Your May Horoscope: Dreaming and Soul-Searching

With warmer days, outdoor get-togethers, and the long Memorial weekend to close it all, what’s not to love about May? As we move from slow-moving Taurus season, into light and bright Gemini season, it’s likely we’re all starting to feel some major summer fever. Plus, now that three planets are currently retrograde at the same time (Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn), there will be some intense focus on self-reflection.

This May kicks us off with a new moon on May 4, in the sign of Taurus—one that encourages us to try new things and achieve our wildest dreams. (By the way, if you’re looking to bring a little extra magic to this already enchanting new moon, we’ve got the perfect Taurus new moon candle ritual for you.)

Later in the month, a full moon hits on May 18, in the sign of Scorpio—the sign of the underworld. Because of its darker nature, Scorpio moons encourage us to dig deep into our “shadow selves.” So, expect to feel a little uneasy as you uncover things you don’t ~really~ want to get into. But never fear, our full moon in Scorpio bath ritual will help you face that “scary” side of you.

Finally, as we close May with the long Memorial Day weekend, this will be a perfect time to enjoy peace.
