Here’s what the stars have in store for you in May

Read your sign’s horoscope prediction to know what this month looks like for you

As we enter May with mercury retrograde going on to mid-May, it’s natural to feel frustrated. While there will be a lot going on externally, internally you will feel stuck with your own emotions. It’s important to be practical rather than emotional this month. Practise gratitude so you can shift your awareness to what is working for you rather than victimising yourself. Overall, May will be fast moving post-14th, and you will realise that you were probably stressing over nothing at all.

Aries (March 21-April 19)This month, the energy cycles will give you a much-needed break. While work will be hectic, travel is indicated between 5-19th May, which will be very beneficial.  You may even think of hiring or working with new people this month. If you are looking at expanding your work, post 18th May is when you might get clarity. Work will slow down after the 23rd, giving you time to be more organised. Finances will be slow till 4th May, following which abundance will flow in. You may get pending payments after 11th May. Your health will need attention between 10-18th May and after  27th May. Family will need attention between 15th-21st May as some members may turn to you for advice or emotional support. Your partner’s health will need attention around 22nd-28th May. Avoid friction between 7-11th May. Social life will be very hectic till 17th May, after which you will consciously slow down.Karmic tip: Prioritise your life.
