After an incredibly hectic and volatile April, May offers us a much smoother stretch of time when we can stop and smell the roses and enjoy the good side of life. If the last couple of months have brought nothing but constant upheaval and changes your way, know that you can use May to increase your sense of stability and well-being, so let’s dive right in!

May 1st arrives with a rather potent Scorpio Full Moon illuminating the skies. As a pair, Taurus and Scorpio are like a flower, with Taurus representing everything above ground, while Scorpio represents the roots and all the unseen things that happen beneath the soil’s surface. At this time, you may feel as though you are seeing the underbelly of reality, and shining a light on aspects of your life which do not get very much attention. Scorpio energy is innately powerful and can transcend even the darkest, most difficult aspects of life, so it may be that an old wound can become your superpower, and give you the strength to emerge victorious from whatever life sends your way.

Mercury enters Taurus on the 2nd, joining the Sun in the sign of the Bull, and encouraging us to slow down and take our time when it comes to processing information and formulating new ideas. Taurus does not like being rushed, and is very much the tortoise, rather than the hare; use this cycle as a time to think things through extremely carefully, and make sure that any ideas or ambitions you have are applicable in reality, and not only in your imagination.

Pluto is turning retrograde in Aquarius on the 6th, and will remain so until mid-October. 

When moving direct, Pluto is like a powerful storm blasting through your chart, ripping up anything that isn’t properly rooted down, but that storm slows down when Pluto is retrograde, and we can figure out what to do with all the sudden changes and potential destruction that Pluto has wrought. 

Still, Pluto does not destroy things or create complications just for fun, but rather because something that is not working cannot continue as it has been, and we need to make a change in order to improve our lives. This retrograde will give us the chance to do that on a personal level, while on a global level we will likely see more activism with regards to empowering the people, as Pluto is in humanitarian Aquarius, which is all about social progress. 

The 16th brings the Taurus New Moon, marking the perfect moment to plant seeds for wonderful new things to grow in our lives. This New Moon will be very pleasantly aspected, and will welcome in lots of exciting new energy and opportunities to pursue our passions. Venus and Mars will be forming a sextile to one another that can add extra doses of romance and other scintillating pleasures, so this is an especially good time to focus on the things that can increase our joy and satisfaction. 

The energy picks up the pace the very next day as Mercury flies into its home sign of Gemini for the next couple of weeks, encouraging us to embrace new ideas and establish new connections. Mercury will conjoin rebel Uranus practically as soon as it sets foot in the sign of the Twins, so this will feel even more impactful than the usual switching of signs, almost as though someone is hitting a gong for extra effect as Mercury makes its entrance. This is an especially good time to think outside the box, so don’t be scared to take an unusual approach to any fresh starts you make in light of the Taurus New Moon.

However, the 18th brings a more emotional and sensual energy with it, as Mars enters Taurus and Venus enters Cancer within hours of one another. Mars in Taurus is a great opportunity to slow down and ensure our goals are realistic and that we are making honest progress towards them, but not at the expense of enjoying life’s bounty or taking our time to appreciate the passing scenery. Mars will remain here for about six weeks, and is a very good reminder that there is always time for work and for play.

Meanwhile, Venus in Cancer encourages us to find more emotionally fulfilling connections, and to seek our security and stability in romance, as well as in financial situations. Cancer energy is all about the home and family, so this would be a great moment to make use of Venus’s aesthetic skills and let your inner interior decorator out to play. Likewise, this would be a wonderful time to host more get-togethers under your own roof, as Venus will ensure that everyone enjoys themselves.

However, just because Venus is getting comfy on the couch doesn’t mean that’s all you’ll want to do; the Sun is entering Gemini on the 20th for its annual tour, joining Mercury and putting even more emphasis on the importance of community and communication. If you’ve felt isolated from others, then this cycle can help you find ways to start circulating again, and since Gemini is the sign of the Twins, it is the perfect time to form powerful partnerships in the name of whatever you like.

Last, but certainly not least, the skies host a lovely Sagittarius Full Moon on the 31st, ending the month on a high note. This is a reminder from the cosmos to broaden our horizons and explore the wider world as much as possible, because there are exciting opportunities for enlightenment and deeper fulfillment waiting for us in places we’ve never even imagined. Do something to open your mind to the endless possibilities available to you, and you could be setting out for distant shores before you know it. Who knows where you could find yourself?

Happy travels!

