Rebecca Szymczak, aka Cardsy B, author of The Saturn Diaries and tarot reader to the stars, consulted her tarot deck and has tips for which signs should take advantage of the final days of having all our planets moving direct early in the month to finalize contracts and which should wait until after the Mercury Cazimi on the May 29 to announce new plans. She also has advice on the best time to revise strategies that need a little revamp and more.
The month of May comes in full force as we still have all of our planets moving direct (aka working for us) until the fourth. This month also provides the ability to release and transform anything that hasn’t been moving with consistent momentum as we head into the full moon in Scorpio on May 12. Projects and budgets that required additional attention in April are ready to be upgraded, and the information and realizations on how to do that are finally here. Look out for meaningful shifts and necessary redirection of Q2 and Q3 goals after the Uranus Cazimi in Taurus on May 17 when a bolt of inspiration comes and asks us to make essential changes to previous plans to increase and expedite progress and abundance.
The end of the month ushers in new milestones with clients and collaborators after May 26’s New Moon in Gemini. And the month wraps with a Mercury Cazimi on May 29—an ideal time to share news of upcoming plans and projects with your team. Additionally, any B2B announcements, press releases, and launches scheduled for near May 29 will be met with even more praise and recognition than expected.
May is a month of redirection, innovation, and momentum. The first week is best for finalizing any pending decisions from April, while the week of May 12 allows for necessary pivots and innovative revisions of projects in motion. Any public-facing and B2B announcements will be the most successful if they can be shared as close to the end of the month as possible. Read on to discover what the cards have in store for your sign.
Aries/Aries Rising (March 21 to April 19)
Card: Queen of Wands
The first half of Aries season was a bit of a slow takeoff with eclipses and multiple retrogrades. The beginning of the month is your time to shine as your signature element of fire feels reignited with inspiration and new ideas bubbling as soon as we enter May.
Highlight: Embrace the Spark
Though we technically entered spring at the end of March with Aries season, it feels like that wakeup from hibernation is hitting you now. Use the boost of energy to schedule calls and meetings the first week of the month while we still have all of our planets moving directly.
Heads Up: Mid-Month Slow Down
The Uranus in Taurus Cazimi on May 17 may require you to recalculate your route on previously laid plans. Don’t let this brief slowdown cause you to question the progress you’ve made this month.
Mantra: LFG
– Rob Simonsen
Taurus/Taurus Rising (April 20 to May 20)
Card: Seven of Cups
Happy Birthday, Taurus. The Seven of Cups rushes in, matching the month of May’s momentum. Try to embrace all the options on the table rather than going into overanalysis paralysis.
Highlight: Unexpected Abundance
In what seems like a drought-to-downpour scenario, multiple initiatives you’ve been working toward seem to move early in May. Trust your intuition to guide you, as one opportunity is a source of unexpected abundance. However, you’ll need to make fast decisions in order to claim your prize.
Heads Up: Don’t Give in to Overwhelm
Tauruses are known for their steady and methodical leadership. But don’t let critical overthinking lead you to overwhelm. Focus on the next best step, especially following the full moon in Scorpio on May 12, when you’re needed on multiple major projects and decisions.
Mantra: Take a Deep Breath
– Loadstar
Gemini/Gemini Rising (May 21 to June 20)
Card: Temperance
Geminis have no problem analyzing and looking at things from multiple perspectives, so when Temperance asks you to reroute a previously laid plan the second half of the month, you’re more than up for the challenge.
Highlight: Mid-Month Recalibration Brings Big Wins
Your willingness to completely redefine a project and put in the extra time to perfect the changes will bring you a big win by the end of May. By the Cazimi in Mercury (your ruling planet) on May 17, what seemed like an impossible victory becomes a highly probable success story.
Heads Up: Find Time for You
Make sure not to burn yourself out this month. Yes, you have a window of opportunity to uplevel a big project, but it’s also essential to take downtime and playtime—especially as we head into your season at the end of the month.
