"Native Americans called May 4th's full Moon in Scorpio the 'Full Flower Moon'. It defines the beginning of our world's visibly increasing fertility. With warmer temperatures, an end to late frosts in our part of the country, and everything in bloom everywhere, no wonder we feel sexier and more productive. The trick is to balance our idealism and optimism with the tiniest dose of reality. But no ego. We can hit any goal if we keep our 'Full Flower Moon' momentum going the whole month.

Happy Birthday Taurus!(Apr.21-May-21) Your Month:
May showcases your quick-thinking intelligence and aggressive leadership, and it's powerful. You know when to assert yourself and when to be cooperative (it's one of your talents)and you're usually content with either, but this month you get the job done and take no prisoners. Just ask yourself something: This ferocious drive for success, does it have to be at the expense of a peaceful personal life? Communication is the key to unlocking every door. You do need to decide what it is that you want--world domination, a new home, money...or love, because you'll get it in May.
Gemini(May 22-June 20) For years you've been telling people 'I only do what the voices in my head tell me', sort of as a joke and sort of not. This month the voices in your head are all about achievement, personal and professional, and they're giving you great advice. But those voices have very little to say about family and domestic matters this month, and your instincts are off a little. Since you're not traditionally a loner type, the cooperation of others, especially loved ones, is a necessity. So, avoid conflicts, be flexible, and try to stay in harmony with your environment, professional and personal.
Cancer(June 21-July 22) This month, none of your irons are hot enough to make a mark on your career. Professional circumstances seem to be at an impasse. Well, lucky you. It's an either/or month, so if work isn't wonderful, expect a very, very happy relationship situation. Romance may seems 'too-good-to-be-true', but trust it and try not to look a gift horse in the mouth. From endless possibilities to truly lucky situations, let events follow their natural course without too much second guessing. Trust circumstances to drop a great romance (and maybe a great trip) right into your lap.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) Finance and entrepreneurship won't bring you guys any big victories in May, though some problems you've been chewing on for a while will finally reach a conclusion. But your main problem is this month, your main enemy is...laziness. You don't feel like doing much more than hanging out with friends and having a good time. You'd love to forget the world of finance and entrepreneurship completely for a while, but we recommend you fight your laziness bug. Don't lose a minute on distractions. Try to be as active as possible, and you'll be thanking us later this year.
Virgo(Aug. 24-Sept. 22) Right now, your life feels like a journey. You search for higher knowledge and foreign cultures, flavors and philosophies all over the world literally, professionally, and/or metaphorically and you've also pretty busy trying to keep all your wheels on the ground in your own neighborhood. So much to do, so much to do, and the things that happening to you right now have a fated feel, as if your life's journey lead you to this point, to place you in the perfect spot to make an impact on the world. Don't be afraid of success--it's your destination.
Libra(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Some say you live a charmed life, while others say it's your charm that gets you what you want. This month is a good time to exercise that infamous charm of yours to really accomplish something important. You can use it to promote your public personae, especially through the influence of women, the arts, beauty, or fashion. You may even charm business associates into partnering with you, and benefitting from sharing resources, so be generous. But remember, your charm can't keep you from charging into things without reading the fine print. Just a warning.
Scorpio(Oct. 23-Nov.21) It's hard to partner with someone who's career becomes larger than life, or at least larger than your own. With the full Moon in your sign on the 4th, you'll need to remember that. Keep your wits about you and watch your temper, because it's your career that's fast becoming larger than life, and it's your poor partner that may be feeling a little neglected. This month can be an entrepreneurs dream. Your profession, your public life, the meaning of life, they're all so intertwined that you can't separate them and you don't want to. So communicate. It'll work wonders with your partners.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Here's a quote to sum up the last three years: Mahatma Gandhi, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." You're definitely winning this month, and it feels good to be on top. You are in such a habit of facing down criticism, fighting for what you want, and just fighting in general that it's now sort of a habit. You even like it, though you would never admit it. In the context of relationships, however, fighting isn't always considered foreplay. Your other quote: "Sometimes it's easier to battle with others than to fight your own nature." Hmmm.
Capricorn(Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Competition is fun. So is expressing yourself creatively. Romance is fun, too, and so is sport. And sex. So if you find yourself especially aggressive this month, or competitive, or sexy, or more fun than usual, at least you'll know there is a perfectly good explanation for it. It starts off with the Full Flower Moon and moves through 28 more days of frolic and general goofing off. You could get a little obsessive, or maybe compulsive, but you won't be bored and you won't miss your old work-a-holic self--which reappears in June.
Aquarius(Jan 21-Feb. 19) A profession may be fulfilling but we all need a secure foundation, a home that supports our wellbeing. The painter Renoir once said, "For a man to be truly creative in his profession, he must have a stable home life. Otherwise, he uses up his creativity to manage his personal chaos." In May you feel this instinctively, and the physical, mental and even emotional energy you expend is mostly to figure out and stabilize your role in your family. Behind the drive for family is a stronger need for stability than you usually feel. Just go with it. Trust Renoir.
Pisces(Feb. 20-March 20) May is such a busy month for your household. We're not saying you won't enjoy it. Au contraire--you'll love the energy and you may not feel like sitting still anyway. This month home is not just a refuge for you but a place where ideas and information can be exchanged. Even your living arrangements are flexible, with guests coming and going, or coming and staying. The key to keeping things running smoothly is communication. You must aggressively and diligently communicate. Call, write, email, text, Facebook--keep everyone posted and sorted and informed and your home will hum like a finely tuned machine.
Aries(Mar. 21-Apr. 20) Your brain is on fire with creativity, so of course you look to your environment for a place and a way to express it. Aggressively. Maybe it's about kids, or parties, or just a pure form of creative self-expression. You feel you need the freedom to expand on this theme, but it seems that others are not nearly as excited about your ideas for change and growth as you are. So you're torn between expressing your energy all over the place and keeping it to yourself. Your goal this month is to blend those energies into one, easy to swallow dose. And add a spoonful of sugar.
