La'awiyah

La'awiyah accompanies the period from 11 to 16 May and belongs to the Cherubim. Its motto is «With the strength of my heart, I overcome limits». It shares its name with the La'awiyah of June, which belongs to the Thrones: two related images of the same task, building a bridge between what is already visible and what remains to be imagined, known or expressed.

The May portrait foregrounds strength and the desire to be admired; the June portrait emphasises tenderness and the need to be loved. The images of divine twins, from Castor and Pollux to Shu and Tefnut, evoke this connection between two sides. May's La'awiyah is associated with Tefnut's sudden power: an energy seeking the courage to cross a threshold.

You may feel only partly contained by the life others consider normal. Images, intuitions, interests and aspirations take you elsewhere. Sometimes a thought seems to arrive fully formed, or a distant place feels familiar. The gift to cultivate is the ability to explore and give creative form to these experiences, without reducing everything to what you can already explain.

The obstacle is hesitation at that boundary. If you wait for a great love story, sudden good fortune or someone from the past to restore your purpose, you may remain motionless for a long time. Regret and dreams become places to hide from the choice to use your talents. The feeling of being late finds no answer while you postpone the step you want to take.

The threshold can have a very concrete form. Working abroad, archaeology, studying inner life, a spiritual search or theatre allows you to encounter a different world. Freely acknowledging an aspect of your own identity can also become an important transition. Others do not have to find it extraordinary: what matters is that it makes your participation in life more truthful.

When you make room for this exploration, practical qualities that previously lay idle may emerge: versatility, intuition, communication skills, courage and the desire to establish yourself. Expansiveness allows you to reach people and express your interest in them openly. The stage conveys this transition well: it joins the visible part to the hidden space where the performance takes shape.

Gianni Boncompagni, Claudio Baglioni and Fiorello represent the relationship with a wide audience and the ability to engage it. Claudio Monteverdi, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Salvador Dalí and George Lucas evoke different ways of building an imaginative world and giving it a presence in the arts. Their place in this portrait is talent that finds a form it can communicate, rather than remaining a private world with no way out.

If this space is denied, creative desire can turn into envy of those who dare. You may become irritable, proud and gloomy, hide what you feel and discourage those who ask for your help. Failing to acknowledge merit, or deliberately praising someone else, can also become a way of keeping others below their potential. At home and at work, this attitude weighs especially on those seeking your approval.

There is also an intermediate situation: you begin to dare and achieve some results, but part of the fear remains. Recognition may then feed vanity and disproportionate reactions. A small disagreement becomes a rupture, a sudden passion leads you to neglect a commitment, and the need to assert yourself may push you to discredit someone. Success alone does not resolve what you have not yet learnt to understand.

La'awiyah's direction is to continue exploring after the first applause. Giving creativity depth, recognising envy and remaining responsible in relationships allow courage to become steadier. The bridge you build is useful when it opens space for others too, without asking them to remain in the shadows so that you can shine.
