May 2024 heralds a dynamic interplay of celestial energies, shaping our cosmic landscape with profound implications for personal growth and collective evolution.

Meanwhile, Mercury’s retrograde dance finally ends for clarity to ensue once again, highlighting the importance of realistic planning after a period of retrospection.

Let’s explore the celestial influences shaping our lives and guiding us towards growth, healing, and enlightenment this month!

May 1st: Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius

Spend time over the next week clearing things out as you consider your next move. Forced out of your comfort zone, sudden bursts of inspiration to clean up will appear, boosting your creativity. You will find that you can finish quickly and work independently.

May 2nd: Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius

Pluto is responsible for intense transformations and upheaval, so a period of retrograde slows these changes right down. With time to adjust to what has happened previously, you have the space to reflect on the mistakes made, acknowledge what has been learned from the past few months, and, importantly, how to move forward.

May 7th: New Moon in Taurus

This munificent new moon begins a period of stability and security. With an injection of confidence, you can apply yourself to whatever projects you start. Sow seeds of love or financial gain at this time for a flourishing Autumn.

May 15th: First Quarter Moon in Leo

Spend the next week adjusting your creativity by either changing how you can be more creative with your projects and hobbies or making any other changes in a creative way. Making small changes means more enjoyment for yourself.

May 15th (also): Mercury Enters Taurus

Now that Mercury has begun its forward journey once again, you can slow down and contemplate your plans. It is a time to think practically and strategically when it comes to money, business, and relationship goals. Take your time to think things through as you want to be confident in your decisions.

May 20th: Sun Enters Gemini

When the sun enters Gemini, you will feel a little more active, animated, and lively because you will be curious about everything. Putting together short-term plans, sorting through ideas, and keeping busy keeps you engaged during the Gemini season. From thoughts and ideas to the latest gossip, your mind and mouth will be going full steam ahead.

May 23rd: Full Moon in Sagittarius

It is time to let go of the old, get out of your rut, and take a big leap of faith. The full moon in Sagittarius helps you forge a new path to serve your higher purpose. With a solid view of the big picture, your mood is kept light so you can be more passionate about your beliefs and defend yourself if necessary. It is a great time to finalize a course of study or your travel plans.

May 23rd (also): Venus Enters Gemini

Using the power of your voice over the next few weeks will make a big difference when you use it well; just don’t make promises you can’t keep. Your ability to open up lines of communication and express yourself is highlighted. You enjoy using your mind to connect with others mentally.

May 25th: Jupiter Enters Gemini

With the planet of luck and spirituality entering the talkative and charismatic sign of Gemini for the next year, you will open up to and adapt to new ideas and potential. Indulge your appetite for knowledge, make connections with new people, engage in a variety of interests, and remain open-minded and flexible.

May 30th: Last Quarter Moon in Pisces

Spend the next week cleaning up and clearing out in big ways and by finishing many small projects and tasks. A spiritual deep-clean will rid you of any karmic baggage slowing you down.
