Venus, the planet of love, pleasure, and beauty, has been occupying your chart’s intimacy zone for several weeks now, giving your sex life a major boost. On May 3, it forms a harsh square aspect to hazy Neptune, the planet of illusions. This is the kind of emotional rush you live for—you’re feeling veeeery romantic, your libido is through the roof, and if you’ve got a boo, you’re majorly vibing. This can be great if you’re in a relationship already, but if you’ve just started flirting with someone new, this transit may be troublesome.
You’re hooked on the way this person makes you feel, and the astro-weather on May 13 makes you want to pursue that pleasure even more, because energetic Mars is zooming into your chart’s zone of love, sex, and fun. This is a six-week transit that nuclear-powers your energy and amplifies your desire, but it’s important to keep in mind that Mars’ influence can be reckless. Venus also turns retrograde on May 13—this is another transit that lasts about six weeks. Since Venus rules love and pleasure, and retrogrades signify a time where the planet’s energy is all wonky, you’re even more likely to say “f*ck it” and just do what you want without thinking it through. Chasing short-term pleasure without taking long-term consequences into consideration can get you into a very, very messy situation if you’re not mindful.
Mindfulness and moderation are key to getting through May’s wild astro-weather unscathed. May 20 puts up a major roadblock that’s practically guaranteed to make you slow down. The Sun enters Gemini in your chart’s zone of intimacy, making you feel waaaay sensitive—and since you’re a water sign, you’re already very sensitive. All the pleasure you’re chasing feels even better, but if any problems arise, it’s capable of hurting you on a more serious level, too.
Also on May 20, Venus (now retrograde) forms another harsh square to Neptune. This planet carries a very vague influence that makes it easy for you to be misled or deceived, and it’s also great at dissolving boundaries. Since Venus is retrograde, the Neptunian illusion you’ve been experiencing all month long can be shattered when you run into those negative consequences you’ve been ignoring. Maybe you start to catch feelings for the dreamboat you’ve been flirting up with, and they cut things off out of nowhere. Maybe your love life is great but you’ve been focusing on other hedonistic activities, like drinking or drugging—May 20 is the day that you learn the value of restraint and self-control. Regardless of circumstances, this is a very extreme day, and afterwards, you’re going to want to take a long break from whatever it is that’s been taking up all your energy.
Flash forward to May 25, when Mars (still setting your chart’s love/pleasure zone on fire) forms a supportive sextile to Uranus, the planet of surprises and suddenness. This is a transit that encourages you to have a field day and do whatever you think is fun, and it’s directly correlated to your relationships. Pick someone you trust, like your boo or BFF, to have a good time with. They’re able to reel you in if you start to get too wild and rambunctious, but you can still end the month on a high note.
