MAY IS CALLING FOR EXPANSION AND ABUNDANCE

May is calling for expansion. This is an incredibly lucky month, and one that can see you coming face-to-face with your own limitations in the process. Cosmically speaking this month is calling for you to travel (be that physically or within yourself by asking some pretty profound questions about your own existence), to adopt a beginner’s mind and to see everyone around you as your teacher. The start of this month offers incredibly grounded energy, which can provide a much needed sense of security in and amongst the greater collective shifts we are experiencing.  

 Keep reading below for how this month’s energy will affect you. Read for your ascendent (if you know it) or your sun sign if you’re unsure.

Aries: March 21 – April 19

With your Ruling planet (Mars) at home in Aries, it can feel like life is on fire in the best of ways. This is an energy that will be taking you through to the 10th of June. So, if you need an extra boost of energy or motivation to move forward this is the time to act. The 7th-8th of May bring with it the Taurus New Moon which is kicking off a new cycle for you in how you handle money, possessions, and your own sense of worth. If you’ve been feeling lack in this part of your life, harness this New Moon to help you. As the Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th of May, you can notice yourself feeling the need to talk everything through with those around you and even to partake in a little more social activities that you would normally be able to handle (energetically). This month finishes with two big events. The first is the Full Moon in Sagittarius, which will be the luckiest Moon of the year for you. It can see you travelling long-distance, stepping into new studies or connecting with your spirituality in a new way. Know that it will challenge you to embrace a greater sense of abundance (so the energy is lucky but not necessarily ‘easy’). The other very auspicious event will be Jupiter entering Gemini on the 26th of May (where he will stay until mid 2025). This marks a time to realise the power of your words and ideas. Seeing where these have the opportunity to limit and expand your world simply through the intention of their vibration.

Taurus: April 20 – May 20.

Your birthday month continues until the 20th of May. So, take a moment while the Sun and your ruling planet Venus are in Taurus to bask in good food, romance, and the finer things in life. In fact, up until the 24th of May you can find yourself feeling incredibly grounded, trusting, and supported (even if the external world is trying to shake things up). The New Moon on the 7-8th of May in your sign is offering you a place to lay intentions for new beginnings. Consider what you want to embrace more of in life, what you are ready to release and where you are ready to understand more of your worthiness (particularly if this is something you struggle with). As Mercury enters Taurus on the 16th of May this is the perfect time for important conversations where you need to express your values, talk about money, or simply ground what has been floating in the air since the beginning of the year. The Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th of May shift your attention towards your finances and your possessions. This is a season to be flexible with money, and empathetic towards other’s values (particularly when they differ from your own). The Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 23rd of May offers incredible transformation and rebirth. You can find it stirs up old familial and karmic programming around lack and restriction – asking for this to be witnessed and released. Finally as Jupiter enters Gemini on the 26th of May (where it will remain until mid 2025) it is cracking you open to greater financial independence, exploration of your relationship with money and learning about the importance of honouring your own value.

 

Gemini: May 21 – June 20.

The start of May is one focused on endings, and releasing energy that won’t serve you when you step into your birthday season on the 20th of May. The Taurus New Moon on the 7-8th is encouraging you to get really clear on ancestral programming around money (that is not serving you) as well as helping to shed awareness upon the places where you systematically undervalue yourself (including where you believe you are not worthy of the divine). As your ruling planet, Mercury, enters Taurus on the 16th you can find there are important conversations you need to have that end old relationships and agreements which were founded in an energy of undervaluing yourself. Even though there can be some grief and sense of loss that comes to the surface with these endings, they are for your ultimate good and will free you up to create from a place of greater equality (not subservience). As the Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th (in alignment with Jupiter), you are called to begin again and to open yourself up to a bigger assignment from the universe over the coming year. You’ll feel this even more acutely when Jupiter enters Gemini on the 26th of May. This marks the start of a year where you will be called to travel, to explore and be a little more optimistic about the world. It can also see you stepping into the role of spiritual pilgrim, opening yourself up to deeper teachings about the metaphysical world or travelling to sacred sites. The month finishes with a Sagittarius Full Moon on the 23rd, which will bring to light expansive energy around business partnerships and love. It is calling for you to let go of the some of the lack and fear you hold around love.

 

Cancer: June 21 – July 22.

May is a time for friendships, for expanding your social circles and getting a little bit more comfortable with trusting others. Something that is a lifelong pursuit for a Cancer. With a lot of the Cosmic Energy focused in Taurus, you can find that you finally feel at ease with social relationships and sense a grounded-ness + security in these connections. The Taurus New Moon on the 7-8th is calling for you to open up a new chapter in this area of your life. So, if you’re ready to call in new soul connections or even step away from friendships that feel hard to maintain, then use this Moon to aid you. The 19th of May offers you a very special day for soul mates and soul family connections. You can meet new friends, and even expand your very tight knit circle in ways you didn’t think you would ever do – making you look more and more like a socialite (even if that label doesn’t ring true for you). As the Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th of May it is calling for you to remember your connection to the divine. You can find that your nights are filled with prophetic dreams, and your own channelling abilities feel stronger. This will be heightened further when Jupiter enters Gemini on the 26th of May. You can even find around this time you encounter new spiritual teachers or wisdom that builds upon your own path. This month finishes with the Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 23rd, which is bringing your attention to your wellbeing. It is bringing to a close 18 months of intense energy related to your health (physical or mental) and in the process calling for you to start to feel a greater capacity to serve the world around you (without burning out).

