May is action packed with three planets turning retrograde!
Fortunately Mercury is not going retrograde until June.
However Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all retrograde in May. Pluto was the first to go retrograde late April in Capricorn (Uttara Ashadha nakshatra), then:
• Saturn retrograde May 10 @ 7:49 Capricorn (Uttara Ashadha nakshatra) • Venus retrograde May 12 @ 27:42 Taurus (Mrigasira nakshatra) • Jupiter is last to turn retrograde on May 14 @ 3:06 Capricorn (Uttara Ashadha nakshatra).
Whew!
Your May horoscopes are up for you now on my website, and your new and full Moon forecasts are also clearly labeled within the forecast in bold. Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, rule (in traditional Vedic astrology) six of the twelve zodiac signs!
Simply put half of the houses in every birth chart have the potential to feel the impact of these retrograde planets, especially around the time that they are stationing to go retrograde which is about a day or two prior to the actual dates I noted above.
That said, the earth and planets in your birth chart in the earth trines (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) have the potential to feel this influence more than the others. Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter all go retrograde within earthly Capricorn and Venus is retrograde in earthly Taurus.
Earth signs represent stability and wealth, community and security. They also represent our crops (Taurus) and the harvest from our crops (Virgo), literally and figuratively and stability, goal oriented and working hard to achieve the top of the mountain in career (Capricorn).
I will have the new and full Moon forecasts posted on your horoscope page by May 6. If you would like crystal grids and tarot cloths for your new and full Moon rituals - you can find them here

For my western astrology friends, please remember I use the sidereal zodiac and the calculations for planetary transits are different than the tropical zodiac calculations.
The influences I am sharing below are part of the monthly horoscopes by sign where relevant and my forecasts are written for non-astrologers and astrologers alike.
