Step into May with your Saturnine horoscope. Firstly, we’ll encounter a preliminary introduction to the celestial symphony of this period. After that, we will uncover what May 2024 has in store for each zodiac sign.
May emerges in the Venusian, gentle, and quiet Taurus Season, with a Sun that warms harmony, the connection with the earth, and the desire to feel at ease in one’s own space. It is the spring of flowers, scents, and pastel colors.
On May 21st, the Sun moves from the earthy Taurus to the airy Gemini, mercurial, strategic, fast. This is the sign of movement, duality, and all that opens up to diverse possibilities. The energies shift from a more static and maternal feeling to one more volatile and nomadic. There is more travel, more risk-taking, more engagement.
On May 23rd, Venus departs from its natural sign, Taurus, and enters the skies of Gemini, joining the Sun and burning with a desire for movement. It is a less traditional Venus that loves in different ways, appreciates the art of disguise, the carnival of souls.
On May 25th, there will be a significant shift in the heavens, as the semi-slow-moving planet Jupiter will leave the placid Taurus and officially enter the nomadic Gemini for a year. In Gemini, Jupiter will speak of an abundance that focuses on communication, urging everyone to connect and give voice to unexpressed emotions. In the skies of Taurus, the revolutionary Uranus remains, whose global battles aim at protecting our strong and fragile planet.
May will be a month dedicated primarily to communication and expressing what we feel inside. It will be a month whose energies will shout the word freedom, freedom to feel what we are, freedom to be ourselves, and even the freedom not to be, if we so choose. May urges us to use our voice for our own freedom.

Taurus (22 April – 30 May)
The Sun, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus all engage in a sensual yet revolutionary, radiant, and explosive dance in your sign. It’s your season; the Sun begins a new cycle, and with it, you are ready to tread new paths. This new dawn, the square of Pluto, and the sextile of Neptune all strike a chord that resonates with movement and freedom. Even though you cherish your roots and are wary of sudden changes, this month will push you beyond your limits. Driven by events beyond your control, you will find yourself on unknown paths, making bold decisions, and severing ties with a past that no longer reflects who you are. Revolutionary changes in love await, but it is up to you to choose who deserves to be by your side.
Taurus, this month, your sign becomes the epicenter of cosmic activity, drawing a vibrant constellation of celestial bodies into your orbit.

Let the cosmic dance in Taurus inspire you to break free from the past and courageously step into a future where you are the master of your destiny, surrounded by those who truly value and uplift your spirit.
Gemini (21 May – 21 June)
May begins with the setting of your solar cycle and ends with a new dawn. You thrive when life is in motion, for stagnancy is not to your liking. It is also the dawn of Jupiter’s transition into your sign, which leaves Taurus at the end of the month and comes to you, preparing you to tackle any challenge with your swift mind. It’s a misconception that Jupiter solely brings fortune, or takes it away when it departs: Jupiter can show you that the pursuit of happiness is crucial, and now you’re ready to embrace it fully. It doesn’t matter what is right or wrong; you now know what you need to feel complete and you will not shy away from pursuing it. You will use your voice to resolve unfinished business and complex situations, and love will once again grace your skies.
May marks not just the end of one personal cycle but also the beginning of another, significantly more vibrant and dynamic chapter for you, Gemini. As Jupiter transitions from Taurus into your sign, the shift in cosmic energy propels you towards new challenges and fresh adventures. Jupiter’s arrival in Gemini enhances your natural curiosity and adaptability, energizing you to pursue your quests with greater fervor.
Expect to use your voice not just in personal matters but also in broader discussions. The discussions you engage in may lead to resolutions of longstanding issues or the clearing of misunderstandings. As the month winds down, the renewed presence of love in your life could take on a more profound significance, providing both comfort and challenge, as you navigate the complexities of closer emotional connections.
Cancer (22 June – 23 July)
The square from Mars would have you less emotional and more inclined to action. Yet, numerous sextiles remind you that emotions and feelings cannot be controlled but must be accepted and integrated. Between the two contenders, the third enjoys: let yourself be carried by the wisdom of Saturn and Neptune in trine, which invite you to build structure through chaos. May will bring highs and lows, and in this swing of events and emotions, you are invited to find a center to focus on and not lose direction. Love will pamper you; it will be your safe harbor. Yet, the stormy sea may also draw you, and there, outside the safe zone, you will discover new opportunities.
