The May 2024 Full Moon will rise in the sky on May 23, and as the last full moon of spring, it will allow you to reconnect with your highest desires before summer arrives. This new moon is filled with a sense of richness and adventure, blooming in the wild, free-spirited fire sign of Sagittarius, encouraging everyone to broaden their horizons and find the rainbow beyond the storm clouds. Regardless of your birth chart, this is a powerful time to chase your dreams, but for some lucky signs, this may be the most important Moon moment of the year.
At this new moon, the Sun will have just entered Gemini, kicking off Gemini Season 2024—which is often a time to embrace your social butterfly tendencies and stay connected to the present moment. However, with May's full moon rising on the other side of the zodiac, in worldly yet philosophical Sagittarius, you'll want to step away from all the daily distractions and get a bird's eye view of your big goals. This is an excellent time to follow your excitement and trust the Universe to help you put things into place.
Additionally, a special cosmic event occurs on the same day as the full moon: the annual Jupiter-Venus conjunction. Lucky Jupiter and romantic Venus are known as the two "beneficial planets" in traditional astrology because they both tend to bring positivity and blessings to everything they come into contact with. This particular auspicious combination is especially rich because not only does it occur in the final degree of lush earth sign Taurus, but it's also backed by a sweet connection from dreamy Neptune. This means that, in addition to the magic of adventure and openness that a full moon brings, you'll be tapping into the rich and luxurious energy of this sparkling planetary conjunction. Expect great opportunities in romance, money, and creativity, and let your fantasies run free.
All signs should look forward to this exciting new moon, but the two signs most affected by the May full moon have more magic to work with.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
May's Full Moon rises in your deep and mysterious eighth house, bringing hidden desires to the surface and helping you embrace parts of yourself you were previously afraid to show to the world. But what makes this new moon particularly powerful for Taurus is that it forms an opposition to abundant Jupiter and love planet Venus, both of which are currently aligned in the final sign of your zodiac, bringing a new moon together. Performance opportunities culminate throughout the year.
Two days after the full moon, Jupiter will end its year-long stay in your sign, and it won't be back here for more than a decade — so this is your chance to capitalize on all your goals, hopes, and desires over the past year. Here, these accumulate in your life. What makes this manifestation moment even more powerful is that lucky Jupiter is currently conjunct luxurious Venus (your ruler). This makes it easier to attract romance, money, and new opportunities. Make the most of the magic.
Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)
On May 23, the annual Full Moon will appear in your sign, so naturally, you'll feel its effects more strongly than other signs of the zodiac. This moon phase is one of the best times of the year to dive headfirst into your goals and embrace new adventures, so be spontaneous and seize any opportunity that presents itself. The Moon is supported by transformative planet Pluto, giving you sharp focus as you pursue what you want.
Additionally, your ruler Jupiter is currently snuggling up with lush and romantic Venus in your chart's productivity sector, bringing plenty of good fortune to everything from work relationships to money matters. As a Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, you will feel the blessings of the Jupiter-Venus conjunction in a big way, and you can use this burst of cosmic magic to attract new career opportunities or make significant progress toward your personal goals. The universe is moving you toward success fast, so jump on board and take advantage of the abundant energy of the full moon.
