Hope and faith have been in short supply this past year, but when expansive Jupiter zooms into boundless Pisces on May 13th, we’re ready to believe in the abundance of the universe once again! This planet-sign combo will only last until late July, acting as a sneak preview of what’s to come in 2022. A taste of freedom should be enough to lift our spirits, daring us to dream of a future without the fears and limitations that have gripped us. How do you imagine the world of tomorrow and what can you do to make it a better place for everyone?

TAURUS

April 20–May 20

With Mars cruising through your communication house throughout May and Venus gracing Taurus until the 8th, you can win people over early in the month. Advocate for yourself, pitch an idea or ask someone out — who can say “no” to you now? Mercury in your sign tangles with Jupiter on the 3rd, producing sky-high aspirations. Be careful not to skip over important details in your big plans! The Taurus sun challenges Saturn that same day, making you feel hemmed in by a system, a boss, your career or rules. You just don’t feel like doing everything by the book. If it seems like you’re not progressing professionally and someone or something is blocking your path, you can turn this negative energy into a positive, in the form of self-discipline. When Venus vibes with Pluto on May 6th, get inspired to enjoy unfamiliar experiences and connect with people who are different from you. Such exploration can arouse strong emotions and change how you see the world. As she takes her final bow in Taurus on the 8th, Venus goes up against Jupiter, tempting you to oversell yourself or cross the line with an authority figure. Feeling confident is a plus, but if your ambition gets out of hand, you might have to dial it down around people you’re supposed to answer to. That doesn’t mean you should totally downplay your magnetism, though. It can bring you welcome recognition now. On May 11th, you’re invited to celebrate your personal New Year as Taurus hosts the new moon. Where do you see yourself a year from now, and who will support you in your quest? How do you want to change? What do you want to change about your life? This annual lunation should give you a push in the right direction! On the 13th, Jupiter segues into your hopes-and-humanity sector, where it will be camped out until late July. Aim to expand the circle of people in your life and to grow new dreams. As you develop different interests and aims, you’ll encounter others who share them. You can gain a lot from networking because the contacts you make are likely to educate you, encourage you and lift you up. You’ll also have luck with technology, philanthropic endeavors and team efforts and may increase your social media influence. On May 17th, the sun’s chemistry with Pluto lends you the courage to go out on a limb and may bring an opportunity for a powerful experience that changes you! With Venus and Saturn in cahoots two days later, the work you’re doing can help you attract what you need. Keep your eyes open for an opportunity to earn income, and be clear on what’s most valuable to you. The sun’s spat with Jupiter on the 21st might pit your values or finances against group interests. Make sure you’re not overidentifying with what you own or what’s most important to you. Know what you have to offer and be proud of your contribution — and share it with others! You can be quite generous now, but don’t draw from an empty well or tempt fortune just to please people. Mercury’s dustup with Neptune the next day can also mean friendships and group relations will suffer from confusion over money, priorities or material possessions. Define your position as clearly as you can and don’t worry if you can’t seem to square your needs with those of others. After Saturn shifts into reverse on the 23rd, you may not feel like you’re making as much progress. Spend the next few months reviewing your goals and your professional path and rethinking objectives that aren’t completely relevant to who you are today. Double check whether you’re leaving out any essential steps in your long-term plans. This retrograde phase can strengthen your determination to make your mark in the world. You’re poised to take on more responsibility and achieve big things, but it won’t happen overnight. Use the summer to set yourself up for success. The lunar eclipse of May 26th will generate strong emotions in your closest bonds. It could heat up your sex life or lead you to break up with a lover. If you get into a power struggle, it may be a waste of time. You’re capable of turning a big psychological corner and finally moving on from a crisis, loss or pain now. Waiting for an outside resource like a loan or grant to come through? This might just be your lucky day. You might also lend support or money to someone else. When Venus and Neptune get their wires crossed the next day, ask yourself if you’re overrating someone and selling yourself short. You’re susceptible to doubting your worth among your squad or another group, and people may perplex and disappoint you. Try not to focus on whether someone will come through for you. And resist the urge to compare yourself to other people! After Mercury does a U-turn on the 29th, your financial judgment won’t be so sharp. You’d be wise to put off splurges and negotiations for a few weeks and go over your budget with a fine-toothed comb. The day after, Mars syncs with Neptune, facilitating teamwork and socializing. Selfless actions can give you a sense of higher purpose.

