Now that your birthday season is over, it’s time to take a good, hard look at your bank account. If you spent a little too much on party supplies (obvs everyone *loved* your Avengers-themed birthday extravaganza), the beginning of May is all about taking financial inventory and setting new monetary goals. On May 4, a new Moon in Taurus kicks off a new emotional cycle connected to your cash flow.

Our financial status is one of the most direct manifestations of our emotional expression. This is further emphasized when Venus-the planet that governs love, beauty, and values-also cruises into Taurus on May 15. During this time, you’ll discover that your quest for wealth isn’t based on vanity; it’s directly connected to your personal self-care practice. Mid-month, consider choices made from scarcity as opposed to those made from abundance. Whether you’re dragging out a stale relationship or refusing to throw out that old pair of sneakers (ew), remember that letting go is about embracing the new, and that is definitely a good thing.

On May 18, a full Moon in Scorpio electrifies the sky, shining a powerful lunar beam on the area of your chart connected to death, sex, and transformation. If this sounds intense, it’s because it is! A full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon meet in direct opposition in the sky-a symbolic face-off between our ego and emotions. In Scorpio (the spookiest sign of the zodiac, IMO), this will inspire you to reevaluate the nooks and crannies of your psyche. How is the past impacting your future? If you’re feeling a bit ~haunted~ under this enchanting night sky, remember that you’re not defined by your experiences. Your future can set you free, so stop texting your ex!


Finally, a new astrological season begins on May 21, when the Sun slides into chatty Gemini. The energy of this air sign perfectly complements your inherently vivacious, playful sensibilities and now you’re all about having fun. This is an excellent time to reconnect with your besties, classmates, and colleagues, so say “yaaaas” to spontaneous hangs, bottomless brunches, and impromptu picnics. And, for single celestial rams, don’t be surprised if a new romance also emerges. The weather is getting warmer, so naturally, your libido is heating up too. Don’t be shy, Aries babe! Get out there and have some fun!
