Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 4:15 PM to 7:30 PM EDT today (1:15 PM to 4:30 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Something going on behind the scenes might somehow impact your earnings or your wealth or even something that you own. Be aware of this. In particular, be aware that someone, who might be working against your best interests, might try to take something from you. Not good!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
A competition with a friend or a member of a group might have an unexpected consequence today. Or perhaps, you will encounter someone who is unusual or different in some way? Take note that whatever happens might make you suddenly change your goals.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Something unexpected might spur you in a new direction today. This is why you might feel a sudden burst of confidence or ambition to get something down or achieve a particular goal. “I’m on it!” On the other hand, plans might suddenly change.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a tricky day because in one way, you are keen to travel or do something to expand your world and experience new ideas, learn new things, and meet new people. Yes! Nevertheless, these plans might suddenly change. Travel could be cancelled or delayed. (Whaaat?)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Stay up-to-date with information related to taxes, debt, insurance matters and anything to do with the resources or wealth of your partner because something unexpected will impact these areas today. You might be caught off guard. Not good when it comes to your wealth! (You snooze, you lose.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Tread carefully today because a friend or someone close to you might suddenly do something you least expect. They might make a surprising demand? Or they might have an exciting suggestion? Alternatively, you might meet someone today who is “different.” (It’s not a boring day.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Strong feelings of independence will affect your work today. However, you might also encounter interruptions and sudden changes that affect your job today, especially related to technology and computers. Meanwhile, pet owners should be vigilant today. Check your pet.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Parents take note because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Know where they are and what they’re doing. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change today. You might receive a surprise invitation; or fun plans might be cancelled. (Groan.) Guard against sports accidents.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You have a lot of energy to make some changes at home now, probably big improvements. Nevertheless, today is an accident-prone day for you at home (or with your family). Please be aware of this. On the upside, you might suddenly decide to do something unusual to make improvements.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You are a tad aggressive in your communications with others right now because you’re excited about something and you want to share your ideas. However, today is full of unpredictable influences. Pay attention to everything you say and do to avoid accidents.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Keep an eye on your money scene today because things are unpredictable. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own from loss, theft or damage. Keep your eyes open! On the upside, moneymaking ideas might be bold and unusual!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today you are full of electric energy! This is why you feel impulsive and restless. Nevertheless, do not go off halfcocked, which is possible. Think before you act or say something so that you won’t have regrets later. Use this wild energy in a positive way.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) shares your birthday today. You like routine and security. You think things through carefully then you stick with your decision. You are caring and kind to others. You particular love beautiful things. This year will be lighthearted and more social and fun-loving! Take care of your health and focus on service to others, especially family members. Rejuvenate yourself and consider a makeover.

Planets Over Egyptian Pyramid
Image Credit & Copyright: Osama Fatehi
Explanation: The early morning planet parade continues. Visible the world over, the planets Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn have been lining up in the pre-dawn sky since mid-April. In the featured image taken last month, these planets were captured over the Step Pyramid of Djoser, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the Saqqara necropolis of Egypt, the pyramid was constructed in the 27th century BC and is one of the oldest pyramids known. The two-image composite includes a foreground image taken during evening blue hour, and a background image captured from the same location the following morning. The morning planet line-up is slowly changing. At the end of last month, planets Jupiter and Venus switched places, while at the end of this month, Jupiter and Mars will switch after passing within one-degree of each other. Of course, this picturesque planetary angular alignment is a coincidence, as all of these worlds continue to orbit the Sun as they have for billions of years, well before even the ancient Pyramid of Djoser was built.

You will benefit strongly from your interactions with a group at this time. They might promote your best interests. Or perhaps, your involvement with a group will be meaningful to you, especially if you are able to effect change that benefits others.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Something is occurring that will boost your reputation in the eyes of your peers at this time. You are admired – no question. For some, this could mean a promotion, an award or some kind of accolades from others. Whatever the case, it’s time for you to take a bow.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Travel opportunities might present themselves to you now. Others will have opportunities to explore further education or avenues in publishing, medicine and the law. You might also be attracted to a particular philosophy or a belief system or something to do with politics. (This is not a casual interest.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You are in a wonderful position to benefit from the wealth and resources of others. For example, you might learn more information about what is possible or available to you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your closest relationships are blooming now, and it’s a wonderful thing. This is a lovely influence that will promote your interactions with close friends, partners and spouses. Enjoy this blessing while it lasts. (Everything’s impermanent – even good stuff.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is a good time to improve your health or introduce reforms where you work. Wonderful job opportunities might come your way to do this, or you might get a better job or improve the conditions or parameters of your existing job. (Seneca, said, “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Relations with your kids are much improved! Likewise, opportunities in sports, the entertainment world and the hospitality industry are abundant. Meanwhile, you can enjoy social outings and fun times with others, as well as explore the arts.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
For various reasons, according to the personal details of your own life, you feel more optimistic and hopeful about your life, and especially how things will unfold in the future. The tempo of your days might be accelerating with visits, errands and short trips. This is a positive, upbeat time for you!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your ability to boost your earnings and become richer in some way is very strong right now. Look for ways to increase your income because this is possible. Some of you might explore work-related travel as well. You are definitely surrounded by opportunities!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
With Jupiter in your sign dancing with Pluto, you are empowered at this time. Whatever happens, you will see ways to improve your life and your immediate environment. This will come about in a natural, evolved way, with little effort on your part. Go figure. You might assume great power in some way.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Pom Klementieff (1986) shares your birthday today. You have strong morals and principles and you believe in fair play and justice. You are compassionate and helpful to others. You have a witty sense of humour. This is a year of change, which means stay light on your feet. Trust your intuition and expect greater personal freedom.

