Things are moving along at an exciting pace, Pisces! Taurus season puts you in a more talkative mood and encourages you to strengthen your connections with your loved ones. Over the coming weeks, some important conversations are on the table and you may be negotiating new contracts or projects. You’re also eager to learn something new by signing up for a class or spending time with others. This is the time for you share your thoughts, ideas, and feelings with others.
You’re facing a reality check on May 2 when Pluto Retrograde begins in Aquarius. Hidden information, feelings, or memories from the past bubble up to be addressed. Although this shift might feel emotional and uncomfortable, this is an opportunity to face some of your fears. Catharsis and transformation are just around the corner. Your livelihood might be undergoing a transformative shift on May 3, when Mars in Aries syncs up with Pluto in Aquarius. Maybe you’re ready to take action on a desire, or you’re working behind-the-scenes on a project that has the potential to change your everyday life. Your strategic mind is working hard today.
The New Moon in Taurus on May 7 coincides with the start of an important conversation. Whatever is discussed today can feel jarring or exciting—there is an element of unpredictability to it. If you’ve been struggling with negative self-talk or limiting beliefs, this New Moon kicks those pesky patterns to the curb. You’re breaking free from old beliefs and recognizing a new way forward. The Sun in Taurus and Uranus in Taurus meet on May 13, bringing more surprising information your way. Maybe you receive a surprising invitation, accept a promising work opportunity, or run into someone you haven’t seen for quite some time. Recognition comes from unexpected sources today.
Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters Taurus on May 15, bringing important news your way. Over the next few weeks, your communication skills are sharpened. You’re taking time to articulate your desires, and the plans you put into motion now have the potential to bring about some of your goals. Your schedule might also fill up—maybe you signed up for a weekly workshop, you’re attending more social events, or you’re investing time in your local community. You’re being recognized for your ideas and ingenuity on May 18 when the Sun in Taurus and Jupiter in Taurus meet up in the sky. Encouraging news or expansive opportunities might also land in your inbox. If you have an important message to share, speak your mind and people will listen! On the same day, Venus in Taurus meets with Uranus in Taurus at the same point in the sky. This can make your interactions a little more shocking—and you might be spending time with someone you don’t normally see.
The Sun enters Gemini on May 20, putting you in a more private mood. Over the next few weeks, you’re focused on recuperating from all of the socializing you did during Taurus season. This Gemini season, you’re focusing on spending time with your chosen family and investing your energy into your home. This is a great time to do a purge around the house and to prioritize rest over any FOMO. Important topics with roommates or family members might also become more of a focus and, as an added bonus, you might receive some exciting professional or personal opportunities, too.
May 23 is a busy day in the sky and it all kicks off with a Full Moon in Sagittarius. You’re ready to close a chapter, and you might be feeling sentimental and sensitive. Both your personal and professional lives are busier than ever—you might land a promotion, decide to leave your current job, or reach an important turning point with a goal you’ve been working toward. When it comes to your accomplishments and achievements, this marks a moment of celebration—so soak it up! Uplifting and supportive news makes its way to you on the same day, when Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, meet up in Taurus. You could land an opportunity that feels like a dream come true or maybe you’re celebrating a milestone with friends—like an engagement or graduation. This is the day to apply to that job you’ve always wanted, ask for a raise, take a risk in the name of one of your dreams!
Later that same day, Jupiter in Taurus connects with Neptune in Pisces for the first time since 2020, inspiring forward momentum in conversations about your personal goals. You might sign an exciting contract today, or you’re ready to bring a creative hobby to life. This is a powerful day for manifestation, so work your magick! Towards the end of the day, Venus enters Gemini, bringing your attention to your chosen family and living situation. Over the next few weeks, you might experience more harmony and ease in your close relationships. If you’re searching for an apartment or new roommate, this transit can bring someone or something worthwhile into your orbit. When it comes to your romantic relationships, you’re less afraid of sharing your vulnerable side.
On May 25, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, enters Gemini for the first time since June 2012-13. Think back to that time period—what was your main focus, especially as it relates to your living situation, family relationships, and career? Similar themes may come up over the next year. This can be an exciting time for buying or selling a home, moving cross-country, or even expanding your family. This transit will also push you outside of your comfort zone when it comes to your personal relationships, so prepare to explore uncharted territory! Venus in Gemini mingles with Pluto in Aquarius on the same day, and you’re ready to share a new side of yourself with someone important in your life. Interactions feel raw, vulnerable, and healing today. The month ends on May 30 with Mercury and Uranus, both in Taurus, linking up at the same point in the sky. You’re ending the month with some surprising news or opportunities arriving!
