May 2023 Horoscopes

Welcome to May 2023 Taureans.

Happy Birthday to you this month and belated wishes to those of you born in late April.

Get ready, as this month sees a significant shift for you. Having ridden the waves of change and being forced to break down outdated ways of being since 2020, this month you’re in for a big boost that will support you through until the end of 2023.

Jupiter, the planet of abundance, optimism and expansion is moving into your sign. This happens once every 12 years. For clues about the kind of impact this might have, think back to late 2011/early 2012 and what was taking place for you then. Similar life areas are up for growth once again.

But before that happens, the start of the month has you between 2 very intense eclipses which are triggering more endings and beginnings in your world. Plus Mercury is traveling retrograde through your sign until May 15 having you review, revise and rethink what you want to achieve in the world. In many ways you’re still making adjustments to the cornerstone foundations of your life.

From May 8, Venus moves into your marketing zone which amps up your charm-factor supporting you to make new business connections and deepen existing ones. This is one of the best months of the year for writing and embracing social media to let others know what you’re up to.

Towards the end of the month Mars changes signs and redirects your energy into your home. Whether you’re entertaining or getting creative at home, the need to have fun and enjoy your down time is strong.

The Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio takes place on May 6. Given it’s attached to the South Node, this signifies potential loss and/or purification. This lunation activates your primary relationships. Expect the unexpected and be open to what you discover. It may be a time to finally let go of a friendship/relationship that you realise is no longer working. Professionally, this can be a time when you see business relationships in a new light and you may not like what you see as much as you once did.

The New Moon in Taurus on May 20 is a powerful time for you to start fresh. Given it’s connected to Jupiter, be sure to make some big wishes for the longer term.

Welcome to May 2023 Geminis.

After a busy, productive and rewarding April (Venus has been bringing love and light to your world), May invites you to have some down time with the Sun travelling through your hidden house of retreat and your ruling planet Mercury in retrograde until May 15. I strongly urge you to rest as much as you can so that when Mercury stations direct and the Sun moves into your Sign on May 21, you’ll have plenty of energy to head out into the world and do your thing!

This month Jupiter, the planet of optimism, growth and abundance is moving signs and enters the hidden realms of your soul’s house. Whilst slowing down is not easy for you as you love nothing better than being out in the world learning, connecting and sharing, the remainder of 2023 invites you to deepen your spiritual practices. The benefits have the potential to transform how you lead, teach and interact for the longer term.

From May 8, Venus moves into your financial sector bringing new opportunities to be recognised for what you do, feel valued and boost your income. Trust your intuition when it comes to money this month. Lady luck is on your side.

The Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio takes place on May 6. Given it’s attached to the South Node, this signifies potential loss and/or purification. This lunation activates your daily routine and health sector. This can bring about unexpected changes to where you work or with work colleagues. It also has the potential to bring to light any underlying health issues. So, if you experience any health niggles, definitely get them checked out immediately.

The New Moon in Taurus on May 20 is a powerful time for you to make wishes to deepen your spiritual connection and take time out to retreat and contemplate the meaning of life.

All of April you had Mars, the planet of instigation, action and independence travelling through your sign activating the need in you to initiate new creative business projects and boost your energy levels. But given your sensitive nature, it’s likely been an emotional month having you explore what you need most to feel nourished, safe and loved.

More than ever, the world needs your inspiration, creativity and sense of fun to help them believe alternative ways of living and working are possible!

Soon after Jupiter activates your career sector, Mars moves into your sign (May 21) delivering a positive boost to your sense of self, energy levels and supports you to get out and be “seen”.

The reason being Jupiter, your ruling planet which brings about expansion, optimism and abundance is taking up residence in your health and daily work sector from May 17 until the end of the year. This marks a shift to improve these areas of your life!

But, before then, we enter May between two incredibly potent change-making eclipses spotlighting your creativity and private spiritual introspection. It’s time to release hiding the truth of who you are from the world and share your innermost fears. The thing is, in doing so, you can inspire others to do the same, creating huge positive uplifts in society. It may be a little scary, yes, but isn’t it worse only partially living your life? I can tell you right now, your soul didn’t choose that for you! It’s time to get brave and do what you’ve come here to do.

