A global energy crisis is unfolding, and the astrology of May 2026 suggests the pressure around oil, war, markets, AI, food prices, financial instability and political control may be far from over.
In this May 2026 astrology forecast, Astrologer Dan Waites looks at the major planetary alignments shaping the month ahead, including the Scorpio Full Moon on May 1, Pluto stationing retrograde in Aquarius on May 6, Mars square Jupiter on May 5, the Taurus New Moon on May 16, Mercury entering Gemini on May 17, Mars entering Taurus on May 18, Mars square Pluto on May 26, and the Sagittarius Full Moon on May 31.
Before moving into May, Dan looks back at the explosive astrology of April 2026, including the US-Iran ceasefire, Donald Trump’s threat against Iran, attacks on oil refineries and pipelines around the world, rising oil and gas prices, possible energy restrictions, NASA’s Artemis 2 mission, remote viewing predictions, and the alleged April 25 assassination attempt involving President Trump.
May begins with a powerful Scorpio Full Moon, pointing toward revelations, secrets, finance, tax, investments, psychology, desire and deep human connection. This lunation activates Iran and Russia, raising questions around oil, trade, security deals, the Straits of Hormuz, and the wider consequences of the energy crisis.
Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius on May 6, bringing the themes of AI, technocracy, Zionism, war, financial transformation, digital control systems and collective power struggles into sharper focus. In the members-only bonus section, Dan examines every Pluto station since Pluto first entered Aquarius in 2023, exploring what these stations reveal about artificial intelligence, Israel, Gaza, TikTok, banking instability, protest movements, the Epstein files and global power.
Mars square Jupiter on May 5 may inflame protests, fuel price anger, religious or ideological conflict, and “crusader” energy. With the UK, Ireland and the April 2024 solar eclipse degree implicated, this aspect could reactivate themes connected to Iran, Israel, Palestine, campus protests, fuel prices and public unrest.
The Taurus New Moon on May 16 brings the focus to money, food, land, property, agriculture, resources, hunger, food prices and practical planning for leaner times. With Saturn involved and the New Moon close to Algol, it could bring new rules, restrictions or difficult news connected to food supply, energy use, housing, land, money or material security.
The second half of May brings major Gemini activations as Mercury enters Gemini, the Sun enters Gemini, and both connect with Uranus in Gemini. This points to sudden news, breakthroughs, revelations, discoveries, new technologies, communications shocks, intellectual awakenings, and surprising developments connected to Egypt, the Giza Plateau, the possible discovery of a second Sphinx, UFOs, ancient knowledge and secret science.
Mars enters Taurus on May 18 and squares Pluto on May 26, highlighting conflict, pressure, organized crime, intelligence agencies, Russia, military escalation, technological warfare and power struggles behind the scenes. The month closes with a Sagittarius Full Moon on May 31, bringing themes of truth, faith, international relations, law, education, publishing, ancient wisdom, spiritual revelation and the bridge between the February-March eclipse season and the coming August 2026 eclipses.
This is a major month in the astrology of 2026, connecting the global energy crisis, the Iran war, oil shocks, AI infrastructure, Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini, Epstein, ancient Egypt, the Fourth Turning, and the wider spiritual battle shaping the years ahead.
