Aries   

March 21 – April 19 

Your social life looks like it will be very busy at this time. Reaching out to others can encourage you to get to know certain people better, whether in terms of a business relationship or a budding romance. Also, you might feel moved to make a decision regarding a creative venture. If you've already put this off for too long, this could be the week you get started. Finally, a shimmering blend of energies midweek could be perfect for romance.

  

Taurus 

May 21 - Jun 20 

As Mercury pushes ahead on May 3, it could coincide with a jolt of awareness that enables you to come to terms with an issue that has confused you for some time. This revelation could lead to inner change and a chance to transform thoughts and feelings so that they're aligned more closely with the outcome you desire. Also, a lovely link between the Sun and Neptune can be perfect for a first date or rekindling the flame of romance.

  

Gemini 

May 21 - Jun 20 

This week's good news is that your ruler Mercury pushes forward on May 3 in your sector of friendship and community. This could coincide with an unexpected opportunity that you may have turned down earlier, much to your chagrin. It seems that it may come around again for you, and this would be the time to grab it. On another note, listening to your intuition or dreams could bring guidance on a career matter, especially if you're facing more than one option.

  

Cancer 

Jun 21 - Jul 22 

A Quarter Moon can encourage you to move in new circles, even if your values and ideals differ widely. Opening your mind to new ideas can lead to new friendships and opportunities you may never have considered before. At the same time, with Mercury pushing forward in your sector of career and ambition, you may find that the pace speeds up regarding a business venture or career plan. Even so, it would be just as well to expect the unexpected around May 3.

  

Leo 

Jul 23 - Aug 22 

A powerful lunar phase midweek can be an opportunity to make a decision about a key ambition. If this is something you've put off recently, events could act as a catalyst, motivating you to step outside your comfort zone. And with Mercury forging ahead in your sector of travel, go easy for a few more days. Delays can still occur for a little while after Mercury turns direct. On another note, you may have a very tender spot for a co-worker.

  

Virgo 

Aug 23 – Sep 22 

Though you know you should be careful with your money, a lively blend of energies could encourage you to spend the cash anyway. And with Mercury turning direct and forging a link with innovative Uranus, you might be attracted to a new gadget that could revolutionize your life. However, if it really is on expensive side, it likely won't hurt you to wait. On a tender note, the middle to the end of the week can be perfect for a delectable date.

 

Libra 

Sep 23 - Oct 22 

A friend or loved one could spring a surprise on you, particularly midweek. If a plan has seemed set in stone, things could change over the days ahead and require you to be flexible. With Mercury pushing ahead in your sector of relating, there will likely be fewer misunderstandings and more chances for constructive exchanges. Much as you may want to reach out and help others, you'll need to be firm if you need time to recharge your batteries.

  

Scorpio 

Oct 23 - Nov 21 

Be prepared for one or two disruptions this week that could actually work in your favor. An unexpected event could jolt you out of your complacency and encourage you to get moving in order to salvage an opportunity or embrace an idea that has positive consequences for you. With Mercury pushing forward as of May 3, you may find that delays at work or concerning computing equipment gradually sort themselves out, enabling you to get on with the job.

 

Sagittarius 

Nov 22 - Dec 21 

A surprise invitation could encourage you to explore new leisure options, and if they include a dash of danger and some thrills and spills, you'll be even more enthused. With Mercury dancing forward as of May 3 you could find that a relationship that seemed to have stalled now begins to look livelier. You and another could have great chemistry, but at this stage it might be best to keep things lighthearted. Finally, comfort food could call out to you, so go easy.

 

Capricorn 

Dec 22 - Jan 19 

The Sun continues through your leisure sector, encouraging you to take the time to explore your hobbies and passions. A lovely blend of energies this week could also encourage a new romance. And, if you're willing to make the first move, a first date could be delightful. In addition, with Mercury pushing forward in your domestic sector, any delays related to your home or family may now begin to ease. When it comes to staying healthy, exercise that keeps you flexible is key.

  

Aquarius 

Jan 20 - Feb 18 

With a focus on your home and family sector, you may feel like taking a step back from life and enjoying a little self-care. This can be very good for you, as you've probably had a very busy few weeks and need this chance to unwind. In addition, Mercury turns direct midweek, which can allow you to push ahead with any projects that have been on the back burner. At the same time, an exciting opportunity could open up for you.

  

Pisces 

Feb 19 - Mar 20 

Although Mercury, the planet of talk and thought, forges ahead midweek after its retrograde phase, it might be just as well to avoid splurging and impulsive spending, particularly over the next two weeks. A lovely aspect could encourage you and another to draw closer, perhaps as a result of confiding in each other. Whether this is a friendship or romance, you could find that something special develops between you that leads to a strong and supportive bond in the future.
