May 2026 Astrological Forecast
MONTHLY TRENDS
With a full Moon setting in the financial and business signs of Taurus and Scorpio, May 2, at 3:23 am AEST, stand by for an extremely interesting and surprising month of geopolitical and economical debate, apprehensiveness, and extensions regarding important negotiations for trade, peace talks and agreement. Expect increased oil transactions and deals with new suppliers, stock market and investment opportunities, bank and interest rates concerns, breaking of ceasefire agreements, proposed financial changes with tariffs, illegal financial activities, fraud, corruption, and behind the scenes deals and exchanges between countries. There will be one BIG word that will dominate the economic goings on and international nervousness of the day-to-day activities throughout the globe during his month of May and that is “MONEY.” This will be an expensive month for most people.
With the Sun (spotlight) in transit through the geopolitical, economic, business, banking, investment and spending sign of Taurus until the 21st, then meeting with the planet Uranus (sudden and unexpected) from the 22nd to the 31st, be extremely alert concerning money transactions in May, for the monetary pressure of debt will be on for every global government. Warnings from the International Monetary Fund will influence financial directions for oil-exporting countries, world banks, stock markets, superannuation savings, insurances, transport and shipping Industry, imports, exports, airlines, travel companies and employment, creating apprehensiveness over the continuous rising of cost-of-living standards for the world to cope with.
The biggest problem for the month of May will be inflation, with new and existing governments globally endeavouring to cut back on spending to avoid a major global recession, and at the same time trying to save face with the general population regarding budgetary policy and pre-election promises. Watch the global deficit rise dramatically in May-June.
May and June 2026 are the stress months ahead, more so from May 19, 2026, 11:05 am, AEST to June 28, 2026, 11:55 pm AEST, when Mars, planet of action and aggression, enters the financial and trading sign of Taurus, increasing global expenditure and forcing central banks to consider increasing cash rates. There appears to be no relief for mortgage holders over May-June, with global monetary cash rates, including the US dollar, changing in unexpected directions. The twenty-four-hour money market will be full of speculative opportunities with world currencies during this period. Silver will be a good bet during May-June, and gold will show steadier changes from July 1, 2026, onward. Technology, AI, metals, telecom, communications, energy, retail, banks and healthcare should be steady stocks to hold. Astrologically, there appears to be no major global recession for the month of May regardless of the present “on one day, off the next”, with Iran-USA peace talks, shipping blockades and a negative cooperation for the opening of shipping transport lanes of oil restrictions set by the US and Iran.
URANUS TRANSIT TRENDS
Uranus, planet of change and advanced ideas, has now commenced a seven-year transit cycle through the astrological sign of Gemini (major global changes). The last time this transit occurred was between August 7, 1941 to June 10, 1949, influencing tremendous transitional change years during World War Two and the beginning of the reconstruction years relating to the aftermath of war. It usually takes Uranus approximately eighty-four years to complete a solar cycle. However, during this new Uranus revolutionary cycle, Uranus will be connecting with planets Neptune (oil) and Pluto (world transformation), creating a powerful and determined combination of constructive change, as the world gradually progresses through this new world order. Astrologically, the present global population has not experienced the developing positions of planets Uranus (advanced ideas), Neptune (visionary) and Pluto (readjustment) in a favourable transit together in the zodiac signs of Gemini (communication), Aries (new beginnings) and Aquarius (modernization) as these planets transit extremely slowly but progressively in the long term as they advance through the cosmos.
As mentioned previously, Uranus takes 84 years to complete a solar cycle, Neptune completes a cycle every 165 years, and Pluto every 248 years. The last three-way combination of these planets in line was during 1479 – 1650 –1821. Fortunately, from May 2026 to January 2029 in particular, these planets will progress precisely, over this rare transit cycle, influencing constructive peace talks, long term agreements, reduction and easement of economic sanctions, and exciting geopolitical and fiscal changes globally. Astrologically, one can be assured the present Middle Eastern situation will display a slow recovery cycle together with new peace agreements conducted from May 1, 2026 onward. The flow of de-escalating oil prices will begin to ease the present world fuel crises, with increased fuel deliveries and lower prices for local distributors and outlets by June 29, 2026.
The planet Jupiter (expansion) moves into the zodiac sign of Leo (confidence) from July 1, 2026, to July 26, 2027, and the global economic and fiscal trends will bring greater competition and cooperation between countries for manufacturing, industry, and trade. Watch gold during this cycle for re-adjustment through to July 26, 2027.
