. Just remember to do things in moderation and take care of yourself, like getting a mani-pedi or going for a walk in Peace Park! The messages you send forth to others will come easier that way.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

May Tauruses, it’s your birthday month! We know you’ve been waiting since last May for this time to arrive, so enjoy it. You may find yourself with an opportunity to embrace your creative spirit. Buy some art supplies or grab a pen and paper to bring your ideas to life. People will “ooh” and “ahh” at what you produce because, well, this month is all about you. The attention won’t stop there; you are sure to have an exciting birthday filled with friends and fun!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Dearest Gemini, it’s time to reach your fullest potential. We foresee that you will ace all of your final exams and projects, using your full creative talents, of course. Don’t be afraid to get thrifty when the going gets tough in your finances. Call on those favors you’ve been saving up to ensure your future remains bright. Reach out to friends for a group study session, or twist a coworker’s arm so you can take the night off work to go out with the girls.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Hey there, Cancers. I know you may not want to, but it’s time to face your responsibilities and depend on yourself. You have to learn to stay grounded and trust your intuition to guide you. Family issues may arise, but make sure to keep your priorities clear or you may find yourself stuck in a corner. Choose what feels best to you and go with the flow.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

How’s that summer job hunting going? Yeah, that’s what I thought. It’s time to start thinking about your near-future plans and taking action. Perhaps apply to a job that fits your interests, such as a barista for the coffee-lovers or camp counselor for the future teachers. Summer may be the best season of your year if you plan accordingly and do something you’re passionate about — you’ll thank us in the long run!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your relationships may get complicated this month, Virgos. When things get hard, remember to communicate your feelings. Bottling them up helps no one and hurts everyone. When the semester ends and you suddenly have a bit more free time on your hands, pick up letter writing to a friend or bullet journaling for yourself. Channeling your feelings on paper can help you communicate them to your friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your family and sibling communication is beyond important in the month of May, Libras. The relationship between you and your siblings may have been changing as of late and will continue to. However, the outcome of these changes will reflect on how you address them. Take it day by day and keep your mind and eyes open.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The saying is true; April showers do bring May flowers. We rained on your parade by telling you to buckle down last month, but we’re happy to tell you to go crazy in May! (Well, maybe not Scorpio crazy. Ask a Cancerian friend what their definition of crazy is.) Put your bundles of energy into creative projects, turn an old foe into a new friend and let your confidence guide you to good vibrations all summer long.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Old issues may bungle your plans this month, but don’t fret! Keep your values in check and your head held high. It’s time to meet some new people (perhaps a love interest?) to widen your social circle. Check out the Papa’s Cat Café book club. Reading may not be your forté, but you may learn a thing or two among the furry tails and coffee mugs.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You thought it was over, Capricorn? Sorry to say the hidden issues you kept hidden are going to surface very soon, but it won’t be as bad as you think. All you have to do is keep moving forward, think before you speak and pay attention to the things happening around you. In the end, everything will be okay!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The best word to describe May is transformative. The universe is calling on you to look inward, and so are we. Decide if the path you are on right now is actually good for you. To find answers, try focusing on yourself rather than what surrounds you. You may not be very keen on our tough love, but addressing this now is necessary. We believe in you!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Bonjour, dearest Pisces! Or should I say aloha? Maybe ciao? Time to spread your wings and fly this summer — literally! With safety restrictions loosening around the world, the stars are telling you to let loose yourself. Give that little travel bug living inside you a bit of attention. Whether it’s Paris, France or Paris, Missouri, you’re sure to have a blast.
