On top of that, Jupiter will then move into Taurus around the 16th, allowing a more stable, grounded feeling to enter our lives. Mars will then enter Leo on the 20th of the month, boosting our creativity, energy, confidence, and affection moving forward. This is followed by Gemini season kicking off on the 21st of the month, making communication, planning, and mental connection more of a focus as we all begin to loosen up a bit and have some fun.
Overall, May will likely be packed with different energies that could take us for a wild ride.
