Aries
What are you waiting for? May is a fantastic month to leap into action and get ahead. Plus, the stars are backing you as your ruler Mars powers through your star sign Aries for the first time in two years. Mars rules energy, physical strength, courage, drive and speed. At the same time, you have talk planet Mercury retracing its steps through Aries up until the 15th. Therefore, get things sorted and address anything that went wrong last month. Mercury and Mars working together are encouraging you to walk your talk and do what you say.
May is an abundant month in nature and, if you play your cards right, you can make things grow and flourish. The New Moon in Taurus on the 8th is an ideal date to launch a money-making venture. The 18th and 23rd are both fantastic dates to attract what you want into your life. If you’re a typical Aries, you’re a natural risk-taker and it’s a month when you’re wise to pay homage to the age-old adage, ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’.
Also, Gemini season could be unusually social from the 20th onwards. This has a lot to do with big planet Jupiter moving into Gemini on the 26th. This is your communication and community sector, a time to find your voice and love thy neighbour. You’re being called out into the world, so learn a language, start a podcast or website, teach or pass on your ideas and find your tribe.
Taurus
What’s important in the month of May is to know what it is you want. Once you’re in touch with your values and what matters to you most of all, then you can go about creating more of it in your life. It’s an ideal month to get to grips with a slower pace, freedom, adventure or a new innovation – whatever grabs you personally. The stars are backing you to say yes to your personal success story.
You may want to take a step back from a job or role that’s associated with power as the month begins. Perhaps, you’ve had enough of feeling controlled or powerless. The start of the month could bring an important shift or change. Then, you can focus on your personal goals and aims. Events on or around the 13th, 18th, 23rd & 31st could be electrifying, exciting and full of promise. Whatever you’re involved in, make sure it’s your gig or your happiness that counts.
If you’re a typical Taurus, money is always important in your life. And, with Jupiter’s move into Gemini and your personal money sector on the 26th, you’re heading into a year when money and opportunity are linked. The focus throughout May is on you and reorienting your compass to ensure you’re on track and doing more of what you love. The path to happiness lies through being true to yourself.
Gemini
Your ruling planet Mercury is retracing its steps through Aries and your friendship and group sector up until the 15th. This is where life could speed up and fast. Plus, it’s an ideal time to right any wrongs or sort out a misunderstanding. Action planet Mars adds passion and drive to the mix and it’s an ideal month to find your tribe and be active within society. This could mean joining a sports team or finding your voice as a protestor.
Yet, it’s not all about joining with others this month, as the cosmic spotlight is turned firmly towards yourself. If you can take time out to listen to your inner voice or engage in ritual and prayer, make it happen. There’s a buzz of activity that could trigger a spiritual awakening within you – key dates are 13th, 18th, 23rd & 31st. At the very least, slow things down and engage in journalling, yoga or meditation to still your busy mind.
There seems to be plenty to get excited about this month. And, once the best planet Jupiter enters your star sign Gemini on the 26th, your birthday season leaps into life bringing promise and opportunity your way. The more you know yourself inside and out, the easier it will be to know what to say yes to. Engage with the world, expand your learning, become a coach or guide. This is the start of a year when you’re wise to expand your horizons.
Cancer

