May 2022 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

May 2022

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until May 20th:

The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.

From May 20th forward:

The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".

You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

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 twelfth house. Surprises surrounding the compassionate care and attention you give others, as well as the work and service you render, may be 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. Your sectors of self-undoing, privacy, and dreams is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests your faith and compassion, a culmination or fruition of a service you render, an event that calls on your urge for privacy and reflection, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between practical concerns and spiritual or non-material matters is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure

From May 2-27: 

Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

From May 28th: 

Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 21st:

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.

At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.

Mercury is retrograde from May 10th to June 3rd:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.

Occurring in your solar sixth and seventh houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations, work, and one-on-one communications. Be as non- judgmental as you can with a partner and with co-workers. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do serious damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't over-react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as good at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership or a job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners, co-workers, and superiors, 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 activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

From May 24th forward:

Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

Overview Horoscope:

May 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:

May is strong for making helpful adjustments and getting your daily routines and self-care systems into order, dear Sagittarius. It can be a busy time with the Sun in your solar sixth house of work, health, and habits until the 20th. A Solar Eclipse has just occurred in this area of your solar chart, and you want to start fresh. In fact, it's a beautiful time for making improvements to your daily life.

You bring more pride to your work, habits, and health in the first three weeks of May. It's a strong time for launching new fitness or health programs and work projects.

It's important to pay particular attention to your work and chores this month, but if you're overdoing this and failing to take care of your need for downtime, you'll get a reminder around the 16th. A Lunar Eclipse keeps you in check. Arriving at a balance between work and rest is a challenge, but it's within reach, and it can be rewarding.

Your ruling planet, Jupiter, harmonizes with Pluto this month, and you can find more power and resources to establish yourself related to a home or property, long-term business, or learning endeavors/projects. There could be additional resources or money to put into comfort needs, family, or home life. Renovations on either a physical or emotional plane can be most satisfying. The drive to improve or expand your personal or home life is strong, and through these efforts, you feel more confident. Your nesting urges are alive and well, and you're ready to do what it takes to feel more secure and comfortable.

Still, Jupiter heads into a new sign this month, and it's an exciting move. On the 10th, this planet of plenty moves into your sector of joy, and this longer-term transit is powerful for encouraging you to express and enjoy yourself. It comes in two parts, the first of which lasts from May 10-October 28, when you'll find new channels for pleasures, romance, or leisure. This longer-term transit encourages you to come out of your shell and enjoy yourself more thoroughly. You might suddenly get in touch with a desire or discover a new interest that can be the focus of your attention for some time into the future.

Until then, you have more energy for work around the home or taking the lead in your personal life. If your routines have been stifling or confining, you'll want to break free in some manner. You may very well discover new methods to improve essential systems in your life.

Mercury is retrograde from May 10th to June 3rd, and there can be some delays or information clogs. There may be the need to review, redo, or double-check your work.

Strong creative energy is with you in May, and with key planets moving into your solar fifth house, you could be making new connections and sharing your ideas and creations. It's a spirited period for all things romantic, creative, and fun. Hobbies can be a strong focus now. You're also attracting positive attention, and your charm is natural and strong.

From the 20th, the Sun transits your opposite sign, and you seek a more balanced state of being. There can be a stronger focus on companionship or partnerships. With the Sun and retrograde Mercury coming together on the 20-21, you benefit from the ability to see the dysfunctional elements of the past and new insight can nudge you along a different path. A partner can have much to contribute now, or you might make significant mental discoveries through a one-on-one conversation.

On the 28-29, you can feel especially enthusiastic or passionate about a project, creative activity, or relationship. Mars joins Jupiter in your solar house of entertainment, hobbies, romance, talent, showmanship, and self-expression, fueling your courage to make a move, pursue your heart's desire, or share something of yourself. Big emotions, reactions, and opinions tend to push you in a new direction, as taking action can be a real drive. There can be considerable enthusiasm about a new venture, relationship, or hobby. You stand out for who you are and what you create. You also have more courage to express yourself and to go after your heart's desire. The New Moon on the 30th brings the need to begin anew, particularly with your relationships. Indecision is still likely until June 3rd, but it's a good time to observe and set intentions.
