Horoscopes for the month of May 2023
Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21st): May 2023 may begin with a feeling that it is time to make some minor adjustments, especially regarding communication and how you handle electronics. You may also find pleasure with your friends, and money flows easily to you through the people you know. Opportunities for prosperity may exist if you act fast and have a contingency plan. As the month progresses, you may find that things no longer need minor adjustments and that friendships and communication are rolling along better than at the beginning of the month. However, challenges and growth opportunities may be present when it comes to your love life and your immediate family. You may also find that your house requires some TLC that costs money, but this may pay off better than expected in the long run.
Taurus (Approx. April 21st to approx. May 21st ): Happy birthday Taurus! This is your month to treat yourself and indulge in creature comforts. For the most part, May 2023 begins with a review process, not only of communication but also regarding how you approach your daily work and what you can do to ensure success in the long run. You may also find you are emotionally and spiritually growing, even though it may feel like it’s taking longer than you want. As the month continues, it is worth noting that your romantic life is rolling along well, as is the time you spend with your immediate family. You may also discover that your communication skills require some adjustments, but these are short-term. When the middle of the month arrives, you may find that your temper is shorter than normal but that you have above-average energy to get things done. It would also be wise to make sure your ego does not get in the way of growth.
Gemini (Approx. May 21st to Summer Solstice): Even though the sun does not move into Gemini until May 21st, you may find that love is in the air, as is good fortune, and both of these are especially true when it comes to people you know and how they can help. Your prosperity may continue to roll along easily, and if you are alert, you can maximize your gain. As the month progresses, things go from okay to spectacular, especially when Mercury directs. Towards the end of the month, your creativity may be stronger than normal, and your optimism may be infectious. While your daily life may require minor adjustments, these will only be needed in the short term. The opportunities present at the beginning of the month may be gone by the end, and now the attention turns to the maturation process of your emotions and spirituality.
Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21st ): Even though there is a Mercury retrograde at the beginning of the month, you may find that otherwise, things are rolling along nicely and smoothly and that things are coming up that need to be dealt with anyway. Money may be tight, particularly when it comes to increasing your profit margin, and your ongoing work healing your wounds continues until the middle of the month. Once the middle of the month arrives, you may find that things clear up rather quickly, and while your daily life may be returning to normal, now is the time to make some communication adjustments. You may also find that good things may be coming your way in your romantic life and when it comes to your immediate family. Spiritual unfoldment and improving your ability to work with emotions may be two strong themes that last until June.
Leo (Approx. July 21st to approx. August 21st ): The beginning of May 2023 may bring a host of challenges, especially regarding your daily life and diet, so it would be wise to tread lightly. However, you may also find your friendships rolling along nice and smooth, and money may be easily flowing through your connections. Until the middle of the month, you may find opportunities for long-term growth, but this will dramatically change the later it gets. As May continues, the challenges from earlier in the month may still be present, but they are not as intense as earlier. Mars enters Leo on May 21st, the same day the sun enters Gemini, and both of these mean that through the middle of June, you may find your energy levels are higher than normal, your fortune is better than usual, and your creativity is stronger than average.
Virgo (Approx. August 21st to Autumnal Equinox): May 2023 may begin with strong
emotions, and the Mercury retrograde amplifies these at the start of the month, so it would be wise to keep control of your emotions and to address what needs it when it comes to your daily life and health. Money may flow through your fingers right now, and while your profit margin may not be that great, you are still treading water. There may also be challenges in communication when it comes to your love life. As the month continues, you may find that things line up for a strong foundation later this year if you keep working. The home life and immediate family may be rolling along well, and the romantic challenges from earlier in the month have dissipated as quickly as they arrived. Spiritual and emotional tension may also be present for the whole month, but these are
dull sounds in the background of your life and may not be overly intense.
Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21st ): Even though home life and immediate family may have their share of challenges right now, you may find success when it comes to networking and spending time with friends. Money may be tight, too, but this will change later in the month. Your internal wounds that you have been working on for a while are still there to be healed, and one of the better ways to accrue the healing is through humility and honesty. As the month continues, you may see that inspiration is coming easier than normal and that this is a good time to lay the foundation for group participation. If you were born around the beginning of the sign of Libra, you are in a prime spot to lay a big, solid foundation that has to do with group participation and taking new approaches to old ideas. Mars moving into Leo may ignite your creativity and give you the energy to get things done.
Scorpio (Approx. October 21st to approx. November 21st ): Every May, tension is in the air, but this year you may find it is more so than normal, especially because of the Mercury retrograde, so it would be wise to bury yourself in your work since it is rolling along smoothly at the start of the month. This is also a good time to be proactive regarding how you practice and live your spirituality and decide how and where you want to grow from here. As the month progresses, it is worth noting that when Mars enters Leo, your temper may be shorter than normal, and you have a higher-than-average energy level. Your creativity may also be stronger than normal, even though optimism may be hard to develop. Tense communication may be in the air the whole month, but towards the end, the emphasis changes from wrapping things up to going through the birthing process of your next project.
Sagittarius (Approx. November 21st to Winter Solstice): Money and romance may be full of tension as May 2023 begins, but these will be short-lived and should resolve by the end of the month. The first two weeks of May are still a good time to lay the foundation for projects that have to do with your self-expression, but to achieve success; you may have to take a second look at your emotions and spirituality because it may be time for a change. As the month continues, it is worth mentioning that you may feel a second win as Mars enters Leo, and your optimism and creativity may be stronger than normal. However, emotional tension may be present too, especially regarding subjects of conversation and your daily life, but this will be short-lived. The last two weeks of May may contain a lot of challenges in general, but a key to dealing with these things is to look inward and see what you need to change and why.
Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21st ): Your home life and immediate
family may be full of tension right now, so it would be wise to stay detached and do what needs to be done for the whole of the unit. The beginning of May 2023 may be a prime time to lay a foundation in your career and daily life, as long as you clean up what needs to be cleaned up and are willing to be patient for your results. While home life stays the same for the entire month, you may discover that you no longer have to clear space or clean up leftover issues like at the start of the month. Rather, now is the time for proactivity and calculations. Your emotions and spirituality may roll along smoothly for the whole month, and lining up your personal development with physical world values may be the key to long-term success.
Aquarius (Approx. January 21st to approx. February 21st ): The power of May 2023 should not be understated as you make your plans for the month. Pluto retrogrades in your sign on the first, and you may find challenges and growth opportunities related to your physical life and body. The Mercury retrograde may focus on electronics more than anything else, but in contrast, you may see that money and love are available to you through your friends and casual acquaintances. As May continues, it is worth noting that the challenges in the workplace and daily life are still there, but now your patience is
thinner and your temper shorter, prompting you to focus on keeping your ego in check and seeing where and when it would be wise to be humble and open to new approaches. The good news is that the later in the month it gets, the more fun there is to be had, and an outing with friends might just be what the doctor ordered.
Pisces (Approx. February 21st to Spring Equinox): Emotional tension and internal
maturation may be the two dominant themes at the beginning of May 2023, so it would be wise to detach as much as possible. You may also note that frivolous spending comes back to bite you in the rear, and your daily work life may call for adjustments. As May marches on, improvements may be common, and your daily life starts producing big results with some patience and dedication. Your emotions may still be tense, but this will be short-lived. Challenges as a theme may come into being around the 21st, and while some may be short-lived, they may still have ramifications that last for quite some time. ©2023 Bill Duvendack, 418 Ascendant LLC
