Hi beautiful being; it is an honor to be here with you upon this day. I have been guided by my spirit to start creating horoscopes upon my website and what to expect within the next month.
I am creating this article in April but it will be dedicated to the month of May. I will be tuning into both tropical and sidereal.
Tropical is the energy that is woven within our human experience - it is the foundation of who we are within this lifetime. Tropical is the energy we consciously chose before we were born into this lifetime because it is threaded within us in our evolution of being human. From birth until the departure; it is the root of us.
Sidereal is the energy we are here to awaken and realize it has always been within us. And it can be quite liberating to embrace and listen to the wisdom of the sidereal natal chart. Especially within the thirteen zodiac —— where the forgotten has been restored. It is brought within our soul and spirit and manifests more in adulthood. The more we rise into ourselves.
So what’s happening in May?
ASTROLOGY OF MAY
May 2 - Venus Conjunct Neptune in Aries (tropical)
Venus Conjunct Neptune in Pisces (sidereal)
A conjunction represents a merging or blending of planetary energies. When planets are conjunct, they amplify one another, creating a focused and intensified force. It’s a weaving of consciousness into unity; two energies that amplify within their own divine imprint.
May 4 - Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius (Tropical)
Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn (Sidereal)
A retrograde is the illusion of a planet moving backwards. This mirror acts as an invitation for one to go within the self; and with it being in Pluto, the planet of transformation, it is connected with going into the depths of the self (within the shadow, specifically) in order to heal wounds and to remove conditions that have been cast upon you, that are not in alignment with your true authentic nature. It’s a time of personal transformation, coming home to oneself and growing into the most powerful, authentic and beautiful version of yourself.
May 7
Mercury Conjunct Chiron Aries (Tropical)
Mercury Conjunct Chiron Aries (Sidereal)
We already went over what a conjunction is. I want to highlight the knowledge that a sign doesn’t always shift into a differing sign, within tropical and sidereal. Based on the degrees of the placements - it can fall under both. So the imprint of Aries within Mercury and Chiron is deeply impactful and all about the codes of Aries.
May 10
Mercury enters Taurus (tropical)
Mercury enters Aries (sidereal)
Mercury is the planet of expression and communication; the messenger of the gods. In regards to astrology and the natal chart; Mercury is tuned into the god/goddess aspect within the self - the higher powers within, the soul within the self and it is connected with allowing your soul/spirit/authentic nature communicate and express itself outside of the self. The internal into the external.
May 12
Full Moon in Scorpio (tropical)
Full Moon in Libra (sidereal)
It’s important to note that within our age of existence; Scorpio tropical will never be within the sidereal sign of Scorpio. It will always be within Libra. This is because of the transformation of what the zodiac has become. Scorpio, Libra and even Virgo were all connected into the same constellation and zodiac sign within the ancient age - but with the shifting of the zodiac, within modern astrology, we honor them as three different energies and signs. So in ancient times, this would have been a Scorpio full moon within both tropical and sidereal - in our modern and present world, it’s within Scorpio and Libra. But if you want to tune into the ancient truth - invoke the Scorpio energy for your full moon rituals and connections.
May 17
Sidereal Sun shifts into Taurus.
Sun Conjunct Uranus Taurus (tropical)
Sun Conjunct Uranus Taurus (sidereal)
In typical sidereal astrology, the sun shifts into Taurus around May 15 - but within the 13 zodiac, the shift begins on the 17th because of the imprint of Ophiuchus within the true sidereal zodiac.
We already dove into the imprint of a conjunction and oh my, how May is woven with them. So let’s briefly tune into the knowledge of Uranus. Uranus is the planet of liberation, awakening and revolution. The higher will and the will of the self and a lot of downloads can occur during this time; from higher selves. Uranus is here to disrupt but not always in such a chaotic manor; it’s here to reveal the hidden and it’s still an energy that’s being understood. It’s an outer planet so it’s not as deeply connected to us.
May 20
Tropical - Sun enters Gemini
Tropical astrology shifts from Taurus into Gemini. From heaven on earth imprint of Taurus into the palace of the mind; the consciousness of the astral realms.
