May 2024 Horoscopes
STAR OF THE MONTH
TAURUS
21 APRIL – 20 MAY
May is the best time of year to be a Taurus! Gifts, feasting, luxuriating like the God/dess you are. This is all essential when the planets are partying in your sign. Make hay while the Sun shines, though. With so much positivity available, you’d be remiss to let this good fortune slip through your fingers. As they say, use it or lose it – and the lucky flow will begin to ebb in the last week of the month. Make covert career moves early in the month, then focus on your big life goals after the New Moon.
GEMINI
21 MAY – 21 JUNE
Your curiosity is piqued as the month begins. So much for Gemini’s reputation as superficial; whether you are embarking on a travel adventure, committing to a course of study, or at a turning point in a publishing project, you are ready to risk it all and dive in deep. Your supporters, who believe in your potential, are ready to back you up if needed.
CANCER
22 JUNE – 22 JULY
Wishes come true for soft-bellied crabs. Take the lead on a simmering situation in your professional life early in the month and steer it in the appropriate direction. Snap-snap your formidable claws, if necessary. With that taken care of, you can fully enjoy the pleasant surprises offered by the New Moon. Hang out with your favourite friends and find ways of supporting each other.
LEO
23 JULY – 22 AUGUST
Are you ready to strut your stuff on the career ladder? It’s a delicate dance, but luck is on your side, so you can afford to take a professional risk. Self-belief is the key to your success,and there is someone special in your life who will remind you of your capabilities. If world domination is out of reach, you'll settle for public adoration.
VIRGO
23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER
You are captivated by the wondrous expanse of the world this month and long to fill your passport with stamps and your soul with wisdom. The planets suggest you may be lucky enough to find a customs official with an inkpad or encounter an ancient tree in the forest. Seek, and ye shall find – possibly via a Google search
LIBRA
23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and one of your key partnerships looks positively combustible. Whether it all goes up in flames or smoulders seductively like a femme fatale is up to you. (Ugh, I know, right? Pesky freewill.) It’s important for you to know the sexy undercurrents are real and not a figment of your rom-com-fed imagination.
SCORPIO
23 OCTOBER – 21 NOVEMBER
Home and family commitments are a focal point as May begins, asking you to activate and exercise your power and responsibility. You’ll get a lot done if you prioritise efficiency. Be careful in the kitchen; slow down to avoid burns and cuts. Partnerships look surprisingly dreamy, and the New Moon promises an exciting new chapter unfurling in your most important relationship.
SAGITTARIUS
22 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER
Feeling a little fried by all the (fabulous) projects and activities you have on the go? Too much good stuff is still too much, and this is your reminder to relax more by removing a few things from your plate. Delegate what you can to someone else and find techy solutions to free up valuable time and mental space. You’re likely to notice increased creativity and enthusiasm for your hobbies.
CAPRICORN
22 DECEMBER – 19 JANUARY
You are in serious creator mode this month. Inspiration is beaming down on you, rising up through your firmly grounded feet, and coming at you sideways. It’s propelling you, and you may feel like you’re walking a few inches off the ground. The New Moon suggests you need a new outlet for all this fertile flow, so take up a new hobby, find a new online haunt, and play some fun games.
AQUARIUS
20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY
Foundational matters are where you will flourish – whether you are landscaping a garden, exploring your ancestry, or beautifying your home. You are playing a key role in directing your family unit and will lead them to a successful milestone by the Full Moon. Don’t take things overly seriously, though. Delays are inevitable – perhaps even helpful – and there’s still plenty to celebrate.
PISCES
19 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH
The New Moon opens your mind to an influx of nourishing concepts downloaded from the ether. These messages will follow spiritual, but also potentially digital, pathways, so let go of preconceived notions of divine messaging. It is everywhere, in all forms, at all times. And speaking of no place to hide, the Full Moon is at the top of your chart. Step up and step out in your professional life. Even if you don’t want to, you will be seen. Only you will know that your truest magic remains safely hidden deep within.
ARIES
21 MARCH – 20 APRIL
With your ruling planet, Mars, rocketing through your sign, you are on fire – in a good way! Very early in the month, watch for escalating bravado and mischief in group situations. You can be the one to speak up and rein things in. The New Moon is auspicious for fresh financial opportunities and tapping into lucrative networks. Squirrel away some of your profit and head off somewhere exotic for a spiritual writer’s retreat or full-moon forest bathing session. Treating yourself to a luxurious yet mindful outing supports your mental well-being. True wealth is good health.
