New Moon in Taurus, 6 May: your 6th house
Thursday 6 May brings the New Moon at 15°42′ Taurus, exact at 10:59 UTC, and for Sagittarius it falls in the 6th house, the house of daily work, habits and health routines.
Astrology reads the New Moon as the time to start small and mean it, and in May the small start belongs to your 6th house, Bad Fortune: an intention about daily work and how much of yourself it should take. In your 6th house this May, Taurus makes the mood patient and sensual, settling rather than starting.
If you want something to do with this May lunation, give your sleep the same respect you give your deadlines.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Sagittarius 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.

On Thursday 20 May the Moon comes full at 29°13′ Scorpio, at 10:59 UTC, facing the Sun in Taurus; for Sagittarius it fills the 12th house, the house of rest, solitude and the hidden life, from across the 6th.
In the old reckoning the Full Moon was the month’s midpoint, a time to gather in, and in May the gathering happens in your 12th house, the Bad Spirit: the end of a long chapter, felt before it is understood. For Sagittarius this May, Scorpio lends it loyalty, depth and a long memory. With the Sun across the chart in your 6th house, the May Full Moon speaks along the axis of work and rest: the duties of the day and the retreat that restores you.
A practice for the May Full Moon: spend ten honest minutes without performance, noise or explanation.
Planets changing sign or direction in May
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, your 3rd 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 Sagittarius’s siblings and neighbors, and short journeys through May.
Mercury enters Gemini on 9 May, your 7th house. Until 28 May, with Mercury opposite your own sign, the tradition reads a spell for talking things through with a partner, a client or a rival.
Mars enters Virgo on 14 May, your 10th house. Until 15 July, with the lesser malefic at your Midheaven, the old books would counsel effort without arrogance, since the whole room can see you.
On 14 May Venus moves into Taurus, which is your 6th house. Until 8 June, Venus in your 6th house softens the working day: kinder colleagues, a pleasanter routine and care for the body taken as a pleasure rather than a chore.
On 21 May at 06:18 UTC the Sun crosses into Gemini, which for Sagittarius is the 7th house. Until 21 June, the Sun on the Setting, your 7th house, makes a month in which partners, clients and rivals take the stage.
On 28 May Mercury moves into Cancer, which is your 8th house. Until 26 June, with Mercury in the house of other people’s goods, the tradition reads a spell for paperwork about shared money and for honest questions.
Love, work and money for Sagittarius in May
Venus begins May in Aries, your 5th house, and enters Taurus, your 6th, on 14 May, turning affection toward the everyday care two people give each other, and the chores that can sour a home.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Leo, your 9th, into Virgo (your 10th) on 14 May, so the drive of the month shifts toward career direction, promotion, reputation and the people above you, most directly of all the houses. The New Moon on 6 May lands in your 6th, a house the tradition gives to work and health.
For money, Mercury arrives in your 8th on 28 May: the house of what is shared and owed. The tradition would make May a time to review debts, loans, taxes, insurance and inheritance, other people’s money in your life in Cancer’s house, and leave the outcome to your own choices.
