From Cosmopolitan

  • May 13: The sky isn’t falling down, I promise.

  • May 20: HBD, Gemmy!

  • May 22: Say your piece.


The first couple weeks of May find you coming to some major realizations, especially regarding work, what you want to do with your life, and your reputation. Venus in your sign is giving you the time to relax, recline, sip some wine, throw on a sheet mask, and practice some major self-care.

Major transits are happening in the second half of the month, but first, Mercury, the planet of communication, enters your sign (its fav place to be) on May 11. This makes you feel way less lonely and way less isolated. Bonus: you’re able to think and speak in a clearer, more direct manner. People are noticing how confident you seem, giving you a MAJOR leg up when it comes to dealing with craziness from Venus and Mars that’s taking over the second half of the month.

Yeah, about that. For the first half of the month, Venus is your freakin’ bestie, but on May 13, it turns around and begins its retrograde, which lasts for 40 days and 40 nights. At the same time, Mars, planet of action, enters Pisces, highlighting your chart’s zone of career and public image. Venus Retrograde is making you feel like you need to reassess the way you present yourself to others on a superficial level. It’s true that looks aren’t everything, but a well put-together appearance can definitely help you move ahead. So think about brushing your hair before that Zoom meeting, k?

Mars in Pisces is aiming the profesional spotlight right at you. Not only are you actively trying to change the way others see you, you’re also feeling like your work performance is under heavy observation. The pressure is on, so work hard to deliver the best results, and you’ll find that career advancements are happening at the same time as personal growth. Whether you're learning a new skill or growing your network, this transit will pay off in the long run. FYI: Mars in Pisces lasts just about as long as Venus Retrograde, so the two transits are operating in sync with one another.

Gemini Season starts on May 20, and it’s your saving grace amongst this month’s astro-drama. You spend a lot of this month feeling critical about yourself and your image, but once the Sun enters your sign, you’re like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. This metamorphosis brings a huge confidence boost, and you’re slaying the game.

It’s a LONG month, and the drama finally begins to subside on May 22, when Mercury and Venus team up in your sign. Venus is still retrograde, yes, but Mercury’s assistance is helping you draw major conclusions about the changes you’ve undergone all month long. Plus, you’ll be able to plan any additional tweaks you want to make to your professional presence. As complicated as this all sounds, remember that you are so smart and you matter so much, so you totally got this!