 

Leo: July 23 – August 22

There is a big focus for you this month on structure, order, and responsibility. You can find this playing out through your work and career. There is the potential for great change in this area of your life now (even to realise your dreams), if you’re willing to listen to your intuition and not rely too heavily on the rational mind with its limited sense of what is possible. As the Taurus New Moon peaks on the 7-8th, it is here for you to sew new seeds when it comes to this area of your life. It offers a friendly hand of support for you in realising greater material success in your work over the coming 6 months. You can find there are unexpected shifts within your place of work around the 13th of May, so do you best to be flexible and trust that these will ultimately be for the best. As the Sun enters Gemini on the 20th of May, your energy will be pulled from work towards friendships + social engagements. You can find that this is a month where you are called to be a little more social and conversational than you have been so far this year. If you’ve been struggling to find your tribe, then things will start looking up from the 26th when Jupiter enters Gemini (where he will remain until mid 2025). This month finishes with a Sagittarius Full Moon which is playful, creative and calling for romance. This is a Moon that has you feel at home within yourself and allows you to shine a little more brightly.

 

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

As you enter May it can feel incredibly expansive, and a little uncomfortable. As this cosmic weather is calling for you to allow yourself to receive, to be open to greater abundance and to step beyond the limitations you hold with money + the material realm. The Taurus New Moon on the 7-8th offers you a time and place to lay intentions around this abundance as well as ask for help in removing obstacles to realising your self-worth. As your ruling planet, Mercury, enters Taurus on the 16th you can receive incredible news or be privy to conversations where you are called to travel, to study something new or even step into role as teacher (formally or informally). Whatever comes don’t overthink it, rather surrender to the opportunity the universe is presenting you. The Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th and shifts your focus to work and responsibility. This marks a month where you will have important conversations around your career or are called to use your words within your job in way that creates lasting change for others.

This marks a year of incredible expansion and growth within your career – you can find yourself travelling, mentoring and stepping into greater wisdom with what you offer + how you serve the world.

 

Libra: September 23 – October 22

The transformation that started late last month continues into May as you are called to dive deep into ancestral programming around lack, financial insecurity, and your own sense of worthiness. This is a season that is shedding light upon what you have hidden from yourself and offers you the grace to see where you sabotage relationships and material success through this programming. The New Moon in Taurus on the 7-8th is here as a divine guide to help you work through this energy. If you’re ready to move beyond the plays of power and control (particularly around money) that you have ingested from your upbringing, use this Moon to help you. With your ruling planet (Venus) in Taurus until the 24th you can also find this energy of worthiness manifesting in your intimate relationship. So play close attention to where you are feeling not enough or playing games with your partner to boost your sense of esteem. As the Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th the energy starts to ease up and it can like the abundance you have been searching for is right in front of you. This is a season that can see you travelling, studying and using your voice to impart wisdom. The Sagittarius Full Moon on the 23rd of May adds to this sense of expansion, and wraps up an 18 month lunar cycle that has had you learning about the way your words inform your reality (and even limit it). This Full Moon can see you travelling domestically, connecting siblings and having mind blowing conversations. This month finishes with Jupiter entering Gemini (where he will remain until mid-2025). This placement is expansive, abundant and will push you beyond your limitations to really understand what you are capable of.

 

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

While the Sun is in Taurus (20th of April – 20th of May) the universe is calling for you to mediate between giving + receiving and get really conscious of where your self-worth needs rebuilding on the back of relationship challenges. The New Moon on the 7-8th (in Taurus) is here as a divine companion to help you. If you’ve been struggling with a business partnership, an intimate relationship or your own sense of value, call upon the divine at this time to intercede and support you in moving forward. Your ruling planet, Pluto will station retrograde on the 3rd of May (until the 12th of October) as such this is a time of going within, slowing down, and starting to see how the problems you believe you have outside of yourself actually have roots within you. You’ll feel this even more intensely as the Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th. This spells of month of deep shadow work, which will help you see how everything that annoys you is here to liberate you. The Sagittarius Full Moon peaks on the 23rd of May and draws your attention to money and your sense of worthiness.

