This Is The 1 Day In May When Every Zodiac Sign Will Thrive
The stabilizing, grounding energy of Taurus season has proven to be so productive, it's likely got you feeling like your year is moving in the right direction. The weather's warmer, days are longer, and you've had time to prioritize your personal relationships, creative endeavors, and any passion projects you've started. Sticking with things isn't always easy, especially since immediate results aren't always apparent — but Taurus season is encouraging patience because the fruits of your labor are on their way. The best day in May 2021 for each zodiac sign to really utilize this fixed energy will be May 8, as it'll promise that what you've been striving to obtain will finally reach its peak.
Before the sun moves into Gemini on May 20, Venus in Taurus and Jupiter in Aquarius will be squaring off on May 8, fusing their benefic significations in order to provide you with abundant, enjoyable energy. The square aspect is commonly known as a tense aspect in astrology, but when two benefic planets are involved, it prompts tension that is pleasant, positive, and essential for growth. As Venus — planet of unity, relationships, and creativity — and Jupiter — planet of growth, abundance, and optimism — come together, you'll likely feel prompted to overindulge a bit, specifically in the area of your birth chart that contains Taurus and Aquarius. Since you've been working hard during Taurus season to get some necessary roots planted, this is a perfect time to connect with loved ones to celebrate your accomplishments.
Each zodiac sign will be experiencing the energy of this transit in different ways on May 8, so if you're looking to be enlightened, look no further.
Aries: Networking Opportunities Will Finally Start To Pay Off
2021 has been a year all about your friends, connections, and online presence, and you've really begun to understand the importance of joining forces with other likeminded individuals, instead of always venturing out on your own. The growth that's taken place pertaining to your social dynamics will start to pay off on May 8, as Venus in Taurus travels through your second house of money and possessions, and squares Jupiter in Aquarius in your 11th house of friends. Financial benefits through your connections are likely, but be sure to be mindful of your spending. This energy may prompt you to overindulge, so be sure to set some healthy boundaries.
