Lots of celestial highlights this month…These are 5-star transits that promise unexpected opportunities and a surge of optimism and excitement. The energy will be electrifying!
The signs of Taurus and Gemini rule May.
Taurus teaches us how to be grounded, how to luxuriate for a moment. Taurus encourages us to take a moment for ourselves and to slow down. Gemini, like summer, is flirtatious. The butterfly of the zodiac, Gemini teaches us how to communicate love to our families and friends, and lean into our own charisma.
Let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:
May 3rd, 2024 – Pluto Goes Retrograde
Around May 3rd, 2024 (plus or minus one week), Themes like transformation, power struggles, and psychological depth will be intensified. If you have planets around 1-3° in fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), this retrograde will speak to you directly.
Pluto will be retrograde until October 12th, 2024, and in September, it will slip back into Capricorn. This is the last time – the very last time – we will have Pluto in Capricorn.
In November 2024, when Pluto moves into Aquarius for good, we will be officially done with the 20-year Pluto in Capricorn transit, and the transformative themes that have been stirred in our lives will begin to shift.
May 8th, 2024 – New Moon In Taurus
This is potent! Something important, something you couldn’t fully grasp before, will become obvious to you.
The New Moon is also providing the necessary foundations and support to make our dreams come true. Both Taurus and Saturn think long-term; they take their time to create something of essence, something that can withstand the test of time.
The seed that you will plant at the New Moon will eventually bloom into tangible accomplishments with lasting impact. This is bigger than you may realize!
May 15th, 2024 – Mercury Enters Taurus
What did the insights gained during Mercury conjunct Chiron in Aries reveal about yourself and your inner narrative? Now it’s time to lick our wounds, integrate the lessons learned, and move on.
Our self-worth is a direct reflection of our sense of identity and self-acceptance. When we heal our identity, when we accept ourselves for who we are, and embrace our strengths and vulnerabilities, our self-worth naturally improves.
Yes, we are worth it!
May 18th, 2024 – Sun Conjunct Jupiter
The Sun is who we are, and Jupiter is our faith, beliefs, and optimism.
Jupiter plays a very important role in the development of our psyche. If you don’t believe in yourself, you won’t go further, you won’t do much.
We all need Jupiter in our life, we all need something to believe in.
Imagine a world without Jupiter. Imagine a world where every little step comes with doubt, with disbelief. How much progress do you think is possible?
Jupiter fuels us with the faith and optimism that growth and progress are indeed possible. So put your metaphorical Superman or Wonder Woman suit on. What would this alter ego pursue?
May 18th, 2024 – Venus Conjunct Uranus
This is the “my heart skipped a beat” transit: your heart might skip a beat either because you’re frightened, surprised, or because you’re very very excited.
With Uranus, you never know. Whatever it is that grabs your attention, it’s sourced in the higher intelligence of the universe. It’s the real thing!
Some surprise encounters and opportunities may set you on an exciting, new path.
Say YES!
May 20th, 2024 – Mars Conjunct North Node
Every other year, Mars and North Node remind us of our purpose, indicating how far – or how close – we are to fulfilling who we’re meant to be.
This transit may not provide a clear “how-to” guide, but it will awaken something within you. Pay attention to what inspires you, what draws you in.
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” – Joseph Campbell
May 20th, 2024 – Sun Enters Gemini
Happy birthday to all Geminis out there!
For you and everyone else, this is that time of the year to be a bit more like a Gemini – curious, open-minded, and cross-pollinate ideas, reflections, and insights.
May 23rd, 2024 – Venus Conjunct Jupiter
Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing? This time, yes! This is THE transit to indulge in luxury, celebrate abundance, and bask in the pleasures of life.
May 23rd, 2024 – Full Moon In Sagittarius
The Full Moon in Sagittarius is a time for magic manifestations, celebrations, cultural immersions, and joy-filled adventures.
“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Saint Augustine.
We are talking not only about literal travel, but about traveling with the mind’s eye. About going on a different route to work. About trying an exotic dish. Adventure is a state of mind, it’s about our willingness to stay open and be in awe of the beauty and richness of life.
I will be offering my extended sign horoscopes on my Facebook group page, for those who are interested in a more personal analysis of this Willow Moon.
May 24th, 2024 – Jupiter Sextile Neptune
Dreams, rainbows, and unicorns? This sextile can bring artistic inspiration, imagination, and spiritual connection.
That being said, a sextile is a soft aspect that sometimes goes unnoticed, especially if none of the 2 planets trigger your chart in major ways.
However, considering the bigger picture: this time we can expect to experience the magic of this aspect in more tangible, meaningful ways.
May 25th, 2024 – Jupiter Enters Gemini
Expect a boom of all things social.
Time to get out of the house, go to networking events and meet new people.
Get ready! This month will bring forth unprecedented shifts that could change the trajectory of your life.
Remember there is no healing without going through darkness. It is not something to run away from but rather to embrace from a place of compassion and awareness.
It is time to face our shit and to own it.
Bold and passionate action is required for you to step up that is the name of the game with this month.
Embrace May!!
