Overview for this Month: Gemini (All)
May 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
There can be much focus on the past, emotional issues, and your inner world in May, dear Gemini, although you’re building towards a far more active and involved phase as the month progresses. Key players move into your social sector: Venus on the 2nd, Jupiter on the 10th, and Mars on the 24th. As well, the Sun enters your sign on the 20th.
Still, it's eclipse season, stirring your inner world. On the last day of last month, a Solar Eclipse encouraged new beginnings with rest, recuperation, and downtime. The Lunar Eclipse on May 16th reminds you of the need to find a work-rest balance. It calls you to action, mainly to take better care of daily routines, wellness, and work matters.
A Jupiter-Pluto transit empowers you--financial backing or moral support can arrive for your longer-term goals or career. Intimacy and psychological growth get a boost. You could be putting a strategic amount of extra resources, such as money, support, or energy, into your work, career path, or life path goals and possibly also getting some solid support for doing so. You're in a great position to advance your goals in rewarding ways. Belief in yourself is what seems to be the key now.
If you need to handle a private matter or deal with an ending or a problem from the past, the first week of May is powerful.
The month gets off to a motivating start with your career or life-path goals in strong focus and perhaps some extra attention on professional levels. However, the mighty Sun is in a hidden area of your solar chart, until the 20th, suggesting you need personal downtime as you wind down your solar year and prepare for the next one. Still, you quite easily draw upon your memory or wisdom to solve a problem or advance a goal. While you can be somewhat retiring personally, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is in force. Do keep in mind that you are bound to bring out strong feelings and reactions in others whether or not you intend to.
Career, professional developments, and responsibilities gradually become less prominent as the month progresses and your social sector lights up. You have more charisma with friends and groups, and relationships can be animated.
Mercury turns retrograde in your sign on the 10th, signaling a need to look back before moving forward. There can be information clogs until next month, but the pause can help you catch up and make different choices and important edits.
Jupiter moves into your friends and dreams sector on the 10th. It’s part one of a transit that will develop even further next year. Ideally, you’ve accomplished some pretty big goals and now have more freedom to pursue objectives that are less about performance and more about enjoyment! Jupiter loosens you up in this way. This Jupiter transit will help remind you of the need to enjoy yourself more often. You’ll be pouring more energy into friendships, networking, personal causes, and community or group associations with this booster transit. Fortunately, these things bring benefits to you. This transit's first of two parts runs from May 10th to October 28th.
The 18-21 can bring you personal attention, but it can also be a time of remarkable new insights into your emotional life, family, or the past. While this can be subtle, it can leave you feeling better equipped to move forward.
The Sun in your sign from the 20th boosts your sense of personal power and increases your influence and presence. It also brings out the need to share your ideas and use the power of words to improve your life. It's a fine time to consider new personal initiatives.
You’re particularly noticeable, prouder, and more confident or coming across with more personal strength at this time. Retrograde Mercury aligns with the Sun in your sign on the 21st, making it a significant time to see recent decisions or plans in a new light. Mercury retreats into your privacy sector the next day, and more rumination is likely. Looking at past projects with new eyes can figure strongly. Keep in mind that your words have more impact than usual, but Mercury is still retrograde, so watching what you communicate is important. You have more clout and personal presence, but there can be some mystery surrounding you. Decision-making may be challenging but probably only requires more time. Your mind may be looping back to the same old problems. Some of the decisions made and projects started in April can come up for review.
On the 28-29, strong feelings can stir the desire to pursue a cause, goal, or cherished dream as Mars and Jupiter align in your sector of community. You might meet with interesting people and share your ideas and ideals, or there can be inspirational and motivating experiences with existing friends. Your drive to get something started/moving is active, and while feelings can be raw, you'll eventually find ways to channel them into something genuinely constructive. There can be a sudden desire or courage to connect with a friend or group or to take action. It's an exciting time for connecting and collaborating.
The New Moon on the 30th is in your sign, pointing to a brand new beginning. It's a time of more personal presence and power, and it’s a theme that continues into June. Since your planetary ruler, Mercury, remains retrograde until June 3rd, take things slowly as you consider ways to reinvent or renew yourself.

Gemini (Born May 22 to 31) and Gemini Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Gemini:
May 2022 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 20th:
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 20th 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.
Eclipse
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on May 16th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar sixth house. Surprises surrounding work, working relationships, daily routines, or health issues are in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Flaws come to light and demand a clean-up. This could manifest as, for example, a work project coming to an end or bearing fruit, a surprising announcement on the job, a circumstance that calls for you to support a co-worker, a flurry of activity prompted by the demands of work or for your services, a surprising health matter, and other such possibilities. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
From May 2-27:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
From May 28th:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 21st:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from May 10th to June 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign's ruler, all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues may apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members.
Occurring in your solar twelfth and first houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to body language and intuition. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with close partners and family members; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until May 24th:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
From May 24th forward:
Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.
As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Gemini (Born June 1 to 11) and Gemini Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Gemini:
May 2022 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2022
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 May 11th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.

