May 2: Venus Conjunct Neptune in Aries

Be prepared for deeper passion and a spark of creativity in both your relationships and in your personal pursuits. Aries brings a bold and action-oriented energy to this alignment. Chase what lights you up, especially in love and creativity. Let your imagination lead the way with a sense of spirituality mixed in.

May 4: 1st Quarter Moon in Leo

Stay the course and begin to visualize yourself achieving the intentions and goals you set during the April 27th New Moon. Embrace some of the creative and risk-taking energy of Leo to help you begin to step outside your comfort zone and begin taking your first steps forward.

Pluto in Aquarius Goes Retrograde

Over the next 5 months, you may feel challenged as you confront your shadow side, but this is also a powerful time to reflect, release old patterns, and clear space for a more empowered version of yourself to emerge. This is all about transformation through letting go.

May 5: Mercury in Aries Sextile Jupiter in Gemini

This transit, though short-lived, opens the door for positive opportunities in both personal and professional relationships. Make the most of your communication skills, as the energies flow together, possibly leading to connections with people who could open some doors.

May 6: Venus in Aries Sextile Pluto in Aquarius

This alignment can bring about powerful transformations in both relationships and in your creative or artistic endeavors. Use this time to open up to your partner about your deepest desires, or to explore your passions through creative outlets.

May 10: Mercury Enters Taurus

In this sign, Mercury provides us with a chance to slow down, ground our thoughts, and communicate with more patience and practicality. Get clear on what you want to accomplish and how you’re going to make it happen. This gifts us with a quieter, more grounded approach to thinking and speaking.

May 12: Scorpio Full Moon

This Full Moon is inviting us to take a deep emotional dive. This energy wants us to explore what lies beneath the surface, our fears, our most private emotional needs and foundations. Wherever the Full Moon shines her light, take the opportunity to reflect, release, and renew. Let go of what no longer supports your emotional stability, so you can create space for a more authentic and grounded sense of self.

Mercury in Taurus Square Pluto in Aquarius

Be prepared for a possible shift in communication patterns. Things may feel more intense, leading to power or control-driven behaviors. There’s a tendency for deep, overthinking with this connection, which can create a defensive posture in communicating.

May 17: Sun Conjunct Uranus in Taurus

This transit sparks a powerful urge for change and a craving for freedom from anything that no longer aligns with your highest good. Embrace this energy to shake things up, express your individuality, and find fresh, creative ways to share your unique voice with the world.

May 18: Mercury in Taurus Square Mars in Leo

Communication may feel strained under this transit, and irritability or a shorter fuse can come with the territory. If tensions rise, take a moment to pause, breathe, and ground yourself before reacting. A little space can go a long way in diffusing potential conflict.

Jupiter in Gemini Sextile Chiron in Aries

Jupiter’s spiritual insight and uplifting energy can help you rise above old wounds tied to your self-worth and potential. This is a powerful time to explore what healing looks like for you. Dive into what you need to do to grow your confidence, align with your values, and step more fully into your personal truth.

May 20: Sun Enters Gemini

Things start to feel lighter, livelier, and a lot more social, so you might want to keep your calendar close. Gemini season brings a refreshing wave of movement, curiosity, and variety. It’s all about staying stimulated, having conversations, and exploring new ideas. Lighthearted, chatty, and always a little bit unpredictable, this energy invites you to start summer with a sense of playfulness.

Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius

This phase is the half-way mark between the Full and New Moon. Now is the time to reevaluate and reorganize the choices you have made up to this point in the lunar cycle. It is time to weed out and again make room for the new, setting the stage for a new cycle which is rapidly approaching with the New Moon right around the corner.

May 22: Venus in Aries Trine Mars in Leo

This dynamic and passionate energy carries us into the second week of June, sparking drive, desire, and bold creativity. You might feel inspired to go after what (or who) you want with confidence. This alignment brings an irresistible mix of charm and courage. You will definitely be feeling the thrill of the chase during this time.

Sun in Gemini Sextile Neptune in Aries

This alignment brings opportunities to expand your intuition, compassion, imagination, and creativity. This is the perfect time to tap into your inner wisdom and to practice some ways to reflect and ground through meditation, time spent in nature, or journaling your deepest emotions in order to avoid some of the overwhelm that can occur with these higher emotional levels.

May 24: Saturn Enters Aries

This is a powerful combination, and the most constructive way to harness its energy is through motivation and a sense of duty. Combine initiative with responsibility. By doing so, we allow it to manifest at its highest potential, paving the way for growth, courage, and transformation. Utilize this energy to start new chapters in your life in a responsible way. Allow confidence and courage to guide the way while remaining aware of the need for hard-work and perseverance.

Sun in Gemini Trine Pluto in Aquarius

This alignment invites deep focus and powerful personal breakthroughs. You likely will feel a strong need to dive beneath the surface of things, uncovering truths and gaining a clearer understanding of what really motivates you. This energy supports an inner empowerment, allowing you to step more fully into your personal authority and create transformation at your core.

Mercury Conjunct Uranus in Taurus

Your communication becomes more grounded and intentional, yet still open to innovative thinking. During this transit, you have the potential to be a powerful communicator, able to break down complex ideas in a way that feels clear, relatable, and down-to-earth. Embrace original insights and present them through a lens of both creativity and practicality.

May 25: Mercury Enters Gemini

Mercury loves being in his sign of rulership. It brings in a breezy, sociable, and curious energy that’s all about fun conversation and mental stimulation without diving too deep. This is a great time to plan outdoor gatherings, meet new people, and say yes to more spontaneous moments. Your communication skills will be sharp, so whether you’re making big decisions or diving into something new to learn, take full advantage of this mentally charged window.

Mercury in Gemini Sextile Saturn in Aries

This alignment is great if you need to make an important decision or have a project to finish up. During this transit your thinking will be clear, focused, and you will possess good judgment and self-discipline to accomplish whatever your goals or plans are.

May 26: Mercury in Gemini Sextile Neptune in Aries

Neptune brings a touch of imagination and intuition to Mercury’s versatile and rapid thinking, creating the perfect atmosphere for creativity and innovation. Let your thoughts flow naturally—you might discover fresh perspectives or innovative ideas when you give yourself space to think outside the box.

Gemini New Moon

This New Moon brings a fresh start infused with curiosity and connection. New moons are powerful times for setting intentions, and Gemini brings a playful, communicative spark to the mix. How can you use Gemini’s curious energy to share what you know and deepen your connections? Take a little time to tune in. Journaling is a beautiful way to get clarity on what you want to call in. Let your thoughts flow, set your intentions, and see what wants to come through.

May 27: Mercury in Gemini Trine Pluto in Aquarius

Take this opportunity to tap into the curious energy of Mercury in Gemini and explore how you can begin contributing to meaningful change, both personally and collectively. Journal your thoughts, connect with and collaborate with like-minded individuals or groups, and stay open to the fresh perspectives of others.

May 30: Mercury Cazimi - Sun Conjunct Mercury in Gemini

The light is shining on our minds, bringing a powerful opportunity for amazing downloads and insights from the Universe. Be sure to capture whatever comes through, especially those late-night sparks of wisdom. Keep a notepad by your bed, jot it all down, and revisit your thoughts later with fresh clarity. Your mind knows more than you think and it’s just waiting for you to listen.
