Horoscope for May 2023

This month of May 2023 starts off energetically! Thanks to the slow but steady energy of Taurus, we can feel more stable and balanced, even though retrograde Mercury may cause mental confusion and misunderstandings. However, on May 2nd, the Sun, in Taurus, aligns with Mercury, forming a so-called conjunction aspect with the communication planet. This is a very interesting event that deserves further attention. This aspect is unusual. The conjunction of Mercury with the Sun even has its own name: "Mercury Kazimi." The term "Kazimi" comes from Farsi and translates as "in the heart of the Sun." Since Mercury's orbit is between the Sun and Earth, there are two types of "Mercury Kazimi": far, when Mercury is behind the Sun, and near, when Mercury's orbit is between Earth and the Sun. So, on May 2nd, we can expect a near "Mercury Kazimi," which can bring a moment of clarity and enlightenment, especially important during the current retrograde confusion. Imagine suddenly being able to see clearly after losing your sight for a moment! Fortunately, in our case, we are not losing our sight, and the retrograde period will pass in a couple of weeks, restoring harmony. But the essence must be understood: May 2nd is the day of enlightenment!

By the way, at the beginning of the month, we have another retrograde cycle ahead of us. On May 1st, the planet of transformation, Pluto, begins its retrograde motion, prompting us to rethink the underlying meaning that has arisen in recent times over the next few months.

On May 5th, 2023, we can expect the first lunar eclipse of the year, accompanied as usual by a full moon in Scorpio. By the way, this will be the last full moon and eclipse in the cycle of lunar eclipses in Scorpio in the past couple of years. What should we expect in this regard? Simply put, this will be the culminating end of a story that has been unfolding in our lives for the past two years! And thanks to the opposition of the Moon with Uranus, this eclipse can lead to unexpected events and shocking plot twists.

On May 7th, the goddess of love, Venus, enters the sign of Cancer, known for its gentleness. And since Venus is leaving Gemini, we leave behind all the flaws of romantic attachments in favor of emotional security and comfort until June 5th.

On May 14th, the retrograde period of Mercury ends, allowing our thoughts, conversations, and social interactions to flow much more smoothly than in the first half of the month.

May 16th will be a very lucky day for many signs, marking the transition of Jupiter's transit from its sign to Taurus. Jupiter is the planet of luck, and it has not visited this sign in over ten years, making its transition to Taurus a very important event. Jupiter will stay in Taurus for about a year and bring success and luck to different sectors of our lives, depending on our horoscope's sector.

Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter are not the only planets influencing this month. Mars enters the gladiatorial arena on May 20th. Despite its self-confidence and impulsiveness, it can increase confidence levels, bring leadership qualities to life, and ignite amorous passion.

As the Taurus season draws to a close, it gives us a new moon on May 19th, in its very own zodiac sign. Many will receive an abundance of stamina to invest in new projects, ventures, and personal goals. On May 21st, the sun leaves Taurus and enters Gemini. Spring ends, opening the door to the world of summer romances, igniting our desire for social contacts and increasing our curiosity.