GEMINI

May 21–June 20

Your energy is well-spent dealing with finances and belongings this month, thanks to the presence of mobilizing Mars in your resources house. If you make good use of your assets and align your actions with your values and priorities, you’ll come out ahead. You could drum up more income-generating business, but you could also splurge without thinking and regret it later. So press pause and ask yourself what need you’re trying to fill. On May 3rd, 8th and 20th, Mercury, Venus and the sun show up in Gemini, gifting you a silver tongue, objective mind, charisma, approachability, beauty, vitality and focus. The sun’s arrival on the 20th marks the start of your birthday season and gives you permission to step into the spotlight. Rewinding to May 3rd, Mercury’s skirmish with Jupiter can make you restless, but a mental getaway like a good book or movie will offer a needed break from reality. When the sun fights with Saturn almost immediately after, a feeling of being stuck between your past and your future could irk you. Part of you wants to drift and see what life brings, while part of you is compelled to do the work of learning everything you need to know in order to achieve your goals. Again, a brief retreat from the world will prevent you from veering off-track. Venus’s harmony with Pluto on the 6th suggests private time with someone close to you will conjure up powerful emotions, while peaceful solitude can shift your psychological state. If you start a relationship now, it’s bound to be intense — and maybe secret! Venus spars with Jupiter on the 8th, leaving you torn between relishing downtime and getting out to have new experiences. Should you indulge in escapist pleasures or answer a higher calling and show heartfelt selflessness? Maybe both — Jupiter isn’t a fan of narrowing down the options. Note that if you get swept up in a romantic dream now, it could turn out to be smoke and mirrors. On the 13th, Jupiter climbs to the highest point of your chart, revving up your ambition for the next two and a half months. You could assume a leadership role and receive accolades. Since you’ll be highly visible and feeling sure of yourself, try not to come off as superior. But do aim high! Go for a promotion and chase after chances to climb the ladder. You might score a job that allows you to travel or “takes you places” in your career. Still searching for your true vocation? Find a professional mentor who will help you plot your path to success. A sun-Pluto mashup on the 17th can bring intensive reflection that generates movement in your psyche and possibly heals a wound. Venus schmoozes with Saturn on the 19th, helping you charm a professor or mentor without really trying — or draw in people who have something to teach you. You’re driven to make your mark when the confident sun in Gemini elbows aspirational Jupiter on May 21st. Boldly go after a big goal and prove what you’re made of. And be proud of yourself when you achieve something! Just stop short of arrogance to minimize the risk of crashing and burning. A Mercury-Neptune squabble could make it harder for you to communicate with authority figures on May 22nd; you might distort reality when you’re speculating about what you can accomplish. The next day, Saturn turns retrograde, cautioning you to calculate risks. You’re asking big questions about life, and your search for answers will take the form of internal processing. You don’t have the ability to broaden your horizons in leaps and bounds between now and October, so focus on formulating your personal philosophy instead. On the 26th, a lunar eclipse in your interpersonal angle could instigate unwanted drama in your relationships. Someone might suddenly need a ton of attention and become super sensitive. This lunation serves as a reminder to balance your feelings and needs with those of others for the time being, even though it is your birthday season. A certain bond may reach a point where you’re forced to decide whether it’s time to commit or quit. Your one-to-one connections are being tested, and this process can strengthen the best ones in the end. Venus gets lost in Neptune’s fog on the 27th, making you less sure of how people see you. Maybe you’re not putting out crystal-clear signals, and that’s why people aren’t responding the way you want them to. Measuring your progress isn’t easy, and confusion over where you’re headed can balloon into listlessness. Try not to get discouraged. Rather than highlighting what you’re not getting, ponder what your true aspirations are and how driven you are to attain them. Not knowing what you’re shooting for could be the core issue. To get back in the flow, try doing something creative purely for the pleasure of it. Mercury will be backtracking through Gemini starting on May 29th, making it harder to get your message across. Postpone big decisions, rethink your personal choices and consider what you want to say when communication clears up in a few weeks. And try not to get too hung up on being misunderstood. A Mars-Neptune summit on the 30th will allow you to make the most of your talents and other assets in the effort to achieve an ambitious dream. Direct your thoughts and actions toward providing for yourself — and incorporate imagination and spirituality for maximum success.

CANCER

June 21–July 22

Crabs are making moves! With Mars heating up your sign all month, you’re taking charge of your goals and doing what you need to do to advance your own interests. Your impressive drive will help you prove what you’re capable of, but you might need to take it down a notch if you start bulldozing others inadvertently. Stand up for yourself, but avoid petty fights. Working independently is your best strategy during this productive period. Be careful not to break a confidence when Mercury clashes with Jupiter on May 3rd. It’s easy to overshare when the planet of excess is in the mix; stop and think whether you should spill the beans — and to whom. The sun’s friction with Saturn that day implies you may find intimacy stifling or feel like someone isn’t reliable. Keeping things casual and spending time with friends probably sounds a lot simpler than working on a serious relationship. But perhaps there’s a happy medium between lighthearted and hardcore that will work for you. Venus gels with Pluto on the 6th, alluding to a strong connection — albeit a platonic one, most likely. A friend could turn into a significant other now, though. If you want to meet someone new, technology and groups are your best bets. Next, Venus squares off with Jupiter on May 8th, which could cause more indecision over playing the field versus going all in on one person. Jealousy, sex and overblown expectations can affect a friendship, so tread carefully. The flipside: a casual connection can heat up in a good way! After Jupiter blasts into your exploration corner on the 13th, you’ll be inspired to spread your wings and soar. Spot opportunities to learn and have growth experiences. You’re on a mission to find more meaning in life; to do so, you’ll need to take risks, expand your perspective, seek out difference and aim for greater awareness of all that the world has to offer. Your sense of adventure will surge, and unfamiliar topics, foreign cultures and beliefs, and people from various places and backgrounds will excite you. Faith, courage and optimism will motivate you to make the most of chances to explore new territory. Work on developing your own philosophy. Get involved in a cause beyond yourself. And remember: You’re not supposed to have all the answers. On the 17th, a sun-Pluto collab suggests you might encounter someone who has a strong influence on you. Welcome a powerful experience because a bond with a friend could deepen, or you could click with a person who will change your life. Venus’s chemistry with Saturn can save the day on May 19th, coaxing you to put your personal desires second. Selflessness and kindness won’t go unrewarded — you could end up getting what you want while helping someone else. Don’t get carried away with an abstract illusion when the sun tussles with Jupiter two days later. You may be disoriented, since one side of you wants to take a step back from the world and another aspires to branch out. This planetary pair can increase your self-awareness, understanding of life and knowledge of the world if you find a middle ground between prejudgment and suspension of disbelief. Let lessons from the past broaden your outlook and shape your aspirations. It’s hard to stay in the moment on the 22nd as well, with mental Mercury battling Neptune. This combination can make you feel lost in thoughts of the past and the future, grasping for perspective. Your spiritual mindset is emphasizing how connected you are to all living beings, but it can also blur distinctions, leaving you rather unsure of yourself. After Saturn reverses course on May 23rd, a financial arrangement, joint venture, passion project or close relationship could stall. For the next four and-a-half months, you’ll need to come to terms with what must change. Facing a big fear will give you strength. On May 26th, a lunar eclipse in your efficiency corner might trigger a crisis related to your work or health. If you’re stressed, examine the contributing factors. Do you have too much on your plate? Now’s the time to pare down your to-do list and stop taking on more responsibilities. Look for ways to delegate, but be mindful of your coworkers’ feelings. Bonus: This is the best moon in 2021 for breaking a bad habit! When Venus gets entangled with Neptune on the 27th, your ideals can cloud your view, and the fantasy of being able to save other people is especially tempting. Pause to consider whether you’re sacrificing too much for the wrong person or the wrong reason. Find a peaceful, quiet atmosphere where you can reflect on your relationships — past and present. Has one run its course and no longer serves your growth? You can capture the big picture of your personal life and possibly release someone who isn’t healthy for you. Pay attention to what your intuition is trying to tell you. Mercury does a 180° in your subliminal sector on May 29th, pulling a lot of your attention inward. In the next few weeks, you can glean more information from your dreams, hunches, imagination, memories and buried feelings than you can from the outside world. Communication won’t be easy, so don’t force it. When Mars dovetails with Neptune on the 30th, your compassion, ideals or spiritual beliefs can inspire you to take action. Channel your drive toward promoting a vision of the world as you think it should be.