AND Gemini Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Gemini:
May 2022 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2022
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 a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From May 20th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from May 10th to June 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign's ruler, all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues may apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 11th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
From the 11th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.
Overview Horoscope:
May 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
There can be much focus on the past, emotional issues, and your inner world in May, dear Gemini, although you’re building towards a far more active and involved phase as the month progresses. Key players move into your social sector: Venus on the 2nd, Jupiter on the 10th, and Mars on the 24th. As well, the Sun enters your sign on the 20th.
Still, it's eclipse season, stirring your inner world. On the last day of last month, a Solar Eclipse encouraged new beginnings with rest, recuperation, and downtime. The Lunar Eclipse on May 16th reminds you of the need to find a work-rest balance. It calls you to action, mainly to take better care of daily routines, wellness, and work matters.
A Jupiter-Pluto transit empowers you--financial backing or moral support can arrive for your longer-term goals or career. Intimacy and psychological growth get a boost. You could be putting a strategic amount of extra resources, such as money, support, or energy, into your work, career path, or life path goals and possibly also getting some solid support for doing so. You're in a great position to advance your goals in rewarding ways. Belief in yourself is what seems to be the key now.
If you need to handle a private matter or deal with an ending or a problem from the past, the first week of May is powerful.
The month gets off to a motivating start with your career or life-path goals in strong focus and perhaps some extra attention on professional levels. However, the mighty Sun is in a hidden area of your solar chart, until the 20th, suggesting you need personal downtime as you wind down your solar year and prepare for the next one. Still, you quite easily draw upon your memory or wisdom to solve a problem or advance a goal. While you can be somewhat retiring personally, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is in force. Do keep in mind that you are bound to bring out strong feelings and reactions in others whether or not you intend to.
Career, professional developments, and responsibilities gradually become less prominent as the month progresses and your social sector lights up. You have more charisma with friends and groups, and relationships can be animated.
Mercury turns retrograde in your sign on the 10th, signaling a need to look back before moving forward. There can be information clogs until next month, but the pause can help you catch up and make different choices and important edits.
Jupiter moves into your friends and dreams sector on the 10th. It’s part one of a transit that will develop even further next year. Ideally, you’ve accomplished some pretty big goals and now have more freedom to pursue objectives that are less about performance and more about enjoyment! Jupiter loosens you up in this way. This Jupiter transit will help remind you of the need to enjoy yourself more often. You’ll be pouring more energy into friendships, networking, personal causes, and community or group associations with this booster transit. Fortunately, these things bring benefits to you. This transit's first of two parts runs from May 10th to October 28th.
The 18-21 can bring you personal attention, but it can also be a time of remarkable new insights into your emotional life, family, or the past. While this can be subtle, it can leave you feeling better equipped to move forward.
The Sun in your sign from the 20th boosts your sense of personal power and increases your influence and presence. It also brings out the need to share your ideas and use the power of words to improve your life. It's a fine time to consider new personal initiatives.
You’re particularly noticeable, prouder, and more confident or coming across with more personal strength at this time. Retrograde Mercury aligns with the Sun in your sign on the 21st, making it a significant time to see recent decisions or plans in a new light. Mercury retreats into your privacy sector the next day, and more rumination is likely. Looking at past projects with new eyes can figure strongly. Keep in mind that your words have more impact than usual, but Mercury is still retrograde, so watching what you communicate is important. You have more clout and personal presence, but there can be some mystery surrounding you. Decision-making may be challenging but probably only requires more time. Your mind may be looping back to the same old problems. Some of the decisions made and projects started in April can come up for review.
On the 28-29, strong feelings can stir the desire to pursue a cause, goal, or cherished dream as Mars and Jupiter align in your sector of community. You might meet with interesting people and share your ideas and ideals, or there can be inspirational and motivating experiences with existing friends. Your drive to get something started/moving is active, and while feelings can be raw, you'll eventually find ways to channel them into something genuinely constructive. There can be a sudden desire or courage to connect with a friend or group or to take action. It's an exciting time for connecting and collaborating.
The New Moon on the 30th is in your sign, pointing to a brand new beginning. It's a time of more personal presence and power, and it’s a theme that continues into June. Since your planetary ruler, Mercury, remains retrograde until June 3rd, take things slowly as you consider ways to reinvent or renew yourself.

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 the 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 reveals 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.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
