New Moon in Taurus, 6 May: your 4th house
The New Moon is exact at 10:59 UTC on Thursday 6 May, at 15°42′ Taurus. Counted by whole signs from Aquarius, Taurus is your 4th house, the house of home, family and roots.
In the old reckoning the New Moon was the threshold every month was counted from, and the May threshold stands in your 4th house, the Subterranean, read as a seed planted in private, the kind that grows before anyone outside the house can see it. For Aquarius this May, Taurus, fixed earth ruled by Venus, gives it a slow and steady manner, interested in what lasts.
One way for Aquarius to meet it in May: write down what home means to you now, not what it meant when you were young.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Aquarius forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.

Thursday 20 May brings the Full Moon at 29°13′ Scorpio, exact at 10:59 UTC, opposite the Sun in Taurus, and for Aquarius it lands in the 10th house, the house of career and reputation.
Astrologers treat the Full Moon as the month’s high tide; in May the tide rises in your 10th house, the place the tradition calls the Midheaven, and it shows where your career stands, and whether the climb still leads where you meant it to. Set in your 10th house, the May lunation takes its tone from its sign: Scorpio lends it loyalty, depth and a long memory. Read as an axis, from your 10th house to your 4th, this May Full Moon runs along the axis of home and career: the private root and the public branch of a life.
One way for Aquarius to meet it in May: write down what you want to be known for in five years, in one line.
Planets changing sign or direction in May
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, your 1st house, a slow turn spread over several days. The turn comes around 8 May, at 7°10′ Aquarius, and since a slow planet’s turn is felt over weeks rather than on a day, the tradition would look for it in Aquarius’s first impressions and the way you begin things through May.
Mercury crosses into Gemini on 9 May and so into your 5th house. Until 28 May, Mercury in your 5th house makes play of the mind: flirtation, games, creative writing and talk with children.
Mars enters Virgo on 14 May, your 8th house. Until 15 July, Mars in your 8th house drives the deep end: intense desire, hard talks about shared money and the courage to face a fear.
Venus crosses into Taurus on 14 May and so into your 4th house. Until 8 June, with Venus at the root of your chart, the tradition reads a warm spell for domestic pleasure, hospitality and peace at home.
The Sun enters Gemini, your 5th house, on 21 May at 06:18 UTC. Until 21 June, with the Sun in your house of joy, the tradition reads a month to take your own pleasure seriously and to make something.
On 28 May Mercury moves into Cancer, which is your 6th house. Until 26 June, Mercury in your 6th house puts the mind to work: lists, schedules, problem-solving and the details of the job.
Love, work and money for Aquarius in May
Venus begins May in Aries, your 3rd house, and enters Taurus, your 4th, on 14 May, turning affection toward living together, family plans and the private life a couple shares.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Leo, your 7th, into Virgo (your 8th) on 14 May, so the drive of the month shifts toward investors, commissions, and the money other people place in your hands. The Full Moon on 20 May lands in your 10th, a house the tradition gives to career.
For money, Mars arrives in your 8th on 14 May: the house of what is shared and owed. Read May as a time for looking at debts, loans, taxes, insurance and inheritance, other people’s money in your life, without expecting the sky to settle the sums for you.
Questions to carry through May
- Who is family to me now?
