Your horoscope from May 21 to 27, 2015

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      We’re only a few days into Mercury retrograde. Have you noticed yet?

      The sun’s entrance into Gemini on Thursday is accompanied by a stack of other planetary aspects, most notably Venus in opposition to Pluto. This mix is desirous and driven. It’s a money-in-motion, power-play, and sexcapade combination.

      Saturn rules the show on Friday. If you’ve taken the time to build it right, the day should deliver. Whether the finish line is a goal post or a stop sign, it’s not so much about the end but about what’s cleared out of the way and where it leads to next. Sun/Saturn marks a time-is-ripe moment.

      The moon is in Leo for the weekend, so aim to load up on pleasure, play, and flirting. A fun part of Mercury retrograde is reconnecting and bumping into people unexpectedly.

      Monday is also loaded. Venus square Uranus makes for an on-the-go morning, while Mars square Neptune can mean a write-it-off afternoon. It’s easy to veer off course; both transits can dish up the unexpected. Stay vigilant, don’t take unnecessary risks, and double-check everything, especially those blind-spot areas. This advice also applies to Wednesday and Thursday. Although Tuesday’s Virgo moon is helpful for the move-along, Mercury retrograde is fanned by Mars on Wednesday and conjuring with Neptune on Thursday. Something could fire up, go snap, or be lost in translation.

      Aries
      March 20 - April 20

      Places to go, things to do, objectives/quotas to meet; Thursday/Friday, the big push is on. Don’t let stress be the fuel in your tank. Saturday/Sunday, get your pleasure fill. Reconnections are delightful—there’s no end to the conversation. Monday can be an all-over-the-map, Mercury-retrograde type of day. The morning is for action, the afternoon for rolling with it. Tuesday/Wednesday is productive or corrective.

      Taurus
      April 20 - May 21

      It’s a battle Thursday/Friday. There may be a difficult tradeoff, a reality to face, or a payment to make. The crunch or overload can catch up with you, but as of Saturday, you’re already on the upswing. Don’t scrimp on your weekend. Make it a gift to yourself; you deserve it. Monday’s good intentions may not see follow-through. So be it.

      Gemini
      May 21 - June 21

      You’ve got more than the usual to contend with, but you have little choice but to keep at it until you get to where you need and want to be. Past Friday, the block is surpassed, the goal is reached, and/or you’re off the hook. Saturday/Sunday brings a welcome change of pace/scenery. Monday onward can dish up something unexpected or overlooked. Tuesday/Wednesday, Mars/Mercury hits full-on.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      Emotions run the show, especially through Friday. Thursday’s Venus/Pluto makes for irresistible attraction or urges. Obsession can get the better of you. Friday’s sun/Saturn seals the deal or at the very least gives you more to go on. The weekend is a confidence-builder. Take a risk or try something new; it’ll get you somewhere good. Monday clues you in or reroutes you unexpectedly.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 23

      Thursday keeps you on a push/pull, but by Friday you’ll have earned your wings. Planned or on spontaneity’s timetable, the Leo moon keeps you going strong over the weekend. Reconnections push the refresh button quite nicely. Monday calls for reading between the lines. Pay close attention—you could miss or forget something. Tuesday/Wednesday forces quick action or a cut-to-the-chase conversation.

      Virgo
      August 23 - September 23

      Venus/Pluto keeps the intensity going ahead of the weekend. You’ll be challenged to stay on top of it Friday, but give it ample time and Saturn will reward your effort. An escape or romance weekend is ideal. On Monday, it’s time to get caught up with yourself. Tuesday through Thursday, you can make fast and relatively easy gain. Confidence and ambition pay off.

      Libra
      September 23 - October 23

      Thursday is an onslaught. By Friday, you’ve earned your freedom. Whether you have a special event to attend or you play it by ear, the weekend is designed for pleasure and treating yourself right. Socializing and romance get a big check mark too. On Monday, impulsiveness or surprise could rule the day. Tuesday/Wednesday calls for quick thinking and/or quick action. Tell it like it is.

      Scorpio
      October 23 - November 22

      Leading into the weekend, added pressure, juggling, or expense is unavoidable. Catering is in order too, but you’ll find a way to make it win/win. Friday through Sunday, you’ll work through, accomplish, or gain more than you anticipate. While things are going well for the most part, something’s on brew. Monday through Wednesday, it can strike a match or get under your skin.

      Sagittarius
      November 22 - December 21

      You’ll feel it deeply, perhaps more than you let on. Thursday/Friday, a relationship bond, trust, or contract can be cemented or ended. Saturday/Sunday, you’re feeling mighty fine. Even though Mercury is retrograde, an important financial decision or transaction appears to be in the works. If the timing is right, it’s right. Still, Monday to Wednesday, there’s something extra or unforeseen to contend with.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 20

      Wants/needs, boundaries/budgets, emotions/cravings—coping skills are tested on Thursday. You’ll get a better handle on it Friday. Patience and diligence lead to reward. It’s an opportune weekend to revisit, reconnect, or repeat a success. Monday runs the gamut. Even though Mercury is retrograde, the week ahead keeps it rolling well. Mars/Mercury hits the target Tuesday/Wednesday.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      Handling things can be stressful Thursday, but by Friday you can sign off on the work. The sun, Mars, and Mercury retrograde in Gemini boost connectivity, pleasure, play, success, and romance prospects. The next week or two takes you on a karmic repeat or re-meet, perhaps short-lived. Be here now.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 20

      Whether it’s jealousy, romance, a sexual encounter, ambition, or obsession, Thursday’s Venus/Pluto taps potent emotions. Friday’s sun/Saturn is appropriate for paperwork and contract revisions, conversation revisitations, a short trip, and switching tracks. Through mid next week, past and future can collide. Mercury retrograde can ignite a déjà-vu feeling.
