Hey, Virgo, this is your look at the astrology of May 2021. My name is Katie Sweetman and this is Empowering Astrology. So let’s recap some bigger picture things. Sort of set the scene for May because there’s a lot of stuff going on in May. And number one is that it’s Taurus season. So Taurus season is about money, stability, income. I like to say to people, it’s like money in the bank, food in the kitchen, roof over your head.
It’s like that really basic stuff that we all need in order to feel safe and secure in this world. So it’s a time to sort of refocus on your material life. But then there’s the other side of it now for you, because you’re a Virgo, Taurus is your sign of faith, truth and meaning. It sort of helps you to to get a sense of the world, to look outward, to focus on education, travel, if that’s something that you can do, of course.
But it’s a very worldly facing month for you. Now, Taurus there can talk about a couple of things.
You know, sometimes you can get a little, you know, fixed and how you see things. And I say this because we’ve been feeling this since last month, April 2021. But Uranus is also in Taurus and Uranus, in astrology is this planet of awakenings, shakeups, reinvention. And maybe you’re in this time as you come into Taurus season, you need to see things differently. You need to shake up how you see the world. You need to reinvent what you believe in and sort of maybe you’re going to the season sort of with the sense of like maybe, maybe these sort of tectonic plates are shifting in your life right now.
You know, speaking of things shifting, this is an eclipse month. And when we go, I mean, kind of getting a little bit ahead of myself. But on May 11th, we will have a Taurus new moon and that Taurus new moon again highlights material stability, material security, what do you value, even your own self worth. But it also talks about these themes that I was just speaking of, to sort of this looking outward into the world and trying to figure out and make sense of things.
So it’s a time to sort of reset, focus on education, new education initiatives. But two weeks later, again, I’m getting a little ahead of myself, there’s going to be a lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on May 26th. So as we get into the middle of the month, we’re going to start to see things shake and shift and move. So hold that thought.
So let’s go back to the beginning of May, as we open May of 2021 on May 3rd, Mercury goes into Gemini, Mercury is at home in Gemini and Gemini for you is your career sign, so Mercury sort of puts, a, you know, brings a boost to your career and maybe your professional life gets really busy.
Maybe you’re making plans, making moves. Gemini is a sign that doesn’t sit still. Maybe you’re having to make some decisions, but there’s a lot of movement in your professional life. But do keep in mind that later this month, Mercury turns retrograde on May 30th. So really pay attention to the stories and the themes and the choices that you are making in your professional life or your professional direction or just direction in general, because you are likely going to have to go back and revisit it as you go into June of 2021.
Not that you should worry about Mercury retrograde, but it does require some due diligence. So, yes, your professional life is a bit of a focus this month as well, especially as we go into Gemini season later this month. Speaking of Gemini, Venus also goes into Gemini on May 8th.
So you’re starting to see the planets start to move towards the top of your chart.
Top of the chart is about your professional life, professional reputation, the roles and duties that you carry in the world, and sort of the title after your name. So, you know, as you go into June, like you’re going to really be focusing on your professional life, especially because there’s going to be a solar eclipse on June 10th. And that talks about new beginnings, shifts and changes and job changes as you go into June. So maybe you’re sort of preparing for that.
Maybe there’s a sense that you need to do your Virgo work and plan, I know how you like to plan, but there is you know, you’re sort of getting ready for this bigger shift. So speaking of shifts, on May 13th, Jupiter goes into Pisces.
Now, this is this is a big deal. You know, Jupiter spends about a year in each sign. And if you’re, you know, maybe really eagled eyed in your knowledge of astrology you’re like, wait a second, Jupiter, it went into Aquarius on December 20th, 2020, that hasn’t been a year. Well, Jupiter moves a little fast in this part of the sky for astronomical reasons. That’s a whole other topic.
But this is going to be a couple of things for you. Number one is your relationship sign. So you’re stepping into a yearlong chapter of which this is a preview because Jupiter will only spend a few months. It goes in, it goes out and it’s back in in December of 2021. But it’s saying that you’re sort of starting to arc into a period of your life where it is about relationship. Now this means all relationship, not just romantic relationships.
