What to Wear This May, According to Your Horoscope

May has always been an in-between month when the temperature shifts between cold and wet to burning hot. However, the astrological forecast predicts that we are shifting to a summer vibe this May starting on the 7th when Venus, the planet of style and beauty, moves into emotional and nostalgic Cancer. This will remind us of our favorite summer looks from the past and encourage us to bring them back this summer. From Y2K to the fantastical mermaidcore, this is a time to indulge in our fashion dreams.

This May also has a big Taurus energy with Mercury going direct in the bull on the 14th. Jupiter, the planet of luck and success will enter Taurus on the 16th, and the new moon will be in the Earth sign on the 19th. Taurus is ruled by Venus, encouraging us to invest in our wardrobes before the new season. This month is great for comfortable pieces, blue and green color palettes, and an earthy vibe.

However, with Mars entering Leo on the 20th, we'll want to add a little spice to our looks. When the sun enters Gemini on the 21st, we'll lean more toward statement-making outfits that create a conversation.

So what do the cosmos have planned for your wardrobe this month? Check your stylescope below, and remember to check your sun, rising, and Venus sign to get the best insight (and more outfit ideas).
