Your May 2020 Horoscope Is Here, And 3 Planets Are Going Retrograde This Month

Prepare for good energy on the 22nd. - by Korin Miller
  • 01 May 2020

There’s a lot going on with the planets this month, and it’s all going to add up to one major vibe for you: You just want, nay, need a break.

Three planets are moving retrograde this month: Saturn on the 11th, Venus on the 13th, and Jupiter on the 14th. Of course, each one has its own ~thing~ going on that's gonna affect your life. Saturn’s movement makes you want to get your act together and brush up on your skills at work; Venus urges you to break out of your rut and have fun; and Jupiter pushes you to have faith that everything’s going to be juuuust fine, m’kay?

WATCH: Your star sign also dictates what doggo you should get...

After all that runs its (reverse) course, the new moon on the 22nd brings a lighter energy—and not a second too soon. You’re more than ready to get out there, and just live life on your terms.

Here's what else is in store for your zodiac sign this month, according to Donna Page, a professional astrologer with a graduate degree in counselling psychology.

ARIES (MARCH 21–APRIL 19)

You’re kicking off May with personal finances on your mind, Aries. The full moon on the 7th triggers a desire to make sure you feel financially secure, and you’ll be working hard to do just that (a.k.a. press pause on the online shopping). Jupiter goes retrograde on the 14th in your natural house of work and career, making it a great time to speak up about your ideas.

When the sun moves into Gemini on the 20th, you’ll be ready to explore new places—in your imagination and IRL (maybe plan a getaway for 2021?). After that, the new moon on the 22nd makes you crave learning new things, so don’t pass up that workshop your boss suggests or Skillshare coupon from a friend.

TAURUS (APRIL 20–MAY 20)

It’s time to do a rethink on your finances, Taurus, and it’s all thanks to Venus going retrograde in your house of money and self-worth. How much money do you really need to be happy and financially secure?

When Saturn goes retrograde on the 11th, you'll be ready to snag the latest tech at work. That new software your company is rolling out? You’re the first in line to learn about it. Then comes the new moon on the 22nd, helping you realise you’ve got some serious side skills. Can you make money off of your ability to memorize every Cardi B song ever made? Because it might come in handy…

GEMINI (MAY 21–JUNE 20)

There's been a lot happening lately, and you’re ready to just ~chill~. That’s cool, because the sun is travelling through a sector of your chart that represents wanting to get away from it all. Even if you can’t go anywhere, take some time to just put your phone on silent and shut everyone out for a bit. It’ll be amazing for your mental health.

The full moon on the 7th is in your house of everyday life and routine, pushing you to focus on what you can (and can’t) control. You’ll be motivated to get a lot of stuff on your to-do list out of the way at once, so you can move on to more fun stuff.

Then, when Venus goes retrograde on the 13th, it stirs up a sweet energy for you. Little things will come your way, and you’ll find some cool, new ways to pamper yourself. At the same time, you’ll be thinking about your ideal career path. Are you on it, or is it time to make a change? Only you know the answer.

CANCER (JUNE 21–JULY 22)

Here’s the thing: There’s a lot of stuff in life you can’t control, and that can be freaky. The full moon on the 7th is going to make that crystal clear to you. But, at the same time, you’ll learn to go with the flow.

Towards the end of the month, you’ll start to think about the times when you’ve been your own worst enemy. So yeah, maybe you don’t ~always~ make the best choices, but you’re only human, right? Recognizing your weak spots—and actually doing something about them—will help you move forward stronger than ever.

Later, the new moon on the 22nd will inspire you to mull over how certain actions in your life can make you feel (like how you feel like a superhero after getting in a tough sweat sesh). Little self-discoveries like that will only push you to be your healthiest, most badass self.

LEO (JULY 23–AUGUST 22)

You’re crushing it at work RN, Leo, but do you feel like you’re getting enough downtime to balance it out? And, if not, what’re you going to do to make sure you take care of you, too? Venus is in your house of friendships, urging you to think about who has made the cut for your inner circle. Do you feel like you’re getting as much back as you’re putting out there? And do you have too-high expectations for your buddies? Just a few things to consider.

