Monthly Horoscope - May 2024

Welcome to the horoscope for May 2024, which tends to be a little milder according to Astrology.

In the first few days of the month, Taurus is the sign that sets the pace for events. Home to the Sun and Venus, it's worth remembering the value of persistence and solidity in order to anchor dreams in more tangible realities.

Halfway through the month, Gemini becomes home to the Sun and Jupiter, bringing new ideas and a different kind of expansion.

Explore the possibilities this month has to offer, remembering that the influences are collective. For a deeper understanding of how they may affect you individually, be sure to check out your Free Personalized Horoscope.

First fortnight

Waning Moon in Aquarius (05/01): we begin the month with the part of the lunar cycle that favours reorganization with a dash of innovation. Use this moment to reflect on how you communicate your ideas.

Pluto Retrograde (05/02 - 10/11): during its retrograde period, Pluto returns for the last time in the 21st century to the sign of Capricorn. Therefore, the start of this retrograde phase of Pluto can bring both news about its new Aquarian season and conclusions about issues we've already been working on for the last 15 years. This transit invites us to a profound review of our internal and external structures. It's worth asking: "What transformations are necessary for my personal and professional growth?". From the point of view of world astrology and the geopolitical context, the clashes between different world views tend to revive discussions that have not yet been finalized but will gain definition and speed at the end of the month, when Pluto is in consonance with Jupiter.

New Moon in Taurus (05/08): marks the culmination of the first fortnight of May's monthly horoscope. The correspondences of the New Moon in Taurus are enhanced by the Sun's meeting with Uranus and Jupiter on the 13th and 18th respectively. There is a practical, original and productive characteristic, which aims for quality over quantity. This is a time to cultivate patience and appreciate gradual growth, like the slow but sure blossoming of a flower in spring. Reflect on what you really value and how you can cultivate more of it in your life.

Second fortnight

Sun in Gemini (05/20): the Sun's entry into Gemini brings an air of lightness and curiosity, interacting with a context of communication and the transmission of information, relevant themes at the moment.

Jupiter in Gemini (05/25): after spending around a year in the sign of Taurus, Jupiter enters the sector of Gemini, inaugurating a new astrological journey. Expect a significant change in mood and the pace at which many things happen, infusing the environment with a breath of intellectual curiosity and an appreciation for connection and communication. This transit can amplify the thirst for knowledge, stimulating conversations, accelerated learning and the exploration of new ideas. This should therefore be a period of intellectual and social expansion and one in which the laws of information transmission come back into question. It's an excellent time to start courses, take part in workshops or simply immerse yourself in books that broadens your mind.

Full Moon in Sagittarius (05/23): this Full Moon inspires a desire for adventure and knowledge. We are invited to diversify our subjects and learn from the new. Use this energy to free yourself from limiting beliefs and embrace new philosophies of life.

Venus in Taurus

As we navigate the characteristics of Taurus and Gemini, we may come across challenges related to the balance between the material and the intellectual. This month, Venus should become "invisible" and combusted by the Sun, which in Astrology is called Venus Cazimi and has its particularities, although not that relevant.

The ability to find satisfaction in simple things can, paradoxically, lead to complacency, in which current comfort delays progress or the exploration of new opportunities.

In addition, the difficulty in committing may be in evidence. Despite influencing stable relationships, the need for security and comfort can make it more difficult to commit fully, for fear of losing independence.

It's a good time to reflect deeply on what we value and how we seek satisfaction in areas related to finances, feelings and beauty.
