Your Monthly Horoscopes: May 2026

• New moon in Taurus (5/16): invest in a new skill
• Full moon in Sagittarius (5/31): weekend getaway

Your sign gets a lot less crowded as May goes on, which takes off some of the pressure of last month. Money is more of a focus this month as you realize your ability to take action depends upon steady resources. After Mars squares Jupiter on the 4th you’re feeling much lighter and more optimistic. The new moon in your financial sector resets your relationship with money for the year and has you investing more in your neighborhood and community. Venus in Cancer midmonth brings sweet moments at home as you rest a bit from such a busy spring.

Love Horoscope: If you’re looking to connect romantically this month, head to your local library or trivia night pub. Keeping it close to home and engaging in witty banter fits perfectly with Venus in Gemini’s vibe. When Venus enters Cancer midmonth you may feel a little reclusive and it’s fine to lean into it. June brings excitement to your dating sector so you won’t miss out on romance this summer. 

Money Horoscope: The beginning of the month has you thinking about finances as Mercury moves through your money sector from May 2 - 16. The new moon in your money house is the perfect opportunity to launch a new budget for the next year.

Mars will help guide your resources until the end of June, so you’re likely to stay consistent this time.

This month is steadying after a tumultuous April. Mercury in your sign for the first half of the month is the perfect moment to get grounded and figure out your game plan for the summer and the rest of the year. A new moon in your sign on the 16th is a nice reset to put that plan into action. Uranus entering your money house last month may have you restless to make changes in how you bring home the bacon. When Mercury meets up with Uranus on the 17th and the Sun follows up on the 22nd, there will be a clearer picture for your next steps. 

Love Horoscope: There’s a full moon in your relationship sector on the first day of the month. It’s a potent time to check how far you’ve come in that area since last November. Whatever your reflections are, you’ll be empowered to take a more leading role when Mars enters your sign on the 18th.

Money Horoscope: Your money planet makes its annual visit to your money house from May 16 - June 1, steering the ship but also negotiating with a new guest.

With Mercury in your sign, you radiate both confidence and competence, with the mental stamina to navigate anything. 

Love Horoscope: The end of the month is definitely the moment of love and connection for you Gemini when the Sagittarius full moon has you indulging in romantic connection. There’s a lot of self-development this month, so honoring the people showing up for you at the full moon can balance the attention.

Money Horoscope: When Venus joins Jupiter in your money house on the 18th, you begin a peak period of financial matters for the year.

The Scorpio full moon on the 1st falls in the area of your chart dedicated to pleasure, so please do whatever you want. The pressure at work dissipates a bit this month and you connect more with your social circles. A sweet new moon has you thinking about what truly gives you a sense of purpose and direction. The Sagittarius full moon highlights how hard you’ve been working, so make sure you’re also allowing time for rest. 

Love Horoscope: The Scorpio full moon in your space of pleasure and dating is fun for a hot minute, but you’re more tuned in with the long haul in relationships. You’re motivated by finding the one or enlivening your current relationship to make sure it lasts. If said relationship is getting put on the back burner, make sure to go on a date around the 28th so it doesn’t feel neglected.

Money Horoscope: Your financial house has windfalls on the horizon, but it’s not quite the focus of this month. Pluto stationing retrograde in the house of debts may have those student loan payments starting up again. It’s nothing you can’t handle. When Jupiter rolls into your money house next month it’ll be a whole new story. 

• Full moon in Scorpio (5/1): check on your parents
• New moon in Taurus (5/16): your boldest ambitions
• Full moon in Sagittarius (5/31): girls just wanna have fun
• Your money planet in your career house (May 2 - 16): monetize your art

Leo, you’re in a particularly extroverted part of the year. The planets are moving through the most visible parts of your chart, and you may feel like you’re never at home this month. Whether it’s at professional or social tasks, you’re very engaged in the world around you. The full moon at the beginning of the month highlights your living situation, but if that’s not feeling great right now, you’re likely to devote yourself elsewhere. Your career is really the focus this month, so try giving some structure to your ambitions. 

Love Horoscope: The month starts off with Pluto stationing retrograde in your relationship house, meaning some big feels and an uncomfortable conversation might have you feeling off your game. By the end of the month though, the Sagittarius full moon lights up your house of pleasure and romance, restoring your confidence and charisma. 

Money Horoscope: Your money situation is definitely up this month. Your money planet moves through your career house the first part of the month, questioning if your current work is supporting you. When Mercury moves into Gemini on the 16th, you’re able to leverage technological innovations and unconventional ideas to feel more confident in your financial life.  