Important Transits in May 2026

• May 1st — Venus sextile Saturn

Our pleasures and our responsibilities sync up in an unusually helpful way as Venus and Saturn form a supportive sextile with one another. This is wonderful for couples who want to take their connection to the next level or build their partnership on firmer foundations, while promising and reliable financial opportunities will also be easier to uncover.

• May 2nd — Mercury enters Taurus

There is no need to rush as buzzy Mercury enters sturdy Taurus for the next two weeks, reminding us that everything will happen in its own sweet time, and that pushing before you are ready will not yield positive results. Use this cycle to plan and focus on increasing the sense of abundance in your life; this energy is especially good for getting down to basics and making the most of them.

• May 4th — Mars square Jupiter

Our energy knows no limit as passionate Mars and enthusiastic Jupiter lock into a rare square, pushing us all forward as fast as we can possibly go. It is wonderful to be enthusiastic and ambitious, but it can be easy to overdo it under this alignment, so we would all do well to act with deliberation and thoroughly assess our plans before we attempt to enact them.

• May 5th — Mercury square Pluto

It is easy to pinpoint issues or complications as Mercury squares Pluto, making our minds as sharp as a knife. This can be helpful for getting to the heart of any outstanding problems, but Pluto can cause us to be rather ruthless at the same time, so it is important that we don’t overshoot the mark and rub someone the wrong way in the process.

• May 6th — Pluto Retrograde

The Universe is encouraging you to look inward as Pluto turns retrograde for the next five months. Pluto is all about the intensities of life, but now we’ll be less focused on the problems outside ourselves, as opposed to dealing with the ones we create. We are never eager to admit where we’ve been wrong, and facing our demons is never easy, but this is precisely what we must do if we want to make progress.

• May 10th — Sun sextile Jupiter

There is an increasing sense of abundance to the day, one that wants us all to embrace life and the endless possibilities available to us as the Sun and Jupiter sextile one another. This is like a gentle hug from the cosmos, one that reminds us how much support we have, and that the people around us really do want good things for us. This is also an especially good time to take a chance on yourself or on something you believe in.

• May 13th — Mercury sextile Jupiter

The sky is the limit when it comes to developing new ideas and connections. Mercury wants us to use our brains to the best of our abilities, while Jupiter wants to remove any limitations or boundaries, so just about anything can seem like a good idea, though it can’t hurt to get a second opinion before you become certain you’ve found the key to success. A little circumspection will pay off in the long run.

• May 14th — Sun conjunct Mercury

We may feel firmly ensconced in our own ideas and opinions as the Sun and Mercury conjoin in stability-loving Taurus, a sign known for stubbornness at even the best of times. Mercury can help us be a bit more mentally flexible, so it is important to see both sides of an issue, rather than doubling down on an opinion just because it is the one we’ve always had. Be willing to look outside what you know.

• May 17th — Mercury enters Gemini

Our thought processes are speeding up as Mercury wings its way into its home sign of Gemini for the next two weeks, reminding us to touch base with anyone and everyone we come into contact with. This is great for sussing out new opportunities and evaluating plans to make sure they will pan out in our favor, so don’t be scared to workshop something with someone else by your side, because two minds are better than one during this cycle.

• May 17th — Mercury conjunct Uranus

Think outside of the box because the Universe will be rewarding originality. Mercury is aligning with Uranus, lending a special touch of mad genius to everyone’s thought patterns. Lean into the eccentric vibe, but don’t get carried away; if you come across an idea worth nurturing, then take your time and test it under calmer skies.

• May 18th — Mars enters Taurus

Slow and steady wins the race when action planet Mars enters deliberate Taurus. This is a very useful combination that will last about six weeks, allowing us to make methodical and careful progress; Mars can sometimes move so fast that it loses sight of the details, but it likes to take its time in the sign of the Bull, and make it that much easier to ensure consistent quality across the board.

• May 18th — Venus enters Cancer

There’s rarely been a better time to lead with your emotions and wear your heart on your sleeve as loving Venus dances her way into deep-feeling Cancer for the next three and a half weeks. Venus in Cancer wants to surround herself with comforting and secure circumstances, so even if you normally chase after more edgy people, the next-door type will prove much more appealing during this cycle, especially if you’re hoping to introduce them to your family.

• May 19th — Mercury sextile Neptune

We can follow our intuition and tap into new levels of inspiration as Mercury and Neptune come together in a harmonious alignment. Sometimes Neptune can obscure the truth or create confusion, but this positive angle will help you find the fantasy and harmony on offer, and could even help you produce some wonderful and imaginative new ideas. Open your mind up!

