Despite popular opinion, you are not a rebel without a cause—you actually have plenty of causes. So many, in fact, that it’s hard for you to choose exactly which one you want to focus on at any given moment…and with good reason. The world is so far from perfect, it will take lifetimes to address all of the problems and injustices. Caring about so many issues can actually be a bit paralyzing: Where do you start? Thankfully, during the New Moon in Taurus on May 11, you’re going to know exactly what you need to address and, believe it or not, it’s much closer than you realized: Your own family. Under this sky, you’re presented with a unique opportunity to open challenging conversations with relatives, set new boundaries on the home front, or even process painful childhood memories through the help of a therapist or metaphysical practitioner. This is the last lunation before eclipse season kicks off later this month (more on that below), so be sure to lean into the magick of this dark and velvety New Moon. This is about planting seeds, Aquarius darling, so don’t be afraid to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. I promise it will be worth your while.
Since December 2020, abundant Jupiter has been moving through your own sign. No doubt there have been some massive transformations over these past six months, and now, you’re about to start reaping the rewards…in a very literal way. On May 13, the planet of fortune will be activating your money zone for the first time since September 2010. It’s been a long time since Jupiter has cruised through this domain and, likewise, this transit will feel like you just won the cosmic lottery! Cha-ching! But just because your finances are beginning to crystallize doesn’t mean you should bust out the Cristal. Jupiter will return to your sign on July 28, so Jupiter's initial drift through Pisces’ domain is laying the foundation for 2022. Now that’s something to look forward to!

But wait just a gosh darn minute…who’s sliding into DMs, slinging late night “u up?” texts, and posting the most salacious thirst trap selfies? Why, it’s YOU, Aquarius babe! And we love to see it! Gemini season begins on May 20, activating the area of your chart associated with passion and pleasure, and ensuring that—in the words of fellow Aquarian Megan Thee Stallion—this will indeed be a hot girl summer. For the next few weeks, you’ll feel confident, playful, and flirtatious, so don’t be afraid to get a little extra extra. I know you’re a humanitarian at heart, Aquarius babe, but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to shine. Over the next few weeks, all eyes will be on you, so enjoy the amplified attention. It’s a beautiful thing!
Then, the following week, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will light up the sky, illuminating the areas of your chart associated with creativity and collaboration, respectively. This is an extremely inspired lunation for you, Aquarius babe: With the eclipses speeding up time and pushing new energy into the mix, you’ll discover that all your hard work (yes, including your sexy selfies) actually mean something. Over the last year, you’ve learned powerful lessons and had massive realization and, now, you’re truly prepared to make a difference on a large-scale. The answer is almost shockingly simple: When you trust your intuition and live your truth, you know that you have exactly what it takes to change the world. And that’s not hyperbole—it’s the real deal. Lead with love, and the rest will follow.
And, hopefully, this momentum will help propel you forward...even during Mercury Retrograde. I’m sorry, but it’s true: On May 28, the month concludes with Mercury’s infamous backwards spin. Mercury, the planet of expression, governs all things relating to communication, transportation, and technology so, when this swift-moving celestial body goes backwards, headaches will be inevitable. Through mid-June, you’ll be extra susceptible to misunderstanding, so make sure you’re double—scratch that, quadruple—checking your emails, texts, and DMs. And, if a conflict should boil over (which, NGL, it probably will), at least you finally have an excuse to blame the cosmos. Damn you, Mercury!
