Astro Overview for May

The astral dynamics of this month are built around the square between the signs of Taurus and Aquarius, which takes us through a series of tensions meant to strengthen our resistance, practicality and ingenuity. Jupiter enters Aries on May 11, marking a time when we will honor courage and self-confidence. Another important event of this month is Mercury turning retrograde on May 10.

Throughout the following weeks, a strong dialogue between Earth and Water signs is maintained (Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn). By combining empathy, patience, perseverance and realism, we can achieve profitable results. On the other hand, Aries is a strong factor of the present equation, bringing lessons of survival, boldness, risk, initiative and unselfish acceptance of the new. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde gives us the time to reassess what has been thought and communicated in the recent months. Let’s closely analyze the main astral events of May!

Venus in Aries: affirming one’s own will in relationships

On May 2, Venus enters the independent sign of Aries. We become more aware of what we want and of our inner experiences. There may be an increased preoccupation with sports and activities that can give us the feeling of victory. In relationships and finance, we are drawn into various competitions. We might be looking for partners who offer us new experiences, dynamism and action. We may firmly establish our personal desires, but we must achieve them through fair play.

Sun conjunct Uranus (Taurus): the consciousness of freedom

Around May 5, the conjunction between the Sun and Uranus amplifies unpredictable individual reactions. In the name of freedom and equality, we are able to resist pressures to accept the will of others. AstroFidelia recommends avoiding explosive tensions and adopting a calm, solid, realistic attitude. The more individuals awaken and assert their liberty, the more surprising the collective results can be.

Mercury retrograde (Gemini): reassessment of information

From May 10 to June 3, Mercury is retrograde. Depending on what has to be better understood, in the coming weeks various information will come to the surface that needs to be rethought or reexplained. We become more introspective and contemplative. We can take advantage of this interval to put our thoughts in order and to free ourselves from those ideas that unnecessarily clutter our minds.

Jupiter in Aries: fearlessness and honor

On May 11, Jupiter enters Aries for about five months. There comes a time when we have to look with great wisdom at the idea of confrontation and competition. Some struggles might be imposed on us in the name of honor and justice, but we can give them a non-aggressive form. AstroFidelia recommends using this energy to start initiatives in which we can act independently. Enthusiasm, energy, physical vigour can open favorable directions for the future.

Sun (Taurus) square Saturn (Aquarius): tradition versus creativity

Around May 15, we can face some authoritarian and rigid tendencies, which we must treat as creatively and originally as possible. Some of these blockages may be related to financial or technological issues. Seriousness and integrity should not be confused with pessimism and abuses of power. It is good to think with maximum responsibility about what we have to build further in our lives and in our communities.

Lunar Eclipse – Full Moon in Scorpio: encounter with the past

After the New Moon in Taurus on April 30, a total lunar eclipse occurs on May 16. Intense emotions are twisted and reveal a past to which we must find some sort of final healing. At the collective level, we are invited to sustain a state of inner tranquillity by appealing to spirituality and emotional detachment. We have the opportunity to free ourselves from material attachments that have sustained a toxic energy around us.

Mars conjunct Neptune (Pisces): courageous sacrifices

On May 18, the conjunction between Mars and Neptune in the idealistic and empathetic sign of Pisces is exact. Courage takes on collective dimensions. At a certain level, we can see that humanity acts in a unified manner. We can fight without unnecessary weapons and destruction, advocating for peace and universal love. It is good to be attentive to the false saviours of the world and not to expect salvation from someone else than ourselves.

Sun in Gemini: being proud of our smartness

On May 21, the Sun enters Gemini. From this moment on, we direct a lot of energy towards the assimilation of new and varied information. We become good observers with a vivid curiosity. We actively practice our communication and logical skills. At the heart of our concerns is the desire to understand and to be proud of our intelligence. Although we are more adaptable and flexible, AstroFidelia recommends to avoid spreading our vital energy in too many directions.

Mercury retrograde in Taurus: rethinking the practical aspects of life

From May 23, Mercury retrogrades in the pragmatic sign of Taurus. Introspective tendencies and the need to reassess certain information related to the past continue, but our mental pace is slower. We carefully review information before concluding that we have fully understood it. We are interested in issues of safety, stability, comfort. We are highly sensitive towards nature.

Mars in Aries: quick actions

On May 25, Mars arrives in its diurnal domicile, Aries. From this position, it suggests energetic and bold reactions. Spirits quickly become inflamed, and the need to assert our personal will leads us to acts of unsuspected courage. For some, this courage can turn into reckless risks, for others into beautiful victories. It is time to honor the fearless warrior within us.

