Weekly Horoscope Sunday, May 21 to Saturday, May 27, 2023

This post will be moving to Monday’s starting May 29th.

All Signs

Every year, the Sun moves through all 12 signs staying for four weeks in each sign. We are now entering that four-week window when the Sun will radiate Gemini energy, making everyone more curious about everything going on around them. We’ll want to take short trips and explore the world. We will have an increased desire to pop out for coffee, grab a magazine and catch up on the latest with friends and neighbours. Many will sign up for a course or explore ways to learn something new. I love Geminis! They’re free spirited, fun-loving and have the courage to fry bacon naked.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Because you’re the “first” sign of the zodiac, there’s something about spring that really boosts your energy. If you thought you were busy and energetic before – get ready because in the next month, you’re pulling out all stops. Suddenly, you’ve got things to do, places to go and people to see! You want to take short trips. You want to learn new things and meet new people. You’re busy! You also want to entertain and redecorate at home. In addition, you feel competitive especially with group sports and kids’ activities. Meanwhile, while you juggle all this, you’re full of moneymaking ideas — and getting richer. Ka-ching!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a lovely time for you because lucky Jupiter is in your sign for the next 12 months, bringing you good fortune and giving you an edge over all the other signs. This is a major blessing! Meanwhile, for the next four weeks, the Sun will sit in one of your Money Houses, prompting you to think about cash flow, earnings and your wealth in general. It is occurring to you now that you want to make your money work for you. Not only that, you want to make what you own work for you as well. Well, of course. This makes sense: what you own should make your life easier and not the other way around. Right? How’s that working out for you?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Once a year, the Sun is in your sign for four weeks and that time has arrived. This brings you many benefits and one of them is that it’s your chance to rejuvenate and replenish yourself. The Sun in your sign will also attracts favourable situations and interesting people to you. Because fiery Mars is in your House of Communications, you identify more with your ideas. But you might be a tad stubborn this week. You might also be argumentative, which is generally not the best way to get what you want. Meanwhile, you will attract money, goods and favours to you, which encourages you to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. One thing is certain: Now you clearly see what is working and what is not.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For the next four weeks, contradictory influences might affect you. On one hand, you’re happy to be reclusive and enjoy time by yourself or to work alone. On the other hand, (you have different rings), with Venus in your sign, you are charming, diplomatic and eager to schmooze with others. Both Mercury and Jupiter in your House of Friendships will promote interacting with friends and groups, particularly younger people. Meanwhile, Mars makes you identify with your possessions. You feel like you are what you own. You might even get into disputes about values or property or possessions. Trust that Jupiter’s beneficial influence will smooth things with friends and groups, because it will.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For the next four weeks, you’re more popular! Enjoy increased activity with friends and interactions with groups and organizations. In addition, fiery Mars is now in your sign, boosting your energy and urging you to assert yourself among others. It makes you more of a fighter for your rights than usual. Count on this being a productive week, mainly because you have energy to work. In fact, you have energy to burn! This is why this an ideal time for physical sports and workouts. Meanwhile, discussions with bosses, parents and important people will go well, in large measure because you look successful to people – and everyone loves a winner.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The Sun is at the top of your chart, for the next four weeks, which symbolizes that you’re cast in a spotlight that is flattering. People admire you. They see you as competent and capable, even if you don’t do anything special. (Oh yes, the power of good lighting.) This means that this window of time is perhaps the most advantageous time of the year for you to promote your agenda and demand the advantage. Therefore, go after what you want because you will likely get it. Meanwhile, Venus will smooth the way for your relations with friends and groups because it will make you ooze charm and diplomacy. In fact, for some, a friend will become a lover.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Because your desire to travel and explore more of the world is pumped in the next four weeks, please look for ways to change your daily routine or travel. You need a change of scenery! If you can’t travel, be a tourist in your own town. Expand your world through books, film, or documentaries plus talking to people from other countries and different cultures. Your interest in philosophy, religion, belief systems, politics and the law will be strong. (Actually, some of you might be more involved with the law.) This is a special time for you because your ruler Venus is at the top of your chart attracting people to you, especially related to your career. Romance with a boss or mentor figure might begin.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are a passionate sign, and in the next four weeks, your passion will intensify. Perhaps you will encounter someone who encourages powerful changes in your life? Or some psychological self-inquiry? Personally, you have a stronger than usual desire to experience life at feeling level not just an abstract, intellectual understanding. You will also be more involved with bills, taxes, debt, shared property and inheritances. Plus, your ambition is aroused because Mars is at the top of your chart. Meanwhile, your desire to travel for pleasure and escape “from all this” is strong! By all means, travel if you can because you will love it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Once a year, for four weeks, the Sun sits opposite your sign, which means symbolically – it is as far away from your sign as it can get all year. Because the Sun represents “energy”, this means you’ll be more tired and will need more sleep. (Go to bed.) This polarized position of the Sun will also give you more objectivity about your closest relationships, which is an opportunity to see how to improve you initiate to others, or react in these relationships. Meanwhile, Mars is urging you to travel and get a change of scenery; while Venus sweetens romance in a tender, affectionate away. Venus will also attract money and goodies to you. (Think of the workout you’ll get opening gifts.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’ll be busting your buns to be as productive as possible in the next four weeks because you’re setting high standards for yourself. You want to be efficient! These high standards will include your health as well as your work, which is why you might begin a new health regime, possibly a diet or an exercise program. (If you eat in the dark you don’t gain weight.) Nevertheless, despite your effort to be hard-working and efficient, relations with those who are closest to you will be lovely and rewarding because fair Venus is opposite your sign sitting in your House of Partnerships. This will make you appreciate your loved ones. In fact, this is a romantic time for your sign. Romantic and sexy! Grab opportunities to play and perhaps figure out how to swing a vacation!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Ta da! Once a year, the Sun is in the most playful part of your chart for four weeks and this time has arrived! Do what you want and set your own priorities! Fun activities with children will appeal along with sports events. This is a wonderful time for a vacation and romance. Socialize! Accept invitations! Enjoy the arts, social outings, picnics, barbecues, short trips and above all — the theatre, galleries and opportunities to enjoy musical performances and fun times with others. A work-related romance might begin for some. Admittedly, with Mars opposite your sign, you have to be patient with partners and close friends, but this will be easy because you’re happy!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Home, family and your private life will be your primary focus in the next four weeks. Many of you will be involved more than usual with a parent. You might focus on redecorating projects or reorganizing things at home. You might also enjoy relaxing among familiar surroundings. Meanwhile, Venus will encourage entertaining and socializing, so stock the fridge and invite the gang over. You will relate warmly with children. It’s a great time for games and fun. Romance will be sweet and affectionate. One thing that will make you happy and relaxed is you feel there’s no need to pretend to be who you are not. You’ll be like Popeye, “I yam what I yam!”

