May is the month of flowers, Sun, and the fullest expression of Spring’s beauty. It makes sense for the month to begin with the Sun in a graceful, grounded, and gorgeous Taurus, encouraging you to slow down and absorb all the smooth, steady vibrations.
However, this coming month of May is not as smooth as the vision you may have of it. In fact, May 2021 will be quite challenging for Cancer, Virgo, and Sagittarius, and for them, it may be a lot more chaotic and unpredictable than they hoped.
Once Gemini season kicks off on May 20, you could be in for a pretty bumpy ride. This is because a Blood Moon (also called a Lunar Eclipse) will take place on May 26, starting the month off with a major bang. In astrology, Blood Moons are much more than a mystical lunation in which the Moon begins to radiate the color crimson red.
They signify a major turning point, and often they bring completely unexpected changes. When eclipse season begins, it’s not clear what the cosmos has planned for you, and to be completely honest, it’s not in your hands. However, you can rest assured that what happens in the weeks surrounding an eclipse was meant to happen.
In fact, it has always been part of your destiny. However, at first, you might have a little trouble knowing which changes are really permanent. This is because Mercury will station retrograde on May 29 in Gemini, which will infuse the cosmos with confusing and delicate energy.
Mercury retrograde can create discord that eventually resolves itself. It can also bring up unfinished business from the past, opening doors that were never really closed. May is a month of uncertainty, but it could also lead to permanent changes. All you can do is wait and see what happens.
