Astrologer and Mystical Messages host Hilary breaks down the planetary activity for May 2026. This month, our focus is on our resources, both tangible and intangible: our financial resources, kitchen table concerns, as well as how we use our time, skills and direct our energy.

The outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are helpfully aligning, assisting our efforts to creatively make ends meet. With Uranus now in Gemini, watch for new frontiers of connection, communication, idea and information exchange. Hit the pause button around May 13-14th. This stretch is especially volatile with the Moon joining Mars, Neptune and Saturn in Aries, making us impatient and ready for a fight.

The New Moon in Taurus on May 16th brings much needed calm and re-directs our attention to the Bottom Line of our lives. Remember to keep your eye on what really matters to you as the Sun joins Mercury and Uranus in Gemini on May 21st, challenging the lunar nodes.

The power of persuasion peaks through the end of the month; watch how and to whom you commit your precious time and resources, that you are not talked into something that does not serve you in the long run.
