Mibbascopes: May 2016

Welcome to Mibbascopes - horoscopes for all of your Mibba and writing futures! Look below to see what's in store for you this month.

War - 8,000 w/c

The Light of a Thousand Dying Stars - She Beckons | The Way I Used to Be

Confused. Burnt. Mutilation.

Dear Aquarius, this month you'll find happiness in nurturing old bonds. Whether this be in the form of family, old friends, or those stale stories you have sitting in an abandoned folder, the stars have aligned to create the perfect environment for these relationships to flourish. Look for the support of Scorpio's to help you through any shocking new truths you may uncover and try to avoid any unnecessary attachments to new imagery.

Religious – 30,000 w/c

Smoke Season - Pixie Dust | Your Heart Is a Muscle the Size of a Fist

Corrosive. Watch. Left.

Lovely Pisces, don't be discouraged by the apparent degeneration of your writing appetites this month. It's simply being held captive until the center of the moon's cycle. When the moon is at its fullest, you'll be at your most creative. Look for a message from a friendly Virgo to help rouse your authorial juices. Seek out friendships where the words 'wolf' or 'apricot' can be found; these will be most beneficial.

Adventure – 3,000 w/c

Mauricio - Violet Touch | Truthwitch

Weak. Groovy. Picnic.

Ethereal Aries, the month of May might be the perfect time to tie up any loose ends, as June will be your month of renewal. Take control of any wayward writing projects and focus your attention to, at least, deciding on an appropriate ending. If you're feeling particularly ambitious, try to close up any writing contests you may be hosting or participating in. Be sure to avoid any head-butting with Sagittarius as it may prove to be concussive.

Comedy – 2,000 w/c

In the Night - Platform Heels and Heart of Bees | American Housewife: Stories

Gurgle. Volume. Antique.

Wonderful Taurus, it's no coincidence that you may be feeling useless during this month. Since May is your powerhouse, you may be feeling a creepy disconnect for any writing project you started outside this month. Take a break from your normal schedule plans and try something new. Live a little. If possible, look into a short and quick collaboration with a Libra. You may enjoy it.

Drama – 9,000 w/c

After Hours - En Far | The Nest

Eagle. Absurd. Greatest.

Illustrious Gemini, your obsession with that fandom is getting, quite frankly, out of control. We are exhausted by your endless diatribes. It's terrifying how quickly your mild interest has mutated into a frightening fixation. We're worried, we are all worried. Consider trying a new fandom or taking this month to explore your own ideas. Any original work published this month will be well received. Aries' companions will serve as great sounding boards.

Crime – 1,000 w/c

Uncharted Waters - Ride the Wind Back to Me | Lilac Girls

Column. Percussive. Chalk.

Glorious Cancer, if you're looking for inspiration, look no further than your very own birthplace. This month, your hometown will be a gold-mine of new ideas and heavy-lifting muses, so get prepared to put pen to paper—repeatedly. Remember that no seed of innovation should be disregarded this month. If necessary, be sure to keep a list of what comes to you for further exploration later. If you need someone to help you focus, Leo's are a good choice.

Sci Fi – 5,000 w/c

Marks - Funeral | Passenger

Warrior. Animalistic. Eerie.

For the ferocious Leo, a little competition can be quite healthy, especially when working towards a goal. Take some time this month to peruse Mibba's Contest and Challenges forum for something that catches your eye. If you'd like an extra kick, look for a contest one of your rivals has joined and sign up too. If they ask you about it, act as though it was just a happy little coincidence. No one will ever know. Another helpful hint, contests hosted by Pisces’ will be especially lucrative this month.

Horror – 4,000 w/c

Round One - The Warning | The Passenger

Flush. Murderer. Androgynous.

Virtuous Virgo, please remain vigilant! Be on the lookout for attacks on your work from (probably) faceless anons. Remember that your writing is phenomenal in its own right, and don't let these naysayers keep you down. If you're having trouble gaining new readers or subscribers, May is a good month to pimp out your work. The Tips forum or blogs section will be worthwhile venues for you. Find strength in your Gemini friends.

Biography – 10,000 w/c

Ugly - The Ship and the Shore | Shallow Graves

Criminal. Winter. Memory.

Lively Libra, it's time to go back to basics. The key to a good piece of writing is a good foundation, and the key to a good foundation is minding the fundamentals. If you have nothing new on the horizon for May, take this month to review some of your WIPs and reinforce the parts of your sum. Look more closely at things like character development, setting description, and the pace at which your plot is moving along. If you find yourself in need of help, reach out to an Aquarius. If you find your creative juices overflowing, try starting an idea journal.

Romance – 20,000 w/c

Smoke and Mirrors - Far Beyond Yonder | Miller's Valley

Expert. Enormous. Combustible.

Indifferent Scorpio, you can do it, put your heart into it! This is your time to OWN the Mibba Events! If you've signed up for the Mibba Writing Cup, you can definitely complete your goal. If you were too late for the Writing Cup, try the Activity Challenge. There are a lot of tasks to complete, but if anyone can dominate, it's you! No more pie in the sky, for you; you can get your just-desserts right now! And speaking of desserts, try a banana split before month's end. Barring a dangerous or deadly allergy, it will be the best thing you consume all month. If that delicious ice cream treat is too big for you, share with a Capricorn; they could honestly use the pick-me-up.

Thriller – 7,000 w/c

Crooked Heart - Salt Water | The Imposter Queen

Marble. Blankness. Disorientation.

Prickly Sagittarius, it may seem like you're drawing inspirational blanks this month, but don't fret. Though your creative juices may be stymied in the light of day, you'll find that your writing cup runneth over by nightfall. Plan accordingly. If your creativity starts to overflow into your dreams, be sure to keep a dream journal nearby. Perhaps on the night-table next to your bed or in your pillowcase (please watch out for pointy pen or pencil ends). Expect a gift from a Cancer friend, but please open it cautiously. Cancers can be kind of seedy.

Drama – 6,000 w/c

Dirty Angels - Clear | Rebel of the Sands

Nice. Scheme. Bleak.

Capricious Capricorn, prone to fits of rage, you certainly are! Be especially weary of your emotions, for they may lead you down a dark path. If you feel the need to violently express yourself this month, take it out on paper (or on your keyboard and an open word document). Funnel your emotions into an intense story or poem. If you find yourself blinded by sentiment and unable to formulate a coherent thought, consult a friend (perhaps a Taurus).
