Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope

May 2026 is about Taurus weather. The Sun in Taurus is opposite the Moon on May 1^st, 2026. Mercury enters on May 3^rd, 2026. Mars enters on May 18^th, 2026. There is a New Moon on May 16^th, 2026. Ceres in Taurus dominates just before. May is also about Gemini weather. Mercury enters on May 18^th, 2026. The Sun on May 21^st, 2026. Ceres on May 28^th, 2026. Uranus has been in Gemini since late April. The two stories in May which dominate are your Sixth (wellbeing, workload) and your Seventh (partners, opponents).

Partners and Opponents

Destiny will shackle you now. It will either pull you into a close one-on-one game with someone you’re already involved with or it will present you with a new player whose goals are the same as yours (or at least compatible). And that would be freedom! With luck, though, the next few weeks won’t feel like some bizarre sack race, and you won’t feel as if your ankles are too uncomfortably tied. Instead, there’ll be a chance to cooperate, trust, grow and learn. Together, you and this all-important person will do more than you ever could alone.

If you are naturally independent or prefer to take the lead, this cycle will be very welcome. In fact, every time you forget that you are actually supposed to be working as one half of a freedom team, you will create issues – both for yourself and the other person. The partnership is probably personal but may be professional or platonic. Forget the ‘Me’ part of the equation if you can. The more you can think in terms of ‘We,’ the farther and faster you will progress. Locate the common ground (about space and independence) between you and use that to navigate if you can.

The exception to the rule is the dramatic change to or end of a partnership which trapped you. It may also have trapped him or her. In this case, as you have seen since late April, the revolution is here and with it a break with the past. And this may be your former wife and current wife too. A pair. The issue is the face on the other end of the scales. Who is it? This person and you can no longer function as you did if the past represents ongoing restriction.

We may be talking about your husband or wife here, a girlfriend or even someone whose only connection to you is through business partnership. The nature of the relationship in all these cases is the same though. It’s about cooperation and understanding, giving and taking. If both of you put the effort in now, you can create a quite extraordinary bond if there is mutual appreciation of the need to be free agents. And if not? Uranus in the Seventh is notorious for break-ups.

Everything depends on how sensitive you are to the other person’s wants and needs and how good your people skills are. Astrology can be useful at such a time – do you know the other person’s Sun Sign? It describes what he or she is best-known for (for better or worse). It says a lot about what’s really important to the other person. So, if you can do a little light homework on this using your favourite astrology book, you’ll be well ahead. Of course, you may know this man or woman so intimately that you’re aware of their Moon Sign, Ascendant, mother’s maiden name, first pet and secret birthmark. But even if you’ve been together forever, this cycle can still make or break your situation if Uranus in the Seventh picks up any kind of entrapment.

You need to be Torvill and Dean now. Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders. Think of every double act you’ve ever admired and note the way in which two seemingly different people managed to raise the art of give and take and tons of space to an art form. You are capable of amazing things in the name of mutual freedom now. But your greatest achievement may well be walking away if that pair bond you two had was never going to be right for 2026/2027 and beyond.

Taurus Weather in the Sixth

Duty and service matter, but your ultimate duty has to be to your best physical and mental health. Sagittarius, on a work, university/college or unpaid work level, this transit will remind you that you need each other on the most basic level to make progress now. But, as you’ll see over the next few weeks, that’s not enough. What is now required is a combination of strength, sensitivity, telepathic understanding and clear communication. This leads to an epic compromise or bargaining agreement. A trade-off.

It’s amazing how Ceres teaches us about cooperation in this cycle. Put yourself in their shoes. Are they wearing hiking boots, stiletto heels or old trainers? Look at where you stand in relation to them. What do you need to do to go forward together in this big rethink about your daily routine, lifestyle, work ethic, sense of duty and so on? The hierarchy is writ large.

If there is an extreme need for time off or even departure, then it may be that your health will necessitate that. It happens. Far more common is a division of power and control at work. Find what draws you together, not what separates you. Locate the middle ground between you and stand together at its centre if you can. The emotions will run deep as they always do on a Ceres cycle. You’ll either make it through now or you’ll really slow down your own progress. So much depends on how well you’re reading each other and how cleverly you’re making allowances. There must be a 50-50 split, perhaps, or maybe 30-30-30.
