You feel muted and tired at the start of the month, Gemini. Taurus season reminds you that as much as you like to go-go-go, even you require rest sometimes. This is an important time to reconnect with your inner voice and intuition and sort through your many thoughts before sharing them far and wide. You’re encouraged to slow down and prioritize your wellbeing over the coming weeks—your season is just around the corner!
Profound and transformative conversations take place on May 2 when Pluto Retrograde begins in Aquarius. Take it easy—you’re processing a lot of information and may experience a perspective shift. You’re ready to spring into action on May 3 when Mars in Aries syncs up with Pluto in Aquarius. You might be revisiting thoughts or conversations that started around January 21, when Pluto first entered Aquarius. Some may need to go back to the drawing board and others ready to re-prioritize goals and seek out people who can help.
The New Moon in Taurus on May 7 shakes you out of your comfort zone. You could have a vivid dream that feels eerie and real. Pay attention to any themes or symbols that show up, as they may offer clues to answers you’ve been seeking. This is also a powerful day to kick a habit you’ve outgrown, which is no easy feat—so carve out time for rest and regulating your nervous system.
Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters Taurus on May 15, making your day-to-day life and dream world busier. You might have to enforce some stronger boundaries, and your intuition receives a cosmic boost. A realization arrives on May 18 when the Sun in Taurus meets with Jupiter in Taurus. A breakthrough or solution finds you when you least expect it. You’re able to release any limiting beliefs that have been holding you back, or perhaps a surprising person reaches out with praise and a potential opportunity. On the same day, Venus and Uranus unite in Taurus and you’re better able to understand some of your past relationship experiences. You may be ready to own up to any unhealthy patterns and change them. A secret admirer or an ex might also reach out!
The Sun enters your sign on May 20, making you the main character of the cosmos for the next few weeks! Gemini season is finally here! You’re surrounded by potential and new beginnings. This is an aligned time to go after a personal goal and take up space! Don’t shy away from your self-expression, either. Some interesting and important people may also enter your sphere—like a new lover, or even a business collaborator.
May 23 is the most action-packed day in the sky, and it starts off with a Full Moon in Sagittarius. A relationship or business contract may have run its course, or perhaps you’ve reached a turning point in your dynamic. Later in the day, something exciting is percolating behind-the-scenes when Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, team up in Taurus. Lucky news finds you, but you may not be ready to share it just yet. Jupiter, a planet of support, and Neptune, a planet of wishes, link up to make some of your dreams a possibility. Maybe there’s a role in development for you at work, or someone from your past reaches out to make amends or extend an opportunity. Venus, the planet of love and harmony, enters your sign toward the end of the day and brings you luck and blessings over the next few weeks. You can make exciting progress on a personal goal or meet a potential partner.
On May 25, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and beliefs, enters your sign for the first time since June 2013. Think back to what was unfolding for you between June 2012-2013, the last time Jupiter took a tour through your zodiac sign. Similar themes may pop up, but this is a major event that happens every 12 years. You can make expectational progress on anything you set your mind to, experience growth in some of your most important relationships, and attract your desires into your reality. Venus in Gemini mingles with Pluto in Aquarius on the same day, bringing a hint of optimism to any ongoing negotiations or discussions. The month ends with a breakthrough on May 30 when Mercury and Uranus meet in Taurus. Your typical routine is disrupted and secrets are revealed!
