Horoscopes: A challenging moon By Imhotep Don't expect Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called, to make sheep's eyes at their shepherds. My dear Rams, you'll be happy to potter along quite pleasingly by late May. The most perfect time for you, my dear Rams, will be the last week in May. One little encounter with stranger in the middle of the month can change your whole life. Rams are fiercely individualistic and do not cluster in flocks like sheep. Before I go any further, however, I should like to repeat that there are exceptions to every rule. Very occasionally one does stumble across Arians who are rather adorable and especially so if the Ram in question is at heart nothing but a little lamb. Rams are instinctively prejudiced, until with much patience the blindfolds are removed. Rams enjoy nothing better than to lead the parade, but they will have to learn to listen attentively to others -- including their superiors -- this May. Rams will have ample opportunity in the last two weeks of the month to prove that they are still punching. And, there is nothing Rams love more than a good fight. May might not be a portentous month for you, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. But, it is a month in which your patience will be tested to the limits. Taureans have a Herculean strength, and an indomitable will to match. The world around you might at times appear dark and obscure, but remember that there is no tunnel which does not have an ending. In May you shall see the light at the end of your tortuously long tunnel. Try not to be grumpy. It's your right to choose not to be cantankerous. You will get out of shape easily if you don't keep on top of things. You may have been trying to do too much, leaving yourself exhausted, irritable and prone to disease. Friends and acquaintances might offer lots of advise and assistance in the most difficult days. But don't count on them. Rely on no one but yourself. Bulls are among the most romantic beings, and Imhotep foresees passionate escapades ahead. But, Bulls are well advised not to shoot suspicious glances at their lovers without good cause. They must not jump to conclusions when they have no absolute proof of their suspicions. Even so, look forward to many special candlelit dinners or a fireside chats. You wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of either of the Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called in May. Twins are on a winning streak throughout the month. But the Twins are of two minds on many different matters during the month of May. Twins will have restless souls in May. And a little extra sleep wouldn't go amiss. Look beyond the superficial and delve into the inner natures of the beings who people your surroundings. It's the ideas that count. My dear Twins, this is your chance to glimpse something of the metaphysical spheres of life -- grab it. As confusing as life might appear to be at the moment, my dear Twins, you shall soon realise that you are listening to your loved ones from a standpoint that understands and is compassionate. With this will come the realisation that the world around you is peaceful and beautiful. New openings shall unravel. And if you come up against any difficult dilemma, your vivid imagination will enable you to see a zillion solution to every pressing problem, and you have a knack for opting for the most ideal solution. Listen to your inner voice. And, focus on the bigger picture in your lives.
