Liberating Lunar Cycle: Mercury Uranus Ignites the Sagittarius Full Moon

Mercury combined with Uranus in Gemini will spark inventive ideas that can be applied through tangible actions in the month ahead. The lunar cycle that began with the Taurus New Moon on May 16 and culminates with the Sagittarius Full Moon on May 31 is especially fertile for creative renewal and breakthrough insights capable of inspiring innovative work, as the lunation will be followed by the uplifting conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on June 9. From May 17 through May 19, Mercury formed a conjunction with Uranus in Gemini followed by a sextile with Neptune and a trine with Pluto, activating a powerful configuration that will correspond with accelerated waves of change in July once Jupiter enters Leo and amplifies the larger pattern. As the Moon waxes toward fullness on May 31, Mercury will continue activating this breakthrough configuration while Mars and Venus also intensify its influence. From May 21 through May 28, Venus in Cancer moves from a square with Neptune into a square with Saturn, while Mars applies toward a square with Pluto that becomes exact on May 26. Listen closely to the ideas arriving now, for the atmosphere is electric with innovative insights waiting to be received, developed, and acted upon in ways that may prove more important than currently apparent. Pay attention to conversations within your relationships and wider networks, noticing what is being reflected about the ways we are changing, our relationships are evolving, and the larger world is being reshaped. Mercury will become visible as an evening star while also traveling out of bounds in extreme northern declination as the lunar cycle builds toward the Sagittarius Full Moon on May 31. In addition, Mercury will remain in a potent phase of its synodic cycle through the Gemini New Moon on June 14. Altogether, the lunar cycle ahead is ideal for ideas gaining traction through tangible action, while cultivating awareness of new callings, directions, and possibilities emerging along the path ahead. In the video I give the date of June 9 for the Sagittarius Full Moon - I apparently had the Jupiter Venus conjunction on June 9 in my head - so keep in mind that the Sagittarius Full Moon is actually May 31!!!

Taurus New Moon: Mercury, Ceres, and the Reseeding of Reality

The New Moon in Taurus on May 16, 2026 marks a shift away from the astrological intensity of recent months. The astrology of late May and June lacks the unusually disruptive alignments that dominated the first four months of 2026, creating space to process the extraordinary collective changes that have reshaped reality and global power structures since the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in February. A key focus this week is the superior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun in Taurus on May 14, a moment of purification and illumination when Mercury enters the heart of the Sun. Importantly, Mercury will be joined by Ceres within the Sun’s sacred inner chamber. Both Mercury and Ceres will be purified and reanimated by the solar fire on the same day, making this a powerful time for contemplation, self-reflection, meditation, divination, or any practice that can bring greater clarity and insight into the trajectory of your story. The reanimation of Mercury and Ceres on May 14 and the New Moon in Taurus on May 16 will be followed by Mercury entering Gemini and catalyzing breakthrough ideas through its first conjunction with Uranus in Gemini. Overall, this is a powerful period for gaining inner clarity while cultivating new ideas and creative directions that can continue to develop as we approach the extraordinarily potent astrological alignments of July and August.

May 2026 Astrology: Breakthroughs Between Two Full Moons

Aerin Fogel joins me to discuss the astrology of May 2026. The month begins with a Full Moon in Scorpio and ends with a Full Moon in Sagittarius, with a series of dynamic aspects in between that signal breakthroughs, change, and growth. May serves as a transitional bridge between the recent frenzy of rapid shifts and the powerful alignments arriving in July that will accelerate events even further. It is an important month for regaining your bearings, reorienting your path, and building momentum for the dramatic changes ahead. Among other dynamics, we discuss Mars in Aries square Jupiter in Cancer, Mercury in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius, Pluto stationing retrograde, Mercury superior conjunction in Taurus, Mercury and the Sun conjunct Uranus in Gemini, Venus in Cancer square Saturn and Neptune in Aries, Mercury in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius, Mars in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius, and more. The middle of the month marks a pivotal turn, beginning with the New Moon in Taurus on May 16, followed by Mars entering Taurus and Venus entering Cancer on May 18. These shifts will significantly alter the breakneck pace of recent months, creating greater opportunities for grounding, adjusting to internal changes, and moving forward with greater stability and purpose.

Uranus in Gemini: Communication Revolution

Uranus in Gemini marks periods of rapid change in how people think, communicate, and connect. Across history, this cycle has coincided with revolutions in information systems: the printing press and the Reformation, the telegraph and the Civil War, early computing and World War II. The recurring patterns of old ways of understanding reality breaking down and new systems and knowledge paradigms emerging with Uranus in Gemini corresponds to the current cycle of AI, media disruption, information overload, and the need to define what is true. On personal levels the entrance of Uranus into Gemini will bring radical change, new ideas and conceptions emerging in surprising ways, with the potential to liberate previous conceptions of self that were limiting to open exciting new pathways of creative directions in thought, communication, language, invention, and more. Uranus entering Gemini is the final piece to activate the flowing configuration with Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius that will bring accelerated change and breakthroughs in the months and years ahead.
