Hey, Gemini, this is your look at the astrology of May 2021. My name is Katie Sweetman and this is Empowering Astrology. So let’s look at this month. Actually, this is a big month for you, Gemini. And in a way, it ties back to some things that were happening at the end of last year and also the middle of 2020. And that’s eclipses.
So you may or may not know this, but we’ve been having eclipses in Gemini and Sagittarius. Sagittarius is what’s called your opposite sign, it’s your relationship sign since the middle of 2020. When eclipses are happening in your sign, you will have a solar eclipse and Gemini on June 10th. Your life is sort of doing a thing. That’s a technical term. It’s doing a thing at the moment. It’s like the tectonic plates are moving. It’s like there’s a sense that things are shifting and changing and you’re preparing for the next chapter of your life.
So let’s sort of start with the nitty gritty. Mercury, your planet. It goes into Gemini on May 3rd. So this is on some level, it’s a rebirth. It’s a renewal. It’s time to move forward. It’s Taurus season this month. So it’s you know, we have to sort of also point out that Taurus is your last sign of the Zodiac and it sort of talks about this need to let go, to surrender, to prepare for the next chapter of your life.
So you’ve sort of got one foot in something new, but you still got another foot in something else.
And maybe you’re having to sort of go through the inventory of your life right now. This could include emotional, spiritual and maybe even physical as well, because, you know, Taurus does talk about the physicality of life and the things that we own. And maybe you have to get rid of some things. Maybe you have to like clean things out, move things out, shake things up in order to prepare for this next new chapter. So, you know, if you’re feeling a little tired, if you want to take a rest, it’s the natural time in your, let’s say, your Zodiac calendar to do so.
But at the same time, it’s like you want to rest.
You want to, you know, look within and maybe meditate or do some existential soul searching. But then at the same time, life is still pushing and pulling at you.
I will also add that on May 8th, Venus goes into Gemini as well. So we’re starting to get this crossover from Taurus season into Gemini season, even though we’re not quite there yet.
But while that’s happening, sort of the big news this month, one of the big news this month, and it’s not just the eclipses, is that Jupiter goes into Pisces on May 13th. So here’s why this is a big deal for you.
Gemini, Pisces is your sign of your career. So you’re sort of stepping into a time in your professional life. It’s about career growth, career opportunities. Maybe you’re thinking, yes, that’s great.
Maybe you’ve spent the past year or however long trying to get classes.
We’ll focus on education, maybe getting the certificates, the specialized training that you need for your professional life. But Jupiter going into Pisces, it will dip into Pisces on May 13. That dips out on July 28th, but then it goes back in at the end of this year. So think of May to July as some sort of a preview. Jupiter, sometimes astrologers can put a lot of promise on Jupiter. And I typically try not to oversell Jupiter, but Jupiter has got a lot of things going for it.
In Pisces, it’s a sign we say in astrology that Jupiter is ruled by Pisces. So Jupiter is going to have a lot of strength and dignity in your professional life. And it’s sort of opening doors. It’s you maybe getting that promotion. Maybe it’s also giving you the courage and bravery and the confidence to leave something that you need to leave or maybe you haven’t been able to move out of. This includes a lot of things in life. I think Jupiter, on some level it’s growth, but it’s also the freedom.
You know, maybe it’s the opportunities that you didn’t have or maybe things were stagnant or in the way and suddenly things are finally starting to move. Jupiter is also your relationship sign.
So it’s also moving something and relationships and I mean all relationships, not just romantic relationships.
If you are single, for example, maybe, you know, Jupiter going into Pisces sort of shifts that story a little bit.
You meet somebody or it’s somebody whom, you know, you really want to build a life with.
It’s a little bit more serious than maybe that somebody from the past, maybe if you’re in a current relationship, it’s time for a new chapter. You know what? It’s a romantic partnership or a marriage or even just a one on one connection that you have in your life, but that said, it is more about your professional life at the moment, really pay attention to some of the stories that are starting to come up around May 13th, a kind of astrologer that I always talk about the stories and there’s going to be a seed that’s planted around the 13th of May that it’s going to take you into 2022.
So it’s always good just to, you know, put in your Google calendar. No, sorry, no endorsements, but, you know, put into whatever calendar that you have or whatever notes you take, you know, you know, what are you doing, what are you thinking, what’s going on in your professional life, what’s going on in relationships to the other thing that’s happening this month?
