Horoscopes for May 2015
Aries
The more you do for others around the May 3 Full Moon, the more you'll gain later. Someone might come to you then needing help or a big favor. If you
have the time and resources, do what you can. If your answer is no, you can say it with compassion. The May 17 New Moon boosts your income and earnings, but it might also boost your urge to splurge. Give money the attention it deserves and you can manage very well. Be exceptionally sharp and smart on
May 27. Save any special problem to be solved around this time.
Taurus
Love is looking for you around the May 3 Full Moon. If not looking yourself, you can try to hide, but it won't help much. Be polite and know that passions will
wane in a few days. Any new affair begun now could only be a glorious flash that fizzles. Nothing will be too hard for you around the May 17 New Moon.
Figure out what you want to work on and then jump in and finish it. You have energy and motivation like never before. Starting May 25, question an old idea
or fashion preference and prepare to be surprised.
Gemini
Take care of yourself and don't be lured into anybody else's madness as the month starts. The May 3 Full Moon is busy and exciting, but don't take anything personally. Be safe and healthy and get a lot done. At the May 17 New Moon take a beloved project out of the closet and work on what's near and
dear to your heart. You need no one's approval - in fact, no one else needs to know. The Sun enters Gemini on May 21 and the rest of the month is yours.
Mercury is retrograde now, so take your time with any new plans.
Cancer
You can have just as much fun doing your own thing as you can in a big group out in public. It can cost less, too. If friends are going to a big concert on the
weekend of the May 3 Full Moon and the music isn't your favorite, it's OK to give it a pass. Surround yourself with all your favorite people and have a great
time around the May 17 New Moon. Don't sit alone staring at the walls. Your friends won't permit it. Heal an old hurt or simply make yourself and someone
else happier on May 27.
Leo
No matter how busy work or the social scene gets, nothing can compete with the pleasures of just being home. Recharge your emotional batteries at the
May 3 Full Moon and be fresh and strong for whatever the world tosses your way. Be sharp at work after the May 17 New Moon and perhaps create a great
opportunity. Take more responsibility and win support. If interested in a change in job or career, you might be able to make a move now. Memorial Day
weekend is big but not crazy-big fun. You can feel rich and responsible at the same time
Virgo
Early in the month get back in touch with some friends who may have been absent lately. It's possible that one of them could contact you first, around the
May 3 Full Moon. Make what time you can without abandoning all of your own plans. You may crave a major escape or getaway in the middle of the month,
around the New Moon on May 17. Just clearing your head and having some quiet time may be all of the break you need. May 30 could be emotionally
rocky, but you won't make any rash decisions. If you want downtime, take it.
Libra
Money looks better than usual during the first week. See if you can save a bit more and plump up your financial cushion. People around you may be spending more, especially on the weekend of the May 3 Full Moon, but you don't have to follow their example. Someone else's concerns may try to run roughshod
over yours in the week of the May 17 New Moon. Help if you can and be grateful the problems aren't yours. On May 29 end your workweek peacefully despite any last-minute complications. If others are off balance or upset, your cool stability will automatically calm things.
Scorpio
Are you happy with your love life? The May 3 New Moon is tailored to please your heart. Pick and choose everything now - the restaurant, movie, or partner
who goes with you. People want to make you happy. The tug of romance is strong with the May 17 New Moon and you may find yourself admiring and be
attracted to all sorts of people. Find someone special or just enjoy a lot of high-quality people-watching. Emotions could run high on the weekend of May 30,
and clear thinking may be hard to come by. Lay low and be good to yourself.
Sagittarius
You don't have to tell everybody everything, and saying less could make you feel better. The May 3 Full Moon is busy, but it encourages discretion. Draw
closer to your trusted friends and learn some of their secrets. Tie up a million little loose ends in the week of the May 17 New Moon and make daily life simpler and easier than you may believe possible. Daily routine is rarely glamorous, but it will be when you do it. The weekend of May 23 is a lucky, fun time
with possibly big social plans. Mercury is retrograde now, so maybe skip any deep personal discussions.
Capricorn
Go out and have some serious fun in the first week of May. Meet some new people and make some new friends. You don't need to be intimate right away.
The May 3 Full Moon encourages you to be more sociable. A big temptation or gamble could catch your eye around the May 17 New Moon. You aren't
usually attracted to big risks, but this time you have the energy and passion to do more. Consider what it's worth to try. On the weekend of May 23 get some
serious work done and then have some seriously wonderful fun!
Aquarius
In the first week work hard and have it feel like fun. Even if you aren't thoroughly enjoying yourself, employers and co-workers will want to give you more
opportunities. You can get ahead under the May 3 Full Moon. You could put the finishing touches on something big and beautiful at home around the May
17 New Moon. If a project or problem has been lingering and defying you, you now have the fire and energy to take care of it. On May 29 you can see
through the shock value of something and decide what it's really worth to you.
Pisces
Tackle a big issue or problem in the first few days of the month. You could make a big discovery or learn an important life lesson. The May 3 Full Moon
wants you to be intellectually bold. Get curious about life, the universe, and everything after the May 17 New Moon. Let friends introduce you to cool new
places and pleasures. Don't get too scattered or hyper, but have fun and indulge a lot of minor desires. People want to be agreeable and make you happy
on May 30. Romance warms up and someone new or surprising could get infatuated with you.

Track has been a great experience for me. I’ve always been in other sports and never thought I’d like track
as much as I do. It’s given me a big opportunity to express and show my talents. Track allows you to

easily go to any field and run it off. Track is amazing and I’d recommend it for anyone who needs a coping

On May 6, 2015 I went on a trip to the Holocaust Museum and Study with Ms. Grippo and Ms. Ortiz. Ms.
Grippo and Ms. Ortiz brought the 8th grade English class and Ms. Nakashima and Mr. Crews brought their
history class. While at the museum we heard from a person that was only a kid while the holocaust was
going on. His name was Mr. Levy. He talked about hiding places to not get taken by the Nazi’s, being in an
orphanage, and the horrible things that went on during that time.
When we were at the museum we learned about the experiences others had lived through. People had no
food. They were forced to eat worms, snails, and even rocks!
The most memorable thing for me though was when a woman that worked at the museum gave a speech

about the different generations. She explained that her generation had failed at being able to make things
better and so did the generation before her. She told us that it was now up to us to make a difference. It
was really inspiring. This was a really good class trip.
