Zoe Moon Astrology MAY MONTHLY Horoscopes
Happy May everybody! We start the month with Pluto stationed (stopped in the astrological sky) in preparation for his Retrograde that commences on the 4th. So, when it comes to loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, or any other type of financial resources, as well as anything sexual, reproductive, about mortality, divorce, power, or third-party situations, we are at a standstill and then as the Retrograde commences we are taking a deep breath, taking a break, and then if needed, heading back to the drawing board to reassess, release or rework something here from May 4th through Oct 13th. This may play out online, with friends or associates, through clubs or organizations, in groups, with aspirations, around freedoms, aspirations or original projects, or at gatherings over these months. We are in a do-over regarding what changes have occurred here. For some it may be a time to return to the past, for others to take a break and reassess, and for others time to review what has been going on and fix something. Watch the days around the 4th for clues as to where it may focus first for you.
We also head into May with a New Moon already in play in the sign Taurus. This began on April 27th and holds sway until May 12th with the strongest part of the energy at the beginning of the New Moon period and it getting a bit weaker the further out it goes. So, we want to be conscious of the fact that we now have more potential to start something new or take our current scenarios into what comes next regarding income, purchases, our possessions, products, values, the things we are building, or our pleasures. This New Moon was wedged between the Mars/Pluto opposition so there is an obstacle to overcome as we launch forward or a choice to be made one way or the other, (no more vacillating). The New Moon is also tied to brilliant, innovative Uranus adding fresh-start energy to our potential to earn, purchase, build, or get busy with our possessions or products. He may help us reinvent something or bring something original, social or online into the story. By the 10th of May Mercury moves into this same territory and will tour here until the 25th. This will give us the added benefit of getting us into talks or meetings, sales or agreements, writing, pitching of ideas, interviews, or auditions, offers or decisions, or any short trips, moves or local activities that move the ball forward with the income, purchases, possessions, or products. It also has the effect of slowing down our mental process (although it is still lit up with activity) and getting us to think about the things that bring pleasure to our lives or how we might like to build something so make the most of it!
Between the 6th and 7th Mercury will merge energy with Chiron in Aries. These couple days are likely to bring up memories of when we were vulnerable or hurt or they may get us thinking about how we might have hurt someone else. It is going to give us the chance to talk or meet about it, write it down or make a choice about it, or to hear from others about it, with a focus on how we might bring some healing to the situation. If someone randomly hurts you with words over these two days it may be an unconscious reaction to this energy combo. It may be a good time to write a sincere apology or to list your personal vulnerabilities or wounds and what you would like to do to start the healing process. It may also call upon some to step forward as a spiritual guru teacher/healer to help someone else due to having experienced a similar pain that this person is going through. Finally, do be cautious on the road during these 2 days as it could bring issues with vehicles.
We have a Full Moon in Scorpio that culminates at 12:56pm Eastern on the 12th. This means in the days leading up to this and especially on the 12th we have something building and then climaxing with a loan, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, alimony, child support, a partners money, settlement, bankruptcy, or other financial matter, a sexual attraction, a sexual issue, a reproductive need, a hormonal situation, a birth, a death, a divorce, our power, any jealousy, a control issue, something criminal, something buried, what we are purging, what is changing, or how we are evolving and transforming. Things are emotionally intense as we reach a goal, mark an ending, wrap up what we’ve been doing, celebrate a highpoint, or have a breakthrough in one or more of these areas of life. Remember that Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, just began his Retrograde through Aquarius so there may be something involving this do-over with the past or an ongoing story at this climax and it could also involve friends, freedoms, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, aspirations, an Aquarius, or gatherings that we are revisiting, releasing or reworking that plays into what is peaking with the Scorpio Full Moon.
Venus put us through a long Retrograde from March 1st through April 12th during which time we had to slow down and either revisit the past, rework the current, exit something, let go of something, or reassess what was going on with her influences of love, income, women, beauty, and pleasure. Why bring it up now? Well, on the 16th Venus finally passes her Shadow which means she is free in her forward motion from addressing whatever pulled her back to the past, or went away, or needed reworking when it came to love or money, women, beauty or pleasure and what was needed involving personal needs, identity, or presence in the story. We now move into new horizons with these topics as we redefine our needs or involvement with them now through June 6th.
On the 20th the Sun moves into Gemini where he will tour for the next 30 days. This puts a spotlight on our mind, our talks and meetings, any writing, negotiating or ideas, our sales, siblings or neighbors, our short trips, moves or local activities, our vehicles, electronics, or decisions. It asks us to show up, get more personally or physically involved, pursue our interests, stand out, and lead ourselves forward here regarding our own interests in the mix. By the 25th Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, moves into this sign and will tour here until June 8th. This quickens the pace, brings a livelier mindset, helps us multitask or juggle, lean on our diplomacy, learn a bit about just about everything, and perhaps have a flirt or two. Finally, by the 26th we have a New Moon in Gemini. This kicks in at 11:02pm Eastern and will be in play for 2 weeks. It brings a nice cosmic boost to what we are doing and should help us launch into anything new with these themes or to take our current interests into what comes next. So be proactive about talks, meetings, sales, and writing, any interviews or auditions, your offers or decisions, as well as with what you are going for with a brother, sister, neighbor, move, local activity, short trip, the vehicles, or electronics.
Now for the BIG energy shift this month. On the 24th, at 11:35pm Eastern, Saturn moves into Aries. The last time Saturn toured Aries was between April 1996 and March 1999. Think back, what was going on with you as an individual? What ambitions were you pursuing for yourself? What part of who you were had ended so that the 'new you' could get underway during this period? Was there anything significant going on with your body, image, brand, name, title, or needs then that allowed you to commit to something long term, end anything no longer working, put in time and effort, get involved with someone in a position of authority, pursue career objectives via image, brand or involvement, and resolve to reach a goal? Want another example? Saturn toured Aries from March of 1967-April 1969, was anything going on then for you? I feel certain we could think of a few examples regarding the world at large during these periods. Well, we are back in it, time to get more serious about ourselves and what we need on a personal or physical level. Saturn will tour Aries from May 24th until Sept 1st this year and then return to Aries again on Feb 14th, 2026 through April 13, 2028. Some other things to note about Saturn in Aries. Aries rules the head, the blood, our passions, our anger, the military, battles, the police, and weapons. Saturn can bring authorities into the story, it can bring restrictions, limits, rules, timeframes, calcification, constriction, goals, and solidifying of things in these arenas. Saturn is ‘get real’, ‘it’s serious’, and final. He rewards persistence, consistency, and effort over time. Also note that Saturn is in his fall in Aries, a place he is not the happiest to be. Let’s face it, Saturn is father time, he is the authority, building things brick by brick, while Aries is the youth of the zodiac, impulsive, jumping in and figuring things out later, so the two having to work together is always interesting. So, in the beginning we may feel a push/pull between wanting to be our youthful inner child and wanting to lead ourselves through personal mastery. It can bring great long-term outcomes to the things we are passionate about once we figure out how to best work with this combination so take your time and be aware of the shift here and watch what this preview this year, now through Sept 1st, brings as you feel it in your body, with your image, brand, name, title, involvement in things you are serious about, and look at what you want to end and what your commitments, dedication and time can bring long term.