Sure. It’s going to be your birthday party, May 20th.
Yeah, the sun goes into Pisces and then you’re going to feel like you can finally start to get some traction and movement.
But I think when the sun goes into Pisces, it’s going to start to bring some energetic movement, some of this other stuff that’s brewing, namely this lunar eclipse that’s on the 26th of May. Before we get to that lunar eclipse, I don’t want to forget to talk about that new moon that’s on May 11th. Yes, I was saying a few moments ago that you need to sort of prepare for this new life, you know, all these things that are starting to move.
And they like, they want to move fast. And you’re Gemini, you like to move fast.
But there’s still some stuff that has to be taken care of from the past. And I think that that’s where that new moon on May 11th comes in and that’s giving you sort of this push to really sort, to go through, to let go to get very clear about what you need in your life.
You know, maybe there’s a tendency to accumulate stuff with Gemini loves a lot of different things, but I think there’s a greater question of value right now and even spiritual value.
There might be things that you have in your life, but it’s like, is this what I truly need in my life that’s sort of the question that’s been opened up for you with this new moon on May 11. Another thing that I forgot to mention is that Saturn also turns retrograde on May 23rd.
Saturn is in what’s called your ninth sign. The ninth sign for any zodiac sign is all about faith, truth and meaning.
So I think you’re just in this larger period of time where you have to answer deeper existential questions. And I think Saturn is really trying to get you to be precise about what you believe in.
What’s your truth, what’s your meaning? This part of the chart for you is more about the world, meaning what do you believe in in the world? Your education? What has education taught you to believe in?
Or even religion, if that’s relevant to you? So I think Saturn is really touching on deeper themes around faith right now.
It’s also talking about convictions and maybe even legal matters, if this is something that’s relevant to you. But you sort of have to get very clear with what you believe in at the moment, because Saturn is sort of, you know, really pressing upon you right now. And let’s keep in mind that 2021 is a year because Saturn is over here and then Uranus is over here and they’re making something called a square this year.
And as you sort of, you know, start to feel the tension between different parts of your life as you start to go into the middle part of May and even June as well. And it’s like this is one foot in a new life and another foot in an old life. Maybe you’re really feeling the tension or maybe you’re really using it to kind of step up into this new time in your life. But then there’s the full moon.
And I was referring to on May 26th as a full moon in Sagittarius. It’s also a lunar eclipse. So this is the real start of eclipse season. You will feel the buildup of energy all month long. And really, this eclipse for you is about relationships so really pay attention to the relationship themes that are coming up for you, whether it’s an ex coming out of the woodwork or some old interpersonal, you know, theme that you’re working through or even new people coming into your life or even you having to make a decision about a relationship because lunar eclipses, they sort of demand that we take action, that we make a decision, that we move in whatever direction that we need to move in or sort of life moves us.
Because the thing about eclipses is that there’s an element of fate to eclipses. They sort of rearrange our lives.
It’s sort of says that this chapter is over. Now sits this chapter that’s begun and like I said, this is in your relationship sign of Sagittarius. This eclipse, does talk about faith and truth or these other themes that are also present for you right now.
But I think with Jupiter in Pisces at the time of this full moon, there’s something about this eclipse that’s really marking a major new chapter for you. And maybe there’s a shift in relationships, maybe something comes in. Maybe you and a partner need to take things to the next, bigger level in your life. And then at the end of the month, we have mercury turning retrograde on May 30th. So, yes, it’s time for another Mercury retrograde. This mercury does turn retrograde in Gemini, your sign, Gemini, you know the drill. Just Mercury retrograde for you is a time to pull back instead of pushing forward. The time to reflect, instead of really taking action. It’s the natural ebb and flow of life, you know, because mercury will turn retrograde and Gemini just double check your communication. Double check, double check your communication with family, with a partner. Are you being clear? Are you getting your needs met? Mercury will turn retrograde square Neptune.
And this does talk about these sort of bigger themes that have been happening in your professional life for many years, making sure that whatever decisions that you’re making in your professional life align with your spiritual values. Mercury will be retrograde into June, no big deal. Like I said, you know the drill.
