Your May 2021 Horoscope

Shondaland 3/05/2021 13:00:00 Renée Watt

Multiple planets are moving into stable Taurus this month. Here's what that means for your sign.

Things may feel slow during the first part of the month as a series of planets trudge their way through earthy Taurus. Use this leisurely atmosphere to catch your breath and recover after a whirlwind start to 2021. Take advantage of this energy while it lasts and make sure to appreciate and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

The energy will shift significantly when Mercury, the planet of communication, glides into chatty Gemini on the 3rd. Our minds will begin to move more quickly, though our bodies may still need some time to play catch-up. Your flirty side will want to come out and play on the 8th, when Venus moves into Gemini, connecting our minds with our hearts. Keep tabs on your emotions on May 13, when expansive Jupiter moves into watery Pisces, heightening our sensitive sides while making it more difficult to control our feelings. Things will begin to move full speed ahead on the 20th, when the Sun enters efficient Gemini. A lunar eclipse will mark the close of the month on the 26th, helping us connect with our destinies by making important decisions.

Aries

The first part of the month won't be your favorite, dear ram, as the Sun, Uranus, and Saturn are all met with conflict in the cosmos. The energy here could cause unexpected expenses or stress on your finances, but, don't worry, it's nothing you won't be able to recover from. You might feel low energy on the 8th, but it's only because the universe is asking you to slow down and nurture yourself as the Aries Moon cozies up to healing asteroid Chiron while forming a harsh aspect to Mars. The Taurus New Moon on the 11th will activate the area of your chart that rules finances, making it the perfect time to set intentions around growing your income. Important decisions around love or fated romantic encounters could take place on the 17th, as Venus, the planet of love, forms an alliance with the North Node. Your thirst for knowledge and human interaction will get a reset on the 20th, when the Sun enters curious Gemini. The month will round out during the Sagittarius Full Moon on the 26th as the universe asks you to spread your wings and go after the things you wish for most.

Taurus

May begins with four planets camped out under your sign, encouraging you to check in with your heart, body, and mind - while considering if there's anything you'd like to change within your circumstances. Just remember to be patient with your process as a harsh aspect between the Sun and Saturn on the 3rd could make you feel a bit restricted in your movements. Problems within relationships will come to a head on the 8th, when tensions between Venus and Jupiter manifest in the cosmos - if you've been ignoring your self-care lately, this could be the day it catches up to you as well. The New Moon on the 11th will be especially auspicious for you, so be sure to light a candle and tell the other side what you desire most, as the universe will be eager to bring you blessings. Your focus will shift to financial matters on the 20th, when the Sun moves into Gemini, activating the area of your chart that rules money. You could find yourself investing in new and exciting companies on the 30th, when the Aquarius Moon shares a supportive aspect to the Sun.

Gemini

If you've been quiet or closed off lately, you'll begin to feel more like your social self on the 3rd, when your ruling planet, Mercury, moves into your sign. It's likely that you've been doing some internal work over the last couple of weeks, and a supportive connection between Venus and Pluto on the 5th can help you release and heal trauma from your past. Your romantic prospects could get interesting on the 8th, when the planet of love, Venus, moves into your sign. Your affections will be in high demand over the next several weeks, and it will be difficult for people to resist your charm. You may get some unexpected news on the 10th, which could have a direct impact on your future, so you'll want to keep a clear head, stay positive, and have faith in your path moving forward. The 13th will bring luck to your professional goals as Jupiter moves into Pisces, where it will remain until late July - use this time to make moves in your career. The Sun moves into your sign on the 20th, boosting your confidence and energy levels well into next month. On the 27th, watch out for red flags within your work and romantic relationships, as a series of difficult aspects in the sky could lead to manipulative or gaslighting behaviors.

Cancer

You're a natural healer, little crab, often putting the needs of others before your own, but this month has you focused on yourself for once, as action planet Mars moves through your sign. However, you'll need to make sure you pace yourself, especially on the 11th, when Mars forms a harsh aspect to the healing asteroid Chiron. If you've been burning the candle at both ends, this could be the day you crash. Deep conversations are likely to take place on the 12th, making it a good time to open up, explain why you need to set boundaries, or iron out any issues you've had within your closest relationships recently. On the 20th, the Sun will move into Gemini, illuminating the area of your chart that rules the subconscious. You'll likely have a series of aha moments over the next several weeks, which could be a good or a bad thing, depending on how gentle you are with yourself. Remember to be patient and loving with yourself during this time, especially if you feel the need to make lifestyle changes. Luckily, the Sagittarius Full Moon on the 26th can help restore your faith and optimism while inspiring you to live your best life.

