Written in the Stars - Week of May 22



Venus Opposition Pluto — Sparks fly when the planet of love and beauty faces off against the planet of power and control. Intense flirtations, passionate encounters and mixed messages are forecast. Be vigilant. Don't try to manipulate others and don't allow yourself to be manipulated! 

ARIES
March 21 — April 19

You've got no problem walking the walk, Aries, but sometimes talking the talk is another matter. There's a party going on in your House of Communication, so it's time to make yourself heard, whether or not you think your audience is ready. As a matter of fact, obstacles are a given — but you're not faint of heart and your stars say that the challenge only whets your appetite. Still, be diplomatic. Matters are shifting in your House of Home as well, and Venus is lending you some charm to smooth over any tensions among your closest loved ones. Smile pretty and speak softly!

TAURUS
April 20 — May 20

You know that old saying about doors and windows, Taurus. If one is closed,  another opens, etc., etc. Well, this week you may be determined to plow your own way right through a wall if the universe doesn't get its act together fast enough for your taste. You feel like going in guns blazing, but you're likely to run into a few hold-ups — don't despair. You're getting some clear directions from the universe now — if there's a delay or outright kibosh on a plan, trust that path wasn't for you. You've got some recognition and rewards coming — don't shoot yourself in the foot.

GEMINI
May 21 — June 21

Smile pretty this week, Gemini, because you're bound to be noticed. With Mars, Mercury and the Sun powering up your House of Self, your ability to broadcast your thoughts, opinions and force of will is off the charts. And with Saturn putting limits on the help you get from partners for the next couple of months, you can be sure your stars want you to step up to the plate and accept a more powerful role. Be sure to cross your t's and dot your i's this week since your ruler is in retrograde. But don't let it stop you from speaking your mind — your stars favor your courage.

CANCER
June 22 — July 22

How much room do you give yourself in your own life, Cancer? As the mother of the zodiac, you're always the one to take others under your wing, take on additional projects, take home extra work. It's always take, take, take with you! (Can you hear my sarcasm?) This week, moonchild, it's essential that you let others carry their load. The reason is two-fold. Your stars have lots of good plans for you coming up and you'll need your time and energy to devote to them. Secondly, others will never learn if you keep "stealing" their lessons. Put yourself and your own work first.
LEO
July 23 — Aug. 22
Words are important and powerful, Leo, but they can't hold a candle to actions. Have you been over-promising or over-extending yourself, whether in your own mind, or to others? You may feel like tucking yourself away this week, a sure sign of the blues in the proud lion. A little space and time would benefit you now, as you need to synthesize some lessons from your recent past and incorporate them in your future moves. Jupiter is blessing your sign with luck and growth — but the stars only move the chess pieces around you. Now it's time to make your own move.

VIRGO
Aug. 23 — Sept. 22

Look around you, Virgo. Do you like where you stand? If not, you couldn't ask for better energy to start — here and now — turning things around. Your backward-strolling ruler, Mercury, is shacked up with Mars and the Sun, conspiring to turn back time in your House of Career and Destiny. They're arguing about which plans have worked and which have led you astray. Here's the real point, Virgo: If you keep doing the same thing, you keep getting the same result. Your stars forecast luck and expansion when you release the past and invest in your future.

LIBRA
Sept. 23 — Oct. 22

Things are moving in your life, Libra, whether you feel the change coming or not. You do have some choice in the matter and that choice is whether or not you are willing to go along for the ride. Dragging your feet hasn't done you any good so far — only bought you a little more time to fidget and bite your nails. Your stars are thrusting you forward onto a path to a new adventure. New income and opportunities are forecast, but to get them, you must have courage of conviction. Trust yourself and your skills — don't let anyone restrict your freedom.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23 — Nov. 21

Take a deep breath, Scorpio, in this silent space between your last deed accomplished and the next onslaught. Your stars are giving you a bit of room to consider your trajectory — are you feeling on path? When you consider the future, does it fill you with excitement, or dread? It's time to get serious about your material resources and consider how these and your personal skills can launch you ahead in the world. Saturn has moved from your House of Self into your House of Finances, easing off some of the pressure you've been under. Trust your judgment.

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 — Dec. 21

Time to wise up, Sagittarius. The planet of maturity and self-imposed limits, Saturn, has stepped out of your House of Secrets and back into your House of Self. What have you learned about yourself in the last two months, and how do those lessons reverberate through your past, your whole life? Your stars say that you have most certainly learned a lot — now it's up to you to synthesize that knowledge and make practical use of it. Your House of Partnerships is packed with power and passion — expect someone attractive to throw you for a loop.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 — Jan. 19

You don't have much use for glamour, Capricorn, though others are often star struck by your mental and verbal acumen. You've got a trio of power players in your House of Work, giving you new inspiration to re-think the way you run your life and consider whether you are being appreciated for what you bring to the table. And if you're not — do you attribute that to others, or yourself? Your stars say a long look in the mirror could yield some happy revelations that lead to greater satisfaction. Your wisest counsel is yourself now — dig out your old journal and start scribbling.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 — Feb. 18

The time has come for radical trust, Aquarius. Your House of Creative Expression is being lit up by an inspiring stellium made up of the shining Sun, mental Mercury and motivated Mars, who are BEGGING you to show the world what you've got, whether you think you're ready or not. Think of this as a planetary ultimatum. "Begin at the beginning." Take one step forward this week, and wait for your stars to give you the bright neon "KEEP GOING" sign. Have no doubt that you'll receive it. You'll be looked to for your personal insight this week — you have a lot to offer. So, give.

PISCES
Feb. 19 — March 20

Change is good, Pisces. Make it your mantra for the next few weeks, as your stars are promising to shake your foundations to their core. Don't be fearful — your courage and enthusiasm, and your willingness to welcome the unknown, are some of your finest traits. You're expressing yourself very well lately and financial rewards are set to roll in, in part because of your silver tongue, but also because of your generosity and willingness to heed inspiration when it calls. Your reputation is getting a spit-shine from Saturn, too — are you ready to meet the bigwigs?
