A month of soft wake-up calls, big truth bombs, and money mindset shifts …

May kicks off with a dreamy haze and ends with you standing taller, clearer, and a whole lot wiser. This isn’t the kind of month that yanks the rug out from under you—but it will gently tug at the parts of you that need an update. From emotional revelations to fresh ideas that shake up your routine, you’re doing the deep work—whether you planned to or not. I am warning you because I love you.  Now, let me break it down….

 

Romance, Reflection, and Reframing

Right around May 2, Venus meets Neptune in your 1st house, and everything gets a little sparkly. You’re glowing, charm is turned all the way up, and you maybe even floating a bit. You could be feeling drunk in love or just vibing in your own dreamy bubble.  In any case the energy is awesome for love, creativity, self-expression, and refreshing your look. Just try not to make any permanent promises while under Neptune’s spell—you might not feel the same in a few days. I’m just saying because Neptune tends to cloud our vision at times.

 

By May 4, things start to deepen as Pluto stations retrograde in your 11th house. You might start looking more closely at your friendships or future goals. Are the people around you lifting you up—or just taking up space? No need to take drastic action. Just notice what feels off, and be open to shifting.

 

May 5 and 6 bring a powerful wave of clarity and healing. Mercury links up with Jupiter, then Chiron, right in your sign. These are days to say the thing you’ve been holding back. If there’s a conversation that needs heart, now’s the time to go for it. Venus also sextiles Pluto on the 6th, making you both charming and intense. Whatever you’re stepping into, do it honestly. People are drawn to the real you.

 

Grounding Yourself: Finances, Self-Worth, and Emotional Check-ins

Things shift on May 8 when Mercury enters Taurus, moving your mental focus to your 2nd house—money, stability, and values. You might start asking yourself: “Do I really need this?” or “Am I being paid what I’m worth?” You might find yourself looking at your budget and/or your boundaries, this is a month to tighten things up in a way that feels supportive, not restrictive.

 

The emotional temperature rises around the May 12 Full Moon in Scorpio, which lands in your 8th house of deep emotions and shared resources. Secrets could surface. Power dynamics might be revealed. Mercury squares Pluto that same day, and honestly, I think it could feel a bit intense. But these moments are where clarity lives. If something’s weighing you down emotionally or financially, now’s the time to chuck it.

 

Then on May 14 and 15, the Sun makes soft connections to the North Node, while Jupiter challenges it. You’re getting glimpses of what’s meant for you, even if you’re not sure how to get there yet. This isn’t about rushing. It’s about noticing the quiet whispers asking for your attention and letting it guide your next steps.

 

Sparks, Shifts, and Speaking Up

Expect a sudden aha moment around May 17 as the Sun meets Uranus in your 2nd house. This could be a flash of financial insight, a new business idea, or just a realization that you’ve outgrown a certain way of thinking about your worth. It may feel like a curveball—but it’s the good kind. The one that pushes you toward growth.

 

Watch your words on May 18, though. Mercury in your 2nd house squares Mars in your 8th, and it could get a little spicy, especially around money or emotional intimacy. You’re not wrong to speak up—just try not to let old wounds drive the conversation. Ask, “What do I really want to express?” instead of jumping into defense mode.

 

May 20 brings a beautiful mix of grounding and curiosity. The Sun forms a helpful sextile to Saturn and then moves into Gemini, waking up your 3rd house of communication. You’ll feel more mentally energized and ready to connect. If you’ve been feeling a little foggy or tired, this is where things start clicking again.

 

Charm, Courage, and a Whole New Chapter

May 22 is a beautifully electric kind of day. Venus in your sign trines Mars in your 5th house, lighting up confidence, creativity, and romantic courage. You’re magnetic. This is prime energy for dating, flirting, showing off your talents, or doing something bold just because it feels good. That same day, Mercury and the Sun both make beautiful, intuitive connections to the North Node and Neptune. Trust your instincts—they’re sharp and spiritually guided.

 

Then, on May 25, something major shifts. Saturn moves into Aries, your sign, for the first time in nearly 30 years. This marks the beginning of a longer cycle where you’ll be called to step up, take responsibility for your path, and build something solid. It’s not about pressure—it’s about power. Also on the 25th, Mercury moves into Gemini and sextiles Saturn, helping you communicate from a place of grounded authority. What you say now holds weight.

 

May 26 brings a New Moon in Gemini, offering a fresh start in your 3rd house. If you’ve been thinking about writing, teaching, launching a project, or just shifting how you think and speak—this is your moment to set those intentions. Start small if needed, if nothing else, my advice to you is to just start, NOW is the time.

 

Wrapping It Up: Aha Moments and Mental Mastery

As the month winds down, the clarity just keeps coming. On May 27, Mercury trines Pluto, bringing insight into long-term goals and powerful ideas. A few days later, on May 29, the Sun and Mercury meet in Gemini, which often sparks breakthrough thinking or important conversations. If something was cloudy earlier this month, this is where it clears up. I pinky promise.

 

You end May feeling different—I think in a good way.  You’ll feel stronger, more self-assured, and definitely more connected to what actually matters. You’ve let go of emotional weight, rewritten parts of your story, and started aligning your voice with your values. Let the universe (and your higher self) know—you’re ready.

 

Mantra for Aries in May:

✨ “I honor my growth. I speak with purpose. I build what lasts.” ✨

 

And as always, no matter what Aries, remember to keep your heart open and your spirit connected!

Ciao for now,
