lol-ing, the may edition.

You are surprised in early May. You have uncovered pieces of your past that help you better understand yourself. Perhaps you made a discovery about your parents' youth or recalled something buried that happened when you were a small child. Suddenly, it all makes sense. Having this knowledge will liberate you from certain constraints that you have long known were holding your back. Reaffirmation of self worth will be a byproduct. Need to talk to somebody about this? An elder in your family would offer sound guidance. If nobody wants to discuss it, get thee to a therapist. There are times in everybody's life when they need to talk things over with a neutral third party who has experience lifting people out of denial or helping them over a hurdle. Never deny yourself that luxury. Beware of an indecisive Libra around the 20th. I think this concerns someone you work with or perhaps they are part of your choral group or evening class. They will be going back on a promise that they made to you. A rift in your relationship could ensue. Do speak up and defend yourself now. All too often you lower your standards for people out of a desire to accommodate their faults. This time, draw the line! Reading will become an integral part of your life again in May. You hadn't realized how long you had been neglecting books. An urge to go to the library, take out some books and stick your nose inside. The urge to read becomes a passionate desire at the end of May.

Family issues crop up in May for Horses. You have known for some time that trouble was brewing in the domestics of a brother, sister or close relative. One of the people in the couple in question will come to you for sympathy. Their complaints about their better half could be legitimate. You may even feel very sorry for them. However, unless you are a lawyer, and they want to hire you as their mouthpiece, keep your counsel. Obviously, you like the couple each in her or his own way and can probably see both sides of the various problems they have. But what you don't know is that as soon as Portia has walked out the front door, Jeff will come walking in the back to air his grievances. Couples have a way of using friends and family members as sounding boards. That evening, they will have another of their monumental rows, and if you have commented, she will say so, and he will come back with what you told him about her. Be careful. Taking sides is a good way to lose two good friends in the same divorce. Business for you should be thriving now. Your colleagues may not have not been very cooperative in the past few weeks, so you may be feeling a tad uneasy about the focus of your current projects. Why not invite a few key people to a simple bistro dinner, order a bottle of good wine and talk the whole matter through? Often what looks like lack of team work is due to a breakdown in communications.