• May 19th — Venus sextile Mars

Our passions and our desires can proceed hand-in-hand as Venus and Mars, the cosmic lovers, form a rare sextile that is going to make it impossible to keep our affections to ourselves. This can be wonderful for any romantic endeavors, but Venus can also help us attract more lucrative resources into our lives, though Mars may make us wish to spend them as soon as they arrive.

• May 19th — Mercury trine Pluto

We can cut to the chase as Mercury trines Pluto, but although Pluto can bring out our sharpest, most intense sides, the angle is a harmonious one, and will allow us to better use Pluto’s sharpness to our advantage, without anyone getting cut in the process. This is especially helpful if there have been any mysteries or confusion blocking our progress; this trine will make it easy to clear away obstacles.

• May 20th — Sun enters Gemini

The world is moving at a faster pace after the slow and steady gait of Taurus season. The Sun is bounding into mercurial Gemini, plugging us back into the Universal current. It’s time to look for ways to expand your thinking and your connections, so be willing to get out and about and say bonjour to people; there’s a whole world waiting for you to go and explore.

• May 22nd — Venus square Neptune

Boundaries can blur when Venus squares Neptune, throwing reality and discipline right out the window. These two are eager to enjoy all the pleasantries of life, but when they form a complicated angle like this, it becomes only too easy to overdo it or indulge ourselves in unhelpful ways. Try to maintain a sense of responsibility or you might regret your actions down the line.

• May 22nd — Sun conjunct Uranus

Everything is new and different as the Sun and Uranus make their annual conjunction, inspiring game-changing shifts and surprises. Lean into the unexpected and remain flexible in the face of sudden upheaval, because the best way to get through this transit is to ride the roller coaster as it presents itself; don’t expect to maintain a clear sense of control when Uranus is in charge!

• May 22nd — Mercury sextile Saturn

It’s a good day to do some serious thinking and to share your ideas with others. Mercury is forming a productive angle to Saturn, giving your thoughts a weighted and necessary understanding of the world around you. You can create a solid game plan for yourself, so go ahead and rewrite the rule book if you feel the need.

• May 24th — Sun sextile Neptune

Lean into the magical side of life today. The mighty Sun is sextiling fantastical Neptune, so if there has ever been a day to don a pair of rose-colored glasses, this would be it. Usually, you need to be careful about getting carried away when these planets come together, but because their alignment is so helpful, we should get through this just fine.

• May 26th — Mars square Pluto

Tempers can flare and drama can arise at the smallest provocation when Mars and Pluto square one another, making it important to avoid negativity and hostility where we can. Unfortunately, with both these planets in Fixed signs, people will be generally unwilling to back down from their beliefs, so if you find yourself charging into battle, make sure it is worth your time and energy.

• May 26th — Sun trine Pluto

How do you deal with power? Issues of control and deep-seated feelings could rear their head today as the Sun forms a forceful yet ultimately positive alignment with Pluto, the ruler of the underworld. Pluto acts like a storm that comes through and rips up anything that isn’t correctly rooted down, so if life feels a little forceful, that would be why. The Universe wants you to ride out this storm because blue skies are waiting on the other side.

• May 28th — Venus square Saturn

Our desires may get put on ice as Venus and Saturn form a combative square with one another, making it that much more difficult to enjoy life’s pleasantries and bounty. It can seem that we have to work twice as hard to enjoy even half the reward we might normally earn, so avoid expecting too much. Romance is also likely to fall flat during this transit.

The Moon in May 2026

• May 1st — Scorpio Full Moon

It’s time to dig deep when the Scorpio Full Moon illuminates the skies, reminding us to look beneath the surface and to shine a light on things which may have been hidden from few. This lunation will be amplified by a lovely sextile between Venus and Saturn, so our values and desires will be especially potent at this time, and we can pursue both work and pleasure if we take a balanced approach.

• May 9th — Quarter Moon in Aquarius

The Quarter Moon in Aquarius is a reminder to use our critical thinking skills in order to transcend our basic needs and wants that normally get all the attention during Taurus season. This Quarter Moon underlines the importance of working towards something greater in the long-term that can benefit everyone, rather than just satisfying ourselves.

• May 16th — Taurus New Moon

We can all bring greater beauty and resources into our lives at the Taurus New Moon, marking a moment when the Universe’s sense of abundance is stronger than usual. This usually steady lunation arrives with a bit of an inspired shock, however, as Mercury and Uranus will be tightly conjunct in Gemini, inspiring us to think outside the box and do things differently.

