KAB Breastscopes: Your monthly astrological guide to breast health.

Here at Keep A Breast, we believe that everything is connected and that our overall health and wellness is influenced by everything around us. We had the idea of creating personalized health guides based on the zodiac (with a focus on breast health, of course). We’ve teamed up with amazing intuitive tarot reader, Reiki healer, and dream interpreter, Christine Aprile (of House of Intuition TV) to bring you monthly wellness-centered horoscopes.

May 2018 KAB Breastscopes

One of the most noteworthy celestial transits of 2018 begins May 15th as Uranus, the planet of sudden change enters Taurus, the grounded sign of the bull. These two have opposing agendas: Taurus loves comfort and routine, while Uranus thrives on chaos and shaking the status quo. This combination can bring unexpected upheavals in the realm of work and cash, so expect a bumpy ride starting in mid-May. The full moon on May 29th could bring out the competitive edge of even the timidest personalities, creating a winner takes it all friction that is likely to end with some sore losers.There’s a sexy month ahead for Aries, who will find themselves surrounded by an atmosphere ripe for romance and new encounters. Tap into your sensual side by incorporating aromatherapy into your daily routine to help get in the mood. Scent can be a powerful tool for mental and emotional health, so try adding essential oils such as lavender and eucalyptus to your bath or moisturizer.It’s your birthday month Taurus, so set new intentions in honor of your solar cycle. New beginnings are possible on all fronts, and with Uranus moving into your Sun sign, you can expect a thrill or two. As an earthy individual, you’re excellent at manifesting opportunities, and what better way than journaling your goals for the year ahead. Putting thoughts and emotions to paper can be a powerful and cathartic exercise in personal clarity.Geminis will be feeling especially courageous this month, which will you tap into the quick pace of the month ahead. Use this increase in energy to revamp your fitness plan, balancing cardio and strength training for optimal results. Regular physical exercise can significantly help reduce your risk of developing breast cancer, so lace up those running shoes and get active!Those born under the sign of the Crab can expect pressures to lift a bit this month, promising steady progress and a lighter tone for the spring and summer ahead. Cancer is among the most easily influenced sign, so taking time out to reassess your goals can prove invaluable. You may need to reexamine some painful areas of your past in the weeks ahead, so stay flexible this month by incorporating some yoga into your fitness routine.Tensions could run high for Leo this month, and while it isn’t all bad, many of you will need to curb your temper and tap your extra reserves of patience. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, especially in areas where you’ve been struggling. Leo can benefit from detoxifying foods this month to support adrenal health to avoid burnout, so try including broccoli, beets, and green tea to your diet. Your emotions will be front and center this month, dear Virgo, so don’t underestimate the power of being in touch with your feelings. Virgo’s may be pressed to make some quick decisions in the weeks ahead, and you’ll need to tap into your deeper desires to make the right moves. Think about adding a high-quality liquid B vitamin complex to your wellness regimen to help keep your mind sharp. The month of May is the perfect time for Libra natives to get serious about work or studies, so use the month ahead to up your girl boss game. These natives may have to filter out unnecessary and outmoded habits, shifting their focus back to self-improvement. Enhancing kidney function can be beneficial for Libra this season, so consider adding Parsley to your menu. This herb is a natural diuretic, cleansing the urinary tract and eliminating toxins from the kidneys.The good times continue this month for Scorpio, but you’ll need to remain calm and composed as the universe works behind the scenes. The sign of the Scorpion is especially susceptible to shifting moods and emotions, and your challenge this month is to allow personal and professional relationships to unfold at their own pace. Try passionflower tea as a remedy for any insomnia or anxiety this month. Passionflower contains GABA, a mood stimulating hormone that increases feelings of well being and peace.Stay busy and take chances this month, Sagittarius. May is gearing up to be an excellent time period for adventure, and you’re likely to be feeling like the life of the party. You may have to dial yourself back a bit for best results, but in general, luck is on the side of the archer. To make the best of this positive month, add some extra legwork (squats, anyone?) to your workout routine, to give you added power and energy to literally and figuratively run after your goals.This month will be rather quiet for Capricorns, making it an excellent time for reconnecting with loved ones and focusing on self-improvement. Capricorns are encouraged to dive into educational pursuits this month, and it’s a great time to sharpen your skills. In other words, this month is for you! Consider taking up a new type of workout and push yourself beyond normal routines.There’s a strong focus on getting ahead regarding work this month for Aquarius, and any relationship issues will likely take the back seat to your ambitions. You’ll need your mental acuity to steer the ship, and there are several herbs that help facilitate a sharp mind. Gingko Biloba improves nerve signal transmission, so adding this herbal supplement to your daily vitamin regimen may help to support your brain during this busy month.Pisces can expect a fairly quiet month, but you are urged to find peace of mind through meditation this May. In other words, resist the urge to think yourself into a corner! The sensitive sign of the fish should watch their anxiety levels for the next few weeks, and a tendency to ponder worst-case scenarios won’t help the situation. Try breathing practices such as the 4-7-8 technique and bring your focus back to the here and now so you can release some tension.
