Your Key Dates:

May 4: Take a risk, stir the pot

May 18: You’ll receive shocking news-but is it yours to share?

May 21: Take your career to the next level


You’re governed by Mercury, the quick-witted, fast-talking planet that rules communication and curiosities. Although your mind is always moving, you often prefer to stay still. You’re a creature of habit, so at the end of the day, you would rather play it safe than break out of your comfort zone. However, on May 4, the Sun and Moon meet in like-minded Taurus and you’re suddenly ready to go on a real adventure.

Venus-the planet of love and beauty-joins the party on May 15, which makes you even more motivated to pursue these unexpected explorations. Double down on your strengths by enrolling in course or program, or broaden your horizon by journeying to a faraway place. Challenge yourself, Virgo love. When you trust your intuition, you’ll discover that it’s not just about accumulating experiences-it’s also about following your heart. And now, especially that Venus is in the mix, one of these uncharted paths might lead to an incredible romance.

You often find yourself smack dab in the middle of some juicy gossip. Hey-it’s not your fault! But on May 18, during the full Moon in Scorpio, you may want to excuse yourself from the tea party. Under this electric sky, you’ll receive information that has the potential to create major waves. But do you trust it? This lunation is all about due diligence, so make sure your sources are legitimate before you make any major moves. Real emotions are on the line, so proceed with caution.

Finally, Gemini season begins on May 21. Although Virgo and Gemini don’t appear to have a lot in common, these two signs are cosmic cousins. They’re both governed by Mercury, and excel at different parts of communication. Over the next few weeks, take a page from Gemini’s book and send your energy outward, especially when it comes to growth in your career. Talk to your boss about a promotion, ask a friend for a professional introduction, or formalize a business plan to launch your own enterprise. Just make sure you’re wearing the right shoes-it’s time to climb that ladder straight to the top!
