Aries Horoscope for the week of May 22, 2011

Aries, you have had your focus on issues of self and values and now your attention will include your family, neighbors and colleagues. This is a good time to consider how you communicate with the people around you, consider how you really feel about things and clear up any misunderstandings. It is also important to remember that an important part of communicating is listening – it’s not all about expressing your views! You may also be experiencing your usual spring fever. Even if the daily grind won’t allow you to leave everything behind and escape for a real vacation, try to work in a hike exploring a new location or break the monotony with a weekend get-away; it will really help refresh you right now. These little escapes will be a good time to evaluate how far you have gotten on the goals you set for yourself at your birthday. You won’t feel pressured to drive toward your goals, but you will be glad in the long run if you spend some time making sure you’re on track over the next few weeks. The last year may have been emotionally draining as you spent a lot of time learning more about who you are and becoming more comfortable with your true self but the road blocks to growth may have felt overwhelming. Things should start shaking loose and moving in a more positive direction and life in general should ease up over the next few months.
