Happy May, Pisces! This is a brand new month and, tbh, you’re actually enjoying the energetic shifts. On May 11, the Sun and Moon meet in Taurus, forming a brilliant New Moon that’s all about fortifying your community. You’ll feel inspired to connect with friends, colleagues, and classmates. There’s no doubt that the past year has been extremely isolating, and under this sky, you’ll feel compelled to step back (albeit safely into the world. But be careful: As the most psychic sign of the zodiac, you often process others’ emotions, so make sure you’re not conflating your internal truths with others’ feelings. My advice? Jot down what’s on your mind prior to entering a social situation—that way, it will be easier for you to identify which vibes belong to you from those that were psychically absorbed. Yes, it might be a little awkward at first, but psychic hygiene is extremely important for you, mermaid love! Don’t worry, you got this!

Ready for more good news? On May 13, Jupiter—the planet of expansion and abundance—will be entering your own sign for the first time since 2010. This is huge, Pisces! What’s more, in traditional astrology (that is, astrology that excludes planets not visible to the naked eye), Jupiter governs Pisces, which means there’s a special, magical connection between this gas giant and your zodiac sign. Simply put, Jupiter loves you! So buckle your proverbial seatbelt, Pisces darling, because life as you know it is about to change forever… or at least for the next twelve years. So what does that mean for you? Only time will tell, but pay extra close attention to what happens in your life between May 13 and July 28. Although Jupiter will retrograde back into Aquarius for the rest of 2021, major events that occur within this window will set the tone for 2022, a year that is guaranteed to be monumental. How exciting!

Next, Gemini season begins on May 20. Even though Gemini is known to be a bit…well, flighty, you can actually relate to this sensibility. In fact, like Gemini (symbolized by the twins), you’re also represented by duality: Your zodiacal glyph is two fish swimming in opposite directions, so you totally get it! While others may get a bit frenetic during Gemini season, this astrological shift inspires you to find stable ground. Over the next few weeks, consider what makes you feel comfortable, protected, and nurtured. Is it a clean, organized environment? A good night of sleep, followed by an alarm-free morning? A warm bowl of pesto pasta? Sure, the safe choice may not be the most exciting, but that’s fine! Ultimately, this is about connecting with your wants and needs, tuning into what brings you a sense of security, so that no matter what happens, you can always come back to center. Don’t underestimate the importance of contentment!

Finding your personal cozy will prove to be especially timely because, the following week, 2021’s first eclipse rattles the sky. On May 26, the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius activates the area of your chart associated with reputation and legacy, so don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly presented with tons of exciting new opportunities that have the potential to take your career to the next level. Are you ready to take on more responsibility? Launch a new business venture? Grow your social media following exponentially? While this may sound fabulous theoretically, you’ll need to adjust for these cataclysmic changes emotionally, as well. Go easy on yourself, Pisces darling! After all, there are still two more eclipses in this series (on June 10 and December 4, respectively) so there’s plenty of time to figure everything out. One thing’s for sure: By the time this Gemini-Sagittarius eclipse series wraps up at the end of 2021, your life will be completely different, so be sure to hang on tight! This is bound to be wild ride.

Well, that about wraps it up…just kidding. May will prove to be a long month—especially because, on May 28, Mercury goes backwards. Yes, Pisces darling, you read that correctly: It’s time for yet another Mercury Retrograde and, through mid-June, this sassy planet will be wreaking havoc in all things communication, which includes (but is not limited to), your emails, DMs, text messages, verbal conversations, and even body language. Even the most obvious signals may feel opaque during this time, so don’t be afraid to ask for lots of clarification during Mercury’s backwards glide. Simple prompts like “can your rephrase that?” or “would you give me an example?” might seem superfluous, but they also may prevent situations from snowballing. When in doubt, remember to take things slow—after all, the planet is moving backwards; you have every reason to proceed with caution!
