May 2022 Astrological Monthly Forecast
May 2022, the month of Blooming, marks the transition from spring to summer.
May 2022 is the month of renewal, but also shows a troubled month with a major transit from Jupiter to Aries, an intense Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio, retrograde Mercury in Gemini/Taurus and retrograde Pluto in Capricorn. 
We are in an unprecedented cosmic transformation, a total reset of all social, economic and geopolitical systems.
This cycle of transformation will take about 20 years and will last until 2040.
What we see happening now is a foretaste of the new world.
The prospect of the unknown can be unsettling and frightening.
As Above, So Below…..
As an astrologer I can show you the way and clarify what is going on.
The message isn’t always easy and I can’t make it more beautiful than it is, but I want to paint an astrological picture as accurately as possible that can help navigate in a new world, which is so unstable.
What will May 2022 bring us?
May 2022 opens with Beltane, the Celtic festival that symbolizes the transition from Spring to Summer. It is the festival of the goddess Freya, the goddess of Love, Fertility and Sensuality that symbolizes the union of man and woman, which is reflected in human relationships.
At the beginning of May 2022, everyone with their natal Sun or ascendant in the element of Water or Earth will have a last chance to turn things around for the better, thanks to the beneficial support of Jupiter in Pisces, Mars in Pisces and the Sun in Taurus.
We’re shifting gear as from April 30, 2022 to July 5, 2022, the cosmic Messenger Mercury travels through its own sign of Gemini.
This lighthearted and versatile Gemini energy is all about communication and connection.
Where there’s a will there’s a way!
The Gemini symbol is a bridged bipod, so there are two sides to the Gemini. In this age of survival, the passive, adaptive side of Gemini is overshadowed by the other, the more outgoing, responsive side.
We are shouting just to be heard.
Especially now it is important to integrate these two sides of Gemini by listening to each other in order to achieve a better mutual understanding.
On May 5, 2022, the annual conjunction of the Sun conjunct the freedom fighter Uranus in Taurus will take place.
This conjunction can be the cause to innovative, but highly volatile and unpredictable events on the world stage and in our personal lives.
During this unpredictable and volatile energy, Mercury goes retrograde for the second time this year in its own Air sign Gemini and the Great Benefactor Jupiter, the planet of expansion, leaves watery Pisces for fiery Aries from May 11, 2022 and remains there until October 28, 2022.
This transit of Jupiter into Aries makes us more self-motivated, but that assertive “now it’s my turn” attitude will allow us to achieve our goals.
In the fiery House of Aries, ruled by Mars, the expanding operation of Jupiter in Aries form mid-May 2022 could lead to turbulent developments such as extreme weather events, war, turmoil, high inflation, upheaval, rising food prices, more scarcity, financial collapse and ecological losses, further inflation and interest rate hikes, rising costs of living, transportation, services, utilities, health care, hospitals, nursing homes, colleges and universities, border control and frontline services.
The period May 11, 2022 to May 16, 2023 with Jupiter in the fire sign of Aries, we begin to get used to the new world we live in.
Aries carries with it the energy of new beginnings, paving the way for Pluto’s prolonged transit into Aquarius from January 2024 to early 2044. (Pluto already temporarily tastes Aquarius’ freedom from late March to early June 2023).
From October 28 to December 20, 2022, Jupiter will temporarily return to Pisces through retrograde and then return to Aries from December 21, 2022 to May 16, 2023.
We are then dealing with a completely different world.
A new society with new structures and forms of cooperation in the technological and economic field.
The age of Aquarius has only really begun then. The new time.
From mid-May 2022, anyone with their natal Sun or ascendant in Air or Fire can expect a new dynamic boost to finally start a project that is close to their heart, thanks to Jupiter in Aries.
On Friday, May 13, 2022, the Sun in Taurus will form a meaningful conjunction with the North Node in Taurus. With this magical connection in the true essence of Taurus, desires can be manifested on that day.
There will be a Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on May 16, 2022.
The second eclipse of 2022 is a powerful event of intense emotions that allows you to get under the skin of something you think has more depth.
Ask questions, research, do some digging, look behind the facade and arrive at the truth you seek.
The Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on May 16, 2022 squares Saturn and asteroid Vesta in Aquarius, but is also sextile Pluto in Capricorn. This karmic aspect pattern is about taking responsibility for ourselves, but also for others when they are not willing or able to.
This Total Lunar Eclipse in the financial sign of Scorpio is paving the way for major shifts worldwide around the themes of money, wealth, economy, banking, stock markets and real estate, as well as karmic themes related to sexually transgressive behavior and abuse of power.

The year 2022 is a wave motion of relative calm and apparent stability
to turbulent developments such as the war in Ukraine, extreme weather events, high inflation, rising food prices, scarcity, financial collapse and ecological losses.
May 2022 will conclude on May 30, 2022 with the New Moon on 9º03 in airy Gemini.
This New Moon in Gemini may offer a way out, as it forms a collaborating sextile with Mars and Jupiter in Aries, offering opportunities to move in a new direction and listen more to each other’s points of view. Not talking about or past each other, but with each other.
In summary, May 2022 is a troubled month of dualistic energies.
Live in the moment, do not plan too much ahead, release all negative energies of anger, frustration and powerlessness, be flexible and fight for your own highest manifestation.
When you get stuck in anger and negative thoughts, fear grabs you by the throat.
Fear has a low vibration and blocks the flow of life.
Don’t give your power away. Stay positive, but realistic.
Not everything will be achievable.
Hope you all have a peaceful May!
