IT’S A GOOD MONTH FOR:
Taureans like fashion model, TV star and all-round celebrity, Gigi Hadid. Taureans always do best when they stick to the established script, working from their strengths. Success comes in spades in May if you guarantee stability when everyone else is cracking up!
IT’S A CHALLENGING MONTH FOR:
Scorpios such as Kendall Jenner, runway model, fashion designer and member of the world-conquering Reality-TV dynasty, the Kardashians. May is a month for Scorpios to take the back seat, hanging on to their secrets and keeping their powder dry until planetary pressures ease in June.
FOR ALL SIGNS:
Will there ever come a time when the world slows down and normality returns? Sometimes it seems like chaos actually is the new normal. The top survival plan this month is to fly below the radar, steering clear of emotional upheavals, and hanging on to everything that’s familiar.

Your solar chart is blessed with a massive influx of Martian magic which, in plain language, means that your energy levels are hitting a new high.

An ambitious romantic cycle kicks off on the 8th, and you’ll be putting pressure on partners to do their best. You may even accept invitations which you would once have turned down flat.