Venus in Taurus: the simple pleasures

On May 28, Venus enters Taurus, a powerful sign for this planet. Taurus signifies the appreciation of naturalness. Therefore, we become more aware of our physical bodies and the small pleasures of the senses. Increased realism helps us to distinguish between trustworthy people and those with whom we cannot form stable, long run alliances. On a financial level, we are taking a cautious and pragmatic attitude.

Mars conjunct Jupiter (Aries): wide actions

The end of the month is influenced by the Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Aries. We feel the impulse towards adventurous and enthusiastic actions. Our energy regenerates quickly, but we must use it wisely so that we do not become overly aggressive. We can fight with great courage for our principles. AstroFidelia recommends taking care that our personal will does not contravene the legitimate interests of others.

The month of May is therefore characterized by astral dynamics that awaken our practical skills and a natural common sense. Transits through Aries signal that we are not allowed to remain passive, but, on the contrary, we must fully engage ourselves in events. All this can be done in fundamentally just and gentle ways, so that we can make important progress on several levels of our lives.

Between May 2-28, Venus transits an area of your chart that urges contemplation, detachment, turning to spirituality and art. In relationships, certain cycles or dynamics that are not worth continuing can be definitively ended. It is good that during this time you also ensure some moments of withdrawal, which will allow you to connect to higher frequencies and seize the big picture of your life.

After May 11, Jupiter in Aries also favors a strong attraction to the spiritual realm. Ideally, you should seek the state of oneness with the divine, without trying to sacrifice yourself unnecessarily for people who have to carry out their personal responsibilities themselves. Mercury retrograde means a time of rethinking your financial strategies, followed by a few days in which you will have to reflect on recent new beginnings.

Gemini

Although for much of this month you may be concerned about the global context and have to get involved in social events, Gemini is strongly active, which means that you also have to concentrate on yourself. Thus, it is good to look inside and ask yourself what is the impact of exterior situations on you, what is your role in the events, what you have do in an independent manner for your evolution.

Jupiter in Aries opens a five months period in which you might join new groups or new projects and make strategies for your long-term future. Surprises must be met with a certain willingness to risk, but this does not equate to recklessness or haste. You should try to quickly and intuitively extract the essence of situations, while also looking at them from as many points of view as possible.

Mercury retrograde imposes mental rest and a careful self-analysis, especially between May 10-23. Subsequently, Mercury moves back into Taurus, which connects you to the collective unconscious and spirituality. On May 21, the Sun enters your sign. After a period of contemplation on the overall social picture, a more active phase follows for you, in which you will have energy for new beginnings.

Cancer

Throughout the month you should seek to expand your horizons, to document yourself from as many sources as possible and to think things on a large scale.

In translation, it may be good to quickly and intuitively grasp possible opportunities for career expansion, without taking things for granted. Consider wisely your mission in the world!

Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde imposes a period of mental rest, in which a lot of interesting information can come to the surface from the unconscious, helping you to understand in an intuitive way what words cannot express well enough. It is good to try to distinguish between your thoughts and those induced by other people, because in the second part of the month you are more sensitive to the psychic influences of those around you.

Leo

The first part of the month is important to you in terms of active involvement in society and career. In one way or another, you make yourself noticed publicly and thus you can gain notoriety, but it is important to be make use of authenticity, responsibility and generosity. As far as you’re concerned, it always takes the warmth and enthusiasm that you can instill in others. After May 2, the gradual activation of Aries, another Fire sign, helps you in this regard.

Thus, Venus, Jupiter and, subsequently, Mars in Aries bring you adventures that illuminate your soul and mind.

In the midst of these events in which you have to pay attention to the needs of those around you, it helps you to periodically focus on yourself, to return to your roots and to your deep self.

Virgo

Under the influence of Taurus, the first part of the month can lead you to activities that strengthen your principles and philosophy of life.

The international background is also fully present in your life and can bring you some very useful information.

Throughout the month, you are required to take an empathetic approach in relationships, which does not mean loosing your discernment. Although you are inclined to gentle reactions, AstroFidelia recommends looking closely at people and situations, as some of them can be quite deceptive. You could have a healing role in the midst of these dynamics, but not in the sense of sacrificing yourself unnecessarily. Try to concentrate yourself on stimulating faith in good and universal love!

Simultaneously, transits through Gemini mean an active period in your career and direct involvement in community problems.

Throughout the month, Aries, the opposite sign of Libra, is highly active, which makes relationship situations unfold at a faster pace. You can quickly create new alliances, but you can also attract some more stressful circumstances in important partnerships.

Relationships are also highly active throughout this month for you. You are in the middle of a variety of meetings and conversations, especially after May 21.