May 25
Saturn enters Aries (tropical)
Saturn enters Pisces (sidereal)
This is going to be a powerful time for the babes who are entering their Saturn return within Aries (t) and Pisces (s). Saturn is the
Most misunderstood planet. It is the planet of wisdom, authentic growth, discipline within the self and it’s the lord of destiny and time. And it’s known as the lord of karma. Karma isn’t rooted within one meaning; it’s multidimensional and can be good, bad or something in between. It’s a very karmic time.
May 26
Mercury enters Gemini (Tropical)
Mercury enters Taurus (sidereal)
We already wove the knowledge of Mercury and it’s important to note that this planet changes signs every two weeks. As we evolve and shift into the understanding of ourselves, Mercury shifts codes to assist us. Tune into this energy to invoke messages from the divine.
May 27
New Moon in Gemini (tropical)
New Moon in Taurus (sidereal)
The New Moon is the imprint of new beginnings; setting intentions, and it’s a cosmic reset. Tune into the codes of Gemini and Tropical to assist you in your new moon rituals, journaling, magic or whispers to the moon. However it aligns with you.
HOROSCOPE TIME
okay okay, sweet soul; I want to first address that the horoscope is designed for your RISING SIGN. I can’t amplify this enough. The truth of horoscopes have become lost within the rise of the disconnection of true astrology within our modern times of existence. The horoscope is designed for the rising sign and it’s wise to tune into both the tropical and sidereal rising sign.
If you aren’t sure which your sidereal rising sign is, you can book a natal chart reading with me and I can tune into the true 13 zodiac chart and let you know what the rising sign is for you. Because if it’s within Ophiuchus, you’re going to want to know this. The rising sign is ancient and esoteric astrology is the most important aspect of the natal chart. It’s the energy we are here to rise into.
Let’s start;
Aries Rising
Theme - Transmutation of the authentic self
With the imprint of the zodiac of May, Aries Risings are destined for a profound transformation within the self and the soul.
As the Sun moves through Aries/Taurus and later into Taurus/Gemini, your 2nd and 3rd houses are activated—these are the temple houses of Value and Voice. But this month, value is not merely material, and voice is not merely speech. You are being called to claim the sacred fire within you, not just to burn brightly, but to refine—to alchemize. Aries has become the first spark of creation and you are invited to dive into yourself to invoke your own spark of creation. Who do YOU want to be? Who are YOU to the core? How can you express your true nature, without the cares of outer influences? This is a time of shedding. Tuning into the second house of wisdom, grounded spirituality and the third eye - and embracing the spirit within the self and believing that you are here to be all that you are and all that you are becoming.
You are safe to be yourself.
Mars (the exoteric ruler of Aries), moves through Gemini (sidereal) & Cancer (tropical) this month, stirring ancestral connections and invocations within your 4th house. This is no ordinary transit—it asks you to reconcile your spirit with your inner child, to tend the hearth of your own soul. Expect dreams, memories, or even paranormal experiences from ancestral lines, especially on the maternal line. Heal those generation curses, the ancestral wounds; and embrace the light that is found within your lineage.
Call upon the spirit of Lilith for empowerment, or Egeria for wisdom through solitude and nature.
Crystals: Carnelian for courage, black moonstone for ancestral connection.

TAURUS RISING
Theme: Embodied Sorcery & Sacred Power
May is your sacred month, as the Sun weaves through your 1st house of empowerment and true nature. This is the month of coming home to your self and embracing the gifts within your soul/spirit. Taurus is rooted from the third eye and it is wise to trust in your intuition this month because your spiritual gifts are about to grow and amplify.
Your power is rising. Allow it to. Embrace it.
Venus, your ruler, enters Taurus( s) Gemini (t) and moves through your 2nd house, bringing energies of beauty, materialist abundance, and a deepening of self-worth. The Goddesses of love, beauty, magic and fertility are going to weave their magic into your soul. Because of the connection of the second house; you are being invited to tune into the goddesses that align with the imprint of Taurus within your own ancestral lineage.
