Monthly horoscope: May 2019

Read your 2019 horoscope predictions: for love, for luck, for career and for money

What if we said nothing is written in stone and that you have the power to create the future as you move along? Think of the tarot as a master card to this future—one that provides deep insights into your journey through a mystical maze of images, words, colours, symbols, and numbers. But it’s not all mumbo-jumbo! The tarot is a very practical tool to gain absolute clarity on where you are standing, where you want to go and how to get there. By that logic, this is both a Monthly Horoscope and guidance, empowering you to make better decisions and write that bestseller called your life, in collaboration with the Universe.

Aries horoscope today

Work and career

What’s the common denominator in the people you admire? Unwavering faith in their dreams and the courage to fight for what they believe. The cards are reminding you of your capacity to get up and show up—despite how you are feeling at the moment. Miles to go before you sleep, Aries. The balancing act could show up as your biggest challenge this month. Your personal projects are not at odds with your professional responsibilities. How you manage your time promises to change the game for you.

Love and relationships

To love fully is to risk having your heart broken. Should that hinder you from delving into the murky realm of emotions? Anything but. This month, you discover the joy of surrendering your armour and embracing your vulnerable nature. Aries, you are more courageous than you give yourself credit for. But don’t let love be the reason you continue to nurture the people who don’t make you feel reciprocated. Give where you receive, wild one. Drawing healthy boundaries will ensure you are safe and protected.

Goddess guidance

Mawu, the West African Moon Goddess, is awakening your inner Earth warrior. How can you live in harmony with nature? How can you ensure your needs are taken care of without harming the environment around you? Make a difference in your own small way.

Taurus horoscope today

Work and career

In a world fuelled by competition and power games, you find a way to remain true to your message and create from a space of love. Don’t make the dark clouds of disillusionment make you question the foundation on which you have built your life or walk away from what you have created. The key to your survival? Perspective. Allow yourself to take a sabbatical. This will help you return to your throne with a greater degree of commitment to your cause.

Love and relationships

Taurus, what you have is the definition of perfect. Yet, your soul is longing for more. Could the cliche of distance and perspective apply to your personal life as well? If you’ve been thinking about embarking upon your own version of Eat, Pray, Love, there couldn’t be a better time to explore the unexplored terrain within. The only thing you want to mindful of is communicating the space you’re in to your loved ones instead of going MIA.

Goddess guidance

Goddess Coventina is facilitating the cleanse and purge that’s taking place on the subconscious level. Be conscious of what you are putting into your body because this is a time of spiritual ascension.

Gemini horoscope today

Work and career

A Maya Angelou favourite: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Where are you vibrating at, Gemini? What energy are you putting into the world? Could the conflict within you be creating chaos without? Choose to see the love and light in every situation. When you embody kindness and compassion, you will find that others respond to you in the same manner.

Love and relationships

What you have is sacred and beautiful. Nurture it, wild one. Take pride in watching it grow. If you’ve been dating each other for a while, take things to the next level. But don’t wait for them to talk about the tough stuff—like shared finances, for instance. There’s so much more to merging your life than finding a dream destination for your big day. PS: Remember, the hindrances you are experiencing on your path are transient in nature.

Goddess guidance

Impatience is not a virtue. Surrender to the flow of life. Everything is taking place at the perfect time, Goddess Oonagh assures you.

Cancer horoscope today

Work and career

It’s easy to tell strangers where they stand. But what happens when somebody we love starts to dishonour us or disrespect our space? Learn to be open and honest, Cancer. Change the way you communicate. Others will see things from our perspective only if we allow them to. Remember, the power of manifestation is within you. Meditate upon the positive changes you would like to see in your work environment. You’re being asked to sow the seeds of peace and harmony with the right intention.

Love and relationships

The Universe is asking for clarity, Cancer. Again, reflect upon the values that are important to you. The things you desire to manifest in your outer world. If you’re using love as an excuse to put up with less-than-perfect relationships, this month could bring with itself a wake up call. Stop repeating old patterns, moon child. Stop resisting the change. More importantly, stop giving others the power to cause you harm in any way. Choosing yourself is not a crime despite what you have grown up to believe.

