MONTH OF May
Regroup and revamp, Libra! While you’d normally be first in line to celebrate the world’s gradually increasing ability to safely mingle and socialize, your focus remains much closer to home until May 20. After that, the skies serve up a burst of hope, fresh ideas and an overall sense of inspiring possibilities. That’s more like it! Even though you might be ready to shout your message from the rooftops, hold off on the email blasts and press releases. The month ends with a signal-scrambling Mercury retrograde, which arrives on the heels of a game-changing lunar eclipse. Work behind the scenes and get your plans and platform rock-solid, then save your debut for closer to the end of June.
The Sun is in Taurus until May 20
With the Sun in traditional Taurus and your transformational, private and intimate eighth house until Thursday, May 20, you’ll be in the mood to hunker down and take a little time off the grid. Are you due for any important discussions about intimacy, shared finances or a joint venture of some kind?
Don’t skim the surface or worry about upsetting people, Libra. You need to air and share all your concerns now. If you have questions, ask them. There’s nothing worse than moving into something binding without having the full slate of information. Summon the courage to speak up. By doing so, you’ll build the trust and safety that can keep things growing for the long haul—to everyone’s benefit!
If you have a project that needs your total attention, use this focused three-week period to hang the “do not disturb” sign and finish it up. Not only will it be a psychological relief, but you’ll have space to enjoy the adventurous four-week cycle that will start on May 20. Tune out distractions, go into tunnel vision mode and get it done.
An intimate relationship could be transformed by your willingness to get raw and vulnerable now, too. And since the eighth house rules sensuality and eroticism, your rewards could be thoroughly enjoyable!
Go deeper at the May 11 Taurus new moon
On Tuesday, May 11, the year’s only new moon in Taurus sets the stage for heightened intimacy or a joint venture. Thinking of a joint business venture or making a relationship official? Anything you begin now will unfold over the next six months, culminating at the Taurus full moon on November 19.
Your efforts today take on special importance because that November full moon will also be a powerful lunar eclipse. You could see a major payoff, perhaps in a bonus, commission or large lump sum. Fair warning: If you gamble on anything too risky, it could cost you—so invest wisely or at least, have a contingency plan!
If you’re considering crypto or looking to purchase a home, for example, conduct lots of due diligence and take your time. You might even want to wait to take concrete action until the end of the year, as eclipses shake things up and reveal hidden information.
Jupiter takes a sabbatical in Pisces from May 13 to July 28
Cleanup time doesn’t have to be a chore, Libra. When optimistic Jupiter enters creative Pisces and your sixth house of work and health routines for a two-and-a-half month visit on Thursday, May 13, you’ll be inspired to tackle the nuts and bolts of your life with renewed vigor.
From outsourcing work to a specialist to acquiring a new skill set to revamping your digestive health, info-hungry Jupiter sparks a thirst for knowledge. The global planet could connect you to far-flung teachers, helpers and experiences. Whether distance learning to a pandemic-proof yoga retreat at a detox spa, you’ll have an appetite for self-improvement projects with a pleasurable twist.
Pay attention because this is a sneak preview of a longer trend starting at the end of the year that promises to completely revamp the ways you work and take care of yourself.
Jupiter typically moves into a new zodiac sign once a year. But in 2021, Jupiter will make a short dip into Pisces, back into Aquarius on July 28 then returns to Pisces again for a longer stay on December 28, hanging out here until May 10, 2022. Get those healthy habits in place and start implementing efficient systems that create MORE freedom—your ultimate goal!
Gemini Season begins on May 20
When Gemini season starts on Thursday, May 20, the Sun will heat up your ninth house of inspiration and exploration zone for one ebullient, adventure-packed month. You’ll feel ready to emerge from your focused cocoon and explore the wider world.
Aren’t you glad you focused earlier this month and tackled those nagging details? If you handled that round of business, you should be able to branch out now, perhaps even slip away for a safe vacation or resume a passion project.
During this outspoken and visionary time, you’re invited to speak from the heart, share your big ideas and look beyond your current limitations for new ventures. Media, higher education and entrepreneurship are all favored for you while the Sun’s in Gemini. Look for platforms and partners who can help bring your brilliant concepts to a wider audience, perhaps turning them into an indie business.
Saturn turns retrograde from May 23 to October 10
Pace yourself before you go flying off on your latest adventure, Libra. This year has been full of passion and full-bodied experiences for many Libras, thanks to both Jupiter and Saturn visiting Aquarius and your expressive fifth house since late December.
When restrictive Saturn turns retrograde on Sunday May 23, you may feel like stepping back from a romantic situation or letting some drama cool down. Feeling off-balance from too much attention or time in the spotlight? Take a little time away from the camera to polish up your act. If you’re working on debuting one of your talents, Saturn retrograde is a great time to tap a supportive coach or mentor to fine-tune your act as the ringed planet rules seasoned experts. Swallow your pride and learn from a master, even if they dish out tough love.
Eclipse season begins on May 26 with the Sagittarius lunar full supermoon

