You’re having a major encounter with home and family this month, five. As most people are preparing for a season of socialising, you’re suddenly more inward-focused than you’ve been in ages. If you’re not about to engage in a big-time family reunion, you may simply be reading old letters, looking at photo albums, or connecting to childhood friends on Facebook. It’s as if your past has come to greet you, whether you want it or not. A rift with your mum or dad, whether ancient or recent, can be smoothed over this month. Reach out, even if it makes you want to cry. The other possibility is that all of this is taking place in your mind, but it’s healing nonetheless. You can now work on lifelong issues that have plagued your relationships and prevented psychological growth. You have to pay attention and take action, however, it won’t happen as if by magic. Put yourself on the proverbial couch.
