Bohemian Horoscopes: May 2016.

Bohemian of the month: Jessica Lange
Actress and photographer Jessica Lange was born on April 20, 1949, with the Sun in sensual Taurus, and Moon and Jupiter in unconventional Aquarius. She spent her early 20s studying mime in Paris, and then went on to become one of Hollywood’s top actresses with award-winning roles in movies like Frances and Tootsie.
She also had tempestuous relationships with many fabulously bohemian men: Spanish photographer Paco Grande, American film director Bob Fosse, Russian ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, and actor/playwright Sam Shepard. With her Mars in daring Aries, she is passionate and adventurous and lives life at a fast pace.
She reflects “From seventeen until I had my first child [at 32], I lived like a madwoman. I really burnt out my cylinders. There is nothing I feel I’ve missed. I lived everywhere and, believe me, did everything. I have gone down the highway of life full tilt.” Spoken like a true bohemian wild child!
Horoscopes for May
Aries (March 21-April 20)
Many Rams will feel restless, as projects seem stalled at every turn. Retrograde Mars is doing a number on you, and forcing you to be patient — something that definitely doesn’t come naturally! Money matters are also in the firing line, as Mercury continues reversing through your cash zone [until May 22].
You’re itching to jump out of cruise control when the fiery Full Moon [on May 21-22] encourages you to visualize your ambitious aspirations for the future. But you need to plan each step thoroughly, before you eventually take an amazing dream and spin it into rock-solid reality.
Taurus (April 21-May 21)
The New Moon [on May 6-7] is a fabulous time to rejuvenate your physical appearance, plus revise your plans for the future. Remember, Mercury is reversing through your sign [until May 22] so, when you’re communicating with others, stay on topic and avoid pointless arguing.
Friendships are favored, as long as you give others the freedom to express their views. If you are attached, things could get hot and heavy on the night of May 21, when the Full Moon stimulates your intimacy zone. Singles, don’t accept second best. Have the confidence to wait for your soul mate to arrive.
Gemini (May 22-June 21)
The focus is on formal volunteer work [or providing spontaneous assistance to people around you who are sick, in trouble or less fortunate] as you channel your inner Mother Teresa.
So your motto for the month is from Audrey Hepburn: “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” And there’s no room for negative self-talk. Mercury might be retrograde, but you can still have fun and get a lot done, as long as you are patient.
It’s also the perfect time to research, rehearse, reboot, reschedule and revisit.
Cancer (June 22-July 23)
Are you being a cranky, impatient Crab? With Mars and Saturn both reversing through your work zone, professional projects aren’t progressing as quickly as you’d like. The stars encourage you to perceive frustrating delays as fabulous opportunities to review, revise and reboot.
And are you being too stubborn about a relationship issue? Perceptive Pluto urges you to orchestrate a subtle shift in attitude. Mercury’s still retro [until May 22] so avoid posting anything online that’s confusing or controversial. And keep your cool around May 21-22, when the Full Moon inflames fiery emotions.
Leo (July 24-Aug 23)
Lions love to go at life with plenty of power and passion. But with Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Pluto all in retro mode, the gas has temporarily been taken out of your tank. You want to charge ahead [especially at work] but your Cat style has been temporarily curtailed. So what can you do?
You need to think more creatively and plan more patiently. Heed the wise words of Cher: “If you can’t go straight ahead, then go around the corner.” Things improve from May 22 onwards, when Mercury finally goes direct and the Full Moon highlights friendship and fun.
Virgo (Aug 24-Sep 23)
Mercury — your patron planet — is still retrograde [until May 22] so avoid slipping into very-stressed-Virgo Mode! Try to worry less and focus more, as you complete one task at a time, before moving on to the next project. Things are constantly changing, so keep your schedule flexible and don’t let your perfectionist streak get out of control.
If you worry about getting things 100% right every time, then you’ll never try anything new. Consider the wise words of Salvador Dali: “Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them.” Food for thought.
Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23)
The best day for romance is May 10, when Jupiter boosts love and lust. But May is not a particularly good month to try to solve a major problem or go on a big trip, as the planets play games with your itinerary, scramble your communication antennae, or muddle your mind.
Conversing with others, in person and online, will be frustrating, so focus on the facts and be extra careful when posting comments online. With Mercury retrograde [until May 22] and Mars and Saturn both reversing through your social media zone, it will be very easy to send the wrong message to the wrong person.
Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22)
With retro Mercury and Venus in your relationship zone [until May 22 and 24 respectively] strive to manage misunderstandings and patch up problems in a cooperative fashion, as you hold out the olive branch of peace.
Attached Scorps, your love life looks problematic, as you and your sweetheart seem to be heading in opposite directions. So, take the time to reconnect on a deep level, and find some middle ground.
Singles, are you sending out mixed messages? Perhaps you need to reword your online dating profile, as you strive to attract a partner who is passionate, productive and profound.
Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 21)
With Mars and Saturn both reversing through your sign, your life seems to be moving along at a super-slow snail’s pace, but be patient and have faith that things are happening behind the scenes. You’re very focused on professional projects, but don’t put all your eggs in the one work basket.
Make sure you diversify your interests, expand your contacts, experiment with creative ideas, and keep your options open. The Sagittarian Full Moon [on May 21-22] magnifies your positive traits, and your negative ones as well. So strive to be generous and gregarious, rather than bossy and belligerent!
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 20)
Capricorns are usually awesome organizers. But with Mars and Saturn both retrograde, your managerial mojo may desert you, as your confidence takes a nosedive. Don’t waste time feeling frustrated. Use the next few weeks to recharge your rundown batteries and reboot your self-belief.
And don’t do everything by the book. Remember to relax and have some fun along the way. Be inspired by Katharine Hepburn: “If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.” You’ll find solo pursuits — like meditating, painting, reading and writing — will also help soothe your frustration.
Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 19)
Many Aquarians are feeling frustrated, and are keen to break free from rules and restrictions, especially within a group situation. But, if you really want to enjoy the long-term rewards, then you’ll have to [temporarily] stop being so rebellious and play by the short-term rules.
Also, when it comes to your hopes, dreams and goals, there is absolutely no substitute for thorough preparation. Hasty, half-baked plans just won’t work at the moment! So, your motto for the month is from human rights activist Malcolm X: “The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
Pisces (Feb 20-March 20)
On May 9, Venus and Neptune make beautiful music together, so put aside time to express yourself creatively, via writing, painting, photography, acting, singing, dancing or playing music. And are you bored to bits with your job? Be careful what you wish for, Fish.
With the Full Moon [and retro Mars and Saturn] causing chaos in your career zone, make sure you’re not heading off in a totally unsuitable direction… or even going backwards! Relating to others will also be tricky, as Mercury reverses through your communication zone. So strive to be extra diplomatic with those around you.
