May Monthly Horoscopes
/
May, the month of flowers, mothers, and cinco de mayo is known for its beauty and showering of love. According to multiple sources, the month of May got its name from the Greek Goddess Maia, the Goddess of Fertility. In the Gregorian and Julian Calendar, May is the 5th month of the year.
Each month carries a numerical essence based on the present calendar year. For 2019, May carries the numerical essence of eight. In traditional numerology, the number eight symbolizes power, authority, management, wealth, debt, karma, and death.
May’s eight essence inspires creative power. Areas that influence business, legacy, self-improvement, money, and shared resources are highlighted. With Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter retrograde until late summer and early fall, our efforts are more focused and intentional. Last month left us inquisitive and anxious for answers. This month gives us the confidence (and hard knocks) we need to take the steps towards a new enterprise, relationship, or self-improvement project. Eight’s karmic vibration can sometimes bring negative encounters with the law. Double check before you sign any contract, or commit to a high-risk decision.
May begins with a powerful New Moon in Taurus on Saturday May 6th. The New Moon in Taurus brings energies of perseverance and self-sufficiency. Before you take on any large investment, get a clear appraisal of your personal finances, debts, and assets. If you want to go to a new level, you have to know what you’re working with.
Traditional routes may be more promising this month, especially with the Sun still in Taurus until May 21. Even if you are feeling restless, and somewhat bored, this transit will inspire you to set aside your personal emotions and stick it out. Risk is important for growth, but this month depends on practicality. If you want to move forward, you have to be realistic about what you can actually accomplish in the timeframe that you need.
In the beginning of the month relationships continue to explore the medium between independence and interdependence. Couples may find themselves more playful, adventurous, and combative. This is because Venus is still in Aries. Venus will remain in Aries until May 15. On May 15, Venus will enter Taurus until June 8. When Venus is in Taurus, relationships become more serious, goal-oriented, committed. Couples may find themselves having serious conversations about the future, budgeting, and asset control. Intimacy also heightens during this transit. Where Aries was passion, flames, and self-focused, Taurus is intentional, observant, and stubborn. Singles may find this period alluring. It’s the perfect time to think about dating someone for the long — short flings won’t last.
April was an intense month communication wise. Mercury spent most of its transit in fiery Aries after a three-month journey through Pisces. This month Mercury is in Aries until May 6. This transit emphasizes our need to take responsibility for the information we process and share. Personal communications project get a green light, and avoided topics can be addressed. When Mercury moves into Taurus on May 6 until May 21, communications will become more focused and goal oriented. Past ideas and information can be put into shape and form; chaos is transmitted. This transit is best used to do tedious desk work. Focusing on one task at a time will guarantee the best results. Be open minded when talking to other people. Closed minds don’t get fed.
Mercury will enter Gemini on May 21. Mercury will be in Gemini until June 4. When Mercury is in Gemini our communications are often scattered. Gemini is traditionally ruled by Mercury. This transit increases mental stimulation, making it difficult to sometimes focus on one specific task. After an intense Mercury in Taurus cycle, Gemini could feel refreshing, almost like a breath of fresh air. This transit is best used as a test trial. Talk to other people, share your work, ask for feedback and consideration.
Mars, the planet of action and vitality has been in Gemini since the last day of March. When Mars is in Gemini, our actions are rich in mind. This is a period that encourages us to think openly and colorfully. We are more expressive about what we are feeling, and we tend to do this in more dramatic and mysterious ways. During this transit it may be difficult to stay focused on what’s right in front of you, especially if you desire to be somewhere else. Actions without commitment won’t last when Mars is in Gemini. The secret to this transit is using the imagination. If you can believe it in your heart and mind, it will be.
When Mars enters Cancer on May 15 until July 1, the next two months will be a period of emotional action. Mars in Cancer invokes us to act from our emotional center, and family influences are heavy. Our desire to do comes from our need to fulfill ourselves, others, the world. During this transit, pay attention to your cravings and late night addictions. This is a water period, we may be more delayed or “slow” in our movements. It may take you longer to do one thing, so plan accordingly. Mars in Cancer is the perfect time to indulge in creative work regarding the arts, music, dance, cooking, body and womb work, sex. It could also be a time where there is more emphasis on family duties, and the mother.
On May 21 when the Sun enters Gemini, we can expect our personalities to shift with the air. Gemini is a mutable air sign. It doesn’t become obsessed or attached to a thought, person, place or thing. This characteristic can be our best friend or worst enemy during this transit. When the Sun is in Gemini, it it is best to use the intellectualism of Gemini to study and empower your goals. Gemini is all about expression. It needs to express and experience all parts of itself, or internally it will die. When we embody the creative attributes of Gemini, we open ourselves to a limitless well of creative knowledge. Gemini has the ability to absorb facts and information like no other sign. Educate yourself on the information you seek, but remember that it’s just as important to share and play.
This month’s lunar cycles consistents of a New Moon in Taurus on May 4, a First Quarter Moon in Leo on May 11, a Full Moon in Scorpio on May 18, and a Last Quarter Moon in Pisces on May 26.

For horoscopes I suggest reading your Rising/Ascendant Sign Reading first. Once you’ve read your Rising reading, read your Sun and then your Moon. Store notes and feeling on each. Once you’ve read them all, try and weave them into a story.
Here’s a simple guide to help you:
The Rising Reading: sets the scene and writes the script. this is what and how you experience.
The Sun Reading: casts the play. this is how others experience and play a role in your show.
The Moon Reading: evaluates the show. this is how you internalize and process what is you are seeing, hearing, and feeling.
