Your May 2019 Horoscope Is Here & It's Time To Enjoy The Fruits Of Your Labor

by Valerie Mesa

Stop and smell the roses. May is here, and the thought of kicking back and reveling in the beauty of springtime has never felt so right. In case you're wondering, I've got your May 2019 horoscope right here, and it's filled with so many feels, but before diving into the individual predictions, let's take a closer look at the month ahead, shall we? Aries season kicks off during the spring equinox, a symbol of brand-new life. Taurus season, on the other hand, is when the seeds begin to take root and the energy of spring reaches its peak.

May is a fertile month, both physically and spiritually speaking. It's no wonder people all over the world, starting with our ancestors, honor the essence of spring by celebrating with rituals and fertility festivals such as Beltane. With the sun beaming through earthy Taurus for the majority of the month, there's an innate desire to be present in the "here and now" and simply just be. Those born under the sign of the bull often come across as languid and slow-moving. However, when you look at the energy of Taurus from a physical standpoint, it prefers to see the world through the five senses. After all, the soul of the Taurus believes there's something so much greater than the things we possess in the third dimension.

Rebellious Uranus, planet of revolution and unexpected change, first entered Taurus back in March, but with the sun traveling currently through the same sign, you'll now feel more clarity on the changes headed your way. Taurus represents values, practicalities, security, comfort, and sensual pleasures, and during this this seven-to eight-year cycle, you'll experience a revolution in regard to your finances, money-making abilities, and values. Truth is, you never know what you're going to get with electric Uranus, so expect the unexpected.

Nevertheless, here's what the enchanting month of May has in store for you, according to your zodiac sign:

Aries: You're Embracing The Unknown

One thing at a time, Aries. With your ruling planet Mars in Gemini for the majority of the month, your energy is more scattered than usual, and you're likely more focused on running errands and getting things done. This is powerful energy for communication, but make sure you use your words carefully, as you can easily run into some heated debates during this time. There will be a new moon in Taurus on May 4, bringing new beginnings to your second house of values, finances, and self-worth. You know your values are changing, but what makes you feel confident in your skin? This is a great time for self-care and indulging in the things that bring you pleasure. Mercury and Venus will activate this area of your chart shortly after, so themes related to money, beauty, and your personal aesthetic will certainly be top of mind.

Mars enters Cancer on May 15, igniting your domestic fourth house of home, family, and soul foundation. This will provide you with enough energy to invest in your humble abode, whether it be re-decorating or focusing on your loved ones. The full moon in Scorpio on May 18 will highlight your eighth house of sex, transformation, and shared resources. Think back to the new moon in Scorpio in November 2018. You could come face-to-face this month with revealing truths regarding your family, or a prominent authority figure in your life.

Taurus: You're Going With The Flow

This is your solar revolution, Taurus. Are you celebrating yet? There will be a new moon in your sign on May 4, bringing new beginnings to your overall sense of self, and perhaps even your personal appearance, and I highly suggest you take advantage of the new moon to set your intentions.

Mercury enters your sign on May 6, but with Uranus in the mix, I also suggest you double and triple check your ride. See, Curious Mercury rules transportation, and Uranus is notorious for unexpected surprises, so you do the math. Besides, it doesn't hurt to play it safe. With your ruling planet Venus in Aries for the majority of the month, you're likely feeling a bit more introverted in the love department, but not for long, as luscious Venus will pirouette her way into your sign on May 15. This is everything, Taurus. Venus thrives when in your sign, and so will you. Later that day, Mars enters Cancer, your chatty third house of communication and local community. Ready to launch that project via social media? Do your due diligence, but make sure you watch what you say! Mars is hot-headed, and in Cancer, an emotional wreck.

The full moon in Scorpio on May 18 will activate your seventh house of relationships and committed partnerships. Think back to the new moon in Scorpio in November 2018. Pay attention, Taurus. Secrets will be revealed.

Gemini: You're Soul Searching

Time for a much-needed break, Gemini. With your ruling planet buzzing through you eleventh house of teams, tribes, and friendship groups this past month, you likely made an impression on your extended network.

Although, with the new moon in Taurus illuminating this area of your chart, you're probably already looking for that inner peace. It's well deserved, Gemini.

On May 15, Venus joins the sun and Mercury in this area of your chart, and hot-headed Mars slides into Cancer, igniting your second house of values, income, and self-worth. Are you trying to make more money? Aggressive Mars is here to provide you with enough energy to make that happen. Just make sure you don't make any impulsive purchases during this time, as Mars is notorious for going overboard. Then again, this is a good time to revel in the things that bring you comfort, so carpe diem!
