4 Zodiacs Facing Past Mistakes During Pallas Retrograde In Scorpio On May 16

  • Updated

Pallas, the asteroid of wisdom and problem-solving, continues retrograde and enters Scorpio on May 16. This feminine asteroid reveals who we are as skillful and artistic negotiators. During this transit, the outcome of previous actions may reveal themselves, potentially bringing to light a sense of poor mental judgment. It’s imperative to maintain a positive relationship with self and approach situations from a place of strong personal presence. Although each sign is impacted, these four Zodiac members will be called to interact with their shadow selves more deeply.

Taurus

Laying opposite Scorpio, you approach life from a practical and pragmatic lens. You root yourself physically and demonstrate a strong urge to reach personal stability. You take pride in your ability to provide. When a sense that you haven’t lived up to expectations arises, you likely experience immense personal shame — regardless of what others share or show you. Your challenge this season is to stay engaged when feeling triggered. Abundance comes from a generosity of heart, even when lapses of mental judgment occur. As Baron Baptiste writes in Perfectly Imperfect, “you become the space in which the whole story of your life occurs.”

Libra

Social, personable, and harmonious, Pallas retrograde is a call to heal some of your strongest patterns, Libra. You’re prone to being hyper-aware of the opinion of those around you, potentially adjusting personal expression in an attempt to please or appease others. With Pallas governing mental resourcefulness and an independent spirit, you may see old patterns come crashing down. Rather than polling a long-list of friends when finding an answer, it’s best you face personal challenges with intention and introspection. Although this may feel uncomfortable at first, it’s ultimately a lesson in personal integrity. 

Scorpio

A sign who naturally embodies depth and transformation, old lessons cause you to meet new parts of yourself, Scorpio, as Pallas continues retrograde in your sign. Prone to emotional depth and intensity, a call to reexamine situations is prime time for evaluating the personal narrative you’re writing. Other signs may not be as at home in the unknown, and it’s when you surrender into the present that personal strengths are revealed. Guide the way forward. Be grateful for an enhanced ability to see situations in new lights this season. Your challenge is to listen and act on gut instinct and words fro your higher self.

Sagittarius 

Pallas moves out of conjunction with your sign, potentially ending a streak of life that felt effortless and easy, Sagittarius. With Pallas retrograde now in Scorpio, you may have less energy and clarity for reaching personal aspirations. As a truth-seeker, you may attempt to remedy a sense of mental uncertainty with restless and impatient action. This season is all about facing whatever experience is being presented. Your challenge is to embrace humility, both in how you engage externally and the ways in which you speak to yourself.
