This can also be a romantic time–fun for dating, flirting, or experimenting with your sexuality and desires. You might also notice you’re more magnetic–people are drawn to you when you show up authentically and self-express. So take a chance on yourself and have some fun!
A goal you’ve worked hard toward is finally realized thanks to the Full Moon in Scorpio on May 1!

Singles might also have more luck dating and couples are focused on having fun together.
Feelings of scarcity can surface once Pluto goes retrograde in Aquarius on May 6. Money issues can feel overwhelming or perhaps there are power dynamics involved at work that feel unhealthy that need to be disrupted.

Whatever it may be, there is a new source of joy in your life and it feels good to reconnect to the present moment.
Mercury moves into Gemini on May 17, putting you in a busier mood. You’re taking care of everything that’s been lingering on your to-do list. The next few weeks can be quite productive, but they can also exhaust you fast. Keep your priorities in check and make sure you carve out some private time for yourself along the way. You’re feeling flirty once Mars moves into Taurus on May 18, and others are noticing you, too! This can be a steamy time for dating and satiating your sexual desires! If there is a personal project or hobby you want to focus on, this gives you the courage and dedication to follow through.
On the same day, Venus moves into Cancer, bringing attention to your key relationships. The next few weeks can bring more support and luck in your relationships. You’re craving more intimate encounters with the people you care about and want to dive deep! This is also a great time for collaboration, negotiating new contracts, and planning for the future. The Sun enters Gemini on May 20, which might require you to take on more responsibilities at work. If you’re feeling exhausted, you’re not alone! This is a season of focusing on all of the little tasks that lead to big results down the road. Setting boundaries and standing up for yourself will also help you along the way.
Don’t expect things to go according to plan on May 22 when the Sun and Uranus, both in Gemini, team up in the sky. This is a day of last-minute changes, mixing up meeting times, and popping a tire on the way to work. Go with the flow and know that last-minute shakes up are the name of the game today. The month wraps up with a Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 31 that helps you break a habit or cycle. This pattern may be difficult to confront, dredging up feelings of grief or the unknown. Cultivating a spiritual practice that grounds you can help and keep you centered. You’re doing the emotional heavy-lifting now, but it will be worth it on the other side.
