Weekly Horoscopes for May 20 - May 26

After a very intense Scorpio Full Moon last week, this week begins with a softer start. The week begins with the waning Moon in Sagittarius forming a winning conjunction with Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius. This alignment opens the door to new creative ways of expressing and exploring the fruits of the greater world. Where Sagittarius rules in your chart will determine the effects of this aspect, however, it is best to use this as a moment of forward movement. Any idea that has been pressing you for quite some time should be acted upon now.

On Tuesday, The Sun will leave Taurus and begin a new four-week cycle in Gemini. Gemini is the 3rd sign of the Zodiac, and the first of the three air signs. Gemini’s mutable quality allows it to be both fast thinking and slow to move. It’s important to note that anytime a inner planet is in Gemini there is an increase in mental energy and stimulation. Gemini Season 2019 invokes a resurgence of the whole man. Many of us will find ourselves integrating the shadows of the Scorpio Full Moon by embarking on a new path of thought consciousness. The way that we think, communicate, and share information is changing. Instead of competing, we are being lead to share, to build, to develop a stronger sense of the individual as community, not against it. For the next four-weeks pay close attention to the thoughts that you meditate on, the music you listen to, the images that you watch. If you’ve been thinking about embarking on a new course of study this is a great time to indulge in some self-taught learning. Also, if you feel you have been called to walk as a teacher, actor, communicator, journalist -- this transit is for you. The Sun will be in Gemini until June 21.

Also happening on Tuesday, Mercury will join the Sun in Gemini until June 4. This three-week transit is very powerful, as Mercury is Gemini’s natural ruler. During this period, know what you are going to do before you do it, otherwise you could easily get lost in the rabbit hole. Gemini is air, and Mercury rules logic (the mind). Therefore this transit increases mental capacity. Mercury in Gemini helps us to expand our frame of thinking and dive into untapped places. This transit brings consciously all the plans that you’ve been building for the last three months. However, if you want to execute with precision, you need to come up with a clear plan. Gemini is easily distracted and often restless, especially if it finds itself in the same routine or rut. Unlike Taurus, Gemini does not appreciate doing the same thing over and over. It may take you longer to do remedial tasks. If you get stuck in one task, give yourself permission to take a short break. Just make sure that you bring yourself back to it and finish. Be aware of what you commit to and what you start during this time, it's easy to jump ahead of yourself. Beware of information overload. Turn off those screens.

On Sunday, the Last Quarter Moon in Pisces casts its essence into the cosmic sky. Last Quarter Moons are my favorite phase in the lunar cycle because they bring everything all together. New Moons build the fire, First Quarter Moons light the fire, Full Moons make it spread, and Last Quarter Moons bring it all together with dark chocolate, graham crackers, and vegan marshmallows. The Last Quarter Moon is where the tension of the Full Moon is resolved and put to good use. It is a time of shedding and integration. We are not concerned with the fluff and frill of the New Moon, nor are we absorbed in the brightness of the Full Moon, we are focused, ready, productive. Sunday’s Last Quarter Moon occurs at 12:34 PM in 05’08º Pisces. Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac, and the final sign of water. It symbolizes the completion of the path, coming together as one with the divine. This Last Quarter Moon is just as powerful as the Full Moon as it takes the self-empowerment of Scorpio and gives it back to the whole. This lunation encourages us to use our power and share it, rather than hiding behind our fears. Whatever surfaced during the Full Moon should be used as fuel now. If you need money, this Last Quarter Moon will offer it to you through the service of self or through another. If you are craving love, the Last Quarter Moon will offer it to you through healing and soul realization. No matter your need, there is a solution. Use this energy to find peace in your situation. Use this energy to give back to all.

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.
