Your May 2023 Astrological Forecast Is Here

Twists and turns, abound.

We start the month slowly, as is typical of a steady, serene, and stable Taurus Season. This energy is further amplified by Mercury Retrograde. Known for its ability to throw a spanner in the works, Mercury Retrograde really only exists to provide us with the opportunity to go over that which needs further reflection, introspection, and consideration. Taurus energy gives this Retrograde a more lethargic feel, and we are challenged to swim on against what might feel like an undertow. But after a downright explosive Aries Season, there’s nothing wrong with letting ourselves drift backward for a little while, so we can rest. Who knows what we might discover on our second journey downriver?

After the 15th, Mercury Retrograde ends, and we are once again able to move forward. But there’s no hurry. Taurus is here to tell you that everything takes time, and those things done in a rush will invariably need to be done again. The 21st brings the beginning of Gemini Season, and things crank up a notch. Quick thoughts, quick words, quick wit, Gemini is like a hummingbird; distributing information and ideas to every flower it flits to. If Aries exists to ignite our passions and spark ideas, and Taurus builds those ideas into something that lasts, Gemini appears to ensure these ideas are as intelligent, flexible, and collaborative as they can be.

What to Expect in May

May begins with both the Sun and Mercury in steady, serene, and slow-building Taurus. Mercury is in Retrograde from the beginning of the month until the 15th, providing a time of reflection, double-checking, and repetition, especially when it comes to long-term projects, growth, and relationships. Venus begins the month in Gemini, infusing our relationships and money matters with intellectual energy. We can use this to our advantage by researching deeply, communicating clearly, and keeping our wits about us. Mercury Retrograde is a time of review, not of starting new things, so Venus allows us to do our due diligence before taking our next steps. Mars begins the month in Cancer, staying there until the 20th, and we are more motivated than usual to seek safety and security through family or family-like relationships, home, and emotional connections.

The month starts with a bang as Pluto moves into Retrograde within Aquarius on the 1st. While the last month or so has infused the world with regenerative energy and future-forward thinking, now we will be faced with our true intentions and realisations about ourselves as a society. There is a Lunar Eclipse on the 5th in Scorpio, full of intense transformational energy. Now is a time when we will find ourselves released from what no longer serves us, and while this may be shocking and sudden, it will occur in our best interest. On the 7th, Venus moves into Cancer, and we are looking for safety and emotional vulnerability when it comes to relationships, financial matters, and creative projects.

The 15th signals the end of Mercury in Retrograde, and we can slowly begin acting on decisions made over the last two weeks. These changes must be made with a steady hand, and as long as we are practical and calm, we can be confident we are moving in the right direction. On the 16th, the first movement in years of Jupiter into Taurus occurs. This is the beginning of a time where abundance and good fortune can be found through slow and steady progress, taking our time, and making tangible movements toward our goals.

There is a New Moon in Taurus on the 19th of May, a lunation filled with possibilities and perfect for beginning new long-term projects and relationships. On the 20th, Mars moves into Leo and we are motivated to express ourselves authentically through performance, creativity, love, warmth, generosity, and light. Finally, the 20th marks the beginning of the Gemini Season, and our intellectual, social, and cognitive energy is amped up to a thousand. This is a period of connection, new ideas, socialising and sheer wit.

What This Means for Your Zodiac Sign

Aries

Affirmation: The most powerful version of me requires rest

This is a time for seeking shelter, respite, and gathering strength before continuing on your way. The month begins with your financial, physical, and security-based long-term goals winding down somewhat, and you are being urged to look over where you are, what you’ve done, and where you’re planning on going. There’s an intellectual aspect to this energy, and it’s important to clarify any miscommunications, detailed plans, and ideas. Measure twice, cut once, as they say. From the 7th, you seek security and safety through your relationships, money, and creative pursuits. It’s a good time to seek sanctuary in these areas. When Mercury moves out of Retrograde on the 15th, you are given the green light to move ahead with those plans you’ve paused, so long as you have made the necessary changes. On the 20th, you are well placed to action creative, expressive, or passionate projects, as you simply can’t help but shine. You can say what you feel, negotiate seamlessly, and perform confidently throughout the rest of May.

Taurus

Affirmation: The deeper I go within, the taller I grow without

The roots you put down now will allow you to grow tall, drink deep, and withstand any storm. Your goals, dreams, and priorities are due for realignment as you consider your wants, needs, strengths, and that which you still have to learn. Honest communication, detailed planning, and steady work are needed now. From the 7th, you have the power to connect with those you love with emotional depth, and by providing and receiving security. The 15th provides the perfect energy to put your long-held plans and grand goals in motion, but do so slowly, building each step upon a solid foundation. When Mars moves into Leo on the 20th, you are more likely to seek out comfort and security. You may do so by committing yourself to another, doing things you are good at, and surrounding yourself with affectionate loved ones. For the rest of the month, use your wits, networks, and social skills to add building blocks to your slow yet inevitable empire.

