NEW MOON IN TAURUS: MAY 7
A brand-new cycle begins with the New Moon in Taurus on May 7. This transit holds special significance since it co-joins last month’s Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. It brings the potential to nurture and cultivate the seeds of opportunity that auspicious alignment planted. Together, Jupiter and Uranus ushered in opportunities for change, abundance, wisdom and unexpected breakthroughs.
What makes this New Moon so auspicious is that it’s bookended by to benefic planets, Venus and Jupiter, which symbolize success and good fortune. Venus rules Taurus, so she steps into her full power. The sun’s rays combust Venus and Jupiter, allowing their magical influence to shimmer behind the scenes. Whether you gain clarity or simply plant the seeds of intention, keep those goals private and close to your heart through this time. By keeping things under wraps, you’ll set the stage for blessings to blossom once Venus and Jupiter emerge from the sun’s beams. Once they do, their gifts (love, generosity, concern for others) will bloom.
Magical, miraculous…Taurus’ grounded energies anchor and center us as we move slowly and take practical steps to realize our vision.
MERCURY ENTERS TAURUS: MAY 15 - JUNE 3
After two months of Mercury's fast and fiery energy in Aries, it's time for a shift in our mindset. Fortunately, Mercury has now moved into Taurus, providing a much-needed break. With Mercury in Taurus, things slow down and our minds become calmer. This shift has a more grounded and practical vibe, which can bring enjoyment and connection, especially since Venus rules Taurus. Our thought process is now slower and more deliberate, and our mental focus shifts toward finding practical solutions. We’re more interested in methodical planning, grounded thinking and factual information.
However, Mercury clashes with Pluto the next day. This may lead to confrontations as we reclaim our autonomy and share our truths. With Pluto and Mercury together, we can become obsessed with ideas, wherever our mind steers us. We may need to confront complex realities that need to be addressed. This only lasts for a few days—at most. Cheers to a peaceful state of mind!
SUN ENTERS GEMINI: MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Hello, Gemini Season! As the Sun enters Gemini, it brings a vibrant, joyful shift for the Sun. Gemini season highlights versatility with a restless, scattered vibe. Gemini is insatiably curious, a master of multitasking, capable of seeing life from all different perspectives. It’s time to socialize, be flexible and keep an open mind. Let your playful, witty side shine through. Embrace the contradictions within yourself and others—that's part of the charm.
The next day, the Sun trines transformative Pluto, igniting our inner power and curiosity. We will be more confident expressing ourselves, prioritizing our needs and discovering our inner strength.
Cheers to Gemini Season!
FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS: MAY 23
Get ready! On May 23, the full moon will illuminate the sky in visionary Sagittarius. This complex lunation merges various energies, pulling you in many directions at once. Freedom-seeking Sag loves expansion and adventure, colored by wisdom and optimism. Meanwhile, the Sun trines Pluto, adding intellectual intensity, breakthroughs and inner strength to this mix.
Jupiter in Taurus rules this full moon, providing the anchor of a stable, secure and consistent vibe. It conjoins Venus in Taurus, bringing contentment and relishing in the present moment while enjoying simple pleasures and tactile comforts. The tension lies between Sagittarius's fundamental need for excitement and adventure versus Taurus's need for consistency and stability.
Jupiter is nearing the end of its transit through Taurus, preparing to move on, yet it isn't ready, knowing change is imminent. For the next two weeks, we'll be feeling this energy. While chilling on your sofa, embrace the Taurus vibe, let your mind drift into visionary Sagittarius and dream big about what will bring fulfillment in your next adventure. Be that visionary. Cheers to new horizons!
VENUS IN GEMINI: MAY 23 - JUNE 17
Venus in Gemini brings a witty, sociable, lighthearted and flirtatious energy. It’s also charming, eloquent and accommodating. Curiosity motivates us in romantic and social interactions—the key is to be interesting. Forge bonds through words: wit, clever banter and engaging conversations attract us. During this transit, we're most attracted to mentally stimulating people.
It’s time to be animated, playful and fun! Keep things light and on the surface – save the deep emotional drama for later. This isn’t time to go it alone, delve into friendship and collaboration. It’s best to work around others while Venus transits through Gemini. Cheers to a fun, flirtatious and playful Venus!
JUPITER ENTERS GENMINI: MAY 25 - JUNE 9, 2025
One of the most significant astrological events in 2024 is Jupiter's arrival in Gemini on May 25.