LEO

July 23–August 22

You’ll fare well working behind the scenes without holding for applause in May, while Mars hides out in your subliminal corner. It can be a productive month as long as you find a low-key setting and toil incognito rather than trying to assert yourself in a more conspicuous manner. Just avoid slipping into a regressive behavior pattern — the downside of this planetary position. Be conscious of the ways in which you undermine yourself. Confront motives lurking in the shadows of your psyche. Another winning strategy: Selflessly strive to help others in need. A Mercury-Jupiter melee on the 3rd sets up high expectations and might lend you an imperious tone among equals. Try using this energy to make exciting plans with someone. The sun and Saturn go at it that day, and it may feel like personal obligations or another individual is dulling your Leo shine. You’re aiming for a goal, but maybe you owe someone else time and energy. People can teach you something, even if it seems like they’re just testing you. On May 6th, Venus’s link with Pluto means all the hard work you’ve been doing will boost your appeal with authority figures, despite the fact that Mars is making it harder to get noticed. If you’re hoping your creativity will stand out, your determined efforts could pay off. When Venus nudges Jupiter on the 8th, if you’re careful not to push your luck, your charms — once again — won’t be lost on people. And for Lions who are ultra-focused on relationships, you might get into a discussion about where things are headed and find out you’re not on the same page. An ultimatum could move the needle, but is that how you want to get your way? Next, Jupiter segues into your depth-and-merging zone on the 13th for a two and-a-half-month stay. Here’s further incentive to get to the truth in your closest connections and invest in the right ones. Shared resources, gratifying sex and mutual emotional support are a few perks associated with intimacy. If jealousy, control or mistrust have been Achilles heels for you in the past, this transit can be a learning experience. Plus, you can dive deep into a passion project or a process of psychological growth — calling for plenty of alone time. Outside sources (such as loans and grants) will also offer rewards, so seek what you need. But keep your ask within reason, since Jupiter tends to go overboard. When the sun and Pluto gel on May 17th, hard work will bear fruit, so roll up your sleeves and get to it! Venus’ chemistry with Saturn two days later coaxes you to enjoy the company of friends and other people you value. Commit to making an effort when a bond is important. Even the best relationships require work sometimes. Sun-Jupiter friction on May 21st alludes to the possibility that you want to play a larger role in someone’s life or you’re hoping to get more from someone. Try looking at life from their angle and recognize that sharing is rarely even-steven. Don’t push them to offer more than they’re willing and able to. And be careful not to overshare; something could go viral that wasn’t intended for public knowledge. Mercury’s spat with Neptune on the 22nd also hints that secrecy and misgivings can pose problems in a close relationship. It’s easy to become bewildered by closeness that day. After Saturn pivots retrograde on May 23rd, the lessons you’ve faced about relationships will entail fewer external developments and more internal processing. If you’re single, you’ll probably find yourself pondering what you want and need from a partner and what worked and didn’t work in the past. You might decide to end a relationship or pump the brakes if you’ve been heading toward commitment. Then as a lunar eclipse hits on May 26th, romantic sparks could fly, getting a love affair off the ground or causing it to burn out. You might finish a creative project or put a side of yourself on display that grabs people’s attention. This lunation is associated with a strong need to express your personality and passion — so let everyone see the real you! If you obey your urge to enjoy life, you could have a fantastic time, but it’s possible your squad won’t share your idea of fun. You might have to compromise with a group or simply march to your own beat and follow your heart. Have fun getting to know people when Venus scuffles with Neptune on the 27th, but keep an open mind regarding the nature of your connection. It’s tempting to think you’ve met your soulmate when that’s what you’re longing for. Ambiguous hookups can be problematic when signals are this ambiguous. You might assume you can handle no strings, but if you’re harboring a subconscious fantasy, reality won’t necessarily measure up. Make a point of appreciating the genuinely amiable quality in your relationships now. If you aim for growth, you won’t be disappointed. Spending time with a variety of people rather than obsessing over one person may be the way to go. On the 29th, Mercury begins backpedaling, leading to more crossed wires — probably among friends or another group. Avoid gossip, back up your devices and put off buying tech for a few weeks. You could reconnect with an old pal and reflect on who you want in your inner circle. Social media will be full of drama, making it more important than ever to practice good netiquette. The next day, a Mars-Neptune rendezvous favors quiet time by yourself or with another person. You can get closer to your true self or to someone you’re fond of. Dive in deep for a magical experience.