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 1:30 PM to 3 PM EDT today (10:30 AM to 12 noon PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This lovely New Moon day brings you a chance to ponder what your values are. (Something we often never think about.) What are the values that guide your life? This is one of the best days of the year for you to get a clearer picture of this.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place, which gives you the perfect opportunity to take a realistic look in the mirror and check out the image you create on your world. What can you do to improve your look?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Every month a New Moon is an opportunity to set intentions. (Because it changes signs each month, your opportunities are different.) This is an excellent day for you to give thought to your spiritual or religious values. What do you believe in?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today’s New Moon is the best day of the entire year for you to think about the role that a friend plays in your life. What kind of friend are you? Do you hang out with people you respect? If you want to have friends – be friendly.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the only New Moon that takes place at the top of your chart is happening. This means it’s the perfect day for you to think about your life direction. Are you headed where you want to go? Where do you want to be five years from now?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today is the New Moon. What further education or training would help you to succeed in your job? Likewise, what travel might you take that will enhance or enrich your life? Once you stop learning and growing – you’re old.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Due to today’s New Moon, you can clear up loose details about shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. Don’t procrastinate. Take a deep breath and dig in. Even if you give this red-tape 15 minutes of your time, you’ll feel better.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the New Moon gives you a lovely opportunity to think about how you can improve your closest relationships, partnerships and friendships. Tell yourself what you might start doing, or stop doing, to improve your style of relating to someone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It’s easy to take your health for granted until it’s threatened. Today’s New Moon is your best chance all year to think about what you can do to improve and maintain your health. You can also get specific about how to improve your job or how you work.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are focused and hard-working. Today’s New Moon is the only New Moon all year that encourages you to think about the balance you have between play and work in your life. It also encourages you to value your creative talents and your creative expression.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today is one of the best days of the year to think about what you can do to improve your relations with family members. Also, what can you do to improve where you live so that you enjoy your home more and feel more comfortable to be there?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Humans are gregarious. We need to see each other, and we need to be seen. We also need to talk and we need to be heard. Today’s New Moon offers you a chance to think about what kind of a communicator you are. Are you clear in what you say?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Danielle Macdonald (1991) shares your birthday today. You like to improve things and help others because you care about the world you live in. You take a rational, practical approach to life. You have strong opinions and are ready to defend them. What you achieve this year will be the result of hard work. Simplicity will be the key to this year.