Goddess guidance

“The romantic stirrings of your heart have propelled the Universe to deliver great love to you,” says Guinevere. Sometime this requires you to let go of that which is no longer in alignment with your soul.

Leo horoscope today

Work and career

Summer is upon us, Leo. But don’t forget the cold winter that preceded the beautiful blossom. This month, you are being asked to accept the dual nature of everything. To embrace the ebb like you would the flow. Despite the outward appearance, everything is unfolding according to the divine timeline. For now, give into your need for solitude and soul retrieval. Focus on replenishing the creative reserves. If you are dealing with pain—physical or otherwise—remind yourself that even warriors are allowed to rest.

Love and relationships

If you don’t know where you are going, no road will take you there. Clarity, Leo, clarity. What are the values that are sacred to you? How do you envision the future of this relationship? It’s only when you spell it out to yourself that you will able to express your needs to another person. Could trust issues be holding you back from experiencing joy and harmony? Talk about the tough stuff, no matter how challenging the conversation.

Goddess guidance

Brigit, the Celtic Goddess, is known as the fiery protector. She’s asking you to stand up for your truth and pursue that which is sacred to you—despite the odds.

Virgo horoscope today

Work and career

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper,” wrote W B Yeats. Rekindle your lost sense of adventure, dear Virgo. Allow yourself to let your hair down without an agenda of any sort. What the cards are asking you to embrace this month: joy and playfulness. This will give your creations that otherworldly flavour. Your people skills are super sharp at this moment. Use this to your advantage by connecting with the right people and establishing a stronger network.

Love and relationships

Orgasms are great, but have you ever gone furniture shopping with your beloved? Or spent the weekend in bed watching Netflix and sharing popcorn? Virgo, you want to be with somebody who wants to be your Saturday evening as well as Sunday morning. Somebody who is looking for more than just physical intimacy. But here’s the thing: they could be just as scared as you are to broach the subject. Don’t let that stop you from taking the lead.

Goddess guidance

If and when past wounds show up, tap into Goddess Ixchel’s energy. She will help you channel your inner medicine women and release the trauma.

Libra horoscope today

Work and career

A Wayne Dyer quote to awaken you: “When you move into a spiritual approach to life, you begin to see yourself as connected to everyone and everything, and competition is replaced by something called cooperation.” Where are you vibrating at, Libra? Choosing to see others as your co-passengers on this journey is sure to bring about a positive shift in your professional relationships. Besides, you are already a leader in your field. Continue to move forward and onwards. You have nothing to prove to anybody.

Love and relationships

Oh, the privilege of being loved. Libra, don’t forget to give thanks for the good, even when you find yourself weighed down by the dark clouds. Choosing to see the good in yourself and others could be the secret to transforming the most complex relationships. On the upside, this month brings with itself the opportunity to deepen your commitment. If you’re done ‘playing the field’, let them know how you feel. Overheard at the cosmic conference: it’s time to grow roots where the land was once barren.

Goddess guidance

Sekhmet, the Egyptian sun goddess who is known for her fiercely protective nature, is reminding you of your inherent power. The power to triumph over your circumstances lies with you.

Scorpio horoscope today

Work and career

You are in the right place at the right time making all the right moves. No wonder your career graph is witnessing steady progress. But you didn’t get her alone. You’ve had an army cushioning your fall. Acknowledge the co-passengers who worked selflessly to help you achieve your targets. Humility is indeed a virtue, Scorpio. Choosing to create from the space of your heart rather than the ego will ensure an inward and upwards spiral.

Love and relationships

Don’t make love the reason you let somebody disempower or disrespect you in any way. If you are in a partnership of ‘convenience’, this month will bring with itself a wake-up call. It is up to you to make the required course correction. Scorpio, choose somebody who makes magic, not excuses. For some of you, intimacy—rather the lack of it—could pose as a problem. Remember, it all starts with you. Once you put your armour down, you partner will do the same.

Goddess guidance

Have you been indulging in excesses of any sort? The Celtic Water Goddess Coventina is urging you to embrace purification rituals that will help you detox on a mind-body-soul level.