So Jupiter, it creates growth, it inspires us to be, you know, take initiative and to be brave and to go out there and meet people, bring new opportunities. And but it could mean that, yes, people are starting to come into your life or your relationship story is starting to change because Jupiter is right at home in Pisces, it’s it’s in the sign that it rules. And so it has a lot of strength and dignity. And when you see that, it sort of puts more of the energetic emphasis on that part of your life.
So, yes, relationships are a big focus in 2021. And I think it’s getting you ready for even 2023. I know I’m going super down the road because, 2023, March of 2023 is when Saturn gets to Pisces. So maybe you’re meeting people and maybe it started talking about this bigger story arc where more serious relationships are coming in a little bit, a little bit down the road for you. But Jupiter is also your sign of home and family. And with Jupiter changing signs, it’s also going to shift some of this eclipse energy. Yes, we’re going into eclipse season. And so it’s getting you ready for changes in your home environment. So with there’s actually going to be a Sagittarius full moon on May 26, Sagittarius forms what’s called like the bottom of your chart.
And so this eclipse is going right to the roots, right to the foundation. And when you see an eclipse in this part of the chart, it’s very, you know, classic astrology that there’s a home sorry, there’s a change in the home. There’s a move. That’s what I meant to say. There’s a move. There’s a change in your living situation. People move. When people move out, your family grows, especially if you are adding to your family, the birth a child or people, you know, coming into your family.
And like I said, you know, classic astrology is that there’s a move. So maybe you’re preparing for a move. Maybe you’re moving in with a partner, maybe a partner is moving in with you. Maybe you’re getting a roommate. Maybe you’re like, I don’t want to live alone anymore. It’s the pandemic. It sucks. So really pay attention to what’s going on in your home environment. And I would say go back and look at that.
We had a solar eclipse in Sagittarius back on December 17th, no December 14th of 2020 because that, you know, everything astrology is about this continued story and narrative and you’ve had eclipses in this part of your chart, home, family since June of 2020 and then again in November, December of 2020. So really think about where you want to live or if you like, where you live, what do you do in order to make it feel like home and that that means bringing somebody in to live with you or increasing your family.
That might be a way in which this astrology or this eclipse manifests.
But let’s also not forget that, this month, that Saturn turns retrograde, it turns retrograde on May 23rd. Saturn for you, is in your sign of health and wellness. Yes, you are in a time until 2023 where you need to get serious about how you take care of yourself, the foods you eat, the exercise you do or not do, how you organize your life, how you organize your day, and sort of the duties and responsibilities that we all need to to do so.
Saturn, you know, when it turns retrograde, it’s like these different stops in an ongoing story, an ongoing story that takes us into 2023. And Saturn, in a way, checking the receipts, Saturn’s the planet of accountability, it just for in the case of Saturn and Aquarius in what’s called your sixth house, it just wants you healthier. It wants you more grounded. It wants you to pay attention to the details. It wants you to get organized.
And if you’re not, this is where you might feel Saturn’s retrograde change.
You know, Saturn is turning retrograde in what’s called a square to Uranus, so I think this is a really great time to reframe it positively, to make healthy changes, not just lasting, healthy changes, but maybe even a change that is a reinvention, something radical, something that’s a really big shift because Uranus is really trying to get you back to you right now. And maybe it’s saying that some of these beliefs that you’ve had about yourself have been negatively impacting how you take care of yourself, how you organize your day, the projects you’re involved in.
So it just might be a little tense as you get into the middle of May. But then again, May also has a lunar eclipse. And let’s also, like I said, there’s going to be a solar eclipse on June 10th. So life is shaking, shifting and moving. Virgo, I know you. I’m sure you have a plan. And maybe this is just a time to not have a plan or maybe at the time to have a new plan.
So just allow yourself some flexibility at this time and focus on relationships and having the connections you need in order to navigate this time. So. Oh, and let’s also not let’s not forget Mercury turns retrograde on May 30th. Mercury is your planet. It turns retrograde in Gemini. Gemini is your career sign. So, again, I guess this is the beginning.
If you are making some some big choices in your professional life, just do your due diligence, because when mercury turns retrograde, it’s a possibility; it’s not a hundred percent, but it’s a possibility that you have to walk back on something, to look at things from a different perspective or something’s not fully resolved until much later, in June.
