New Moon in Taurus, 6 May: your 9th house
On Thursday 6 May the Moon and the Sun meet at 15°42′ Taurus, at 10:59 UTC; for Virgo that degree lies in the 9th house, the house of faith, travel and higher learning.
At a New Moon the Sun and the Moon stand together, and the old almanacs marked the turn of the month for planting; this May the planting is in your 9th house, the God, where the tradition looks for a beginning that widens the map, through travel, a teacher or a book. For Virgo this May, Taurus makes the mood patient and sensual, settling rather than starting.
If you want something to do with this May lunation, plan a journey, even a small one, to somewhere you have never been.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Virgo 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 Virgo the Moon lights your 3rd house, the house of words, siblings and short journeys, while the Sun stands across in your 9th.
A Full Moon is read as an illumination, and the May Full Moon shines into your 3rd house, the Goddess, where it shows what has been said and what has been left unsaid, especially with a sibling, a neighbor or a colleague. Set in your 3rd house, the May lunation takes its tone from its sign: Scorpio, fixed water ruled by Mars in the old books, gives it an intense and private manner. Read as an axis, from your 3rd house to your 9th, this May Full Moon runs along the axis of the near and the far: daily words and larger beliefs, errands and pilgrimages.
One way for Virgo to meet it in May: turn off one stream of noise for a week and see what you hear instead.
Planets changing sign or direction in May
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, your 6th 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 Virgo’s health routines and service through May.
On 9 May Mercury moves into Gemini, which is your 10th house. Until 28 May, Mercury in your 10th house makes your words public: presentations, applications and conversations with the people above you.
On 14 May Mars moves into Virgo, which is your 1st house. Until 15 July, Mars in your 1st house turns up the heat in you: more energy, more impatience and a strong urge to act first and explain later.
Venus crosses into Taurus on 14 May and so into your 9th house. Until 8 June, with Venus in the house of the God, the tradition reads a spell for pilgrimages of the pleasant kind and for love that widens your world.
The Sun enters Gemini, your 10th house, on 21 May at 06:18 UTC. Until 21 June, with the Sun at the top of your chart, the season favors visible work, ambitions stated and responsibilities taken up.
Mercury crosses into Cancer on 28 May and so into your 11th house. Until 26 June, Mercury in your 11th house fills the inbox with friends and groups: plans for the future, networks and shared ideas.
Love, work and money for Virgo in May
Venus begins May in Aries, your 8th house, and enters Taurus, your 9th, on 14 May, turning affection toward love across distance or difference, and the shared beliefs that hold a couple together.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Leo, your 12th, into Virgo (your 1st) on 14 May, so the drive of the month shifts toward your personal initiative and the reputation you carry into any room.
For money, no lunation or fast planet changes in your 2nd house (Libra) or your 8th (Aries) in May, so the tradition would put the month’s weight elsewhere and leave Virgo’s budgets to ordinary prudence.
Questions to carry through May
- What do I believe that I have never questioned?
- Where do my words run ahead of my thinking?
- Do I want the role I am working toward, or only the title?