• May 23rd — Quarter Moon in Virgo

Gemini season inspires us to flit about and circulate and sample as many interesting opportunities and ideas as possible, but the Quarter Moon in Virgo is a moment to get our feet on the ground and make sure we’re actually making real progress and doing things that matter, rather than just wasting our time with flights of fancy. This is a good time to get your priorities straight.

• May 31st — Sagittarius Full Moon

The Sagittarius Full Moon invites us to break out of any ruts and to sail off over the horizon, hoping to explore more of the world around us. Gemini energy is very concerned with things happening in your local area, but Sagittarius energy is all about expanding your world view as much as possible, so don’t limit yourself at this time. Adventure awaits for those who seek it!

Love & Relationships:

Your attention is all over the place this month, Aries. Loving Venus is buzzing along through chatty Gemini your casual 3rd House of Local Community and Communications as May opens, so you may be more interested in socializing and flirting with any cuties you come across, especially with passionate Mars also in your own sign, turning your libido up several notches. However, this casual and light-hearted vibration changes in the second half of the month with Venus entering comfort-loving Cancer, and Mars moving into slow-and-steady Taurus, both on the 18th. This energy is very much about getting domestic with the object of your affection, and wearing your emotions on your sleeve, so don’t be surprised if you leave May on a very different romantic note than when you started it.

Career & Money:

This is a wonderful month for planting the seeds of future success, Aries. We are deep in Taurus season as the month opens with the Sun touring your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Resources until the 20th, while Mercury will visit the sign of the Bull from the 2nd to the 17th, and Mars will arrive here on the 18th for six weeks, making this an optimal time for you to birth new ideas and projects that can bring you greater financial freedom. Pay special attention to the Taurus New Moon on the 16th; Mercury will be closely conjoined eccentric Uranus at this time, while Venus will be sextiling Mars, so the more willing you are to think outside the box at this time, the more lucrative the results can be. 

Lucky Crystal:

You’re moving at full throttle while your ruler Mars pushes through your sign the first half of this month, and while that can bring excitement and action, it can also cause stress and leave you feeling a bit overwhelmed. 

In that case, snowflake obsidian will be especially useful, is known for helping remove negativity and channeling positive vibrations. It balances the mind, heart, and body in a way few other crystals do, and since your sign is one of the most energetic and passionate, a little balancing wouldn’t hurt at all.

You are positively shining this month, Taurus, and everyone will be noticing your special allure. The Sun is visiting your sign and your 1st House as May opens, and will continue to invigorate you until the 20th, giving you the oomph to pursue the things you desire. With buzzy Mercury also in your sign from the 2nd to the 17th, and sexy Mars entering your sign on the 18th, you are going to be very magnetic, so couples and singles alike can look forward to sparkling conversation and passionate encounters. You are hosting an extra exciting New Moon in your sign on the 16th, which happens to be a supercharged Supermoon, and also includes a romantic sextile between Mars and Venus, so you can put your desires front and center.

Career & Money:

Pleasure-loving Venus is dancing through Gemini and your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Wealth from the start of May until the 18th, which is going to turn you into a wonderful money magnet. Venus wants to bring as many good things into your life as possible, and since she happens to rule your sign, and your sign is the natural occupant of the 2nd House, there is a really lovely harmony happening here, one that you can definitely use to your advantage. This energy will continue to amplify in the second half of the month when Mercury enters Gemini on the 17th and the Sun follows suit on the 20th, but you’ll be riding especially high thanks to the magnetic Taurus New Moon on the 16th. You can work magic this month, Taurus, so don’t rest on your laurels!

Lucky Crystal:

You are hosting so many different celestial bodies this month, Taurus, not to mention dealing with the fact that you are no longer hosting rebel Uranus after a seven-year tour, so your energy may feel a little all over the place in May.

With that in mind, Tiger’s Eye is the best stone for your sign right now, as it can help to balance your energies, especially when you are dealing with many different distractions coming from all sides. Tiger’s Eye also promotes mental clarity, which will be especially helpful during this diverting month.

Tarot Card: 9 of Cups

Lucky Crystal: Rose Quartz

Lucky Numbers: 2, 4, 6, 12, 15, 17, 23, 24, 27

Affirmation: Sometimes small steps can take you further than big ones. 

Love & Relationships:

Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, begins the month in your own sign, making you undeniably alluring, and giving you a romantic edge over the competition until it enters Cancer on the 18th. Couples can enjoy some wonderful moments with a significant other, especially at the end of the month with a Sagittarius Full Moon on the 31st in your 7th House of Relationships, though this can also help singles get a budding connection onto firmer footing. Meanwhile, Mercury will enter your sign on the 17th, and the Sun will follow suit on the 20th, giving you even more energy to push forward with your desires, and Mercury will make you especially interesting to other people, so don’t be shy about putting yourself out there.

