First the reality check. Then the big emotions.

After the last few months, which astrologically felt more like a permanent reality check, May and June finally bring more movement, though not necessarily in a calm way. May starts slower and more reflectively: Pluto remains retrograde in Aquarius all month, collectively forcing us to look more closely. Which changes do we truly mean? Where do we talk ourselves into progress without actually changing anything? Retrograde Pluto doesn't bring superficial insights but confronts us with the issues we'd rather rationalize or suppress. Mid-month, the New Moon in Taurus then provides much-needed grounding. After all the mental chaos of recent months, it's suddenly about stability, security, and concrete decisions again. New beginnings should then be planned calmly and realistically, instead of rushing headlong into things. June then brings significantly softer, more emotional energy. Venus and Jupiter meet in Cancer mid-month, amplifying themes like closeness, security, and emotional honesty. Relationships feel more intense, but also more healing. What's exciting, however, is that emotionality and grand feelings become more present for us collectively, and we all become somewhat more sensitive. Towards the end of the month, Mars in Gemini causes a shift in mood: conversations become more direct, impulsive, and sometimes chaotic. Thoughts race, decisions are made faster, and stagnation finally becomes impossible.

Aries Ascendant

The coming weeks will strongly revolve around your values and your environment. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius activates your eleventh house, bringing old dynamics in friendships or future plans back to the surface. In May, you may notice very clearly which people are part of your life but no longer suit your development. And stagnant plans and buried ideas for the future also need to be actively brought out and re-examined now. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in turn, brings peace to your second house and helps you rebuild financial and emotional stability. In June, it becomes more personal: the Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer illuminates your fourth house and intensifies your need for emotional security and closeness. Conversations with family or close confidants can then be surprisingly healing, but it's also important to keep in mind how intensely emotional you might react. Towards the end of the month, Mars in Gemini then brings movement into your third house. Ideally, you finally say what has been bothering you for a long time – though perhaps more directly than originally planned.

Taurus Ascendant

In May, you become aware of how much professional issues or external expectations are currently weighing on you. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius transits your tenth house and forces you to question your goals more honestly. Are you really working towards what you want or rather what is expected of you? The New Moon in your first house mid-May, in contrast, feels almost like a small restart. You get the chance to consciously realign yourself and make decisions more according to your own needs. In June, it becomes more communicative: Venus and Jupiter in Cancer bring warmth and honesty into your third house. Conversations come easier, and you notice how good it feels to address things openly. Spontaneous melancholy and emotional outbursts in such conversations should then be allowed their space. Mars in Gemini, towards the end of the month, activates your second house again and brings movement into financial matters. However, you should then rather avoid spontaneous purchases or hasty decisions.

Gemini Ascendant

For you, May and June feel like a mental fresh start. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius activates your ninth house and shakes up old beliefs or moral standards. Where have you gotten stuck in opinions and thought patterns, thereby losing your openness? You should put this to an honest test during this period. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in contrast, deliberately calls for retreat. Your twelfth house is transited by this, and you need more rest than you might want to admit. Take the time to find out how you can bring more stability and security into your inner life and your thought spirals. In June, however, the energy shifts significantly: Venus and Jupiter in Cancer strengthen your second house and bring more security in self-worth or financial matters. Emotional validation, in particular, has a particularly strengthening effect now, but the tendency towards emotional spending also becomes dangerously high. With Mars in your first house towards the end of June, it remains turbulent. You suddenly have significantly less patience, but all the more drive. Decisions you have long postponed could now be made very spontaneously.

Cancer Ascendant

Ready for the big emotions? In May, it will be emotionally intense for you. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius brings momentum to your eighth house and brings themes such as trust, emotional dependencies, or old wounds back into consciousness. You will hardly be able to avoid looking at certain dynamics and supposedly past fears more honestly now. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in turn, brings stability to your eleventh house. Friendships or future plans suddenly feel more tangible, and you notice which people truly give you security. In June, you yourself will finally be the focus: Venus and Jupiter meet in your first house and massively strengthen your charisma. You appear more open, emotional, and at the same time more self-confident, and you can and should now use this specifically for your goals. Relationships benefit from this, as does your self-esteem. With Mars in Gemini at the end of the month, however, you should make sure to consciously allow yourself some rest, because this energy can sometimes lead to inner restlessness and easily suppressed stress.

