Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)
May starts in Taurus season sparking celebrations of a personal nature. Of course, this could be your birthday, but it can also be the celebration of a very personal achievement.

Or it’s you who make decisions that offer a better work/life balance. Coworkers may surprise you, offering support or stepping away from a toxic situation. Whatever your personal scenario, the fact is that you are ready to step away from situations that are stressful on a daily basis. You are ready to enjoy your work.

Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the long-running Aussie tv series ‘Neighbours’ was true to life with everyone getting along well, more or less, and helping and supporting each other. This may be the case for you this month. However, it’s also possible that disputes with neighbours need to be resolved. Think back. How did you resolve disputes with your siblings? Or were you an only child, feeling isolated? These feelings can be faced, and you can move forward with positive relationships with both siblings and neighbours. Or perhaps it’s time to move away?
