As we enter day 23,421 of lockdown, we begin to accept it (sort of) as the new normal.

We’re at home baking and tik toking our way through, yearning for some semblance of the reality we used to know.

Some have been able to slow down and take stock of life. While others have felt the confinement and uncertainty unbearable.

There is no right way to feel right now.

There’s no pressure to bake banana bread and be fluent in Spanish by the end of this lockdown. But if that helps you, good for you.

We’re all doing the best we can and that’s good enough.

We check in with the stars to see what May has in store.

ARIES

You’re a go-getter, Aries.

Sitting around and twiddling thumbs isn’t for you, so this month you’re struggling.

CAPRICORN

Trying to make sense of the world, Capricorn?

Since Jupiter entered your sign in December last year you’ve been observing things differently.

You’ve been looking inward on how to make things better and having a more laid back perspective.

This month, focus on the things you want to achieve and actually put the effort into getting them done.

Even a small step is a step in the right direction.

You’ve got major potential, you’re just not always comfortable letting it out for us all to see.

Time to go hard and stay home, Capricorn.

It’s time to own it, Aquarius.

This month you might find them getting on top of you so it’s time to let it out.

Say what you need to say, even if they don’t want to hear it. Because you deserve to be heard, too.

Find a space to nurture your homely side and start a mini DIY project.

Your home is your safe space, so spend some time on making it just right for you.
