Overview for this Month: Gemini (All)
May 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Gemini: You continue to experience a greater need for rest and relaxation, and perhaps even some solitude, in the first three weeks of May, dear Gemini. Even so, there is likely to be quite a bit of attention coming your way! Clarity in friendships arrives this month. With planets in Gemini at any given point throughout May, you're in a period of personal awakening as you approach your new astrological year. Nevertheless, you still have some end-of-the-astro-year contemplation to do. Try to treat this period as a time for gathering your energies and closing important projects or situations.
You benefit from lovely Venus moving through your sign until the 19th. This position accentuates your finer, more attractive qualities for all to appreciate. Nevertheless, you can be undecided this month, gathering your energies and weighing your options until later May. Your emotions frequently turn your attention to the past and unresolved matters, until the last week of May when you're inspired and motivated to chase your dreams.
Mars moving into harmony with your sign on the 16th is quite magical. It's stirring, too. Shortly after that, the Sun enters your sign, pulling you out of your shell. Even so, in the weeks before these dates, you're receiving some friendly attention.
From the 5-7, people might turn to you for your unique and wise advice or as a creative lead. The unique flair that distinguishes you from the crowd is even more noticeable and enhanced. There could be substantial support coming from behind the scenes or from an unexpected source. The creative side of your projects holds more appeal than usual, and you're particularly good at seeing (or bringing) magic in/to your pursuits. However, confusion about your general direction, career, or situation with a superior can play with your mind and confuse your personal choices. Around the 8th, watch for going overboard in your quest to do too many things well. You are looking to do your best in your work and with your health regimes, but you also have a strong pull towards rest and dealing with private matters or emotional needs. You may be giving or serving a little too much for your own good these days. Look for ways to make adjustments that lead to a healthier, more balanced life.
Use the 11-13 for symbolically throwing out the garbage. You're likely to see areas of focus and lines of thinking that are good for you and which ones are slowing or weighing you down. A Mercury-Uranus alignment aims to move you forward as an idea forms or information comes in that completes a plan or gets you to a conclusion. There can be news or surprises from a friend or in your networks now. An idea for a long-term project can be golden. Collaborating or brainstorming with a friend, group, or classmate can be particularly fruitful. This can also point to a disruption in your networks that pushes you forward.
Again, there is much going on behind the scenes in your life. On the 15-16, a New Moon occurs in your privacy sector at the same time that Uranus enters this sector for a long-term transit, representing a major shift, although it doesn't become consistent until March 2019 and beyond. Your dreaming world is vivid and intuition exceptionally active. Listen to your inner voice! Now and in coming years, this Uranus transit can really shake things up with matters related to the past and your privacy. Things may come to light that help you let go of negative attachments that have been keeping you from growing and thriving. Holding on tightly to your things and ideas may be about your fear of changes taking place in your social life. Watch for impulsiveness now, but do consider ways to move upwards and onwards.
Take advantage of clear, logical thinking around the 17-19 - a breath of fresh air after several emotionally-charged and perhaps impulsive days. A sense of purpose or mission, as well as the drive for results, combine to offer you considerable focus for your mental energies, so choose a project that has long-term potential and go with it. It’s also a good time for small, significant career moves. From the 19th forward, you're in a particularly good stage for money and gifts as well as attention to developing your talents and resources.
There is a nice shift in energy that is more future-oriented and upbeat starting in the last week of May. It may feel as if life is speeding up just enough to pull you out of a rut. You're braver about expressing yourself, and you're ready to take on a challenge. This can be a spunky time, but also a rather magical period for a sense of mission or purpose through work or health pursuits. It's a brilliant period for enjoying or finding work, showcasing your skills, and improving working relationships. There is powerfully creative, generous energy with you for matters related to your career and reputation. Trust that by doing what you love, you'll get where you need to go, however long it may take! The Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 29th pulls your sharp attention to a relationship matter and your feelings that are hard to deny at this time.

Gemini (Born May 22 to 31) and Gemini Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Gemini:May 2018 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Overview. The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness Until May 21st: The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now. Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now. From May 21st forward: The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life. Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort Until the 19th: Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now. From May 19th forward: Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle. Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation Until the 13th: Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas. Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle. From May 13-30: Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order. From May 30th forward: With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now. Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage Until May 16th: Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others. From May 16th forward: Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

Gemini (Born June 1 to 11) and Gemini Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Gemini:May 2018 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Overview. The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness All month: The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house. Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort Until the 3rd: Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle. From May 3-28: You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment. From May 28th forward: Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures.

