Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces
On Monday Mercury goes direct in the sign of Taurus. When Mercury moves forward through Taurus, it is a good time to clean up concerns about valuables and deal with issues concerning documents, contracts, speeches and business procedures. Mercury is classically known as “The Merchant,” “The Trickster” and “The Thief.” In the fixed earth sign of Taurus, Mercury inspires our inclinations to buy, sell, trade, barter and negotiate terms of sale. Conversations will be focused on the physical world and the beauty that surrounds us.
Venus, the influence of love, magnetism and attraction enters Gemini, the personification of duality, on Tuesday (May 24 – June 17). There is an attraction towards the need for variety and more than one avenue of expression with regard to affections. Subtle and playful love comes with words; love matters are submerged in thoughts and mindful observations. Venus in Gemini will create an attraction to writing, speaking on and recording extraordinary love experiences.
Venus in Gemini opposite Mars in Sagittarius (May 25 – June 1) tends to create an acute awareness of the sexes. This is a time when men and women, or masculine and feminine forces, are made acutely aware of each other. Oppositions with these personal planets both attract and repel at the same time, and there is a constant need to give and take through the act of compromise. If you are among those somehow caught up in this battle of the sexes, it is important to realize that losses can occur with attempts at moderation just as easily as with extremities. There is no middle ground and arguments are likely to be strong during this aspect.
Jupiter in Virgo square Saturn in Sagittarius (May 26 –June 2) ) is a transit that helps bring the awareness of knowing your real priorities, opportunities and commitments, issues and lessons of life that need one’s attention. Jupiter will seek to enlarge a person’s world and Saturn will narrow it and is fearful, anxiety prone and behaves with extreme caution. During this transit, there are conflicting feelings over whether to risk or refuse opportunity and it can result in missed opportunities. On the other hand, this might also be advantageous in that one will use caution before rushing into some new venture and risking everything.
Mars enters Scorpio on Friday (May 27 – August 2) bringing a very passionate and daring edge to our activities. In Scorpio, the execution of activity (Mars) is done with precision and intense clarity. Mars in Scorpio often brings out aggressive acts in people, but not necessarily ones that are cruel or destructive.

Aries: Mercury turns direct on May 23, so financially speaking, life should begin to get easier, although if you used the past three weeks wisely, you’ll have benefited from some valuable insights around your financial and material situation. Still, it’s nice to know that any blocks should soon dissolve, and you can begin to manifest new beginnings in your material world. Our attitude to the world is everything. If we view the glass as half full rather than half empty, we’re not likely to come up short. Seeing life as full of potential and possibility should keep us from getting stuck in a rut. This week, a most beautiful alignment with the Sun and Venus takes place in the zone of your mind that is likely to result in your expressing a more celebratory attitude toward life which in turn will lead you to become a magnet for happiness and good fortune.
Taurus: The charming combination of Venus and the Sun in your house of money creates a sense of abundance, and this is an opportune time to think in terms of prosperity, removing all thoughts of lack. At the same time, Mercury turns direct in your sign, effectively giving you permission to take the brakes off and get moving. Life should start to get easier now with a feeling that you can begin to make progress.
Gemini: The good news this week is that Mercury turns direct on Monday so if you’ve found the past few weeks tricky or you’ve felt lethargic or low on energy and motivation, this is the point where you begin to get your mojo back. The pairing of the Sun and Venus in your sign is good news for you, bringing a feel-good factor and putting the focus firmly on pleasure and enjoyment. Now is the time when the cosmos is giving you permission to pamper yourself and to embrace art, beauty and love, so the question to ask is, what makes you feel good? What lifts your spirits and raises your vibration? Perhaps the answer for you is to focus on creating heartfelt connections not just with your partner and friends, but with everyone you meet!
Cancer: Mercury turns direct this week which is good news for you. Now you can begin to move forward with your hopes and dreams while any day-to-day stresses, including your work or health, are both likely to ease up, allowing you to concentrate on other things. However, this isn’t a time of high energy as the Sun makes its annual journey through your zone of rest and quiet contemplation. This is a good time to turn within and focus on spiritual or inner development. Rest, recuperate and enjoy a more peaceful state of affairs.