VIRGO

August 23–September 22

Teamwork and philanthropic endeavors get the green light in May while Mars livens up your humanity house. Band together with others to make a difference in the world! On the 3rd, a Mercury-Jupiter tussle might make you preachy, especially if you have a strong opinion about the right way of doing things. Channel your enthusiasm into a plan that combines broad strokes and important details. And resist the temptation to boss people around. The sun and Saturn are also quarreling that day, which could make you feel fenced in by daily duties, job responsibilities or constraining circumstances. You may have trouble finding a compromise between pie-in-the-sky aspirations and pessimism. If you yearn to transcend present-day reality and explore new possibilities, consider the concept that putting in necessary work now is probably the very thing that will get you where you want to go. Venus harmonizes with Pluto on May 6th, incentivizing you to get off the beaten path and explore unaccustomed pleasures. The foreign, not the familiar, has the potential to elicit strong emotions. Whether you’re seeking a person, place or thing, getting past habitual boundaries can be deeply fulfilling. Then Venus grapples with Jupiter two days later, alluding to tension between the fun of experiencing unfamiliar pleasures and the need to overanalyze everything. You want to escape daily life, but you’re juggling a full workload. If you feel connected to people who are different from you, that might inspire you to put your skills to use and help others now. With Jupiter crossing your interpersonal angle on the 13th, your one-on-one relationships will be a big source of personal growth in the next couple of months. You’ll have an easier time clicking with others and will come in contact with a broad range of individuals who can introduce you to different aspects of the world. During this period, you’re meant to learn through your relationships and about your relationships. A business, creative or romantic partnership can flourish, or you might meet a better match than your current one. If you have a significant other, the two of you might travel or start a course of study together. Jupiter favors difference and distance, so cast your net wide for dating prospects and other opportunities to pair off. It’s a good time for securing a mentor or teacher and getting a collaboration off the ground. On the 17th, the sun’s chemistry with Pluto encourages you to keep getting out of your everyday routine to go in search of new adventures, people and ideas. You can get so much pleasure just from broadening your horizons, so don’t stick to what you know. Given that Venus is getting along beautifully with Saturn on May 19th, your work ethic can cast you in a favorable light with higher-ups. That’s your cue to put your nose to the grindstone. On the 21st, the sun’s dustup with Jupiter could siphon your ambition into a relationship and lead you to push for progress. If there’s any imbalance between you and another individual, it’s readily apparent now. Aim for mutual respect, making sure, on the one hand, your tone isn’t too authoritative and, on the other hand, you’re not letting someone walk all over you. If you’re wondering how your relationship looks to the outside world, steer your focus back to the reality of being in the relationship. Mercury has a disagreement with Neptune the day after that, complicating communication. It might be challenging to spell out your goals to someone close to you, or you might sound imperious without meaning to. Saturn shifts into reverse on the 23rd, indicating that it’s time to check in with your body and look at the toll stress is taking on your health. Consider streamlining your to-do list and your schedule. Improve the systems that keep your everyday life going, with the goal of changing anything that’s not enabling you to function well. What’s working and what isn’t? Here’s your chance to put a better plan in place. The lunar eclipse of May 26th could shake up your home life. If you’ve been holed up with family or roomies, you might be getting on each other’s nerves and need a break. Whatever your living situation is, this supercharged full moon can trigger a major mood swing. Up your self-care game and don’t sweep your feelings under the rug. Ask for what you need or go off by yourself and decompress. When Venus and Neptune get their wires crossed on May 27th, it won’t be easy to assess people’s reactions. Try not to worry too much about what others think of you. And don’t waste time attempting to read people’s minds or interpret unclear signals. Identify any illusions you may have about someone. The need to take care of another person could trip you up now. You may be of service through your work, but don’t ditch your own ambition in the process. After your ruler, Mercury, goes off the grid on the 29th, communication with authority figures will be rather complicated for a few weeks. Watch your tone, and review your goals instead of publicizing them. You might revise a biz plan or rethink your career path, bringing them more in line with your current circumstances and identity. Mars and Neptune are in cahoots on the 30th, paving the way for natural connection, romantic vibes, artistic alliance, spiritual bonding and charitable endeavors. Although you shouldn’t put others on a pedestal, try not to note every flaw either. Recognize what there is to love about people!

LIBRA

September 23–October 22

With Mars trekking across the peak of your chart, your ambition is in overdrive all month. You’re motivated to chase after goals and gain ground in your career. Work on projects that matter to you, and if you can, operate independently. Mars doesn’t like answering to anyone, so neither will you. And try not to come on too strong with authority figures or boss your coworkers around. When you take action on big plans, you’ll experience the thrill of progress. Mercury’s discord with Jupiter on the 3rd might spur you to pour out your heart to someone or bring a surge of confidence and conviction. Since the sun is at odds with Saturn that day, however, you might feel some inhibition about exposing yourself. Remember we’re all works in progress! Self-respect can make you more selective when it comes to love, but don’t build a wall around yourself. On the 6th, Venus clicks with Pluto, suggesting that deep-seated emotions will intensify an important bond. Processing private feelings that unsettle you will empower self-acceptance. Keep coming to terms with the whole truth of what is inside you. Are you hoping for more from a relationship than you’re getting? Or are you conflicted over whether you want it to be hot and heavy or breezy and light? When Venus locks into a square with Jupiter on May 8th, tension between desires and expectations will come to a head. Do your best not to overreact, because this mood will shift. Look for an opportunity to inject more creativity, play, romance and self-expression into a close connection. Next, Jupiter moves into your work-and-wellness corner for the next two and half months, inspiring you to improve your quality of life. It’s time to implement positive changes that will make you healthier and to shoulder new responsibilities that will grow your skillset. Your work ethic will get stronger, but you’ll also want more freedom. You could choose to do something more entrepreneurial now. Since you’re bound to be quite busy, strive to manage your time well. This is a great period for making lifestyle changes and taking better care of yourself, and you’ll also benefit from being of service to others. Jupiter assigns you a mission to understand your purpose and to find work that’s meaningful to you. The sun and Pluto make music on May 17th, prompting you to dive into deep — and perhaps challenging — feelings and memories. Bravely face what’s buried in your psyche and work through it, turning pain into strength. Talking to a trusted person who knows you well can add to this process of introspection and catharsis. Getting out of your comfort zone and everyday routine to enjoy unfamiliar pleasures will be incredibly satisfying on the 19th, thanks to a Venus-Saturn meetup. An attraction to a different person, culture or place could turn into a long-term passion, giving you more than enough reasons to explore and experiment. The sun goes up against Jupiter on May 21st, tempting you to overextend yourself, pack in learning experiences and test your wings. If you can’t keep up with all this enthusiasm, reel it in. There’s nothing wrong with admitting you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. Sometimes there’s a fine line between exhilarating and overwhelming. Pick projects that educate you and help others, but don’t take on intricate tasks just now. When Saturn begins to backpedal on the 23rd, you may soon find yourself questioning what will make you really happy. Instead of chasing after what you think you want, tune into your heart. What makes you who you are? What are you drawn to contribute? How can you best express your individuality? Looking to the past for answers may prove useful. Then on the 26th, a lunar eclipse could bring a whirlwind of information and busyness or blow your mind with eye-opening insights. Slow down and tackle one thing at a time. You might argue with neighbors or siblings under this lunation. The silver lining is you’ll be able to talk about the emotions involved. Due to Venus’s run-in with Neptune the next day, your craving for adventure might be quashed by low energy. Don’t push yourself if you’re fatigued. You may have your doubts anyway when it comes to whether or not the pleasure tempting you is healthy. The appeal of difference is luring you to seek new people and experiences. Even if you want a change of routine or a change of scene, maybe you should really tend to your health, fulfill your duties or take care of someone. That doesn’t mean you have to let obligations or your schedule keep you from enjoying an escape. But a compromise is probably in order. Once Mercury goes rogue in your outlook sector on May 29th, perplexing debates may pop up, and you’d do well to seek fresh perspective. This is a great time to put your views under the microscope and weed out prejudices. Be patient with travel and education-related snafus. Revisiting and relearning are bound to be easier for the next few weeks, if travel is even doable at this point. Ending May on a high note, Mars meshes with Neptune on the 30th. Creative work and useful work that helps others will empower you to prove what you’re capable of.

