Scorpio May 2024

Sorry kiddo, but it’s all about you and relationships now. Whether you like it or not, whether you’re ready or not. (You’re always ready. You’re a born survivor.) The road may seem solitary now, but it’s not. Your seventh partnership house is just too full of love and planetary support for you to walk away.

At the same time – WOW. Tonight – if you begin reading this horoscope when it actually begins – Tuesday, April 23, credited as Shakespeare’s birthday – there is a full Scorpio Moon – shining onto you and into your first house. You will either be losing your mind or enjoying the public spotlight somewhere quite glamorous (nothing shoddy for the Scorpio.) Possibly both at the same time. If in the public, for instance if you are a performer, you will maintain your composure beautifully – mais oui.

May offers you an incredible TRUCE time. Time to repair bridges, say what’s really on your mind, sort it out once and for all with those who matter to you. Tonight is just the beginning…and it will be an eye-opener.

Sometimes, Scorpio, it is not about you being rejected, but others feeling rejected by you. Your power is often stronger than you realize.

Negotiations as you step into May will go in your favor (and are what you’ve been secretly dreaming of forever.) You’ll feel like you won the love lottery. Close relationships fill your May with joy – if you let them. Past partners and loved ones also return and want to help you.

The only thing you have to watch for are neighbors and potentially your siblings. They won’t be so happy about the old clan returning. Goals seem to conflict with yours the second week of May but really it is financial worry talking. Those with opposing goals for your finances of all shapes and sizes are included. Housemates, neighbors, love partners, family members, your business partners, your agent, your accountant, you name it.

But it will work out! Even work-wise, it’s fun: at professional and fundraising events, charitable groups…some work-related, one or two past – purely business – partners. All most likely as part of a group of people. For in your seventh house of relationships you have too much planetary support to be seriously worried.

In this partnership house, traditionally ruled by harmony-loving Libra, you have:

Shining powerhouse Sun

Fortunate planet of beauty and love, Venus

Lotto lucky Jupiter

Genius sudden Uranus, bringing events most unexpectedly

A new money Moon on Tuesday, May 7

Laser beam thinker Mercury as of Wednesday, May 15

And your seventh house covers these areas in your life:

Marriage

Close relationships

Soul mates

Best friends

Business partners

Professional partnerships

Contracts

Bitter enemies in the open

Diplomacy

Social urges

Discussions about design, beauty, harmony

Try to have confrontational discussions as calmly and rationally as you can rather than getting into an extended legal battle. I know you’ve been bearing the burdens of others for so long, but, really, it’s no excuse to hold anyone hostage to what you have been suffering.

With the Sun in your seventh house of relationships until May 20, you’ll be extra blessed in relating to others. Any efforts to communicate honestly this month will be richly rewarded.

Congratulate yourself for finishing a project or “exam” of sorts. Success is guaranteed here, and now you can full out enjoy the approach of summer. Well done.

Between now and June 4 an awesome career opportunity is presented to you and you are advised to carpe diem, seize with both hands. It is also the time to consult a new specialist, someone with whom you’ve been wanting to work, whether it’s a throat specialist, a dietician, a fertility doctor, or a physical trainer.

Find out if you require physical therapy.

You will get positive results. These will be worth it.

There’s quite a bit of pressure being a Scorpio, as you doubtless know by now. You were born to be the best. And you start with so much to do it’s not even funny. You were born with so much to do. Honest friendships, when you admit it, really help the most.

That’s a lot of pressure. Some of you have severe aches and pains. Some of you escape it through drink. Or drugs. Or sex. Some of you embrace it through meditation and abstinence. Scorpios cover all the extremes.

The pressure is also on in terms of your career and how you are regarded.

Remember this bit of wisdom from the great Nelson Mandela:

Resentment is like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die.

Survivor that you are, you know how much depends on your own actions and choices.

Watch it because you could snap over nonsensical things and then you can only wait it out, hearing others’ points of view, and just about caving in. This is a situation where you will have to cave. This is about choosing your battles. This one is not one to battle, as your namesake the scorpion does, to the death.

Now: LOVE.

Single Scorpio, with so much planetary activity going into your seventh house you’re bound to meet someone. Even acting like the hermit you are. New partnerships and contracts come into your life.

Coupled Scorpio, starting with a new Moon on Tuesday, May 7, you will experience something new in your love life. The spark is rekindled!

Single and Coupled Scorpio: that new Taurus Moon on Tuesday, May 7 affects you both. You have an emotional epiphany and a challenging personal relationship can go in a different direction. You just need to be very clear about your role – and ta-da, success.

Change is everywhere in the air. In May some of you will fall desperately in love, others of you will will have fun in a way you haven’t done in – it will feel like years.

Others of you may wish to continue the monastic life. And then May brings a rebirth of the highest order.

Thank GAWD. I was really getting upset by the suffering of Scorpios.

Beginning in June, you begin to reap the profits and the rewards.

The joy of this May, however, is that everything seems to be happening to you, and very quickly. Almost out of your control.

As much as you hate giving up control, dear Scorpio, I’d go with this. The changes are too good and the outcomes too positive for you to keep standing on the dock.

Board the ship!

As the wise adage says, ships are safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships were built for.

Although home is your main concern, it’s okay to give yourself a break now and then and get away. It’s also not a bad thing to let others call the shots, even if it makes you feel more vulnerable and not as in control.

Let yourself do this, Scorpio, and see what good can come of it!

Then, are you a lucky devil or what? Finally! Your lucky break comes.

You have given selflessly and completely. Considered another before yourself. Loved as only you know how to do.

Now you can let others take care of themselves. Let those you love be the grownups they are supposed to be.

Any eruptions or potential disasters you will be able to handle in an awesomely strong way — remember about giving and not controlling — and you will have it made.

You can handle any challenge, right? That’s what you’re famous for, and until now you’ve succeeded admirably on paths where others have feared to tread (let alone imagine.)

Prepare to have a really good financial year coming up.

Scorpios will be everywhere in the public eye. Check out the Sun signs of current newsmakers and you will see how many fellow Scorpions there are being spotlighted…

Scorpio is the most naturally secretive sign (besides Cancer), so you can be selective about what is in the spotlight. Manage your “PR” to your best benefit. I know you’ve been killing yourself working; rewards are due you.

This full Moon now is in your sign of Scorpio and in your first house. The first house rules your self, your image, and how you are perceived by the world at large. It also rules your SENSE of self, which includes your self-esteem, confidence level, and personal feeling of power.

You will be greatly empowered, which is a welcome relief from handing over your power to everyone else. Ah, what relief.

Are you ready for your private reading, dear Scorpio?
