Weekly 4 to 10 May

We continue to balance the polarity of Taurus and Scorpio this week. Creation and Destruction. We let go, we cut, we clear and till fresh soil. Mars spends his last week in Taurus pushing through some of our most stubborn ruts.

Beauty is our raison d'être.

Aries:

The emotional intensity is finally starting to wane a bit this week, Aries. You’ve faced some of your deepest fears, compliments of last Sunday’s Full Moon. This week you’ll be seeking refuge by staying close to home. Spending time with family or with friends in the security of your own turf, proves especially comforting. Venus will leave your communication zone and inhabit the base of your horoscope for the next few weeks. This helps you get out of your head while sweetening your domestic world and connection to the past. The nostalgic phase will continue as Mercury gets ready to station for his retrograde phase mid-month.

Taurus:

You’re still in your solar glory this week—so shine on, baby! Plus, this is the last week you’ll have Mars amping up your stars, making it easy to plow through obstacles and take action on projects that would normally take you twice the amount of time to finish. Take advantage of this high energy mode and kick your most stubborn ruts. Your ruling planet, Venus will move out of your money zone and into your communication sector this week, so instead of blowing the bank, you’ll be coming up with new ways to make money and get your message out there to the public.

Gemini:

Your ruling planet is stationing to go retrograde next week but the slow-down starts now. You could easily feel all sorts of out of kilter in your head. Plus, you’re navigating a lunar opposition during the middle of the week that could put a strain on your energy levels. In general, this is an excellent time to retreat and take it easy for a change, Gemini. For you that means scaling it back from overdrive to cruise control. Use this time to catch your breath and delve into your dreams and imagination. Mercury and Venus are keeping it  eternally youthful in your twin- stars.

Cancer:

Life is about to get infinitely sweeter and more beautiful this week, Cancer. The planet of love is moving into your stars on Thursday to make relationships and connection a top priority. Your love of home and nostalgia is also highlighted so don’t be surprised if you take a trip down memory lane (your go-to destination). The focus is still on your social zone as well over the next week, so expect to be busy, busy, busy— and lovingly surrounded by friends and colleagues. If all the mixing and mingling has you wanting to crawl back in your shell, know that next week is perfect for a homebody retreat.

Leo:

You’ve been moving and grooving at a rather insane pace lately, Leo. You’re so ready to slow it up a bit and catch your breath. Mercury is getting ready to station retrograde in your social zone which should put a temporary suspension on all of the frenzy. Plus, Venus is moving out of your friends sector and into your house of sleep and dreams inviting you to rest, relax and retreat into the healing sanctum of your inner world for the next few weeks. A little vacation out in the woods or near the water might just be just the thing, darling.

Virgo:

If you’ve been hustling to the point of burnout, this is your week to hit the pause button, Virgo. Your ruling planet is slowing way down, and so should you. Mercury will be going retrograde next week and this time calls for mellowing your pace long enough to collect your thoughts and reorganize your professional priorities. Don’t allow distractions to throw you off your mark, you’re so close to getting clear on what you really want. Venus will move into your house of long-term goals and friendships to bring you back in touch with the ones that most support your dreams.

Libra:

This week brings a welcome reprieve from the recent emotional drama that likely had your emotional and financial life in a tizzy. Balance is less of an elusive dream now that you’re learning the importance of structure and consistency in your daily routine. Your ruling planet will be moving up to the top of your horoscope on Thursday to sweeten your career zone for the next weeks. Do what you love and the money will follow is certainly no cliche, darling. You are living proof that if your mind and heart come first, the success is a given. Inspire others to do the same.

Scorpio:

Now that you’ve survived your annual Full Moon of drama and letting go, it's time to pick up the pieces and start the six-month rebirth process, Scorpio. You’re totally the phoenix rising up from some ash this week, so don’t be afraid to spread your wings and embrace the new sky. Venus will move into your house of long-distance adventure for the next few weeks to further support this phase of growth, renewal and expansion. Plus, Mercury is stationing in your house of transformation for a powerful retrograde cycle that promises to put you in touch with your most resourceful mental assets.

Sagittarius:

Your world of relationships is about to become mighty interesting over the next several weeks, Sadge. Watch for cues and clues that start now, especially while the Moon is in your stars mid-week. The planet of communication (Mercury) which also governs your house of partners is about to hit the retrograde skids which means some serious replay action in the love department. Lessons that didn’t quite hit home the first time around are on their way back for second-helpings. Consider this your second chance and the do-over you’ve been wishing for. You can and will get it right this time, darling.

Capricorn:

The focus of the week is split between work and relationships. Mercury is slowing down in your house of daily ritual and health to bring more awareness and attention to your habits and wellness routines over the next several weeks. Look at what works and what interferes with your state of mental peace and make the necessary adjustments. Next week brings the Mercury Retrograde so start backing up your gadgets now. The planet of love and beauty (Venus) is moving into your house of partnerships on Thursday to bring more sweetness to your one-to-ones.

Aquarius:

If you’ve been feeling a bit blah about your daily routine, Venus is coming to sweeten things up this week. Thursday starts a new cycle where you can bring the love and beauty back into your schedule and health regimens. Life should feel infinitely more creative and fulfilling under this influence. Mercury, the communication planet is about to slow down and go retrograde in your house of love and pleasure, so you’re preparing to cover old ground. Old lovers or creative projects could be making a re-appearance as early as this week, Aquarius. Will you let them back in?

Pisces:

The passionate energies are starting to abate and there is a sense of sweetness and calm returning to your world this week, Pisces. You’re ready to re-center and get focused on your mental and emotional priorities now. The love and beauty planet will leave the base of your horoscope and move into your love and pleasure zone for the next several weeks. It’s your job to enjoy yourself fully during this cycle, darling. And yes, this means not taking care of everyone else at the expense of having any time left over to pursue your own interests and joy.