Career & Money:

This month opens on quite a productive note with the Scorpio Full Moon on the 1st, which will illuminate your 6th House of Work and Wellness, helping you present at your absolute best, and do everything you need to check off any important projects remaining on your to-do list. Meanwhile, the rest of the month will be largely about taking it easy and enjoying yourself without pushing yourself in any particular direction, though you will have good luck attracting more money-making opportunities when Venus enters your 2nd House of Earned Income on the 18th. However, June promises much more positive potential for professional or financial advancement, meaning you can generally take it easy in May.

Lucky Crystal:

You will be positively alluring the first half of the month while Venus tours your sign, but your passions may dim when sexy Mars enters your hidden 12th House in the second half, Gemini.

With that in mind, Rose Quartz will be the best stone for you in May, as it can help keep your Heart Chakra open and burning brightly in the face of fluctuating energy. This will be especially helpful if you are trying to focus on a particular romantic connection, as it will bring the two of you together more seamlessly.

Cancer

Positive Influences: Rejuvenation, Allure, Relaxation

Negative Influences: Bad Timing, Social Obligations, Distractions

Tarot Card: King of Cups

Lucky Crystal: Fluorite

Lucky Numbers: 1, 3, 6, 14, 17, 18, 22, 26, 28

Affirmation: An open mind is much easier to satisfy than a closed one.

Love & Relationships:

You may feel a little out of touch with romance as the month begins, Cancer. Loving Venus is in Gemini and your hidden 12th House of the Subconscious until the 18th, and it can be difficult to make the most of the Goddess of Love’s magnetic powers when she is in this low-energy sector. However, you will feel positively revitalized when Venus does enter your sign on the 18th, making you positively irresistible, and giving a boost to couples and singles alike. Meanwhile, sexy Mars enters Taurus and your 11th House of Networking on the 18th, which will help bring more potential partners into your network, though don’t be surprised if some of them appear right out of the blue, especially with Mercury entering Gemini on the 17th, followed by the Sun on the 20th.

Career & Money:

You are racing towards the finish line as Mars bounds along through Aries and your ambitious 10th House as Mary begins, giving you the ability to solve any professional problems and work your way up the career ladder as fast as you can. Use this potent energy while you’ve got it available to you, because it will shift to something much more easy-going when Mars leaves this sector on the 18th and enters your social 11th House for the next six weeks. Your energy will be especially low-key with Mercury and the Sun in Gemini and your subconscious sector from the 17th and 20th, respectively, though pleasure-planet Venus will enter your own sign on the 18th for her annual visit, helping to attract good things into your life, including greater financial resources.

Lucky Crystal:

You’re in a bit of an in-between period while you wait for the Sun to enter your sign next month. In the meantime, your subconscious realm will be pinging with activity, so the perfect stone for you to keep close is beautiful fluorite. 

This stone is terrific for calming your mind and feeling at peace with your surroundings, which will be very important as you might not always be able to control your energy flow during May.

Leo

Positive Influences: Inspiration, Success, Networking

Negative Influences: Illusions, Shallow Connections, Lack of Consideration

Tarot Card: Justice

Lucky Crystal: Quartz

Lucky Numbers: 3, 7, 8, 12, 13, 16, 21, 22, 28

Affirmation: A limited mind will only result in limited options.

Love & Relationships:

Alluring Venus begins May in Gemini and your outgoing 11th House of Social Networks, Leo, which is quite a platonic sector, so you may be more in the mood to flirt and mingle, rather than to settle down with anyone in particular. That could change after the 18th, when Venus enters Cancer and your dreamy 12th House, but this sector generally encourages releasing old romantic baggage you have carried for too long, meaning you’ll have better luck deciding what you don’t want, rather than what you do desire. June will offer much better clarity and action in the love department, and not just because May ends with a fabulous Sagittarius New Moon in your 5th House of Romance, setting you up for a very passionate next couple of weeks.

Career & Money:

May could turn out to be the most exciting and action-packed month of 2026 for you, Leo, at least as far as work is concerned. The Sun is touring Taurus and your 10th House of Career as the month begins, and will remain here until the 20th, giving you an extra push up the professional ladder. Additionally, messenger Mercury will visit Taurus from the 2nd to the 17th, while Mars will enter Taurus for six weeks on the 18th, putting even more gas in your tank. This fabulous energy is capped off by a wonderful Taurus New Moon on the 16th that will open a fresh window of opportunity that will culminate in six months at the Taurus Full Moon, by which time you could be at the top of your field. Get going!

