The May 2026 Astrology Forecast episode of The Astrology Podcast, hosted by Chris Brennan and guest Austin Coppock, begins with a detailed analysis of the escalating Iran-US conflict in April 2026, culminating in a dual naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This geopolitical crisis is astrologically linked to a rare Mars-Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, historically associated with energy shocks and global blockades. The episode examines how this alignment coincided with a failed assassination attempt on President Trump on the same day Uranus entered Gemini—a moment framed as a pivotal, volatile shift in U.S. political history. The hosts explore the psychological and societal ripple effects, including the weaponization of AI and a surge in religious heresy narratives, all interpreted through the lens of the Saturn-Neptune cycle. The forecast for May 2026 is structured as a 'sandwich' of tension: high-stress beginnings and ends, with a critical reprieve in the middle. Key events include the May 16th new moon in Taurus, marking the close of the Aries phase and the start of a more grounded energy; the Mercury-Uranus conjunction on May 17th, signaling rapid technological and communication transformation; the Sun-Uranus conjunction on May 22nd, amplifying innovation; and the intense Mars-Pluto square on May 25th, a moment of potential conflict or deep personal rebirth. The month culminates in a powerful Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer, offering rare collective optimism and healing. The episode closes on a strongly positive note, emphasizing the transformative potential of the coming months and the importance of strategic timing, highlighted by a favorable electional chart for May 20th and the upcoming Venus-Jupiter conjunction in June, described as the best aspect of the year.
The Mars-Saturn-Neptune conjunction in April 2026 triggered a historic dual blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, causing global energy shocks and economic disruption.

April 2026: The Mars-Saturn-Neptune Conjunction & Global Blockade
“The Mars-Saturn conjunction is like hitting the gas and the brakes at the same time. It’s a blockade, a naval siege, and a moment where nothing moves.”
Uranus in Gemini: A New Era of Technological and Political Upheaval
“Uranus in Gemini is historically coincided with the three most defining but also violent and bloodiest wars in U.S. history.”
May 2026 Forecast: The Tension Sandwich & Technological Awakening
“The Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Gemini is the first of six or seven over the next seven years—seed planting moments for the technological innovations to come.”
The May 16th New Moon: A Major Transition Point
“This is a huge turning point then at this point in the month, this new Moon on May 16th which just happens to fall right in the month that evenly divides us between the first half of the month where we're still dealing with all of that Aries stuff, and we're having the full Moon, and we're having Pluto station and Mercury square it. And then this is the turning point where we'd close that chapter and we open up a fresh one and there's a huge vibe shift that takes place because all of the planets change signs.”
Mercury and Sun Enter Gemini: Fresh Ideas and Innovation
“There's a freshness that I'm looking forward to here. There's a lot of things have grown quite stale and a lot of ideas have demonstrated to be bad ones, but have not been replaced with better thinking. You know, it's one thing to recognize an idea is not great, but when no other ideas have presented themselves, when it's just a variety of stale, perhaps even decomposing ideas to choose from. It's really not that much of a choice. And so I'm looking forward to Uranus and Gemini in these conjunctions with it, introducing some new things, maybe ways to get from here to there that we haven't thought of.”
