Read for your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs By Laura Lopez | House of Clovers

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)

May invites you to slow down, Aries — and that is not a punishment. After one of the most fiery, action-packed Aries seasons in recent memory, the cosmos are asking you to come back into your body and build with intention rather than impulse. The Full Moon in Scorpio on May 1st can bring partnership clarity, illuminating the truth of your closest relationships and what needs to shift. The New Moon in Taurus on May 16th opens a powerful new chapter in your finances and self-worth — it is time to charge what you are worth and stop apologizing for your needs. When Mars enters Taurus on the 18th, your energy stabilizes into something more powerful than speed: persistence. The Blue Moon on May 31st expands your beliefs and the vision you hold for your life. Think bigger, Aries. You have earned it.

Healing focus: You are allowed to rest without losing momentum.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)

This is your month, Taurus, and it is a beautiful one. The Scorpio Full Moon on May 1st sits directly opposite your Sun, bringing truth to the surface in your closest partnerships — what has been unsaid is ready to be spoken. Then, on May 16th, the New Moon falls in your sign — your personal reset for the entire year ahead. The New Moon in Taurus supports long-term plans. Set your most grounded, embodied intentions. What do you want to build? What does your soul truly value? When Mars enters your sign on the 18th, you gain a slow, steady, unstoppable drive to move toward what matters.

Healing focus: Your steadiness is your greatest strength. Trust your pace.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

May is a month of preparation and then ignition for you, Gemini. The first half of the month asks for rest, reflection, and clearing space internally before your season begins. The Scorpio Full Moon on May 1st activates your hidden places — emotions that have been operating underground are ready to surface. Honor them.