Leo Ascendant

The next two months will primarily put your relationships to the test – both private and professional. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius transits your seventh house and brings old conflicts or unspoken issues in partnerships back to the surface. Especially when it comes to shared development and equal values with your loved ones, it becomes particularly exciting now. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in turn, brings stability to your tenth house and helps you structure professional goals more realistically. If you desire a career reorientation, now would be the time to finally make concrete plans. In June, emotionally, it becomes significantly softer in contrast: Venus and Jupiter in Cancer activate your twelfth house and intensify your need for retreat and emotional healing. You need more time for yourself and should consciously plan it. Mars in Gemini in the eleventh house finally brings more movement into your environment at the end of the month. New contacts or spontaneous plans bring fresh air, and ideally, they also pull you out of your emotional comfort zone.

Virgo Ascendant

In May, your daily life demands a particularly honest assessment. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius is in your sixth house and shows you very clearly which routines, work methods, or habits are more likely to exhaust you in the long run than stabilize you. Especially your relationship with responsibility and perfectionism should now be examined more closely. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in turn, brings fresh perspectives into your ninth house. Travel, further education, or new ideas are particularly good for you now and help you not to get lost in your own tunnel vision. In June, it becomes significantly more social: Venus and Jupiter in Cancer are together in your eleventh house and bring warmth and emotional closeness into friendships or your social environment in general. Especially conversations with people who truly understand you now feel particularly strengthening and inspiring at the same time. Mars in Gemini at the end of the month, in contrast, causes things to become more hectic professionally. Then make sure not to get drawn into too many commitments at once or to put pressure on yourself to immediately meet everything.

Libra Ascendant

Stagnation is pretty much out of the question for you in the coming weeks, because in May and June, it's all about spontaneous impulses and long-term transformations. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius is now in your fifth house and brings old insecurities around dating, creativity, or your self-worth back into consciousness. You may now notice more clearly how often you seek external validation, even though you actually know what you can and deserve. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in turn, brings stability to your eighth house and helps you assess emotional or financial connections more realistically. Especially with topics around trust and dependencies, it's worth taking a closer look now and realistically assessing whether you find unhealthy patterns from your past in present relationships. In June, your professional life comes more into focus: Venus and Jupiter in Cancer activate your tenth house and massively strengthen your external charisma. You appear charismatic, empathetic, and at the same time convincing, which can benefit you especially in a professional context. With Mars in Gemini at the end of the month, however, your need for change also grows. New plans or spontaneous ideas could sweep you away faster than originally thought, so try to keep a cool head despite all the euphoria.

Scorpio Ascendant

In May, your focus will be strongly directed towards your home and your inner foundation. Your fourth house will be thoroughly stirred up by retrograde Pluto in Aquarius, as this constellation brings old family themes and emotional patterns back to the surface. Especially things that you have long suppressed or rationalized can no longer be ignored so easily. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May brings supporting calm to your seventh house and helps you to shape relationships more consciously and stably. Especially honest conversations with close confidants can now have a surprisingly clarifying effect, as long as all parties discuss their wishes and issues realistically and honestly. June, on the other hand, invites you to look beyond your own horizons again, as Venus and Jupiter transit your ninth house together. Especially with emotionally charged topics, you will then be invited to reconsider your convictions and wishes for your own development. With Mars in Gemini at the end of the month, it finally becomes even more emotionally intense. Fears and old wounds, especially regarding trust and letting go in your relationships, now become present again and sometimes lead to explosive conversations – but try not to immediately fall back into old defense mechanisms.

