Overview for this Month: Scorpio (All)
May 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
With a Solar Eclipse in your partnership sector just behind you as you begin May, dear Scorpio, you're in great shape for starting anew. Sorting out problems and enjoying special moments with someone special can be pleasant activities in their own right but can also positively impact many different life departments. You're motivated to work hard to relate in positive, rewarding ways. If you want to start fresh or make changes in your relationship state or status, it's an excellent time to set your intentions. Creative pursuits and pastimes are a strong draw, and as the month advances, good energy is with you for daily affairs, work, and wellness.
With a Jupiter-Pluto transit, you could get the chance (and confidence) to deeply involve yourself in a creative or exciting project. A budding romance or a satisfying pursuit can figure strongly. It's a time to see improvements in your communication skills, mindset, attitude, or ability to reach out and connect with others more meaningfully. There can be excellent, although possibly intense, connections to others through communications. You can be positioned to showcase your creativity, and your studies and personal interests can be enriching. This transit gives you a boost for self-expression and even transformation through writing, art, sharing, or feelings of love. You can feel passionate about a project or relationship.
Outdated ways of relating are falling to the side, paving the way for exciting breakthroughs. Your romantic or creative life might heat up. Fortunately, you're gaining a deeper understanding of what you need from others and what you're capable of all on your own.
You gravitate to activities where you can create, compete, or play. You could be excited about taking the lead with or changing a relationship, romance, entertainment, recreational activity, or hobby, or you might experience a new desire to move forward in these areas.
Lovely energy is with you for work, taking better care of yourself through improved or extra attention to your habits and routines, and getting happily on track with your practical affairs in May. Venus transits your work and health sector from the 2 to 28, Mars is there from the 24th, and most impressively, Jupiter enters this area of your solar chart on the 10th. These transits bring unique energy, warmth, and spirit to your daily affairs. You enjoy getting organized, healthy, and in shape.
Jupiter's transit lasts from May 10-October 28, but it will return from December 20th to May 16th of next year. It motivates you to improve your health, daily habits, work, and routines. Finding more joy and satisfaction from your work is most helpful, and if you’re looking for new work, this is a very employable time! Increased faith and optimism can help you heal, and you can find new meaning in your duties.
With Mercury retrograde from the 10th forward (until June 3rd), you'll be going over old problems, conversations, and negotiations, and some delays or information clogs are likely. Others may not always come through for you in the usual ways. Ideally, these things redirect you in helpful ways, and the edits you make now support you later.
On the 16th, a Lunar Eclipse occurs in your sign, and you can have an emotional awakening. Truths you face now can be about something with you for some time but that you haven't yet acknowledged or fully noticed. You can have a revelation about your feelings for someone, your image, or your impact. Events or epiphanies happening now seem to force a desire to make big changes related to your sense of independence. These feelings are real, but take your time with them.
From the 20th, your attention more often turns to your commitments, finances, shared resources, and deepening feelings. There can be a stronger focus on emotional or material support in your life, power dynamics in close relationships, and personal development within. It can be a superb time for exploring a particular topic of interest in more depth. On the 20-21, you're doing new thinking on financial matters, recent decisions, or intimate relationships. It can be about putting a mental focus behind you, particularly if you’ve been dwelling on a past relationship or problem that has been draining you of energy and keeping you stuck in the past.
On the 28-29, your enterprising spirit is strong, and finding new meaning in a project or endeavor boosts your motivation levels. You want to do your own thing and set your own pace, and you can undoubtedly come up with inventive ways to solve old problems or to perform your duties and tasks. Look for opportunities to expand in the areas of work and fitness, being careful not to take on too much. You're in the mood to do something new, exciting, different, or challenging in these areas. The New Moon on the 30th further motivates you to start fresh, but take your time with new beginnings until after Mercury ends its retrograde on June 3rd.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
May 2022 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 20th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.
From May 20th forward:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
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.
The Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar first house. Surprises surrounding your personal plans and your personal presence 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 sector of personal appearance, initiative, and "me first" energy is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a sudden assertion of independence (even a temper tantrum), a situation that tests your leadership skills, a culmination or fruition of an important partnership, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
From May 2-27:
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.
From May 28th:
Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 21st:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
Mercury is retrograde from May 10th to June 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.
Occurring in your solar seventh and eighth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations, one-on-one communications, and any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. 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. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of the 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 adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement 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; 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 fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.
From May 24th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

Scorpio (Born November 3 to 12) and Scorpio Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Scorpio:
May 2022 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until May 11th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. 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 11th forward:
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.

Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:
May 2022 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 10th:
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 10th 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.

The Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar first house. Surprises surrounding your personal plans and your personal presence 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 sector of personal appearance, initiative, and "me first" energy is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a sudden assertion of independence (even a temper tantrum), a situation that tests your leadership skills, a culmination or fruition of an important partnership, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 19th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. 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 20th forward:
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
Mercury is retrograde from May 10th to June 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.
Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. 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 some damage if you (or your partner) focus on the choice of words instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, try not to over-react to what your partner has to say. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to reflect upon your negotiation skills with the goal of improving them. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement 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; 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 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 the 11th 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 Scorpio:
With a Solar Eclipse in your partnership sector just behind you as you begin May, dear Scorpio, you're in great shape for starting anew. Sorting out problems and enjoying special moments with someone special can be pleasant activities in their own right but can also positively impact many different life departments. You're motivated to work hard to relate in positive, rewarding ways. If you want to start fresh or make changes in your relationship state or status, it's an excellent time to set your intentions. Creative pursuits and pastimes are a strong draw, and as the month advances, good energy is with you for daily affairs, work, and wellness.
With a Jupiter-Pluto transit, you could get the chance (and confidence) to deeply involve yourself in a creative or exciting project. A budding romance or a satisfying pursuit can figure strongly. It's a time to see improvements in your communication skills, mindset, attitude, or ability to reach out and connect with others more meaningfully. There can be excellent, although possibly intense, connections to others through communications. You can be positioned to showcase your creativity, and your studies and personal interests can be enriching. This transit gives you a boost for self-expression and even transformation through writing, art, sharing, or feelings of love. You can feel passionate about a project or relationship.
Outdated ways of relating are falling to the side, paving the way for exciting breakthroughs. Your romantic or creative life might heat up. Fortunately, you're gaining a deeper understanding of what you need from others and what you're capable of all on your own.
You gravitate to activities where you can create, compete, or play. You could be excited about taking the lead with or changing a relationship, romance, entertainment, recreational activity, or hobby, or you might experience a new desire to move forward in these areas.
Lovely energy is with you for work, taking better care of yourself through improved or extra attention to your habits and routines, and getting happily on track with your practical affairs in May. Venus transits your work and health sector from the 2 to 28, Mars is there from the 24th, and most impressively, Jupiter enters this area of your solar chart on the 10th. These transits bring unique energy, warmth, and spirit to your daily affairs. You enjoy getting organized, healthy, and in shape.
Jupiter's transit lasts from May 10-October 28, but it will return from December 20th to May 16th of next year. It motivates you to improve your health, daily habits, work, and routines. Finding more joy and satisfaction from your work is most helpful, and if you’re looking for new work, this is a very employable time! Increased faith and optimism can help you heal, and you can find new meaning in your duties.
With Mercury retrograde from the 10th forward (until June 3rd), you'll be going over old problems, conversations, and negotiations, and some delays or information clogs are likely. Others may not always come through for you in the usual ways. Ideally, these things redirect you in helpful ways, and the edits you make now support you later.
On the 16th, a Lunar Eclipse occurs in your sign, and you can have an emotional awakening. Truths you face now can be about something with you for some time but that you haven't yet acknowledged or fully noticed. You can have a revelation about your feelings for someone, your image, or your impact. Events or epiphanies happening now seem to force a desire to make big changes related to your sense of independence. These feelings are real, but take your time with them.
From the 20th, your attention more often turns to your commitments, finances, shared resources, and deepening feelings. There can be a stronger focus on emotional or material support in your life, power dynamics in close relationships, and personal development within. It can be a superb time for exploring a particular topic of interest in more depth. On the 20-21, you're doing new thinking on financial matters, recent decisions, or intimate relationships. It can be about putting a mental focus behind you, particularly if you’ve been dwelling on a past relationship or problem that has been draining you of energy and keeping you stuck in the past.
On the 28-29, your enterprising spirit is strong, and finding new meaning in a project or endeavor boosts your motivation levels. You want to do your own thing and set your own pace, and you can undoubtedly come up with inventive ways to solve old problems or to perform your duties and tasks. Look for opportunities to expand in the areas of work and fitness, being careful not to take on too much. You're in the mood to do something new, exciting, different, or challenging in these areas. The New Moon on the 30th further motivates you to start fresh, but take your time with new beginnings until after Mercury ends its retrograde on June 3rd.

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. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because 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 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 (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
