Written in the Stars - Week of May 1


Diamond in the Sky — The planets have aligned in a rare diamond shape, with several planets opposing a Plutonian base. The goal is to create something unique and lasting from the incredible pressure we feel now: figure out how to make gravity work for you. Turn your coal into diamonds.

ARIES
March 21 — April 19
You may be feeling a bit more frenetic than usual this week, Aries. Your ruler, Mars, is being inundated with messages from mental Mercury, powerful Pluto, jovial Jupiter and charming Venus. A minor revolution is called for when it comes to your career plans — some sweet talk could hook you investors, supporters or the material or monetary resources you need to push your plans forward. Set up meetings or interviews now. With all this stellar kerfuffle, make sure to pay attention to details along the way so you don't end wasting time correcting errors. Above all, have fun with it.

TAURUS
April 20 — May 20
It's a good time to be you, Taurus. You're still getting a major boost from the planetary trio in your House of Personality, so you're looking and sounding good. Just be sure you put up some healthy boundaries and save time for yourself and your own wants and needs now. With your ruler beckoning sweetly in your House of Money, you can expect surprise gifts or good news when it comes to your finances. Your home and family are a source of joy now — go on an adventure with them. It doesn't have to cost you anything. Your stars say new horizons bring you luck. Set sail.

GEMINI
May 21 — June 21
You're a real powerhouse this week, Gemini, if you can stop questioning your worth and/or skills long enough to embrace it. Venus is blessing your House of Self, making you seem more charming and attractive. Jupiter is emboldening your House of Communication, bringing you luck when you are willing to speak bravely to others about what you want, and what you're capable of. The Stellium in your House of Secrets and the Past can bring up insecurities and fears about what you have to offer — but you are more than enough. Go forward fearlessly. 

CANCER
June 22 — July 22
As the nurturer of the zodiac, Cancer, you don't often need to be reminded of the value of your relationships. Yet this week, your stars say that transformations are unfolding across your life when it comes to all sorts of partners and allies, and it benefits you to pay attention to the reasons for them. The change is forecast to be beneficial, and with Venus soothing your House of Secrets and the Past, you may also be able to lay some old issues or grievances to rest and move forward with a new lightness and optimism. Breathe out the old and welcome the new.

LEO
July 23 — Aug. 22
What magnificent vision and imagination you have, Leo! These qualities are essential to your success — and yet, they're full of potential energy, when what your stars demand is movement. Take concrete steps toward your dreams this week, or else you'll face the consequences. Granted, these just may be frustration, deflation or further delays. But with chart energy this good, you'd be foolish to waste your time fiddling with old ideas and dead dreams. Pluto is filling your House of Work with power — steps taken now become leaps and bounds down the road. Get to it.  

VIRGO
Aug. 23 — Sept. 22
You get a bad rap sometimes, Virgo, for being the critic and nitpicker of the zodiac. I can't deny the validity of that statement, but I can certainly say that there are plenty of you who allow your critiques to propel you forward rather than use them as an excuse to hold back. Have you been keeping a plan or project under wraps because you feel that it isn't perfect yet? Your chart forecasts a huge explosion when it comes to your personal expression in the near future. Are you ready to be recognized for what you alone can do and create? Stop worrying and do.

LIBRA
Sept. 23 — Oct. 22
No one craves or cultivates equilibrium and peace like you, Libra, and yet your challenge is to bring that sense of balance to yourself, not to seek it externally. Your House of Home and Foundation is undergoing a transformation, with Pluto digging up the floor under your feet. This excavation will prove two things: life doesn't end when upheaval occurs, and you're readier for a whole new world than you think. Great passion, thrills and excitement are forecast — everything you do now will be imbued with adventure and intensity. Prepare yourself; welcome the wave. 

SCORPIO
Oct. 23 — Nov. 21
You're a master of subterfuge, Scorpio. There's a reason you have the most intense and feared reputation of all the signs in the zodiac — you've got a lot of power, and not only that, you know how to wield it with incredible subtlety. Your ruler, Pluto, is is staging a coup in your House of Communication, demanding that you make your voice heard. (It will be heard, and loudly, one way or the other, so it's best that you make a conscious decision to embrace this fact.) Disputes are possible, but they can be resolved healthily when you speak the truth. Accept your power. 

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 — Dec. 21
What do you value, Sagittarius, in life? In your possessions, in your friends, in yourself? Pluto is asking a lot of tough questions in your House of Resources, demanding that you get clear on what you want out of life, and out of yourself. You can expect sudden changes, overhauls and breakdowns when it comes to the way you get what you want. Take heart! Your chart has unlocked many doors for you, but it's up to you to step outside of your bounds, open those doors and step through. You have some great "get things done" energy right now. Tackle to-dos to make more time for you.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 — Jan. 19
You've got the most to gain from this diamond in the sky, Capricorn. Its foundation, Pluto, is dictating from your House of Self, indicating that if you are willing to put your unique talents, ideas and sense of self on display, you stand to win big. With the Stellium lighting up your House of Creativity simultaneously, it can't be denied that you have a very personal project that you want — need? — to share with the world. More than a project: a message. If you had 30 uninterrupted seconds on a worldwide soapbox, what would you take the chance to say? Say it.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 — Feb. 18
Do you believe in ghosts, Aquarius? I don't mean the ghoulish sort, but the really scary kind — those that haunt your mind and heart. Pluto is digging up graves in your House of Secrets and the Past, so you may be confronted with the shadow of times or memories that try your soul. The only way to release a ghost is to look it square in the eyes, acknowledge it and release it. Banish it if you must, but your stars say that all that's required is your willingness to let it go. Once you let some dead weight go, energy is unleashed inside you to build your new, beautiful life. Ready?

PISCES
Feb. 19 — March 20
Don't take it personally, Pisces. Any of it. Pluto is anchored in your House of Allies and Associations, indicating that you could be overwhelmed by some demands or actions of members of your inner circle. Or you may find yourself suddenly obsessed with becoming part of some club, or leaving it. The key is to remain "above it all" in that dreamy way you have — the tie that most deserves your allegiance is your own sense of joy and honor. If you're forced to play your hand rather than keep it close, your words will be succinct and powerful. Breathe deeply, be honest and be yourself.
