If I had to summarise something about May, the keywords would be movement and building a solid foundation. In May, most planets will be out of the water sign and into the air and fire sign, which means the collective energy will have more mental clarity and power to act. We aren't trapped in the intensity of our emotions anymore, like what the Pisece season brings. Also, all the inner planets have gone direct, which is also a signal of moving forward with ease. Pluto is going to be retrograde from May 4 to October 13 in the sign of Aquarius. Pluto is an outer planet, which means its influence will be applied more collectively, and you won't see the immediate effect in your personal life. In General, May is a month when we can finally breathe and build up some momentum in our lives. The cosmic energy is no longer murky anymore but is supporting us to take actions to actualise our dreams. The Taurus season of May is also a good energy movement for money, beauty and all things that bring us comfort and pleasure. So enjoy the sweet cosmic tide of this month.
May 1: Venus conjunct Neptune - Love is in the Air
Somehow, this conjunction gives me a vibe of meeting your soulmate and a strong sense of spiritual bond, no matter who you interact with at the beginning of May. Venus is the planet of love, and Neptune is our spiritual planet; this combination can have a lot of spiritual spark being provoked in our relationships. The conjunction is happening in Aries, which indicates the ignition of passion in love. But be aware that another energy manifestation from this could be a sense of too good to be true. If that's the case, it is a great chance to evaluate your self-worth and also be cautious about potential deception and illusions. Be honest with your gut feelings. This conjunction won't last super long as Venus will keep moving forward faster than Neptune. So it is a great window to meet people and have some sort of spiritual bond forming, but do not expect it to be a solid, long-lasting one, as Venus quickly moves on, and Neptune is still in the dream.
May 4 to October 13: Pluto retrograde in Aquarius
Like I mentioned before, Pluto is an outer planet, which means it moves more slowly than the inner planets, like the sun, the moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus. In that sense, we can feel its effect more collectively than individually. But his retrograde time is a slow process of going inward, especially things that are hidden within us. Pluto is the planet of the underworld, and Aquarius is the energy of group work and humanitarian. This tells me we are going through a period where there are loads of global events that will trigger us into an introspection of the dark side of humanity. Personally, depends on where Pluto is located in which house in your chart, so he will work with you in different areas of your life. For example, my one is located in my 8th house of death and trauma, so I could expect there is a deeper healing work that needs to be done for the next couple of months.
May 12/13: Full moon in Scorpio + Mercury Square Pluto
Even though throughout May we have more sweet aspects than the challenging ones, this Full moon can be one of them that brings intensity. The full moon brings the truth to the surface, it indicates completion and endings. This does not mean every full moon you're gonna end sth, it simply means with full moon energy it's easier for you to let go. However, the Scorpio energy has its emotional depth and intensity, so this full moon is more likely to stir up some deep emotions that you've been suppressing to the surface. Now you will see the light of it and have a chance for deep healing and emotional release. Side note about the Mercury squares Pluto, this challenging aspect may bring some uncomfortable conversations that result from your emotional triggers that have been poked by Pluto, be aware of what you say, as Mercury in Aries can be taken as the aggressor in communication without empathy towards others' feelings. Do not get into a fight because you speak your mind. Step back and sink in to avoid unnecessary escalation. But this is also not meant to avoid important conversations that could feel uncomfortable, it is just a reminder of being mindful of your communication.
May 17: Sun conjunct Uranus - Unexpected liberation
The sun in astrology represents our vitality and where our focus is. Uranus is a planet of wake-up call and liberation. This combination is going to happen in the sign of Taurus, which may bring us some event that totally takes us out of our comfort zone but ultimately changes for the good, so our energy won't get stuck in a plateau. Also, this will depend on where the Taurus energy is in your chart. For instance, this conjunction will happen in my natal 11th house of friendship and networking, where the unexpected change will mainly be emphasised in this area.
May 24: Saturn enters Aries - Walk your talk for the big rewards
Saturn is the lord of Karma; it brings challenges and obstacles, but also brings long-term reward if you are able to be persistent with its tests. May 24 marks a significant journey of Saturn to step into a new sign, and it will stay there for 2 or 3 years. Aries is the energy of the doer, the go-getter. Saturn step into this first cardinal fire sign says a lot about taking the leadership of your life, and being consistent and determined working towards your goal. There is no laid-back energy here if you are up for the prize that Saturn brings. Depends on your chart where the Aries energy is located, Saturn is going to work with this area of life in your chart for the next 2-3 years, this is requireing your hardwork in this area of your life, there is no shortcut, or you will feel overburdened by Saturn's heavy duty.
May 27: New Moon in Gemini - Get yourself out there.
This is a very harmonious new moon, as most of the other configurations of planets are in a harmonious aspect to support this New Moon. Gemini is a very social sign, it likes to talk and learn. So this new moon energy is very good to start or launch anything that involves messages, whether it's verbal or written. Get yourself out there to be seen, or get your social network going to prepare yourself for the next level of expansion. It's a good time here. Also, if you want to start to learn sth new under this New Moon, it is good for that too.
In summary, Utilising the energy of May the most, if you want to launch sth, learn sth and start sth, this is the month for action. No more sitting around wishing it will happen, but have a plan and act upon it. Good luck and enjoy it!