The Libra & Scorpio Full Moon on May 12th activates your 7th house—relationships, pacts, and mirrors. Karmic relationships! This is a potent time for uncovering hidden dynamics in partnerships, both earthly and etheric. Old soul contracts may resurface. Exes might reach out. You may meet someone who feels familiar— someone your soul knows, and has missed and yearned for - this can be within the waking world of the dream world. It’s a time of a past life reawakening, or a karmic gatekeeper. Use discernment.

GEMINI RISING
Theme: Claircognition, Shadows, and Sacred Codes
Do not fear the shadow; for it is where Creation stirs first into existence.
As the Sun moves through Aries and Taurus, your 12th house—the hidden chamber of past lives, karma, and spirit—comes alive. This house is connected with the energy you are here to move through in order to grow. Any obstacle that appears; you can move forward, transmute and grow from it.
This is a psychically activated time for you. You’re not just sensing more; you’re hearing the veil thin. And as the Sun shifts into tropical Gemini, your rebirth begins. A time of transformation, spiritual growth and clarity will rise into your existence. A feeling of “the dense and unclear; the stagnant and the uncertainty, are behind me.
Mercury, your ruler, weaves into Aries, and connecting with the 11th house of soul-tribes and future visions. Expect sudden downloads. Prophetic dreams. Psychic growth. Your guides are louder this month, and your future self is whispering backwards through time. Listen. Tune in and trust the guidance that is coming from the hidden and the higher.
If you work within the field of spirituality, mysticism or such things of this nature - launching a business in late May is beneficial.
The Libra Scorpio Full Moon on May 12th activates your 6th house—the domain of rituals, service, and the body temple. Something you’ve unconsciously been doing (or neglecting) is ready for spiritual alchemy. If your routine feels like a prison, this moon shatters the bars. If you’ve been working in devotion, prepare for an energetic upgrade.

LEO RISING
Theme: Sacred Reputation, Alchemical Destiny, and the Light That Cannot Be Dimmed
Leo Rising, this is your month to shine! Don’t be afraid to show your voice. Let go of all expectations of what your life should look like and embrace it as if it already exists in your favor. The Sun, your planetary ruler, ascends through your 10th house this month—the throne of your outer legacy. But this isn’t about clout or social media influencing growth. This is about divine purpose. You’re being called to step into a version of yourself that echoes through lifetimes. Whether you feel seen or shadowed right now, the spotlight is spiritual: you’re being watched by higher powers, not just people. Embrace it. Show yourself and step into your power, you beautiful beautiful being!
The Libra Scorpio Full Moon on May 12th ignites your 4th house—your deepest roots, ancestral altar, and the women in your bloodline. This is a powerful and transformative moon. And it is an initiating one. You may be called to face shadow aspects of family, home, or childhood patterns that have shaped your spiritual path. Do not flinch. This is your crucible. Burn through it and rise in light. Send love to the lineages before you who lost their light, who had to hide in the shadows in order to survive. Voices of the oppressed in your lineage are asking for you to heal their wounds and ignite the brilliance of your voice.

VIRGO RISING
Theme: Soul Wisdom, Spiritual Study & the Initiate’s Journey
May activates your 9th house—the temple of higher knowledge, sacred teachings, and long journeys (of the soul, not just the body). As the Sun transits Aries/Taurus, you're being summoned to expand not outward, but upward—into your higher mind, your esoteric studies, and your divine blueprint. This is a month of inner pilgrimage, where books become grimoires, and every conversation is an oracle. Embrace the esoteric within yourself; engage in the philosophical nature of your mind and tune into the occult for knowledge that you can transmute into wisdom.
Mercury, your ruler, is wise, knowing and quick witted within Aries, igniting your 8th house of magic, transformation, and sacred connections. You may find yourself drawn to forbidden and ancient texts, spiritual mentorships, or psychic experiences. Trust your discernment—this is initiatic fire, not chaos. Tune into past lives for wisdom for the soul; and call all of your energy back to you! Across all timelines and dimensions.
