Whether you tackle home and garden projects or aim for well-deserved respite, the long weekend is ideal for your catch-up program.

Joining Venus and Jupiter, Mercury begins a quick trek through social Gemini. On Victoria Day (May 20), the sun’s advance increases the total to four planets in the fleet-footed sign. Gemini is a networker, deal maker, newsmaker, and trendsetter archetype. Expect the rest of the month to keep life clipping right along.

Sandwiched between two eclipses, Victoria Day marks the third peak of the ground-shifting Uranus/Pluto transit. The fourth peak will occur on November 1, and three more are yet to come. A dominant influence through 2015, Uranus/Pluto will alter each of our lives in some radical way.

In more immediate terms, Monday or the days nearby can produce striking headlines or something unexpected in our personal lives. Watch for an acceleration of circumstances, a breakthrough, or sudden clarity. Supportive stars suggest there are good opportunities for the taking. It can be a decisive time for political or corporate agendas, sports, and other competitions. Whether the start of the week is eventful for you or not, please note that the Uranus/Pluto transit is an ongoing one. Evolution is a process, and we are in the thick of it now. Something from 1974 or 1995 can be completing a full circle now.

Next Friday, the super full moon delivers the last of three eclipses in a row. Stay alert.

Aries
March 19 - April 19

Face it, take the plunge, and get on with it. Once you do, you should find that it was well timed, easier, and more productive than you imagined. As of Monday/Tuesday, you’ll switch onto a fresh page. Four planets now tenanting social Gemini offer greater opportunities to connect and communicate through the month’s end. Next Friday’s lunar eclipse delivers you to your destination.

Taurus
April 19 - May 20

Whether the vehicle is play or work, aim to make the best use of this long weekend. Your activities and ambitions should hit their targets well.

Don’t dwell on loss—your options are increasing.

Gemini
May 20 - June 20

Pleasure, indulgence, and attention-seeking are the right aims for this long weekend. You should already feel a strong boost from Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter in Gemini. By Monday, the sun shines on you too. People come, people go. Along with a prod from Uranus/Pluto and Chiron, it’s an optimal time to leap with head, heart, and both feet.

Cancer
June 20 - July 22

A get-away-from-it-all week­­end to reflect and replenish is just what the doctor ordered. Come Tuesday, aim to hit the ground running.

It requires that you rip the bandage off and face the risk head on.

Leo
July 22 - August 22

Thursday/Friday, the Leo moon advocates a spontaneous approach. Spend to make yourself happy; say yes to the extra. You’ll be in long weekend mode before it begins.

Yes, you can—and you will.

Virgo
August 22 - September 22

The end of the workweek can see you quietly plugging away, but come the weekend you’ll be ready for a change. Saturday/Sunday, call the shots and follow your instincts.

Uranus/Pluto continues to speed you along a personal, relationship, or financial breakthrough track.

Libra
September 22 - October 22

A social and upbeat end to the workweek hits it just right. Saturday/Sunday, you are likely to relish out of sight and/or out of mind.

If it excites or delights you, go for it.

Scorpio

Next week, test-drive a new agenda or angle.
