SCORPIO | MAY HOROSCOPE

Hello my lovely Scorpio and welcome to the month of May. We start off with Mercury, the planet of communication, entering its home sign of Gemini and your 8th house of shared resources, joint finances and mortality. There are several ways this transit can manifest itself. On a mundane level, it can indicate negotiations, most likely about things pertaining to any joint resources. Mercury’s transit through the 8th house can also signal a time where intellectually we are drawn inwards to reflect upon our own psyche and our place in this world. Often times the 8th house represents death, not always quite literally, but more in the sense of thinking about life’s journey in general and being realistic about our own mortality and those around us. As a Scorpio, you are probably attuned to this energy innately, but remember to stay in the present and strive to live the life you want to build for yourself! With Mercury also ruling your 11th house of Virgo, don’t be shy to rely on those trusting and supportive bonds you have made with people around you. On the 8th, Venus joins Mercury in your Gemini 8th house. Venus’ transit can bring good fortune and harmonious energy to this area of life. It could indicate some sort of valuable or monetary gain through a partner or a secondary party as well as the inclination to connect with people of similar values. On the 11th, the New Moon in Taurus will be activating your 7th house of relationships. This lunation can present an opportunity for you to bring forth a new energy or relationship that you want in your life, whether that's business or romantic. Get in touch with yourself and assess what you need in this area of life prior to setting your intentions. Take advantage of the Taurean energy to channel something that will bring you stability, security and longevity. On the 13th, Jupiter, the planet of luck and wisdom, will briefly dip into its home sign of Pisces and your 5th house of self-expression and creativity. Scorpio, this excites me for you!! Take the brief few months of this transit during 2021 to really kick it in gear and get in touch with your inner self and your creative power. The 5th house is there for you to play and explore what feels good and authentic to you. The energy of Jupiter in Pisces can give you the extra push to get in touch with your spiritual and creative side without imposed limitations and boundaries. On the 20th, the Sun enters your 8th house of Gemini, joining both Mercury & Venus and marking the start of Gemini season. There is a lot of 8th house energy in play for you this month of May and all of Gemini season in general, and it leads me to believe that this could be a busy month with proposals and negotiations of offers and investments of any kind. It could also be that you are getting more in touch with your inner psyche and your inner power as well. On the 23rd, Saturn, the planet of discipline and limitations, stations retrograde in your 4th house of home and family. During the next few months, it’s time to go back and revise all the structural changes and foundations you have placed since Saturn entered Aquarius in December 2020. Are these working to your advantage? Have these, in any way, shape or form, made your home and family life more stable and secure? Are your boundaries setting their purpose or is there anything that needs to be restructured and rethought? Take this time to comb through and feel the changes and adapt accordingly, Scorpio! Saturn will remain in Aquarius until March 2023, so you might see the results of these changes coming up gradually over time. On the 26th, we are welcomed back into eclipse season, with a Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius, illuminating your 2nd house of finances, security and material possessions. Now with eclipses, I always say just let the energy be, since it's practically a lunation on steroids, and it can be somewhat hard to manipulate this energy during this time. Sit back, tune into yourself and your spirit guides and let the messages come through to release whatever needs to be released right now. On the 29th and to finish off the month of May, Mercury will station retrograde in your 8th house. This is a time of revision and rethinking. If there has been negotiations or deals of any kind on the table for you, now is the time to pause and revisit these with a magnifying glass. Read thoroughly, Scorpio. Is every detail correctly laid out? Are there any aspects that you have not looked through that need attention right now before moving forward? It is a popular advice to avoid signing important contracts or deals during Mercury retrograde, and I would say this is especially true for you not only because it’s in your 8th house that rules contracts and other people's resources, but also its in it’s home air sign of Gemini, which rules the mind, thoughts and communication as well. Do not rush the process, Scorpio. Take the next few weeks to revise all proposals on your table and readjust as you see fit to move forward and acquire the best results. You got this!