The Libra Scorpio Full Moon on May 12th illuminates your 3rd house of thought, connections, and spellwork. You are meant to speak with sorcery now. Words hold power. Be mindful of your inner dialogue—it is a ritual in disguise. But you already know this. Maybe you have forgotten this and it is time to remember.
You may receive visions, psychic downloads, or messages from spirit guides in unexpected ways: overheard conversations, repeating symbols, strange texts. Pay attention. The universe is trying to tell you something. Listen with your first sight and it shall be revealed to you.
Crystals: Fluorite for spiritual clarity, amethyst for psychic clarity and protection.

LIBRA RISING
Theme: Soul Alchemy, Soul Contracts & The Power of Release
May tunes into your 8th house as the Sun journeys through Taurus—the house of occult knowledge, sacred death (the etheric kind), transformation, and divine unions. It’s also connected to sacred sexuality. This is a witch’s month for you. You're not meant to just glide through it in grace—you’re meant to descend in order to ascend. To feel. Everything. To dig. To transmute. To reforge yourself through the shadows you've been neglecting. The shadows have wisdom, insight and transformation for you. Tune into them. Meditate and see what comes through.
Venus, your ruler, dances through Taurus Gemini in your 9th house, weaving a light on spiritual study, travel (of the inner realms), and mystical philosophy. You may feel called to the sacred feminine in her goddess forms—Isis, Aphrodite, Aine — the list continues on. See which goddess calls to you; and tune into her energy in order to receive the codes that are in alignment to the wisdom & grounded spirituality of Taurus and the Mystical and Divine communions of Gemini. Travel into the realms of the astral and hey, maybe even visit the library of Alexandria in the astral realm and study some ancient forbidden texts. Time is an illusion after all.
The Libra Scorpio Full Moon on May 12th sensationally ignites your 2nd house—your worth, your earthly resources, and your sense of embodiment. This isn’t simply about money. Although, it is a time of financial abundance; it’s about abundance in all her forms. This is about energetic value. Are you giving your magic to things that don't nourish your soul? Are you betraying yourself to keep peace? The Libra energy specifically amplifies - are you giving your energy to the right relationships? This Full Moon brings the scythe. Transmute and release the cords. Call in your worth.
Crystals: Black obsidian for shadow work, rose quartz for sacred self love.

SCOPRIO RISING
Theme: Clear Mirrors, Sacred Union & The Unveiling of Power
May unfolds like a ritual mirror. I imagine it as a priestess going into an ancient cave and finding an obsidian mirror and the spirit reveals the truth.
As the Sun moves through Aries/Taurus, it illuminates your 7th house—partnership, soul contracts, relationships on all levels and karmic bonds. This month, relationships are no longer just interactions; they become initiations. Every connection is a spell. Every new meeting, a portal. You are not meant to coast through this energy. You are destined for karmic relationships and it is wise to descend into the depths of the self to see who needs to be released, so you can create space and energy for the souls who are here to watch you grow and rise.
This isn’t about them. It’s about the parts of yourself that show up in their reflection. Are you holding onto relationships that no longer serve you? You don’t have to delete, block or remove these individuals. Just stop putting any energy into them and see what occurs.
Mars, your ancient and original ruler, moves through Cancer, activating your 9th house of higher wisdom, occult study, and spiritual journeying. A call is rising—possibly toward travel, mystical learning, or reconnection with ancient paths. Books may fall open to the right page. Dreams may speak in symbols. Follow what stirs your blood. Your soul remembers.
This is also a time of physical travel for you. New adventures that not only bring memories but will instill knowledge and wisdom from experiences that will shape your inner worlds. Cancer is about finding the home within the self.
The Libra Scorpio Full moon is caressed in your home position. This is your Full Moon, lighting your 1st house—the vessel of your being, the mirror of your soul; the energy you are here to rise into. This is a spiritual rebirth. It asks you to shed a version of yourself—one that once kept you safe; know you will always be safe and that it’s time to rise from the comforts of the warm waters and transform into the Phoenix and eagle that is the esoteric ruler of Scorpio. Expect clarity. Expect to walk out of this moon bare-skinned and crowned in truth. Bare skinned, you might say? Shedding the layers and the people that don’t serve you can create a feeling of being a blank canvas in a sense - know you are the art and the artist.