Gemini

Affirmation: The wounded version of me deserves my time, comfort, and love

You are undergoing a rebirth; your mind, thoughts, ideas, and perspectives change quickly as you step into a new level of understanding. May begins quietly, and with time to rest, reflect and go within. You may find yourself meditating on what you believe, faced with deeper wounds, and in a space where healing can no longer be postponed. From the 7th, financial abundance and romantic security can be found, but new beginnings should be postponed when possible. The time to act with the information you have gathered, the wisdom you’ve learned, and the energy you’ve conserved is beyond the 15th; when spiritual and healing power is strong within you. Beyond the 20th, your social powers return, and you are motivated to share your light, create imaginatively and speak with love like never before. The 21st brings you even more power as Gemini Season begins, bringing with it lightness, humour, intelligence, and connection.

Cancer

Affirmation: When I am secure exactly where I am, I am secure always

Money is an important focus for you this month, and so are relationships. The month starts with steady and confident energy infusing your social life, connections with the community, and hopes for the future. Your relationships and finances are also causing you to think about what’s working for you, requiring you to seek out information, communication, and clarity in both these areas. After the 7th, however, love and money come into focus even more sharply, and you are attracted to people and projects that are safe, secure, and supportive of your personal growth. When Mercury leaves Retrograde on the 15th, you can begin to activate the intentions you have been reflecting on, especially those to do with friendships, groups you belong to and your future. The 20th brings about even more motivation to seek security, especially by way of possessions, money and health. The way to activate these desires is through your creativity, leadership qualities, and paradoxically, generosity. The more you feel safe to give, the more you are likely to receive.

Leo

Affirmation: I am exactly where I need to be right now

This is a month for thinking about what you want to be, and how you plan to get there. The start of the month will have you thinking about your long-term goals, especially when it comes to your career. Now may be a time when you are questioning your current path, or perhaps are required to revisit some part of your journey you thought you were done with. Beyond the 7th, your approach to love, finances, and creativity will be coloured by a deep need for safety, spirituality, and even solitude. This is a time when you may spend a lot of time at home, resting and healing rather than dating or working on group projects. From the 15th, you are free to action any decisions you made about your current career path, and it’s a good time to advance your career in general. On the 20th, your motivation is set ablaze by Mars moving into Leo. You are positioned perfectly to action your desires while playing to your strengths; confidence, creativity, and warmth.

Virgo

Affirmation: Every day I expand my comfort zone

May is pulling your expansion into focus, asking you where you plan to grow next. The month begins with a need to reflect on your learning, travel, and development. Are you on the right path, or are you simply heading in the direction you feel you should? When the 7th arrives, love, money, and creative inspiration are found in your friendships or friendship-like bonds, community, and social groups. When Mercury leaves Retrograde on the 15th, it is a great time to begin planning and actioning your next moves, especially when it comes to expanding your horizons. Overseas travel, higher education, new experiences, and things that push you out of your comfort zone are all well suited to this period. Just ensure you take your time and stay grounded. From the 20th, you are motivated by a need to rest, reflect and heal. If you have been neglecting your spirituality, time to yourself or messages sent by your subconscious now is the time to nurture them. Being creative, cared for, and working with your shadow are all well suited to this time.

Libra

Affirmation: Everything is unfolding as it should

This month is all about transformation and power. May begins by asking you to reflect on matters you may usually avoid, whether it is intimacy, shared finances, loss, or mental health. If there is an area that is out of balance, now is a time when it will surface. Take your time when dealing with these issues, spend time in nature, and trust yourself. From the 7th, it’s an abundant time for wealth and relationships. While this is not a great time for new beginnings in these areas, it’s perfectly suited for enjoying what you have, building security, and tapping into your deeper emotions. From the 15th, you can move past any blockages the first half of the month brought on, and you can confidently step into your power, taking slow and steady steps toward what you want. The 20th brings about the inspiration to expand your world socially. You can activate this desire by making new friends, joining social groups, or participating in community events; recreations that require performance, creativity, generosity, and human connection are all perfectly suited for this.

Affirmation: When I am vulnerable, I show myself I am worthy of unconditional love

Love is on your mind this month. May begins with a time of contemplation, especially when it comes to partnerships, relationships, and other forms of long-term commitment. Whether your connections are well suited for the long haul, whether you feel secure within them, and whether you can compromise are all topics that may come up now. The 7th brings more focus to love, this time in the area of growth. For you, true expansion is not from outward growth but internal; whether you can be vulnerable with the ones you love. The safety you crave through isolation and the desire to control is in actuality found when you can show your true self to those you love and be accepted fully and without conditions. From the 15th, if you have made decisions about your current romantic state, now is when you can safely action them.

