Summary

A deep dive into the astrology forecast for May 2026, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first hour talking about the astrology behind news and events that happened since our last forecast, and then in the second hour we get into the astrology of May. The month opens with a peace-shattering Mars-Jupiter square around May 4. At the same time there is a very intense Pluto station on May 6, which highlights themes of power and control, but will also mark an important turning point with respect to ongoing technological and social transformations over the past few years. Speaking of technological transformations, in the middle of the month a newly ingressed Uranus into Gemini will make its first conjunctions with Mercury and the Sun in Gemini, which will initiate and accelerate new technological advancements in communications and transportation, while also promising some unexpected disruptions and surprises. The middle of the month also features some mildly pleasant sextiles between the Sun and Jupiter and Mercury and Jupiter on May 10 & 12, as well as a sensual Venus-Mars sextile around May 18. Later in the month things become more tense, with a destructive Mars-Pluto square around May 26. Fortunately the very end of the month closes out with one of the most positive and auspicious alignments of the year starting to form in the sky, as Venus and Jupiter form a conjunction in Cancer that will culminate in early June.

0:00.0	Hey, my name is Chris Brennan. You're listening to The Astrology Podcast.
0:03.5	Joining me today is Astrologer Austin Copic, and we're going to be talking about the
0:06.7	astrological forecast for May of 2026. Hey, Austin, good to see you again.
0:12.2	Yeah, it's nice to be back.
0:14.0	We're back again. It's been a month since our last forecast episode, and we're going to spend
0:18.1	the first hour of this episode talking about major news and events that
0:22.1	happened since our last forecast and the astrology behind those news stories. Then in the second
0:27.6	hour, we're going to jump into doing a deep dive into the astrology of May. So as always, there'll be
0:33.1	timestamps if you want to jump ahead straight to the forecast episode and skip the news. But otherwise, before we get into the news section, I wanted to give just a quick overview of the astrology of May to give you a preview of what's coming up later in this episode.
0:46.3	All right. So here is the, for those watching the video version, the Planetary Alignments Calendar that shows all the major
0:54.7	astrological aspects this month. But I'm actually just going to mention some of the highlights
1:00.6	this month and try to give some keywords to do things a little bit differently this time. So the
1:05.7	month opens with what I would describe as a piece-shattering Mars-Jupiter Square around May 4th, and then around the same time,
1:13.9	there's a very intense Pluto station on May 6th and the dates surrounding it, which highlights
1:19.6	themes of power and control, but will also mark an important turning point with respect to ongoing
1:25.0	technological and social transformations that have been
1:28.4	developing over the past few years. Speaking of technological transformations, in the middle of the
1:34.2	month, a newly ingressed Uranus into Gemini will make its first conjunctions with Mercury
1:39.5	and the Sun in Gemini, which will initiate and accelerate new technological advancements and communications
1:45.7	and transportation, while also promising some unexpected disruptions this month.
1:51.3	The middle of the month also features some mildly pleasant sextiles between the Sun and Jupiter
1:56.3	and Mercury and Jupiter on May 10th and 12th, respectively, as well as a sensual Venus-Mars sextile around May 18th.
