Aries

As the month begins, it looks like your May flowers are in your planter box -- you're starting the month in homebody mode. Go with it on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd -- do some gardening, some cleaning ... heck, do some retiling! You could even rip out a wall or two if you've been itching to expand your interior spaces. By the 7th, you're showing some of this can-do energy to the world outside the house, and more likely than not, you're making some very important connections in the process. On the 11th and 12th, you're smack in the middle of something. Are your tulips blooming red, yellow and orange? Or is there a fiery debate at the office? Either way, it's sure to be colorful. On the 17th, your practical side struts its stuff, and you resolve a teensy-weensy problem that has cropped up somewhere. On the 22nd, 23rd and 24th, you're in your element in every way possible, and you're kick-starting something brand-new. By the 29th, you can sit back in your easy chair and admire all the work you've done this month.

Taurus

As those springtime good feelings get rolling on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, make sure you leave yourself some time to stop and smell the roses. And the pansies. And the petunias, tulips, marigolds, snow peas, chrysanthemums, poppies and forget-me-nots. Go ahead and plant something -- even if it's just in your kitchen window. The beginning of the month is a great time for you to start some new projects, and the closer to home they are, the better. On the 9th and 10th, you experience a wave of outward-directed energy. So get out there in the world and direct it! On the 14th, you're in for some serious brain, heart and soul time. Get quiet and get thinking -- who knows what you'll come up with! On the 19th, you could have a revelation or two -- and at least one of them points in the direction of community work. By the 24th and 25th, you're more than prepared for (and delighted by) the days of productivity and insight coming your way. Wrap up the month with a stroll in the garden on the 30th.

Gemini

On the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, all the little springtime creatures are crawling out into the sunshine, but you're spending a few days inside -- either literally or emotionally (or both). You're sitting quietly and getting a few new insights into your own internal workings (hopes, fears, desires, obstacles), and this helps you immensely the rest of the month, when you plan a few new directions for yourself. On the 7th and 8th, don't give up if things get tricky. Push on, baby! You have an afternoon full of insight and inspiration on the 13th. But don't jump into implementing mode right away -- spend the 14th taking in whatever it is you've seen about yourself. On the 19th, your attention turns to letting lots of people (those in your community) know what you're working on. Go ahead and tell them on the 21st. Do some networking over lunch on the 26th, and you could have an unexpectedly satisfying dinner. On the 30th, wrap up the month with some more internal analysis.

Cancer

Oh no!' is what most folks say when faced with spring-cleaning. Not you -- not this month. On the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, you're ready to air out all those drawers; toss those old mothballs; pack up the winter coats; iron your favorite springtime tablecloth; and put that cloth on the table with a handful of wildflowers in a jar. Indeed, you're ready for fresh starts. This is true for your work, your play and maybe even your relationship. So out with the cobwebs! In with the fresh air! On the 9th and 10th, you might just feel like staying in and enjoying your clean digs. Go ahead and cancel plans if that's what you want. On the 16th and 17th, don't push anything (or anyone!) too hard. It will all work out on its own. Anything you need to learn on the 21st (for example, how to compromise when it comes to who's going to do what, chorewise), you can learn at home. You're communicating a lot on the 27th -- and people like it. Finish the month with some creativity on the 31st. Why not paint the bedroom? Why not hot pink and green? Or robin blue?

Leo

Whether the sun is shining or there are spring showers in the air, on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, you start the month with a few bright, shiny insights. It might be creative inspirations or practical resolutions for some long-standing relationship problem, but whichever it is, these 'aha!' moments should shake things up. On the 7th, you get interpersonal with these breakthroughs and lavish newfound energy on the special folks in your life. (Guess what? They like it!) You start the 13th acting analytical, and end it free-form. In fact, your mood is pretty close to the ideal combination of exact and loosey-goosey. On the 17th, you arrive just in the nick of time to manage a work situation that could have turned into a mess. On the 21st, teamwork (whether at the office, at home or at the movies with a potential honey) is where it's at for you. Look out for the 27th, when your job is to talk, talk, talk; then email, email; and then talk some more. By the 31st, you're just where you want to be -- feeling fantastic!

Virgo

Is that you in the kitchen on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd? Are you wearing that 'Kiss the Chef' apron your grandpa gave you a few years ago for your birthday? Are you baking ... a cake? Well, heck, it sure looks like you are -- or maybe you're doing something equivalent. Have you put on your 'Kiss Your Colleague' apron at work while you cook up a new filing system? Or donned your 'Kiss Your Cutie' apron and gone to work making your relationship sweeter? Whatever it is, good for you -- it's springtime, and a time for new beginnings. By the looks of things, you're going whole-hog this month, no matter what apron you've got on. Great. On the 9th and 10th, you could be engaging in a little public display of affection! Are you singing or smooching? Or both at the same time? By the 16th and 17th, you manage the heck out of a work project, and on the 22nd and 23rd, you take action where it's needed. Good for you! On the 28th, bake another cake, and then eat the leftovers on the 29th. Yum!

