Weekly Horoscope: May 10 - 16

Horoscope for the Week: May 10 - 16, 2024 

Tip of the Week:

The waxing process of last week’s Cazimi New Moon in Taurus will aptly be in Cancer, the sign of motherhood, nurturing, family, and ancestral roots, on Mother’s Day this weekend. 

Especially for those with the sign of Cancer on the ascendant in their natal chart, their tendency is to be ultra nurturing. Those with the Sun in Cancer can certainly be as well, but the Sun Sign in our natal chart emphasizes the main purpose and focus for learning. 

In other words, while we do not 'choose' our karma and we do pick up where we left off, (contrary to popular notions that we simply choose our life experiences without any context to previous incarnations), on a soul level the Sun and various other factors are chosen for the purpose of furthering our evolutionary need in the most precise way.

In this regard, ‘you’ did not choose this life, you were born, but the choice was made on a soul level. In other words, we know ourselves as who we are consciously and our deep subconscious, the mind of our soul, remains quietly and passively present because our embodied, personality construct is the vehicle for our growth in this dimension, not the deep subconscious mind. 

So, while the language is a bit complicated, not appreciating this more precise distinction, itself highly summarized, is an example of how a deep and complex principle made popular can and often does become warped by sensational attitudes bereft of deeper understanding and empathy. This can also be said of the disease called 'Cancer' since it is the sign of nurturing, nutrition, empathy, and the sign of the Zodiac most closely, symbolically associated with unconditional love.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms, and have a great week!

Weekly Horoscope for all Signs

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) 

The Taurus impulse is probably prompting changes in your attitude and overall set of values and priorities about things. Yet, it does include an ambitious determination, if asserted from the slow lane. Mars in Aries will serve to counter this slow but sure ambition with a little extra firepower, so you are likely to be productive.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

This waxing lunation phase which was seeded in your sign indicates a sense of inspiration to take new initiatives. Jupiter in your sign says: "go big!" With Sun, Venus, Uranus, and Mercury soon too, all huddled close, your resolve comes with a lot of torque and stamina that will likely grow steadily, culminating with the Full Moon on the 23rd.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

This lunar cycle could prove to produce delayed results for you. They will be there, but it might take until the New Moon in your sign and the cycle that follows a few weeks from now. It is a good time to go slow, plan, and rest as you can. Mars in Aries is lending a supportive reserve of energy, provided the rebellious influence it suggests is directed to a cause.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

The foundations of change have now been established and are in the process of growing roots. Positively, a creative and inventive influence is on the rise, so don't expect that you will repeat what you have done in the past. Meanwhile, an ardent push in your career is indicated, requiring training and new skills.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

An ambitious determination in your public and professional life is probably gaining most of your attention. There is an expansive theme at play, which implies a steady flow of changes in your approach over time, but it also requires discipline and focus. New tools, techniques, and skills or the refinement of existing ones are featured.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

A philosophical and visionary impulse that has been simmering for some time now has entered its next major phase. The development process of this stage should be underway now and does require a weave of study, contemplation, and imagination. Fortunately, your ambition levels are running strong, supporting you to do the work required.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Change has become the new norm for you. Positively, it is the kind you welcome, as with a reversal of fortunes in your favor. However, the strong health factors linked to Saturn and Neptune in your health sector indicate that you have had to really 'work it' in that department, if simply to surrender and accept.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The auspicious Taurus boost is coinciding with changes on relationship fronts laced with the themes of expansion and increase. Extra effort is required and fortunately, there are indications that your resolve to rise to the occasion is also strong. Meanwhile, changes close to home are stirring but the big shift will likely come in October.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Changes in your daily rhythm and perhaps your lifestyle in general have been percolating for some time, and now you are undergoing the next phase. Another level or mode of discipline combined with a shift of attitude to give more is required to meet the challenges implied. Mars in Aries is available to support activating the required measures and strategies.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Earth sign of Taurus aligns harmoniously and with inspiration with that of your Earth sign. Interestingly, the influence is less about getting your hands dirty in the garden and more about larger, philosophical, or ethical considerations. You will likely aim to keep these grounded and realistic, if with an alternative twist.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

This New Moon is likely causing a stir close to home. Positively, there are indications that these are quite positive and include new levels of beauty. Whatever is happening, your confidence levels are getting a boost, supporting you to activate desired changes. Expect to take an assertive and revolutionary approach.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Taurus is directly related to your mode of perception. In this regard, you like to think slowly and carefully regarding most matters. Despite your dreamy, imaginative disposition, your perspectives can prove to be quite sound. This is perhaps especially true now and you may find yourself engaged in inspiring and innovative projects.
