Happy May, everyone! I don’t know about you, but I can certainly feel that quiet, pre-summer shift: like the first breeze that smells like sunscreen or the first moment your hoodie and long-sleeves feel too warm (currently sweating in the library). May is the month we stretch out of the cocoon and start flirting with summer. We’re still tying up loose ends (before we can tie up the strings on that bikini, of course), still finishing papers, projects, or work deadlines. But, the pull toward sunshine, bikinis, and beach reads is getting harder and harder to ignore. Maybe you’re making your summer playlist, thinking about tan lines and late nights, or just craving a little fun after months of pushing through. Whatever it is, let it pull you. Wondering what to put on your anticipatory summer playlist? Keep reading and keep listening.
Taurus
Happy birthday, Taurus! With the sun lighting up your sign until the 21st, this season is casting a soft but steady spotlight on your presence and magnetism. Enjoy the attention, and don’t shy away from stepping into leadership roles or trying new things. With Venus charging through Aries early this month, your self-worth and romantic confidence are rising to the surface. You might notice more eyes on you, but remember: you’re your most magnetic when you’re grounded and present. As Saturn shifts into Aries at the end of your birth season, your focus gets pulled inward. Nurse any post-birthday hangovers, and carve out some quiet time just for you.

Gemini
Gemini, think of this May like a cup of coffee after a long, slow morning. Mercury sharpens your wit until the 26th, giving you the perfect momentum to write, speak, or launch something new. With Mars lighting up your social house, collaboration and quick thinking will bring the results you’ve been waiting for. Meanwhile, Saturn’s move into Aries on the 25th starts a slow but meaningful shift in your friendships and networks, a call to invest in connections that nourish you for the long haul. Jupiter pushes you to let go of something heavy: a grudge, a fear, maybe even a physical tension you’ve carried too long. Pluto’s retrograde from the 4th stirs some hard questions around success and self-definition, but don’t rush the answers. When the sun moves into your sign on the 21st, it’s time to start dreaming big again. By the new moon on the 27th, the message is clear: stop waiting and just start (even if you don’t quite know where or how).

Cancer
Cancer, as summer approaches, you’re clearing space for deeper love, stronger ambition, and a lighter heart! This month asks you to get honest: first with yourself, then with the people closest to you. Pluto’s retrograde in your opposite sign continues, putting relationship power dynamics under review. Where are you giving too much, or holding too tightly? The full moon in your communication zone on May 13 lights the way toward emotional honesty and clearer boundaries. Trust that being direct doesn’t make you unkind; it makes you brave. Meanwhile, Saturn’s shift into Aries on the 25th turns your long-term focus toward career growth. Steady, strategic ambition will start to pay off, but patience is part of the deal. Play the long game. By the time May ends, you’ll be standing on stronger ground and feeling ready to move into summer with a clearer heart and a steadier hand.

Leo
May puts a spotlight on your goals, Leo, and you’re ready to rise to the occasion. With the sun lighting up your 10th house of reputation and ambition, this is a powerful month for career moves and bold next steps. Around the full moon on May 13, you’ll gain emotional clarity about what’s been draining you, as well as what’s been quietly fueling your fire all along. Let that insight guide your next decisions. Meanwhile, Saturn’s move into Aries on the 25th awakens your philosophical side, encouraging you to expand your beliefs and think bigger about what’s possible. Your dreams are growing right alongside you. As May winds down, you’ll feel more aligned, more energized, and more ready than ever to step into the summer with confidence and vision.

Virgo
This month invites you to dig deeper, Virgo: first with yourself, but also with the people you trust most. With Venus moving through your house intimacy, surface-level connections just won’t cut it. You’re craving honesty, depth, and the kind of trust that feels like a steady anchor. Around the full moon on May 13, outdated routines or habits that have been holding you back are ready to be released. Letting go isn’t always easy, but growth rarely happens without a little pruning. Meanwhile, Saturn’s shift into Aries on the 25th marks the start of a long-term transformation in how you share your resources, energy, and emotional labor. You’re building relationships, and a life, with stronger, healthier foundations. By the end of May, you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and ready to invest where it matters most.