Gemini (Born June 12 to 21)
|
May 2018 |
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 10th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From May 10th forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year.

Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.

It's a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
From the 6-25:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.
Overview Horoscope:
May 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Gemini: You continue to experience a greater need for rest and relaxation, and perhaps even some solitude, in the first three weeks of May, dear Gemini. Even so, there is likely to be quite a bit of attention coming your way! Clarity in friendships arrives this month. With planets in Gemini at any given point throughout May, you're in a period of personal awakening as you approach your new astrological year. Nevertheless, you still have some end-of-the-astro-year contemplation to do. Try to treat this period as a time for gathering your energies and closing important projects or situations.
You benefit from lovely Venus moving through your sign until the 19th. This position accentuates your finer, more attractive qualities for all to appreciate. Nevertheless, you can be undecided this month, gathering your energies and weighing your options until later May. Your emotions frequently turn your attention to the past and unresolved matters, until the last week of May when you're inspired and motivated to chase your dreams.
Mars moving into harmony with your sign on the 16th is quite magical. It's stirring, too. Shortly after that, the Sun enters your sign, pulling you out of your shell. Even so, in the weeks before these dates, you're receiving some friendly attention.
From the 5-7, people might turn to you for your unique and wise advice or as a creative lead. The unique flair that distinguishes you from the crowd is even more noticeable and enhanced. There could be substantial support coming from behind the scenes or from an unexpected source. The creative side of your projects holds more appeal than usual, and you're particularly good at seeing (or bringing) magic in/to your pursuits. However, confusion about your general direction, career, or situation with a superior can play with your mind and confuse your personal choices. Around the 8th, watch for going overboard in your quest to do too many things well. You are looking to do your best in your work and with your health regimes, but you also have a strong pull towards rest and dealing with private matters or emotional needs. You may be giving or serving a little too much for your own good these days. Look for ways to make adjustments that lead to a healthier, more balanced life.
Use the 11-13 for symbolically throwing out the garbage. You're likely to see areas of focus and lines of thinking that are good for you and which ones are slowing or weighing you down. A Mercury-Uranus alignment aims to move you forward as an idea forms or information comes in that completes a plan or gets you to a conclusion. There can be news or surprises from a friend or in your networks now. An idea for a long-term project can be golden. Collaborating or brainstorming with a friend, group, or classmate can be particularly fruitful. This can also point to a disruption in your networks that pushes you forward.
Again, there is much going on behind the scenes in your life. On the 15-16, a New Moon occurs in your privacy sector at the same time that Uranus enters this sector for a long-term transit, representing a major shift, although it doesn't become consistent until March 2019 and beyond. Your dreaming world is vivid and intuition exceptionally active. Listen to your inner voice! Now and in coming years, this Uranus transit can really shake things up with matters related to the past and your privacy. Things may come to light that help you let go of negative attachments that have been keeping you from growing and thriving. Holding on tightly to your things and ideas may be about your fear of changes taking place in your social life. Watch for impulsiveness now, but do consider ways to move upwards and onwards.
Take advantage of clear, logical thinking around the 17-19 - a breath of fresh air after several emotionally-charged and perhaps impulsive days. A sense of purpose or mission, as well as the drive for results, combine to offer you considerable focus for your mental energies, so choose a project that has long-term potential and go with it. It’s also a good time for small, significant career moves. From the 19th forward, you're in a particularly good stage for money and gifts as well as attention to developing your talents and resources.
There is a nice shift in energy that is more future-oriented and upbeat starting in the last week of May. It may feel as if life is speeding up just enough to pull you out of a rut. You're braver about expressing yourself, and you're ready to take on a challenge. This can be a spunky time, but also a rather magical period for a sense of mission or purpose through work or health pursuits. It's a brilliant period for enjoying or finding work, showcasing your skills, and improving working relationships. There is powerfully creative, generous energy with you for matters related to your career and reputation. Trust that by doing what you love, you'll get where you need to go, however long it may take! The Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 29th pulls your sharp attention to a relationship matter and your feelings that are hard to deny at this time.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t suddenly change as the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts, and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