Lucky Crystal:

May is a month full of exciting potential, Leo, and so the best stone for you to have on hand would be a piece of trusty quartz. 

This reliable stone has a long list of purposes, from clearing out energy to helping you calcify your intentions, so whatever you might need aid with, well, quartz is sure to help you along in your endeavors this month, so grab hold of a piece of this beautiful stone and do not let go.

Tarot Card:

Virgo

Positive Influences: New Opportunities, Adventure, Rewards

Negative Influences: Expectations, Pressure, Secrets

Tarot Card: Judgment

Lucky Crystal: Aquamarine

Lucky Numbers: 1, 2, 7, 10, 15, 19, 20, 23, 27

Affirmation: Reaching the finish line is a matter of timing, not speed.

Love & Relationships:

Your desires may burn hot and cold in May, so don’t be surprised if your emotions are all over the place. Sexy Mars is in Aries and your deeply private but very erotic 8th House until the 18th, during which time you may want to disappear behind closed doors with someone who pushes all the right buttons, but your desires could turn to something much more liberal and open-minded when Mars then enters Taurus and your freedom-seeking 9th House for the next six weeks. Meanwhile, romantic Venus splits the month between your career-oriented 10th House and your platonic 11th House, which could make it very difficult to focus on one particular person. Couples probably won’t experience too much trouble, but singles could have a tough time deciding what they want out of any one connection in particular.

Career & Money:

You’re shining brightly at the office this month,Virgo, or wherever it is you go to make a name for yourself. Pleasure-loving Venus is dancing along through Gemini and your 10th House of Career as May opens up, where she will be attracting positive opportunities and rewards into your life until the 18th. Venus can help you earn more but also make you come off better in social situations, so this is great for interviewing for new jobs or trying to increase your take-home at your current gig. Mercury will enter Gemini on the 17th for a couple of weeks, giving you an extra brilliance and sharpness that you can use to your advantage, and the Sun will finally follow suit on the 20th, so you have a whole cosmic brigade working in your favor this month.

Lucky Crystal:

Your career sector is positively glowing this month, Virgo, and you may be called upon to perform at top capacity on some sort of professional or public stage. It will be beneficial for you to have a stone on hand that will amp up your courage and energy and help you race towards your own preferred finish line. 

Aquamarine is the perfect stone to give you that much-needed boost, as it has been harnessed for ages to concentrate energy and willpower, so use it to your own advantage!

Tarot Card: 3 of Wands

Lucky Crystal: Chrysoprase

Lucky Numbers: 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 16, 22, 23, 29

Affirmation: Getting is easier when I am already giving.

Love & Relationships:

You may find your heart leading you all over the place this month, Libra, or is it an entirely different body part altogether? Your ruler Venus is in Gemini and your freedom-seeking 9th House until the 18th, so you won’t be at all interested in settling down or sticking to dull connections when you could be out sampling all the different flavors of romance the world has to offer. Meanwhile, sexy Mars splits the month between Aries and your relationship sector, heating things up between you and a special someone, and then Taurus and your intimate 8th House, which it will also enter on the 18th, so you may feel much more inclined to disappear behind closed doors with someone in the second half of May. 

Career & Money:

This is a wonderful month for working your way up the career ladder while also increasing your net worth. Venus enters Cancer and your 10th House of Career on the 18th, which will help you come off especially well at work or anywhere else you go to earn your paycheck, and could also land you more rewards or a raise along the way. Meanwhile, the Sun, Mercury, and Mars will all visit Taurus and your 8th House of Shared Resources for a considerable stay, which could help you uncover new ways to take what you already have and transform it into something even more profitable. A lovely Taurus New Moon on the 16th will be especially profitable, so set your sights on the days and weeks to follow.

Lucky Crystal:

The world is opening up to you this month, Libra, and your 9th House becomes busier and busier. That being said, you’ll also be dealing with a lot of serious 8th House themes, so the beautiful stone chrysoprase will be the most influential and helpful to you in May.

It will keep your mood buoyant and optimistic even in the face of complicated matters, so if there is a moment you feel down or overwhelmed, grab hold of a piece of chrysoprase and don’t let go.

Lucky Numbers: 1, 6, 7, 11, 14, 19, 21, 23, 25

Affirmation: My relationships are not meant to define my character.