• Full moon in Scorpio (5/1): check in on your siblings
• New moon in Taurus (5/16): plan a summer vacation
• Full moon in Sagittarius (5/31): play host
• Your ruling planet in your career sector (May 16 - June1): girl boss

Your career is changing, and this month that story will continue to reveal itself. By far the most potent time will be mid-month when Mercury, your ruling planet, moves into your career sector and slams into Uranus. Cue the creative disruption. At the same time sweet Venus enters your house of friendship, so it’s also time to reconnect with friends and family. Connect with all of them by hosting for the Sagittarius full moon at your place. 

Love Horoscope: Your relationship houses are quiet this month while lots of energy is being spent on your life’s work. After the eclipses of March and the Mercury retrograde, you’re processing all that happened and maybe taking a break from the dating apps. 

Money Horoscope: Venus, your money planet spends the first half of the month in your career sector, meaning you want to be making money from your true calling, not just your day job.

• Venus in your career sector (May 18 - June 13): ask for a raise

As the pileup of planets in your relationship sector dissipates, you’ll be figuring out what to do in many areas of life all at once. You are adjusting your plans for the rest of the year to reflect the personal developments that have occurred in the last several months. This likely means a consideration of finances and who you share resources with. If boundaries need to be drawn or you’re ready to make deeper commitments, by mid-month you’ll feel confident in where you are heading next.

Love Horoscope: There are still a significant number of planets in your relationship area as the month begins. If it’s been feeling heavy, levity will arrive when Mars meets up with Jupiter on the 4th. Mercury confronting Pluto on the 5th may have you asking big questions to get to the heart of things. Mars entering Taurus on the 18th is ready to make commitments. 

Money Horoscope: A full moon in your money house on May 1 means personal finances are definitely a topic for this month. When Mercury enters your house of shared resources and debts on the 2nd, you’d be well advised to spend some of its two weeks there making sure you have a solid financial plan.

You’re taking a deep look in the mirror and building a relationship with who you are now. How others reflect the current you or try to hold you to the standards of the past is something to wrestle with this month, especially from the 18th onward. Feel free to step back from other people’s projections and not engage.

Love Horoscope: Love is on the brain when Mercury enters your relationship house on the 2nd, and will remain as you think about what you need from a relationship until the 16th.

Mars enters your daily labor sector on the 18th, and you’re ready to work hard at work worth doing. Respecting the limits of your body and feeding it well are key to maintaining forward momentum. The full moon at the end of the month in your sign has you realizing how far you’ve come and how much work you’ve done on yourself since the Sag new moon last December. Reflect on the wins you’ve achieved before you move on to the next thing.

Love Horoscope: Your relationships are about to get exciting but maybe not super stable.

Now is the time to start thinking outside the box with regards to what kind of a relationship fits your identity best.

In the background, work is getting a little annoying and things you used to be able to tolerate might be getting under your skin. It’s a mixed bag of a month but nothing you haven’t dealt with before.   

Love Horoscope: You are definitely in a peak romantic period this month and into June as well. Mercury and then Mars in Taurus have you flirting and full of confidence to make the first move. When Venus joins Jupiter in your house of partnership, you’ll know the feelings are real. The love you receive is well earned, Capricorn, so just say yes.

After the month starts with a full moon that highlights your professional accomplishments, you may feel pulled to take a step back from work and spend more time at home during Taurus season. You’ve accomplished a lot, but what’s it worth if you don't slow down to enjoy it? When Gemini season starts, you’ll be feeling restored and ready to engage in summer fun. A full moon at the end of the month shines on your friendships and connections, a wonderful time to kick off summer with a social weekend.

Love Horoscope: You start the month in homebody mode, so it might be hard to meet someone new if you’re not already attached. By mid-month you’re feeling more ready to get out and see who’s out there, but they need to have good conversation skills and keep things interesting.

Money Horoscope: You’re making money because you’re working hard, Aquarius. But it’s taking a toll on your body.

Changes to your living situation began at the end of last month but continues developing throughout May. Things get easier and you feel more in control and confident as the month goes on, even if you’re making major life changes. This can look like moving, changing your relationship with your parents, adjusting who you live with or feeling restless for something entirely new. When Mercury enters Gemini on the 16th, you’re ready to communicate the changes you’d like to see happen. Venus entering Cancer on the 18th is a sweet treat to your house of romance that lasts into June.

Love Horoscope: May is a great month for pleasure and fun, especially when Venus enters Cancer on the 18th. It’s a great time to indulge and it happens to fall in a very fun part of your chart.

Either way, everything is lined up for you to make the right decision.
