Aries

After many months of competiveness and combativeness on the professional front, there is plenty to be happy about at work right now. You have several wins and incredible opportunities on the way right out of the gate when the Pluto retrograde commences on May 1. This is the perfect time to discuss your vision and start a to-do list relating to your career goals. You might also want to make additions and changes to that list during the lunar eclipse on the fifth. 

As the month progresses, you’ll be able to stand fiercely in your power when Mercury turns direct on May 14. This is a pivotal time to make a new financial plan to help you attain future monetary success. The payback will be worth it, but it will require patience (which impulsive Aries isn’t really famous for). Be careful during Mercury’s forward motion that the frenetic energy doesn’t cause upset or miscommunication in your professional relationships. With patience and your naturally sharp wits, you'll be able to smooth over matters in no time.



Taurus

Abundance is coming this month, which means that your bank account could hit a high. The caveat is that you might do more talking about your new financial direction than actually doing anything about it. That said, you might want to meet with a financial adviser who can help you plan for the future and ensure your monetary well-being. 

The solar eclipse on May 5 is an amazing time to make a move regarding your connections at work. There has been a lot of reshuffling in the office lately, resulting in your role changing and evolving. It’s a fortuitous time for success. The only thing that weighs on you is that you aren’t being paid what you think you deserve. As long as you stand your ground, you’ll get the paycheck you merit. 

Mercury’s forward motion in your sign on the fourteenth can help ensure your prosperity and growth in the professional sphere.



Gemini

This month’s cosmic energy brings some major changes to your work life. For the first time in a long while you’re the one calling the shots and making the moves.

When Mercury turns direct on May 14, you will be discussing your future project and goals. However, your plans might need revising when Jupiter squares Pluto three days later. Although you might have to rethink the business model you devised during the retrograde, it would be best to rework an old plan to turn your vision into reality. 

New opportunities are coming your way that will help you gain momentum and success in the work sphere. People want to give you opportunities now, so it’s important that you lean in to the energy and take them. 

Your future prospects are boundless as long as you make the effort to evolve your vision when your solar return occurs on the twenty-first. The time to start your new chapter is now. Enjoy the good times with your colleagues.



Cancer

In the first half of this month, your cardinal go-getting ways are a little subdued, and you could be feeling more pensive than usual. You have a solitary approach to your business prospects, allowing you to dive inward at an emotional level. What serves your insatiable thirst for knowledge at this time could be looking into more integrative projects and keeping your focus on psychological self-discovery. There's plenty of internal growth happening, which could feel quite demanding and possibly overwhelming. 

You’ll feel lighter and more connected to your jovial spirit early in the month when Mercury and Venus help you think about the direction of your career. The reason for this change is a planetary awakening that could nudge you toward a completely different career track than you’ve ever considered before. 

The solar eclipse on May 5 is a rich time for you to consider your path and even take classes that will help your career. Think of this time as a gift from the Universe and delve into subjects you once considered off limits to even study. You might even consider a subject like philosophy to be your business inspiration.



Leo

May is the perfect month to use your connections. If you want to discuss possible work opportunities with a past colleague, the start of the month is a great time to reach out, especially when Pluto turns retrograde on May 1. Don’t be shy about asking to be hooked up with their connections. It could lead to a new professional break for you during the lunar eclipse in Scorpio on the fifth. Speak and ask for their assistance. It could help your situation and lead you to your dream gig. 

When Mercury turns direct on May 14, you’ll be urged to discuss your spending. Although you won’t want to tighten your budget (you’re the “spendiest” sign of the zodiac, after all), it will be time to reevaluate your finances. If you feel ready to ask for a raise, this is an ideal time. However, you’ll find that you can secure the most cash for your efforts if you leave your current job and move to something better. It could lead to fame, acclaim, a bigger financial return, and all the things you desire.

 



Prepare yourself to take on each month with your personalized Monthly Horoscope!

Virgo

The beginning of the month primarily focuses on establishing equilibrium between your professional and private lives. You’ll have to strike a balance and stop working too much (something you’re not too keen on since you’re something of a workaholic). 

The sun’s move into Gemini on May 21 urges you to transform your personal goals and dreams. If you play your cards right and lean in to the energy’s higher vibration, you could reconnect with a youthful vision that you put on the back burner. You might consider meeting with a colleague or business friend who can give you important feedback on your goals and help you take your protect to the next level. 

The good news is that you can start to manifest this dream under the Virgo second quarter moon on the twenty-seventh. This can be a time of major success in your career as you move toward a greater professional plan, one you hadn’t even envisioned before. 

Just understand that the month of May is for preparing and not committing. That way, you can start to get all your ducks in a row for the future and begin to make the plans that will help you reach your professional dreams.



Libra

The creativity is flowing freely from your heart to your professional goals all month. You’ll be inspired to start a whole new vision quest and redo the branding for your business. Keep in mind that it’s a process and might take time to find the right look. Don’t let your airy nature push you into a situation that you’re unsure about. Think matters through first. 

