May opens the window to a fresh breeze of social, sensual energy, with Venus fluttering into the sign of lively Gemini this month.

Aries
The sextile of Venus and Neptune shines a rosy light on Aries’ relationships in May. If you’re coupled up, ride the surge of fresh feelings and spend more quality time with your partner this month. Singles might find it rewarding to mingle with new experiences – the new moon in Taurus occurs mid-May and boosts your personal growth, from career prospects to uncharted adventures.
Astrological Adventure: Whether it’s cosy couple time or fresh pursuits you’re after, Carlton Hotel Singapore‘s range of packages (from S$365) have you covered.

Cancer
The tumultuous influence of Mars – the planet of war and passion – shadows Cancer.

You might feel inspired to Marie Kondo your home, do some deep cleaning, or spruce up your workspace – in short, anything which gets you feeling more organized. You run the risk of being too harsh on yourself and others, so don’t forget to stay open to other perspectives and even ‘distracting’ hobbies.
Astrological Adventure: Here’s a fun outlet that’ll satisfy your busy-bee cleaning impulses too – a Cold Process Soap Making Workshop by vegan soapmaker RdytoGlow (S$118).

Pisces
Jupiter moves into Pisces from mid-May, ushering in a period of success and growth. Though naturally a sign that’s slow to warm up to others, you might find your powers of self-expression blooming during this time – and your career progress and investments look favourable too. It isn’t a time to sink into past regrets, though these may be stirred up around the full moon – focus instead on continuing to move forward.