The dichotomy of emotional withdrawal versus engagement will be a theme for you this month. While Mars pushes for assertiveness and quick decisions, the sextiles encourage a gentler, more reflective approach. Finding a balance between these energies will help you maintain your course, especially in personal relationships, where you might feel the urge to retreat to safe waters yet are compelled to explore uncharted territories.
Love serves as both a sanctuary and a challenge in May. It provides comfort and security, reinforcing your emotional defenses against the storms outside. However, it also invites you to venture into the more turbulent aspects of intimacy,those that require vulnerability and risk. This dual aspect of love can lead to profound growth and the discovery of new emotional landscapes.
Embrace May as a time to harness the lessons of the stars. Allow the protective circle of Saturn and Neptune to guide your emotional ship, making room for both self-preservation and adventurous exploration in your personal and emotional life. As you navigate the highs and lows, remember that every challenge is an opportunity to expand your horizons and deepen your connections.
Leo (23 July – 23 August)
May will be a month brimming with stimuli, events, changes, and movements. No fewer than six planets are in dialogue with you. Many interact with your sky, some harmoniously, others shouting, and still others wish you would listen, but you are too busy. Some, like the opposition from Pluto, push you silently and slowly towards a profound change: there is no rush, take your time, but begin to question which parts of yourself you are not listening to enough. You may feel trapped, especially in relationships that demand your presence and patience, yet you yearn to explore freely. The square from Jupiter is drawing to a close, and with it, those situations you did not want to deal with but will now force you to a resolution.
The opposition from Pluto stands out in its significance this month, serving as a quiet, persistent force nudging you towards introspection and transformation. Pluto’s influence is subtle yet powerful, urging you to peel back the layers of your persona and confront the parts of yourself that have been neglected or suppressed. This is a time for profound self-discovery, where the slow unraveling of old patterns can lead to significant personal renewal. You may experience a sense of confinement in certain relationships, where demands for your time and energy conflict with your desire for independence and adventure. This can create internal tension as you struggle to balance the need for connection with the need to explore your individuality.
As Jupiter’s square begins to wane, you are compelled to address these tensions head-on, pushing you towards making decisions that could reshape your personal and professional landscapes. As you navigate this busy and transformative month, Leo, remember that each planetary dialogue in your chart is an invitation to grow, to expand, and to redefine your boundaries. Embrace the chaos of change as an opportunity to liberate yourself from what no longer serves you, making room for new experiences that resonate more deeply with who you are becoming. This is a time to be bold and courageous, traits that are second nature to you, as you dance with the stars and shape your destiny with the roar of a lion.
Virgo (24 August – 22 September)
Seven planets communicate with you in this radiant month. Seven, like the wonders of the world, the seas, the days of the week, the virtues, and the deadly sins. The number seven has long been associated with completed cycles, spirituality, and awareness, and for you, this will be a month of reflections and enlightenments on who you are and what makes you feel alive. The trine of the Sun, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus warms your sky and pushes you to authorize yourself to fulfill your desires. Saturn’s opposition is always there, and you have grown accustomed to it, even though the challenges have been many, each has brought you to where you are now. And now is the perfect time for change. A new love might awaken doubts about current situations; let yourself be carried away by instinct.
May unfolds for Virgo as a tapestry woven with celestial influences, each planetary interaction serving as a thread that either tightens or expands the fabric of your existence. With seven planets engaging with your sign, this month becomes a profound symphony of cosmic interactions that resonate with the vibrations of spiritual awakening and personal introspection.As you encounter the stirring energies of new love or deepening relationships, these celestial influences invite you to question and possibly redefine your current emotional engagements. The doubts that arise are not to be feared but embraced as signposts guiding you towards more authentic connections. Saturn’s stern lessons coupled with the liberating forces of Jupiter and Uranus create a unique opportunity for Virgo to recalibrate life’s priorities and align more closely with your true self.
This month, as you dance through a spectrum of sensations and possibilities, allow your instinct to lead. It’s time to let the intuitive part of you take the reins, guiding you through the complexities of relationships and personal aspirations. Embrace the uncertainty that comes with profound change, knowing that each step forward is a step toward a more fulfilled and authentic existence. The planetary alignment in May promises not just growth but a renaissance of the spirit, urging Virgo to live with intention and embrace the full spectrum of life’s offerings.