On May 5, the lunar eclipse in Scorpio can motivate you to discuss your unique ideas with others or take them public. This will be very useful over the next few days, when potential clients come your way looking for a flashy new business to invest their time and money in. 

Mercury ends its planetary moonwalk in Taurus on the fourteenth, and you’ll have a chance to cement contacts and sign contracts with clients who intend to work exclusively with you. This gives you the rare opportunity to navigate your clients toward greatness. However, the lesson you’ll learn during the Taurus new moon on May 19 is that you need to set boundaries with them, no matter how friendly the vibe. 

 



Scorpio

Setting boundaries and clearing debt are essential parts of the celestial energies this month. The lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 5 is an ideal time to reflect on any recent partnerships. However, Uranus is erratic, bringing a different opinion on the situation every day. It might be hard to be sure about the next steps. 

You could find this to be especially true when it comes to the people you trust. Don’t overreact. Look at the relationships to decide who is worthy of your energy and who isn’t. That way, you’ll be able to set limits with any partnerships that seem slightly unsavory during the lunar eclipse. All that glitters might not be gold—or good for your professional future. The sooner you cut these people loose, the easier it will be to manifest abundance in their place. They could be holding you back. 

Mercury’s seasonal moonwalk ends in Taurus on the fourteenth, allowing you to make plans to deal with debt and money that you owe others. Also, a loan you gave to another company, employee, or colleague could be paid back (with interest). 

If you’re feeling daring during the Taurus new moon on May 19, step up your game and revisit a raise that’s been in the offing for a while. It could wind up working out in your favor.



Sagittarius

Although you’re used to doing everything solo, this month you realize the importance of partnerships, particularly business alliances. You can adopt a new business model now, as long as you have a balanced and clear understanding of the roles you each will take. It will give you a sense of urgency in planning the next steps toward your career goals. 

The caveat is that Mercury starts its post-retrograde shadow on May 14, which means things won’t happen as quickly as you’d like. This will be a lesson to you to slow down and double-check contracts and the people you bring into the endeavor. Don’t rush the process. You’ll be able to cultivate and manifest your dreams soon enough. 

The sun enters Gemini on the twenty-first, setting you back a few days due to the fact that contracts might take time to come to fruition. But consider this a good thing. If you slow down, you can carefully plot out your next moves without any issues. Rome wasn’t built in a day and your business model won’t be either.



Capricorn

Money hasn’t been flowing into your bank account lately, and this month doesn’t promise major changes on the financial front, but it does indicate that the strain begins to subside. 

A creative and lucrative opportunity could fall in your lap during the Taurus new moon on May 19, giving you a chance to plan your financial future. The fog will begin to lift at that time, urging you to be more proactive in your financial planning rather than just look at numbers, facts, and figures. Rather than investing in recommended stocks, you might opt to put your money in a fund that intuitively feels right to you. If you lean in to situations that your gut feels are promising, it can lead you to the best monetary gain down the road. 

The lunar eclipse on the fifth, followed by Mercury turning direct on the fourteenth, could make you pause in your decisions. Staying the course, as well as riding out the ups and downs of the stocks, will be the best way to improve your cash flow. The payoff could be huge. You are the CEO of your life. You got this.



Aquarius

May is the perfect month for you to ask for a raise. Although you might be unsure if your boss (and other higher-ups) will approve your request, you could be pleasantly surprised to find that the cosmos has your back. The best time to get the ball rolling on this matter is at the time of the lunar eclipse on the fifth. The eclipse can strengthen your case because your boss is prepared to hand over the cash at that time. 

However, if you want to take a leap of faith, you can start looking for opportunities at other companies to let your boss know that you’re serious about that raise or promotion. Odds are they’ll give in when the sun enters Gemini on May 21. 

However, Mercury’s retrograde ends on the fourteenth, so you could freak out about whether you made the right decision. If you play the game and gamble it all, you could win big. Now isn’t the time to hold your cards close to the vest. Making a stand to get what you want requires taking a risk.



Pisces

The month of May starts with you discussing ways to elevate your career when Pluto turns retrograde on the first. On May 5, there’s a lunar eclipse, elevating your financial well-being, and the good professional vibes don’t stop there! 

This is a wonderful time to network and connect with former colleagues. If you’re thinking about asking for a raise, go for it. You’ll be surprised by how much you can attain and achieve. Abundance is at your doorstep, and you won’t have to do much to receive your professional desires. The lunar eclipse will shake up your chart as it urges you to move toward a new professional venture. 

Try to be careful in your decision-making as you move forward. The Mercury retrograde ends on the fourteenth, which could put a damper on your plans if you’re not careful. Conversely, an old endeavor that never came to fruition could come your way again when the sun enters Gemini on May 21.
