cancer Monthly Horoscope

May - Can you believe it's May already, sweet Cancer!? Last month brought an intense solar eclipse and much-needed change to your long-term goals and aspirations. Your career also played a major role, urging you to reevaluate your life path. Now, this month motivates you to make new social connections and rethink your networking groups. Perhaps you are holding on to people blocking your growth and progress. Either way, your monthly horoscope provides all the tea you need to navigate any changes. So let's dive in!

The month starts with Pluto retrograde on the 2nd, and as Pluto retraces its steps, you are prompted to clean out the closet and reevaluate your approach to power dynamics in your relationships, particularly those involving shared finances, emotional bonds, and deep intimate connections. You'll have added support to make necessary adjustments with the New Moon on the 7th. This New Moon in Taurus encourages you to plant seeds of intention regarding your social networks and future endeavors. Take this opportunity to set intentions that align with your long-term vision, while focusing on building a solid foundation for your aspirations to bloom.

Taurus brings reliability and endurance to your relationships and group affiliations. Inspiring you to cultivate connections based on trust, loyalty, and mutual respect. The vibration you surround yourself with determines your energy and manifestations. So, anchor yourself in purpose and direction. Ask yourself, "Do my current friendships support me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually?" How can you establish your boundaries and the boundaries of others?

The waxing moon enters your sign on the 10th, calling you toward some much-needed pampering. Since the energy is waxing, you can expect a surge of emotional vitality and confidence. This is an auspicious time for setting intentions related to self-care, home life, and personal growth.

Get ready for a whirlwind of unexpected, yet exciting shifts, as the Sun teams up with Uranus, sparking surprising developments, while Mercury strides into Taurus on the 15th. Venus joins forces with Uranus, and the Sun aligns with Jupiter on the 18th. These energies strongly emphasize friendships, social networks, and group activities. Yes, that's right your social circle takes center stage. Expect conversations and major news. Stay away from gossip!

Especially, because the chatty Gemini season begins on the 20th. At least you'll be more inclined to solitude and minding your own business. Drawn to exploring the spiritual or mystical aspects of life. This season offers opportunities for emotional healing, forgiveness, and releasing past traumas. It's a favorable time to work on deep-seated emotional patterns that may hold you back. And you may just be granted the opportunity to take a long-awaited trip/vacation. Or maybe it's an inner psychological and spiritual journey.

Perhaps when the Full Moon arrives on the 23rd, you'll feel more in tune and balanced in your daily life. The Sagittarius Full Moon lands in your area of habits, daily routines, and health. It's an ideal phase to swap unhealthy habits and behaviors to create a solid foundation and a healthier lifestyle. You may be wrapping up a major project. If you've been overdoing it, take time out for YOU!

Venus enters Gemini at the same time, elevating your spiritual journey. It’s a good time to join a spiritual group or retreat. Socialize with others who share your views and beliefs or from whom you can learn. Spending time alone is a mixed blessing during this transit, so watch out for loneliness during this time.

And, when Jupiter enters Gemini on the 25th, you'll receive spiritual protection and optimism. This is an excellent time to rid yourself of self-destructive tendencies, deep-rooted fears, and guilt. Jupiter supports abundance, luck, and expansion in all areas.

Mercury and Uranus closely align on the 31st, closing out the month. Expect answers or insight into any challenges and questions you've previously had about your life purpose, friendship groups, goals, and dreams.

To summarize, May offers significant shifts in your deepest relationships, finances, purpose, and destiny. You are encouraged to stop worrying and take that next step. The universe supports you in ways you can't begin to imagine.

Self-care tip: Reflect on your needs and priorities within your social circle. Practice assertiveness by communicating your boundaries clearly and respectfully. Remember, it's okay to say no to activities or interactions that drain your energy or compromise your values. Prioritize relationships that uplift and support you.

May's affirmation: "This month, my goal is to focus on learning to grow into a better person for myself and my community."