Libra (23 September – 23 October)
You feel as though you must run, as if there’s no more time available even though you crave a slower, calmer, endless pace. If you throw away all the clocks and stop watching the time, time itself ceases to exist. This is exactly what you’ll do this spring month: you will let go of definitions, closures, and pressures and trust in instinct, scents, sensations, and those ideas that lack structure but are vibrant with life. By the end of the month, you will feel the energies of the trines of the Sun, Venus, and even Jupiter, dancing together with Pluto in the Air triad. Love, work, and creativity will soar, making you feel light, free, and finally alive.
As you navigate through May, you will find yourself increasingly attuned to the subtle cues of your environment and your innermost feelings. The usual barriers of time and obligation begin to blur, encouraging you to explore life’s possibilities without the constant glance at the clock. This freedom from time allows you to delve deeper into experiences that feed your soul and spark your creativity.
The celestial configuration towards the end of the month further enhances this sense of liberation. The trines involving the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter create a harmonious backdrop that amplifies your natural inclination towards balance and beauty, while also encouraging growth and expansion in personal and professional realms. These aspects infuse your daily life with a sense of joy and abundance, making each moment feel expansive and full of potential.
Embrace this month as a dance with the stars, where each step teaches you more about yourself and the universe around you. Let May be a time of beautiful contradictions where you are both grounded in your essence and free to explore the uncharted territories of your spirit. As you close the month, you will likely find that what once seemed like fleeting moments of joy have woven themselves into a sustained experience of genuine happiness and fulfillment.
Scorpio (23 October – 23 November)
Five planets will oppose your skies this month. They call for transparency, lightness, and enjoyment, but you are not ready to embrace them because too many unresolved issues still clutter your mind. Some truly need resolution, while others should be released, as there is a right time for everything and perhaps now is merely the right time to dream, to indulge in illusions, and to be enchanted by the impossible. After all, Neptune’s trine continues to remind you that even the impossible can become possible.
This month, you are also invited to consider the beauty of the impossible. What once seemed unattainable or unrealistic may now begin to appear within reach, thanks to Neptune’s mystic influence. This is an excellent time for Scorpios to engage in creative projects, delve into spiritual pursuits, or simply allow themselves to daydream without the pressure of pragmatism.
As you navigate through May, try to cultivate a sense of lightness amidst the pressures. Allow yourself to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and perhaps discover that in letting go of the weight of unresolved issues, you can find a new way to resolve them. By the end of the month, you might find that the act of embracing a lighter, more transparent approach not only clarifies your dilemmas but also enriches your relationships and personal growth. Embrace the paradoxes of your existence this month, knowing that sometimes, the path to clarity is found in embracing the enigmatic and the ephemeral.
Sagittarius (23 November – 21 December)
This month, there is no longer just black or white – your experiences are filled with nuances. Your arrow will not follow its usual, straight trajectory but will perform some pirouettes, deviations, and unexpected pauses. You lose your bearings, forget the goal, and get distracted. It is precisely in the confusion of Saturn’s square that you rediscover something more precious than any precise plan: the beauty that does not obey physical laws, the beauty of unpredictability. Many planets oppose you towards the end of the month, but Mars’ trine assists you as you let the unexpected happen. Perhaps love will bring some tears: taste them, they are not so bitter.
As many planets take positions that oppose yours towards the end of the month, you might feel challenged or even opposed by external circumstances or people. Yet, the trine from Mars injects a surge of energy and courage into your veins, encouraging you to embrace these challenges as catalysts for growth. This aspect empowers you to move through uncertainty with grace and assertiveness, allowing you to harness the unpredictable and turn it into a strength.In matters of the heart, the unpredictability might stir emotional waters, and yes, tears may flow. But as you taste these tears, you realize they carry the salt of wisdom and the sweetness of growth. They are not signs of defeat, but of your heart’s capacity to feel deeply and transform pain into something profoundly human and binding.
Embrace May’s complexity, Sagittarius. Let the unexpected twists and turns become your dance floor. With Mars’ support, step into the rhythm of life’s surprises with confidence and let your heart guide you through the nuanced spectrum of experiences this month offers. In doing so, you may find that what seemed like deviations were actually paths leading you closer to your true self.
