We’re constantly fascinated by what our zodiac sign says about our lives, whether it's which signs are most compatible or how each sign handles conflict in relationships. That's why Bustle has enlisted Mecca Woods, a New York City-based astrologer of MyLifeCreated.com, to tell us all about how astrology is affecting our lives each day. Today's topic: your monthly horoscope for May 2019.
This month pushes us to align our heads with our hearts with multiple planets entering practical Taurus (including a New Moon in Taurus on May 4), motivating Mars entering emotional Cancer (May 15), a Full Moon in passionate Scorpio (May 18), and the confident Sun entering curious Gemini (May 21).
Of course, aligning head and heart is no easy feat, but one way we can do so is by honoring what we need emotionally and then taking the logical steps towards getting those needs met, even if it means letting go of people, things, or situations we thought we needed -- but don't.
Plus, with chatty Mercury joining the Sun to help kick off Gemini season, we'll find that there's so much more out there for us to learn, engage, and see.
Happy Birthday, Gemini!
