You’re in the mood to nest, Aquarius. Taurus season always encourages you to slow down and focus on your personal life. The next few weeks will have you spending more time with family, focusing on your sense of comfort, and cleaning your home. You’re also in a more nostalgic mood; you’re contemplating old memories that you’re either ready to break free of or mine some inspiration from. This is also a powerful time to increase your relationship with your own intuition by looking into spiritual practices from your ancestral lineage. Your spirit team is ready to guide you—all you have to do is show up and ask.
You’re questioning who you are and what feels authentic on May 2 when Pluto Retrograde begins in your sign. This brings you back to any major personal revelations that were percolating around January 21, when Pluto first entered your sign this year. This can mark an empowering moment or bring up fears around your true self-expression. You’re going after your personal goals on May 3 when Mars in Aries mingles with Pluto in Aquarius. Negotiations pick up steam, and you’re making decisions today that feel like they could change the trajectory of your life for the better.
The New Moon in Taurus on May 7 moves through your 4th House of home, family, and foundations. You might be moving or changing up your living space in a significant way. This is also a powerful day to process the past and break free from any generational cycles that are leaving you feeling stuck. New developments in your closet relationships also begin to unfold. The Sun in Taurus and Uranus in Taurus meet at the same point in the sky on May 13, shining a light on something that was once hidden. You could learn something surprising from a family member, or maybe something unexpected takes place at home.
Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Taurus on May 15 and you’re spending more time focused on your chosen family’s needs. Over the next few weeks, you might be redecorating or reorganizing your space and clearing out some junk. This will also put you in a more nostalgic mood and have you starting conversations with, “Remember when…?” A few days later on May 18, the Sun in Taurus meets with Jupiter in Taurus, lending you support. This may mark a day of celebration—maybe there’s a family reunion or a house-warming party. Intriguing developments in your career can also unfold. On the same day, Venus and Uranus, both in Taurus, team up in the sky. Someone might surprise you with something special. Interactions within your closest relationships benefit from honesty and authenticity—even if what you have to share feels uncomfortable.
The Sun enters Gemini on May 20, putting you back in a sociable and outgoing mood. The next few weeks encourage connection and creativity. If you’re single, you’re ready to put yourself back out there this Gemini season. Meanwhile, couples are focused on exploring their physical connection and spark. You might also notice that you’re receiving more attention—so use it to your advantage. This is a great time to apply for a dream job or go viral on TikTok for a creative hobby.
May 23 is a chaotic day in the sky and it all starts with a Full Moon in Sagittarius. This brings a moment of culmination to something you’ve been working on over the past six months. This is a lucky day for chance meetings and mingling with people who can help bring your dreams to life. On the same day, Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, sync up in Taurus. There is news worth celebrating in your personal life—maybe you’re moving in with a lover, landing a dream job, or experiencing a positive shift within your family. The deep well of gratitude continues when Jupiter in Taurus mingles with Neptune in Pisces. You’re recognizing who sees you for who you really are and feeling grateful for the stability this offers you. You could also learn some news about a potential dream gig or receive a sentimental gift from a loved one. Later in the day, Venus, the planet of love and finances, enters Gemini, making you extra lucky. For the next few weeks, your charm and magnetism draw others in and leave them wanting more. This transit gives a boost to your dating life and to any your manifestations that you’re trying to call in. This is your cosmically lucky time to put yourself, your work, and your desires out there!
On May 25, Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, enters Gemini for the first time since June 2012-13. You’re reconnecting with your joy and gratitude on a deeper level. Some of your personal desires will manifest over the coming year. You might also experience a string of romantic flings! On the same day, there’s more vulnerability in some of your romantic ties as Venus in Gemini meets with Pluto in Aquarius. You’re not afraid to share your shadow side, and this can lead to a stronger emotional and physical connection. You might also be presented with some opportunities that vibe with your personal goals. The month ends with some shocking news on May 30 when Mercury and Uranus unite in Taurus. You might make a surprising personal announcement or learn a family secret.
