Your May 2023 Horoscopes are Here!

It may be hard to believe, but summer is almost here. And with all the sunshine and warm days, you may be developing senioritis. Who wants to be in the office (or home office) when you can be sunbathing? There’s another reason for that feeling, too: We start off May right in the thick of Mercury retrograde. To add to that, there’s also a lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 5, so with all this action, you may feel disoriented. Don’t worry, though, because Mercury retrograde only lasts through May 14, and then we’ll be in the clear. Another important event this month is Jupiter’s entry into Taurus since the planet takes about one year to make its way through each sign. To find out what all this means for your zodiac sign, keep reading for your May horoscope below. 

 

The Month at a Glance

may calendar

May 5: A lunar eclipse in Scorpio starts off May with a bang. This is the last Scorpio eclipse for a while, but we still have one more Taurus eclipse in October to close out this eclipse series.

May 7: Venus enters Cancer on May 7. Venus in this water sign gives off a very emotional energy.

May 14: Mercury retrograde in Taurus is finally over on May 14. You can expect things to go more smoothly and to have fewer breakdowns in communication, travel, and technology.

May 16: Jupiter enters Taurus. Jupiter has been in Aries for a year, since May of 2022. Taurus is much slower paced and patient compared to Aries, so any changes you experience might take a little longer to play out. 

May 19: There’s a new moon in Taurus on May 19. Take a bubble bath, splurge on an item that’s been on your wishlist, or have a spa day to take advantage of Taurus’ luxurious spirit. 

May 20: Mars moves into Leo. While the planet is in this sign, don’t be afraid to take the spotlight and be the main character of your life.

May 21: Get ready for chaos—Gemini season begins on May 21. You may find it hard to focus on one thing or to follow through on anything you’re doing before bouncing on to the next activity.

Be careful not to overspend during Taurus season. Aries can be impulsive, so try to think things through before making any purchases you don’t really need. You should be especially wary around the lunar eclipse at the beginning of the month, as this could bring up money issues. On the flip side, you could receive some unexpected money thanks to family members or a raise at work. With your ruling planet, Mars, entering Leo, you might feel more confident expressing yourself through your style or artistic projects. If there are any hobbies you could turn into a side hustle, try it out now.

 

zodiac sign with constellation

Your season plus Jupiter entering your sign equals luck. Jupiter will be in your sign until May of 2024, so definitely take advantage of the planet’s expansive and optimistic energy. With Jupiter moving into Taurus and the new moon occurring in your sign on the 19th, you can expect plenty of new beginnings this month. Mercury has been retrograde in your sign for the past few weeks, so you’ll feel less foggy when it ends on the 14th.

 

zodiac sign with constellation

Use Taurus season as a time to relax before all the activity of Gemini season begins on May 21. Your ruler Mercury has been retrograde since the end of April, so you’ve probably had some difficulty with communication, which is typically your strong suit. You may have been feeling extra tired or down, but now that Mercury is going direct, you’ll start to snap out of it. The eclipse in Scorpio will help you get back on track with your daily routine, too. 

 

zodiac sign with constellation

Taurus season is about community for you. Whether you have tons of parties and dinner plans or you’re collaborating with coworkers, you’ll likely be busier than usual. Too much socializing can be draining for an introverted Cancer, so be sure to take some time to yourself for hobbies or just to chill. The new moon in Taurus could mean making new friends or meeting a lot of people at work events or social gatherings. 

 

zodiac sign with constellation

With the sun and new moon in Taurus this month, your attention will be turned toward your career. You could start a new job or be promoted in your current role. As a determined Leo, you tend to become hyper focused on a project or activity once you get into it, so try to find some time to hang out with friends or watch your favorite show to get your mind off of work. Mercury retrograde in Taurus for the past few weeks may have caused confusion or delays in your career, but that will come to an end when the planet goes direct on May 14.

 

zodiac sign with constellation

Taurus season will activate the part of your birth chart associated with travel, learning, reading, and writing. As a Virgo, you already have a way with words, but this is a particularly good time for you to focus on writing and communication projects. You might also be feeling the itch to take a trip, so start planning where you want to go next. Try to wait until after Mercury retrograde ends to actually jet off, though. Mercury is your ruler, so you’ll really be feeling this retrograde, and that could lead to travel disruptions and delays. 

