Oct 23 - Nov 21
Today's Horoscope This week This month
Scorpio horoscope for May 2024
There are some powerful forces in play this month and while the Sun, Venus and Mercury are all on the move, the greatest impact will come from Mars and Jupiter, planets that spend considerably longer in an area of your chart and can have a more significant impact. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of May in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time each year. However, the difference this year is that this comes just as Jupiter has reached the final weeks of his 12 month visit. It was Venus' return at the end of April that has brought the planets of love and luck together in your relationship sector for the first time in 12 years, making this a powerful month for all your relationships.
While the Sun will leave on 21st May, Venus on 24th May and Jupiter on 26th May Mercury, the planet of communication's return on 16th May will keep the momentum going and the communication lines open until Mars returns next month. Meanwhile, having just returned to your work sector as you move into the new month, Mars is just getting started when it comes to firing things up on the job front, as he works to not only fire up a drive to make things happen but your warrior and competitive spirit. As you move into the new month, 1st May is the first day of what could be the busiest six weeks of the year.
Fortunately, with Mercury here until 16th May, for the first half of the month anyway he will help you keep your head in the game and your feet on the ground, allowing you to work smarter. It is then that Mercury will return to your relationship sector, in time to ensure the communication lines open during the Sun, Venus and Jupiter's final days and after they leave. Between them, Mercury and Mars will keep the momentum going on the job and relationship fronts, but there are big changes afoot on the financial front. It begins with the Sun's return to your financial sector on 21st May, followed by Venus' return on 24th May and Jupiter's return on 26th May. This will ensure the planets of money and luck are together as you move into your biggest year for financial growth and expansion in over a decade.
Love & Romance
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of May in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year and will be until he leaves on 21st May. However, the Sun is not on his own, with Venus having returned at the end of last month while Jupiter is in the final weeks of a 12 month visit. By the time Jupiter returned to your relationship sector in May 2023, Venus had already moved through and until she leaves on 24th May this will put the planets of love and luck together here for the first time in over a decade. With Jupiter leaving on 26th May, this is going to make his final weeks some of the best and some of the most defining when it comes to setting your relationship parameters for the coming year.However, this will not be the end of the story with Mercury, the planet of communication making his belated return on 16th May. As one by one the Sun, Venus and Jupiter leave, Mercury will not only stay on, but this will give you a chance to focus more on having the communication lines open ahead of Mars' return next month. This is when the real fight will begin to turn what you want from your relationships and what they need from you into reality. It is before Mercury returns, before the Sun, Venus and Jupiter leave and while the planets of love and luck are together here for the first time in over a decade, that the Moon will not only move through from 7th May to 9th May but will create a New Moon on 8th May.
This will be an opportunity for new beginnings and to commit to the journey ahead. Meanwhile, while Mars has just left your romantic sector as we move into the new month, having spent six weeks firing up your romantic passions and fighting spirit and having spent his final days aligned with Neptune, the planet of dreams, this will leave you with something that you can continue to fight for. Helping to capture that will be the Moon's return from 3rd May to 5th May, with these romantically charged lunar vibes also giving you a chance for a reset as Saturn and Neptune stay on, but in a way that is more focused on the journey. The Moon will come full circle on 30th May, ending the month in your romantic sector.
Business & Career
In between Venus' departure from your work sector and Mars' return just as you are moving into the new month, you have had less than 48 hours to pause and make time to hear yourself think. When Mars returns it will be to begin what could be the busiest six weeks of 2024, while still in his early days in direct motion and with Venus and the Sun gone, Mercury was able to seize the chance to quietly get your head back in the game. This has also given you a chance to process the hindsight his three weeks in retrograde motion has left you with, though this will continue until Mercury leaves on 16th May.This will make it easier to work smarter and get a better sense of where to channel Mars warrior and competitive spirit while giving you more control over what can be a tendency to have too many plates in the air at the same time. Mars doesn't have an off switch and he doesn't care if you burn out, as he encourages you to pack as much into each day as possible. However, with Mars here until 9th June, time is on your side and the more you can pick your battles wisely the better. You will get an early read on this when the Moon returns for its first visit while Mars is here from 5th May to 7th May. Returning again early next month, there will be time then to start tying up loose ends.
This first visit is more a chance to get an intuitive read on work and job matters and an early read on where to channel Mars warrior and competitive spirit. Also giving Mars and work and job matters a boost will be the Moon's return to your career sector from 13th May to 16th May and its return to your income sector from 23rd May to 25th May as a Full Moon. In both cases, the Moon will move into a friendly aspect to Mars as it moves through. It is the Moon's return to your career sector that will sharpen your professional instincts and give you a better sense of the big picture, while a Full Moon in your income sector could have lucrative implications.
Money
With no planetary activity in either of your two money houses since the last of the planets returning to your income sector in 2023 finally left in February, it is the Moon's monthly visits that have been key to keeping you plugged in and both income and money matters on track. While that will still be the case when the Moon moves through your financial sector from 9th May to 11th April, by the time it leaves there will be a strong sense of change in the air. Partly because by the time the Moon leaves that change is just 10 days away and partly because it moves through, this will fuel your financial instincts and imagination while ensuring you are emotionally and intuitively engaged.By then you will be both closer to and your sixth sense will be more alert to the changes ahead. This is something that will happen in steps over the course of just five days, starting with the Sun's return to your financial sector on 21st May. This is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your financial situation and money matters, kicking off what will always be the most active months of the year on this side of the financial fence, the side where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have. It is three days later that Venus, the planet of money will return on 24th May, with a chance to fuel your financial confidence, update your financial desires and expectations and work to turn those desires into reality.
However, the real game changer will come when two days later Jupiter returns on 26th May to begin your biggest year for financial growth and expansion in over a decade. With Venus here when Jupiter returns and the planets of money and luck together for the first time here in 12 years, this will get things off to a positive and empowered start. While this is happening on the other side of the financial fence, this will also have an impact on the income side, turning the Moon's return to your income sector from 23rd May to 25th May into a Full Moon. Had this happened just a few days earlier this would be just an ordinary monthly visit and while still able to sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, with a lot more potency.
