Expert astrologer Remy Ramirez shares her predictions on what to expect this month in her May 2021 horoscopes.
1. May 2021 Horoscopes: TAURUS
You may kick your birthday month off with a bit of rough start on May 3rd when the Sun in Taurus squares Saturn. This can bring restrictions, issues with authority, and blows to your ego, so avoid setting up any important meetings on this day plus or minus three days. Don’t get too bummed, though, because the Taurus New Moon on May 11th is looking great for you. With positive connections to Pluto and Neptune, A Mars/Uranus sextile, and a Saturn/Mercury trine, you’ll have cosmic fuel to feed your dreams and ambitions in a way that is long lasting and sustainable.

Definitely use the two weeks following that date to put projects in motion. On the 29th, Mercury retrograde begins in your second house of income. You may hear from past employers who want to team up again, but you may also experience delays and confusion around getting paid. Dot your i’s and cross your t’s with any and all contracts during this time to help avoid a paycheck headache.
2. May 2021 Horoscopes: GEMINI
Love is in the air, Gem! On May 8th, Venus enters your sign, bringing affection, romance, and luxurious vibes your way. If you’re looking to date, put yourself out there this month, even if it’s via Zoom. If you’re already partnered up, set time aside for a little rendezvous. This is also a great time in general to work with women or spend time with dear friends.

The Sun enters your sign on the 20th, bringing more fuel to your projects and audiences, but—with Mercury retrograde kicking off in your sign on the 29th—there may be delays or challenges around this. Another possibility is that issues from your past may resurface during this time. On May 22nd, Mercury in Gemini will square Neptune in Pisces, making you vulnerable to illusions and deception. Hold off on any big decisions between the 18th and 26th to keep clear of this energy.
3. May 2021 Horoscopes: CANCER
Lucky you, Cancer Crab! On May 11th, a gorgeous New Moon in Taurus in your house of social circles and networks makes beaming connections to Neptune and Saturn, and Mars in Cancer sextiles Uranus, the planet of quick changes and surprise. This is wonderful energy for socializing, or getting an unexpected boost from a friend that helps you toward a goal.

On the 31st, Mars in Cancer will make another great connection, this time to Neptune in your house of travel, education, foreign relationships, and long-term goals. All of these areas will get a push, so be ready to jump on opportunities at the end of the month. Just make sure to go over contracts with a fine-tooth comb because on the 29th, Mercury retrograde starts up in your house of conclusions and hidden things. A little caution will go a long way.

4. May 2021 Horoscopes: LEO
You start things off with a bit of a rough transit on May 3rd when your planetary ruler, the Sun, squares Saturn in your house of career. This can bring restrictions, issues with bosses, and blows to your ego, so avoid setting up any important meetings on this day plus or minus three days. The New Moon on May 11th will help alleviate tensions.

With both the Moon and your planetary ruler, the Sun, making positive connections to numerous planets from your house of career, you may get a helping hand—potentially one you didn’t see coming—that takes your work to the next level. Mark this day on your cal and set up any important meetings as close to it as possible. On May 29th, Mercury retrograde begins in your house of social circles. Pals from the past may emerge, and/or you may have miscommunications with your current friend group or on social media. Use tact whenever possible.
5. May 2021 Horoscopes: VIRGO
You kick the month off with a powerful aspect. On May 2, Mercury, your planetary ruler, will send a beaming light to Pluto. Pluto rules power, money, and deep transformations. Business dealings, intimate conversations, career changes—this transit will help with all these things, so schedule your meetings accordingly.

Things aren’t what they seem on the 22nd, when Mercury bumps heads with Neptune. Deception, illusion, and confusion are a possibility with this transit, so steer clear of signing contracts or making big decisions on this day plus or minus three days. And actually, that goes for last third of the month and into June because Mercury retrograde starts up May 29th in your house of career. Expects some bumps in the road, and put any major decisions or changes on hold till July if possible.
6. May 2021 Horoscopes: LIBRA
On the 19th, Venus, your planetary ruler, will reach out and make a shining connection to Saturn, the planet of stability, structure, and long-term success. If you’re looking to take things to the next level with a romantic interest, a business partner, or a loved one, this trine will help. On the 27th, Venus will pick a fight with Neptune, causing confusing issues and potentially even deception to surface.

