Weekly Horoscope: May 17 - 23

Horoscope for the Week: May 17 - 23, 2024 

Tip of the Week:

In this Universal 8-Year, we are reminded what the game of life is all about... power. Whether the reference is towards food or fuel, turf or territory, love, or life itself, the reality of duality is all about having, achieving, obtaining, expressing, giving, sharing… power. 

I will explore and expand upon this understanding and many more in my upcoming Masterclass: Numerology for Life, which takes place on Saturday, June 1st. I invite you to attend and you will go away awakened with illuminating insights and a tool you can use for the rest of your life.

Mercury entered Taurus on May 15, joining forces there with the Sun, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus to produce a sign stellium. This is quite in keeping with the garden and planting season, here in the upper latitudes. 

By May 17, Mercury will form a bi-annual square with Pluto, which is currently in Aquarius. The fixed mode of these two signs implies a slower, plodding pace, but which could still prove productive, perhaps even more than usual. 

The Sun enters Gemini time on May 20 this year to begin the last month of spring. 

Neptune hovering at 29 Pisces contributes to the overall tone revealing a blend of placid, dreamy, and stable. 

While the Moon will wax to Full in Sagittarius on May 23, stimulating a boost of fiery inspiration, the Taurus factor will keep the mood grounded and perhaps even subdued.

Have a great week!

Weekly Horoscope for all Signs

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) 

The desire for more is a common feature of life. Discerning whether 'more' amounts to quantity, quality, or a mix of both is a personal process. To feel more comfortable and to enjoy the pleasures of life is also natural. So, having a plan to achieve arises naturally as well. Timing is important in this regard, and is the conundrum in the equation, currently.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

The stellium of five planets in your sign indicates that you are determined to enter new territory. This could be true literally, or intellectually, emotionally, or socially, or all of the above. With returns for past efforts coming to the fore, your job is to identify what they are and to consolidate them as necessary to bring them forward for practical use. 

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Taurus time is often one when you are inclined to huddle in close to home. This is probably extra true this year. You could still be quite busy both inside and out. Family affairs, tending the garden, spring cleaning, planning for future projects and events, or simply taking in the seasonal beauty are all good bets. If you do have to go out, keep it as brief as possible.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

A creative impulse has been lingering for a few weeks now and will continue for a few more. On one hand, it could include clearing the old to make way for the new. Otherwise, the emphasis is on taking existing skills and talents to their next level of mastery. A learning curve is implied yet includes unlearning as much as acquiring new knowledge and approaches. 

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

Taking new leads and strides in your public and/or professional is underway. Paying attention to the finer details and making improvements where possible is featured. These are all aspects of a much deeper process of change that began in early spring last year and continues yet. Forging ahead includes pushing through fears and doubts.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

The strong Taurus influence is pushing you to keep your perspectives realistic, grounded, and practical. This can include knowing the difference between your sphere(s) of concern in balance with those of your actual influence. For idealistic types, the former is usually much wider than the latter. Harness your energies and direct them to where it genuinely counts.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Returns on past efforts and investments are there for you to reallocate. There are distinct themes of change at play which imply new plans and interests. Resisting these changes and hoping to just leave things as they are could be a sign of resistance and control of the flow. Break free of your comfort zone with confidence that you can enter a new one.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Building new foundations on relationship fronts is the big theme now. Themes of expansion are strongly emphasized, yet these will not occur, or at least not in ways desired, if your foundations are not fortified and secured. This could well include new team members and other assets able to contribute to a greater whole.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Taurus stellium is influencing the patterns of your daily rhythm and routine. Change is implied and requires that you confront your fears of change. Since the changes are destined to occur, they will with or without your conscious, co-creative participation. Of course, by being fully involved you can influence the outcome.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Taurus is also an Earth Element Sign, which means that its energies are in harmonious sync with your own. This is one of those opportunity periods when you can make new commitments and investments that are much more likely to produce the desired results. The biggest caution is that you do not overdo it so avoid extremes and exercise moderation.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

As the old saying goes, sometimes when it rains, it pours, and this could be one of those times. Positively, you are enjoying an abundant cycle full of flow and beauty. Yet, amidst it all, at the deeper roots, there is a dynamic that is agitating you to move on somehow. It requires both sober thinking and discipline to follow through.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

This strong Taurean influence is effectively synchronizing with changes in your perspectives, values, and attitudes. The time has come to move from certain perceptions and interpretations. Recognizing the relativity of life is an important example. When you realize that you don’t see things ‘as they are’, you can begin to see things as they are.