Love & Relationships:

This could turn out to be one of the most pivotal months you’ve experienced in some time when it comes to romance, Scorpio, and that remains true whether you’re single and looking to mingle, or are already happily coupled. Alluring Venus splits the month between Gemini and your erotic 8th House, and Cancer and your freedom-seeking 9th House, so you may want to experience both intimacy and adventure, but with the Sun, Mercury, and Mars all spending a large portion of May in Taurus and your 7th House of Partnerships, you will want to do this with someone special by your side, and it seems there will be no shortage of people willing to join you. The Taurus New Moon on the 16th will be especially good for advancing your connection or solidifying a fresh relationship.

Career & Money:

Action planet Mars is in Aries and your 6th House of Daily Work and Wellness until the 18th, so you are going to be keeping yourself quite busy at the office until then, or wherever it is you go to earn your paycheck. This sector is all about the little nuts and bolts that make up the much bigger machinery of your day-to-day operations, so you will likely be dealing with a lot on your plate. Meanwhile, Venus is in Gemini and your 8th House of Shared Resources until the 18th, with Mercury entering Gemini on the 16th and the Sun following suit on the 20th, and this energy will give you the chance to capitalize on your efforts and earn a nice sum of money while you’re at it.

Lucky Crystal:

You’re going to be hashing out a lot of important matters this month, Scorpio, so it’ll be good to have a stone on hand that can keep your energy from flagging and instead boost you up when it’s important. 

Carnelian, the blood-red stone, can help you make clear-cut choices when needed, avoid apathy and any wishy-washy feelings, and overcome any hurdles that might present themselves. Use it wisely.

Love & Relationships:

Romantic Venus is spinning along through Gemini and your 7th House of Relationships until the 18th, Sag, which is going to make May the perfect month to either pursue a new connection or to enjoy more wonderful moments with your current partner. Meanwhile, Mercury will be here from the 17th through the rest of the month, and the Sun will follow suit on the 20th for its annual tour, putting even more cosmic emphasis on your love life. You’ve also got sexy Mars burning through Aries and your 5th House of Passion and Pleasure until the 18th, so you’re primed to follow your heart wherever it leads. You also get to close the month out with a fabulous Full Moon in your sign on the 31st, so people will have a hard time ignoring your allure.

Career & Money:

May is largely a month that offers you just as many opportunities for productivity and professional advancement as it does opportunities for pleasure, so this could wind up being one of the best months of the year for you. The Sun is in Taurus and your efficient 6th House of Daily Work and Routine as May opens, and it will be joined here from the 2nd to the 17th by messenger Mercury, and action planet Mars will also tour Taurus for six weeks starting on the 18th. To cap it off, the 16th hosts a special New Moon in Taurus, setting off a fresh wave of energy and opportunity in this sector. The more effort you put in this month, the more rewards you’ll get in return.

Lucky Crystal:

With so much energy bubbling up in your daily work sector throughout the month of May, it would be best for you to carry around a piece of citrine, Sag. This stone can help attract abundance and also help channel your energy in the most valuable and productive ways, which will be especially useful during the first two weeks of the month.

These themes will begin to shift for you as the planets move in the second half of the month, but the first half of May is ripe for productivity and reward.

Capricorn

Positive Influences: Creativity, Relationships, Productivity

Negative Influences: Irresponsibility, Obsession, Greed

Tarot Card: 7 of Pentacles

Lucky Crystal: Aventurine

Lucky Numbers: 1, 3, 7, 10, 12, 16, 21, 25, 29

Affirmation: I have a duty to myself to pursue my dreams.

Love & Relationships:

May is poised to be one of the most romantic and pleasurable months of the entire year for you, Capricorn, so you could hardly ask for better transits to give your love life a boost in the weeks ahead. The Sun is touring Taurus and your passionate 5th House of Romance and Creativity as the month opens, encouraging you to follow your heart wherever it leads. Buzzy Mercury will also tour this fun-loving sector from the 2nd to the 17th, and fiery Mars will enter Taurus on the 18th for six weeks, giving you even more chances to put a premium on your desires. The 16th will be especially promising, as it hosts the Taurus New Moon, adding a fresh dose of energy to any romantic endeavors you might be pursuing. Enjoy!

Career & Money:

Things will flow smoothly at work in May, Capricorn, which should come as rather welcome news, especially considering the more complicated energies that have prevailed over the last few months. Pleasure-loving Venus is in Gemini and your 6th House of Daily Work and Wellness until the 18th, which will make things more prone to working out in your favor, and will inspire other people to be supportive and lift a helping hand where they can. You may notice more developments and opportunities stirring up at the office after Mercury enters Gemini on the 17th, with things really kicking off when the Sun follows suit on the 20th. You can certainly take your time rolling up your sleeves as May begins, but you’ll be ready to put your nose to the grindstone by the time it starts winding down!

