Happy May, Scorpio. This month demands transformation. Can you let go of your anxious thoughts and embrace joy? It sounds easy, but sometimes clinging to toxic thinking patterns can be downright addictive. Last month brought a pretty but likely stressful eclipse. Thankfully, there are no major cosmic disruptions in May, but there is a demand to love and care for yourself, which can sometimes feel even harder than taking it easy.
The month starts with Pluto, one of your ruling planets and the harbinger of transformation, beginning its retrograde in the unconventional sign of Aquarius on Thursday, May 2. This transit directly affects your 4th House of Home and Family, urging you to carve out some personal space. While the 4th House can relate to family, blood or chosen, it also encourages you to communicate your need for solitude, especially if you share your living space. It's okay to seek alone time to recharge and reflect. If Scorpios are allowed to retreat into their hidey holes every now and then, they're less likely to use their stinger. The next day, on Friday, May 3, Pluto creates a sextile with your other ruling planet, Mars, which sees you feel energized, emboldened, and ready to connect with loved ones.
Continuing the renewed theme of connection, the new moon on Tuesday, May 7, in luxurious Taurus, heralds a period of fresh starts in your relationships. If you're casually seeing someone, don't be surprised if things become more serious. This can apply to romantic relationships as well as friendships. And, if you're in a long-term partnership, you can expect to enjoy a newfound passion that injects some NRE (new relationship energy) into something long and ongoing.
The following week, on Tuesday, May 14, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturing and the divine feminine, goes retrograde in diligent Capricorn. This transit speaks to a need to step back from the digital world and the constant bombardment of social media. As an emotional water sign, too much screen time can leave your nerves frayed, Scorpio. It’s a reminder that real-life interactions are what really feed your soul, as helpful as social media can be for staying connected with others.
Pallas, known as the asteroid of wisdom, is currently retrograde and enters your sign, Scorpio, on Thursday, May 16. This transit invites you to explore societal taboos, a realm where you naturally excel, whether it's by embracing your kinks or getting more tattoos. This period also challenges you to confront personal taboos, such as acknowledging and managing your anxieties or fears. Following themes from the previous week can also challenge you to spend less time doom-scrolling. While you can be bold in ways that intimidate others, you still have your own demons to work through, and taking the time to tackle them can require more courage than bold aesthetic choices.
Speaking of makeovers, Gemini season begins on Monday, May 20. The next few weeks are a powerful time for personal evolution, whether it’s adopting a trendy hair color or embracing aspects of your personality that you’ve kept under wraps. You're the sign of transformation, Scorpio, so don't be afraid to let yourself evolve.
Jupiter’s presence magnifies the possibilities for significant life changes.
While this month has so far been about personal evolution, there's a good chance for welcome professional or financial news during the full moon in adventurous Sagittarius on Thursday, May 23. While nothing is guaranteed in this economy, this lunar event might bring positive news related to your career or finances. So mark it down in your calendar and allow yourself to dream big. On this same date, sweet Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters Gemini and your transformative 8th House. This transit can spice up your intimate relationships, possibly introducing a passionate new love interest or rekindling the flames in an existing relationship.
Finally, on Saturday, May 25, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck, also enters Gemini and further enhances your welcome transformation that May brings. Jupiter’s presence magnifies the possibilities for significant life changes. Think of it as an amplifier to whatever is already going on. If a relationship is heating up, this transit fans the flames. If you're negotiating a deal at work, the stars help shift the power balance in your favor. Enjoy the prosperity, Scorpio, and we'll see you in June.
