A typical horoscope lays out what you can expect for yourself in the next week or month based on your Sun Sign. That sort of thing is great, sure… especially if you happen to be the only person on your planet. Astrology, like life in general, is a lot more complicated than “there are twelve types of people, and here’s what’s going to happen to them today.”
This “horoscope” is a listing of the major planetary aspects, ingresses, and events for May 2019. Each aspect is described below, with the date the aspect is exact and a “+/-” which indicates the number of days that aspect will be most in effect. Generally, the closer to the exact date, the more pronounced the effect of the transit. And of course, as with everything else in life: your mileage may vary.
May 1 Mercury sextile Mars
(+/- 4 days) You’re in a hurry to communicate your ideas… maybe you should put a little thought into it to get maximum effect.
May 1 Mercury square Saturn
(+/-4 days) Ouch! My brain hurts! Me think too hard! Me not get results from it!
May 2 Mercury square Pluto
(+/- 4 days) Try to maintain control of harsh words and disruptive thoughts.
May 2 Mercury trine Jupiter
(+/- 4 days) Big words and big ideas jump out all over the place, but make sure you’re being as brilliant as you think you are.
May 4 New Moon in Taurus
May 5 Mars opposite Jupiter
(+/- 6 days) Sometimes it’s hard to know what to do with a sudden and unexpectedly large power surge. Whatever the answer to that is, it’s probably not “rip someone’s head off for no good reason.”
May 6 Mercury enters Taurus
May 7 Venus square Saturn
(+/- 4 days) Some days are all work and no play, and that applies to your love life, your budget, and your diet sometimes.
May 8 Mercury conjunct Uranus
(+/- 3 days) There are a lot of exciting and bright new ideas out there, and some of them are yours. Also, some of them might not be that practical.
May 8 Sun sextile Neptune
(+/- 3 days) General good will and small, random acts of kindness will get you further than usual.
May 9 Venus trine Jupiter
(+/- 4 days) Why can’t we all just get along? Maybe under this aspect we can, for at least a little while.
May 9 Venus square Pluto
(+/-4 days) Your appetite for love and caring and fried food are amplified — try not to shove anyone out of the way to the buffet table.
May 11 Sun trine Saturn
(+/- 4 days) A good time to “get your act together” and make some positive changes in your life.
May 13 Sun trine Pluto
(+/- 4 days) Do something to boost your self-esteem, but don’t get too high on your own supply.
May 14 Venus sextile Mars
(+/- 5 days) The urge to socialize — and to mate — is increased.
May 15 Mercury sextile Neptune

May 15 Venus enters Taurus
I’m in the MooooooooD for love…
May 15 Mars enters Cancer
May 16 Mercury trine Saturn
(+/- 4 days) Thoughts and ideas can take root in practical application.

May 21 Sun enters Gemini
May 21 Mercury enters Gemini

(+/-6 days) Big, creative bursts of energy are available now to help you achieve your goal.
May 29 Mercury square Neptune
(+/- 3 days) Your thoughts and words are likely to take on a softer and more spiritual tone… or as my Dad used to put it, “stop spouting nonsense and try not to sound like such a hippie!”
May 30 Venus sextile Neptune
(+/- 5 days) Dreamy and floaty energy abounds. Be careful not to invest your money or your heart on a whim.
May 30 Mercury opposite Jupiter
(+/- 3 days) That’s an interesting idea… but do you really need to go on and on and on about it?
May 31 Venus trine Saturn
(+/- 5 days) Bring some stability to your finances and your affections.
