Love is in the air, Scorpio! At the start of the month, you’re focused on your nearest and dearest. Taurus season invites you to deepen your bonds, take the next step in your romantic relationship, and invest in the people in your life who always support you. Professionally, this can be a busy time for contract work and collaboration.

You’re traveling through some emotionally murky waters on May 2 when Pluto Retrograde begins in Aquarius. This can be both a harrowing and transformative time: You're becoming more aware of the ways in which unhealthy cycles and the skeletons in your family’s closet influence your own behavior patterns. You might choose to address some deeper feelings with people close to you around this time. The next day, you’re making progress on mundane things as Mars in Aries connects with Pluto in Aquarius. This is a great day to get things done around the house.

The New Moon in Taurus on May 7 ushers in a fresh start for your closest one-on-one relationships, new and old. You might have some surprising conversations with a romantic or business partner. Opportunities you didn’t expect can also land in your inbox. On May 13, the Sun and Uranus meet up in Taurus. The word of the day is: Unpredictable. Interactions can feel odd, jarring, or even inspiring. A heated argument could lead to a breakup, or a romantic conversation could lead to a spontaneous elopement.

Mercury, the planet of information, joins the Taurus party on May 15, encouraging more communication with important people in your life. This is an aligned time to address any topics you’ve been avoiding. Singles could start to invest more time in dating, and couples are thinking more about their partner’s needs and desires. Over the next few weeks, there’s more potential for collaborative projects and contract work, too. Luck takes over the skies on May 18 when the Sun and Jupiter link up in Taurus. Couples might have something worth celebrating, like an engagement or moving in together! Singles could form a bond with someone who expands their perspective. This is a lucky day for all types of relationships, and an especially pivotal day for putting your work out there. Others are ready to support you! On the same day, Venus in Taurus and Uranus in Taurus meet at the same point, bringing abrupt shake-ups to your closest ties. If someone is clinging on too hard today, it might push you over the edge and have you ready to walk away!

The Sun enters Gemini on May 20 and you might start to feel like you’re moving through some emotional quicksand. The next few weeks encourage you to turn inward, reflect, and sort through anything you’ve left unaddressed in your psyche. This is a powerful time for processing fears, grief, shame, or guilt—and extending yourself and others compassion and forgiveness. Ultimately, you can break free from what no longer serves you and create space for more joy in your life. Financially, this is an important time to address any debt, have discussions with partners regarding shared resources, or take on new projects or contracts.

May 23 is a busy day in the sky and it begins with a Full Moon in Sagittarius. A financial situation is coming to a head—you might make an investment, like buying that expensive couch you’ve been eyeing for months. Or you might be asking for a promotion or considering leaving your company. On the same day, Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, join together. This is your green light to tell someone you love them, apply for that job, or book that dream vacation. Next, Jupiter in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces sync up in a gentle connection for the first time since 2020. This merges your dreams and aspirations with tangible progress and growth and stirs up an incredibly creative and romantic vibe. Finally, the day closes out with Venus, the planet of relationships and harmony, moving into Gemini. The next few weeks encourage you to share your vulnerable side with people you trust. This transit can also bring some financial relief or new work prospects.

On May 25, Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, enters Gemini for the first time since June 2012-2013. Over the next year, you might be dealing with taxes, inheritances, grief, or loss. There’s also the potential for your savings to increase, or for you to land some transformative work possibilities. Your intuition will also be heightened over the next year, helping guide you as your path unfolds. On the same day, Venus in Gemini mingles with Pluto in Aquarius. It’s possible that a family member or loved one offers you support or a life-changing gift. This is also a poignant day for emotional healing in some of your closest connections. Raw and honest conversations lead to a strengthening of ties.

The month ends on May 30 with Mercury and Uranus meeting up at the same point in the sign of Taurus. This brings up similar topics and storylines from May 13 and 18, when the Sun and Venus met with Uranus. You’re ready to devise a plan or make a decision that might shock others. Your willingness to take risks puts your ingenuity on display and attracts others.