Sagittarius Ascendant

The coming weeks will be quite mentally intense for you. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius activates your third house and brings old conversations, thoughts, or communication patterns back into consciousness. Perhaps you only now realize how much certain situations or statements still affect you and where you have played down certain topics for too long, just to avoid an unnecessary conflict. Especially with misunderstandings or emotionally charged conversations, it's worth being more honest with yourself and your environment now. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in turn, helps you to restructure your daily life and consciously build more stable routines. Especially small changes and more structure in everyday life can now have a much greater long-term effect than you initially believe. In June, relationships and emotional closeness will be the focus: Venus and Jupiter in Cancer transit your eighth house together and bring significantly more depth into partnerships or close connections. Conversations become more honest, more emotional, and sometimes surprisingly intimate. With Mars in Gemini at the end of the month, however, it becomes more impulsive. Especially spontaneous discussions or misunderstandings could escalate faster than planned, which is why it's worth not always having to react immediately to every emotion.

Capricorn Ascendant

In May, for you, it's strongly about self-worth and security. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius is in your second house and brings old insecurities around money, achievement, or control back to the surface. Especially the question of what you base your self-worth on becomes particularly important now. Where do you define yourself too much by productivity or by having to control everything? The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in turn, brings more lightness into your fifth house. Dating, creativity, or simply moments of genuine joy help you to reconnect emotionally with yourself and not constantly have your head only on responsibility and future planning. In June, relationships become more important: Venus and Jupiter in Cancer activate your seventh house together and bring warmth, honesty, and emotional closeness into partnerships. Especially conversations about common future plans or emotional needs can now have a particularly connecting effect. At the same time, however, you should make sure not to let every small disagreement immediately turn into a fundamental emotional discussion. Mars in Gemini at the end of the month will also be important for your sixth house, as this will make your daily life significantly more hectic. Try consciously to schedule breaks instead of trying to do or control everything at once.

Aquarius Ascendant

Just wait and see what happens? Absolutely not an option for you in the next two months. Retrograde Pluto in your first house makes May more intense for you than it might seem externally. Old versions of yourself, outdated behavior patterns, or suppressed insecurities are now particularly evident. At the same time, this phase also gives you the chance to consciously decide who you actually want to be and which aspects of you no longer fit your current life. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in turn, brings calm to your fourth house. Home, family, or emotional security become more important and help you to stabilize yourself internally a bit more. Conscious time with your closest confidants, in particular, can give you surprisingly much strength now. In June, it becomes lighter: your daily life is automatically filled with more harmony and small joys thanks to the combination of Venus and Jupiter in your sixth house. Routines come easier, and you notice how good small, conscious changes can be for you. At the same time, the potent Jupiter energy then also ensures that you feel particularly clearly which daily routines are emotionally burdensome or too often neglected. With Mars in Gemini at the end of the month, your need for spontaneity and adventure finally grows. Especially dating, creative projects, or new contacts could suddenly become significantly more exciting than originally expected. Allow yourself then to dive into things completely unplanned and irrationally, you will thank yourself for it.

Pisces Ascendant

For you, May and June will be particularly emotionally revealing. Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius illuminates your twelfth house and brings suppressed thoughts or old emotional themes back to the surface with great momentum. It's less about finding immediate solutions now, but rather about looking honestly and no longer suppressing certain feelings. Especially topics that you usually prefer to deal with on your own will now be harder to ignore. The New Moon in Taurus mid-May, in turn, helps you to sort out thoughts and communicate more clearly, as it falls into your third house of communication. You should then consciously put stubbornness and the desire to deal with everything on your own aside and remember how much your loved ones are there for you if you only let them. June brings more lighthearted topics into your life again: Venus and Jupiter in Cancer are together in your fifth house and bring warmth, romance, and creativity. You appear more open, emotional, and at the same time significantly more self-confident, which your surroundings also notice. You should then be careful again at the end of June, when Mars in Gemini falls into your fourth house and makes family dynamics and conversations quickly charged and explosive. Then make sure not to get completely carried away by the mood of others and consciously create places of retreat for yourself in between.
