Air Signs — Aquarius, Gemini, Libra
The Fool + The Chariot + Two of Cups
April’s message was about being skeptical of new opportunities, and May is continuation of that thread. You’re at the beginning of a new journey — one you still don’t feel fully prepared or ready for.
But May’s energy is encouraging you to continue to press forward. Do it scared and trust that you’ll figure it out as you go. Yes, you already have a lot on your plate, but this is also a lesson in leveraging your relationships. You have great people in your life who are more than willing to help you. Lean on them. Delegate. Take some things off your plate — it’ll make moving through this new chapter a whole lot easier.
Fire Signs — Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
The Hanged Man + Ten of Wands rx + Ten of Pentacles
Many of the messages for fire signs in 2025 were about releasing what you’ve outgrown. And some of you have been diligent and intentional about taking those steps — letting go of the relationship, the job, the bad habit, whatever it is. If that’s you, you’re moving closer to the stability and freedom that you’ve been working toward all along.
For those still white-knuckling it — you’re continuing to hold yourself back. And remember, some of these opportunities will not circle back around.
Water Signs — Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
Queen of Cups + Two of Swords + Two of Pentacles
Water signs, your intuition is your greatest gift. Whatever answer you’ve been seeking, you already know it on a cellular level. But because it’s not the answer you want, or a choice you’re comfortable making, you’re choosing not to tackle it head on. You’re purposefully keeping the blinders on and staying busy to avoid making a decision.
This month Spirit is asking you to trust yourself. You have everything you need to handle whatever comes from that decision.
Earth Signs — Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Five of Wands + Ace of Cups rx + King of Swords
Conflict — internal or external — is going to be a theme for you this month, earth signs. And for some, it’s spilling over from April. Either way, it’s been upsetting enough to make you close yourself off emotionally, though not completely. And honestly, that’s okay for where you are right now.
This isn’t the time for you to be seeking emotional clarity, that’ll come eventually. Right now, it’s important for you to have a clear head because there are more pressing issues to deal with. Pragmatism is what’s needed now.