SCORPIO

October 23–November 21

Your wanderlust is in high gear throughout May, thanks to the energizing presence of Mars in your exploration house. Go out on a limb in the name of growth. Venture into unknown territory, chase after fresh adventures, fight for a righteous cause — and maybe even take a trip if you can pull that off safely. A Mercury-Jupiter clash on May 3rd can prompt you to talk freely about a family matter, your living situation or plans to settle down. Find the words to ask for the support you need. However, the sun crosses paths with Saturn that day, so emotional baggage, domestic obligations or private insecurities threaten to prevent you from connecting with others. If you feel dejected, it could seem like your responsibilities to people are the main issue. It’s worth asking what you owe to yourself. Fortunately, when Venus syncs with your ruling planet on the 6th, a deep mental connection and powerful dialogue are within your grasp. A difficult conversation can lead to worthwhile understanding, so be strong and say what you really feel. Reach out to people that day; someone can transform your mindset for the better. Then on the 8th, you should spend time with people you’re truly at ease with, because a Venus-Jupiter spat means your mood and your rapport with other individuals are intertwined. If you’re on the verge of pushing things to the next level in a relationship out of an emotional need for more security, slow down, even if it seems counterintuitive. On May 13th, Jupiter surges into your joy sector, encouraging you to learn how to enjoy life to the fullest. Let your inner child out to play. Express your personality and your desires more freely. Allow people to see the real you. Show off your creativity. Wear your heart on your sleeve. If you’re dating, get out of your comfort zone and hang with people who are different from you. Jupiter embraces difference — so “opposites attract” is your new motto. You’ll have a better shot at love and happiness when you color outside the lines! The sun’s vibe with Pluto on the 17th could help an important talk to finally happen. When you speak up, positive change is possible. But being a good listener is also essential. Venus meshes with Saturn two days later, persuading you to enjoy the company of someone you feel safe with. Intimacy is very grounding under this influence, and a close relationship could become more serious. When the sun and Jupiter spar two days after that, your fervor for a love affair or a passion project will grow — possibly to the point where you’ll wish for more than you’re getting. Are you torn between investing completely in one person and keeping your options open? Be honest with yourself about your feelings and give a connection sufficient time to develop. And give people freedom to grow in their own way! Friction between Mercury and Neptune could affect a close relationship on the 22nd, especially if you’re looking at someone through rose-colored glasses. Deep conversation and weighty thoughts come up against romantic illusions and ideals of happiness now — which could leave you bewildered or disappointed. Don’t try to reconcile a serious mindset with your dreamier side. Saturn turns retrograde at the base of your chart on May 23rd, pushing you to think hard about your living situation and the best long-term solution. If you’ve been grappling with childhood memories, family problems and private feelings, you might decide to consult someone who can help you come to terms with them. A lunar eclipse in your worth zone on May 26th can spur a shopping spree that’s intended to fill an emotional need. It’s practically impossible to distinguish between needs and wants under this lunation, so you would be wise to hold off on splurges. The upside? Money may also be headed into your bank account. Although you’re in the mood for a profound connection, try to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground when Venus gets lost in Neptune’s mist on May 27th, putting you in danger of misinterpreting a relationship. Do your best not to idealize a bond or a special someone. This reality check doesn’t have to be a buzzkill; the truth is it can bring about a more authentic experience of closeness. Real intimacy with another human being (including a good friend) involves sharing yourself with a complex, imperfect individual, not a dreamed-of image. It’s not uncommon to long for someone to sweep us off our feet and save us with their love. Examine your unspoken expectations without judgment. Mercury will be traveling retrograde from May 29th until June 22nd, which can mess with communication in an intimate relationship. You might reminisce about a past lover or reflect on a painful loss. Protect any info that you want to keep private, and probe your psyche for nuggets of truth. Restarting an investigation or research project can be well worth it during this period. You could have a transcendent learning experience on the 30th, thanks to harmony between Mars and Neptune. Whether you’re being courageous with your heart or your creativity or daring to try something unfamiliar and challenging, take risks for the sake of personal growth.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22–December 21

Mars is revving up your libido this month while he marches through your depth-and-merging house. Since he’s narrowing your focus to close relationships and passion projects, you won’t be inclined to scatter your energy and will have the patience to see things through to the end. On the 3rd, a Mercury-Jupiter tiff might lead to overly critical words, but if you make a concerted effort, you can combine detail-oriented thinking with optimism. You might score the info or the contact you need to get something done. Because the sun will squabble with Saturn that day, you have the energy to work hard, and yet your mindset could be a deterrent. Although it’s sensible to plot how you’ll execute everything that needs to be done, rigid thinking can keep you from getting started. Make a plan, then stay flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances. A Venus-Pluto summit on May 6th can make something as simple as decluttering your desk immensely satisfying. This transit also highlights a link between loving what you’re doing and gaining control over your finances. Venus’s encounter with Jupiter on the 8th could generate creative work or spur you to learn a lot from your colleagues. Honest communication and an open mind can improve a relationship. But you might go overboard again with what you consider friendly criticism. Maybe you’re trying to help but can’t hear how your words really sound. Then on the 13th, your ruling planet descends to the foundation of your chart, and the ensuing support you get from your family and home life will be a source of strength. This is a great time to ask your parents for help if you need it; they’re likely to come through. You might enhance the space you’re in, build an addition or relocate. Spending time with relatives will lift your spirits, and your relationship with your mother may improve. Aim to understand your moods, childhood and innermost thoughts. Surround yourself with wise women. You could bump self-care up higher on your priority list or start seeing a therapist to get a handle on old emotions. Have fun decorating and enjoying the comforts of home. If you’re trying to conceive, luck is on your side until late July and then again in the first four months of next year. A collaboration between the sun and Pluto on the 17th signals that hard work can reinforce your self-esteem and may strengthen your finances too. Keep your shoulder to the wheel to reap the rewards. Venus’s chemistry with Saturn two days later coaxes you to devise a solid strategy for meeting prospective partners if you’re looking for love or to take someone you already know more seriously. A mature conversation can put you on the same page with a person you care about. On the 21st, the sun mixes it up with Jupiter, which could lead you to yearn for a more secure connection with someone. Perhaps you’ll talk about swapping house keys, moving in together or meeting each other’s parents. Or maybe a specific relationship will challenge you to get past long standing beliefs or family expectations. Whether you’re paired off or flying solo, your interest in putting down new roots can drive you to reach out to another individual who will help. Mercury’s at odds with Neptune on May 22nd, making it likely that communication with a partner will be complicated by your home life, family issues or your emotional state. Being more aware of what’s going on inside you will help you clear up confusion in your conversations. Saturn does an about-face the next day, and after that, you might start doubting yourself. Keep scrutinizing what you’ve always assumed to be true, aiming to become more and more aware of how your mind works — and how that influences your reality. Also consider the way you communicate and how that colors your interactions. Don’t rush decisions; weigh everything with care. You’ll often be in your own head over the next several months. On the 26th, a lunar eclipse in Sagittarius echoes the one that occurred last June. If you feel like you’re on the brink of a meltdown, ascertaining what you need and asking for it diplomatically will do a world of good. You have permission to focus on yourself now. And you also have an ideal excuse to leave something or someone in your rearview mirror, moving past what doesn’t serve your growth. Is anything or anyone in particular pushing you to that brink? Maybe it’s time to let go. The next day, a Venus-Neptune squabble hints that you may not feel totally secure in a relationship. Or you could feel let down by another person if your underlying hopes are unrealistic. Ask yourself if ideals you’ve been holding onto for a long time might be keeping you from seeing someone in a clear light. You could also be craving comfort, and that is what’s clouding your perception. If domestic or family issues need your attention, relationships are likely to receive less of your energy now. On the 29th, Mercury turns retrograde, jamming the signals between you and other individuals. Give people the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming things. Know going into this phase that you might rehash old fights without reaching any new understanding. However, reviewing your relationships and your agreements with others—spoken and unspoken — would be productive. Mars syncs with Neptune on May 30th, highlighting the upside of doing creative work at home and spending quality time with someone you feel at ease around. You might also do something that helps a relative (or roommate) or delve into your psyche, gaining self-awareness.