Libra

Well, well, well. Those apple blossoms aren't the only things bursting on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. You're bursting, too, with bright ideas and new energy. Don't forget to channel them, and you could come up with something fabulous before the month is over. On the 6th, 7th, and 8th, whatever you're taking care of -- whether it's the neighbor's houseplants or the big boss's top projects -- thrives. All thanks to you! By the 9th and 10th, your talents, good ideas and winning smile have a chance to shine in some sort of spotlight. Enjoy the recognition -- you've earned it. On the 13th, your investigation into the more mysterious side of life (how do those apple blossoms know when to burst? Why are they so darned pretty? And what does that smell make you think of, exactly?) yields some intriguing results. You get a well-deserved thank-you note on the 19th, and on the 23rd, you've got to put yourself out there to get attention. By the 31st, your creative genius is flowing -- and how!

Scorpio

Spend the 1st, 2nd and 3rd taking stock. Do you have extra water bottles stored in the basement? Extra batteries? Canned goods? What about a little money in the bank? And extra energy for some emotional undertaking? Peanut butter in the house? Write down everything you think you're missing, and for the rest of the month, do your best to fill in any gaps. On the 7th, it's your natural attention to detail that will save the day, either at home or at work. Then, on the 11th and 12th, your natural know-how and can-do attitude (not to mention how you look good doing whatever you do) saves the day again, especially in the work arena. Stay focused on the 17th. On the 22nd and 23rd, do what you do best -- get out there and be decisive -- and you'll progress in the right direction. By the 27th, you start to see something that had been obscure until now. On the 31st, don't forget to say what you have to say!

Sagittarius

You might spend the 1st of the month reflecting on just how much your loved ones mean to you. If you're in a relationship, reserve a special hour or two for thinking about your honey bunny. If you're single, spend that time focusing on a strategy for winning the heart of the cutie you have your eye on. Heck, it's springtime, and you're charming -- you've got a good chance of success! On the 7th, you spend a good chunk of time just enjoying the beauty of the season. You have this whole 'living' thing down pretty well, don't you? On the 13th, get ready for a 'wow' afternoon. Is that cutie sharing fruit smoothies with you at the French cafe on the corner? On the 17th, you make something work. On the 21st, you're patient with someone, and this person really, really appreciates it. Looks like the next smoothie is their treat! You get outdoors on the 23rd and feel great about it. On the 27th, just enjoy the tweet, tweet of the birds.

Capricorn

What's that bee in your bonnet telling you on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd? 'Buzz, buzz. Trust your most practical instincts,' it says. And it's right! Whatever concrete solutions you dream up -- especially when it comes to your domestic life -- are as solid as, well, concrete. So spend the month implementing them! That's right -- they make great foundations for all kinds of future plans. On the 7th, a great idea about how to take care of someone or something comes to you (maybe even in a dream? Pay attention!). Implement that idea, too. On the 12th, it's business, business, business. Good thing it's such interesting business! On the 16th and 17th, anything and everyone under your management sparkles. You turn your sights on a charity project on the 21st. By the 26th, you're ready to talk about it, whatever it is. Get creative on the 31st. What will you invent? Buzz, buzz!

Aquarius

You have a knack, you know. Okay, you have several knacks and a whole embarrassment of talents. On top of that, you're charming and have a nice smile. But the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, it's your knack for turning groups of individuals into a community that's coming to the fore. Who are you transforming, and for what purpose? Only you know, and only you know how to do it right. By the 9th and 10th, you take a leadership role (no big surprise there!), and on the 15th, you spend the day showing folks what they have in common with each other. On the 20th and 21st, don't forget to get enough sleep in the midst of all this giving of yourself. On the 26th, pitch in at breakfast and lunch, then take a little break for dinner. Heck, why not order in and watch a movie? On the 31st, even you are astounded by what you've accomplished this month!

PISCES

You're a creature's creature, a people person, an animal lover, someone who loves to entertain children, a listener for the lonely, and in general, somebody who likes others. You're doing your listening, playing, talking and just plain being there thing on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and all the springtime beauty in the air makes the whole project that much more tender. Ahhh! On the 8th, spend the day being compassionate without doing too much -- sometimes people have to figure out their stuff on their own. At night, go out! Part of being such a people person is that you get to let loose and have fun sometimes! Push yourself on the 14th -- whatever ideas you have, it's time to implement them. By the 19th, you're sharing these ideas, and on the 20th and 21st, you've achieved some brand-new goals. On the 26th, spend the afternoon catching up on correspondence, and on the 31st, get creative. It'll pay off, and you'll like it.
