Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)

The themes of your May, Aries? Self-worth and cash flow. Uranus the rebel is finally leaving Aries after eight years on May 15th. Aries, you've had eight years to figure who you want to be. Now is the time to rock the real you. Uranus in moving into your house of self-worth and money; focus on both.

Please don't fight, watch your temper, and develop compassion.  

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

Happy birthday, Taurus! May is the month of ch-ch-ch-changes. Turn and face the strange. Uranus, the planet of radical change, freedom, and rebellion moves into your sign, shaking up the world as you knew it. Breathe.

Rest assured, all that you love—money, food, and the earth—are there in support with Uranus in Taurus. So, take a gamble on yourself!  

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You've got your swag on this month, Gemini. Work it! With Venus shining brightly in your sign, get out there, flirt, and share your charms. Everyone wants to hang with you! On the quieter side, Taurus enters your 12th house, making it an ideal time to learn, meditate, go on a retreat, and take a pause. Uranus, the planet of freedom, is calling you, restless Gemini, to find a spiritual practice. You've got eight years, so you can relax into it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

New month, new personalities in your life. Uranus, the outer planet of freedom and rebellion, moves into your 11th house of friendships and like-minded people. It's time to connect and hang with your tribe. It's also time for a new wave of people entering your life who may be crazy, strange, and altogether fabulous! This is a welcome change as the heavy planets of Pluto and Saturn are parked in your house of committed relationships for now. So, relish in the welcome relief of lightness when it comes to your friendships and fun.

Leo (July 23-Aug 22)

Game on, Leo! Are you ready to shine? Uranus is about to blast radical change into your career or mission in life. As it moves into the sign of Taurus on May 15th supported by a new moon, you are set up to reboot, recharge, and renew. What do you want to do with your career, Leo? Be bold, be brave and take some risks. But know Uranus always brings surprises. So, go with the flow and be open to the unexpected. Please, dear Leo, don't miss this chance to shake things up for the better. Good news: you have eight years to get it right.  

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

Dear Virgo, wake up! With the new moon and Uranus moving into your 9th house, it's the perfect time to expand your world. This alignment emphasizes broadening of horizons, both literally and figuratively. Virgo, cash in all those miles you have accumulated and book your trip to a far-flung place. Travel now, study something new, deepen your spiritual practice, fall in love with someone from another culture. Uranus, the great awakener, will remain in your 9th house for the next eight years. Along with Chiron's entry into the bold and brave sign of Aries, change is in the air. Be open to breathing it in. 

Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22)

Step out and celebrate, Libra! Uranus, the planet of radical change and awakening, will exit your house of committed relationships on May 15th. For the past eight years, you've managed to attract all of the crazies. Your relationships have been chaotic, shaken up, or broken. Somehow, you managed to survive. Uranus has now entered your house of intimacy and sex, so it's time to get your groove on. The wilder the better. Uranus' energy of radical change is also beckoning you to break away from all you've outgrown. Where have you grown stagnant? There are new opportunities when it comes to money and inheritance. Pay attention! But don't fret and make sure to have fun; you have eight years to sort out the changes.

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)

The key theme of this month: intimate relationships. (As if that's a surprise!) Uranus enters your 7th house of committed relationships on May 15. Feeling restless, stale, complacent or bored in this part of your life? Do not fear! Uranus' energy will ignite a spark for attracting new people into your orbit. Be prepared for anything to inspire and awaken you, maybe even some freaks and geeks. Pushing for us to feel alive, Uranus will entice all, whether single or attached. But before you run off with the first hottie you encounter, think about it, pause, and be rational. We know how hard it is for you, dear Scorpio, to let go of anyone you entice. It should be a most interesting next eight years for you.

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)

OK, Sag, it's time to connect your feet to the earth! You know it. You have been feeling this pull to get grounded and serious since December. On May 15th, the new moon and Uranus enter your 6th house. This brings renewed focus on your career, colleagues, and the everyday business of living. You dig Uranus' energy. It's there to shake up and break up what no longer serves you. With Uranus now rooted in Taurus, attention shifts from love affairs, frivolity, and creativity to centeredness. So please—slow it down, pay your bills on time, eat organic food, work hard, and all the while commit to some real self-care. You'll love yourself for it, Sag. 

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19)

It's your time to lighten up, dear Capricorn. With Saturn and Pluto now in your sun sign, you can take a break from all the serious stuff! On May 15th, a few hours after the new moon enters Taurus, Uranus enters into your 5th house of romance, creativity, and fun. Yes, fun, Cappy. Taurus, a fellow earth sign, is also ushering in a period of abundant, harmonious energy. So, let loose. Embark on a new love affair, take off to Italy for a cooking class, do something just for the fun of it. Just promise it will not be all work and no play this month. Enjoy!

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)

Go home, Aquarius! Your ruling planet, Uranus will be moving into the sign of Taurus on May 15th. Along with the dawn of the new moon in your 4th house, this month highlights all things relating to home—your residence, roots, and family. It's a good month to veg out on the couch, visit your parents, nest, and redecorate. This may involve a relocation or move to a new place. With Uranus in the 4th house, there is a restless urgency to create a sense of home, literally and figuratively, that is completely different from what you've experienced. Let go of old conditioning. Be free, dear Aquarius, to build anew.  Afterall, freedom is your very essence.

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)

It's going to be Mindfulness Month for you, Pisces. The new moon, along with the brilliant planet Uranus, enters your 3rd house on May 15th. This house focuses on your attitude, mind, and communication via learning, writing, and community engagement. You are ripe and ready to come up with genius ideas and new ways to communicate and show up in this world. For all these flashes of insight, you really need to first quiet your mind. Go and meditate, Pisces. You love to zone out, just please do it now with a purpose.
