Bella Geraci/Allure
Read your sign's 2024 horoscope to see what's in store for you this year, or check out the Gemini personality profile.
Welcome to May, Gemini. Your season begins this month. Plus, with romantic Venus and lucky Jupiter lining up in your sign, the stars bring blessings to your career, creative endeavors, and love life. During April, your horoscope brought up Mercury retrograde and a cool but potentially chaotic eclipse. With the right amount of self-care, however, you may not have even noticed either. May should be less stressful, but continuing to pamper yourself will still make things flow smoother.
First up on Thursday, May 2, Pluto, the planet of transformation, goes retrograde in cool kid Aquarius. You think you know everything, but this transit is ready to call you out. What have you been doing that secretly makes you unhappy? Whether it's a relationship that you're so over but staying in, or a job that's weighing you down but you stick with it because it's not, like, horrible, you have to confront your own contradictions.
Tuesday, May 7 brings a new moon in Taurus that sees you coming to terms with parts of yourself that stress you out. Not that you should be worried about anything, Gemini, but even you, charismatic and beloved one, struggle with self-acceptance at times. New moons are lunations that mark beginnings and fresh starts. When paired with prayer, meditation, or indulging in luxe beauty routines, this dark new moon helps you love yourself as much as others do.
Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, goes retrograde in Capricorn and your 8th House of Sex on Tuesday, May 14. This transit asks you to reevaluate how you approach physical affection. Perhaps you need to step away from dating apps or the hook-up scene and focus on yourself for a while. However, this shift from Ceres could also indicate that a casual relationship is getting more serious. Allow yourself to welcome whatever feels right.
Your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, enters Taurus on Wednesday, May 15. This transit intensifies your inner voices, which could be a little anxiety-provoking but also brings forth themes of forgiveness and self-acceptance. Reflect on past missteps but with the goal of letting go, forgiving yourself, and moving forward.
The following day, on Thursday, May 16, Pallas, the asteroid of wisdom that's currently in retrograde, moves into intense Scorpio. This alignment serves as a reminder of the importance of slowing down. In the hustle of daily responsibilities, remember that self-care is not just a luxury but a necessity to prevent burnout. Prioritize your health and well-being to maintain your coveted vitality, Gemini. Self-care always makes you more productive in the long run.
Gemini season officially begins on Monday, May 20, marking the start of your solar return. Happy birthday, Gemini. This is a time for celebration and setting intentions for your personal new year. And, of course, make plans with friends and family, blood and chosen, as everyone will be eager to celebrate you.
Thursday, May 23 is a big day you might want to mark on your calendar. For one, the cosmic gifts continue with a full moon in Sagittarius, illuminating your 7th House of Partnership. This lunar event is likely to point to a deepening of commitment. However, as fulfilling as this may be, remember that full moons can also heighten emotions and induce changes, so continue to practice self-care amidst these developments to avoid getting too stressed out.
Also on Thursday, May 23, sweet Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters your sign, enhancing your charm and attractiveness. This transit adds sweetness and connection to your romantic relationships, which could come in a variety of forms, like adding intimacy to something casual or helping you reconnect with your spouse.
Finally, on Saturday, May 25, lucky Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, enters your sign. Jupiter in Gemini boosts your confidence, amplifying magnetism, not to mention your potential, in almost every area of life. Whatever Jupiter touches tends to grow, so expect personal projects, from creative hobbies to love affairs, to blossom at the end of the month. Enjoy all the beauty May brings, Gemini, and we'll see you in June.
