May 2022 Gemini Horoscope

May 2022 is going to be a busy month for the Twins, both socially and career-wise. The middle of your month is going to be jam-packed with work-related ambitions. You will receive a boost from the universe, which will make the usually daydreamy Geminis focused, and productive. Luckily, this period of productivity is book-ended by times ideal for socialization. The best of both worlds in one month, just the way dual-natured Twins like it.

Geminis enter the last month of spring with their ruling planet, Mercury, in your 5th house. The 5th house is ruled over by the Sun and Leo, and it is the center of love, joy, and self-expression. When Mercury enters this bright and sunny space, he pushes away thoughts of work and tedium and shifts your focus to socialization and fun. Not that it takes much encouragement to turn Geminis' thoughts towards good times. Mercury will remain here until the 23rd, giving you plenty of time to plan get-togethers and enjoy your social circle.

On the 6th, Mercury will form a sextile with Venus, which will be a perfect time to plan some bonding with your partner or some close friends. You will feel like expressing your affection to those around you and making sure they know just how much they mean to you.

May 10th, your ruler goes into retrograde, which always throws a wrench into plans. When Mercury appears to be moving backward, communication gets muddied, and people may misunderstand your intent or relay your words inaccurately. Geminis have a reputation for knowing everyone around them's business and being a bit of a gossip. While your intentions may not be malicious, they can be easily misconstrued during this time. So if someone chooses to let you in on their exciting news or confide in you during this time, be sure that the information doesn't go any further than you. What may have begun as an innocent spilling of the tea could land you in hot water with friends or family.

On the 21st of the month, not only does the Sun enter into Gemini, but it also forms a conjunction with your ruler, Mercury. This conjunct means that while everyone else is in the midst of the retrograde and the frustrations it brings with it, you will have a window of clarity. Gemini's are already good communicators due to their ruler's favor and their social natures. Take this opportunity to clear the air of any issues that have been lingering. You will be more likely to get positive feedback or results during this three-day window.