Exciting news could arrive before theclass=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” month ends, when the Sagittarius lunar class=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” eclipse ripples across your communication axis on Wednesday, May 26. This full supermoon could bring an exciting offer to team up on a project or to teach and write about what you know.
Hidden information could come to light that provides the missing link, or you could get a long-awaited answer. Keep your devices charged and an eye on your texts and DMs. Eclipses bring unexpected events, and a full moon one can deliver finality or a turning point.

Look back to December 14, 2020, when the corresponding Sagittarius new moon, which was also an eclipse, set the stage for what may come to fruition now.
Mclass=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” ercury spins retrograde in Gemini from May 29 to June 22
Watch what you say, Libra! With messenger Mercury turning retrograde in Gemini starting on Saturday, May 29, your outspoken ninth house will be impacted by this signal-scrambling backspin.
Back up your data and devices before the retrograde begins as Mercury’s mischief can cause you to lose important information. Hold off on any splashy debuts until the retrograde ends. Strong opinions? Save your candid comments for later next month and think twice before you press “post” or “publish.” Your bold statements could be mistakenly interpreted as obnoxious or offensive.
Venus smolders in Taurus until May 8
Passion and intrigue are the order of the day until May 8 as romantic Venus wraps a visit to Taurus and your intimate eighth house that began on April 14. If you aren’t feeling sensual and spring-awakened, do things to get back in touch with your body, especially after a long pandemic winter.
Gentle movement, hip circles and dance will get your mojo flowing. Refresh your lingerie drawer or wear things that make you feel sexy in your skin. The Venus-Pluto trine on May 6 could bring a mind-body-soul connection or an intimate moment with someone. Letting down your guard makes you feel closer and more trusting with the right person. This is also a good day for some soul-baring talk about your perspectives on family, children or living together.
Mars is in Cancer all month

Venus in Gemini finds you dreaming of people and places beyond the familiar. You could find someone to blissfully share these new horizons with you on May 19, when Venus forms a harmonious trine to serious Saturn in your love zone. Who says you can’t have a long-term commitment AND butterflies? The Venus-Saturn trine reminds you that it’s possible to enjoy both with one person. Small steps and gestures DO make a big difference.
Try doing one thoughtful or loving thing today for your partner. If you’re single, take one action that puts you in a romantic state of mind: walking a little slower, savoring your food, playing music while you fold laundry. Create the energy of love and excitement and you’ll draw experiences into your field that match this vibration.
Investments and shared financial matters are a key focus throughout May as the Sun visits Taurus and your joint-venture zone until May 20, set off by a powerful Taurus new moon here on May 11. Could your projects go further if you merged with someone else for a win-win? Explore the options today.

As these bold beams sweep through your communication zone, put out a powerful message or send an email blast that draws unexpected success. An opportunity to collaborate with a synergistic person could arise out of the blue. But don’t rush to join forces, no matter how excited you are.
