Your May Horoscopes

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio at 14 Degrees: May 5

A new moon lunar eclipse arrives on May 5 in Scorpio at 14 degrees. It is dramatically emotional, think of a full moon on steroids. The full moon is in a water sign, so expect an overload of emotions. The ruler of the eclipse is Mars in Cancer, bringing more aquatic energy but in excess. As both rulers, the Moon and Mars, are in their fall position, this time can be very uncertain and unsteady. This lunation is emotionally messy, bringing up uncomfortable energies such as hurt from the past, anger, betrayal and agitation. Secrets may be revealed on the world stage, if not in your personal life.

This south node eclipse brings our attention to the past, unresolved emotional hurts that need to be released. South nodal eclipses urge us to heal, release and let go. In Scorpio, the focus is on intense emotional wounds. This is the last lunar eclipse in Scorpio, not to come around again for another 18 years. It can be immensely cathartic and healing; we only have to face the parts of ourselves that we tend to bury. This lunation will bring it up, allowing us to tend to our afflicted emotions. It is a potent time to release emotional hurts and wounds and to be free from what holds us back. Lunar eclipses are culminations, endings and releases. The moon opposes unpredictable Uranus, adding a quality of unexpected disruption. On a lunar eclipse, it is wise to lie low, rest and stay home if possible. The energies are chaotic and unpredictable, especially with this highly emotional lunar eclipse. Be mindful of emotional reactivity and stay out of the fray. May these lunar eclipses bring you the most immense healing and forgiveness.

Venus in Cancer: May 7 - June 5

Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters Cancer on May 7 - a welcome reprieve after the intense full moon lunar eclipse on May 5. Venus in Cancer invites us to nourish ourselves and others.

Not overly social, Venus in Cancer wants intimate gatherings with loved ones and dear friends. She is sentimental, loves reminiscing with friends and loved ones. There is the desire to make others feel safe, emotionally supported and protected. Yet, we can become emotionally needy, highly sensitive and easily impressionable.
