May - Welcome to May, sassy Virgo. Last month, you experienced a Solar eclipse that brought up some deep-seated emotions and challenges, which may have left you a bit shaken up. This month, your horoscope urges you to be open to new ideas. You have a unique perspective on the world, and it's time to let your light shine! Don't be afraid to speak up and share your thoughts and opinions. The stars are also encouraging you to be open to experiences. You're a practical and analytical sign, but sometimes the most ingenious solutions come from thinking outside the box. So go ahead and let your imagination run wild.

May kicks off with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius on May 1. It doesn't mean the planet of transformation is throwing shade at you. Instead, it's an opportunity to reflect and see where you can make some changes for the better. Pluto will return to Capricorn, adding a new dimension to the retrograde experience. It's like Pluto decided to play a cosmic game of musical chairs, and you're along for the ride. It's a chance to revisit old patterns and beliefs that may no longer serve you and make necessary adjustments.

On Friday, May 5, a Lunar eclipse in Scorpio arrives with important news. That's right; it's time to strap in for a wild ride of emotional intensity and change. A Full Moon is always a potent time for release and renewal, and with Scorpio in the mix, you can expect to explore some intense emotions. Expect conversations to be as fierce. Expect a time of endings and new beginnings as you release old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you and make room for abundance. But don't worry Virgo; this eclipse isn't here to scare you off. Instead, it's here to help you tap into your inner power and wisdom.

On Monday, May 7, Venus swims in Cancer and brings nourishment to your community sector. With Venus in Cancer, you'll feel extra loving and nurturing toward your community. Whether it's your friends, family, or colleagues, you'll be able to connect with them on a deeper level and create a sense of emotional intimacy. Plus, this energy is excellent for pursuing your dreams and goals, especially regarding creative and romantic endeavors.

Buckle up, Virgo, because the cosmic energy is shifting again, and this time it's bringing a lot of Taurus energy to the mix. Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, is finally going direct in Taurus, paving the way for a new era of clarity and groundedness. And that's just the beginning! Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, is also entering Taurus on May 16, bringing abundance and prosperity. And to top it all off, we've got a powerful New Moon in Taurus, signaling a time of new beginnings and fresh starts, on May 19.

These transits are an excellent opportunity set intentions for what you truly value and want to cultivate in your life, whether that's a new spiritual practice, an area of study, or a new way of thinking about the world. Taurus energy is all about grounding, stability, and practicality. It's time to get clear, decide what you truly want, and go after your goals.

As the Sun enters Gemini on May 21, illuminating your career and public image sector, you may feel a surge of energy and ambition to pursue your professional goals. But with Mars in Leo settling into your unconscious sector, you may also be experiencing a profound internal energy that's hard to understand or pin down. There's a sense of desire and passion in the air, but it's also tied to your spiritual and intuitive pursuits. For example, you may be drawn to creative or artistic endeavors or have a strong desire to step into a leadership role in your spiritual community.

As you bid farewell to this month's rollercoaster, the cosmos has one final gift for you, a Sun-Saturn square. That may sound intimidating, but this energy is about bringing attention to your career and relationships. Saturn is like a strict coach, pushing you to be your best self and achieve your goals, while the Sun's energy in Gemini brings a sense of adaptability and open-mindedness to the mix. So, whether you're striving for success in your career or working to deepen your relationships, this cosmic duo is here to help you stay on track and move forward with purpose.

This month, use rosemary essential oil to promote feelings of confidence and clarity. Work with citrine crystal to bring abundance, joy, and positivity into your life.