Sagittarius horoscope today

Work and career

When they look at you, they see a perfect picture. But only you know the pain you have endured on this journey and the failures you have taken in your stride. That’s the definition of growth, Sagittarius. Your task in the days to come is to continue to learn from past mistakes. This will ensure you make your way to the mountain top with grace. But don’t expect to emerge victorious overnight (we all know how impatient you can get with success). A mantra that will serve you well: ‘slow and steady wins the race’.

Love and relationships

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” A Brené Brown favourite for the uninitiated. When in doubt, allow yourself to be vulnerable, knowing fully well that you are putting your heart on the line by expressing your feelings to another person. But what’s the fun in playing hide and seek with your own emotions? Coupled Sagittarians, May brings with itself the reminder that everything needs work. Even the most beautiful garden needs to be tended to. See where you are out of sync with each other and focus on building bridges. PS: Don’t underestimate the power of compromise and meeting each other halfway.

Goddess guidance

Courage and vulnerability are synonymous. Aine, the Celtic Goddess, reminds you of the power of getting up and showing up, no matter how many times you have fallen.

Capricorn horoscope today

Work and career

It’s easy to draw boundaries when dealing with strangers. It’s easy to express ourselves clearly where there are no emotional attachments. What happens when somebody throws our loved ones into the mix? This month, you’re going to be working very closely with the soul fam. Trust that this is a good thing, for there is no limit to how much magick you can make when you are in sync. But the only way to arrive at that place called love is by being more open and vulnerable with each other, in every single way.

Love and relationships

Love and freedom. Freedom and love. Two sides of the same coin, wild one. See how and where you are holding your beloved back from being the most authentic version of themselves. Conversely, if you’re the one feeling stifled, open the channels of communication. Practicing active listening will help you bridge the gap that’s keeping you apart. Exploring your sexual freedom will be just as important. Are you being honest with each other about your desires? Have you been holding yourself back from unleashing your wildish nature? Creating a judgment-free zone will facilitate deeper intimacy between partners.

Goddess guidance

You are divinity in human form. Ixchel, the Mayan Moon Goddess, reminds you of your capacity to heal your own wounds.

Aquarius horoscope today

Work and career

The duo of passion and purpose make way for miracles this month. What a wonderful feeling to be doing exactly what you were sent here to! Your career and finances will see steady progress as you exercise a greater degree of commitment towards your goals. But does that mean things are about to get boring and insipid? Anything but. You realise there is more to life than chasing the thrill of adventure and trying to manifest a multitude of projects at the same time. Remember, you have nothing to prove to anybody but yourself. Stay humble and let your work speak for you. If a certain project requires solitude, know that it is a worthwhile investment of your time.

Love and relationships

What’s your love language, Aquarius? Do you embrace the power of words or shy away from expressing the complex workings of your heart? Your loved ones will not know where they stand unless you tell them. Your task this month is to make your vocabulary colourful—in a way that feels authentic, of course. Remember, communication is not just about reciting Rumi verses under the stars or telling your beloved how beautiful they are. It is about giving yourself the permission to be vulnerable and showing them your scars.

Goddess guidance

Goddess White Tara, the harbinger of sensitivity, urges you to tap into your softer side. Embody the given virtue by being compassionate towards yourself first.

Pisces horoscope today

Work and career

We can’t control how other people think. We can’t control how other people feel. What we have dominion over is our response to these triggers. Remember, nobody can make you feel bad about yourself without your permission. Word for the wise: it’s okay to play lone wolf until you’ve had the time to process your emotions. Freelancers, artists, writers, light workers, and others working solo are likely to feel overwhelmed. Give into the need to take a sabbatical from the world and replenish your creative reserves.

Love and relationships

This month brings with itself the perfect romance, complete with the opportune fluttering of the butterflies in the pit of your stomach. But can love sustain itself without the fire of passion? Dear Pisces, lukewarm isn’t good enough. See how and where you are holding yourself back from expressing your desires or making time for deeper intimacy. Knowing where the problem lies is the first step to making your way back to each other. Commitment issues could be a constant for some of you. Remember, the C-word isn’t merely about exchanging vows. It’s about committing yourself to the growth of the relationship despite life’s obstacle course.

Goddess guidance

How is that we reserve our kindness for strangers while resorting to harsh words when we communicate with ourselves? Goddess Kwan Yin urges you to tap into the power of compassion and be kind in your interactions with yourself.
