Hello, star child! Your monthly tarot horoscopes—also known as tarotscopes, which feature the combination of tarot cards and astrology—are here to help you navigate 2022.
And let me just say: May is going to be one for the books. We have Venus—the planet of love, beauty, and money—entering fiery Aries on the second, just a week before Jupiter (the planet of expansion) joins in on the party as it transitions into Aries on the 10th. What does that mean? Put simply, we are all being asked to raise our standards on our life goals and think bigger.
The eclipse season on the Scorpio-Taurus axis started on April 30, and we’ll have another instance of these powerful moon cycles with the full moon total lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 16. Ask yourself which of your most deeply ingrained subconscious beliefs are ready to be eradicated—and let them go on this day! When the Sun enters Gemini on May 20, expect the unexpected and get ready for new information of all kinds to be shared at lightning speed.
We will also have Mercury Retrograde in the earthly sign of Taurus on the 22nd. The final week of May is filled with transits: Mars enters Aries on the 24th, Venus joins Mercury in Taurus on the 28th, and we end the month with a new moon in Gemini on the 30th. What that means for you: Try to take a break from living in obligation and show yourself that what you really want is possible…with patience. As always, take your Mercury Retrograde period with a grain of salt and try to make sure that you’re making calculated decisions rather than knee-jerk responses to life this month.
Don’t forget to celebrate how far you’ve already come this year. April was a fertile time to plant your seeds of intention for the astrological year ahead, and we ended March with the full moon in Virgo, bringing us clarity on who or what we are ready to release in order to move forward with grace and structure, in true Virgo fashion. In February we had a Mercury retrograde in Aquarius that required us to keep ourselves grounded in reality by connecting to nature, putting our phones on airplane mode, and disengaging with anyone or anything that caused us to lose touch with a sense of presentness. In January we were asked to get clear about our goals and the intention that we plan to carry with us throughout the year.
So what lies ahead? Read on to see what’s in store for your sign—or your rising sign, which you can calculate here—in 2022 with your May tarotscopes.
