OFM Horoscopes: May

Welcome to Alanna L.P.’s Uplifting Horoscopes. These are very general horoscopes that will resonate with many but not all of you. That’s OK! Take away what makes sense, and leave what doesn’t behind. If you want a deeper understanding of what to expect this month, when analyzing horoscopes, read your sun sign, your rising sign, and your moon sign.

Aries

Your empathy will make you a peacemaker this month, dearest Aries. This newfound talent will bring you exciting opportunities. It’s time to grow, grow, grow, and there’s no slowing down. You’re going to get the attention you need to make it all work out.

Mantra: Speak and then listen.

Taurus

Happy birthday, Taurus! It’s time to celebrate that wonderful, romantic, sensual, decadent person that you are! Dress to the nines, and know that you are divine. Mercury will be in retrograde until June 3, so if your mind is racing between then and now, get out, and get active. What goes around comes around, so if you get called out, be the bigger person and apologize. 

Mantra: Gratitude is an attitude.

Gemini

If your birthday is in May, Gemini, happy birthday to you! Let’s celebrate that witty, charismatic, curious, playful person you are. The time of your life is just around the corner, so use this period to take out the emotional garbage. Relax, have fun, and don’t take life so seriously. Everything you do affects others, so be of service, and it will all come back to you in the most beautiful way.

Mantra: “Lean on me / When you’re not strong / And I’ll be your friend / I’ll help you carry on / For it won’t be long / Till I’m gonna need somebody to lean on.” -”Lean on Me” by Bill Withers

Cancer

You may not know where your feelings end and others’ begin this month, dear Cancer. It’s time to teach and learn, expand, and grow, and for goodness sake, write that book! Even if you’re not a writer, people want to hear what you have to say. You may impress someone with clout, but these encounters could end ugly. Think about giving that opportunity a hard pass in favor of connecting with the warmth of friends. Trust me, you’ll be in much better company! 

Mantra:  My passions are my purpose. 

Leo

Shape up, or ship out! If you know you need to get your health in check, now is the time, dearest Leo! Use your new found energy in your job search. It may feel more like a quest than a search, but tracking the treasure down is worth it. Hold those you love close, and cry it out. And for those who jump ship, wish them the best. If someone confesses a deep, dark secret to you, be empathetic and slow to judge. Feel, don’t think, and take good care of yourself, sunshine. You’re the only you you’ve got. 

Mantra: My wisdom is valued.

Virgo

Breathe a sigh of relief, dear Virgo. It’s all about to start going your way. Another way to say, “I’m sorry” is to say “I love you.” A new opportunity in business may present itself, but give it until after Mercury retrograde ends (June 3) before you make a move on that offer. 

Mantra: “I’m sorry; I love you; please forgive me.” -Ho’oponopono, a Hawaiian Forgiveness Mantra

Libra

Have fun working out with your friends to keep the good energy flowing—body, mind, and spirit. A new opportunity in love is manifesting. Speak it into existence. 

Mantra: No one will know unless I speak up. 

Scorpio

If something feels off, now is the time to restructure your fundamental belief system. If you are looking for a special partnership, a spiritual union is on the way. But be careful not to idealize relationships. Heaven forbid if you become codependent this time around! Keep friends and family near and dear to stay grounded. If you’re struggling, know you don’t have to go it alone, Scorpio. A good therapist could help you out a lot. 

Mantra: I’m not afraid of love.

Sagittarius

What do you see when you look around your house? Your possessions often reflect your values. Now is the time to get a financial safety net in order. You may find that you are creating deeper bonds with your loved ones. Be yourself, and know that you are never too much. The lovely thing about being a Sagittarius is being wild and free! You could experience a strong call to service in your community that will bring a lot of joy to your life. So even if it feels right to get back in the dating game, you may not have much time for that just yet. 

Mantra: Helping others helps me. 

Capricorn

Be the change you want to be in the world this month, Capricorn. Your mind is powerful. What you say and think shapes reality. In the end, there is nothing wrong and you are not alone.

Mantra: You are special. Believe it!  

Aquarius

You certainly have come a long way this year, Aquarius! The more you give up, the richer you feel! The more love you give out, the more that comes back! Know that you are exactly where you need to be right now. There is no need to take any action. You are well on your way. 

Mantra: Less is more.

Pisces

You’re used to flowing through life. But you may feel that somewhere along the way, you lost track of who you are. This is a time to do some soul searching and touch base with yourself again. Money will flow to you, but be mindful of your spending because you are not your possessions. Meditation and talking with a counselor can get you on the right track to healing deep, emotional scars. 

Mantra: I love who I am becoming..