Admittedly, there could be a financial reason why you’re ready to rediscover your drive and ambition and go all out to get what you want. If you’ve been waiting for your inner leader to be re-awakened, it’s here and it’s now. Leap to it and be a driving force in your chosen field.
Friends are likely to play a significant role in your life this month too. Whether you’re celebrating with friends at a wedding, anniversary or reunion, don’t miss out on some social fun. Join in with other people, as it’s through your group events where inspiration and adventure can be found. Combine a holiday with a course or retreat and take your friends along for the ride. Good fortune is waiting for you, so say yes to joining a club, group or society. The New Moon on the 8th is the best date to launch a new initiative and the 18th & 23rd promise good times.
Towards the end of May, there’s a shift in focus as Jupiter moves into Gemini on the 26th. You may sense a turning inward or an interest in a new subject or topic that grabs your attention. You might become a crossword whizz, start studying an esoteric body of knowledge or turn to prayer for solace and inspiration. You may discover that words have the power to heal and understand powerfully how thoughts create your reality.
Leo
Don’t give up on what you’re trying to achieve. Whatever didn’t work out last month, you have a chance to turn things around and get back on track with your long-term plans and goals. If you want to take a risk or leap of faith linked to your career or vocation, the stars are urging you to go for it. The New Moon on the 8th is ideal for launching a business or starting a new initiative. The 13th & 18th promise excitement and adventure. Spin the wheel of fortune and see what appears.
A lot may depend on getting the right kind of support and help. This isn’t a time to go it alone. Instead, together you’re bigger and better. Find the right team or reach out to a role model, someone you know will inspire you and be your cheerleader. The Full Moon on the 23rd could light the way, a gorgeous date to invest in your next steps, your next big idea.
If there’s someone you want to move away from or leave behind, the start of the month is the time to be decisive. Any relationship that smacks of power or control won’t help you moving forward. Jupiter’s move into Gemini on the 26th shines a light on your friends, your group, your tribe. It’s another nod towards expanding your social life and recognising where you can make a difference and get your voice heard.
Virgo
Your ruling planet Mercury is retracing its steps through Aries and your joint finance sector until the 15th. This is your cue to get back on track when it comes to finances. Right any wrongs, sort out a misunderstanding. Plus, action planet Mars joins Mercury in Aries this month, encouraging you to fight for what’s rightfully yours and be ambitious when it comes to earnings and getting paid what you deserve. Don’t hold back.
Your wanderlust continues this month. If you’ve got itchy feet, book a last-minute trip away. If you’re a typical Virgo, you often favour a tight schedule, Yet, you’d do well to be flexible and willing to change things around, so you can say yes to adventure and new experiences. It’s worth doing so, because this is where good fortune and opportunity can be found. The 8th, 18th, 23rd & 31st are stand-out dates to head off somewhere new or try something different. You could get a last-minute cancellation for a course or exam that’s been on your wish list for a while.
One thing’s for sure, May isn’t a month to stay at home and do nothing. Fast forward to Gemini season, 20th onwards, and big planet Jupiter is gearing up to move into Gemini and your career and vocation sector for the first time in twelve years. It’s a brilliant time to play big so rework your CV, get clear about your next steps and upgrade your business networks and areas of expertise.
Libra
Your relationships are a hot zone this month as passion planet Mars charges into Aries and your opposite star sign. You might have someone chasing after you, someone who’s not afraid to make their intentions known. This could prove exciting and you’re swept off your feet. Yet, that doesn’t mean you’re wise to give your power away. The start of the month may be when you need to be cruel to be kind and let someone know you’re not going to return their affections. Recognise the difference between passion and anger.
Money is one area of your life that’s buzzing with activity. It’s potentially a lucrative and abundant month, as long as you’re willing to take a risk. You’ve got luck and good fortune on your side so take a punt or leap of faith and invest in what you believe in. The New Moon on the 8th is ideal to launch a project or venture. Plus, the 18th & 23rd look gorgeous for being gifted or receiving a bonus. The Full Moon on the 23rd could highlight the job or path that’s right for you.
Another positive reason to boost your funds is because of Jupiter’s move into your fellow air sign Gemini on the 26th.

Learn a language, embrace a new culture, consider where you’re heading and what qualifications you might need to get there.
Scorpio

If you’re looking for love, say yes to a party or celebration.
Yet, it’s not just about relationships, as you’re on a mission in May because your ruling planet Mars is strong in Aries and your work and health sector. This is great news if you’re training for a marathon, building your strength or getting a job done. Whatever didn’t work out last month, you’re wise to try again as second chances could pay off. Be bold and courageous if you’re looking for work. Encourage and inspire your team, if you’re in work.
