What an energetic and cosmically intense week awaits us! Mars and Neptune join in Pisces on May 18, which will wreck our schedules and moods as the world is not moving as fast as we would like. The Taurus Sun and Pluto in Capricorn harmonize on May 19, which adds to our enthusiasm. Mercury retrograde in Gemini and Jupiter in Aries expands our intellectual horizons on the 19th. The next day, the Sun enters Gemini. Mercury retrograde and the Sun retrograde on May 21, forming a casual planetary relationship. This is the best day of Mercury retrograde – use it wisely! The last quarter moon of May 22 in Pisces makes for an emotional day for everyone – especially since Mars and Pluto unite and raise our hidden concerns. Mercury retrograde moves back into Taurus on the 22nd, which gives another chance to revive and re-live the story from mid-April. The next day, Mercury retrograde gets a push back and forth from Mars – even if it doesn’t want to – hence the resistance that comes from this interaction. The Gemini Sun and Jupiter harmonize on May 23, making us feel larger than life. Action planet Mars enters Aries on May 24, prompting us to move toward what we’re most passionate about. On the same day, Venus in Aries joins with Saturn in Aquarius, giving us the opportunity to commit to others or ourselves.

Witch Tip:

The last quarter moon on May 22 is a great time to release all the drama that has happened in the past weeks — especially during eclipses. Write down on a piece of paper everything that you want to grow and change in your life. Turn the list over three times and place it under the bowl of water. Place a white candle in the bowl and light it to change emotions and release residual energy.

Aries

The unexpected can create great and surprising opportunities – if you allow it. The universe wants to shower surprise and joy on you this week. Be sure to keep your eyes open to the synchronicity and beauty that surrounds you in order to appreciate the good in your life.

Taurus

Creative and personal freedoms will be important to you throughout the week, as the universe continues its journey through the artistic part of your chart. It’s essential that you embrace the things that make you unique, so don’t be afraid to show your quirky side. Let your true self shine.

Gemini

Setting boundaries is an important part of life to make sure you are not taken lightly. It’s okay to say “no” to someone else for no reason. It is perfectly acceptable and necessary to put the love and energy you freely give to others back into yourself.

cancer

At the beginning of the week, there is a strong possibility of lack of enthusiasm in your mind. However, this feeling will not last forever and is temporary (like every emotion in life). As the week progresses, you will be freer and more creative. The best way to handle energy is to go with the flow.

Leo

Our bodies, minds and spirits will find a way to heal themselves as we explore the realms of dreams. You may find yourself in intense encounters in the astral realms, which is why it’s a good idea to write down any dreams you might remember upon waking up this week.

Virgo

You’ll want to defend yourself from overly charismatic people at this time, as there is a possibility that you may be taken for a ride if you go too hard on the substance to charm. Although these relationships are full of uncertainty, it’s important to trust your gut more than ever.

Libra

Try not to criticize yourself too much during this time. A lot of worries are coming to the surface, which is worrying you. As the week comes to a close, check-in with your body. If there is any tension that needs to be released, try stretching or taking a warm bath.

Scorpio

Lessons from the past, relationships and situations are coming to the fore again this week, testing your emotional and intellectual sides. You might feel like you’re being tempted on some level by the universe, but as long as you can break the unhealthy pattern, you should go through flying colors.

Sagittarius

Your newly discovered inner qualities are perceived among colleagues as certainty and credibility. When your co-workers and friends need help, be ready to lend a helping hand. The caveat is that you need to know when enough is enough and be careful not to give too much.

Capricorn

Messages from beyond the screen will come to our mind earlier this week, as all the different energies of the universe are clashing in your subconscious. If you want to interact with the other party and perform some rituals, this is the time to do so.

Aquarius

It is essential to find your spiritual origin and purpose at this time. The more energy and time you have with your heart, the easier it will be to commit to a soulful effort that engages your entire being. Emotional fulfillment awaits the spark – follow the light for personal growth.

Pisces

You may feel that the forces of nature are not working in your favor but against you. Instead of fighting against energy, take some time to rethink and reevaluate your goals. This will give you an idea of ​​how to proceed without taking a step back.
