May Monthly Horoscope Overview

April 2024 was one of the most intense astrological months but your May horoscope provides a slightly slower pace and positive cosmic vibes!

The month begins with the Sun in strong and stable Taurus, urging the world to focus on financial, economic and property matters. Who we will and won’t sell out for is a question to be answered this month. We all have a price and you’ll decide what yours is.

Powerful Pluto begins a five-month retrograde in Aquarius on the 2nd, slowing the pace of any team, group or social media ventures. It’s a good time to return to an abandoned network or political movement that you thought was gone for good. 

The people vs. governments and corporations might feel like an uphill battle over the summer months, with the power of Pluto very much in the corner of the big boys. But come September, the collective effort will start to show signs of a revolution. From 2025 onwards, people power will begin to win the war. And it all starts this month. 

The other headline news is expansive Jupiter’s move into Mercury-ruled Gemini. Jupiter has been in Taurus for around a year, boosting financial and property markets all over the world.

You may even have felt the trickle down effect of this transit in your own bank balance, if you have Taurus factors in your birth chart. With Venus, the planet of money and worth, in Taurus until the 23rd May, you might be on the receiving end of a well-deserved Jupiter in Taurus gift before the end of the month. 

Jupiter in Gemini brings a lighter energy to opportunities and we’ll see growth in short haul travel, local neighbourhoods, eCommerce and communication companies. Writers, podcasters and journalists, who’ve been affected by seemingly endless rounds of layoffs from big media companies in recent years, could find new opportunities to get their words read and heard during this transit.
