As we move out of the inspiring and energetic energies of April, we move into the month of May with flying colors, welcoming new changes, transformations, and chances for renewal. To start, we will be kicking off the month in the balanced and assured sign of the Taurus. Often considered to be the mother of the Zodiac due to their kind, nurturing, and wise nature, the Taurus craves balance in all that they do. They are hardworking, know the importance of creating a good routine, and always approach their goals with a slow but steady pace. For that reason, the signs may also begin to bring these energies into their life this month. From creating a routine for yourself, focusing on small steps for your goals, or even just picking up the pace towards working towards your dreams, this month is all about gaining stability and finding what new direction you may wish to go with it.
Aside from this, May also marks the official start of the eclipse season, which is sure to bring a plethora of new energies into our lives. With so many energetic shake-ups at this time, the signs could find themselves feeling more drained and disoriented. However, all of the changes are likely to help us align with our destined path later on. Aside from this, the planets will also be quite active this month, with Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury as the biggest influences. Jupiter will be lingering in the sign of the Pisces for the beginning of the month, making this an opportunistic time for the signs to seize new opportunities and take a chance. After this, Jupiter will then make its way through the sign of the Aries, pushing hard work, confidence, and a new dynamic in your life as the signs likely begin to feel a little more open-minded in trying new things. We will then welcome our next Mercury retrograde on May 10 in the sign of the Gemini, which is bound to bring some energetic shake-ups in our social lives as well as our communication skills. Lastly, we will then end the month in the sign of the energetic Gemini, pushing our social interactions, lust for adventure, and need for expansion to the extreme.
Overall, May 2022 is predicted to be a productive month of picking up the pace, realigning with what feels authentic, and expanding our horizons in new, empowering ways. But, to give you some deeper insight into what you can expect this month, today, we're going to touch on what energies and changes each Zodiac sign can expect throughout May and how you can adjust your life to make the most of it.
Aries (March 21st - April 19th)
Starting with the Aries, the month of May is likely to highlight many unique changes in your life. From shedding your skin to trying new things, this could have the month feeling a bit up and down for you and may have you going through a few setbacks. As a result, this could be a good month for you to develop a new perspective on your life and try to approach things with a fresh outlook. With patience and a clear head, things are likely to level out later on, but for now, keep your head up, mighty Aries. New things are on the horizon.
In your career, with Jupiter influencing you this month, things in your career are likely to be kept positive, for the most part. For that reason, this could be a month for getting your mojo back in your work, allowing you to move forward with a new ambitious stride which could have you marking things off of our to-do list. Listening to your intuition will also be important this month in terms of new opportunities and finances, so make sure you trust the feelings you get above all else.
In love, love bonds should feel stronger and more close-knit this month. However, that doesn’t mean everything will be problem-free. In fact, the Aries may find themselves in quite a few quarrels this month and will need to focus on keeping communication open to working things through swiftly. For singles, you are likely already in the mood to socialize this month and have a good chance of meeting somebody new while you do so. Channel that fiery Aries confidence and put yourself out there if you want to have the best chance at building new connections.

For the Taurus, a balanced month ahead is predicted for you, mighty Taurus.

For that reason, you could find yourself reconnecting with a lot of family and friends this month, as your personal life likely becomes your focus. However, while things may seem balanced at the moment, changes are certainly all around you at this moment and are likely to become quite clear to you in no time. Don’t be afraid of new opportunities or alternative routes in your life this month, Taurus. It may prove to be for the better. Trust your intuition and allow it to lead the way.
In your career, this might be a good month to pick up the pace in your work life, Taurus. Instead of contemplating future possibilities or stalling progressive movement, follow your heart and don’t be afraid to take a chance with a new opportunity this month. Seek new motivation, work to channel new inspiration, and keep your head up. Changes are likely happening all around you, so get ready to stand up and embrace them.
In love, those in a relationship could experience some new changes in their love life this month. You may find that you two are going through an adjustment period now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad. In fact, this could be a good month for partners to open a new chapter of their life together. More than anything, try to just go with the flow in love this month and not force anything if you want to have your best chance at avoiding issues. For singles, you could find difficulty in achieving the desired results in love this month, but that doesn’t mean you should stop trying. Love always arrives in the most unexpected way, dear Taurus. Keep your heart open, but perhaps focus on other areas of your life right now. This may just be the key to drawing new love in over time.
Gemini (May 21st - June 20th):
For the Gemini, May is likely to be a hodge-podge of energy for you, air sign. While you may be craving new adventures and forward movement, the energy of May could be asking you to slow down and have a little more patience with more of a focus on planning this month. The month may start off a bit slow, but as we approach your birthday season, things are likely to pick up as your mood and energy continue to grow. You may have some new ideas come to you this month as you begin to develop a better grasp on which projects you want to tackle next. All around, this is a good month for planning and getting ready to make some new, carefully calculated decisions for your future, so don’t rush the process of preparing for it.
In your career, expansive Jupiter is likely to hold some influence over your career endeavors this month, pushing a more business-like mindset towards entrepreneurial projects. With luck on your side, this could be a good month for you to expand your horizons and try something new.

In love, for those in a relationship, with all the planning and preparation you’re doing in other areas of your life, this may be a good month for you to focus on planning for your future as well. Whatever you two can dream together, you can do, Gem, so don’t be afraid to share ideas and begin to build realistic steps towards achieving them. For singles, this month is all about taking things slow in love. Try not to rush connections and just take the time to get to know someone or draw something in naturally without force.

Fan of the dilly-dally? Our relationship game is on the starting block for this Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. It’s up to you to surrender to your true love nature to heal a sense of identity OR keep the mask on until the next eclipse season. Let the Nesters unite! You’re not alone, as our collective psyche as a species is going to have this axis eclipsed. Think war & peace, sport & rest, Mars & Venus, Aries & Libra.
What’s under review for this total solar eclipse? The potential balance of our true cardinal fire nature (Aries) coupled with our diplomatic and conditioned peace-at-all-costs (Libra) is up for an overhaul review (oh, is that all…). Why is it more pronounced for us this time around? Because the North Node of the Moon s currently transiting Aries and the collective has Pluto’s ingress to Aquarius supporting evolution at this time: freedom to be. Can’t put it any simpler!