 

zodiac sign with constellation

Your ruling planet, Venus, moving into Cancer on May 7 will add a dose of positivity to your career. Lean into that energy by taking on new opportunities at work or by applying to your dream job. Taurus season and Jupiter in Taurus will bring big money opportunities for you, so this is an ideal time to go after a raise or a position with a higher salary. 

 

zodiac sign with constellation

There’s an eclipse in Scorpio on May 5, and this is the last eclipse in your sign out of the Taurus/Scorpio series (there’s one more Taurus eclipse in the fall). You’ll probably start to notice changes in your personal life now that these eclipses are wrapping up. Taurus season and the new moon will highlight your relationships, too. You could make it official with someone you’re dating, or you might level up with your current significant other. 

 

zodiac sign with constellation

Your ruler Jupiter entering Taurus and this month’s new moon mean positive things for your health and daily life. You might find a new type of workout that you love that inspires you to exercise more often. This is a great time to try to develop a more structured routine, which is not your favorite thing as an impulsive Sag. You might not be feeling like your usual bubbly self around the eclipse in Scorpio at the start of May, so try to add some activities that will brighten your mood to your schedule.

 

zodiac sign with constellation

The eclipse in Scorpio and new moon in Taurus will teach you how to have work/life balance. You might realize you’ve become better at taking time off with this eclipse series over the past year. As a Capricorn, relaxing isn’t your favorite thing to do, but you can make it work for you by designating specific times to do fun things or by setting hard boundaries and not checking emails outside or work hours. Meditating or journaling could be a good way to clear your mind, too. 

 

zodiac sign with constellation

Get ready for some major career happenings this month with the eclipse in Scorpio. You might be closing out a chapter at work, or you could start to consider making a change to your career path. Taurus season is also about home and family for you, so they’ll be on your mind, too. Call your parents just to chat and catch up or book a trip to visit family. If you’re planning to move, Jupiter moving into Taurus is the perfect opportunity to search for your new crib. 

 

zodiac sign with constellation

You’ll have a lot going on with learning and communication during Taurus season. You may be considering going back to school, or you could develop a fascination with a subject and have to learn everything about it. Spend some time browsing a book store—you could find a new favorite genre. This will also be helpful energy for any writing or speaking you have to do.

I Investigated: How Taylor Swift Stays Fit Enough to Perform For 3 Hours Straight

Life on tour is grueling (or so I’ve heard), but Taylor Swift could’ve fooled us with her seemingly effortless stamina throughout her 3-hour “The Eras Tour” show (complete with seamless outfit changes on stage, might I add). It got me wondering how she performs her way through 44 hits from her 10 studio albums without so much as breaking a sweat or popping one of the sequins off her red-and-sequined-snaked Reputation look. So naturally, I scoured the internet for every tidbit I could find about her wellness routine.

Batch CBD: My Secret to Staying Productive After 50

Sponsored Post As I navigate through my PRIME years, I find myself living the most active days of my life. My ambitions are high, and I seem to find more fulfillment in staying busy and productive than I did during my younger years. However, living the active life that I love hasn’t exactly gotten easier. There is no denying that certain activities prompt aches and pains. Keeping a high energy level throughout the day isn’t always as easy as it used to be. “I was finally sleeping through the night, my body felt fresh during the day, and my mind felt peacefully focused. BATCH CBD has been part of my daily routine ever since.” I decided a few years ago to pursue a natural way to help my mind and body feel younger while I tackle my daily tasks. One day, I stumbled across BATCH by Wisconsin Hemp Scientific through their free CBD sample program . I had friends that had used CBD before, but I was always hesitant to try it myself. But I thought the opportunity to try a free sample was an...

September Empties: Honest Thoughts on The Products Our Team Finished This Month

We’re big fans of the YouTube Beauty Community here at The Everygirl. We’re constantly talking about our favorite creators, their best looks, and buying pretty much everything they recommend. The YouTube beauty world is honestly what we have to thank for some of the biggest trends in beauty—we’d never be baking our undereyes or curling our hair with straighteners or using  men’s post-shave balm as a primer  if it weren’t for the beauty YouTubers who taught us how.  Alongside the  various techniques YouTube  has taught us, the phenomenon of the ever-so-popular “empties video” has truly taken over our subscription feeds. Every beauty YouTuber has made an empties video (if not five), and everyone who even knows just a glimpse of beauty YouTube has seen one. The concept is simple: show everyone what’s in your trash and talk about if you loved it, if you’ll buy it again, and how long it took you to use up.  So being the beauty-lovers we are at TEG HQ, we decid...
