May 2023 Horoscopes: April Showers Bring May Flowers
If you’re into astrology, you’ll know that we have had quite a bit of a month throughout April. Not only did we just deal with a solar eclipse in Aries, but, April 21st kicked off Mercury Retrograde. It’s not over yet though – we have an upcoming lunar eclipse in Scorpio (yikes!).
But, fear not, Dil Mil fam! We have good things in store for us. For one, May 20th marks the end of Taurus season, and the beginning of Gemini season – bonus points for the fact that it is also Dil Mil’s birthday the same day! (Of course, we are a cusper hahah). What does this action packed month mean for you (and will it ever end?!?!?) Find out below!
Aries
You’ve been putting in the work last month, dear Aries, to better yourself, to better your life, and to evolve. You’ll be happy to know that May (and Taurus season) bring a grounding energy that will make you feel safe enough to start releasing some bad habits, internalised behaviours, and unconscious biases. This is a great time to re-evaluate your dating checklist. Do your values still match what you’re looking for in a relationship? Honesty is your friend this month and you’ll find yourself in situations where people will be attracted to you because of it. At the same time, be sure not to be sharing too many secrets with your bff or your new boo – take it steady, and keep a balanced mind, body and soul.
Taurus
Happy birthday, beautiful Taurus! This month, you’re driven and you’re focussed. You’re self-actualising and consciously integrating things you’re learning in your everyday life in your own psyche. Lucky for you, the lunar eclipse in Scorpio is your opposite sign – this means that although the eclipse tends to be harsh, it’s going to unlock new levels of self-discovery, specifically around partnerships. So, if you’re in a situationship, or don’t know where it’s going with the cutie you’re talking to right now, know that it’s okay to be uncertain or if things end, or even, if you decide to take things to the next level – you’re allowing yourself to align with what’s really meant for you. Talk about a beautiful destiny!
Gemini
Oh Gemini, you’ve been going through it. Not only does your season start at the end of the month, but this eclipse has been well, NOT it. The lunar eclipse may be particularly harsh for you, however, stay bundled up and hopeful because as soon as its over, you’ll find yourself wanting deeper experiences. This includes your dating life – so if you’ve been fleeting, noncommittal or just unsure, you’ll find yourself in the moods and mindsets of a classic Yash Raj Films protagonist. Don’t be surprised if you finally find the Veer to your Zaara (and vice versa). Just know that you deserve all the love that comes your way.
Cancer
Your dating life is straight up GLOWING this month, dear Cancer. If you’ve felt things have been slow and dry in the DMs or on the dating apps (or real life), chances are you will be feeling the complete opposite this month. People are magnetised and attracted to you – you’ll also be mirroring this with a lot of romantic moods and vibes. Our advice to you this month is to act on them. You’re ever the romantic and you deserve nothing less than a partner who can appreciate all the love you wanna pour into them, and then some. When you do find someone, we recommend you take them for a dinner on the water or a dance class – let yourself love to love!
Leo
You’re going to be following your heart when it comes to all matters and sectors of your life this month, dearest Leo. If you feel inclined to go inward and become a bit more private, don’t worry. You’re just aligning yourself with what you want. Expect yourself to pour your energy into domestic affairs and your career. We recommend that you take a cute little cooking or pottery class this month (better yet, make it an even cuter date with someone you met with and vibe with online) because chances are, you’re all about emotional intimacy and domestic bliss.
Virgo
You’re always switching it up every month, Virgo. This month, of course, is no different! With all the transformational change happening in fellow earth sign, Taurus, you’ll find yourself attracted to exactly that – outdoor adventure. You’re setting yourself up for a year-long journey of finding yourself through various acts, experiences, and transformations rooted in groundedness. So, if you’re one of those folks who gets the ick from a match who is interested in or takes hiking dates way too seriously – think about it a little harder. This may just be the right kind of date for you!
Libra
Eclipse season is going to be a little harder for you, Libra. If you enjoy gossip, it may be time for you to take a step back and see how you can avoid sharing secrets or telling stories that are not yours to share. You’ll still find yourself enjoying the chattiness and liveliness of the season – so be sure to indulge yourself in new hobbies and experiences where you’ll get to meet a vast array of different people. Keep your head up if things feel a little off though – you have all the power within you to ensure that you remain level headed this month.
Scorpio
Ohhhhh Scorpio. Dear, sweet Scorpio. This lunar eclipse is all about transformation for you – just like every other part of your life, but in a way that is so much more intense than usual. We totally empathise with you if you feel like spending the first half of the month indoors, under your covers and watching Netflix. Do we encourage you to do so though? Not necessarily. This is a great time for you to face your fears and do what you do best – dive deep into your shadow, purge and release. Not only will this benefit you in the long-term, but it will also help you release any negative or limiting beliefs you have about yourself. You deserve a beautiful life and you have a beautiful destiny ahead of you to look forward to.
Sagittarius
This month is going to be all about how you can be of service to others, Sagittarius. Lucky for you, you’re a naturally bright and giving personality. This month will find you buzzing from one situation to another, always ready to lend a helping hand. Just be careful not to over-give. It is just as important to fill your own cup to give longevity to your philanthropic ventures. This month, you’ll also be more inclined to do some self-care. So, be sure to take your new boo or your next match to the spa, to a yoga class, or anything else you feel will contribute to nourishing and investing in yourself.
Capricorn
Taurus season is a sensual one, and so are you, Capricorn. This month, you’ll somehow find yourself taking things, your life, and yourself a lot less seriously. You’ll actually be finding yourself having conventional fun instead of making your responsibilities fun as per usual. You’re allowed to break free from all of the responsibilities and things that weigh you down once in a while, and you’ll find that this month, you’ll be doing a lot more of that. Be sure to keep an eye out for unsupportive friends – you don’t need people who don’t see your value around because you’re dope and deserve for love and friendship to be reciprocated.
Aquarius
This month, you’ll be putting on all your favourite 90s Bollywood movies, sweet Aquarius. Nostalgia and your childhood are big themes for you this month. You’ll find yourself wanting to nurture and love the parts of you that have been forgotten or lost or left in your youth. However this looks like,you have plenty of young Salman, Sanjay and Shah Rukh content to keep you busy as you reconnect with this part of yourself. Just remember to stay grounded through it all, and just so you know – major brownie points for you if you can harness all of this energy to create a cute little Bollywood and pillow fortress night as a date with your boo.
Pisces
You’re somehow thriving during the lunar eclipse, Pisces. Not only are you looking at new freshness and renewed perspective – but the rose coloured glasses that you classically see life through are returning, and fast. This month, you’ll be falling in love with life again. Not only so, but you’re also expected to really attract plenty of new love. Not only will you have options, but you’ll also be finding yourself in alignment with what you really desire. Lucky for you, the grounding energy of Taurus season and the upcoming Gemini season (rationality) allow you an anchor to think rationally and stay grounded to balance out all of them feels.
Good luck in love this month and we’ll see you in June, Dil Mil fam!