Leo

Your eye will be on the prize during the first part of the month as the Taurus Sun activates the sector of your chart that rules careers. The demands of your professional life will be especially pronounced right now as you make your mark around the office. However, it will be important that you practice plenty of self-care as Mars travels through Cancer, which could take its toll on your energy levels if you're not catering to your body's needs. Taking time to relax could be increasingly difficult beginning on the 3rd as Mercury moves into Gemini, highlighting the area of your chart that rules community and socialization. Spending time with your friends will be good for your psyche, but don't ignore your limits, and rest at home often. Watch out for conflict with authority figures on the 18th, and don't let your pride get the better of you should any issues arise. Luckily, no matter how tense things get on this day, your friends and loved ones will have your back - if you let yourself lean into love. Your voice will travel far on the 26th, when the Sagittarius Full Moon shines a light on the area of your chart that rules self-expression. Be sure to advocate for yourself on this day, but do so with the warm and loving energy Leos are known for, and you'll be sure to come out on top.

shape: The moon is more than a pretty face. Chances are, it's played an important part in your life, even if you didn't realize it. From your parents reading Goodnight Moon to you every night as a child to having your first kiss under a full moon, it infuses special magic into every moment. Astrology-minded folks even look to it to guide decision-making and intention setting. If you've ever wanted to feel more in tune with the universe, a moon journal can provide you with the perfect opportunity to align yourself with the lunar cycle. Narayana Montúfar, senior astrologer at Astrology.com, swears by her moon journal and uses it to set intentions. Plus, it can give you even more insight into how your zodiac sign impacts your life."Moon journals can be extremely useful for people who are interested in astrology and want to begin working with their birth charts," she explains."Moon journals also track the zodiac sign in which each lunar month happens, which can be extremely telling of how astrology affects each one of us."Montúfar says that her moon journal is her compass:"I am always keeping tabs on what the moon will be doing during the week ahead." It's also part of her morning routine-she checks the moon cycle first thing to figure out the energy of the day. Montúfar even consults her moon journal before sending an important email or committing to a new goal. That process may not work for everyone, but it's helped her for years.If you think you might want to try aligning yourself with the lunar cycles to guide your intention setting, these 10 best moon journals are-pardon the pun-out of this world:

Virgo

If you've been noticing an abundance of synchronicities or coincidences lately, you're not crazy: The universe is trying to speak to you. A spiritual awakening of sorts will be in line with the cosmic climate for you as a series of planets activates the area of your chart that rules philosophy and higher thinking this month. Just remember to stay grounded and take each message you receive with a grain of salt, especially on the 13th, when a series of harsh aspects could leave you feeling overwhelmed by an influx of confusing signs and information. Luckily, your path will feel much clearer on the 10th, especially within career matters, when Mercury connects with the North Node of fate. The energy here is going to ask you to evolve, so you may want to look at how you can improve upon your professional skills through training or continued education. Be sure to give yourself a pep talk on the 18th, and don't be afraid to set boundaries with people who don't support your dreams. The Sagittarius Full Moon on the 26th will shine a light on your home life, so be sure to do something cozy and celebrate the people you love!

Libra

Libras can sometimes be a bit indecisive, weighing every option thoroughly before coming to a conclusion, and this month could highlight just that. Mercury, the planet of communication and thought process, enters restless Gemini on the 3rd, highlighting the area of your chart that rules spirituality and philosophy. The energy here will be cerebral and busy, which could have you questioning your path, what's fair, and perhaps even the meaning of life itself. Venus, the planet of love, will join Mercury on the 8th, which could leave you uncertain about what it is your heart really wants. Try not to become overwhelmed by all the energy that surrounds you, and remember that these moments of uncertainty are what help us to grow and evolve. You'll begin to feel more confident with your path moving forward on the 20th, when the Sun moves into Gemini, allowing your ego to have a say in what's going on in your life at the moment. You may have to move away from your people-pleasing nature in order to advocate for yourself, so don't shy away from being more assertive. May 22 can bring forth emotional and philosophical breakthroughs, giving you the clarity to map out a plan for the future while allowing you to find comfort and peace in your journey as you ride out the rest of the month.

