Weekly Horoscopes: May Week 4
The big news in the cosmos this week is Thursday’s Gemini New Moon, which sets the tone for some social times ahead. As the days get longer it’s like you can smell summer just around the corner, and the energy of this New Moon is sheer excitement for fun with friends. Gemini also rules communication, and so the second half of the week will be a great time to clear the air with some open-hearted convos, too.
Just remember to listen up to what other people have to say, though, as love planet Venus makes a tense square to transformational Pluto on the very same day. The mood could feel make-or-break, but play it right and it could also be an amazing time to make yourself heard — especially if you feel like your emotional needs are not being met by whoever made “the rules.” Embody your most divinely feminine self and say it for the sisterhood.
On Sunday it’s time to get real about a big idea. If you’re really serious about making it happen — whether “it” is launching a blog, starting a book club, or brainstorming a new brand — Saturn is on hand to help you put a solid plan in place. Getting business’y with your creativity is where it’s at!

In the stars: Fresh new energy for a personal project (through June 23); intense feelings for someone who’s ‘just a friend’; giving as good as you get in the acting selfish stakes.
In your life: Your birthday is coming so you’re probably starting to amp up in some way or another. If you can’t feel it yet then consciously make a vow to yourself — do a little ritual, and dive into Gemini season with excitement and curiosity. If you take advantage of the next month you’ll reap major benefits in all areas of your life. Write some intentions on a post or desktop sticky and dive into the coming weeks with purpose so you don’t let yourself just get pulled around by life. It’ll feel way better, I promise.

In the stars: Feeling inspired to follow your compassion; putting work first brings tension to a close relationship; the desire to escape impacts your overall wellbeing.
In your life: It’s all about balance right now for you, my dear. Anytime you feel freak-out vibes about one area of your life, take a moment to step back and see the whole picture. You have a tendency to run or hide if one area gets too intense but I need you to stay firm. Stay put. Breathe. When the going gets tough, take a moment, and act from your heart. Balance quiet time with social time. Balance, balance, balance. Stay inspired even when you get bouts of discouragement. Breathe again. Focus on the bigger picture. You got this.

In the stars: Planning summertime fun with your crew; finding a balance between health and hedonism; a team challenge tests your creativity.
In your life: I love your “ALL IN” vibes Leo. You’re the most fun to be around and the best leader for late nights and skinny dips and dance parties. Don't lose that charm, pretty please. But right now it’s important you keep one eye on your work, your job, school, your business — whatever it is you’ve been really building. Don’t let that baby out of your sight. You can have fun and also work hard. It takes effort and some planning, but this is your life so plan ahead. Work on keeping it all in balance and you’ll reap big rewards.

In the stars: Setting fresh intentions for your future career; craving intimacy but flirting outrageously; weighing work goals against quality family time.
In your life: Every once in awhile it’s a good idea to burn up any and every idea you have for what you think you want and start fresh. I’m not saying to quit your job and give away your things. I’m saying to let your goals and dreams change as you change. Just because five years ago you wanted one thing does not mean you still have to want it now. Take some time alone and just contemplate. What does the me TODAY want? Listen in quiet as the moon wanes this week and take note for this new chapter coming soon.

In the stars: Getting inspired by new ways of seeing; craving independance from your clan; a clash of ideals sparks a brand new idea.
In your life: Take a look at what is new that has come into your sphere as of late. What things have inspired you? What has gotten you so excited you have to tell other people about it ASAP? Those are your clues as to your next steps right now. Though they may be different than what you expected can you follow the clues anyway? And not worry about what your posse thinks? I challenge you to do so in the coming week, Libra. It could feel deliciously liberating.

In the stars: A shot of adrenalin for your romantic life; real talk about an ongoing health issue; acknowledging your desires helps boost your self-esteem.
In your life: Oh la la! Infuse your week with a little bit of your generous sensual vibes and see what comes back to you. On a different note, you may like to keep your health issues under the table, tucked away in private, but it’s only going to make them fester. So if you have something coming up around your health don’t delay. And stop acting like a superhero. We love your soft side.

In the stars: A chance for a fresh start in a key partnership; creativity vs. making money; using close relationships to decide who you want to be.
In your life: Take a moment to look at the partnerships and relationships around you and where you could infuse a little more love in there. A little more creative risks. A little more flexibility. Vulnerability. You’re ace at killin’ it at work, at being in control and on top of things, but what about if you let yourself soften a bit, slow down a bit, and do what you want in each moment of each day as much as possible.

In the stars: Feeling inspired to get super fit for summer; time with family restores your sense of self; choosing to be of service helps you forgive and forget.
In your life: Compassion, compassion, compassion. The way to your heart is through compassion. And with that comes great love, good work relationships, healthy friendship — but how you ask? Because when you tune into your compassionate side you can appreciate just about anyone! You can let go of past grudges. You can exist from the here and now in life instead of the past or the potential future. So ask yourself- where and how can you be of service? How can you incorporate that into your life regularly?

In the stars: Creative self-expression feels like the start of something; emo over-sharing could get confusing; assembling a team to help realise a fun idea.
In your life: Let’s talk about your current creative outlet. Where are you expressing your creativity these days and how? Is it every once in awhile or on a whim? Or do you do something consistently? Try doing something often — writing on Instagram, DIY photoshoots with friends, or pulling out your art supplies. Whatever feels the best to you! And pull your friends into it, because why not? Make it more part of your life. You inspire people around you — don’t forget it — so don’t be shy about wrangling them into your process.

In the stars: Settling into a new sense of “home”; personal gains vs. being a good team player; nurturing family time helps balance career ambitions.
In your life: What does “home” mean for you right now? Is it a phone call to Mom? A night out with friends? A room of your own? Your yoga community? Whatever it is, nurture it. Love it. Give it as much love as you can. If you feel yourself getting too stuck in your solo vibes, reach out to your friends and family and also take time to nurture your work relationships. Without them what are you working so hard for all the time? You may feel like you’re a lone fish but you aren’t and now is the time to remember.

In the stars: Getting excited about a new idea; finding ways to work that feel good too; putting some structure around your next big venture.
In your life: The sky’s the limit for you, which can sometimes feel very overwhelming! The good news is that there is no deadline for your success or happiness. It’s happening every day in the here and now if you can just sit back and enjoy it.

In the stars: Setting fresh intentions for your finances; craving an escape from intense study time; making a boring yet sensible investment.
In your life: It’s a new time. What are your new Earthy and grounded goals? Take some time to look at them. I know this may sound boring but it’ll feel good to do. Look at where you’re headed and where you’ve been. Are you growing at the rate you want to grow? If not, what are some next steps for you. Get ‘em on paper and start to plot those next moves. Don’t sit on it too long. Put those goals in action.