‘Do Not Panic’ is the message during May 2026 – June 2029 as this will be a period of major re-development for the world, and global conditions will show a positive geopolitical turnround economically. As previous predicted, from this May through to January 20, 2029 President Trump (Gemini) will receive acknowledgement for the agreed compromise and long-awaited peaceful transition period of Iran and will receive full support from China’s president Xi Jinping (Gemini) when they meet from this month onward. The future meetings, discussions, and outcome between Trump and Xi Jinping (both Gemini) will encourage world stock markets to show a positive trading cycle due to the China – US cooperation for world peace and new trading programs. With Jupiter (abundance) entering the sign of Leo (improvements) by July 1, 2026, reduced trade tariffs and boosting future trade agreements, together with cooperative economic exchanges, will set the world on the right footing for future geopolitical negotiations, trade and prosperity. Do not worry about a global recession, the astrologically possibilities are low.
IRAN
According to Iran’s horoscope, there will no immediate complete settlement of peace this month, as Mars (aggression) is connecting with the country’s natal Sun (sovereignty), and Uranus (change) is connecting with Iran’s natal Moon (ruling population), influencing opposite and mixed viewpoints between the religious leaders, IRCG (Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps), Iran’s presidential government and the mixed attitude with the general population. Until these factions in Iran come to some form of compromise and agreement between themselves, disruption and conflict will continue, until they run out of money.
Fortunately, with Uranus (catastrophes} now in transit through Gemini (communications), an agreement will be reached to settle the war between the US and Iran. A great deal of patience will be required of President Trump as he awaits the final agreement for complete peace later this year. The first turning point for real peace will be from July 1, 2026, onward. Unfortunately, due to the IRCG opposing any form of agreement, this peace treaty will take longer than Trump anticipates. President Trump, according to his horoscope, does not wish to demolish Iran with fire power; he and other heads of global governments, including President Xi Jinping, will endeavour to acquire a comprehensive peace agreement through a long-term economic and security understanding. From July 1, 2026, to July 26, 2027 positive changes will occur economically that force Iran to compromise.
As predicted previously in my writings, Iran will eventually become a type of semi-democracy, rather than a religiously dominated terrorist anti-West organization. This change will have the backing of China and the European nations. The peace agreement will continue well after Trump leaves the White House and the new president takes office. Iran is destined, according to their horoscope, to become a major player in the new world order for expressions of interest in education, technology, medicine, and global economic competitive trade.
ISRAEL - IRAN - LEBANON
Will the wars between these countries be over in May? No is the astrological answer. Unfortunately, Israel’s horoscope indicates, as predicted in 2025, that it will not cease its destruction of Lebanon until the Hezbollah is disarmed and Lebanon is run by its politically elected government – not Hezbollah and its corrupt army. Trump will have to be stern with Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, over his actions regarding war, for this to occur.
According to Israel’s horoscope, Israel is destined for further fighting with Lebanon throughout 2027. Astrologically, according to the horoscopes of Lebanon, Iran, and Gaza in particular, peace between Arabs and Jews will never be possible. Their differences can never be compatibly resolved.
CHINA
With the planet Mars (action) throwing its weight behind discipline and authority regarding economic measures, wages, and conditions in China’s horoscope during May-June, expect to witness new beginnings, interests, and ideas to help boost the Chinese economy through improved future trade opportunities, compromising tariffs, trends, and conditions. China’s property woes will begin to show a slow turnaround from July 1, 2026 onward. Improved investment will commence through the remainder of 2026 and show an increase throughout 2027.
According to China’s horoscope, from September 25, 2029 – January 17, 2031 China’s internal economy and international trade surplus will be the biggest since the early 90s-2000s. During the next two years, sales of electric vehicles, robots, and international business, consumer trade and tourism, will boost export figures for China, and encourage world-wide future investment. China is slowly and presently turning the financial corner after an extended period of economic difficulty. President Xi Jinping does not wish a major conflict, unless forced upon.
NORTH KOREA
Kim Jong Un (Capricorn) is getting very bored, according to his horoscope. No government around the globe is taking much notice of Kim’s presence during May, apart from Russia’s Putin, who is sending North Koreans troops up to the front in the Ukraine war to be killed, due to their lack of military expertise. With Uranus now in transit through the zodiac sign of Gemini (duality) and soon to oppose Kim’s natal Venus (friends), Kim Jong Un will soon become more demanding with his official friends in Russia and China, causing uncertainties with their relationships. Do not be at all surprised during the months of May-June, if Kim decides to toss a few missiles into the air, just to place South Korea and Japan on the defensive and to cause nuisance. He may consider striking a new medal for his generals, just to keep them happy. Astrologically, Kim Jong Un is not a threat to the Indo-Pacific at present, and President Xi Jinping will see to that.
