May Moon Guide: From Cancer’s Calm to Gemini’s New Beginnings
The month of May begins with a New Moon in Cancer, which helps us ground ourselves and connect with our inner center. We feel more comfortable in our home environment and in the company of those closest to us.
This New Moon energy blends perfectly with the Sun in Taurus, enhancing our sense of comfort and security—an excellent way to start the month with serenity and recharged energy!
May 4 – Waxing Moon in Leo (14°), at 9:52 AM (EST time).
During this waxing moon, the Moon and Mars are joined in Leo, boosting our creative power and driving our projects forward! It’s a favorable time to maintain perseverance and take decisive action toward our goals.
On the same day, Pluto begins its retrograde motion in Aquarius, which may increase our questioning of the social roles we play.
May 12 – Full Moon in Scorpio (22°), at 12:55 PM (EST time).
The Full Moon in Scorpio brings a deeper intensity to events; our intuition sharpens, and we see things more clearly! But we must be careful not to let this penetrating perception lead us to hurt others with excessive honesty.
During this Full Moon, the Moon opposes the Sun, which is conjunct Uranus in Taurus—potentially bringing unexpected changes to our immediate reality. Be adaptable and flexible! Mars, Mercury, and Pluto also form a tense aspect with each other, calling for common sense, caution, and tolerance in our interactions.
May 20 – Waning Moon in Aquarius (29°), at 7:58 AM (EST time).
In April, we had a Waning Moon in the early degrees of Aquarius, and now once again we have the Moon waning in this sign, but this time at its final degree.
The last degree of any sign is considered a challenging one, often called a “critical degree.” It’s as if it represents a final moment to make a decision or take action before crossing the threshold into the next sign.
The Waning Moon at 29 degrees Aquarius leads us to question, more strongly and sincerely, our social roles—a questioning that actually began during the Waxing Moon on May 4, when Pluto went retrograde. What impact do our actions have on our environment? What do we need to cut out or change for things to flow more smoothly? The answers to these questions may help us define our direction more clearly.
May 27 – New Moon in Gemini (6°), at 11:02 PM (EST time).
At the end of the month, the New Moon in Gemini initiates a cycle in which reason should speak louder than emotion. It’s a phase of new beginnings, after all the questioning we’ve experienced up to this point.
We may also feel more open and creative—this is a good time to build bridges, strengthening our social contacts and commitments.
