Your Libra Monthly Horoscope for May

From Cosmopolitan

Put these dates in your Google Cal rn:

  • May 4: Open up.

  • May 13: Work is taking over—but that's not a bad thing.

  • May 22: You’re figuring out how to work hard so you can play hard, too.


This month, you’re diving deep. There’s a remarkably emotional connection happening with someone on May 4, when the Sun and Mercury, planet of communication, combine forces in your chart’s zone of intimacy. Whether the connection happens in or out of the bedroom makes no difference: Expect to feel all the feels. This moment is likely a positive one—for example, you become super-close with another person (like your S.O.) and you start to understand each other even better. NGL, this can be a pretty sexy transit, but the main idea is to allow yourself to feel and be vulnerable with someone else. If you’re boo’d up, great! If you’re single, however, expect to fall for any new crushes fast.

Your love life has been skyrocketing lately, thanks to Mars, planet of libido, in Aquarius. This transit’s been helping you turn up the heat in your sex life while promoting romance, too, but on May 13, the red planet enters watery Pisces, putting cold water on everything. Basically, you’re getting down to business—literally business—and focusing on work. The sudden shift feels weird, especially because Venus Retrograde starts on the same day. Your love life is probs slowing down a ton, but you can really get shit done with Mars’ help and cross everything off your to-do list.

You’re a total busy bee for the rest of the month—you’re zipping around trying to tend to all of the work on your plate, clean up your place, and basically reorganize your entire life. You’re offered a moment to hit “pause” and chill out come May 22, when the Sun harmonizes with Saturn, planet of structure. You begin to find balance in your work life, love life, and life life. And you’re all about balance, Libra. Take the day off to relax, unwind, and do something you want to do, so you can recharge your batteries and move forward with all your responsibilities without feeling like you’re drowning in work.
