Aries (March 21 – April 19)
After the solar eclipse on April 8, you’ve had lots of time to focus on yourself, Ram. Career is a big topic for you in May; this is a good time for professional development. Jupiter entering Gemini on May 25 activates your third house, causing you to want to travel locally more, and the presence of your siblings and neighbours will be more prominent.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
It is your season, Bull, and the new moon that also lands in your sign on May 7 is a new start for you. Halfway through May, your practical energies will be supported by the thinking and communication powers of Mercury entering your sign. This is a good time for steadily achieving your goals and tending to practical matters, which is already your natural strength.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
With Jupiter entering your sun sign on May 25, this is the ushering in of a blessed year of knowledge. Because of this transit, you may also be more inclined towards spirituality—or at least, your ideas will be supported by your intuition. The new moon on the May 7 passing through your 12th house supports this spiritual focus.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
11th-house energy is present this month for you, Crab, as the new moon in Taurus on May 7 forms a sextile with Cancer. This is good for making new friendships and hanging out in new groups of people, and also trying new hobbies. Social media may be tied up in both of these things—someone might reach out offering this kind of opportunity. The full moon in Sagittarius on May 23 will call for you to look at your day-to-day life, activities, work, and health.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
This month may be difficult for you in your work, Lion, but rest assured, there isn’t truly a bad aspect (astrology pun!) to this energy. Your blood, sweat, and tears are bringing you bread, even if work is challenging, says the Taurus new moon creating a square to your sign in the 10th house. Your creative projects are overall strengthened this month.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Self-confidence will be marked in the first few weeks of the month. Jupiter entering Gemini on May 25 passes through your ninth house of foreign travel, higher learning, optimism, and spirituality, making the end of the month a great time for a trip or taking some classes.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Partnerships are always marked in a Libra’s life, and this month is no exception—Venus in Taurus brings cozy feelings to relationships and physical presence. Venus sextile Neptune on May 21 will bring dreaminess and compassion to your relationship. Mars in Aries will help bless you with the drive and life energy forward in your endeavours.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
With Pluto going into a temporary retrograde May 2, resist the urge to indulge in power plays during the first week of May. Luck may come to your romantic and/or business partner(s) around the new moon on May 7. You will find it easier to relax in the second half of the month, with Jupiter sextiling Neptune on May 23, allowing you to tend to your inner garden.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You spoke to your vision to the world in the high-energy week of April 29 to May 5, especially with the reflective energy of Pluto’s retrograde back through Aquarius starting May 2. Existing health problems will lessen, and you’ll be more focused on your day-to-day activities, as the new moon on May 7 passes through your sixth house. Enjoy the full moon in your sign on May 23!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
You’re ready to make well-thought-out decisions and are not in a hurry to act. Love in your life might be, or already has been, entering a lot of changes. Because the new moon crosses your fifth house on May 7, you will be strong in the sensual and creative side of life and focused on creative projects. The full moon on May 23 is a time for rest and spiritual reflection.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Home, family life, and mother-related topics will come up on May 7—but you may have to look at these matters differently. Under the influence of the sun, Pluto, and Uranus, a lot of change and growth is ahead for you, and it’s likely you already know in which areas this will be. Mercury in Aries will cause an urge for recklessness—don’t. Slow down. Your career will greatly advance this month.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You’re feeling more self-confident than normal in the first half of the month—the concessions you normally make for others are lessened. Surround yourself with the people you love on the new moon occurring May 7. Some Pisces may have some of their dreams come true this month. However, many may be undergoing compassion fatigue around the full moon on May 23 as the full moon squares your sign.
