May 2024: Astrological Overview
Let’s not ignore the obvious – the month kicks off with Pluto going retrograde on May 2. The energy, however, will be more gradually experienced over the five months it’s retrograde, rather than being an intense and sudden event like an eclipse.
During the months of May through October, you will be encouraged to explore your hidden aspects and make necessary adjustments to create a stronger and more empowered path ahead. Now is the moment to delve into the depths of your mind and uncover anything that may hinder your progress and prevent you from reaching your full potential. During this transit that lasts until Oct. 10, you may encounter themes of transformation, rebirth, and the need to let go of certain things in order to pave the way for new opportunities. Keep in mind that Pluto has a way of eliminating anything that hinders you from embracing your true potential.
May 7 will see a celestial convergence as the moon aligns with the sun, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus in Taurus. The Taurus new moon presents a favorable opportunity to sow the seeds of financial growth or embark on endeavors with tangible outcomes. With its fixed earth sign nature, Taurus is deeply rooted in the physical world, focused on practical matters and the reality of things. It’s a time to gather yourself and get organized.
On May 15, Mercury will make its entrance into the sign of the Bull, adding its unique energy to the cosmic gathering. You may find yourself becoming more grounded and taking a more thoughtful approach to your words. It seems that you might be displaying a heightened level of determination and a decreased patience for being hurried. You will approach your thoughts and communication with a practical and straightforward mindset.
On May 18, we can expect a delightful surge of positivity and endless possibilities as Jupiter aligns with the sun in a powerful conjunction. The planet associated with abundance and expansion will align with the sun in the earth sign Taurus, radiating its Venusian energy on everything. Considered a highly auspicious day, indulge in a well-deserved treat, allow yourself some extra rest, and venture beyond your usual boundaries. Embracing boldness can lead to favorable outcomes, especially when the assertive energy of Mars in Aries aligns with the North Node.
As the sun transitions into Gemini on May 20, a shift in energy will bring about a more lighthearted, inquisitive, and playful atmosphere. Embrace your playful side and don’t be too hard on yourself. Now is the perfect moment to embrace curiosity, express your thoughts, and embark on any new venture that sparks your interest, no matter how temporary it may seem.
On the 23rd, the full moon in Sagittarius will inspire deep reflection and contemplation of expansive possibilities. During full moons, there is a focus on illumination and the energy of Sagittarius is known for its spontaneity. It is possible that a surprise may be revealed during this particular lunar event. The overall energy will have a gentle and delightful quality as Venus enters Gemini, coinciding with the full moon and Jupiter’s influence.
In just a few days, on the 25th, Jupiter will also move into the mutable air sign, shining a powerful and positive light on communication, sharing ideas, learning, and exploration. With the recent alignment of Venus and Jupiter in Gemini, there is a surge of curiosity in the air. You might find yourself drawn to engaging with others and exploring the world around you.
During the period until June 2025, you may experience a sense of constant activity and your attention being pulled in various directions. During this period, you might experience a sense of restlessness and find yourself more expressive and busier. It may seem like things are moving at a rapid pace. Whenever Jupiter transitions between signs, it signifies the beginning of a fresh chapter in your life, where you can expect growth and prosperity in a particular aspect.
These transits will have a significant impact on everyone, with a particular emphasis on individuals whose sun, moon, or ascendant sign is in Aquarius. The transformative influence of Pluto retrograde in Aquarius will be especially pronounced for them. Similarly, the convergence of planets in Gemini at the end of the month can greatly influence individuals who have a significant Gemini placement in their birth chart.