Leo: The good news this week is that Mercury turns direct on Monday at the top of your chart, effectively removing the brakes and allowing you to move forward. It won’t be another two or three weeks before the issues of the previous weeks are a distant memory, but at least you can begin to make some progress. The beautiful conjunction of the Sun and Venus in your sociable zone makes this the week to let your hair down a little and enjoy yourself. No matter what trials are going on in your life, it’s important to periodically take a break and have fun with people whose company you enjoy. Social occasions, outings and fun with friends are all on the agenda, so don’t turn down invitations in favor of work, duties or any other reason. This is a week to focus and enhance the beauty of your connections with others, so nurture your friendships, smile at strangers, or get to know an acquaintance a bit more.
Virgo: Whatever you have been daydreaming about or wishing were better, now is the time to take action. Summon your courage, and start living the life you can imagine in your best moments. With Jupiter direct in your sign, you have permission to go for your dreams. Perhaps you’ve found it difficult to make progress recently, whether it was your own lack of motivation or circumstances preventing you from making progress. Now though, begin to surge forward with passion, power and intensity.
Libra: Mercury turns direct on May 23 which is good news for you signaling an end to the heavy vibration of the previous weeks. At this point, you should begin to feel a spring in your step and notice the twinkle in your eye returning. If you feel you have changed in some way, give yourself a pat on the back, and enjoy the sense of freedom, achievement or expansion that your transformation has brought you. Now as the Sun aligns with Venus in your zone of adventure, it’s time to turn your attention to more enjoyable matters.
Scorpio: Mercury turning direct on Monday effectively brings an end to the problems and misunderstandings with others, and then Mars returns to your sign for several months. Mars returning is of greatest significance since this is another chance for you to take hold of the reins and direct your life toward the path you want. First, though, you have to let go of the past. You’re clinging to something. Until you let go, life will stay stuck. Fortunately, Mars will give you the courage you need to break away from something that has had its day. The arrival of Mars in your sign is cause for celebration, despite the fact that it is paying you a return visit. Perhaps this means you didn’t get something right the first time around and now you’re being given the impetus, energy and motivation to have another shot.
Sagittarius: Do you think you need to be more organized and efficient? Knowing where things are when you need them can remove a lot of stress. Implementing a new regime or discipline could be just what you need right now. Mars heads out of your sign this week signaling the end, for a short while at least, of a very busy and demanding period. Take the opportunity to rest and to reconnect with your inner self through pursuits such as meditation, art, music, prayer and quiet contemplation. Meanwhile, Mercury’s turning direct in your daily life and health zone is good news for your work and general well-being. Problems will ease, and life will soon return to normal.
Capricorn: A beautiful alignment of the Sun and Venus in your daily life zone suggests that the more love you can put into your service and the more mindful you can be with your chores, the more joy you will discover. We often think that we have to spend a lot of money to enjoy ourselves, but right now, enjoyment can be found in the simplest of pleasures. It is perhaps best summed up by Albert Einstein: “Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury – to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best for both the body and the mind.”
Aquarius: Mercury turns direct on May 23, ending frustrations relating to home and family and what might have been quite a heavy and introspective time. In fact, with the Sun and Venus now dancing their way through your house of fun, your spirits are likely to receive a real boost. This is a great time to focus on enjoyable activities, creativity and recreation. You’re also likely to feel more connected to others after a time where you might have felt more isolated. This is a good week to throw yourself into life with the zest of a child at play.
Pisces: Don’t let anger be your driving force. Come back to base and reconnect with your inner self so that you can hear that quiet, wise voice within. A beautiful alignment of the Sun and Venus at the base of your chart makes this as good a time as any to feel at home wherever you are. This is a combination that gives you the opportunity to feel comfortable in your own skin which is something that Pisceans often struggle with, not quite knowing who you are, where you belong, or where you fit in.
