New Moon in Taurus, 6 May: your 10th house
The New Moon is exact at 10:59 UTC on Thursday 6 May, at 15°42′ Taurus. Counted by whole signs from Leo, Taurus is your 10th house, the house of career and reputation.
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 10th house, the Midheaven: a fresh start with an authority, a boss or your own sense of responsibility. Set in your 10th house, the May lunation takes its tone from its sign: Taurus makes the mood patient and sensual, settling rather than starting.
One way for Leo to meet it in May: update the record of your work: a portfolio, a profile, a list of what you have done.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Leo 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.

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 Leo the Moon lights your 4th house, the house of home, family and roots, while the Sun stands across in your 10th.
At a Full Moon the Moon faces the Sun across the sky, and this May it faces it from your 4th house, the Subterranean, lighting a family matter that has been simmering and now wants an answer. In your 4th house this May, Scorpio, fixed water ruled by Mars in the old books, gives it an intense and private manner. With the Sun across the chart in your 10th house, the May Full Moon speaks along the axis of home and career: the private root and the public branch of a life.
If you want something to do with this May lunation, write down what home means to you now, not what it meant when you were young.
Planets changing sign or direction in May
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, your 7th 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 Leo’s contracts and agreements, and business partners through May.
Mercury crosses into Gemini on 9 May and so into your 11th house. Until 28 May, with Mercury in the house of the Good Spirit, the tradition reads a sociable spell, good for collaborations and for asking allies for advice.
Mars enters Virgo on 14 May, your 2nd house. Until 15 July, with Mars in your house of possessions, the tradition reads a spell for earning by effort and for guarding against rash purchases.
On 14 May Venus moves into Taurus, which is your 10th house. Until 8 June, Venus in your 10th house lends charm to your public life: a spell when goodwill at work and a gracious reputation come more easily.
On 21 May at 06:18 UTC the Sun crosses into Gemini, which for Leo is the 11th house. Until 21 June, the Sun in your 11th house makes a month for friends, groups and hopes for the future.
On 28 May Mercury moves into Cancer, which is your 12th house. Until 26 June, with Mercury in the house of hidden things, the tradition reads a quieter spell, better for reflection than for announcements.
Love, work and money for Leo in May
Venus begins May in Aries, your 9th house, and enters Taurus, your 10th, on 14 May, turning affection toward how a relationship fits beside a career, and the public face of a partnership.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Leo, your 1st, into Virgo (your 2nd) on 14 May, so the drive of the month shifts toward your earnings and the price you put on your work. The New Moon on 6 May lands in your 10th, a house the tradition gives to career.
For money, Mars arrives in your 2nd on 14 May: the house of what you earn and own. The tradition would make May a time to review income, savings, spending and possessions, most directly of all the houses in Virgo’s house, and leave the outcome to your own choices.
