May is a watershed month for you, Aries, with a complete shift in the tides. You may have been caught in limbo or unprepared to take a huge step for the past year on and off. That all changes on May 10, when Jupiter, the planet of chance, danger, and personal growth, makes the first of two supercharged excursions into YOUR sign between now and May 2023. If you experienced a personal renaissance or the beginning of a new chapter when Jupiter last visited Aries in 2010 and 2011, prepare for another round of reinvention.
Mercury, the planet of communication and technology, will turn retrograde (backward) in Gemini on the same day Jupiter enters Aries, scrambling a few transmissions until June 3. Don’t rush into tearing your life down to the studs and gut-renovating it just yet. There may be some remaining issues from your past that need to be addressed first, such as contracts, paperwork, or a mutual agreement. Because Jupiter and Mercury are both connected with communication, it’s even more important to be clear.
The month also starts on the heels of the April 30 Taurus solar eclipse, which shattered your second house of employment and finances. On May 16, a lunar eclipse, this one a full moon, sweeps through Scorpio and your eighth house of intimacy and investments. Let the adjustments happen…and the dust settle. Eclipses are known for bringing profound changes, so let them happen. Come June, you’ll be free to start making decisions.

Taurus season helps you stabilize and prioritize
Ram, where do you think your efforts will have the most impact this month? Concentrate on that. Until May 20, the Sun is sunk in Taurus, your second house of work and money, providing you the stamina to develop your savings or grind out results. You’ve got a lot of great ideas this year, but not enough time to sit down and put them all into action. Now is your time to make real progressat long last!
As the month begins on the heels of a Taurus solar eclipse on April 30, you could be well on your way to a fresh financial start. Start prospecting new clients, sending out job inquiries, and getting your budget in order in the first few days of the month. Do you want to start a new routine or break a bad habit? During Taurus season, you’ll have extra celestial help.
On April 22, the Sun will make its once-a-year conjunction (meetup) with the inventor Uranus, which could result in a stroke of brilliance. Suddenly, the entire visionary image of how you may transform one of your ideas into a thriving side hustle, if not an empire, appears in front of you. (Hey, you’re an Aries, so you have big ideas!) This Sun-Uranus conjunction instills you with confidence and exhilaration, but be aware that it can also have a “sizzle and fizzle” impact. Play around with the options, but don’t start printing business cards or purchasing domain names until you’ve had some time to think about it.
Are you ready to pull the bandage off your day job? Aries, don’t get your hopes up just yet. Unless you have a cash cushion or something else in the works, take this time to plan an exit strategy with a reasonable timescale.
Brand-new start! Jupiter enters Aries May 10
The gigantic Jupiter makes a triumphant return to Aries on May 10, setting off a tour that will endure until October 28. Wow! This is a turbocharged new beginning and the start of a 12-year chapter in your life. Jupiter takes a dozen years to make its way around your zodiac sign (it was last in Aries on and off from June 2010 until June 2011). Look back to those dates for hints about what might come up nowsomething that could be a huge turning point in your life.
Because Jupiter has been slogging through Pisces and your twelfth house of rest, closure, and endings since December 28, 2021and for much of 2021this will be a welcome reprieve. You are not imagining things if you felt like you were always swimming upstream or battling to keep your eyelids open. Jupiter was nearing the end of its last 12-year cycle, and your task was to “sort the crops” and decide what you wanted to bring into the next. It was a year of introspection and reflection, akin to a protracted astrological winter.
What about the bright side? Jupiter’s transit through Pisces might have ushered in a creative renaissance or a healing season. From October 28 to December 20, the red-spotted planet will make one final pass through Pisces. If you’re starting a huge project right now, schedule some downtime or an integration period later. When Jupiter visits Aries from December 20, 2022, to May 16, 2023, go behind the scenes to fine-tune and refine, then do a second act.
While it may have appeared that nothing was developing under the frozen ground over the winter, many dormant seeds were beginning to germinate. The advent of Jupiter in your sign on May 10 will feel like springtime, when everything is new and the first shoots begin to poke through. Alternatively, if you spend the previous year weeding and digging up all the old stuff, there’s still good news: the soil is now rich for seed sowing. You’ll feel like you’re launching a rocket ship from now on, and the most difficult part will be keeping up with yourself!
Mercury turns retrograde May 10 to June 3
Aries, how about a “soft launch”? On the same day that Jupiter enters your sign, communication planet Mercury begins its second retrograde of the year, causing communication, technology, travel, and all of your plans to get jumbled. Before you take to the runway, Ram, double-check that you’re cleared for takeoff. Until May 22, Mercury is retrograde in Gemini, your communication house, amplifying the havoc it causes in your interactions. If you can, postpone any major announcements until next month. Mercury will reverse through Taurus from May 22 to June 3, disturbing your second house of labor and money. Keep a close watch on your budget and a level mind during those Zoom sessions with your coworkers. If you’re working with people in real life again, exercise tremendous restraint because conflict with coworkers and clients may flare up more quickly than usual.
The May 16 Scorpio full moon and total lunar eclipse is intense and intimate
What lies beneath the surface? On May 16, the Scorpio total lunar eclipse and full blood moon shines into your eighth house of intimacy, integrating, and secrets, creating a passionate moment arclass=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link”.