Mantra: All Work and No Play
– Van Morrison
Cancer/Cancer Rising (June 21 to July 22)
Card: The Chariot
The Chariot is ruled by Cancer and is the vehicle for change that you’ve been craving. Didn’t feel like getting a head start on summer initiatives in April? The full moon in fellow water sign Scorpio on May 12 will give you a much-needed boost to energize you to move full steam ahead with exciting summer projects.
Highlight: Amped Up and Ready to Go
If you’ve been muscling through much of 2025, don’t worry. May comes in with a cosmic shot of adrenaline, inspiring you to dive into projects you put aside earlier in the year. The strategy for organizing and launching summer initiatives seems much more straightforward, with additional hands on deck eager to help you this month.
Heads Up: Create a Delegation Plan
It’s important to take a snapshot of the bigger picture to avoid getting overwhelmed. Once you’ve assessed what’s needed, delegation is key, even if this means assigning pieces to your future self so you don’t get pulled into the weeds with those details before you need to.
Mantra: Plan of Attack
– Curren$y
Leo/Leo Rising (July 23 to August 22)
Card: Six of Cups
The Six of Cups reminds you that connection is just as important as productivity this month. This seems especially poignant after May 17, when a project needs a bit of tweaking regarding how it’s perceived by clients and/or the public.
Highlight: The Connectivity You’ve Been Craving
Due to recent shifts in your department or team, more collaboration and connection will be available daily from mid-May onward. This teamwork adds an increased sense of fulfillment to your work this month, as even the most introverted Leos tend to crave a crew to co-create and share ideas with—lions travel in a pack or “pride,” after all.
Heads Up: Watch Out for Old Autopilot Behaviors
You likely got to where you are from a lot of solo dedication and autonomous hard work. Your past wins don’t mean you must always earn success solo. Lean into this month’s support and fight the urge to go it alone.
Mantra: Better Together
– Luke Combs
Virgo/Virgo Rising (August 23 to September 22)
Card: King of Swords
The King of Swords is the ultimate truth bomb king, and you’ve likely known that you need to share information and/or decisions you’ve uncovered with your team for a little while now.
Highlight: Fast Decisions are Rewarded
Due to the support of having all our planets direct through the first week of May, fast and confident declarations are rewarded this month. If you reached specific outcomes in April but felt it wasn’t quite the right time to declare or announce them, the first half of May supports you in finalizing and sharing your decisions.
Heads Up: Lean Into the Change
You may have to walk away from something that requires a challenging conversation. Trust that this choice is freeing you and clearing a path toward greater success and more allies reaching you by mid-summer.
Mantra: Just Do It
– Jufu
Libra/Libra Rising (September 23 to October 22)
Card: Two of Pentacles
March and April pulled many of us into scarcity mindsets, but Two of Pentacles is here to announce that May is bringing back the financial balance you’ve been craving.
Highlight: Back in the Flow
You may have already started feeling more inspired by the end of April, when your ruling planet, Venus, finally moved direct. May continues to bring in additional sources of abundance in the form of new clients and lucrative projects.
Heads Up: Watch Your Inner Critic
Despite the momentum of early May, you might be tempted to keep looking backward at the financial squeezes and delays of the past few months. Filter out unnecessary critiques of what’s possible, even when they come from your past self.
Mantra: Get Into The Groove
– Madonna
Scorpio/Scorpio Rising (October 23 to November 21)
Card: Wheel of Fortune
Scorpio’s archetype is the scorpion that sheds their exoskeleton multiple times throughout their life. The Wheel of Fortune reminds you to embrace your ability to reinvent yourself this month as big opportunities for change are on the horizon.
Highlight: Career Metamorphosis in the Works
Significant upgrades will be available after the full moon in Scorpio on May 12. Opportunities may arise due to your ability to spot changes or revisions necessary to a project before others. Even if this isn’t a popular opinion to share, you’ll be rewarded for advocating for innovative solutions.
