Happy May, sexy Scorpio. Last month, with the help of messenger Mercury, you cleared up any ongoing fights or miscommunications between you and your romantic interests. This month, the planet will go retrograde, but the health continues to improve in your relationships, so don't stress, dear Scorpio. When Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and abundance, enters confident Aries on Monday, May 2, you take a break from worrying about your crushes or partners to worrying about your makeup and hair. And lean into this Scorpio, you're the sign of transformation, and you deserve a spring makeover. Explore with pastels, try a different hair color, or whatever will make you feel hot and confident.

Mercury begins its retrograde in Gemini on Tuesday, May 10. Allow extra travel time, proofread any important emails, and make time for self-soothing and relaxation. Mercury retrogrades can be stressful, and you'll be less likely to pull out your infamous stinger if you're calm rather than frustrated when your crush takes longer than usual to text you back. It's not personal; it's the planets. On this same date, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, moves into Aries. This is a transformative time for you, Scorpio, especially surrounding sex. If you're in a toxic relationship, you may walk away during this time and decide that your vibrators are better company than a mean partner. Or, if you're happy dating or in love, you see yourself becoming a more attentive partner and moving a relationship to the next level.  

Eclipses are infamous for bringing swift and sudden change, but it's always in your best interest.

Sunday, May 15, brings a full moon and lunar eclipse in your sign, Scorpio. Eclipses can be dramatic for everyone, but you might be affected more than others because this one falls in your sign. If you haven't ended a toxic relationship, even though you want to, don't be surprised if the stars go ahead and strip it away. Eclipses are infamous for bringing swift and sudden change, but it's always in your best interest. Thankfully, life becomes less stressful and more fun when playful Gemini season begins on Friday, May 20. Use the next few weeks to strut your stuff. Accept social invites, show off your new looks, and if you should find yourself newly single, get your flirt on. And if you're happy in love, you should still go out and show off how hot you are. 

When one of your ruling planets, fighter Mars, enters bold Aries on Tuesday, May 24, you rethink your approach to any professional problems at work. This may see you trying out new methods of communication (just be sure to proofread emails, remember that Mercury is still retrograde). When romantic Venus enters its home sign of Taurus on Saturday, May 28, your creative powers will be in full force. As a result, you're not only able to navigate any work-related issues that arise but come up with solutions that advance your career. In particular, keep an eye out for fresh opportunities for professional growth when the month ends with a new moon in Gemini on Monday, May 30. Enjoy, darling Scorpio, and see you next month!