This may relate directly to love, but to be on the safe side, avoid business dealings around this day. And actually, avoid contracts and big decisions toward the end of the month and into June because on the 29th, Mercury retrograde kicks off in your house of expansion, travel, publishing, foreign relationships, and education. Because it will trine your natal Sun, best to lay low with big decisions and contracts till this one blows over in July.

7. May 2021 Horoscopes: SCORPIO
On May 6th, your planetary ruler, Pluto, will trine affectionate Venus. This is powerful energy for romance, art and creativity, and working with women or loved ones. Because Venus is orbiting your house of partnerships, this would be a peak time to team up, romantically or in business. Another trine heads your way on the 17th, this time with Pluto and the Sun, also in your house of partnerships.

Getting a plus one on your side this month will definitely help with achieving goals. My only advice is to sign contracts before the 15th if possible because Mercury will begin its retrograde through the house your planetary ruler oversees on the 29th. This will bring deep changes, so if you do have to sign contracts between May 15th and end of June, dot your i’s and cross your t’s.
8. May 2021 Horoscopes: SAGITTARIUS
Two heavy hitters happening at the end of the month, Sag. On the 26th, a total lunar eclipse in Sagittarius is bringing some tough but needed purging energy as it reveals hidden things. Because both the Moon and the Sun will square your planetary ruler, Jupiter, this could result in an emotional ending.

To help, Uranus will trine Mars and sextile Pluto, so the changes that happen could be swift and deep but beneficial in the end. Just remember that when one door closes, another opens; that’s where the blessing lies here. On the 29th, Mercury retrograde revs up in your house of partnerships, so endings in or communication meltdowns around partnerships might well arise during the last week of May. Do yourself a favor and wait till July to sign contracts or make big decisions if possible.
9. May 2021 Horoscopes: CAPRICORN
Good vibes on the 6th and 17th, Cap! On those days, Pluto in Capricorn will trine Venus and the Sun respectively in your house of health and daily work. This is great news for health issues or practices, and for the detailed aspects of your work and career (getting noticed by a boss or coworker for a job well done, etc.).

On the 23rd, Saturn, your planetary ruler, will begin its retrograde period in your house of income and self-worth, kicking up past issues, confusion, or needed revisions around these themes. To intensify matters, Mercury will begin its retrograde in Gemini on the 29th, revisiting your house of health and daily work and potentially bringing communication issues, upsets, or past issues to the foreground. A word to the wise: Wait till July to sign contracts if possible, especially work-related contracts.

10. May 2021 Horoscopes: AQUARIUS
Watch out on the 3rd when Mercury in Taurus squares Jupiter in Aquarius from your house of home and family. On the one hand, this could help you plan for the future, but it could also drum up difficult family discussions or bad news about your home. Be very careful about coming across as cocky or arrogant around this day—it won’t help you any.

Mercury retrograde kicks off on the 29th, transiting your house of creativity, children, and romance. Past crushes may resurface, or communication meltdowns with present crushes and/or around artistic projects could trip you up. Try not to sweat the small stuff and avoid big decisions till Mercury is back in action in July.
11. May 2021 Horoscopes: PISCES
Good news, Pisces! Jupiter, planet of luck, expansion, and going big moves into your sign on May 13th, where it will hang out through the end of July before dipping back into Aquarius for a few months. This is an excellent time for your ambitions and your ego. It’s not your strong suit, but take calculated risks, believe in optimism, and even get some travel on the books—Jupiter loves it!

On the 29th, Mercury retrograde kicks off in your house of home and family. OOF. This is a tough time for issues with your parents, siblings, partner, and/or children, so be prepared for challenging convos. If you’re remodeling or looking to buy a house, its best to only hire people you’ve worked with in the past (contractors, agents, etc.). Avoid signing contracts if possible till we’re out of the retrograde shadow in July.
12. May 2021 Horoscopes: ARIES
Circle the 11th and 31st on your cal, Aries! On these days, Mars, your planetary ruler, will send extra friendly beams to Uranus and Neptune respectively from your house of career. The 11th is great for breakthroughs, surprises, and moving things through quickly; the 31st is good for artistic endeavors. Set meetings up on these days plus or minus three days.

On the 29th, Mercury retrograde will heat up your house of communication—a double whammy! Misunderstandings, meltdowns, and issues with technology are par for the course with this combo. If it’s possible to put off important conversations and/or contract signing till July when we’re out of the retrograde shadow, I highly recommend it.