Heads Up: Don’t Fight the Unknown Factors
Many factors are still in motion, and the control freak in you may want access to answers that aren’t available yet. It’s okay if you don’t know every single part of the roadmap ahead—just keep moving forward.
Mantra: Small Moves, Big Change
– Michael Brandmeir
Sagittarius/Sagittarius Rising (November 22 to December 23)
Card: Ten of Pentacles
Sagittarians are known as the seekers and athletes of the zodiac and, as a result, often move at the speed of Olympic sprinters. This month, big financial wins are on the way, but grounded, consistent pacing and patience are required.
Highlight: Financial Wins You Can Circulate
The Ten of Pentacles card reminds us that our financial gains are more enjoyable when sharing them with others. This can mean treating your team to a fun lunch outing as a result of receiving a bonus or having more time to focus on mentoring instead of tedious emails due to stepping into a new role.
Heads Up: Remember, You’re the Archer Not the Arrow
This month brings some curveballs and the need to be flexible after the full moon in Scorpio on May 12. Success is yours if you trust the right time to aim for the bullseye. Just practice patience as you wait for the arrow to land.
Mantra: Line It Up
– Palaye Royale
Capricorn/Capricorn Rising (December 22 to January 19)
Card: Two of Cups
Capricorns are one of the hardest working signs in the zodiac, often seeing closed doors as a suggestion to find another entrance. Because of this, few can keep up with you, but this month brings a valuable ally worth collaborating with.
Highlight: Different Perspectives Increase Your Success
You don’t have to agree with everything new teammates and collaborators say. Still, the ability to listen to and factor in their voice makes your own perspectives more well-rounded and, therefore, more powerful.
Heads Up: You Don’t Have to Do it All Alone
Watch old habits to take on more than your share of projects and team initiatives this month. As power players on your side rise up to help, relinquishing some control can feel scary. Remember, you deserve to receive the support.
Mantra: Opposites Attract
– Paula Abdul
Aquarius/Aquarius Rising (January 20 to February 18)
Card: Hanged Man
You may see the Hanged Man card pull and think, “I’ve been feeling turned upside down and required to surrender for a big part of 2025 already.” If that’s the case, major rewards are coming this month due to your ability to spot out-of-the-box solutions and innovative pathways.
Highlight: New Perspectives Create New Opportunities
Aquarians are very innovative and remain open to change. A Uranus (your ruling planet) Cazimi in Taurus hits on May 17, asking people to be willing to make last-minute changes and revisions, setting you up to shine. Don’t be afraid to share rebellious ideas—this is precisely what’s needed for the second half of the month.
Heads Up: Keeping Promises to Yourself is More Important Than to Anyone Else
Your adaptable energy makes you a productive team player but can, at times, lead to people pleasing. If work dynamics at the beginning of the year led you to commit to speaking up and holding boundaries more, remember to keep these promises to yourself. Not only will you feel better, but you’ll also inspire others to do the same.
Mantra: What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?
– Heather Small
Pisces/Pisces Rising (February 19 to March 20)
Card: Seven of Cups
If April showers bring May flowers, Seven of Cups seems to bring you a feast after a period of “inspiration famine.” Multiple projects placed on backburners are all starting to come to a boil by mid-month.
Highlight: Delayed Gratification is Sometimes the Best Kind
Just when you were ready to completely walk away from several powerful ideas you had from earlier in the year, the Uranus Cazimi comes in on May 17 and shakes up what people in your industry are focusing on in a way that makes several of your passion projects and initiatives more desirable than ever.
Heads Up: Don’t Overthink It, Just Keep Moving Forward
The deep waters of Pisces are incredibly empathic and emotionally powerful but can also lead to overanalyzing the motives of others. Don’t allow your emotional analytical superpowers to cause you to delay sharing your magic this month.
Mantra: Don’t Believe Me Just Watch
– Marc Ronson