This spells a time where you are being called to see the familial programming you have taken on that has you holding back your voice or even your ability to teach others. Be prepared to be surprised by the power of your voice. T 

 

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

The beginning of May is calling for you to focus on your health and your wellbeing. To get conscious of where you are spending your energy, and if that is costing you something or giving you even more energy to serve. If you’re feeling that something needs to change in this area of your life, the Taurus New Moon on the 7-8th is the portal to use to lay these intentions. With your ruling planet, Jupiter finishing up its year long stint in Taurus this month, you can find that health issues that have been plaguing you since 2023 or flared up at that time start to be met with resolution + understanding. Pay attention to the 13th as there can be unexpected energy surfacing around your wellbeing or even the chance to look at a new alternative modality to support you. It feels like there can be answers coming forth around the 19th of May to help you manage your energy and your wellbeing. As the Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th your focus shifts toward relationships (both business and personal). This gets even more focused when your ruling planet, Jupiter, enters Gemini on the 26th. It will remain here until Mid-2025, and during this time you’re being called to find more freedom in your relationships and awaken to greater abundance in love. This month finishes with a Full Moon in Sagittarius (your sign) on the 23rd. This is a Moon which marks the start of a new chapter for you in how you see yourself (your identity), the relationship you have with your body and even the direction you’re ready to head. It’s an incredibly lucky moon and will crack you open to more of your optimism + curiosity in life.

 

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

May is calling for romance, for joy and for you take off that serious façade you wear + play with life. Remembering it’s ok to not be ‘productive’ and that your worthiness is not what you do for work or at all related to your responsibilities. With Venus, Sun, Jupiter and Uranus all focused in this area of your chart for most of May, you’re being encouraged to take a break and to find happiness in simply being (you might even feel like recreating something you loved as a child or playing with your own children to help you remember this). The New Moon on the 7-8th in Taurus offers you the perfect energy to harness this playfulness and bring it into the next 6 months of your life. As the Sun enters Gemini on the 20th, it brings your focus to your wellbeing, and it wants you to loosen your grips of your daily routine. You can find this is a month that inspires you to write each morning, to listen to something new or explore mantra (sound) as a healing modality. The Sagittarius Full Moon on the 23rd is calling you deeper into your connection with the divine and your own spiritual path. You can find yourself being called to travel somewhere sacred, to meet a new teacher or to awaken within you deeper wisdom. This month finishes with Jupiter entering Gemini on the 26th where he will remain until mid-2025. As such this transit is opening with you a call to study healing modalities, to travel to places that will support your wellbeing as well as listen (at a deeper level) to the intelligence of your body (as the Guru).

 

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

The energy at the moment can see you wanting to be at home and a little removed from others. Don’t worry this won’t last long, so take some time to appreciate it. You can find that the universe, as a part of this energy, is pulling you into closer contact or physical proximity to your family. Reminding you of the importance of these relationships for your growth (particularly when they trigger you). The Taurus New Moon on the 7-8th is calling forth a new 6-month cycle in this area of your life. You can find that this time period sees you moving homes, redecorating or energetically shifting energy within your family lineage. As the Sun moves into alignment with your ruling planet, Uranus, on the 13th pay attention to unexpected energy around your home and with your family that can bring about financial gain or a shift in your sense of worthiness (even if it doesn’t seem like it in the moment). As the Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th the energy starts to get a whole lot more playful. This is a time for you to not feel guilty indulging in your passions, in romance and in pursuits you might normally see as ‘self-centred’. The key to this season is to remember that you are here on earth not just to work or start a revolution but also to play and find joy. This will get heightened when Jupiter enters Gemini on the 26th where he will remain until mid-2025. The month ends with a Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 23rd, which is calling for you to connect with friends in the most unlikely and unexpected of ways. You might find you see them overseas, at a protest or through your studies.

Pisces: February 19 – March 20

The start of May is bringing you experiences that highlight the importance of your voice. Particularly if you like to hold back from speaking up or judge yourself whenever you say something. While the Sun is in Taurus (until the 20th) the universe is teaching you just how important what you intuit + say is to any conversation. If you’re really struggling with this, use the energy of the Taurus New Moon on the 7-8th to help you work through blocks around your voice and truth. As the Sun enters Gemini on the 20th the cosmos is calling you home. This is a season to rest, to spend time with family, to redecorate and have important conversations with the people you live with. Remember not to presume that you know what someone else thinks, even though your intuition is incredibly accurate sometimes it can be a projection of your own insecurities. So, take the time to talk, to listen and to ask questions if you need clarity (particularly with family members, people you live with or conversations about your home). The Sagittarius Full Moon peaks on the 23rd and is bringing to light energy around your career and work. This can manifest as a change in position, a call to travel overseas for work or to step into a more of a mentoring role. Whatever comes to the surface, ride the wave as it will be ultimately for your highest good (even if you can’t see it quite yet). This month finishes with Jupiter entering Gemini on the 26th where he will remain until mid-2025, marking a period of incredible abundance related to your home. You can find yourself moving overseas, renovating to create space to learn or share your wisdom, or at the deepest level connecting with the divine mother (your true home). This will unfold over the coming year, so remember there is no rush – the timing is being determined by the cosmos.