CAPRICORN

December 22–January 19

Find a partner in crime this month, whether it’s an exercise buddy, a business associate or a companion for your latest activity. With Mars moving through your interpersonal angle in May, pairing up will boost your productivity. Although you might notice more tension in a close relationship; this is a good time to get grievances out in the open and deal with them head-on. On May 3rd, Mercury’s argument with Jupiter can cause trouble if you’re focused on pleasure-seeking and overestimate the worth of something. You could easily talk yourself into splurging. That day’s sun-Saturn confrontation adds an extra twist. Limited confidence or funds might prevent you from pursuing all-out fun. Stop to consider how doing as you please in the moment will impact your bottom line, even if that’s a buzzkill. Feeling good about your decision can offer a different kind of satisfaction. Venus and Pluto link up on the 6th, signaling that love, creativity, pleasure and play will have a memorable effect on you. You’ll get a lot out of channeling your passion into simply enjoying life. Open your heart and share your feelings. It may mean giving up your sense of control, but let people see the real you. It probably won’t be as scary as you imagine. Venus and Jupiter tussle two days later, triggering a spending spree if you’re coveting beautiful things. If money’s tight, you’ll benefit once again from contemplating the cost of satisfying current desires. But do allow yourself to enjoy life. Relish the moment and don’t fall into the trap of expecting a long-lasting payoff. Next, Jupiter puts down stakes in your thinking-and-talking corner, preparing for a two and-a-half-month visit. Your mindset, interactions and environment will liven up, and relations with neighbors and siblings could improve. You might start traveling (finally!), or your commute might get longer. You’ll be educated and inspired by people close to home and are apt to read and write more. Take advantage of chances to meet a wide array of humanity and to widen your own reach through self-promotion. Leave your default thought patterns behind and look for fresh ideas and ways of communicating. On the 17th, the sun’s chemistry with Pluto means just being yourself and enjoying life to the fullest can feel transformative. Reach out to people to lighten your mood. Any relationship you form now will involve your authentic self and not mere surface appearances. When Venus plays nice with Saturn on the 19th, a realistic view of relationships and a desire for someone reliable will keep you on terra firma. Bonus: Creative work can generate steady income under this influence. Then on the 21st, sun-Jupiter friction could impact your productivity, as there’s a good chance you’re taking on more than you can handle. Optimism is fueling you to achieve a lot, but it wouldn’t hurt to ask whether you’re getting ahead of yourself. If you’re a little worried you might not be able to deliver, don’t overcommit. You may be in a process of learning on the job, in which case you’d do well to prioritize duties that teach you something. Often, there’s no one “right” way of getting things done. Given this planetary pairing, you could make new career contacts or get super busy juggling work and socializing. The Mercury-Neptune melee of May 22nd can affect your ability to think critically and communicate clearly, and you might misunderstand people yourself. Your mind could drift when you’re trying to zero in on details, or your judgment could be clouded by dubious logic. Do your best to slow down and focus. With your ruler shifting into reverse on the 23rd, keep an even closer eye on your spending. Learning about finances in general will help you feel more in control of yours. You might revise your budget and shuffle your resources during this period. Make savvy use of your assets and try not to dwell on what you lack. Examine your relationship with money and belongings; it influences what you attract into your life. Your self-worth also colors your attitude toward finances and material possessions. On the 26th, a lunar eclipse can persuade you to tie up loose ends and let go of lingering emotions. This is the best lunation of the year for forgiving and forgetting! You could have some kind of spiritual awakening and should pay close attention to your dreams now. The day after, Venus-Neptune discord can make you gloss over details or speak less clearly than you want to once again. A muddle involving wellness, work and other practical matters may result. As much as you intend to be nice, your relations with colleagues and other people in your everyday life can still suffer a bit. If you’re trying to address relationship problems, understand that you might not see them realistically; you might be thinking what you want to think. Tweak your approach in an effort to get along better with people. After Mercury goes into backspin mode on May 29th, try to edit yourself at work, as crossed wires on the job are even likelier now. You’re liable to overlook seemingly trivial stuff, so be ready to double back and correct yourself later. Luckily, this is a good time to reapply for a position, revise a project, relearn a skill, revamp your routine and research a health issue. Mars and Neptune form an alliance on the 30th, tipping you off that the best way to get in sync with people is to think and speak with empathy. Spiritual connection and creative collaboration will also be particularly fruitful.

