Stargazing: May to June 2026
Christine Broadbent reveals the plantary influences for May and June 2026.
ARIES
Regeneration involves perspiration, with Saturn and Neptune in Aries for years now. Saturn’s hard-work push gets creative in May and June, while Uranus and Pluto both support Neptune, inspiring imagination. Mars is in Aries until May 19, adding extra fi ery determination. On May 23, all things to do with communication begin an exciting rebirth, yet May 20, 22 and 26 can attract confl ict or stress. To avoid this, restrain criticism, reduce spending, and get plenty of rest. Pace yourself, since June 15’s New Moon will bring another mad burst of ideas-driven
energy. June 16, 17 and 23 to 28 have wonderful potential.
TAURUS
From May 17’s New Moon in Taurus, life gains impetus. Your annual new start, when the Sun and Moon conjoin, is cushioned by helpful Jupiter aspects. These last from May 11 to June 10, extending the Taurus tender touch. Loving communication and time spent embracing Nature’s gifts protect you when you experience vocational challenges. Pluto is confronting you with aspects of your life and work that feel inauthentic. Planet Uranus helps you deal with this productively, via attitude changes in regard to fi nances. Neptune also brings assistance via soulful,
heart-warming practices. June 21’s solstice to June 30 awakens a sense of finding your safe haven within.
GEMINI
May begins with lover Venus and awakener Uranus in Gemini. Now your heart and head must work together to navigate the surprises and high potential of a new era. Once your ruler Mercury enters Gemini, conjoining Uranus on May 17 and 18, everything speeds up. It is May 20 to 21 that adds the creative thrust of the Sun in Gemini, plus Pluto’s depth perception. May 25 to 27 takes you even closer to your goals. Your Gemini New Moon of June 15 is the key to a loving relationship. Its fiery Venus links to Neptune and Uranus bring vision and passion, making June 16 to 26 your golden time.
CANCER
May and June are the last months of Jupiter’s heartwarming transit through Cancer, boosting confi dence. Excesses can bring regrets on May 5, 6 and 20, yet May 7 to 20’s Water/Earth harmonies guide you well. The meeting of the Sun and Uranus on May 23 calls the changes, with May 26 and 29 times to avoid controlling people. Meanwhile, your vocation has mixed messages: Hard truths or sweet dreams? Vocation means “to voice oneself”, and May 11 to 25 profiles your authentic voice. On June 10, Venus meet Jupiter in Cancer, and June 21’s solstice brings the Sun to Cancer. You are authentically in your element.
LEO
The Sun’s own sign of Leo is called “fixed fire”, the place where self-expression fi nds its full strength. Yet, Pluto is moving through your
partner sign, so important others have become a mirror that displays your vulnerabilities. By May 23, everything accelerates, when the Sun meets change-agent Uranus. Friendships and social roles are pleasing priorities through to May 31’s Full Moon. June 3 to 17 fi res up your passions and creative pursuits. From June 23 to 28, Venus in Leo paves your path. Then, right on June 30’s Full Moon, Jupiter, the “greater fortune”
begins its year in Leo, and life expands rapidly.
VIRGO
Virgo manages change well, yet your skills are challenged by surprises regarding your worldly roles. May 6 to 15 brings fateful connections, as the Virgo/Pisces eclipse axis deepens you. Then your ruler Mercury draws in unexpected events from May 17 to 23. By May 25, you are on track, but beware May 26, June 4 and 12, which are testing. With June 15’s New Moon, your clear path ahead is restored, with pleasant surprises on June 16 and 17. Mercury opens doors to networking and new friends in June, then goes retro at June 30’s Full Moon. Now love and creativity begin a retrospective renewal.
LIBRA
In antiquity, Libra’s scales weighed the heart against a feather. A light heart serves you well in May and June, bringing the balance you deeply need. While Neptune seeks the impossible dream, Saturn notices all the obstacles, confusing close relationships. May 2’s Full Moon highlights this dilemma, but May 15 to 20 brings clarity with an earthy New Moon. Time in nature heals you now. A new solar cycle activates your spirit of adventure, from May 21. Plans and preparation flow creatively, so do not lose heart on May 29 or June 10. Venus in Leo guides and inspires from June 13 to 26.
SCORPIO
Do enjoy fortunate Jupiter in your adventure sign through April and May, since it will be 12 years before it returns. As the fixed water sign,
penetrating questions and deep-healing concerns come with the territory. Now Jupiter guides you true with an enriched sense of the possible. Under a fi rst crescent Moon, Venus too enters your adventure sign. From May 19 to June 10, when she conjoins Jupiter, an exciting quest
beckons. Overlapping this, from May 23 to June 16, the new-era energy of Uranus prompts you to finalise changes regarding investment or
security. June 23 to 28 is an optimum time.
SAGITTARIUS
Surprises from your nearest and dearest come with change-agent Uranus now settled in your partner sign. In May and June, the eclipse axis also reveals the fateful potential of home and family. Meanwhile, love and creativity shift between hard realities and big dreams — Saturn and Neptune give mixed messages. An open mind as a seeker, leads you true in this newera planet dance. To avoid littering your life with hurt
feelings, restrain strong opinions on May 5, 6, 20, 22 and 26. Then May 31’s Full Moon in Sagittarius kickstarts a spectacular June, with June 15 to 26 really energising your plans.
CAPRICORN
May and June are the last months of fortunate Jupiter in your partner sign. Time to be proactive by listening to loved ones, supporting their dreams with practical advice. Then you truly honour your own dreams. Since Saturn and Neptune bring mixed messages to family and home matters, remember that control tactics invite confl ict, while ignoring issues invites problems. An authentic middle path emerges from May 11. May 17’s New Moon lights up love and creativity, while adventures beckon from May 23 to June 3. Ignore doubts on May 26 and June 18, then June 30’s Full Moon in Capricorn provides a fulfi lling climax.
AQUARIUS
Your comprehensive lists of well-researched suggestions are likely to be much in demand as the new era of Pluto, Uranus and Neptune
harmonies unfold. Since Pluto is in Aquarius, creative ideas arise from your depths. May and June are good months to reach for a long-held dream, to build a new foundation. May 19 to 28 has some surprises, generating excitement. May 31’s Full Moon, through to June 7, is a special week to consolidate plans or projects underway. On June 15’s New Moon, create an ideas journal, because there will be too many thoughts bubbling up to be activated. This will be useful later when new collaborations unfold.
PISCES
The fateful Pisces eclipse axis off ers you great networking opportunities from May 5 to 13, as well as June 16 to 28. Meanwhile, a new home and family cycle includes some strange Uranus surprises, particularly on May 22, 23 and 26. Yet, your ruler Jupiter continues to smile upon love and creativity through May and June. If any big plans are to succeed, fi nances need less dreams and more careful planning from May 22 to 31. Then June 1 to 3 sees messenger Mercury help you reach out to loved ones, while boosting work harmony. June 16, 17 and 23 to 28 offer
pleasant times and success.
