The Snake Leaving a Hole

On May 1, the Snake Leaving a Hole month begins. This occurs just after the April 30/May 1 solar eclipse (the exact date depends on where you are on the planet). As light returns to the Snake coming out of its hole, we can gain some brilliant insights and get a sense of the power of love and self-expression.

A lunar eclipse follows on May 15. Once again, doors to new possibilities will open unexpectedly. You may feel tied to old responsibilities that prevent you from reaching out to those opportunities. Hold onto those feelings while still remembering that you’re in the process of a major life transformation during a series of worldwide changes. Honoring old commitments is essential to reaching the future you desire.

Though you may feel a sense of frustration, this negative energy can be channeled into successful creative efforts, particularly dance or other physical forms of self-expression. If you are an advocate for protecting children or animals, you’ll also have a positive outlet to carry you forward.

On May 30, the Traveling Horse month begins. At this point, travel plans can move forward, and you can finally share communications after the past month’s delays.

Rat

On May 11, you’re the Rat on the Roof. Make a point to observe and contemplate any major changes that you’re considering. While the greater changes you’re striving toward are solid, your thoughts on immediately impending decisions may be clouded during this period. Give yourself time to sort through your ideas. As the Field Rat on May 23, you find yourself relying on your sharper, clearer intuition to pursue new relationships and paths of consciousness.

Ox

As the Sea Ox on May 12, you are feeling romantic, but you are balancing those emotions with the wisdom that comes from experience. You can have the best of both worlds if you follow your instincts and your inner joy. Your words are kind, gracious, clever, and appreciated, especially when it comes to romancing others and providing guidance. On May 24, you are the Lake Buffalo. Use the morning to carefully plan your next move. While you have an idea of what comes next, you aren’t completely clear on your situation. Resist the desire to act for action’s sake. Later in the day, you will have a better understanding of what’s needed of you. You can benefit greatly from acting at the right time.

Tiger

You are the Tiger Standing Firm on May 1. The solar eclipse you’ve just experienced has opened you to new possibilities. This time of surprising changes and innovative ideas will serve you well as long as you stand firm in your ideals and generous love. If so, you’ll have a calm, assured day that gives you a sense of how your new life will be. On May 13, you’re the Tiger in the Forest during your Tiger Crossing the Forest year. Your surroundings are filled with spiritual guidance as you progress on your spiritual path. It is important to stay on solid ground in every sense of the phrase. However, you’ll get surprise assistance from someone you never considered wise in the past. You will gain entirely new insights from including this person in your life. May 25 brings about your Tiger Climbing the Mountain day. You have the mental and physical energy to take on what needs to be accomplished. Health and wisdom come together today.

Rabbit

On May 2, you are the Enlightened Rabbit. You are ready to share the newfound wisdom you discovered by examining your own heart. Love and compassion are now a committed action item for you and those you touch. On May 14, you’re the Rabbit Dreaming of the Moon as the lunar eclipse approaches. As you enjoy the romance this day offers, you also search deep within. You recognize that the expanded gifts that come from partnerships also require shared respect and power — a safe place for romance to flourish. On May 26, you are the Rabbit of Woods and Mountain. Go with your heart. Focus on including others in your loving kindness. You can speak to other issues later, but actions are clearer and more powerful than words at this time.

Dragon

You’re the Dragon in the Sky on May 3. You are in a position to speak to old wounds in a way that helps others heal. This can help you find the sense of freedom you need to take a long-wanted action by releasing your own emotional pain. May 15 is your Dragon of Pure Virtue day, as the lunar eclipse takes place either this evening or tomorrow morning, depending on your location. There is a serious quality to this day that allows you to take responsible action as long as you regard yourself and others with compassion. On May 27, you are the Dragon of Patience. You can guide others away from the hubris that is so tempting with all the fiery energies available today. However, the right course of action demands brilliance and strategy.

Snake

As the Snake in the Pool on May 4, particularly during the Snake Leaving a Hole month, you are anxious to transform your life and experience your dreams. This is the day to glide along and enjoy thoughts of reaching these ideals. You’ll be able to take positive action in the near future. On May 16, your Snake of Happiness day, you experience the particularly positive feelings that come from generous thoughts and actions. Enjoy this day to the fullest, but remember that you need to keep your balance lest you overspend your energy or money. On May 28, you are the Hibernating Snake. Save your new ideas and creations for the perfect day to share them. What you have to offer is valuable, so wait until you’re certain that it will be received with the appropriate respect and appreciation.

Horse

On May 5, you’re the Horse in the Stable. You are at home in your new circumstances after some major breakthroughs in expressing your powerful spirit. You are also feeling higher energy due to your diet, exercise, and other healthy practices. May 17 is your Palace Horse day. You appreciate — or demonstrate yourself — the beauty and power of sports, elegant dance, or dramatic music. There is a fiery, high-energy quality to your spiritual pursuits today. On May 29, with the New Moon approaching and the Traveling Horse month set to begin on May 30, you are the Way Horse. This is an action day for you in the realms of communication and short-distance travel. If you make any presentations today, be certain to thank and acknowledge anyone who helped you.

Sheep

On May 6, you’re the Sheep in the Pasture. This is the perfect day to reach out to lone individuals and invite them to join any group activities. Your natural tendency to listen to others with genuine compassion and interest makes sharing time with them more valuable to you in all areas of life. On May 18, you are the Lucky Sheep. Legal or political issues should go your way. As long as you’re seeking what is fair and best for everyone, today also brings appreciation for your innovative ideas or unconventional approach to change. On May 30, you are a Sheep in a Flock. Your experience with others helps you facilitate peace and pleasant interactions within a group. Your compassionate wisdom allows you to bring joy to others.

Monkey

You’re the Monkey Eating Fruit on May 7. You’re feeling positive and enthusiastic as you enjoy the benefits of winning at sports, achieving a special success at work, or having a wonderfully passionate love/sex life. On May 19, you’re the Elegant Monkey. You have an inspired approach to major changes as you embrace the new. May 31 brings about your Tree Monkey day. Use your position to observe others’ actions and interactions. There is something that hasn’t been revealed, and you are in a position to identify it.

Rooster

You are the Caged Rooster on May 8. You can see a future of great possibilities, but if you want to move forward, be prepared to integrate surprising events into your plans. If you worry that honoring past commitments will hold you back, know that it will have the opposite effect. Keeping promises gives more power to your words. On May 20, you are the Barnyard Rooster. You have a great deal to say about the possibilities available to you and those around you. No matter what difficulties you’ve faced, you’ll see that they were just stepping stones on the path to your spiritual desires.

Dog

On May 9, you are the protective Watch Dog, reviewing what you need to protect the people, creatures, places, and things you love and honor. You’re finishing old projects to take on bigger ones. On May 21, as the Guard Dog, you find yourself securing important communications and technologies. Take care to ensure that there are no inadvertent privacy breaches. Think before you speak, even among your friends, and take extra measures to protect your financial, business, and personal information online.

Pig

On May 10, you’re the Pig in the Forest. You may want to walk away from a situation where others have behaved badly. Getting past your disappointment and anger will allow you to enjoy a real breakthrough in your relationship. You are the Traveling Pig on May 22.