Sagittarius

Affirmation: I care for myself on every level

This month is all about the details for you. If there are areas in your life you’ve been neglecting instead of “the big picture”, now is when they will emerge. The small details add up over time. Health, organisation, and daily routines are all topics that can emerge now, and it’s the ideal time to consider what needs to change if something isn’t working. From the 7th, your love life, finances, and creative projects can also be up for an overhaul, as things shift to make way for new growth. Beyond the 15th, any decisions you’ve made for change over the last two weeks can begin to be put into motion. It is important to do so slowly, however, and ensure that any changes are practical and realistic. From the 20th onwards, your motivation for personal growth is amplified, and you’ll be motivated to learn, travel, expand your horizons, and try new things. Lean into your fiery passion, follow your heart, and take your place in the world.

Capricorn

Affirmation: I spend my time in places and with people who encourage my most authentic self

What makes you happy, Capricorn? This month asks you that very question. You are tasked with deciding what it is that excites, inspires, and invigorates you at the beginning of this month. You are then asked what you can do to incorporate more of that into your life. If things are holding you in uncomfortable places, people that cause you to shrink yourself or circumstances that blunt or limit your creativity, now is when they may reach a breaking point. The 7th brings about increased love energy, and you are looking for safety, security, and emotional vulnerability when it comes to romance and finance. From the 15th, you can begin ushering in new things, people, and intentions that support your happiness, authenticity, and creativity. The 20th brings in a surge of power for you, and you are likely to feel even more inspired to be yourself and be happy, making ruthless decisions if need be.

Aquarius

Affirmation: My home is a sanctuary, and my family makes me feel safe

Family is coming into focus for you this month. You begin May with cause for reflection when it comes to your home life and familial relationships. Any communication, living, or household issues that have been bothering you or the people around you are likely to come to a head now. It’s also a time for considering whether you are happy with the current state of your home, family, and self-care. The 7th brings even more focus onto these themes. You may begin considering how your current or potentially romantic relationships, finances, and creative projects figure into your daily life, habits, and even health. Decisions about children and property may also be made now. The 15th brings an end to Mercury Retrograde and this creates a good time to start putting in place any changes you have been considering over the last couple of weeks. If this is the case, remember to do so kindly, at a reasonable pace, and with firm boundaries.

Pisces

Affirmation: I share my thoughts honestly and kindly

This month is all about communication for you. May begins with a focus on familiar life, the sharing of information and thought processes, and questions whether these themes are acceptable and sustainable. If there have been miscommunications, negative thought patterns, or harmful habits you haven’t been able to shake, now is when they will come to the surface of your awareness. And, most likely in ways you can’t ignore. The 7th brings further attention to your general happiness, and whether your current relationships, financial situation, or creative projects are making you satisfied. This may be a time when security and emotional connection bring you the most joy. The 15th signals the beginning of a new start, and you are urged to have important conversations, work to change your thought processes with therapy, journaling, or some other kind of therapeutic support, and begin new daily processes that support your overall well-being. Now is a time to stand your ground, fairly and with kindness. You work slowly and steadily toward the future you want.

Your September 2023 Astrological Forecast Is Here 

Virgo month indulges your inner you.

September brings the energy of Virgo’s inner wisdom that can take care of others and themselves simultaneously. This delicate balance requires juggling routines, awareness of needs, and consistent boundary setting. You are being slowed down to look at your place in the system. With the end of the month turning into Libra season, this is the energy of the hermit turning outwards, like a movie scene, where the main character gets a makeover and shift in perspective. You’re building a new you this Virgo Season that can take over the world. And, you look good whilst doing so! This is all about finding yourself and celebrating who you are!

What to Expect This Month of September

The month will start with a New Moon in Aries, bringing forward fast energy. Aries is the sign of leadership, war, and passion, so we’ll connect with a deeper understanding of our intentions as we try to build ahead. On September 3, Venus will go direct, bringing peace back into our relationships and allowing us to enjoy what the retrograde took out. This is the energy of trusting ourselves to build a world of beauty and wealth we aspire to live in. Here we lean into the harmony of what we love and what it can teach us. Then one day later, on September 4th, Jupiter goes retrograde. This energy brings our sense of philosophy and our abundance into a state of stagnancy. Then in the middle of the month, on September 15, Mercury will go direct, bringing all communication back into order. This is the time to be directly vocal about the boundaries you wish to put out that will help you meet your needs first and then those of others. This is the energy of wielding your power and using it for growth. The Sun shifts into Libra, bringing the focus back to self, but in an external way. The way you present yourself to the world will be put into focus. Partnerships, personal style, and expression are either scrutinised or celebrated during this time. Make good use of your decisions, so you can enjoy what you embody.

Aries

Affirmation: I choose to direct my energy and my attention.

Aries, this month you will be learning to temper how much you interfere in the events happening around you. You are being asked to explore how much of your energy only heightens conflict in situations that are progressing independently. You are being pushed into either slowing down or being confronted with situations that will have you delving into past wounds. Take this time to tend to old hurts and grievances with compassion. You are getting a chance to acknowledge all parts of yourself. The month will be filled with a lot of energy, healing and learning, so be ready to feel like you’ve ended a chapter of your life in the last few days of September! Here you are embracing your full authenticity.
