May 2024, Holiscopes
It’s time to ground into the breakthroughs we experienced with the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on April 20, and be open to transformation. Taurus energy dominates for most of the month — be present in the here and now, and enjoy all the pleasures that nature and the material world has to offer. It would be wise to check in with yourself and what truly matters to you. Life is going to speed up later in May, and distractions will proliferate like wildfire.
Pluto begins its Retrograde journey on the 2, where over the next 5 months, we will have the opportunity to see where we’re at personally and collectively in the process of rebirth. What needs to be uncovered? What needs to be transmuted?
The New Moon in Taurus arrives on the 8. It’s a great time to really get going on whatever new opportunity or breakthrough came to you on the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, and create a grounded, step by step plan. Mars and Pluto’s alignment offers powerful momentum, too.
On the 15, Mercury moves into Taurus, where our thoughts may become more practical and methodical. Take your time getting out what you need to.
Things begin to pick up as Gemini season begins on the 20. It’s time to communicate and to make connections with the world around us. Curiosity is a superpower.
Indulge a little bit on the 23’s Full Moon in Sagittarius. Celebrate the big-picture lessons you’ve learned, be generous in your support of others, and fix situations that could use some adjustments. The same day, Venus moves into Gemini, where we’ll crave communication, curiosity in our relationships, and want to meet new people.
The month’s big event lands on the 25 — Jupiter shifting into Gemini. The planet of luck and expansion is not in its favourite place here. As information proliferates, you could very well be inspired, but be mindful of too many ideas without a plan to make them happen, and general overstimulation. Discernment is key here.