Up until May 15, Mercury is retrograde in your health sector which can bring to light underlying health issues. If you have any niggles or unusual pains, don’t hesitate to get things checked out. Equally this is a good period to review your wellness practices. Do you have a solid exercise and mindfulness routine that sustains you? If not, what are you ready to do to change that?

What you may have the opportunity to weave into your daily routine from May 21 onwards is some extra time for professional development or new studies of some kind.

Welcome to May 2023 Capricorns.

The month kicks off with heightened energy as we are between two incredibly potent change-making eclipses. It’s a season for storylines ending and new ones emerging. You are being invited to release connections with groups and communities you no longer feel an authentic connection with. There’s a deepening occurring inside of you and unless others are interested in diving in to explore with you, you may begin to realise that shallow, materialistic based conversations no longer stimulate you the way they once did.

For the first half of the month Mercury is retrograde having you rethink, revise and redo what having fun looks like for you. Are you making time to enjoy yourself? And are you taking time out to engage your creative side? All work and no play comes at a huge cost….. The loss of passion and your life force energy. So this is a great time to reflect on your childhood and recall what used to bring you joy. Go back to the simple things that once brought you huge pleasure. The more fun you’re having, the more you’ll attract new business opportunities. And we know that matters to you ????

On May 17, Jupiter, the planet of expansion, optimism and abundance moves into your romance sector where it will reside until the end of 2023. This supports you to open up your heart, live in the present and feel the joy of being alive. In turn there is an opportunity to experience an upturn in vitality and increase your ability to charm and establish new relations. However, be mindful you’re unlikely to experience the full expanse of the energy until October when both Mars and Venus have departed your assets and investment sector. Until then, you may have to focus on making changes to your money portfolio and put some new fresh plans in place.

All month, your ruling planet Saturn is supporting you to work with your intuition as he continues his journey through Pisces.

Welcome to May 2023 Aquarians.

There’s been a lot going on for you curious, freedom seekers over the last 2 years and we are in the midst of more change right now.

You enter May between two incredibly potent change-making eclipses spotlighting your private home life and your career in equal measure. Endings and new beginnings are occurring simultaneously, triggering you to transform your identity and consider how you want to show up in the world.

For this reason, I invite you to contemplate what storyline/s has/have been loudest for you since March 24. At this time Pluto, the planet of transformation ingressed into your sign. It may not yet be obvious how to answer because Pluto is extremely slow moving and unless you have planets at the earliest degrees of Aquarius, you may not have noticed much change yet. But, for those of you born between January 20, 21 or 22 endings and birthing new things will have been occupying much of your mind. On May 2, Pluto will station and commence his retrograde journey back through your sign until June 11/12 adding more depth to the story. He will then return again in January 2024 for 8 months supporting your personal evolution to ultimately step into your power.

Up until mid May, Mercury is retrograding through your home and family sector. This is the time to revise, rethink and redo that area of life. What matters most to you now? What are your family priorities ? What do you need around you at home to feel safe and nourished? These are great questions to be asking as things are changing. The good news is that on May 17 Jupiter, the planet of expansion, optimism and abundance moves into your family zone giving it a healthy boost. You’ll be able to create anew and expand this part of life through to the end of 2023.

Early in the month your health also gets a boost in vitality when Venus moves into this sector. This can bolster work relations and bring some new professional opportunities for you to consider.

Then at the end of the month, Mars moves into your relationship sector inviting you to consider what you want/need most in personal and professional partnerships. But more of that next month!

The Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio takes place on May 6. Given it’s attached to the South Node, this signifies potential loss and/or purification. This falls in your career sector which can signify the end of a project or contract or leaving a longer term role. If this is the case, whether you choose the change or not is irrelevant. Either way, trust you’re ready for change with more aligned opportunities awaiting.

The New Moon in Taurus on May 20 is a powerful time for you to set family and property goals for the year ahead!

On May 17, Jupiter, the planet of optimism, expansion and abundance is moving into your communication sector to stay for the rest of the year.  This is really powerful for supporting you to grow your market with enticing offers that people need.  Things may start off a little slow due to both Mars and Venus in a harsh aspect to Jupiter until July, but after that, you can readily be found by those who need you most…. You just have to put yourself out there!!

The Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio takes place on May 6.  Given it’s attached to the South Node, this signifies potential loss and / or purification.  Changes are likely around topics including international travel, professional development, spiritual commitment and working with mentors, coaches and professors.