Click here for today’s or anyone’s birthday horoscope from thehoroscope.co

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This Friday you will somewhat feel challenged to find your balance. There might not be many things bothering you but those that do are of great importance.

An importance that in most cases you are the only one to see. This means that maybe you shouldn’t worry that much about your feelings and instead try to be practical and solve your problems.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This Friday you should try to avoid any kinds of surgeries or invasive medical treatment, especially in the area of your kidneys or lower back.

Despite health problems you might also feel quite emotional and you might not be able to actually get to the cause of your feelings. You might be experiencing a period of disruption that tracks back to previous events.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will probably use this Friday to get some piece of information you either postponed the whole week or that you just found out that you needed it.

If you succeed with your endeavors you will probably feel that proud that you will tell everyone what you did. It will be a great day if you want to share your feelings to someone just watch out for the way you do it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This Friday will be quite peaceful for you and it might also give you a chance to spend some time with your family. These kinds of activities will help you clear your mind and even find a solution to some problem that has been bothering you.

It’s a great time to set the beginning of a new romantic or business partnership for natives who work in creative fields.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Despite this being a Friday, all you can think of is ways to make it as quiet and peaceful as possible. You might not be under great stress but you definitely seek some peace.

There is also a great chance that the relief will come from spending time with your family or even receiving some unexpected help from your partner related to a personal project.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This day you will be in quite an emotional state, craving beauty and extra sensorial experiences. Be it that you act upon these wishes and go buy yourself something nice or that you simply let things unravel.

It might not be a great time for activities that require you to be all assertive or to make important decisions. So stand back and enjoy the beauty.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This day you might have to make some concessions, especially in your personal life, in order to keep peace in the family.

You are quite sociable and lively these days so this might seem a bit odd and attract some unfortunate comments you might have to deal with. Be diplomatic and remember to not speak exactly what is going on through your mind at the moment.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you will start showing off some of your deepest intuitions and awkward sensations. It might be something triggering you this behavior or just by chance.

Your emotions will be intense and you will somewhat see everything in a completely different light. You will be quite inquisitive with those around you but the idea is to just ask and stay away from action.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you will be quite social and friendly, however you will somewhat find it difficult to empathize with the problems of others.

So as your friend just starts complaining about something that just happened to them, try not to act all insensitive and at least show some attention if you can’t relate to what is happening. Other than that, a calm day ahead for you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today is going to be a great day for focusing your attention towards socializing and using media resources. It is a great time for all projects in this area or for showing off your previous work.

It is also going to be a good day for all people that have to do with someone of greater authority because they will be able to stand for their rights and be accepted for whom they are.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This end of the week will catch you in quite some uncertainty. These feelings might be related to work or maybe to some sensible personal issue.

Despite not knowing all the data involved you will act hot tempered and you are at great risk to create some conflict around you. Try to be comfortable around others, especially people you are meeting for the first time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This Friday you will try to repair all the things you’ve missed or delayed during the week so it’s going to be a busy day. Having to balance work and a well oiled personal life will kind of give you a head ache today so don’t try to deal with too many things at a time.

You might have to postpone some personal plans you’ve made and even to reassure those people you will find time later.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

For Your Viewing Pleasure – (1 Viewpoint) May 2023 New Moon Astrology

New Moon Friday May 19th 2023 – True Sidereal Astrology

(1 Opinion) The New Moon in Taurus of May 2023 Will Bring You Luck in Love & Money—Here’s How

Although full moons tend to get all the credit, new moons are what sets everything in motion. When the new moon in Taurus of May 2023 takes place, it will give you an opportunity to create distance from the past and begin something different.

A new moon always takes place when the moon—ruler of your inner world—joins forces with the sun—ruler of your external world—aligning the energy and forging the foundation needed to embark on your next journey. Whatever you start on the new moon reaches culmination by the full moon, showing you the consequences of your decisions and the results of your hard work. Although your energy may feel a bit lower during the new moon, it’s only encouraging you to look inward and reflect on what’s come and gone. And though your reflection, you are guided to set an intention that will guide you through whatever comes next.