Spell for Today – For A Good Night’s Sleep
For a Good Night’s Sleep
Wynken, Blynken and Nod sail away,
Bringing me rest at the end of the day.
I close my eyes, then sweet dreams will come.
Sleep through the night, to slumber I succumb.

Mercury’s Sodium Tail
Image Credit & Copyright: Sebastian Voltmer
Explanation: That’s no comet. Below the Pleiades star cluster is actually a planet: Mercury. Long exposures of our Solar System’s innermost planet may reveal something unexpected: a tail. Mercury‘s thin atmosphere contains small amounts of sodium that glow when excited by light from the Sun. Sunlight also liberates these molecules from Mercury’s surface and pushes them away. The yellow glow from sodium, in particular, is relatively bright. Pictured, Mercury and its sodium tail are visible in a deep image taken last week from La Palma, Spain through a filter that primarily transmits yellow light emitted by sodium. First predicted in the 1980s, Mercury’s tail was first discovered in 2001. Many tail details were revealed in multiple observations by NASA‘s robotic MESSENGER spacecraft that orbited Mercury between 2011 and 2015. Tails, of course, are usually associated with comets.

Pluto and Mercury will be the only retrograde planets in May 2022
The end of a month doesn’t necessarily mean the end of a retrograde cycle. The planetary retrogrades that began in April 2022 prove it, considering there was only one and it began at practically the tail end of the month, and will continue through the summer and even part of the fall months. That means you’re guaranteed to find at least one retrograde planet in the month of May 2022, and I’m telling you right now, there’s more where that came from.
How Many Planets Will Be Retrograde During May 2022?
There will actually be two planetary retrogrades in May: Pluto retrograde, which began on April 29, and the infamous Mercury retrograde, which isn’t too far behind. But, while the term “retrograde” can cause plenty of distress — i.e. flashbacks to disagreements or falling-outs among loved ones — the reality is that retrogrades are far more common than you may realize. Take Mercury retrograde, for example — this event typically happens about three times every year (though, in 2022, there will be four Mercury retrograde cycles), and you’ve survived them each and every time, so there’s nothing to be afraid of. Think of all the mishaps you experience during those seasons as minor inconveniences.
What To Expect From The May 2022 Retrograde Planets
Pluto Retrograde (April 29 to Oct. 8)
Pluto retrogrades — like the one you’re experiencing right now — are less noticeable than Mercury retrogrades, but they do signify a period of review, so you should still pay attention. My advice: Take a look at the house in your birth chart Pluto’s currently transiting in, which is currently the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn, and revise. Pluto stations retrograde annually for about six months, so it typically takes a bit longer to know how the retrograde will affect you.
Mercury retrograde, on the other hand, lasts about three weeks, making the effects much more acute during that period — and sometimes even before and/or after the planet actually stations, known as the shadow phase.
Mercury Retrograde (May 10 to June 3)
Starting off in the mutable air sign of Gemini and ending in the fixed earth sign of Taurus, Mercury will be inclined to bring active thoughts and ideas down to Earth during this period. During the first half of the retrograde, Mercury will be incredibly supported in Gemini, since this is a sign all about mental stimulation and communication. But retrograde, you will likely notice a difficulty effectively sharing and implementing these ideas until Mercury steps back into the stable sign of Taurus on May 22. By this time, the ideas that you’ve come up with during the retrograde will be solidified and secured, so it’ll be important to make as many necessary changes and adjustments to your endeavors before Mercury’s less willing to budge in Taurus. Taurus is definitely a sign that likes to maintain things, so you’ll likely notice things really start to slow down once Mercury makes its way back into this sign.
During this retrograde, it’ll be important to consider where Taurus and Gemini fall in your birth chart, since these are the two astrological houses that will be experiencing the action as Mercury moves back and forth between these signs. These houses will be prone to revisions and reorganizations from May 10 until June 3, so if things feel a bit scattered here during this time, you can be sure to blame it on the stars — especially if you have planets in these two signs.