JAPAN
Interesting to note on Japan’s horoscope, for the first time in twelve years, Jupiter (abundance) will enter Japan’s financial sector from June 1, 2026 – May 14, 2027, giving the country a boost in production, international sales, and profitability. With Mars (military) and Neptune (ships) both in transit through the zodiac sign of Aries (new beginnings) Japan can expect major advances in ship building and military hardware, engineering design, machinery, electronics, aircraft, and automobile production. During 2027 – 2028, new communications and technology will have Japan advancing ahead of China and South Korea for military and civil contracts. Unfortunately for Japan, seismic activity is more prominent as the planet Uranus (sudden and unexpected) clashes with the planet Pluto (disasters) during June 8, 2026 – May 14, 2027. Much of Japan’s international profits will be spent on reconstruction of the country. From July 18, 2027 onward, seismic activity appears to subside to a degree as the planet Uranus (change) crosses the ascendant of Japan’s horoscope, influencing a more settled aspect for seismic activity for the country. Difficult international and geopolitical change for Japan will be during March 23, 2037 – January 18, 2043, due to global conflict and a downturn in international commerce.
AUSTRALIA
On May 12, the Australian budget will be handed down by the federal treasurer, the Right Honourable Dr Jim Chalmers (Pisces). At the time of the budget broadcast, the Moon will be in the last quarter of its twenty-nine-day cycle (negative) and in transit through the zodiac sign of Pisces (welfare-benefits). Interesting to note, the zodiac sign of Pisces is also the birth sign Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, so the Australian population can expect Albanese (Pisces) would have had the major say in the establishment of the budget, with Chalmers (Pisces) adding the final changes to the budget paper.
With the Moon (population) in the zodiac sign of Pisces (welfare) on budget evening, the main emphasis of the presentation will be on taxation, savings, superannuation, welfare and sickness benefits, Medicare, hospitals, education, housing, employment, energy, defence, and environment. With major cuts and alterations to the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) to be made, these alterations will be long overdue to eliminate the corruption, fraud, and criminal activities that have hampered the real need for assisting those with chronic and permanent disabilities. These NDIS-positive changes will save the country billions of dollars per year and still provide assistance to those applicants that genuinely deserve the government benefits.
At the time of the budget announcement, the planets Mercury (announcements – news) will be joined with the planet Jupiter (benefits) in the sector of finances, pensions, and security. There will be stipulation made for taxation cuts and welfare benefits for working and elderly Australians, and these alterations and additions to the budget will get the thumbs up overall from the Australian public. Unfortunately, there will be no reduction of funds for climate change and renewables, nor will there be taxpayer funds allocated for one or two new oil refineries that need to be considered. Hence, this budget will only increase the national debt. It is a budget that will be expensive and inflationary during the 2026/27 period.
By the time the 2027-28 pre-election budget is set, Australia could be close to A$1.9 trillion in the red. As predicted in 2025, the Albanese Labor government will be re-elected in 2028 with a reduced majority. However, Australia will then enter the worst period of economic disruption between June 14, 2028 – May 23, 2033, a disaster period for the Labor government and nation. The Australian horoscope indicates the country will encounter a massive economic shift that has never been experienced before, including trillions in financial debt caused by the Labor government’s spendthrift welfare policies and mismanagement of the country’s financial taxation distribution, future stored energy and transmission plans, industrial manufacturing decline, and climate change and renewables programs.
To add to future massive political problems, Australia will be caught up between international financial disarray and global conflict, something we have not experienced since Federation. Australia must become more self-sufficient, for global currencies will be under threat, including the US dollar that could be under pressure or lose its reserve currency status or value, due to increased global debt and conflict. The US, Russia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Middle Eastern countries and Europe will also be part of the discord; it will be massive. A change of the Australian federal government will also be witnessed during the 2030-33 cycle, due to geopolitical and homegrown population unrest and global security disarray.
During the disruptive and critical state of the global economy throughout these years, the Australian government will be disillusioned, and in an unprepared state with the Australian Defence Force and the nation’s national security. Forget about net zero emissions and renewables; during these years, the need for fossil fuels will be desperate. Australia must become more self-sufficient for efficient, reliable energy between 2027 -30, otherwise suffer the consequences.