Life might be a little bonkers, but Jupiter is here to reassure you to have faith that things will all work out. After all, they always do. Just a heads up: Someone is going to reach out to you for help this month—be ready to lend a hand.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23–SEPTEMBER 22)

You actually have a ton of knowledge about different things, Virgo, and this month you’re going to be dying to share it. Got a friend who’s searching for the perfect sandal? You know the online shop with the best deals. Your sister is stressed about finding the right flowers for your mum? You’ve got it handled.

Venus is also in your house of career, making you wonder what, exactly, you want to be known for in your work. When the sun moves into Gemini on the 20th, you’ll feel super confident about your ideas to develop your professional life. Don’t hesitate to lean on your friends right now—they’ll have amazing advice for you.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23–OCTOBER 22)

Your money is your money, Libra, and sometimes you just want to spend it on the stuff that makes you feel good, amirite? The full moon on the 7th has got your back. You’ll be ready to splurge on the stuff you’re passionate about, and you'll be ready to ditch the stuff that doesn’t make you feel good.

Venus goes retrograde on the 13th in your house of higher education and what you believe, inspiring you to expand your mind. It’s all connected with the planet Neptune, which pushes you to learn about music, painting, and fashion. Maybe you could make your own clothes. Now, all you need is a sewing machine…

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23–NOVEMBER 21)

You know those moments when things are just working for you? You’re in it this month, Scorpio, and it’s all thanks to the full moon on the 7th. This moon will make you feel really strong and confident. You’ve got this—no matter what "this" is—and you’ll have a massive sense of taking charge of your life.

Saturn is in an area of your chart about home and family this month, making you buckle down and figure out what you need to do to feel safe and secure. Meanwhile, Jupiter moves into your house of communication, helping you learn stuff that’s actually useful. Your months-long plan to learn how to rig up your own sound system? Done and done.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22–DECEMBER 21)

Repeat after the universe, Sag: It’s all good. The full moon on the 7th is in your house of retreat, making you crave a nice balance between the daily grind and wanting to escape. Grab a book, pour a bath, and just chillll. Jupiter goes retrograde in your house of money on the 14th, reminding you to have faith in your financial well-being.

At the same time, Saturn is in a sector of your chart this month about everyday skills. Brush up on those—especially the ones you can flex at work—and those worries about your finances will melt away. Ultimately, the universe says you’re going to get what you want and be just fine, TYVM.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 19)

Set up a Zoom chat ASAP, Cap, because the full moon is in your house of friendships on the 7th, making it the perfect time to connect with your buds. You’ll leave feeling refreshed and ready to return to the grind, knowing plenty of people have your back.

This month, Venus also makes you wonder if you still love what you’re doing. Are you in your perfect job yet? If not, what’s it going to take to get there? On the 14th, Jupiter sends energy your way as a reminder to have faith in yourself. Whatever life throws at you, you’ve got it handled. You always do.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20–FEBRUARY 18)

Jewelyn Butron

The full moon on the 7th is in your house of career, Aquarius, making you wonder what you want to be best known for at work. Also, do you still feel as passionate about your main gig as you once did, or is it time for a change?

Meanwhile, the sun is in a sector of your chart about home and family, making you wonder whether you’ve actually aced that whole work-life balance. You’ll be all about having fun this month, but the universe is here with a solid reminder: You don’t have to spend a ton to have a blast. (Okay, PSA over.) Saturn will also push you to try to figure out what you want out of life. You’ll have some solid thoughts about whether you need to mix things up. Just don’t stress over it—there’s no rush.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19–MARCH 20)

You have a place to live, but is it ~really~ your home? That’ll be on your mind this month, Pisces, thanks to Venus going retrograde in your house of home and family. You’ll start to dream up new places and cities to explore down the road. Maybe you’ll start planning a move across the country, or simply to a new apartment. Whatever the deal, finding a spot that feels like yours will be a game-changer.

Mars moves into your sign on the 13th, lighting a fire under you to push forward in life. Your career, your goals—you’re on it. Jupiter also moves into your house of friendships and connections this month, making you ready to just sit down and talk to a good buddy. It seems simple enough, but sometimes it can do much more than you’d think.
