#382 - Weekly Energy Update for May 4 - 11: May Astrology

Happy May and welcome to a whole new energy! After months of intensity and buildup, we’ve entered brand-new astrological territory. The planets are in configurations we’ve never experienced in our lifetimes, and it all starts to shift with Pluto stationing retrograde in Aquarius on May 4th. Pluto in Aquarius is one of the biggest transits of our time—linked to revolution, technology, and human rights—and now that it’s retrograde, we’re invited to reflect deeply on societal structures and our inner transformation. We’re not just watching the world change; we’re evolving right alongside it.

We’re still in Taurus season, which is helping us slow down and find solid footing. Mercury moves into Taurus on May 10th, supporting planning and organization. Then, on May 12th, we experience a powerful Full Moon in Scorpio—an emotional, transformative moon that asks us to shed what no longer fits. Think truth bombs, soul searching, and maybe even some release through tears… or pleasure. This Full Moon reminds us we’re in the year of the snake, constantly shedding skin to become more aligned with our authentic selves.

Later in the month, the pace picks up. Gemini season begins on May 20th, and the Sun joins lucky Jupiter in Gemini—ushering in joy, fun, and possibility. This lightness is much needed, because what follows is a huge energetic shift: Saturn moves into Aries on May 24th. For the first time in 29 years, the planet of structure and discipline enters the sign of action and new beginnings. This is a massive collective and personal reboot. Reflect on what was happening in your life 29 years ago—there are echoes of that time now, but with a higher level of awareness and evolution.

Everything is new this summer, and May is just the beginning. As Mercury moves again into its home sign of Gemini on May 25th and is followed by a vibrant Gemini New Moon on May 26th, we close the month with excitement, curiosity, and a reminder that the universe has a beautiful plan. This New Moon is one of the best of the year—perfect for setting intentions that align with innovation, joy, and big ideas. It even gives us a sneak peek of the Uranus in Gemini energy that’s coming later this summer. Things are shifting fast, but we’re ready for it.

This month is a powerful invitation to reflect, realign, and rise. With Pluto retrograde, a Scorpio Full Moon, and Saturn starting a brand-new 29-year cycle, we are living through a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic reboot. Use this time to reconnect with your authenticity, revisit your vision, and reset your energy. Let the grounded energy of Taurus support you, let Gemini season inspire you, and trust that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. You were made for this moment.