However, not all new moons are created equally, and the upcoming new moon on May 19 at exactly 11:53 a.m. ET packs a real punch.

(1 Opinion) Here’s How To Harness The May Full Moon’s Divine Feminine Energy

Mercury Retrograde finally ended on May 14, which means you’ve made it through the chaotic period (relatively) unscathed. The May new moon arrives on May 19 at 11:53 a.m. ET with tons of opportunities in tow, so you can officially leave all the negativity behind for good. This lunar event is all about fresh starts, after all — but to effectively harness its energy, you’ll need to be tuned into the spiritual meaning of the May 2023 new moon so you can kick off your next chapter the right way.

Because new moons mark the first phase of the monthly moon cycle, they’re known for bringing abundance in the form of new beginnings. Thanks to the conjunction that occurs between the moon and the sun during this time, you’re able to plant seeds for your future, set personal intentions, and connect with your intuition. Not only that, but the May new moon is also rising in the practical and grounded sign of Taurus, so don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly flooded with stability in your work, relationships, and more.

Ahead, astrologer Brilla Samay shares what you need to know about the significance of the May new moon so you can use its energy to your benefit.

What’s The Spiritual Meaning Of The May New Moon?

Samay describes the May 2023 new moon as embodying the “essence of the divine feminine energy.” If you didn’t know, the divine feminine is thought to be a part of our consciousness where we access qualities such as intuition and receptivity. New moons are typically tied to intuition to begin with, but what separates this lunar event from the rest is that it holds a “profound spiritual significance in terms of ancestral connection,” says Samay.

“[The May new moon] serves as a conduit between the past, present, and future, providing a sacred space to honor our ancestors and receive guidance from their wisdom,” the astrologer explains. “It also invites us to deepen our connection with the earth and assume the role of stewards of the planet.”

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Aries

It seems that it will be quite hard for you to adapt to new situations this day. Especially if we are talking about an unexpected change in your plans.

You will probably find it extremely annoying and it will take you quite some time to regroup and think everything through again. Don’t worry that much, try to see the bright side because it might be quite an important one to this situation.

Taurus

Today you will probably get the chance to take action in regard to some plans you’ve had for a long time. For some natives it will be a great time for conclusions and closures in work affairs while for others it will be an auspicious time to go on a holiday.

You can focus on a hundred different aspects of your life today and make a change because the disposition will be on your side.

Gemini

This is going to be quite a difficult day for those natives who won’t be able to keep their mouths shut. It’s not the time for them to be all dramatic or to try to impose their opinions.

If you feel you are being overlooked you should gather strong arguments before speaking your mind. There might be a risk for judicial troubles to be appearing the following days.

Cancer

Today will offer you the chance to make up for past mistakes, especially in terms of your relationship or a romantic interest.

Be it that you apologize for your mistakes to your partner or that you start over with someone you’ve just met, this day will offer you a strange combination between courage, determination of convictions and charm to help deal with it.

Leo

Today your focus should be still on financial affairs, now stressing even more the importance of not letting yourself led by the illusion of wellbeing or counting on resources you don’t have.

Remember that money usually comes out of work, any kind it is and it’s first compromise time and then entertainment and not to mention the saving and investing need.

Virgo

This day might bring quite an adventure in your life and most likely in the romantic field of your life.

Those natives that are single and having no strings attached are sure to seize the opportunity to get to know someone that has caught their attention while some of the natives that are happy committed might have a hard time resisting some sort of temptation coming their way.

Libra

This day you will probably seem like the most fun person to be around. And it’s not for you being all sociable and entertaining but more of the fact that you let everyone do what they want, especially your children.

You are all understanding and calm this day and it seems that nothing will be too big of a trouble for you. You will also have some time for yourself later in the afternoon.

Scorpio

Today you might need to be all patient and understanding. If you’ve made plans for this day, leave them aside because there are little things that will actually get to completion today.

You don’t need to worry too much for not completing your work because there will be enough time in the following days but you do need to pay attention not to put pressure on anyone for not respecting your schedule.

Sagittarius

This day will be marked by a strong feeling of insecurity and fear. You might not have any reasons for which to feel this way but none the less you might end up blocking any initiative today.

You might be faced with the consequences of precious acts and this will scare you a little and determine you to be a lot more responsible for your actions.

Capricorn

Unlike yesterday, it seems that the wheel is finally turning for you and you will get the chance to spend quite a relaxing day.

