May 1: Uranus Sextile North Node
We kick off May with Uranus sextile the North Node, a transit that practically screams, “It’s time to embrace your unique path!” Uranus, the planet of sudden change and innovation, is nudging your destiny (a.k.a. the North Node) in an exciting new direction. This is your cosmic green light to break free from anything holding you back from your true potential. Expect unexpected opportunities or insights that could push you closer to your life’s purpose. If you’ve been itching for a change, this might be the universe giving you a little nudge. Just remember, with Uranus involved, things can be a bit unpredictable.
May 4: Pluto Retrograde
On May 4th, Pluto goes retrograde, signaling a time to take a deep dive into your personal underworld. This retrograde is about transformation from the inside out, with a clear focus on the future. Be prepared to unearth and relocate those old skeletons, as clearing your subconscious is crucial for making new moves. With Pluto now in Aquarius—leaving Capricorn behind for our lifetimes—this is the moment to break free from outdated structures and rigid mindsets that no longer serve you. Pluto in Aquarius offers a powerful opportunity to reimagine your life in a way that aligns more authentically with who you are now. Embrace the changes ahead, and don’t shy away from challenging the status quo. Change will be all around you, as humanity itself is deeply invested in this transformative process.
May 10: Mercury Enters Taurus
On May 10th, Mercury enters Taurus, and suddenly, everything slows down a notch. After Mercury’s quickfire stint in Aries, Taurus brings a more deliberate, steady pace to your thoughts and communication. This is a great time to focus on practical matters, like your finances or anything that requires patience and persistence. Mercury in Taurus isn’t about rushing; it’s about making sure every word and action has weight. If you’ve been feeling scattered, this transit will help you ground your ideas and make more thoughtful decisions.
May 12: Full Moon in Scorpio
May 12th brings a Full Moon in Scorpio, expect deep emotions and hidden truths to the surface. This is a powerful time for transformation and release—think of it as a cosmic purge. If there’s anything you’ve been holding onto that no longer serves you, now’s the time to let it go. Scorpio energy doesn’t do anything halfway so schedule time for yourself, you deserve it. And so does the future self you are making space for.
May 18: Jupiter Sextile Chiron & Jupiter Square North Node
On May 18th, we’ve got a double whammy with Jupiter sextile Chiron and Jupiter square the North Node. Jupiter sextile Chiron is like a big, cosmic Band-Aid, offering opportunities for healing and growth. This transit encourages you to expand your understanding of your wounds and find new ways to heal them. It’s a great time for personal development and may act as a healing salve for the Scorpio Full Moon that just passed. However the squaring of the North Node, could bring some tension around your life’s direction. This square might feel like you’re being pulled in different directions—do you follow the path of growth, or do you stick with what’s safe? I always recommend abandoning the comfort zone for the learning zone.
May 20: Sun Enters Gemini
On May 20th, the Sun enters Gemini, and suddenly, everything gets a little lighter and more playful. Gemini season is all about curiosity, communication, and flexibility. After the steady, grounded energy of Taurus season, Gemini brings a breath of fresh air. This is a great time to explore new ideas, connect with others, and let your inner social butterfly take flight. Just be careful not to spread yourself too thin—Gemini loves to dabble in everything, but that can sometimes lead to burnout.
May 24: Saturn Enters Aries
On May 24th, Saturn enters Aries, and it’s time to get serious about taking action. Saturn in Aries is all about responsibility, discipline, and structure, but with a fiery, assertive twist. This transit will push you to take charge of your life and make things happen, but it won’t let you off the hook if you try to cut corners. Saturn in Aries is about learning how to lead with integrity and courage. If there’s something you’ve been procrastinating on, now’s the time to tackle it head-on.
May 25: Mercury Enters Gemini
On May 25th, Mercury enters Gemini, and communication speeds up once again. Mercury rules Gemini, so this is a transit where the planet feels right at home. Expect your mind to be buzzing with ideas, and conversations to flow more freely. This is a great time for brainstorming, writing, and networking. Mercury in Gemini loves to learn, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself diving into new topics or picking up new skills. Be mindful of information overload—Gemini can unwittingly scatter its energy all over the place.
May 26: New Moon in Gemini
We close out the month with a New Moon in Gemini on May 26th, offering a fresh start in the realm of communication, learning, and connection. Your manifestations should be focused on curiosity, adaptability, and mental growth if you want to take advantage of the astrolgoical supports. And trust me this New Moon is a green light and whatever you start now is likely to take off quickly. Make sure your intentions are clear—or Gemini will get you lost in the sauce.
