Your May horoscope for 2023 is filled with a few twists, with both Mercury and Pluto in retrograde and eclipse season. Find the May horoscope for your Zodiac sign.
Mercury Retrograde
We begin this month with planet Mercury still in its apparent retrograde motion. Mercury, of course, never travels backwards but it is the difference in its orbit (88 days) and the travels of the Earth (365 & ¼ days) that causes it to appear to go backwards about three times a year. In my opinion, this affects the synapses in our brains. Our ordinary way of thinking is replaced by something more intuitive and illogical. This can be wonderful to see everyday events in a different light, but our normal checks and balances are usually out to lunch. For this reason, it is best to wait to make important decisions until after the 14th. See 2023 Mercury Retrograde dates.
Full Moon Eclipse
We also have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 1:34 PM EDT on the 5th. This will be visible from Africa, Western Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. This will be followed by the New Moon at 11:53 AM EDT on the 19th.
Jupiter Enters Taurus
Planet Jupiter will enter Taurus at 1:20 PM EDT on the 16th bringing all of its good luck to the Earth-loving inhabitants of that sign through the end of the year.
Pluto Begins Retrograding
Planet Pluto begins its apparent retrograde motion at 1:06 PM EDT on the 1st. Look for some volatility in the news the first week of this month as Pluto will seem “locked in step” with our own planet. I know that astronomers have downgraded Pluto because of its size. However, having been discovered around the same time as the first atom bomb (which was exploded with plutonium), reliance on size can be deceiving.