Scorpio

You should be feeling loved this month as four planets make their way through Taurus, activating the sector of your chart that rules relationships and matters of the heart. Just make sure you and your partner are respecting each other's freedoms and individual selves, as a difficult aspect between the Sun and Saturn on the 3rd could bring out controlling or possessive behaviors in us all. May 6 will bring extra healing to your heart as a connection between Venus and Pluto will inspire you to let go of past hurts. If you have unresolved issues with a loved one, this would be a great time to get some closure. Be sure to treat yourself on May 11, when the Taurus New Moon asks you to indulge in the finer things life has to offer. You'll feel a shift on the 20th, when the Sun enters smarty-pants Gemini - and a connection between the Virgo Moon and Pluto on the following day will inspire you to get organized, especially when it comes to career ambitions. The Sagittarius Full Moon on the 26th will activate the area of your chart that rules finances, capping off the month on a high note as the universe is sure to send some opportunities to prosper in the coming weeks.

Sagittarius

Keeping an eye on your physical state will be important this month, dear archer, as the Taurus Sun shines a light on the sector of your chart that rules health and daily routines. Staying active, stretching, and meditating should be a priority as the energy here can cause our bodies to hold physical symptoms of stress. Your relationships will intensify significantly beginning on the 9th, when Venus moves into Gemini, activating the sector of your chart that rules deep connections. Just make sure you're keeping healthy boundaries, as the energy here can sometimes make people a little obsessive. Prepare to get emotional on the 14th, when your ruling planet, Jupiter, moves into Pisces, greatly increasing your empathic abilities. Your intuition will receive a big upgrade in the coming weeks, which could make you feel hypersensitive, overly emotional, and, to be honest, a little messy. Luckily, the universe is giving you the okay to spend as much time at home right now as you'd like, so if you want to be a hermit, be a hermit. The Full Moon on the 26th will take place under your sign, energizing you and reconnecting you with your optimism as the month comes to a close.

Capricorn

Getting your point across and asserting yourself should come easily this month, dear Capricorn, as several planets move through the area of your chart that rules self-expression. You won't be in the mood to beat around the bush, but you'll want to make sure you're not being overly transactional or direct with people, especially on the 3rd. Communicative Mercury makes a helpful aspect to your ruling planet, Saturn, on the 12th - so, you'll want to mark your calendar on the day and schedule any important conversations that need to take place accordingly. Your energy levels will get a boost on the 20th, when the Sun moves into Gemini, activating the area of your chart that rules health. However, you'll want to make sure you don't go overboard helping others. Yes, you will have the stamina to do it all, but you really should be looking for ways to help yourself right now, and rest will still be important. Try to schedule some alone time on the 29th, when the Moon is in your sign, as Lady Luna will form a helpful aspect to transformative Pluto, making this the perfect time for self-reflection and emotional release.

Aquarius

No one could ever accuse you of being boring, dear Aquarius, but this month might have others asking where you went. Your focus will be at home right now, which means things could get a little quiet as far as your social life is concerned. You'll likely feel like you need a time-out from the world, choosing to hunker down within your own personal sanctuary. A little redecorating would work well with this cosmic climate, especially during the Taurus New Moon on the 11th. Updating your space on this day can help you feel refreshed and ready to move forward on your path ahead. Unexpected turmoil could manifest on the 18th, and your ego might take a hit, as the Leo Moon forms a tense T-square with Saturn and Uranus. If someone sets a boundary with you, try not to take it personally, and remember to connect with your self-worth. You'll begin to come out of your shell again on the 20th, when the Sun moves into expressive Gemini, and it will be good for you to reconnect with friends. As the month comes to a close, be sure to make promises to yourself on what's to come, when the innovative Aquarius Moon aligns with hard-working Saturn on the 30th.

Pisces

Your mind will be busy this month, dear Pisces, making it important that you stay productive and mentally stimulated. Your creative side will get a boost as well, so you should consider enrolling in some online workshops that will nurture your artistic self. You'll feel called to express yourself through actions more so than words, but try not to be overly giving with people who might take advantage. A harsh connection between Venus and Jupiter will caution you to watch your spending on the 8th, especially if it involves giving gifts to other people. Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, will enter your sign on the 14th, marking an extremely auspicious period for you that will last until the end of July. Use this period to communicate your dreams to the universe, and keep your eyes open, as opportunity could arise in the most random of places. Even though Jupiter energy is typically a lucky one, make sure you're staying on top of your responsibilities in the coming months, as it likes to make everything bigger - including our problems. The Sagittarius Full Moon on the 26th can help direct some of this luck toward your career path, so make sure to keep a high profile around the office.
