GEMINI
It can be tempting to cross through the days eagerly as we inch closer to your birthday season, Gemini. But in doing so, you’ll miss out on the wonders of your neighbor sign, Taurus. Like you, Taurus is determined, passionate, and protective over the ones they hold dear. Tap into these commonalities in the days surrounding the new moon in Taurus on May 11 as it’s a fabulous time to manifest the triumphs you’d like to see in the next lunar cycle. This month’s Gemini playlist was designed to get you moving and grooving.

CANCER
In recent months, you’ve put in the work to better understand your inner and external processes. Now the time has come to put introspection to the side, start rolling the dice, and start betting big on yourself, Cancer. Luck will be on your side, particularly around May 13, when Jupiter (the planet of luck and expansion) moves into fellow water sign Pisces. While it’s only temporarily in Pisces (Jupiter will return to Aquarius in July), this time is a preview of what’s to come in 2022. How do you want to be living next year? Now’s your time to find out. This month’s class playlist will challenge you with fierce movements and holds to help you push beyond your boundaries.

LEO
The weather is warming and there are sunny skies ahead for you, dear Leo. While last month the stars pulled your attention inward to help you better visualize your goals, this month it’s time to put your plans into action. Whether it’s starting to train for a marathon or making a change in your career, ride this wave of productivity as long as you can. You’ll be thankful you did once Mercury retrograde begins on May 29. This month, your playlist will help you build strength from the ground up.

VIRGO
As we work our way into summer, you’re feeling the urge to dust yourself off and get back out there! You’ve spent so much of 2021 learning and planning, and now you’re ready to bask in the sun. Adventure and abundance await you out in the world, but make sure you keep communication open with your loved ones leading up to the start of Mercury Retrograde on May 28 — otherwise, it’s full speed ahead. This month’s playlist is all about going big and making your wildest dreams come true.

LIBRA
You strive toward balance in your relationships, but this month isn’t one of easy solutions. Relationships started throwing you for a loop with the new moon in Taurus, and you might be processing some fresh feelings. Don’t avoid them! Make sure you’re doing the hard work of aligning your priorities and meeting important people in your life halfway. That work will pay off during the charged total lunar eclipse on May 26 — and will come in handy when Mercury goes retrograde two days later. This month’s playlist is all about digging deep into your heart and sitting with your feelings.

Scorpio
This month is a time for fresh projects and alliances, but you might find yourself hesitant to make commitments. But with expansive, optimistic Jupiter moving into fellow water sign Pisces on May 13, it’s the perfect time to dive in headfirst! But just because things are moving fast doesn’t mean you can’t set boundaries — which could come in handy during Mercury Retrograde. Remembering that you’re in control of your actions can help you fully immerse yourself in the excitement and joy ahead. This month’s playlist is all about getting lost in the movement.

Sagittarius
Your ruling planet, Jupiter, moves into Pisces on May 13, breathing some fresh new energy into your home — so it’s time to make some domestic dreams a reality, whether that’s moving in with a partner or finally setting up that home meditation space. Don’t be afraid to do some really deep spring cleaning! A full moon and full lunar eclipse in your sign on May 26 brings some bright vibes perfect for tying up all your projects with a big, flashy ribbon. This month’s playlist is full of cleansing energy.

Capricorn
Take the last days of Taurus season as a chance to slow down, Capricorn! Use this time to ask yourself what you need — and do a lot of journaling. This kind of self-reflection will help you find balance and keep organized as the universe throws some chaos your way at the end of the month: Your ruling planet, taskmaster Saturn, goes retrograde on the 23rd, followed by a lunar eclipse on the 26th and Mercury Retrograde on the 29th. This month’s playlist is all about turning inward.

Aquarius
Big things are happening for you, Aquarius! Jupiter is leaving your sign after six months and bringing its good fortune straight to the parts of your chart that rule money. Gemini season on May 20 brings some serious flirty vibes. The big lunar eclipse on the 26th will bring out some major creative energy. Embrace this abundance — you deserve it! Just make sure to take some time to pause and double-check your communication, whether it’s work emails or lingering DMs, after Mercury Retrograde starts on the 29th. This month’s playlist is about playfulness and positivity.

Pisces
You’re riding a big wave of cosmic energy, Pisces, but it’s a friendly one. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and your original ruling planet, moves into your sign on May 13 for the first time in more than a decade. It’s here to guide you through some big changes over the next couple of months — and perhaps help you manifest some long-held desires. The lunar eclipse on May 26 turns up this energy by bringing new opportunities into your life. Just don’t forget to check in with your emotions along the way (and ask for extra clarifications during Mercury Retrograde starting May 29). This month’s playlist is about opening yourself up to possibilities.

Aries
Last month, you set some intentions. Now it’s time to zoom in and make some plans, especially the boring kinds, like budgeting. Don’t worry: Gemini season is coming on the 20th, and with it a new rush of fun, social energy. But the lunar eclipse on the 26th could bring some big changes to your friendships or future plans — so take Mercury Retrograde as an opportunity to slow things down, rest, and turn off your phone once in a while. Hopefully you’ll end the month with a better sense of the year ahead. This month’s playlist is about finding your routine.
