Your Horoscope For The Week Of May 1

TAURUS

You may have been feeling unpleasant at the whim of other peoples emotions or circumstances over the past few weeks. Now events finally start to feel a bit more predictable. Mercury comes out of its three-week retrograde period on Wednesday and you will find clarity about something that you have been of two minds about. The sun in your sign also makes a beautiful sextile to sensitive Neptune on Wednesday, and you will reconnect with an old friend you adore. Thursday and Friday the moon are in your zone of true love and romance so the weekend comes early! Take it a little easier on Saturday and Sunday, and relish some time in nature. 

GEMINI

If changes of plan and a overall mild sense of confusion have been dominant recently, you may have felt like this is the new norm! But fear not — after Mercury finally starts going direct again on Wednesday, you will slowly start to feel like you are more in the driver’s seat with what is happening around you. A beautiful sextile from the sun to inspiring Neptune on Wednesday will also give you a big boost of creative momentum at work. Rest up on Thursday and Friday when the moon is in your zone of home and privacy. Especially because Saturday and Sunday are super social and romantic, days when you’ll want to be out and about, flirting up a storm. 

CANCER

The drama and confusion surrounding work, and your larger sense of purpose in general, has been intolerable recently and you may be rightly concerned about whether there is an end in sight. Things get a lot better after this week when Mercury finally goes direct on Wednesday in your career sector. By mid-month, you will realize that everything has been for the best! In the meantime, lean on your friends and try some fun new activities to keep you busy and inspired. Gather up your troops for a fun night on Friday, but also make time to chill and pamper yourself this weekend.

LEO

One minute you are super sure of what you want, and then the next minute something comes along and makes you re-think everything! The past few months have been both exciting and confusing, and you will gain some perspective this week, after Mercury finally goes direct on Wednesday. Your financial instincts are right on target now too, especially where work is concerned, so trust yourself. The moon is in your zone of friends and neighborhood social activities on Saturday and Sunday, so have fun mixing and mingling with new and old friends this weekend. 

VIRGO

The past few weeks, and months, have been super intense. But you are becoming super clear on what you do and don’t want in your life moving forward, especially after Mercury finally starts going direct on Wednesday. Make peace with the past and turn over a new leaf. Trust that new people and fresh relationships are waiting in the wings to support you. The moon in your sign on Thursday and Friday gives you some extra sparkle so plan date nights and parties for then. Take it easy this weekend, or treat yourself to something you’ve had your eye on forever. 

LIBRA

You tend to be a very patient person, but even your patience has been tested recently. People will start acting at least slightly more rational after Wednesday when Mercury finally goes direct after a three-week retrograde. Some people may have proven they are unreliable, in which case trust your instincts, especially where financial matters and work are concerned. Take some time to rest and reassess things on Thursday and Friday when the moon is in your zone of privacy. But get out of the house on Saturday and Sunday since the moon in your sign makes you the belle of the ball. 

SCORPIO

Work has been both exciting and unpredictable recently, but things will start smoothing out significantly after Wednesday, when Mercury finally comes out of retrograde. Your relationships are also hot hot hot right now. The sun makes a lovely sextile to romantic Neptune in your zone of true love and romance on Wednesday and if you are single, sparks fly. If you’re attached, pamper your love with attention. The moon in your zone of friendship on Thursday and Friday urges you to reconnect with your peeps. But take it easy this weekend and plan a pampering staycation. 

SAGITTARIUS

Life has been exciting and rather dramatic recently, but if you have been getting mixed messages from others, things will finally start to smooth out after Mercury finally goes direct on Wednesday. A new love interest could even pop up unexpectedly! And pay attention to any creative ideas you have for beautifying your home since it will give you great satisfaction to perfect your living situation right now. Thursday and Friday are great days for work. But you have the opportunity to meet new people you adore this weekend through mutual friends, so get out and about.

CAPRICORN

“When will this drama finally be over?” You may have been pondering this for quite some time, and at last, this week starts to turn things around. On Wednesday, Mercury finally comes out of its three-week retrograde, and family or home-related situations that have been driving you up the wall will finally start sorting themselves out. In a few weeks, you will be home free. Creativity is ripe this week, especially where creative or artistic ideas are concerned. Friday night is prime night for an adventure, but all eyes will be on you on Saturday so don’t get too carried away. 

AQUARIUS

There have been some pretty major communications meltdowns in your life recently (thanks Mercury retrograde!) but things finally start to chill out this week. Mercury resumes its direct motion on Wednesday and you can easily smooth over any ruffled feathers. Things are flowing very harmoniously with finances and domestic situations right now so let your pragmatism and intuition guide you. The moon in detail-oriented Virgo on Friday will have you showering your loved ones with attention. But social Libra dominates the vibes on Saturday night so hit the town and try something new. 

PISCES

Financial drama, and unexpected events, have been wearing you down for the past few weeks, but you have been slowly regaining your sense of control and direction. After Mercury finally starts going direct again on Wednesday, you will know where you stand, and how much you can afford to spend. A gorgeous sextile from the sun to your ruler, mystical Neptune, on the same day also gives you a big boost of creative confidence. The moon in your opposite sign of Virgo on Thursday and Friday makes those nights ideal for romance, so get social and meet some new people. 

ARIES

Your life has been a veritable rollercoaster recently, and you finally get some relief and clarity this week. Mercury has been retrograde in your sign, making you feel all over the place. But on Wednesday, Mercury finally starts going direct again. You are finally starting to regain your clear sense of purpose. Keep your feet planted, and don’t push situations. Things will work out as they are supposed to. The moon in organized Virgo on Thursday and Friday will help you stay organized. But Saturday and Sunday are all about love, as the moon makes its monthly trip through your zone of relationships.
