A few days later on May 15, Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters Taurus. Over the next few weeks, conversations are much more personal. You’re hearing from important people in your life—whether that’s a friend you lost touch with, a boss who’s finally giving you a raise, or a lover who wants to discuss the future. Your mental energy is also focused on making a sustainable, long-term plan when it comes to going after any new projects you’re ready to initiate. Luck is on your side on May 18 when the Sun in Taurus links up with Jupiter in Taurus. You’re the main character for most of the month, but today it can feel like the red carpet is rolled out wherever you go! This is a day of making space for your gratitude, accepting compliments, and putting yourself out there. People are willing to support you and your desires—you’ve just got to do your part and ask!

Your love life experiences some turbulence on May 18 when Venus and Uranus, both in Taurus, meet at the same point in the sky. This is break-up or breakthrough energy—maybe you meet a soul mate in line at your local bodega, or perhaps you’re ready to say goodbye to a long-term relationship you’ve outgrown. Romantic encounters are a bit out of the ordinary today, but this energy can also be inspiring.

Prepare for a vibe shift: The Sun enters Gemini on May 20. This Gemini season, you’re ready to focus on all things practical, especially your finances. The next few weeks can be a busy time for work; you may be negotiating a raise or promotion. Maybe you’re saving up for something special or realizing you’ve got to change your spending habits.

May 23 is the busiest day this month, and it kicks off with a Full Moon in Sagittarius. This Full Moon brings a financial or emotional situation to a close. Maybe you’re settling some debt, extending forgiveness to someone (or yourself), or feeling ready to clear out some of the skeletons in your closet. On the same day, Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, meet in Taurus. Not only are you the main character, but you’re a magnet for opportunities, breakthroughs, and blessings! Jupiter, the planet of expansion, and Neptune, the planet of dreams, mingle later in the day, delivering inspiration. Finally, Venus, the planet of harmony and balance, enters Gemini, bringing some financial stability your way. Over the next few weeks, you might learn about some new work opportunities, receive a bonus check, or invest in yourself and your own skills.

On May 25, Jupiter, the planet of growth and luck, enters Gemini for the first time since June 2013. Over the next year, this can bring an opportunity to pad your wallet and savings account, but it can also kick up a desire to overindulge and overspend. Pay attention to your relationship with money and be intentional about your financial goals. Venus in Gemini mingles with Pluto in Aquarius on the same day, bringing transformation or a sense of empowerment involving your professional life and sense of security. You’re feeling confident in who you are and what you have to offer, and others are noticing.

The month ends with some shocking news on May 30 when Mercury and Uranus, both in Taurus, meet at the same point in the sky. Today, you’re ready to share news about any storylines that unfolded earlier in the month. Your words can shock and inspire others, and it feels good to speak your mind!
