May opens the window to a fresh breeze of social, sensual energy, with Venus fluttering into the sign of lively Gemini this month.

This May, we’re doing it once more with a fresh curation, drawing on astrological analysis by SkyHoroscope. Here’s your handy guide to fun (plus some great deals for UOB Cardmembers) for the month.

 

Aries

The sextile of Venus and Neptune shines a rosy light on Aries’ relationships in May. If you’re coupled up, ride the surge of fresh feelings and spend more quality time with your partner this month. Singles might find it rewarding to mingle with new experiences – the new moon in Taurus occurs mid-May and boosts your personal growth, from career prospects to uncharted adventures.

Cancer

The tumultuous influence of Mars – the planet of war and passion – shadows Cancer. On the one hand, you’re in the right headspace to take action in many aspects of your life, with your strong drive to explore your options right now. On the other, you’ll need to rein in your rasher impulses – impatience with others is a trap that’s easy to fall into. Taking a moment to step back will serve you well.

Your health might not be the best this month, so beat the flu bug with a one-two punch of fitness and wholesome fare.

Sagittarius

The Sun is shining on Sagittarius’ productivity this May. You’ve got plenty of positive energy to propel you towards your goals, and your finances are on track too. Things are looking less rosy on the relationship front, with Jupiter’s influence fostering outsized and perhaps unrealistic expectations of your partner. Make it your goal to stay grounded and connected this month – you’ll be a better self for it.

You run the risk of being too harsh on yourself and others, so don’t forget to stay open to other perspectives and even ‘distracting’ hobbies.