Lucky Crystal:

Your energy is going to be coming and going in sudden bursts, Capricorn, and it could leave you feeling a little frazzled at times. Therefore, aventurine is the best stone to make use of in May, as it can help calm the wearer, which will be especially good for you since you’ve got so much activity happening in your health and professional sectors as the planets move along. 

Aventurine can help center you during even the most stressful or burdensome of tasks, so if you find yourself in any overwhelming situations this month, aventurine will come in exceptionally handy.

Aquarius

Positive Influences: Emotional Expression, Romance, Security

Negative Influences: Intensity, Ambition, Poor Judgment

Tarot Card: The Lovers

Lucky Crystal: Amethyst

Lucky Numbers: 4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 17, 20, 22, 29

Affirmation: It is important to nurture both my connection with myself and with others.

Love & Relationships:

Loving Venus is touring Gemini and your 5th House of Passion and Pleasure from the start of the month until the 18th, which is going to be a wonderful time to pursue romance, be it with someone brand-new, or a long-term partner you’ve already had in your life for ages. Sexy Mars is in Aries and your buzzy 3rd House of Local Community until the 18th as well, so this is a great couple of weeks to hit the town and paint it whatever color you prefer; singles will have much better luck flirting and mingling, while couples can enjoy more date nights, whether at favorite haunts or checking out new establishments. In general, focus on the fun side of love this month, then focus on making things official in June.

Career & Money:

May is largely about enjoying yourself, though there are a few important transits and cycles that can help boost you up in the professional world. The 1st arrives with a potent Full Moon in Scorpio and your 10th House of Career, which could bring an important project or ambition to an exciting culmination, with plenty of rewards and recognition in the days and weeks to follow. You can then take it easy for the most part until Venus enters Cancer and your 6th House of Daily Work on the 18th, but rather than forcing you to put your nose to the grindstone, this cycle will make your work life that much more pleasant and enjoyable. Venus wants to smooth the path forward, so even the most complicated assignments will feel like a comparative cake walk.

Lucky Crystal:

With so much happening in your emotional 4th house this month, you’ll probably feel slightly drained, Aquarius, so amethyst is the perfect stone to help you get through May with all your sanity still intact. 

Amethyst is known to help aid mental clarity and calm stressed-out vibrations, so it will keep you calm, cool, and collected. The stone is also known to promote a good night’s rest, so keep a piece of amethyst by your bed, and you should wake up feeling refreshed.

Pisces

Positive Influences: Community, Friendships, Passion

Negative Influences: Overbooked, Lack of Focus, Conflicting Values

Tarot Card: 4 of Swords

Lucky Crystal: Agate

Lucky Numbers: 1, 3, 6, 12, 15, 17, 21, 24, 27

Affirmation: I am my own greatest success story.

Love & Relationships:

Your attention is a little all over the place this month, Pisces, so don’t be surprised if it seems like you have too many things to focus on for romance to occupy center stage. With so many planets moving through Taurus and your chatty 3rd House of Local Community for the first half of the month, you may prefer to mix and mingle, rather than settling down with anyone in particular. However, loving Venus is in Cancer and your 5th House of Passion from the 18th on, so this would be a good time to follow your heart wherever it leads, though with the Sun and Mercury spending this time in Gemini and your domestic 4th House until the 18th, you may crave someone you can introduce to the family, rather than just keeping them around for a fun night or two.

Career & Money:

You are ready to put your best foot forward as May opens, thanks to the fact you’ve got fiery Mars moving through Aries and your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Wealth until the 18th. Mars can help you achieve more and earn more at the drop of a hat, but it can also drive up costs, so you’ll want to be careful about money slipping through your fingers as quickly as you can make it. The rest of the month is going to be more primed for enjoying yourself and socializing, but May does close out with a potent Sagittarius Full Moon on the 31st that will illuminate your 10th House of Career and help you capitalize on any recent success or projects being brought to completion, so you can close things out on an ambitious note.

Lucky Crystal:

You will be fielding a lot of frenetic energy thanks to several active planets heating up your local community sector this month, Pisces; therefore, you need a stone that will help stabilize you and clear the energy around you, so a chunk of agate would be just the right thing. 

Agate is known to help neutralize energy and cleanse your aura, which will be incredibly useful as you try to improve your circumstances throughout the month. Go forward and use it wisely.
