Gemini season begins May 21, bringing fresh communication, social movement, new ideas, travel urges, and mental momentum after the slower, heavier pace of Taurus season.

The Taurus New Moon on May 16 is one of the strongest manifestation windows of the spring, but only for goals rooted in stability, income, health, beauty, and long-term security.

Mercury cazimi in Taurus arrives May 14 with a rare flash of mental clarity around money, contracts, communication, and long-term plans. This is one of May’s best days for decisions that require calm logic.

May 2026 contains two full moons, making it one of the strongest lunar months of the year for ritual timing. Here is exactly what to manifest, release, cleanse, and cast during each moon phase.

May begins under the intense Full Flower Moon in Scorpio, a lunation designed less for comfort than for truth. Hidden emotions, buried resentment, power imbalances, and delayed endings rise to the surface demanding release.

Explore the meaning of the Spring Equinox through global traditions, cultural rituals, and a grounding post-equinox ritual to anchor growth, renewal, and intention.
