May 2021 Astrology Forecast

With Sun in Taurus with Uranus during most of May there's a lot of potential for seismic shifting, beginning with Mercury and the Sun in Taurus square to Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius May 3 at the Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius. With Venus and Uranus in Taurus as well, tension between the conservative need for stability and the radical need for freedom reaches a point where something's got to give. The question is: who gives, and how much?

Mars in Cancer sextiles Uranus and the New Moon in Taurus May 11, squaring Wounded Healer Chiron in Aries. Courageously take the initiative to share vulnerability and dare to move beyond hurt feelings to discover a new inner strength. Jupiter enters Pisces May 13 where he'll be through the end of July, enhancing our ability to forgive ourselves and each other. Transcendence is powerful possible May 17 at the Sun's trine to Pluto.

The drama, both personal and collective, really happens around the Full Super Blood Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius May 26. This eclipse hides the light of independence for a moment and lets us glimpse how dark a future without freedom might really be. Making peace with the past on a political level can't happen until people make peace with themselves on a personal level. With Sagittarius' ruler Jupiter square in Pisces, transcending the past means confronting that which we've repressed and denied. The winds of change can release us from spiritual doldrums, but only if we're willing to be honest with ourselves and each other. Venus square Neptune May 27: can you handle the truth?

Mercury in his home sign of Gemini makes a destabilizing conjunction to Venus before stationing retrograde May 29. Stay nimble and prepare for aftershocks; seismic shifts don't come without tectonic adjustments.