AQUARIUS

January 20–February 18

You’re highly motivated to get tons done in May, thanks to the mobilizing presence of Mars in your efficiency corner all month. Ideally, you can blaze through your to-do list, tackle job duties, stay on top of everyday responsibilities and still have energy for exercise. You’ll get a charge out of being productive and helpful, but you might butt heads when collaborating with others, so work solo whenever possible. Mercury’s encounter with Jupiter in Aquarius on May 3rd could spell an uplifting convo with a roomie or parent that emboldens you and buoys your confidence. The sun fights with Saturn that same day, though, bringing out a tendency to be too hard on yourself. If you’re feeling sensitive, moody, melancholy or nostalgic, don’t criticize your emotions. Put feelings and thoughts of the past in perspective. Do your best to balance your drive to work and your need for TLC. It’s possible to nurture yourself and motivate yourself under this planetary map. Venus connects with Pluto on May 6th, again calling for you to make peace with the past and with your strongest emotions. Dealing with the deep, dark stuff inside you will allow you to understand and accept yourself. Psychological change is possible when you venture down into your subconscious and face what you find there. Next, Venus challenges Jupiter on the 8th, tempting you to overindulge in simple comforts like sleep, food and drink. The pleasures of home are likely to compete with higher aspirations, and maybe you hope to have it all. Should you nest or fly free? Cozy up to someone familiar or explore new and exciting possibilities? Up to you! On May 13th, Jupiter exits Aquarius and lands in your worth zone, where it will be hanging out until late July. Now you’ll segue from learning about yourself to learning what you need, how to get it, what’s most important to you and how you can make the most of what you have. You could earn and spend more money, acquire more possessions and figure out how to utilize your talents. Time to rank your priorities, align your actions with your highest values, and believe in yourself. In doing so, you’ll get better at providing for yourself. With the sun and Pluto meshing on the 17th, digging around in your psyche and your past in search of meaning and self-understanding will once again facilitate emotional progress. Personal growth, no matter how painful, is worth struggling for. Venus’s alliance with Saturn on the 19th allows creativity, humor, romance and fun to brighten your day. A loved one could draw you out, and you might have a positive experience of being treasured for who you really are. When the sun throws darts at Jupiter on May 21st, your desire to enjoy life can spur you to overspend. But there’s also a chance that your confidence will surge when you channel your energy into love, art or play. Sharing your authentic self and feeling appreciated will remind you of what’s important. Plus it’s possible that, while pursuing fun or fulfillment, you’ll become more motivated to earn a better income. This planetary combo can make you want more of what makes you happy. Your mind is the part of you that wants to play the next day, but Merc’s run-in with Neptune can be a wet blanket. Maybe insecurity will mar your ability to say what’s in your heart or express your creativity. Try not to succumb to self-doubt. Saturn slows his roll in Aquarius on the 23rd, telling you that in order to achieve everything you set out to do, you’ll need more preparation. Do some soul-searching in the next four or five months, and even if you don’t make noteworthy external progress, your internal progress will prove useful in the fall. On the 26th, the lunar eclipse in your hopes-and-humanity sector could create shockwaves in your squad. Does a friend need sympathy and support? Be there for her to lean on. If you discover you don’t want to associate with a particular group anymore or you need to cut ties with a toxic individual in your circle, this lunation can give you the impetus to call it a day. A philanthropic endeavor may come to fruition as well, or you might take on a prominent role in an organization. Commotion between Venus and Neptune on May 27th can tempt you to take a chance on love or happiness without a clear idea of the cost. Don’t give up too much for what you think you want; it’s easy to indulge in the wrong things or people under this influence. You might make excuses for someone if you have feelings for them, and chances are you’re not measuring their actual value in your life. Your self-esteem needs to come from you, not from someone else. Due to Mercury’s retrograde turn on the 29th, you may get tongue-tied when you try to speak from the heart. In the next few weeks, you’ll benefit from reevaluating what fulfills you, rediscovering an old source of pleasure, rereading and revising. Don’t be surprised if an ex springs to mind or pops out of the woodwork. On May 30th, a Mars-Neptune coalition hints that your hard work will alleviate financial fears and may even offset a deficit.

PISCES

February 19–March 20

While Mars zings through your joy house all month, you’re filled with enthusiasm to do just as you please. You’re inclined to pursue creative fulfillment, romance, hobbies and whatever else makes you happy. You might take a chance on love and make the first move with someone you’re attracted to. On the 3rd, a Mercury-Jupiter scuffle suggests a conversation or piece of information will feed your private hopes and increase self-awareness; keep trying to connect with people and be an attentive listener. The sun and Saturn are also scuffling that day, so the need to finish something could be weighing on your mind and keeping you from feeling present in the moment. You’ll feel better if you tie up loose ends. If doubt, melancholy, fear or regret cast a cloud over your speech and your encounters with others, pausing to edit what you’re going to say will work in your favor. But don’t stew over what you’ve already said and judge yourself! Venus clicks with Pluto on May 6th, giving group relations a boost. Mingling can yield influential contacts, while hanging out with friends can deepen your bond. Mutual affection and support will bring you closer to your squad, while telling a particular person how you feel can transform your friendship. When Venus gets entangled with Jupiter on the 8th, an optimistic mindset and pleasant encounters could precipitate a desire to help others who are less fortunate than you. You might build someone up in your head, though, if fondness turns into fantasy. Love with true acceptance, not hopeful illusion. Your lens isn’t objective now, and you may need to tell yourself that nothing is exactly as it appears. On the 13th, Jupiter blazes into Pisces, kicking off a two-and-a-half-month period of personal growth for Fishes! Jupiter last toured your sign in 2010, lending you loads of optimism and inviting you to envision all the possibilities of who you could become. This is your time to seize opportunities, have new experiences and learn more about yourself and what you can accomplish. If you don’t feel like you’re on your true path, experimenting and exploring can put you in touch with your higher purpose. Don’t wait for things to come to you; look for chances to grow, then grab hold of them. Your enthusiasm, confidence and taste for freedom will keep your spirits soaring, and you can inspire people around you. On the 17th, the sun’s conference with Pluto favors socializing and networking and reminds you there’s strength in numbers. You could have a striking experience with your friends or meet an important contact — so reach out! When Venus gels with Saturn on May 19th, enjoying the comforts of home or the company of family will help you make peace with where you’re at in your life and appreciate what — and whom — you can depend on. The sun provokes Jupiter in Pisces on the 21st, so a good mood can convince you to try new things. You may feel comfortable enough in your own skin to really take chances, but there’s a possibility that you’re conflicted between staying in your comfort zone and going out on a limb (or between enjoying quiet time and being extra gregarious). If you find your attention is split between the past and the future, try drawing teaching moments from your personal history in an effort to move forward. Avoid sinking into your feelings. Whatever emotional state you’re in, use it as fuel for growth. And resist the impulse to overreact if wires get crossed with family members or roomies. Speaking of crossed wires with relatives and roommates, Mercury duels with Neptune the next day, making it even trickier to communicate with those people. On the 23rd, Saturn’s retrograde spin can convince you to embrace solitude and delve further into the internal journey you’re on. Keep working to come to terms with the past. Be selective about who gets beyond your personal boundaries. Process old feelings in search of closure. And go digging for treasure in your imagination. On the 26th, a lunar eclipse shakes the peak of your chart. You could achieve a major goal, find yourself in the spotlight or land a promotion. Be ready to put your best foot forward. If authority figures seem testy, tread lightly. One chapter of your career might come to a close now. Venus and Neptune can’t see eye to eye on the 27th, tempting you to overdo escapist pleasures. You might be decorating or socializing with people you live with and end up disappointed in the outcome. It’s important to appreciate imperfect joys now. When you feel out of it, that can prevent you from relishing your free time. Perhaps you’re uncertain of your feelings and putting out murky signals without realizing it. Try your best to understand how you’re coming across. When Mercury goes off the grid on the 29th, life on the home front gets a little more confusing. If you feel misunderstood when trying to articulate your feelings, you might want to stick to introspection. This is a good time to ruminate on private emotions, rethink your living situation and reconnect with family. You’re likely to wander down memory lane in your head and speak with a tinge of nostalgia in the next few weeks. Fortunately, Mars meshes with Neptune on the 30th, producing harmony that will ease self-expression. You can convey your emotions, creativity and personality and feel seen and understood. Have the courage to put yourself out there that day!

