​​May Is Going To Be The Best Month For These 6 Zodiacs

May has arrived, and the astrological weather looks highly favorable to a few zodiac signs!

One look at the transits and shifts this month shows that May has plenty of positive energy over these few weeks! With the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter all in the grounded sign of Taurus, themes of security, love, and wealth are on the brain, and it makes sense to focus on what brings us security. On May 18th, the Jupiter Cazimi in Taurus (when Jupiter comes in close conjunction with the Sun) will occur, and it’s shaping up to be the luckiest day of the year. Jupiter will shift signs in Gemini a few days later on May 25th, marking an exciting shift into expanding our curiosity and desire to see the world differently.

While all the zodiac signs will experience the effects of these transits, a few will likely experience some highly positive changes. Check your signs below (Sun and Rising!) to see which zodiac signs will have the best month this May!

​​Taurus

May is more than prepared to be kind to you, Taurus! The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter are all in your 1st House of Self and Identity throughout the first few weeks of the month, highlighting some major confidence levels and opportunities likely to come your way. You’ll particularly want to pay attention to May 18th, when the Jupiter Cazimi occurs in your sign—a.k.a. the luckiest day of this year! Once Gemini season kicks off, you’ll see this energy shift into your 2nd House of Income and Values, increasing money and what you value potentially on the table. You’ve been working hard, and it’s time to reap those rewards!

Gemini

It’s time to prepare yourself for a wake-up call, Gemini! At first, this month may feel relatively quiet as Taurus rules over your 12th House of Isolation and Subconscious. You may feel the desire to rest and recharge, but you may also experience some powerful intuition coming your way, so pay attention to any dreams or visions you experience. Once the Sun moves into Gemini on May 21st, your 1st House of Self and Identity takes center stage. The real excitement will start on May 25th, when Jupiter moves into your sign (where it will remain for the next year)! Your presence and energy will make an impact, so spend some time this month thinking how you want to use it!

Cancer 

This month is starting you off on a path to achieve your goals. Cancer! Taurus season activates your 11th House of Friendships and Networking, and with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter all working their way through this house, it’s time to bring your visions to life! With the support of those around you, especially those whose visions align with your own, you have a chance to bring ideas to fruition before seasons switch to your 12th House. If you’ve been holding yourself back, these few weeks are the time to finally make those moves, notably on May 18th during the Jupiter Cazimi. You know what you want, Cancer—it’s time to make it happen! 

Leo

May is ready to change your trajectory in significant ways, Leo! Taurus season focuses on your 10th House of Career and Public Image, bringing attention to your long-term goals and may even push for more opportunities in your career. You could find you have strong approval from those in authority or even the public (try not to let it get to your head!). The Jupiter Cazimi on May 18th could be a lucky day to launch a new project or take on new opportunities you’ve been waiting for. Once Gemini season arrives and activates your 11th House, it’s a chance to take those big dreams and put action behind them, as you’ll likely garner the support and connection you need to make it happen. With great power comes great responsibility, Leo—what are you going to do with it?

Capricorn

Big things are happening in terms of your self-expression, Capricorn! Taurus season kicks off in your 5th House of Creativity and Pleasure, focusing on what you create and what brings you joy. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter will all transit this house, so major inspiration and romantic vibes are on the table. When the Jupiter Cazimi appears on May 18th, expect even bigger developments in these areas. You are known to work hard, Cap, so don’t be afraid to let loose and have a little fun for once!

Aquarius

The end of the month is an exciting time for you, Aquarius. Gemini season illuminates your 5th House of Creativity and Romance, bringing exciting energy to the way you express yourself, as well as to your romantic connections. Once Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance, moves into this house, you may find more creative and romantic opportunities knocking at your door! You’ll want to take advantage of planting these seeds now, as Jupiter will stay in this house for the next year, but May truly begins this chapter in a way that will be hard not to notice!
