Aries May 2016 Monthly Horoscope

On May 20th, the Sun enters air sign Gemini, and on May 24th, Venus joins the Sun in Gemini, and you can enjoy focusing on projects and ventures that challenge your mentally and stimulate your mind. You can have plenty of new ideas, and you can feel excited by those ideas. You can focus more on the positives, and may want to share your thoughts, ideas, and opinions more openly and without a filter. You can keep yourself busier so you use up your extra mental energy, and you can enjoy the time you spend around others talking about things. In love, you may focus on a mental connection, and if in a relationship, you can talk more with your partner, while if single, you may want someone who understands you mentally. You may come across as more sociable, engaging, or interesting.

On May 22nd, Mercury ends his retrograde in earth sign Taurus, the sign after yours. A planet is called retrograde when it appears to be moving backward from our view here on Earth (it isn’t actually moving backward, it only appears that way, and things can get thrown off). Mercury has been retrograde since the end of April, and you’ve likely been experiencing issue with your finances, taking hits to your confidence and self-esteem, feeling insecure, and lacking stability or having too much of it. Now that the retrograde ends, after about another week, you can start to put things back together and fix any issues.

On May 27th, Mars, your ruler, retrogrades back into water sign Scorpio, leaving fellow fire sign Sagittarius, where he’s been retrograde since mid-April. While in Sagittarius, you’ve likely been feeling more restricted, wanting more freedom, been defensive of your beliefs and opinions, or lacked opportunities for expansion. With Mars retrograde in Scorpio, you can now have issues with other people’s money (taxes, debts, loans, inheritances, joint finances), with making transformations, and your rage can be much stronger. You can feel issues that you hold deep within yourself stirred, and you have to work on bringing some things to the surface and into the light. Make sure you have an outlet for your frustrations, otherwise you might snap. Mars is also your ruler, so you’ve likely felt off in a subtle, ever-present way. Mars is retrograde until the end of June.

On May 9th, Jupiter ends his retrograde in earth sign Virgo, and over the last few months, you may’ve felt like you lacked opportunities or drive with your work, health, or daily life, and now that the retrograde is over, you can work on taking advantage of new opportunities to do work you love, improve your lifestyle, and set a productive routine.

On May 6th, a new moon occurs in Taurus while Mercury is retrograde in Taurus, and this can be a good new moon to give old financial opportunities another chance, to pursue old financial projects, plans, and ventures once again, or to go back over the financial plans you have to make sure you didn’t miss anything. You can benefit from bringing stability back to areas that used to have it but no longer do. On May 21st, a full moon occurs in Sagittarius while Mars is at the end of his time retrograde in Sagittarius, and you can be more emotional and defensive with this full moon. You may need to work on being more open-minded and not push your beliefs on others. You can take time to finish old learning projects or reminisce over past travels.
