May 16-31 2026: Heavily Aspected New & Full Moons, Mars Square Pluto

A Taurus New Moon puts special emphasis on abundance, communication, and breakthrough. And a Blue Moon on the 31st – a Sagittarius Full Moon – can help you zero in on your life purpose. We also have Mars square Pluto, a supercharged Mercury that puts the pedal to the mental, and lots of powerful Sun and Venus aspects. Vesta's outer planet aspects empower your selfless service to worthy causes. Finally, a once-in-a-lifetime conjunction of Uranus and Sedna can help you transform trauma into a breakthrough beyond your wildest dreams! Resources NEW!