May 2022 Moon Details
The Full Moon for this month will occur in the second week on Monday, May 16th. The New Moon will happen later in May on Monday, May 30th.
May’s Full Flower Moon
May is most notable for being the turning point in the year where temperatures rise and a vast variety of flowers come into full bloom, letting the world break out into a riot of color. As such, May’s full moon has come to be known as the Full Flower Moon. The Anishnaabe tribe also called it the Blossom Moon. In Northern America, you can expect to see flowers such as bluebells, sundrops, violets, and so on, as well as lush greenery to go with the blossoms. The Apache and Lakota peoples named May’s full moon the Green Leaves Moon, while the Mohawk tribe called it the Big Leaf Moon. But there is one specific plant that’s very important during the May season – and it is, in fact, not a flower.
This plant is corn, an important staple food for Northern American peoples. According to the Algonquin tribes, May’s full moon is the Corn Planting Moon. For Native American tribes, this is the perfect time for them to start preparing the fields for farming and sowing the seeds saved up from last year. Appropriately, the Abenaki culture refers to May’s full moon as the Field Maker Moon, while the Haida tribe calls it the Food Gathering Moon. Apart from corn, other foods such as beans, squash, and potatoes are planted during this time. The Cherokee tribe called May’s full moon the Anisguti Moon, or the Planting Moon, and would traditionally perform a Corn Dance during this period to encourage a fruitful corn harvest.
Due to the rising temperatures, the Full Flower Moon is also a time of heightened fertility. This is a good time for women to bear children in a warm, safe environment that would increase the chance of their survival. That’s why May’s full moon is also named Mother’s Moon, or Milk Moon, which could refer to breastfeeding or to the milking of cows. The latter interpretation is based off the Old English name Rimilcemona, or the Month of Three Milkings, referring to how this was a period where cows could be milked up to three times daily.
In other parts of the world, the Full Flower Moon is better known as Vesak or Buddha Day, the most significant celebration for Buddhists all around the world. On the first full moon of May, Buddhists commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha. Devout practitioners are encouraged to renew their intention to adhere to sacred Buddhist principles, as well as refrain from all forms of killing and violence, including eating meat. Celebrations include giving charity to the poor, disabled, and otherwise marginalized groups in society. Depending on your location, you may witness the spectacular practice of releasing thousands of caged birds into the air as a symbolic gesture of liberation, though this tradition is illegal in countries such as Singapore because it may cause harm to local ecosystems.
Pagans, on the other hand, associate the Full Flower Moon with the element of fire, and thus often celebrate it by lighting bonfires and engaging in other magical fire rituals to bring prosperity. Powerful colors for the Full Flower Moon include fiery colors like red, yellow, and orange. This is a good time to tend your garden and let the seeds you’ve planted blossom – both literally and metaphorically. Cultivate your passions and desires, encourage them to burst forth into bloom, and you will be rewarded with abundance in various forms in your life.

Observing the planets in May 2022
Our month-by-month guide to locating the planets throughout 2022.
Finding and observing the planets of the Solar System in the night sky isn’t as tricky as you think. You just need to know where to look.
When a planet is in a particularly favourable position in the evening or morning sky, it will look like a bright ‘star’, the most obvious point of light visible to the naked eye.
The other thing about spotting the planets in the night sky is that they can also be found along the ecliptic, which is the imaginary line that the Sun appears to traverse in the sky over the course of a day.
Since the major planets of the Solar System orbit the Sun in about the same plane, the ecliptic also marks the path of the planets.
Is it bright, but on the wrong side of the sky to the ecliptic? Then it’s not a planet.
For more advice, read our guide on how to find planets in the night sky.
Once you’ve got to grips with this, all you need to know is what planets will be visible in the night each month, so you know what to look out for, and what dates they will be best placed.
This is where our guide below comes in. Use it throughout the coming 12 months to find out which planets are visible in the night sky in 2022, which are at opposition, and to keep track of any interesting upcoming conjunctions.
Check our Astronomy Advice section throughout the year for more up-to-date stargazing tips, and sign up to the BBC Sky at Night Magazine e-newsletter for lunar phases and monthly astronomy highlights delivered direct to your email inbox.
You can also listen to our Star Diary podcast each month for even more advice on what to see in the night sky.
