New Moon in Taurus, 6 May: your 2nd house
Thursday 6 May brings the New Moon at 15°42′ Taurus, exact at 10:59 UTC, and for Aries it falls in the 2nd house, the house of money, possessions and values.
A New Moon is read as an opening rather than an event, so the May lunation is less a happening than an invitation in your 2nd house, the Gate of Hades: an intention about what you are worth and what you will no longer give away cheaply. Set in your 2nd house, the May lunation takes its tone from its sign: Taurus makes the mood patient and sensual, settling rather than starting.
One way for Aries to meet it in May: notice when you talk yourself down about money, and stop mid-sentence.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Aries 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.
See the year on your own RoadFull Moon in Scorpio, 20 May: your 8th house
The Full Moon is exact at 10:59 UTC on Thursday 20 May, with the Moon at 29°13′ Scorpio and the Sun opposite in Taurus. For Aries the Moon lights your 8th house, the house of shared money, intimacy and deep change, while the Sun stands across in your 2nd.
The tradition reads a Full Moon as a culmination, and the May Full Moon brings it to your 8th house, the Idle Place in the old books, where it shows an insurance, tax or inheritance matter that wants attention now rather than later. For Aries this May, Scorpio lends it loyalty, depth and a long memory. With the Sun across the chart in your 2nd house, the May Full Moon speaks along the axis of what is yours and what is shared: earnings and debts, possessions and trust.
One way for Aries to meet it in May: have the conversation about shared money that you both keep avoiding.
Planets changing sign or direction in May
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, your 11th 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 Aries’s hopes for the future, and patrons and allies through May.
Mercury crosses into Gemini on 9 May and so into your 3rd house. Until 28 May, with Mercury in your house of siblings and short journeys, the tradition reads a busy, connected spell, good for study and for writing.
Mars enters Virgo on 14 May, your 6th house. Until 15 July, with the lesser malefic in the place it rejoices, the old books would set it to work: exercise, problem-solving and tasks that need force.
On 14 May Venus moves into Taurus, which is your 2nd house. Until 8 June, Venus in your 2nd house puts love and money in the same room: a spell for enjoying what you have and for spending with taste rather than impulse.
On 21 May at 06:18 UTC the Sun crosses into Gemini, which for Aries is the 3rd house. Until 21 June, the Sun in your 3rd house makes a month for conversations, errands, siblings and short journeys.
On 28 May Mercury moves into Cancer, which is your 4th house. Until 26 June, with Mercury at the root of your chart, the tradition reads a spell for talking things through at home and for planning a move or a repair.
Love, work and money for Aries in May
Venus begins May in Aries, your 1st house, and enters Taurus, your 2nd, on 14 May, turning affection toward what you give and receive in love, and whether affection is being bought or freely offered.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Leo, your 5th, into Virgo (your 6th) on 14 May, so the drive of the month shifts toward the daily job, colleagues, workload and routine, most directly of all the houses.
For money, the New Moon on 6 May falls in your 2nd, Venus arrives in your 2nd on 14 May and the Full Moon on 20 May falls in your 8th: the house of what you earn and own. For Aries that points May’s attention to income, savings, spending and possessions, most directly of all the houses; it is a timing, not a forecast of gain or loss.
Questions to carry through May
- Am I being paid in a way that matches what I give?
- What must be surrendered so trust can deepen?
- What am I learning, and what am I only consuming?
