One of your most admirable attributes is your inherent nurturing spirit, Cancer darling. You always know how to bolster your closest companions through kindness, support, and unconditional love. Now it's time to take these skills to the next level. On May 4, the Moon and Sun meet in Taurus, activating the area of your chart associated with social justice and humanitarian causes. Under this sky, consider ways you can rally your support system to make some major change.

On May 15, Venus-the planet of love, beauty, and money-also joins the revolution. Mid-month, you’ll discover that you’re not only feeling motivated by greater causes; you’re also attracting people who share like-minded values. You’re seeking bonds that will challenge the status quo. Likewise, you’re aligning with people who aren’t afraid to shake up the system. These newfound curiosities may surprise you, but keep an open mind and enjoy the adventure.

The full Moon in Scorpio on May 18 illuminates your creativity zone, which inspires you to flex your artistic muscle. Since you’re getting in touch with your unique talents, you may also find yourself a bit frustrated by your endless to-do list. During this lunation, try to make even the most boring tasks a bit more magical. Approaching a situation from a new perspective may help you unlock exciting, new opportunities.


Finally, on May 21, the Sun shifts into a new sign, kicking off Gemini season. Gemini energy is frenetic, spontaneous, and hyperactive-attributes that make steady Cancers feel extremely uneasy. Brace yourself for lots of last-minute cancellations, “rain-checks,” and unanticipated miscommunications. If this becomes completely overwhelming, remove yourself from stressful situations. This is a great time to honor your psychic boundaries and focus on self-care, Cancer darling. You need beauty sleep with your birthday right around the corner!
