This weekly horoscope comes at a pivotal time for mindfulness, self-growth, and personal awareness. On May 4, Pluto begins its planetary backspin in Aquarius, which lasts until October 13. This is a chance for us to find our progress — the real transformational kind. Mercury moves into Taurus on the 10th, making us a little more stubborn in our thoughts and practical and rigid as we explore our comforts.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Rather than leaving the daunting task of finding a summer job to the last minute, use the week ahead to update your résumé and put yourself out there to apply to any gig that aligns with your schedule and seems like a good fit for you. You never know where or what the internship or work can lead to in the future, which is why it's a good idea to put your best foot forward and make a stellar impression with the company, management, or potential coworker during the interview. Use your rizz and swagger to sway them toward hiring you.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Since you are known for your Mercurial mind, it's only natural that you question reality or world views. That's right, you're doing a deep dive into the taboo, which includes researching UFOs or aliens, immersing yourself in magic, and aligning with a hobby that you put on the back burner. This is the ideal week to embrace what makes you think. In true Gemini form, you need a challenge — these topics will encourage you to question matters and educate you on subjects you wish to learn about. You won’t regret doing so because it will be eye opening.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
You often fear not being in control, but who doesn't? You deal with this sentiment by acting out and dominating those who are extremely close to you. This week, you’re beginning to see that you cannot do this to those you care about because it hinders them from evolving on their own. Before asserting your authority onto friends and family, consider flexing your power in meaningful ways that can make a difference and bring change. You might have the urge to augment your life for the better instead of focusing on others. After all, you should always put yourself first.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
It's hard for you to stop once you start roaring your heart out. Throughout the week, you will face many obstacles and frustrations, and how you react to them is important. Baby’s got fangs, so watch out for your bite because it could affect your relationships, particularly the way your crush/significant other feels about you. Count backwards from 10 to 1 to calm your temper and to find a more effective way of expressing yourself. Use your words wisely and be compassionate to avoid getting into an epic battle that no one can win.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
You know better than to fight back with someone incapable of seeing your perspective. Save your energy for those who can imagine themselves in your shoes and care about your opinion. This will allow them to understand and comprehend where you're coming from. Even though it might not be helpful in this round, speaking your mind will prove to be worth the uphill battle. Just knowing that you can be who you want and say what you think in the moment is wonderful.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
You long to impress your latest crush on a date, but you might be out of options as to what you want to do. Take them to an out-of-the-blue event. Perhaps an outdoor concert with snacks for you both to enjoy or a storytelling event in town that you both can participate in. No matter what you choose to do, remember that the most critical aspect of the evening should be your company. IKYK that it’s important to make a good first impression — so be sure to treat them with respect and kindness when you both rendezvous this week.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
This is a week of healing in which you can uncover a lot of emotional baggage from the past and take steps toward mending your heart. When it comes to your deep emotions, you might discover that many parts of your personality haven't come out yet and are evolving. Try to embrace and honor all of them. It's TLC that you deserve. The most crucial facet of unlocking and understanding your sentiments is loving yourself and not being critical of yourself. Give yourself a chance to find the glory and happiness you crave — do not settle.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
You've been trying to play cute and coy, but things are progressing nicely in your ship, leading to the potential commitment you've been looking for. Before you change your social media status and hard launch the partnership, you might want to think about taking a low-profile approach to telling the world your relationship status. The reason being is that you want to relish in their presence and not have to answer a million questions from other people about who, what, where, when, and how you met and connected with this one fabulous person who is brightening your days and spirit lately.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
You are entering the collector era of your life. This is a time in which you want to have as many trinkets as possible surrounding you to prove that you are worthy of your status. Material objects don't define a person, so you might want to reconsider what you value now. Also, it would be beneficial to begin saving your pennies for a rainy day because there might be something that you desire more than what you currently have, and you won't be able to afford it. If possible, make these purchases on a budget and buy items on sale.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
If you feel like people are distancing themselves from you, it couldn’t be further from the truth. They are sitting in amazement, thinking about how special you are. You're the one who is going through a state of growth at the moment, which means you're embracing radical change to help deal with matters around you. Most importantly, never let anyone (including yourself) question your glow. This is an extremely metamorphic time for you, so embrace your fierceness. Do not let anything stand in the way of your journey to becoming a better you, Aquarius.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Recently, you might've fallen into the fire and tried to make it into light without getting burned; however, you are currently realizing that sometimes, no matter what you do, you can't make things or situations better, and you have to put them on ice for the moment for you to heal and transcend. In cases like these, it is best to send the person energetic messages that are full of hope and compassion to give them strength. Sometimes the best option is to do nothing.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
The type of people you're hanging out with differs slightly from your usual crew. It's not that you are upset with anyone. It's just that you like to diversify the people in your life. Sometimes, you can be closer to one than the other, but it doesn't mean you love anyone less. If a friend feels a certain way or as though you're not giving them enough attention, make time to bond with them. Help them squash any insecurities they may have about your relationship. They might be lonely and require a dose of your humor to make them better.
