TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)

Influenced by the KING OF WANDS

Music: Monday, Monday – Single Version – The Mamas & The Papas
Taurus, may your mantra should be Focus! Focus! Focus! Set your personal goals and then get ready for some unexpected surprises. These may not fully present themselves quite yet, but trust me, they will. Keep going after your personal success because it’s helping to draw in what you need to achieve what you want and more. Cards say not to stress about money now. Know that what you’re doing in the bigger picture doesn’t need cash flow to overcome obstacles. You will thrive. Make decisions based on what drives you – follow your passion! Richard Branson says, “There is no greater thing you can do with your life and your work than follow your passions in a way that serves the word and you!”

GEMINI (May 21- June 20)

Influenced by ACE OF WANDS

Music: Something Just Like This – The Chainsmokers, Coldplay
Oooooh Gemini, you have exciting news coming this month! NEW BEGINNINGS are flirting, ready to present themselves to you now. The cards say just to enjoy life right now. Don’t force it – let it come to you. Follow the inspiration and you’ll be led into the magic. If you’ve been looking to move, you may find your dream house. It’s finally all coming together for you. Jack Schaefer says “Enjoy yourself. If you can’t enjoy yourself, enjoy someone else.” 

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

Influenced by 3 OF SWORDS

Music: Hard Times – Paramore, Glósóli – Sigur Rós

This is the end of an era Cancer, times are a-changin’ for you! Now is a time to keep on pace, not to push forward. You may want to control things or make them happen now but the cards show you are better off just trusting that whatever is happening is getting you ready for some big changes ahead. If you’ve been waiting for that big pay off or offer, you may need to wait a little bit longer, but cards show that everything is coming together exactly as it should. This is a time for you to remember to trust in the divine order of things! When you find yourself questioning or being negative, check yourself. Set aside a candle or stone that reminds you you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be!

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)

Influenced by 3 OF CUPS

Music:  Kick Jump Twist – Sylvan Esso, Lovin’ You – The Lovin’ Spoonful
Leo, enjoy this month! You are shining brightly and you feel supported by friends and family. There are so many around you who see the star in you and want to help you! Enjoy the shine. Go be social this May and enjoy time with the people who bring out the best in you. Say yes to everything this month. Random birthday party? Job interview out of nowhere? Call from a distant friend? Yes! Yes! Yes! And share that loving spirit with others who may need it more than you right now.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There’s also something important for you on a trip! Whether you are planning one or going away for a week or weekend, this trip is going to help with your transition in a massive way.  

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Influenced by THE LOVERS

Music: J-Boy – Phoenix, Thunder – Imagine Dragons
Love is the name of the game for you this month. May is like a fairytale, but even in the fairytales, love has it’s differences. Yours is like Beauty and the Beast this month. You may feel like you’re coming from different worlds. Now is the time to not force another to change for you, but instead notice how you might need another perspective to balance you. Don’t make any hasty decisions now,  just love the highs and appreciate the lows in the love! If you’re single – LOOK AT WHO IS SHOWING UP! This could be big love for you! Live the fairytale and let yourself be shocked by the lightning and thunder. How great is it to feel all the feelings?!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 19)

Influenced by SEVEN OF SWORDS

Music: Big Yellow Taxi – Joni Mitchell, A Man Is Not His Song – Feist
Sag! You may have been feeling frustrated or a little lost at what the future holds but you’re in luck! You are getting an offer this month or the beginning of June that is going to show you how exciting the times ahead are for you! What you can do now is truly listen to your emotions now. Journal, meditate, and just be aware of your fears. You have Saturn in your sign and this is opening you up to big shifts in your being, but he takes time.

CAPRICORN (Dec 20 – Jan 19)

Influenced by THE MAGICIAN

Music: Hallucinations – R3hab, Ritual
Cap, you are ruled by the magician this month. The magician says you have the power to solve seemingly impossible situations. However, cards show you are starting the month frustrated that things have not come together the way you have wanted them to. But guess what – by the end of the month, you have your magician’s cape on and have gathered all your magic tricks to put on the show of your life! You know what you need to do to get everything you want and need.  So this month – your job is to gather the tricks. It’s not time for the show yet, you just need to start seeing what you are good at and what the audience wants of you. By the end of the month, you’ve prepped yourself and you have gone deep to be exactly who you have been seeking to find!

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Influenced by KNIGHT OF WANDS

Music: Welcome to Love – Young Ejecta, Good Mistake – Mr Little Jeans

Aquarius! May is all work for you, you are a real go getter now! Love is there standing by! You have had some minor disappointments at work and they are coming out so you can move on. Don’t lose confidence, just notice what you were meant to see so you can be better to help your business thrive! You should be feeling full of energy and excitement for projects and assignments now. Keep after it. Send flowers to someone you love this month. It will make you feel good and remind that friend or lover how important they are to you!

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Influenced by 5 OF SWORDS

Music: Start A Riot – BANNERS
You are picking up the pieces after a love that’s left you with less than to be desired. But with your career on the ups, you can see now how love is feeling so close! Pisces you are feeling so much abundance in your life right now that you’re in no rush for the love process to speed up. Just enjoy everything now and let it come together! When you’re driving, look for signs. If you drive to your job, you’ll see what I mean. You’ll get little notices of how you are exactly where you’re supposed to be!

ARIES (Mar. 21 – Apr. 19)

Influenced by the KNIGHT OF SWORDS

Music: The Night We Met – Lord Huron

Aries, this month is all about action! Take it and run with it! You are in your creative genius mode, so embrace that and do something about it! Put that aggressive energy into your projects, your passions, perhaps even love. Go after it! You may have felt stuck (especially with all the retrogrades) but Mercury is going out of retrograde at the start of the month and you’ll see where you should focus your energies in order to get forward movement! Get to it!