Crystals: Garnet - ancestral wisdom, grounded power, obsidian psychic protection and clarity into the divine.

OPHIUCHUS RISING
Theme: Healing, Rebirth & the Sacred Wound as Gateway
Ophiuchus Rising - the wisdom of the serpent, the one who is aligned with soul transmutation and walks the pathways of the healer. You are not ruled by one planet, but by the powerful asteroid Chiron; a true teacher and student of the esoteric and the occult, and you are also ruled by the sacred archetypes: the healer, the alchemist, the shaman, the breaker of cycles. In May, you’re walking the serpent path of initiation through embodiment.
As the Sun travels through Aries & Taurus, this will ignite your 6th house—the realm of ritual, devotion, and the healing of the body-temple. It’s the house of the priestess and it’s connected to the physicality of the divine feminine. But for you, this isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual medicine, the purification before the power. The month of May asks you to refine your rituals, not out of discipline, but because your daily life is the altar. YOU are the altar.
Expect old wounds to surface—physically or emotionally. Not to harm—but to open. What bleeds can be blessed. What aches can be alchemized. And you are a wizard, a sorceress and a master of alchemy.
Full Moon in Libra Scorpio — May 12
This moon touches your 12-13th house—the hidden, the karmic, the ancestral. For you, it’s like a veil being lifted between dimensions.
Visions come through in dreams, through meditation, and through supernatural synchronicities. This moon is also a portal to past lives. You may feel heavy or drained this full moon —That’s not a burden. It’s a message. Listen within and rest when needed. Sometimes rest is the most powerful healer.
Crystals: Serpentine - spiritual travel and amethyst for spiritual protection
Power Animal - The Owl
Oracle Card - The Guardian of the Gates
Theme: Embodied Wisdom, Devotion in Motion, & The Higher Realms
The Sun weaves within your 6th house this month—your rituals, responsibilities, and daily rhythms. This is the house of the Priestess. It’s about finding magic within the mundane. Creating a ritual within your daily existence. May is about crafting a life that supports your soul’s mission, and now what others project how your life should be. It’s time to ground, connect and weave the knowledge of the esoteric and the spirit into your daily realms of existence; especially within the mundane. Your work, your health, your service—all become spiritual.
This is a call to refine your energy. What drains your power? What feeds your fire and spirit? Are your days structured like a temple—or like a cage? Fire isn’t meant to be structured. It’s not predicable, but your soul is calling you to create structure. How can you tune into the two, while still feeling free?
Jupiter, your ruling planet, radiates from Taurus and Gemini and within your 7th house, bringing fated partnerships, teaching relationships, or sacred mirrors into focus. It will also bring unexpected abundance, prosperity and inner soul growth. Luck is on your side in the month of May. And with the imprint of the 7th house - you will find yourself with conversations with the divine that open doors. The people you meet now aren’t random—they’re contracted with karma in the best sense.
Full Moon in Libra Scorpio — May 12
This sacred full moon shifts within your 12th house—the subconscious of the soul.
Here, the Full Moon becomes an oracle of release. It is a time of releasing spiritual and physical baggage, relationships that don’t serve you; releasing anything that doesn’t allow you to grow into your beauty, your spirit and your abundance. It’s about cultivating a relationship with your life and invoking the spiritual, mystical, and esoteric - and the romantic; poetic and soft essence that is your birthright and grounding this into existence. Tuning into the shadow in order to realize what needs to be released in order to grow.
Your dreamworld may become prophetic. Pay close attention.

CAPRICORN RISING
Theme: Creative Resurrection, Heart Initiation & Building What Lasts Beyond Time
As the Sun passes through Taurus, your 5th house of creation, joy, family connections and divine rythym is illuminated. And for you, pleasure isn’t mundane—it’s sacred architecture. This month, you’re not just called to create. You’re called to consecrate your creative energy. What you birth now—be it art, love, magic, or vision—is meant to last. Believe in the power within you; know that you are both the art and the artist and create from your soul and the universe will provide.