ARIES

March 21–April 19

Your ruler, Mars, is rocketing across the base of your chart throughout May, generating a flurry of activity around the house. You could tackle a domestic project or keep very busy working from home. You might feel prickly, particularly around family and people you live with. Keeping an eye on your mood can help avert compulsive behavior. Mercury squares off with Jupiter on the 3rd, which might motivate you to make a generous donation that benefits others. You could also figure out how to use resources to help a team endeavor flourish. Just be mindful of the fact that your thinking about money and possessions differs from group expectations at the moment. A sun-Saturn clash that day could also pit personal values against group interests or make you feel inferior to people. Don’t measure your own worth by the standards of others. But do solicit constructive criticism. Your responsibilities in a collaboration can feel burdensome, and you might think an affiliation is costing you too much. This serious transit can compel you to figure out what something is worth to you. On May 6th, a Venus-Pluto combo links a shift in your professional path or life direction with your ability to draw in what you need. Creative talents can help you achieve a goal or make your mark. Invest in your career now, even if that simply translates to pouring more passion into it. Venus’s dustup with Jupiter on the 8th warns you not to finagle your way with others who are liable to have their own priorities. Your personal desires may not dovetail with the greater good at the moment. Then on May 13th, Jupiter sneaks into your release-and-retreat zone, where it will hibernate for the next few months, asking you to relinquish some control and just drift. You’ll need peace and quiet to rest and reflect and should tune into the wisdom of your soul. Your subconscious can make itself known through dreams, psychotherapy and spiritual practice, which will free your emotions and teach you inner truths. Let go of anything — and anyone — that doesn’t serve your growth. Accept mistakes, flaws and losses. Cultivate compassion for yourself and others. This Jupiter placement underscores the fact that we’re all connected. Let your imagination run wild and incubate ideas below the radar in preparation for future enterprises. This is also an excellent time to study a metaphysical subject that resonates with you. When the sun vibes with Pluto on the 17th, putting your resources to good use can fuel your ambition. You need to tap into your full trove of talents in your quest to reach your goals. When you make headway in your profession or life, the resulting feeling of strength will fuel your confidence. Two days later, Venus cozies up to Saturn, enabling you to remain upbeat, give others the benefit of the doubt, use your social skills and enjoy what you can accomplish when you forge strong connections. When the sun and Jupiter clash on the 21st, you could overshare or buy into a too-good-to-be-true idea. You’re very impressionable now and will need to filter information if you want to avoid getting sucked in. The good news is you can learn something spiritual or something about yourself if you keep your antenna up and ask the right questions. Mercury’s tension with Neptune the next day, on the other hand, suggests that spiritual questioning and longing may interfere with rational thoughts and exchanges. You might have an air of distraction and find yourself daydreaming or wandering off on a tangent while talking. However, intuition and sensitivity can add depth to your speech. With Saturn going rogue on May 23rd, you’ll begin to consider group ties, friendships, career contacts and the various roles you play in other people’s lives. Ask yourself what needs to change for them to flourish. How are they already changing? Are there toxic connections you need to sever? Are you setting firm boundaries? Professional networking, team efforts and social-media endeavors could be in limbo until October. Don’t fight the necessity of pressing pause; instead, learn what you need to know to have success in those areas. On the 26th, the lunar eclipse in your expansion corner stimulates an urge to rise above your everyday routine and push the envelope. You still may not have as many options as you want when it comes to travel and adventure. But with a little ingenuity, you can experience some difference. Taking a leap of faith will scratch the itch and open up your world. A legal matter, publishing project, entrepreneurial venture or educational path may reach a climax now. Note that this lunation represents your annual excuse to banish a limiting belief from your mind. When Venus struggles with Neptune on May 27th, you could succumb to a tinge of nostalgia, loneliness, melancholy or doubt. It’s hard to stay in the moment and relish the happiness, beauty and love around you. But you can take pleasure in day-to-day life if you truly want to. Don’t repress your feelings. Just relax and notice warm interactions and pretty surroundings. Acknowledge what’s going on inside you. Try a spiritual practice to see if that helps. Once Mercury goes retrograde on the 29th, you’ll really need your sense of humor and all the patience you can muster. Put off signing paperwork, making major decisions and having important talks until at least June 22nd. Mars joins forces with Neptune on the 30th, which will help you to produce highly creative work and unpack emotional baggage. Nothing like ending the month on a positive note!
