May 2008 

This is a nutty month for you. Nuts of all kinds will work, too! Check out trout almandine, nutty coconut ice cream, and pecan-crusted chicken. Or simply grab some mixed nuts out of the can or jar! No matter how you get your nuts this month, protein in the form of nuts is a good choice. Brunches are better than breakfast in May, as you are so busy with work projects that you are burning the midnight oil frequently. You are in a very auspicious period, however, so nothing will be said about your work ethic. There is a simple caution that things could get really crazy around the 22nd of the month, so prepare ahead, please. Nuts are usually a beige color with some being more of a brown and some even leaning toward green. Work these colors into your food and clothing choices this month. Fish and seafood is a must for dining out, so visit your local seafood restaurants often in May! minute of it!

Life can be challenging for sure, especially when one wants to play instead of work! You appear to be the life of many parties in May. That is because you exude that “blue blood” energy so well! Be careful toward the middle of the month, though, as the full moon in Scorpio will not be kind to Leos born late in August. Your stress factors will soar and you might even have to seek medical attention for back problems. Eating fresh fruits and veggies is a must. Visit a local farmers market or produce section of your grocery store. Eggplant is the A+ choice along with blackberries, blueberries, and purple plums. When dining out, select dishes that have eggplant and desserts that have the blue/black/purple fruits. These will help maintain a healthy body during this stressful month. A classy, top-notch hotel restaurant is the place for you to be in May. The music, the great servers, and the food will all meet your standards for first class.

May is here and you are beginning an uplifting cycle. The problem is there is a new moon energy that really wants you to think twice about decisions you made last week. You have until the full moon in Scorpio on the 19th to make changes. After the 26th of May, new contracts or projects should be delayed until after June 20th. Eating out is the best thing for you in May because you have no time at home to really prepare anything. Do keep crackers and cheese and wines on hand for quick pick-me-ups or for drop-in guests. In fact, pick up a few fresh pastries and breads from the bakery for those early mornings when you are in a rush. Grilled chicken and anything with dill is a sure winner. There are a number of dips with dill, and fish entrees with a dill sauce that will tantalize your taste buds and give you a lift! Ice cream is for dessert.

You look like limp asparagus!! You have this yellow-green color surrounding you and you want someone to notice. Well, consider yourself noticed this month! There are many miles to cover and you should be ready to travel. Lock in your location; grab your bottled water and go. Stop along the way and treat yourself to local dishes. You enjoy other cultures, and this is one way to experience something like that. Fresh-brewed coffee is another treat for travelers. Seemingly you like yours “straight” without flavors. If travelling where it is warm, drive through for a frappaccino. This will cool down any hot-blooded Sagittarius, especially those born in late November. Asparagus and lamb seem to be in the dishes that stir your senses. If travelling by car, asparagus “sticks” with a great dip are perfect for keeping the appetite under control. For the more advanced palate, pheasant dishes with warm raspberry or orange sauces appeal to you.

The planet that rules Capricorn, Saturn, is now gaining its strength and returning to the dance floor. You have felt as though your hands were tied behind your back. Now you are free. This is a month for action. A new moon in a fellow earth sign will support your projects and decisions. Give this month your all. You will reap the benefits quickly if you do. Meat is a must have in May. Pork or lamb chops, steaks, beef ribs, pork ribs, all have your name. There could be a big cookout, and these are just a few of the offerings, but I feel many will be dishes you cook at home as well as some you order while dining out. You really like fully flavored meats, too, like those that have been marinated or seasoned really well. You seem to be attacking projects with just as much gusto in May. With your ruler in top form, go right ahead. Make things happen.