Once you get all your chores done you will probably have enough time for yourself and even the mood to go out and meet your friends. Other than that, you might physically feel weakened as an effect to the stress you’ve been under lately.

Aquarius

For some natives, this day might bring wedding bells. And it is not necessarily for someone to propose or plan a wedding. You might just receive an invitation to such an event.

Whether you should accept it or not it’s up to you but for the single natives it sure is a great time to meet someone new. It might also strengthen family and friend connections.

Capricorn

Unlike yesterday, it seems that the wheel is finally turning for you and you will get the chance to spend quite a relaxing day.

Once you get all your chores done you will probably have enough time for yourself and even the mood to go out and meet your friends. Other than that, you might physically feel weakened as an effect to the stress you’ve been under lately.

Pisces

This is going to be quite a difficult day for natives whom might have to admit that they have failed in taking to completion a plan or a task.

They might be the ones to blame or they might have the right excuses but sure it won’t be a pleasant time. Other than that, it is a good time to try to consolidate everything you need to feel certain of and not take any risks.

Aries

This is going to be a romantic and entertaining day for most natives. Even those whom are single or are on the verge of a break up will have some fun this day.

You should seek ways in which to enlarge your views, from signing up for a course or getting in touch with people that could help you. You might feel that things are not going great at work but this is just a temporary situation.

Taurus

This day will probably bring you a few reasons to rejoice. It might not be anything of greater importance but sure will make your day. It might even give you the chance to gather your friends and go celebrate.

For those natives with children around, expect for the little ones to pleasantly surprise you today. Overall a good day if you pay attention to do things you really enjoy doing.

Gemini

Today you might not be on the taste of those around you because of all this sudden seriousness of yours. You are behaving almost like work obsessed and you put pressure on everyone around.

Maybe it’s not that necessary to be all grumpy and critic today. The word of advice is to observe the holiday and to try to be reasonable with those around you.

Cancer

Things are going to get heated today, romantically speaking. Be it that your mind is nowhere at work or that you are able to dedicate the whole day to dreaming with your eyes open, be sure you will probably have one person in mind for the whole day.

Those natives whom are already committed might be faced with an extra conjugal dilemma and they should resist to that temptation because it won’t bring any good.

Leo

Today will make itself remarked by its financial auspices. Be it that you are receiving a pay check as reward to your efforts or that you are taking action in a personal endeavor that is set to bring you quite some money.

However, you should think everything through and not be overly hopeful or count on money you don’t yet have as long as the deals are not closed.

Virgo

Today you might experience some quite contradictory feelings.

On one hand you are quite in a good mood and feeling able to relax and take everything just the way it comes, on the other hand your mind cannot stop stressing about work and all kinds of responsibilities and giving you a hard time whenever you try to take a break or time for yourself.

Libra

The statement of the day seems to revolve around the need of you making yourself fully understood by those around you. Maybe you feel like you’ve lost your authority at work or in front of your family.

Not talking about these feelings and letting them to boil up will eventually result in you bursting open in the most inappropriate of times so avoid unnecessary drama.

Scorpio

This is going to be quite a busy day in terms of work and your general professional development. Be it that you get the chance to work with someone that inspires you or that you change teams and find yourself in some sort of difficulty.

Be diplomatic and try to adapt because the following month will depend on the behavior you are having these days.

Sagittarius

This day will probably show you what a great moment it is for you to take a holiday. Those who are still working will be mostly affected by this disposition towards dreaming and continuous lack of concentration.

However, it might actually be a great occasion for you to have a time out and relax, recharge your batteries before the following week.

Capricorn

This announces to be a romantic day for you, be it that you are in a relationship or you are one of those singles not looking for love at all.

Even those natives that have turned their backs to love will get their share from the arrow of Cupid as it seems that everyone will be somewhat energized by a romantic vibe making them feel all attractive and charming.

Aquarius

This is going to be quite an agitated day for you, especially in your love life. Some sort of event, be it planned or unexpected will leave you all smiling and with enough reasons to rejoice for the whole day.

You should also get in contact with everyone you need to because communication will be positively influence and you will get everything right on time.

Pisces

Today you might feel like you are on your own in an important battle and like everyone is trying to escape responsibilities. Maybe it’s just your feeling or maybe people are actually avoiding you.

Most likely it’s because of you getting involved in something that is way bigger than yourself. You might also be faced with some consequences to things you’ve done some time ago.