This is a powerful time to address any unresolved emotions and face worries you’ve ignored.
This lunar eclipse will be even more potent because it will pass close to the karmic south node in Scorpio, implying that changes may be “meant to be.” But don’t expect your friends and coworkers to understand or support your motivationclass=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” es. In your teamwork and technology zone, the moon eclipse will form a hard 90-degree square to conservative Saturn. Be cautious about who you share classified material with and where you share it. At happy hour, avoid making premature Facebook announcements or confiding in coworkers. Allow a week for the “eclipse dust” to settle before lifting the cover.
Gemini season heats up your social life on May 20

Aries is a cardinal fire sign controlled by Mars, the action planet, with those born in the first third of the sign being twice dominated by Mars. Aries 1s are always running up that hill, either literally or symbolically (but typically literally). This is Aries, the pop star, the unvarnished opinion, and the wild youngster that is always making a scene. This Aries isn’t going to stop till they’ve won. Consider Lady Gaga during the Born This Way era, who pushed through ailments to give her best at every performance. These are the unstoppable combatants who cannot and will not be tamed.
Aretha Franklin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Keira Knightley, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Fergie, Lady Gaga, Reese Witherspoon, Elton John, Reba McEntire, and Chaka Khan are some famous Aries 1s.

Are Aries intelligent?
It’s an exciting period in your life when you get your first job. Receiving your first paycheck offers you a new lease on life, demonstrating that you are self-sufficient and capable of facing the challenges ahead. It provides you the self-assurance you need to go about your daily life, and it teaches you the actual meaning of accountability.
However, before you can bask in the light of your first paycheck, you must first succeed in your job. And, let’s face it, if it’s your first job, you probably don’t have much experience, right? Wrong. There is no doubt that you have a diverse set of experiences that can help you flourish at your profession.
Not only that, but as an Aries, you have certain characteristics that can help you excel in your new job. When you break down the things you’ve done in the past, you’ll notice that each one demands a different skill set and teaches you something different. Using an Aries’ personality traits can not only help you succeed in your first job, but it will also help you thrive.
Spontaneity
You, as an Aries, are impulsive and thrive in the unknown. Your method of action is “no plan, plan.” It’s all about how you work. While this may appear to be a disadvantage on the job, it might actually benefit you.
Do: At work, allow yourself to get little sidetracked. Staying focused isn’t always the most efficient approach to get things done for an Aries. Allowing for distractions can help you approach an issue or problem from a new, fresh viewpoint. It will improve your work performance and offer you an advantage in overcoming any challenges.
Don’t: Become irritable with the task at hand. The sign of Aries is noted for their impatience. If you’re trying to complete a task or find yourself losing patience when conversing with someone, take a break and allow yourself to be distracted. All we need is a little patience at times, and the rest will take care of itself.
Intelligence
People born under the sign of Aries are naturally brilliant. They’re also quick-witted. This can be highly beneficial in the office, since it can help you get support from coworkers. This admiration might grow over time and reach your superiors.
Do: Put your intelligence to work in a way that allows your emotional intelligence to show. There are numerous types of intelligence, and demonstrating that you can convey emotional intelligence will demonstrate to your employer that you are a mature, skilled team member.
Don’t: Make a show of your intelligence while dismissing others. The Aries people are prone to arrogance. You don’t have to prove your intelligence. It will naturally exude if you are intelligent.
Daring
Aries have a proclivity for rushing into tasks with little concern for the repercussions. Because Aries people set out to achieve everything they set their minds to, this ambitious mentality can benefit you at work.
Do: Put your adventurous and bold personality to good use at your new employment. Learn everything you can about the career or industry you’re working in, and utilize this information to increase your workplace confidence.
Whether you work in retail or accountancy, every firm has a story to tell. Find out what it is and impress your boss with your knowledge. This will make you stand out, and it will demonstrate that you care about the job you’re doing. It will also allow you to ask questions and engage with others with whom you work in a meaningful way.
Don’t: Take risks and don’t consider things out. You, as an Aries, are prone to being hasty. If you have a brilliant idea, discuss it with others. Consider your goal and how you plan to achieve it. Consider the consequences of your activities to help you prepare for the future and become a more responsible and reasonable employee.
Active And Energetic
Aries people are continuously on the lookout for new experiences. Being adventurous may seem out of place at work, but if you use it to your advantage, you will succeed. Because Aries people are constantly on the lookout for new experiences, growing bored with a task is not an option. Instead, try approaching the problem from a different perspective.
Do: Get your coworkers together and plan a physical activity. This will demonstrate your initiative while also allowing you to use some of the energy you’ve accumulated.
This practice can take many different forms. It could be a monthly hiking club, a weekly yoga session, or 5k training. Whatever it is, it’s a terrific opportunity to get to know your coworkers outside of the workplace and a fun new way to meet new people.
Don’t: People are labeled “lazy” if they aren’t working as hard as you are. It comes easily to you to be busy and enthusiastic. Just because you’re traveling a million miles per hour and your coworker isn’t doesn’t mean you should hold grudges against them. Recognize that everyone works differently, and what works for you might not work for someone next to you.
