Your May Horoscope Is Here, And It's ALL About The Moons
You’re ready to just kick back and enjoy spring after a busy April-and the universe is here to help this month.
The new moon on the 4th is all about relaxation. Think: barefoot picnics in the park with wine and chocolate. The full moon on the 18th only underscores that vibe, making you want to stop and smell the flowers as much as possible.
Toward the middle of the month, you’ll (again) be tempted to sit back and chill. Sure, you could go out with your friends-or you could be at home, reading a good book in the tub. Just make sure you maintain a good balance between the two.
Then, when the Sun moves into Gemini on the 21st, you’ll be ready to get out and do more again. So, definitely take the time to rest up while you can-life is only going to get busier at the end of the month.
Here's what else is in store for you this month, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta.
ARIES (MARCH 21–APRIL 19)
Do you have the money to do what you really want in life, Aries? The new moon on the 4th is in your second house of finances, making you question what else you can be doing to earn more cold, hard cash. Then, the full moon on the 18th makes you ready to learn a new skill (which, oh hey, could help you earn more $$$).
Mars moves into Cancer on the 15th, sparking the desire to put more effort and energy into your place. So, don’t be surprised if you find yourself cruising Wayfair for great deals… Luckily, Venus moves into Taurus on the 15th, helping you resist the urge to impulse buy. If you’re going to spend money around this time, it’s going to be sooo worth it.
TAURUS (APRIL 20–MAY 20)
You’re ready for a fresh start, Taurus, and the universe is here. for. it. The new moon on the 4th underscores how great new beginnings can be for you, even if it’s just taking a new class at your gym. Plus, the full moon on the 18th helps you break out of your usual a little more. You’ll be ready to push things in work, life, anywhere you’ve gotten into a routine that’s just not doing it for you anymore.
Around the 21st, you’ll start to think about your finances and where you can cut back. Did you really need to buy that cute pair of shoes you splurged on earlier in the month? Maybe yes, maybe no-only you know where it’s really worth putting your money.
GEMINI (MAY 21–JUNE 20)
You’re ready to get away and just ~chill~, Gemini, thanks to several planets moving through your solar house of retreat. That doesn’t mean you’ll get the R&R you’re craving, though.

The full moon on the 18th highlights your daily routine, work, and health. Is your day-to-day right for you, or is it time to let go of something to be the best version of yourself? Take some time to meditate this month-it’ll stir up some cool new ideas for you.