Libra
Love is in the air for you this month, Libra, and not just the light, flirty kind (though you are SO good at that kind as well). With Venus, your ruling planet, lighting up your relationship zone, May is full of meaningful conversations, deeper bonds, and tender moments that remind you what connection is really about. Around the full moon on May 13, financial clarity arrives: you might spot hidden costs you’ve been ignoring or realize you’ve been undervaluing your own talents. Trust what’s revealed. Meanwhile, Saturn’s shift into Aries on the 25th turns your attention toward building relationships that are sustainable, reciprocal, and truly nourishing. The best ones will feel less like a performance and more like a partnership. By the time the month wraps up, you’ll have a clearer sense of who’s really standing beside you and where you want to invest your heart next.

Scorpio
May encourages you to speak your mind, Scorpio. That said, it’s calling you to listen just as deeply. With Mercury activating your relationship zone between May 10 and 26, honest dialogue is the key to unlocking more trust and understanding. Meanwhile, Pluto’s retrograde keeps stirring transformation at home, asking you to look closely at what needs a deep clean: emotionally and physically. It might be time to clear out old baggage, literal or metaphorical. Saturn’s move into Aries on the 25th turns your attention to your daily rhythms, wellness, and work habits. Small, steady choices now can build the foundation for big growth later. As the month winds down, you’ll feel lighter, stronger, and more aligned with the life you're consciously choosing to create.

Sagittarius
This is a quietly clarifying month for you, Sagittarius. Instead of rushing ahead, May asks you to pause, reflect, and take stock of the choices that brought you here. Saturn’s entrance into Aries on the 25th helps you ground your creativity and joy, teaching you that discipline isn’t the enemy of self-expression, but the fuel. After the sun moves into Gemini on the 21st, you’ll feel a fresh wave of energy, making it easier to reconnect, laugh, and share what’s on your heart. Let the first half of May be your deep breath. The second half will remind you how much lighter it feels when you move from a place of clarity.

Capricorn
May turns your attention inward, Capricorn, asking you to tend to your roots. With Saturn (your ruling planet) shifting into Aries on May 25, a long-term cycle begins around home, family, and the foundations you stand on. What does real security look like for you now? It’s time to start building it on your own terms. Around the full moon on May 13, you’re encouraged to release old perfectionism and the pressure to control everything around you. Let yourself breathe and remember that the best things come from being present and optimistic. As May winds down, you’ll feel the first hints of freedom that come from trusting yourself, not appearances.

Aquarius
Your voice matters, Aquarius. And this month, you’re beginning to believe it in a new way. Saturn’s transition into Aries kicks off a long-term process of rebuilding your confidence around communication, learning, and self-expression. Use May to be intentional with your words; people are listening more closely than you realize. Around the full moon on May 13, themes around travel, education, or sibling relationships could come into focus, reminding you how big your world can become when you stay curious. By the end of the month, you’ll feel a shift: less hesitation, more boldness.

Pisces
This month calls you inward, Pisces, and asks you to trust the quiet work happening below the surface. Pluto’s retrograde keeps rewiring your subconscious, making spiritual practices –be it meditation, journaling, or simple rituals– especially grounding now. Saturn’s move into Aries on May 25 also shifts your focus toward finances and self-worth, encouraging you to think long-term about what truly holds value. Around the full moon on May 13, you’re nudged to release a limiting belief: you never had to earn your worth in the first place. May is about remembering your power, not chasing it.
Tracks: “Oysters In My Pocket” by Royel Otis, “10%” by KAYTRANADA feat. Kali Uchis, and “Kitchen” by SZA
Aries
May invites you to slow your stride, Aries; Not to stop, but to move with more clarity and purpose. Mercury supports inner breakthroughs all month, making this an ideal time for journaling, vision-boarding, and setting quiet intentions. Emotional vulnerability brings surprising strength around the full moon on May 13; let yourself open up where it feels safe. By the end of the month, you’ll be ready to move forward with momentum, and with a deeper sense of why you’re running in the first place.
