May Horoscopes
We start the month in a flurry of activity with Mercury retrograde and the lunar eclipse on May 5. Plus, Mars is still out of bounds until May 4, making it a time when we need to reinforce our boundaries and focus our wild, creative urges.
Things are EMOTIONAL right now, and that’s all for a purpose. We have to feel our feelings to the nth degree in order to motivate change in our lives. Then, change ripples out into the world. We feel a groundswell of energy - a catharsis. Maybe you’ve received news that’s difficult to digest. Or perhaps you’re questioning everything. It’s okay… breathe deeply…
What’s unsettled in your heart will resolve.
Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion, and the issues that arise during Mercury retrograde cycles are often illusory. They feel real, and the fear does, too. But everything clears up on the other side of the cycle (after May 14). We can more easily digest news and information. We can more easily integrate changes into our lives.
This month shifts after Mercury goes direct. On May 16, Jupiter enters Taurus and shifts our conversations toward grounding, embodiment, and our material lives. Money is on our minds and will be for the next 12 months. But so is pleasure. Jupiter expands whatever it comes into contact with, and in this case, we’ll see a swell of delicious Venus-related Taurus themes.
What it means to be in a body at this time
How our embodied experiences connect us to manifestation
How to be at one with the Earth
Realizing the Earth is alive, and we must be in a relationship with Her
Understanding our worth is based on our aliveness and not our economic value
Reexamining consumption
Pleasure as a spiritual practice
And more!
This transit will be especially positive for our earth signs- Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Or anyone with significant earth-sign placements.
The Taurus New Moon illuminates the possibilities of this transit. Offer intentions related to fertility, the Earth, finances, and self-worth on May 19. Plant seeds, too!
On May 20, Mars enters Leo and opposes Pluto, adding fireworks to the month's end. This volatile transit can trigger all kinds of dormant emotions. But it’s also motivating!! Take a step forward in your life.
The Sun enters Gemini on May 21, bringing us into a more mentally focused time. Mercury is still in its shadow, though, and we aren’t finished cleaning our closets, literally and metaphorically. The end of the month is a good time to change your routine, try something new, and plan an adventure. Mars is in a square aspect to Jupiter on the 22nd and the Nodes on the 26th, making us feel compressed by life’s pressures. We want freedom to be ourselves and live our most purposeful lives. So, clear your schedules and embody freedom in whatever ways you can.
