Once in a Blue Moon: Suzy Woo’s Astrology Forecast for May’s Rare Full Moon
Suzy Woo breaks down the rare Sagittarius Blue Moon, highlighting cosmic shifts, emotional healing, spiritual growth, and what each zodiac sign can expect in the weeks ahead.
Greetings friends! What a period we are in! We have several points of pressure going on in the celestial sky over the coming week, but also a big dose of deep truth, new energy to make positive change, and we cap off May with a second full moon, known as a blue moon.
Feisty and fiery Mars has just entered the fixed earth sign of Taurus. Watch your temperament. I’d like to offer, “Be slow to anger and quick to forgive.” On the positive side, this can boost your focus for longer periods. Use this energy to your advantage by prioritizing your projects and buckle down, get to work and allow no interruptions. This is the best time to see something all the way through, especially if you are easily distracted. This will last for over a month.
Venus has now joined Jupiter in the sign of emotional, family-oriented Cancer, bringing a deepening to what home, safety, and family mean for you.
The full moon perfects the morning of May 31 at 9 degrees Sagittarius, shining the light on what is true for us. Where can we learn from people who are not like us, who are beyond our neighborhood? This full moon will highlight law, legal decisions, other cultures, learning and teaching, growing and spiritual development, as well as air/long distance travel.
Personally, this full moon asks us to reflect on our life trajectory in regards to our divine purpose. Do you know who you are and why you’re here? Have you stopped to think about this? Sagittarius energy, amplified by the full moon, asks us to be open and honest, blunt and direct with ourselves, and make a promise to re-establish that inner connection for our soul’s growth. Sagittarius loves storytelling and humor! Have you lost your sense of humor lately? Maybe take in a comedy, get outdoors, connect with nature, go on an adventure - all ways to work with these energies. Let’s pull it apart and see how it may impact you!
ARIES SUN OR RISING: You likely experienced a conflict, confrontation, or even an accident and are being invited to go deeper and understand what this is trying to help you understand. The full moon is helping you to honor yourself, laugh if off instead of coming out swinging, and let people be who they are. You don’t need to be active in every available battle. Spare yourself frustration and burning your energy by being more selective on who you need to prove wrong. Is it really that important? And if so, why?
TAURUS SUN OR RISING: The Venus/Jupiter paring in Cancer is highly supportive of you at this time. It’s a wonderful time to let those you love know it. Express what needs to be expressed in a way that feels safe for you. Mars in your sign helps you push through tough situations and come out shining, even though you may be a little nervous. You’ll feel all the better for speaking your peace and saying what you’d been feeling, even if it takes the form of constructive criticism. Lean into who you consider family. It would be a great time for reconnecting with those who help you feel supported, for a change, since it is often you who bears all the weight on your shoulders.
GEMINI SUN OR RISING: You know when you see a marathon, all the runners seem to be in this big huddle - until some start to gain speed and separate from the crowd? This is you now. You are coming into a brilliant time for being noticed, seen, encouraged, and recognized, especially in career. In fact, you’re getting a blast of nitrous oxide to really propel you front and center, so be sure you are not taking shortcuts. Ensure you are on the up and up so that when the limelight shines on you, there’s no egg on your face. The full moon lights up the truth - be sure you do what you need to so that you have a nice, clean slate. You may very well be on your way to several wins!
CANCER SUN OR RISING: With Venus now in your sign, you may have a strong desire to upgrade or otherwise beautify your appearance, your home, your car, etc. You may get a sudden sweet tooth or particular food cravings. There’s no harm in treating yourself; just be careful it doesn’t become regular or you run the risk of an expanding waist line. Jupiter expands where it transits and being in your sign, which it loves, it can open you up to too many multi-course meals, comfort eating, emotional eating, etc. You’ll snap out of it at the end of June when Jupiter moves into Leo. For now, hold your family close, cry out what you must, and get ready for a great summer.
LEO SUN OR RISING: With Pluto and Uranus forming a healthy conversation in the air, this fans your flames. Your energy is amped up and you may gain sudden recognition or be thrust in the spotlight. The full moon is in fellow fire sign Sagittarius and will help you to reflect on the work you put in to finally lead to this recognition or honorable mention. Be sure you are connected to your ‘WHY’ so you can hold your position. It is your contribution that matters most at this time, what you bring to the collective. Everything speeds up now - be ready.
VIRGO SUN OR RISING: Venus/Jupiter in Cancer wants you to stop being so hard on yourself and realize how much light you bring to others. You are sweet and helpful, yet misunderstood and even lonely amongst a circle of friends. It’s up to you to express yourself, help other people understand what you feel. This full moon wants you to tell the truth about what you’re keeping inside so that those who do love you can better show up for you and be supportive. Let reciprocity happen and please know, you are not a burden, you are loved!
LIBRA SUN OR RISING: Things are amplifying and speeding up for you, and you will be getting a big boost of support and fresh accelerated energy to launch or start a project. It’s important that you don’t let anyone rain on your parade. Now is the time to move through any animosity and ‘just do it.’ You’ll have more energy than usual, so use it to your advantage. You may feel resentment for what was, or who is not there for you, but don’t let it stop you. Time moves forward no matter what. Be on your game - now is your time!
SCORPIO SUN OR RISING: This is the perfect time to reflect, make up your mind, and purge. It is a final push of releasing so that you can adjust your sails and get back in the saddle. With Mars opposing your sign and you two rulers squaring one another, you are under pressure to make conscious choices. You will be victorious! Having Venus/Jupiter in fellow water sign Cancer will bring some fun and possible romance into the scene - enjoy it!
SAGITTARIUS SUN OR RISING: The full moon is lighting YOU up. Are you being honest with yourself about what you want to do, who you want to do it with, and where? Are you living your purpose or are you waiting for the audience to follow? It’s time to get very clear about what you are on your soapbox about, and give people permission to be and believe how they choose. You may lose some followers and that’s fine. The year ahead will amplify your popularity as long as you are transparent and honest.
CAPRICORN SUN OR RISING: Jupiter has been opposing you for nearly a year and things have been sluggish or even counterproductive regarding home, family, or real estate. The wheel of fortune will be turning for the whole next year and you’ll be out of the funk. With Venus there for a few weeks, this can bring a new spark to relationships, bring more clients, or additional revenue streams. Capitalize!
AQUARIUS SUN OR RISING: It’s been feeling a little Darth Vader-like with Pluto in your sign, this is never an easy transit because Pluto will uproot everything that is not in alignment for your highest good. The full moon will likely show some people out the door, and you may take on an additional interest for mental exercise. You’ll be ready to launch a project of significance over the whole next year, and you’ll have your day in the sun!
PISCES SUN OR RISING: Venus/Jupiter want you to dream even bigger, and to have a family gathering - with those that YOU consider family. Connect, laugh and cry, dance and sing, and feel better. New ways of understanding information can now bring wisdom. Your personal creativity is highlighted - your magical spark. Bring it! We need it and love it!
