May’s astrology ushers in a gentle and soothing energy, a welcome reprieve after the chaotic energies of April. With the sun and Venus now in grounded Taurus (and Mercury joining on May 15), coupled with the closure of eclipse season, May’s monthly horoscope offers a sense of stability and sensuality. Not much should come as a surprise this month, at least until Jupiter enters Gemini at the end of May.
The cosmic moment of tension occurs early in the month as Venus squares off with Pluto and Pluto stations retrograde on May 2. This alignment may bring to the surface desires for secrecy, jealousy, and intense passions, urging us to be mindful of our wishes. During Pluto’s retrograde until fall, we are prompted to delve deep into our hidden thoughts, fears, and experiences, particularly in the area of our chart ruled by Aquarius.
The new moon in Taurus on May 7 encourages us to reflect on our sense of security, financial stability, and fulfillment of our desires. Setting intentions around these themes can help us align with our personal needs and desires.
As the sun enters Gemini on May 20, we transition into the lively and dynamic energy of Gemini season. The full moon in Sagittarius on May 23 coincides with Venus meeting Jupiter, creating a day filled with delicious and abundant energy.
With Jupiter entering Gemini on May 25, our focus shifts towards ideas and communication as the planet of luck expands our mental horizons. This transit emphasizes the importance of intellectual pursuits and stimulating conversations for the next year. If you’re a Gemini, you’re in for an extra boost of luck, while everyone else will feel the positive energy in the area of their chart influenced by Gemini.
