The first half of May has you focused primarily on your daily routine—your job, your chores, your self-care routine, that kind of stuff. It’s important to be as productive as you can now, because on May 13, Venus Retrograde begins and Mars enters Pisces, both of which can be pretty heavy transits for you. You want to make sure you don’t have any drama making life more stressful than it already is.
Mars in Pisces and Venus Retrograde both last approximately six weeks. Action-packed Mars in watery, emo Pisces is making life at home way busier than usual, and the heat is turning up. This could be because you’re taking time to keep your place looking tidy, renovating your space, connecting with your roommates, or just getting in touch with your family… orrrrrrr it can manifest as sh*t breaking down around the house (like your fridge, microwave, and other appliances), tension between you and roomies, or drama with the fam. By being proactive and making an effort to keep everything at home in order, you can avoid most (if not all) of the stress from Mars in Pisces.
Venus Retrograde, however, is a whole ‘nother story. Venus is the planet of relationships, and it’s going retrograde in your chart’s zone of relationships—needless to say, all of your one-on-one connections (like with your bestie or your boo) are going to be a little wonky. This is a time meant to help you rework and reorganize your relationships by highlighting any issues in how you and the other person approach each other. Petty disagreements and minor differences are way more likely to get blown out of proportion now (and you’re already the qween of blowing things out of proportion, no offense, Sag). You’re pretty likely to run into an ex (or several exes) during Venus Retrograde, too. Instead of throwing your hands in the air and give up, try to view this time as an opportunity to get to know yourself and others better and resolve any issues.
Expect to get into a few arguments this month—work your very hardest to find a solution to the issues, and don’t start a huge fight over every little thing that goes wrong. Your sign loves to talk but often lacks in the “listening” department—keep in mind that a little compromise goes a long way during Venus Retrograde. Even if someone commits a dire transgression, be upfront about wanting to find a solution and allow them to share their perspective. This Venus Retrograde is primarily focused on your already-established relationships, the ones that matter, so just cutting someone off isn’t the wisest thing to do. On May 20, things may get out of hand, but if you’re patient with the other person (or if you apologize for whatever you've done wrong), then it should resolve in just a couple of days. This dramz will actually help your relationship become stronger, because you’re able to team up and work through it.
Finally, on May 28, Mercury, planet of communication, takes a dip into the quiet, introverted, emo water sign, Cancer, helping you cool off. Mercury in Cancer is an emotionally heavy transit for you—your deepest feelings are coming up to the surface, demanding to be acknowledged. If you’re still feeling some type of way about your relationship or any of that Venus Retrograde drama, you’re compelled to speak up about your emotions now. Resist the urge to lash out because of resentment or jealousy—remember, Sagittarius, this month’s conflict is a great opportunity to work through issues. Don’t bring up beef from the past that you’ve already tackled and squashed—what’s the point? You don’t have to forget what happened, but you can genuinely forgive others for what they’ve done. That way, this month will allow you to move on from the past, take on a more optimistic view of the future, and make your relationships much, much stronger.