Saturn, your ruling karmic planet, moves through Aries & Pisces within in your 3rd house—creating boundaries in thought, communication, and inner truth. You may receive psychic messages in dreams, spirit guide whispers, sacred and synchronized symbols. This is a time of downloads. Channel the structure later. Let the mysticism pour in now. This is a time to do automatic writing; sit by the trees and see what insight comes to you and trust in the downloads, trust in your soul self. Even if it doesn’t make sense now - it will.
Full Moon in Libra Scorpio — May 12
This powerful moon illuminates and connects with your 11th house—your place in the collective, your vision for the future, your legacy of spirit. Here, the moon becomes a prophetic portal. You may feel both inspired and a bit delusional. Know there is power within delusions. They can be sacred. You’re shedding illusions of what you thought you should offer the world—and revealing what your soul actually came to build.
Some friendships may fade and let them. Some visions may shift. But what stays? That’s your foundation. Trust in the process, trust in your universe and trust in the change that is your birthright.

AQUARIUS RISING
Theme: Rooted Awakening, Ancestral Messages & Rewiring the Sacred Self
May opens a radiant and powerful portal within your 4th house as the Sun moves through Aries & Taurus. This is the house of your roots, your lineage, your inner sanctuary. It is the place where one discovers the home within the self. And for you, home is not just a place—it’s a frequency; a vibration that only you know. You’re being asked to recalibrate your inner self. What parts of your origin have been denied, rejected, or forgotten? What sacred codes are buried in your bones? What ancestral roots have you abandoned? How can you call and connect with these, once again?
This is a time for grounding your magic, not just theorizing it. The spirit within the temple is asking you to come home and ground. May is a reclamation of spiritual embodiment. The wisdom of the trees live within the bark, the roots and the leaves. Call all of your energy back to you. Know you can still reach the heights of the heavens, while still being rooted.
Uranus, your ruling planet, is also in Taurus, shaking up your foundation. This could bring sudden revelations about family, past lives, or your soul’s incarnation path. Something deep beneath you is awakening. An ancestral voice, a message from the earth, a buried dream—it’s ready to rise.
Full Moon in Libra Scorpio — May 12
This Full Moon connects with your 10th house—your public life, your souls purpose, and your soul’s impact. And wow… it’s not subtle. This is a death-and-rebirth moment in how the world perceives you—and how you claim your own authority. If you’ve been playing small, this moon release this; allow yourself to be seen and to shine. If you’ve been building something true, it will glow. Trust in the process. Know the Midheaven is on your side! Bridge your heaven on earth and let your name be known.
Crystals: Tigers eye for clarity in your purpose and jade for prosperity and abundance
PISCES RISING
Theme: Speaking the Spell, Sacred Expression & Soul Weaving Through the Word
As the Sun connects with Taurus, your 3rd house of communication, spellcraft, and perception is awakened and activated. This month, your words become spells; there is a deeper magic behind your spoken manifestations and the will of your mind is on your side. LYou are not just speaking—you are casting. The way you communicate with the world is being rewired, re-enchanted, and recharged with spiritual electricity.
Your intuition is dialed way up. May is filled with prophetic symbols, unexpected messages, and psychic flashes disguised as mundane moments. Listen to the elders that reside in spirit. Read between lines. Your spirit guides are speaking in code.
Neptune, your ruling planet, continues to mystify your 1st house—and a clarity will rise into the depths of who you are and how you walk the pathways of this world. You may feel invisible or hyper-visible, raw or radiant. Let it all move through you. You’re being re-formed in sacred mystery.
Full Moon in Libra Scorpio — May 12
This Full Moon enters within your 9th house—the realm of higher wisdom, spiritual expansion, and the soul’s long arc of learning. This is a powerful moon for initiation. It may mark the end of a belief system, the completion of a karmic teaching, or the arrival of a new spiritual path. Allow it to shift and to grow and to change; for it’s the only constant after all. It might feel strange not aligning with truths you once carried proud in your heart and that’s okay.
You may feel a powerful call to study something deeper—mysticism, ancient languages, akashic work, energy healing. Follow it. This is the beginning of a new way of seeing.