Capricorn (22 December – 20 January)
You feel good. You feel strong. You feel complete, even when something is missing. In short, you feel like a Capricorn. The square from Mars doesn’t disrupt you much, as neither obstacles nor difficulties overshadow your clear skies. You usually always know where you’re going, but if you were no longer sure, it wouldn’t shift you because you are now engaged in a new mission: to live in the present and experience all its nuances, smells, colors, and sounds. Love fills all the free spaces in your life and even though you try not to let the butterflies in your stomach take over, you can’t help but melt like snow in the sun.
Your usual forward-looking perspective shifts slightly as you find joy in the present. Instead of constantly planning the next step, you indulge in the present, soaking in its rich details and simple pleasures. This new approach doesn’t mean you’re lost; rather, it signifies a fuller engagement with life, a willingness to experience each moment as fully as possible.Love becomes a significant theme for you this May. It seeps into the quiet moments and the spaces between your ambitious strides. While you might typically guard your emotions closely, this month sees you embracing vulnerability. The warmth of love melts your usual reserve, encouraging you to open up to its transformative power.
As you navigate this month, you’ll discover that letting go of some control can lead to profound personal growth and happiness. Love, in its many forms, will not only fill the gaps in your schedule but also the spaces within your heart. By allowing yourself to feel fully and live in the now, you’ll find that life’s complexities are not just challenges to be managed but experiences to be cherished.
Enjoy this dance with the present, Capricorn, where every sensory detail enriches your journey, and love acts as both anchor and sail, guiding you through May’s promising days.
Aquarius (21 January – 19 February)
Highs and lows, light and darkness. The wheel of your existence spins wildly, showing you situations from different, often opposite, perspectives. Thus, you often change your mind, retrace your steps, pause, and then race forward again, skipping steps, flying ahead. Remember that you are the sign that, with Pluto slowly transiting, gives its name to this modern era, full of contradictions, but also full of many hopes for a different future. With this positive and forward-looking spirit, you also look at your life and commit to redefining boundaries, both those that should not be crossed and those that must be broken. You arrive at the end of the month perhaps a bit tired but happy not to have given up in the glorious quest for harmony.
Your ability to adapt is tested as you redefine what boundaries mean to you. Some boundaries are there to safeguard your well-being, while others are outdated limits that stifle your growth. In the dance of expansion and constraint, you learn the importance of discernment – knowing when to hold back and when to push forward. By the end of the month, you might feel the weariness of a journey well-traveled, but there is a profound satisfaction in knowing you have not shied away from the quest for balance and harmony.
You have actively engaged with life’s complexities, seeking not just to find peace but to create it. Your journey is as much about finding harmony within as it is about contributing to the world’s equilibrium.In this kaleidoscope of experiences, Aquarius, you find that the truest harmony often comes from embracing the full spectrum of life’s possibilities, allowing yourself to be both a creator and a creation of the times.
Pisces (20 February – 20 March)
Saturn and Neptune remain steadfast in your sign, with a sextile from the Sun, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus while Mercury joins them later. Towards the end of the month, a few squares will demand extra effort in communication. Particularly Jupiter, which on the penultimate day of the month, transforms the fortunate sextile into a more challenging square. The lesson for you will be to find the right way to express your emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Meanwhile, in this radiant month, your mission is to dedicate yourself to love, whether it’s love received or love you might give. Slow down your projects, ease your responsibilities, and devote yourself to passion.
As the month progresses, however, the celestial harmony is challenged by squares that test your ability to articulate your deepest inner truths. The shift of Jupiter at the month’s close from a supportive sextile to a demanding square places particular emphasis on your communicative skills. This transition calls you to refine how you express your nuanced emotions and thoughts, pushing you to bridge the gap between feeling and articulation.
This month, your focus is drawn powerfully towards matters of the heart. The cosmic emphasis on your emotional realm invites you to explore the depths of love in all its forms. It’s a time to receive love with gratitude, to give love with generosity, and to embrace the passion that life offers.
As the planets encourage you to slow down and reduce your usual commitments, they invite you to immerse yourself fully in the experiences that stir your soul. In embracing this softer pace, you are encouraged to let go of the hustle of daily responsibilities and indulge in the pleasures that feed your spirit. This alignment offers a rare chance to reconnect with the aspects of life that truly matter, relationships, art, and personal fulfillment. As you navigate the complex interplay of planetary influences, let your intuitive nature guide you. Trust in your ability to sense the right moments to speak your heart and when to listen, to act and when to pause.
